PHILIP HOUCK Proprietor (Formerly at 4.10 Market St.) 1204 N. 3rd St. UPTOWN BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE Will Boost Community Inter ests and Shopping in This Big District Businessmen in the uptown district are forming plans for the organization of an "Uptown Merchants' Associa tion," which will he effected some time during January, 1916. For several months, the mercantile men of the uptown district have been holding meetings each weelc, to discuss plans for the future organization. A plans for future organization. A tem porary association of which K. L. Rink cnbach, is president, has been formed. The sessions were held in the various business places in the evenings, and events of interest to residents of that section of the city, wore talked IV5* informally. The businessmen of "3L* "Wjfcr Vfcu are enthusiastic over the proposed as sociation, and arc making canvasses among all of the merchants, property owners and residents of the district, to have them join. Interest is being shown on every side, and it is believed that as soon as the permanent association is form ed, every effort will be made to make it a substantia] one, and a benefit to the community. The present members of the tempo rary body are planning big things for the new year, in the line of Improve ments for the people in the uptown district. The interests of residents in the section north of North street, will be the first thing to be taken care of by the association, according to several members, but any event of interest municipally will be given consider ation. Co-operative Advertising Co-operative advertising is one of the things which has already been de cided upon, and a campaign to bring this about and make It a success for the merchant as well as the general public. To Push Improvements However, the merchants haver de crded to give much time also to the affairs of the community, as well as to business Interests. Improvements in street lighting, street railway ser vice, traffic at the inarketliouses, and other important features will be dealt with efficiently by the members, It Is said. The present plans are already well under way, and big surprises are promised to the people residing in the upper end of the city. Many of the problems now worrying the public there, will be solved by the association is the belief of the mem bers. Meetings will be held weekly, as has been the custom for the last few weeks. "The people's interests first, then ours," Is the spirit prevailing anjong the businessmen, who are already ac tively engaged in working out ways of accomplishing improvements to prove their attitude and convince their neighbors that the association will be a permanent one and will be helpful to the community. jUQur Library Tablet Few MiNuriTs wiTH ,the test Books c. M abazinfcs Police, by Robert W. Chambers. When Robert W. Chambers ceases to appeal in his books to the emotions and the human interest side of bis millions of readers, then and then only will his books diminish in popularity. People seem to struggle madly to reach them and then to peruse them with a frenzied haste. And no less than the others does his new sensa tion-producer "Police" tind a ready and eager public waiting to devour it. In this book (Appletons - ) his hero starts out to be n scientist; he tries hard to bo a geuuine, dyed-in-the-wool, honest-to - goodness, hobby - hunting, scientific hero, and to live up to his reputation as Chief of the Anthro pological Field Survey Department, of the BroiUS Zoo. But even this high sounding, complex title cannot prevent him from being cxtrcmeiy human, and be is just as sensitive to the appear ance in his field of vision of one of Eve's pretty daughters as is the next man: which proves his undoing as a scientist, temporarily. The professor makes scientific and "other" ventures to the four corners of the globe, and In the process of Ibis journeying the author takes occasion to satirize just about everything in modern society—from suffragists and secretaries of state to futurists and the artistic temperament. The illus trations are by Henry liutt and are of a nature to lure the reader to a thorough perusal of the entire book. Both book and illustrations are out of the ordinary, and calculated to arouse the interest that they do arouse and the story is written in that smooth, easy, flowing style that makes for easy reading without unnecessary concentration; if that is what the reader Is looking for, he will find it in "Police." Marvch of pur Bodily Dwelling, by Mrs. Mary Wood-Allen, M. D., (The Vir Publishing Go., $1.20). Good sense will tell us how neces sary it is that we keep every part of this delicate mechanism which we call our body in perfect working order, if we are to enjoy good health: and If we do not realize It, this book by Mrs. Allen will be found to be a very efficient teacher. Describing the body as a wonder house, the author carries out lier slmllo through the entire book, going thoroughly Into every department and likening each in a very charming way to a certain portion of a house. Mrs. Allen knows that study and obedience of the laws of physiology will insure that sound body which Is the beautiful dwelling place of a sound mind, and she is anxious to impart that knowl edge to others. There are rooms in this wonder house of ours, she nays, where work is carried on which even our great psychologists have not yet come to understand. There are some few rooms which are as mysterious as those to which Bluebeard gave F&tima the key. The brain cells are electric I CHILD LABOR LAW AFFECTS 40,000 Report Made to National Manu facturers Commends the State's New Statute The child labor law which will be come effective on January 1 will affect about 10,000 youngsters in Pennsyl vania and will prove a blessing to them and to future generations, de clares H. E. Miles, chairman of the committee on industrial education of the National Association of Manufac turers, in a report of which an ab stract was given out here to-day. Mr. Allies has made a special study of conditions in the schools of the State and has been looking up the in dustries. In his statement in regard to Pennsylvania he says in part: "Pennsylvania is now entering upon one of the greatest accomplishments ot' this generation. The law that every , v.ii,i jr. tv.,. fstnip must have the equiv alent of the first six years of elcmen- iu»y scnooung before going to work is a fine piece of legislation. If he is fourteen years of age and otherwise qualified, he may go to work under fair safeguards, but only upon further provision that he be released from em ployment. eight hours a week for in struction in his vocation and citizen ship in continuation schools that are now being established throughout the country. This is the first instance of compulsory school attendance until sixteen except in Wisconsin and the city of Boston. It is also the finest form of compulsory education in this country, because it correlates school with work, and goes far toward mak ing all the later life of the child better. "The need of the schooling was agreed upon by employers, social workers, educators, labor leaders and legislators. There were at first some differences of judgment as to-the terms of the lew. These differences are fast disappearing, partly through better understanding of the situation and largely because it has become clear to all that the law must be interpreted and applied always solely with the view of accomplishing its main spirit and purpose. "It is unfortunate that s few em ployers. not knowing-all the conditions, began discharging children some time ago. us hope with the present light no children will be discharged unnecessarily a single day before they need be. for such a discharge would necessarily hurt, the child and the cause. The law affects about -10, Of'"/ children and will elevate in years come the citizenship, the social and economic efficiency of the whole State. The Cox child labor act in its essential spirit and purpose and its assured ac complishment is one of the greatest, and best educational measures that has been enacted in this country." DIED NATURAIi DEATH Coroner Eckinger, after a post mortem examination of Frauline I Brown, the flfteen-year-girl, who was found dead yesterday morning after giving birth to a child, decided that death was due to uremic poisoning, and that the girl had not met with foul play. Xo inquest will be hold, as Mr. Eckinger believes the marks on her forehead were received when she fell. batteries, and the nerves are the tele graph wires, une of the special watchmen is the pink sentinel—th»* tongue, standing at the entrance of the reception room. And so the stor.v is told, of this laboratory of ours where marvelous processes are car ried on; of a manufactory where worn-cut materials are destroyed and new substances created; of a structure embodying wonders of mechanism and skill of engineering. The Boy Mechanic. Vol. TT, publish ed by Popular Mechanics. Half of the fun of being a small boy lies In making things. Yon remember yourself how you used to struggle over that wobbly bookcase that you made with your own bands, a marvel of workmanship, to your mind, when finished; or that four-legged table that insisted on avalanching its contents without any apparent provocation. Do you want a good Christmas gift for the growing boy who Is of an in ventive or mechanical bent'.' This book contains a thousand things for the boy to make, including the method of constructing devices for winter sports, motion picture cameras, in door games, electrical novelties, boats, pushmoblles, roller coasters, ferris wheels and what not, all profusely illustrated with nearly a thousand drawings. It will test the boy's In genuity and give him material for months of good hard, Interesting work. Tlie book ia not of one person, but of many, and every appliance described lias been tested to be sure that It is practical. It contains much of the in formation that a boy scout acquires, which Is a recommendation in itself, and then too, it is compiled along the same lines as the Popular Mechanics Magazine, which few will deny is the last word in the matter of modern, up-to-date inventions and devices.
