MANNING URGES NEW WEST SHORE SUBWAY (Continued from Page One.) burg and Camp Hill see that with the enlarging of the now small subway and the opening of it as a public high way the possibility of a new road be tween the two towns. And this is just what Mr. Manning hopes to see ac complished. Speaking of the subway, Mr. Manning says: "It is fortunate that there now exists a substantial .culvert under the tracks, although, of course, it is not sufficient to meet the requirements of the future, and what ever takings are made here should be made amply wide to meet these re quirements." Mr. Manning's Plans Mr. Manning already has drawn plans for the treatment of much of the West Shore territory and on a map which he drew a few days ago he has noted the proposed highway between Wormleyslnirg and Camp Hill. The road would be a continuation of State street. Harrisburg, via a new river bridge which Mr. Manning hopes to see constructed as a part of the State's plan of development. The Boston expert also talks of the urgent need of conferences between railroad authorities and persons In charge of the Improvement of certain territory. Mr. Manning's l<ettor in a letter received by the Telegraph, Mr. Manning says: "If you will examine the topographic plans which you will lind in the office of the City Planning Commission, you will notice that almost directly op posite State street is a valley leading l'rom Wormleysburg to Camp Hill, which in the future should be the main great thoroughfare from Har risburg to the west, because I believe the time will come when the bridge which I recommended in my address at the State House will bo established to continue State street, because it will b? more central to the city of the future- than any of the other bridge lo cations because it comes opposite the most important thoroughfare of the city and will have the State Capitol building on its axis. "If you will observe when you study this map, (lie network of railroad tracks anu yarda at the westerly end of the market street bridge, and if you will tr.ke the trouble to take a trolley ride and see how steep and narrow this main thoroughfare how is, and how difficult it is going to be to broaden it adequately, you will recognize the need of the wide thor oughfare in the Wormleysburg valley to which I have referred. This is of vital importanca in the whole west side improvement project and you should see to it. that everyone comes to recognize this. Relation to Stale Plun "While its local aspect is important, it if?, after all, less important than its relation to tlio State plan, because it will be the great, thoroughfare lead ins to the west from Harrisburg, the Capitol City. Urges Conference "There is one matter that I feel should be given the immediate atten tion by the boards that are acting to gether in the interest of the city and State, and that is, the relations of the Pennsylvania Railroad to all these crossings. Thoy have closed that por canal bank road going north from Harrisburg, together with one or two crosings. They have closed that por tion of the Riverside road on the westerly shore near Sheet's Island for some distance up shore. They have closed much of the westerly shore road south of the Market street west bridge and to Xew Cumberland. It is inevitable, with the increase in trans portation facilities which they must have, that some roads must be closed, and it is exceedingly desirable that all grade crossings should be elimi nated. There ought to be a confer ence between the railroad officials in authority concerning the future plan of the region about Harrisburg in order that main thoroughfares and un der-passes or over-passes shall be pro vided for at frequent enough inter vals to meet the city's future develop ment. The under-pass at Wormleys burg already referred to. is one of these essential separations of grade, and it is fortunate that there now exists a substantial culvert under the track, although, of course, It is not sufficient to meet tlic. requirements of the future and whatever takings arc made here should be made amply wide meet these, " The Qualify Store ' Of Character Christmas, the greatest of all holidays, will soon be (iift seekers are sure to find here, in our large holiday stocks, just the sort of things they have been look ing for.

SZr L. W. COOK ri PROPOSED ROADS BACK OF The above etching shows an improvement which residents of Wormleysburg and the other West Shore towns hope to nee accomplished soon. The photograph was taken from a point just back of the subway at Walnut street, \\ ormleysburg, and the roads with the dotted lines are those which citizens hope lo see built at some time in tlio near future. The road without a dotted line is now in existence and runs to (lie McCormlck farm. It is a pri vate thoroughfare. The dotted road on the left is the one proposed to take the place of the grade crossing at Ferry street which leads to the Keister and Brinton farms. Residents of Wormleysburg are willing lo have tho grade crossing closed, but they want a road at the place indicated on the left in exchange. The dotted road to the right Is the one wlfTfch Warren H. Manning has proposed in his plans for-the development of tho territory on the 'West Shore and also the road which residents of. Wormleysburg and Camp Hill are anxious to see constructed so that tho two towns may be joined. Tho ravine runs almost direct to Camp Hill. " • • * It will not be many years before the whole territory up to the RockvlUe bridge will be required. The growth will then be either east of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Wiidwood park, or it will be west of the river. Would Secure Shore Drive "If the people (o the west of the river realize their opportunities, they will see that their shore drive is se cured as it has been on the east side of the river, and that adequate con nection is made from Harrisburg across the river into the very beauti ful country along and between the Yellow Breeches and the Conodo guinet creeks, and to the mountain range of which a longer stretch conies within the six-mile circuit of Harris burg than on the easterly side of the river. It must be kept in mind that this mountain range will be the sum mer home of many Harrisburg peo ple when it becomes accessible enough to make the beauty of the scenery and its advantages known. It should also be borne in mind that the Conodo guinet creek offers an opportunity for canoeing and boating when the old dam is replaced on this creek or a new dam built nearer the river; an op portunity for canoeing many miles in this winding picturesque channel." ( My ton Boosts Subway .T. Clyde Myton, expressing the sen timent of 500 members of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, is greatly inter ested in the proposed highway be tween Wormleysburg and Camp Hill and says his organization will heartily endorse and co-operate in any move ment of the West Shore "boosters." Mr. Myton points out, too. that the proposed new highway through the now private subway at Walnut street, Wormleysburg, would greatly relieve traffic congestion at the west end of the Market street bridge. The motor club's secretary in talking of the 'cross-river movement said: "You ask if the Motor Club of Har risburg is interested in the contem plated improvements across the river? I should say vitally so. for the reason that any concerted movement made by the people on the west side of the river will, among other things, bring about better road conditions. Our organ ization, composed of 500 members, Do You Dread the Cold? Some people enjoy cold weather, take pleasure In winter sports and the keen air calls the pink to their cheeks and the red to their lips. Others shrink from cold and turn blue at the least exposure to frosty air. The difference is in the blood. Rich, red blood warms the body. Every long breath of pure cold air increases the oxygen it carries to every part of the system. Thin blood Is unable to take up the life-sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nourishment and the suf ferer is always cold, takes a chill eas ily hnd is miserable all winter. Thin blood Is largely the sufferer's own fault. Tt results from neglect, because the blood can be built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills supply the ele ments that the blood needs to make tt rich and red and to enable it to carry more oxygen. Building up the red portion of the blood Is simple but because thin blood does not call attention to itself it is often neglected.

"Of course we are interested in the laying out of a new thoroughfare to connect Wormleysburg and Camp Hill, which would greatly relieve Iratiic con ditions at the west end of the bridges and at the same time shorten the dis tance between the two boroughs for our members and other motorists who live in West Fairview and Marysville. "Road conditions, of all other things, should enter into this improve ment organization, as the west side of the river is the beginning and eml of the State highway between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh.
