DOWNES TAKES CONTINUATION SCHOOL CENSUS Sends Information Blank to Firms Employing Children Between 14 and l(i ♦* To evert- individual or firm employ ills'. youngsters between the ages of '. ourteen and sixteen years—the school ; ge limit—Dr. F. K. Downos, school iperintendent, has sent out a circular letter and an Information blank re lating to the continuation schools as required by the new child labor act. The superintendent referred the matter to the School Board at its re cent meeting and Dr. Downes was directed to look up the necessary data. The school authorities plan to inaugu rate a system of schools for the youths <» 1 both sexes in their employ, but be fore any definite steps in this direction may be taken Dr. Downes wants.to be fully informed on the number of chil dren, present conditions, etc. A cen sus of the young employes of school . ge in the various factories, stores and other establishments will be compiled first. The Law's Requirements In his letter Dr. Downes calls atten tion to the law's requirements as fol lows: The new law also contemplates the establishment by the school district of special continuation schools in which the general and special education of minors be tween fourteen and sixteen years will be continued and extended during employment. Such minors will be required to attend the con tinuation school eight hours per week, thus leaving but forty-three hours as the maximum number of hours per week they may other wise be employed. By a recent decision of the At torney General all employment certificates issued prior to Janu ary 1, 1916, are valid and will continue to be valid until their legal expiration, but minors who hold such certificates will be re quired to attend the continuation school. in accordance with the new law. and must also comply with the new law with respect to hours of employment. The information which the school authorities are seeking for the com pilation of the census contains the following questions: Will you continue to employ minors between fourteen and sixteen years of age under the new law? How many now employed? Specify one or two leading features of minors' occupa tion. What vocational work do your minor employes most need? What day in school week can they best be re lieved to attend school? The hour that is most convenient to employers is requested and the num ber of days ifi which the eight hours each week may be divided. For in stance, the youngster may be allowed to put in his whole eight hours in one day. four hours in two days, two hours in four days, and so on.

Report Shocks lunula nd Tha British public received a shock in the form of a Saloniki dispatch stat ing that Gievgeli had been occupied by two divisions of German troops. Later reports, however, stated that this important position is not yet with in the range o ftlie invaders' guns. Gievgeli is on the Greek frontier near the Vardar river and commands the railroad north from Saloniki. The town first came into prominence dur ing the present war as headquarters of the typhus hospital of Dr. James F. Donnelly, of L T ew York, who died in Nish in February. The diplomatic negotiations with Greece seems no nearer settlement al though the retreat of the allied troops makes some definite reply from Athens hourly more vital. In military circles it is considered of primary import ance that Saloniki be retained as a base for future operations, even though the allied troops are forced to take refuge under the guns of the present forces of the allies are inade quate to cope with Bulgaria and the central powers whose armies, accord ing to a statement credited to Pre mier Radoslavoff, of Bulgaria, now number 1,000,000. Assassination Plotter Is Killed in Action By Associated Press London, Dev. It. —A dispatch to the Telegraph from Rome states that one of the Serbian leaders killed in rear guard fighting during the retreat, to the Albanian frontier was Voivode Tankossich. who was named in the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia and ac cused of being organizer of the plot to assassinate the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo. The dispatch says that Tankossich fell with the last of his band of 200 men at Kraguyevatz.

In September, 1914, Major Tankosic was reported to have been found dead by Austrians near lsrupagne, where he had commanded a battery of artillery.

The special meeting has been called by President J. V. W. Reynders to trans act the regular business which was scheduled for last Monday's monthly meeting which was not held because there was no quorum present. This ordinance is the first step necessary in the plan to build a new freight spur from Harrisburg to tap the plant of the Pennsylvana Steel Company, it grants the railroad the right to cross Trewick, Conestoga and Franklin streets at grade, it Is said. If the tracks are laid along the towpath it is understood that the company will fill part of the old canal. This, of course, would make it neces sary for the borough to find some other place into which to drain the surface water from the upper end of town, and it has been reported that in return for the right to cross Trewick, Conestogu and Franklin streets with its tracks, the railroad will build a thirty-six inch intercepting sewer the length of the part of the canal oc cupied by its tracks. In municipal circles this morning it was said that several of the council mon will oppose the passage of the measure unless the canal nuisance is settled lor all time. Their stand will he taken, it is said, on the ground that already these streets are crowded with the tracks of the Reading Rail road and the addition of three more grade crossings would make it exceed ingly dangerous for West Side people to get to the principal business section of the borough. Tt is understood, however, that the Reading Company is willing to do its share towards the canal question and thai the crossings will he protected some way. TEACH ICRS MEET MONDAY Superintendent L.

"And you see, too," he said, "I have stocked the stores pretty well this year and I want all of the good little hoys and girls to go to the toy departments and see the nice things.

The Thompson is unique in more ways than one. In the first place, it's sold only on a Ten-Year Guarantee—the only player piano carrying an unconditional guarantee over a long term of years. Let this one be a Christmas of music, and you can do it easily enough for the Thompson is sold on easy terms; to suit the purchaser. A player piano brings into the home all the joys of music—the classics, selections from your fa vorite operas, and quite as readily, a lively trot for the young folks. The Steger Piano, the other recent addition to our already complete line means much to the lovers of good music in and about Harrisburg. The Steger has justly enough been termed "The World's Best," because it is built in the largest exclusive piano factory in the world and which is fully equipped with every modern appliance, in charge of skilled artisans to insure the greatest durability and absolute perfection of construction—all under the personal su pervision of the World's master piano makers. Another point we would have you bear in mind:—the firm of Wm. F. Troup and Son is wholly independent of any other Harrisburg music house.

COST OF HARDSCRABBLE MAY BE $105,000 [Continued From First Page.] question which had been erected since 1871, will not be considered in the damages allowed. This is in accord ance with the decision of the court in the J. Q. Denny case a few years ago when Denny claimed damages of the municipality for the taking of certain of his property when the city paved Cameron street. Front street all the way to Maclay street had been laid out by a commission which recom mended the improvement in 1869. Won't Consider ltoathuu.se Tlie section in question states: No compensation shall be made or allowed to any person or per sons for houses or other buildings erected or built by any person or persons on any of the avenues, streets, lanes, and alleys of said city, from and after the said ave- I nues. etc., shall have been desig- j nated by said commissioners. If this principal is : held to be ten able. then the Berrier and Dintaman boat pavilions an dthe smaller wharves) and pavilions—ali of which were con-1 structed since 1871—will not be in- j Ivluded in the valuations. Only the. ground will be considered. That the viewers will hear any tes-'l timon.v on the schedule that may be j [offered on December 20 is understood: [following these sittings the viewers will prepare their report to the court ' during January quarter sessions. I The PavinK Question Should there' be appealß, one' ques tion, it is believed, in legal circles' upon which the contest will be made* is that the city exempted property" owners on the west side of the street from further damages when it assess ed them for paving and grading tli<* highway. The method of paying the damage* is a matter of conjectures. That ti<» provision will be made for the city'* share in the 1916 budget—and that: none will really be necessary—is gens erally conceded. The city it is under stood can take over the properties when it choses merely by filing bonds in sufficient amount to cover the va-» rlous properties. sls Per Foot Front Cjty Commissioner Lynch said h<* feared there might be appeals and the question may have to be settled in the courts. "As I understand it—and my inform mation is not official by any means,- as I realize that the viewers cannot make public their figures as yet—th<» city will have to pay probably fifty or sixty per cent, of the total damages. These 1 believe are about $105,000 which would mean that about forty, per cent.—between $40,000 and $45,- 000—will be offset in benefits to bra borne by the property owners on tha west side of the street. Just what the assessment for benefits is per foot: I'm not sure but I'm told that Jt is I about $45. If this plan is adopted* naturally the city's share of the inn provement will total to between s6o,■> 000 and $65,'000." HARRISBURGWOMEN MIGHT TELL HAIR SECRET A great many Harrisburg women, who have an abundance of beautiful hair, know about a remarkable hair formula which every woman ought to know about. For a number of years Harrisburg druggists have heen con tinually called upon to mix this forms jula. Undoubtedly the use of this form ula is largely the secret of the beautr and luxuriance of the hair of verv many Harrisburg women—and men. too. The formula consists of sixi ounces of bay rum, two ounces lavona. de comoosec. and one-half drachm of menthol crystals. Some people add a. teaspoonful of perfume. A New Yorlc physician and a New York chemist were recent'" consulted regarding thn efficacy of this mixture and they botli say they know of nothing better to de stroy dandruff, stimulate hair growths cleanse and invigorate the scalp, stop tailing hair, and to make the haiq fluffy and give It lustre. Anv druggist can furnish you the ingredionts which you can mix at home or will mix them for you. Apply to the scalp night ami morning and rub in with the finger tips.—Auvertiseinent.
