I He dwelt upon how co-operation be-1 tween the employer and the employes' together with the formation of safety committees within the different de partments. L. S. Williams, manager, illustrated his talk with lantern slides showing how accidents often happen through carelessness and explained how a cultivation of care on the part of the employe would save not only injury to the men but would also save the loss of revenue to those dependent upon him. Remarks on similar sub jects were made by C. M. Cole, super intendent and Wm. H. German, chief clerk. The program was concluded with a smoker.

TO PREPARE FOR WAR Leaders Formulate Plans For Big National Defense Or ganization Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. Dec. 15.—Should the United States be plunged into war, the women of Pennsylvania will be pre pared. Their homes will be ready, at a moment's notice, to be turned into emergency hospitals. Ambulances, purchased with their own money, will be stored in their «rarages. Their rooms will be stocked with blankets and bandages. They will know how to drive automobiles: how to cook for and nurse the sick and wounded: and they will be ready to feed whatever troops may pass through their cities. Definite plans for the work of the Pennsylvania Women's Division for National Preparedness yesterday were placed before eighty patriotic women, leaders in the life of the State, at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. George W. Cliilds Drexel, the chairman of the division. They came from all parts of the State, eager to do their part. Sco|«> of Work Outlined The lield to be covered was outlined by Mrs. J.

ON WITH DANCES AT CHARITY BALL Tell Centuries of History iu Chestnut Street Hall; First Rehearsal Four separate and distinct stages in the history of the world will be por trayed by the dancing youths and maidens of the times at the big charity ball. Thursday evening. January 20. The lirst great rehearsul of the dancers was held yesterday under the direction of Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, chairman of the tinance committee of the Associated Aid Societies. The ball is to be given for the benefit of the Charities. And, take it from the fortu nate spectator in the offing, if the pageant of dancing itself is to be any thing at all like the rehearsal, the charity ball will be a date you just can't afford to miss. The dances of antiquity, the dances of the middle ages, the dances of the Renaissance and the dances of the nineteenth century—they're all to be portrayed with all the attention to detail in steps and dress and coloring that made the light fantastic the vogue in the days of the periods they will represent. For instance, in the dances of an tiquity there will be "the dance of the vases," the Egyptian number, in which Miss Katherine Noland will star; then there will be the "flower dance" of the Greek maidens. Tho "pavane," or dance of the peacock, will feature the period of the middle ages, while the days of the Renaissance will be re called with the minuet and the gavotte. Then the nineteenth century steps will be gracefully developed in the "Var sovianna," the mazurka, the waltz— and the fox trot. Scores of the city's prettiest girls and most graceful youths will do the fancy stepping. The costumes will add their color touch. The straight black wigs and quaint one-piece gowns of the Egyptians will be detailed as carefully as the pretty flowered gowns and suitings of the various stages in history. Day by day the details for the great ball are beinj? worked out—the com mittee has even hit upon its slogan. So you can look for it most any day from now on until January 20. Here it is: "Keep the ball a-rolling!" HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH ASSERTS GERMAN LOAN SUCCESSFUL Subscriptions Total Six Bil lions, Declares Dr. Helfferick By Associated Press Berlin. Dec. 14, via London, Dec. 15.—Dr. Karl Helfferich, secretary of the Imperial Treasury, in his speech to-day in the Reichstag, in suport of the bill for a supplementary war cre dit of 10,000,000,000 marks ($2,500,- 000,000) denied liatly, assertions made by newspapers in foreign coun tries that the success of the German war loans was fictitious and made pos sible only by the loans of subscribers through the war credit banks. He stated that the total loans by these institutions was $400,000,000 as com pared with over $6,250,000,000 in sub scriptions.

Spangler, 2112 Sixth St.—Adv. FIRE COMPANY FOR RIVERSIDE Sentiment in Favor of Annexa tion to Tliis City Is Grow ing; No Borough It begins to look as though the long ilpaired organization of u tire company for the protection of Riverside will at last become a reality. The proposi tion was discussed pro atnl con at a meeting last evening and a committee appointed to Investigate and report on tliu project at another meeting which will take place in the Methodist Church on Friday evening of this week. The sentiment lias been found to be so strongly In favor of the or ganization of a company that definite action will probably be taken at the next meeting. Riverside Is one of the most recent acquisitions of this city in the way of suburbs, and extends from Division street, the city limits, to Vaughn street on the north, and from the river op the west to Slxjth street on the east. Their was considerable talk about a year ago of incorporation as a borough, and there was also some talk of coming In with the city, but both ideus were abandoned at that time, and nothing has since been said or done. "There is absolutely nothing in this story to the effect that we may become a borough," said one of Riverside's leading citizens this morning. There does seem, however, to be a growing sentiment in this thriving community to the north of the city in favor of some sort of control for the equalization of taxes, and annex ation to the city will undoubtedly be the form into which this sentiment will eventually become crystallized. We will sometime be the Fourteenth ward of Harrisburg, said one citizen last evening, to which one of the old er inhabitants replied that It couldn't come too soon to suit him. ltoari Tuxes Bring Kittle Itcnctit Lewis M. Neiffer gave some interest ing figures which threw light on the financial condition and assessed valu ation of Riverside. Three hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars were the figures that represented the value of assessable property, and the com munity pays about $1,070 in taxes for road purposes and $2,500 in school taxes. Not more than SIOO Is ever used for improving road conditions in Riverside, so the remainder of this money goes to the improvement of roads in other parts of the township. The State and county taxes amount to more than $5,000. A standing com mittee was instructed to take up with the township supervisor the matter of taking over the remainder of the streets in Riverside and spending somewhat more on their improve ment. Committee Active A committee was authorized to in stall at least four additional lights, which will probably be in place be fore New Year's. The matter of in creasing the water pressure was also discussed and a report will be made by an investigating committee at the Friday night meeting. Receipts For 1916 Will Be $81,525,500 Short, Acceding to Estimates By Associated Press Washington. IX C„ Dec. 15.—Treas ury estimates that receipts in 1916 will fail by $81,525,500 to meet disburse ments, including a $10,000,000 postal deficit, are cited by the House ways and means committee majority report on the emergency revenue law exten sion filed to-day as evidence of neces sity for additional taxation. It is esti mated that extension of the law till December 31, lit 18, would provide $6,800,000 a month. Revenue from distilled spirits, fer mented liquors and tobacco decreased $25,000,000 in the last fiscal year, the report says. Treasury estimates of ordinary internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, are $272,000,000, compared with $283,398,760 last year, "thus indicating a further anticipated revenue reduc tion from this source of more than $11,000,000." The bill to-day was reported back to the House favorably with a view to consideration to-morrow. Party lead ers have requested all members to be present to-morrow in anticipation of a lively party fight. Majority Leader Kitchin declares, however, that its en actment by the end of this week is certain. DECEMBER 15, 1915. REPUBLICANS TO MEET AT CHICAGO Philadelphia Loses Out in Fight For National Convention Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C„ Deo. 15. The National Republican Convention of 1916 will be held in Chicago and will open ut noon on Wednesday, June 7, one week ahead of the Democratic convention, which convenes in St. Louis, on June 14. Only one ballot was necessary for the members of the National Com mittee to register their choice. The ballot stood: Chicago. 30; San Fran cisco, 13; St. Louis, 7; and Philadel phia, 2. Former Senator William P. Jackson, member of the committee for Maryland, and Henry G. Wasson, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's mem ber, voted for Philadelphia. On mo tion of Thomas K. Neideringhouse, of Missouri, Mr. Wasson. oi Pennsyl vania and Representative Julius Kahn of California, the selection of Chi cago was made unanimous. Ilruiiihaugli Spcak> For Philadelphia Through the courtesy of the com mittee. Governor Brumbaugh was permitted to make'his appeal for the holding of the convention at Phila delphia before any of the speakers were heard. While the committee was holding its executive session, word was received that the Gover nor's presence was required at Harris burg, so the committee gave a spe cial hearing to him. The Governor addressed the com mittee simply and briefly. He said that Philadelphia was the city where the Republican Party was formed; that the party had been successful following the two conventions held there, and that no better or more ap propriate place for the convention could be found. He said that the city was well equipped to take care of the comfort of the delegates and that a warm welcome would be assured. Then he continued: "I believe the interests of the Re publican Party will best be served if the next National Republican Con vention is held in the State where the Republican Party was born. We hope for the reunion of the Republi can Party, which was so disastrously split in 1912. and hope that this will be accomplished in such a way as to be felt throughout the United States. The presence of the next convention in Philadelphia will not only help Republicanism in Pennsylvania, but will stimulate .the party in all the Eastern States. Other speakers will teil you why Philadelphia should be selected and will explain to you how well that city can handle the next gathering of the Republican hosts." Chicago's Selection Good Politics The naming of Chicago as the con vention city and the selection of a date one week ahead of the Demo cratic gathering, is admitted to be good politics and is fair warning to the administration that the Republi can party will force the Issue at the coming campaign. Those in favor of an early conven tion argued that the weight of pre cedent was in favor of the Republi cans meeting first and this fell in with the inclination of many of the committeemen. An embarrassment to such a program was found in the fact that West Virginia and South Dakota will not hold primaries until June 6 for the election of delegates. In the case of South Dakota there is a saving clause allowing a primary to be held April 1, and this, in all prob ability, will be done. In the case of West Virginia it is said that in spite of the lateness of the State's primary the delegates chosen will have plenty of time to reach Chicago to take part in the important proceedings of the convention. The tight for the convention was be tween Chicago and St. Louis through-, out the day. Those opposed to the selection of Chicago asserted that in 1912 the Chicago papers, especially those claiming to be Republican, hail been unfriendly, and had done much to bring about the split in the party, resulting in the nomination of the Progressive ticket and the defeat of President Tat't. The St. Louis contingent made the most of this situation and urged it as one reason why the convention should go to tliein. They also pointed out the possibility of carrying Missouri for the National ticket next year and the holding of the gathering in St. Louis a week in advance of the Demo crats would do Presidential electors and naming a Republican Senator to succeed James H. Reed, Democrat. The hostility to Chicago, much in evi dence, disappeared before the ballot ing took place and that city won with votes to spare. TO WAGE FIGHT ON FEW PLAIN PRINCIPLES At the Republican national com mittee yesterday it was indicated the party's 1918 fight will be waged on a few plain principles, among them be ing— Defense of American commerce. Defense of American industry. Defense of American lives. And the charge that Democrats in Congress did not stand for adequate preparedness until the war forced a change of front. Firemen Want Searchlights For Use in Fighting Blazes City Council will be asked by the Firemen's Union to provide a modern high-power searchlight for the depart ment and individual lights of the same type for the tiremen. The Union at its session last evening adopted a reso lution covering these requests, which will ba presented to Council in the near future. The big light, it is under stood, can be attached to the hook and ladder apparatus for service on the highest buildings and the individual lights will be used by the fire-fighters in buildings where heavy smoke, etc., interferes with their work. Physicians who volunteer first aid at fires will be permitted to ride on the apparatus. Fire Chief John C. Kindier, Edward Eisley. of the Allison com pany. and F. K. Smith, of the Camp Curtin company, were appointed a committee to represent the Union at the convention on national prepared ness in this city in the near future. A committee, consisting of a member of each company, will be named in the near future to serve as special policemen at fires. Fire Chief John C. Kindier was unanimously endorsed as a candidate for reappointment as fire chief, by the Firemen's Union last evening. FIRE NOT INCENDIARY By Associated I'ress Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.—Pre liminary reports from Department of Justice agents who investigated the re cent conflagration at Hopewell, Va., indicate that it was not the work of an incendiary and practically dispose of the matter so far as the department is concerned.

Not a Bite of Breakfast Until You Drink Water Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness and keeps us fit. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- I bustible material in the form of ashes, i so the food and drink taken day after | day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible ma terial, which, if not completely elimi nated from the system each day, be comes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot » water witli a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing Internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast, on the subject. Remember, inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet ens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.— 'Adv. '
