BABY SHOW TO CLOSE TONIGHT Cooing Tots at Bowman's Will End Delightful Four- Days' Reign "Baby Welfare Week" is rapidly approaching its close, and by the time this paper reaches the homes of Har risburg it will be history except for the short session that wil be held this evening at 7.30 o'clock for the special benefit of parents. "Fathers' Night" is the most suitable way to describe it. although both fathers and mothers are expected to attend the wind-up. when Dr. Charles R. Phillips will make an address on "Parental Re spnslbility" and the last Pure and Certified Milk Demonstration, that has proven so popular on each occasion, will be given. Dr. Harvey Bashore, County Medical Inspector of Cumber land county, will be presiding officer to-night. (Gratifying Success of the Exhibit As one of the committee described the result of the four days' exhibit. "It certainly reaclred the spot," and that is exactly what it did. Great credit is due the committee and those others whose untiring efforts have made Baby Week such a big sucess. Mrs. Martha Falconer, one of the speakers yesterday, declared that in her knowledge there was never a meeting of the sort better attended The baby of course holds the center of the stage, although the growing child was yesterday the subject of discussion. Dean Arthur Holmes, of State Col lege, an impressive and forceful speaker, talked in an interesting way about the child in the home, and how necessary it is to be extremely care ful in action and speech, in that most children hold their father as the ideal and that "the king can do no wrong" is the idea that prevails in the boys' thoughts of their father. Mrs. Fal coner talked particularly about the girl and her mother, advising the closest relationship and trusting com radeship between the two. "The mother must always tell the truth," she said. Both addresses were much enjoyed and decidedly to the point. Attendance Doubled The attendance yesterday was just about double, that of the preceding day and the babies were there in even larger numbers. Great inlcrest was taken in the premium awards, which this time went to Oliver Ebersole. of Penbrook, weighing 32 pounds jit the age of two years, a bottle-fed baby, and to Wayne Muriel Murray, 507 Hamilton street, weighing 32 Vi pounds at one and a half years of age. Dr. J. H. Kreider, Dr. G. L. Dailey, Dr. M. W. Emerick and four nurses were kept busy aiding Dr. Henry R. Doug las, the examining physician. Special attention is drawn to the fact that the nurses and co-doctors do not make the premium awards. A prize committee makes all decisions and awards. To-day's program is under the aus pices of the Pure Milk Society, a re port of whose activities during the summer of 1915 may be of interest. During the four months from June to September, a total fo 2703 quarts of certified milk was served, costing the Society $159.95. 571 mothers were instructed in the modification of milk and general care of the baby and improvement in home conditions. There were 620 public welfare and in vestigation visits made from June Ist to October Ist, 1915. 367 babies vis ited the Milk Station at Front and Boas streets, and 179 babies visited St. Paul's Milk Station at 11th and State streets. Today's Speakers Norman B. Shepler, M.D. and Earl Schaeffle. M.D. Chief. Pennsylvania State Tubercular Dispensary, made the addresses this afternoon, with Dr. Frederick E. Downes, Superintendent Harrisburg Public Schools presiding. Dr. Shepler was likewise examining physician for the day. The remarks of both Dr. Shepler and Dr. Schaeffle were received with marked attention and with evident ef fect. Dr. Sehaeffie's subject "Tuber culosis in Children" gave a very clear and comprehensive description of con ditions, causes and effects with respect to tuberculosis in children. He spoke of how "some poor infants make an unfortunate choice of granddaddy or grandmother and then developments ensue which bring things to such a pass that "tuberculosis will get you if you don't watch out." a startling but true statement to bring mothers to a realization of the necessity for greater care of baby. He referred to figures compiled by the State Bureau of Vital Statistics showing the proportion of deaths from disorders of nutrition, Fint Prize of "Babj Week" finptM MARJORIES BATTLESH COMES TO HARRISBURG "Defense or Tribute" Is a Great Peace Picture and a Strung Advocate of Preparedness Marjorie's Battleship picture, "De fense or Tribute?" will be presented in this city next week for one day only, the time and place to be announced on Monday. . . . , This now famous picture, which drew enormous audiences to the Park Thea ter, Columbus Circle, New York, dur ing its fortnight's run there. Is endors ed by the New York Tribune, and thou sand's of newspapers in the country. It has earned the title of Marjorie's Bat tleship Picture, because it is selected by the Tribune to help Marjorie build the battleship which she is anxious to add to the American navy. Marjorie Sterrett, like the rest of the community, was stirred to the depths of her heart at the lack of naval and military preparedness which char acterizes the United States. So Mar jorie sent a dime to a newspaper and Invited the people to do likewise. The dime was accepted and the fund started by the New York Tribune, and a large sum of money was soon received at the offices ot that paper. Marjorie has become a national hero ine and the fund is having a nation wide appeal. Thousands of newspapers are co-operating with the New ork Tribune in its appeal. Now comes the great spectacular drama, "Defense or Tribute?" to aid in the great cause. Everybody who pays to see the picture will have the patriotic satisfaction of contributing something toward the de fense of their beloved country. congenital effects, conditions due to lack of hygiene and death due to acute contagious diseases; then he ex plained the relations between tuber culosis and all the disorders men tioned, including measles, whooping cough, influenza, scarlet fever and diphtheria. A blueprint was dis played giving a graphic representa tion of the proportions of the above diseases. Although practically all have at one time or another harbored tuberculosis, only from 7 to 10 per cent give way to it. To prevent infec tion and deevlopment tuberculosis, our resistance must be kept up to par by obeying the laws of health. Dr. Schaeffle closed his remarks by giving a few facts about the Mont Alto and Cresson sanatorlums, and lelling how special attention at these health-In ducing resorts is given to the children. In May of this year, 300 new beds will be thrown open at Cresson, 200 of them for children. "What are we go ing to do about it, treat our children at home or at an institution?" was the question which ho left in the minds of his hearers. 'l'llis Evening's Address "Parental Responsibility" will be the theme discussed by Dr. Clarence R. Phillips this evening. It will bo well worth hearing and parents are urged to make a point of being there. Dr. Phillips will take up the question of responsibility from a number of dif ferent angles, arguing that a child has a right to be well-born, to expect his parents'to see to it that the proper food, clothing and home conditions are provided, and that he be protected from all preventable diseases, namely those that are contagious. The method of prevention is a strict ad herence to the rules of quarantine, to most of which the majority of parents pay little attention. Prizes to l>e Awarded March 25 The prizes for point winners will be awarded on the fourth floor of Bowman's, where the exhibits have been held, on March 25. Herewith is given a picture of the first prize, now on display in a window of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart on the Fourth street side. Mushroom Floor System Used in New Bakery The mushroom type of reinforced concrete floors is one of the most at tractive and economical typos for fireproof buildings. Tho name mush room is an arbitrary one and takes its name from the flaring top of the column. With the use of mushroom slabs for either floors or roofs, pro jecting beams and Birders are entire ly eliminated, this is due to the fact that the reinforcing bars are Npread over the tops of the columns like a large umbrella, hence the great stiff ness which accompanies the use of this method. When the architects for the Stand ard Making Company building, were uonuldorini; IU« various types of re This picture. "Defense or Tribute?" has been termed an unanswerable argu ment In favor of preparedness and peace. It draws upon history for its Il lustrative material. History, we all know, repeats itself. The fate of Bel gium, Serbia, Poland. Montenegro, Northern France caused no surprise to students of past happenings in Europe. "Defense or Tribute?" shows us that military unpreparedness caused the downfall of the Jews, the Gauls, and other peoples before the Romans 2,000 years ago. Modern American patriot ism is determined, however, that that which was so dearly won in 1776 and 1812 shall not be thrown away now. The country is in danger; everybody with any intelligence from President AVilson down, knows that and says it. Newspapers all over the country are writing that preparedness is the su preme question of the hour. Public bodies, patriotic societies, prominent men of the nation—all classes in the community are united on this poini. Never in the history of. the world has there been such unanimity of opinion on a vital Issue, namely: the naval and military unpreparedness of the United States to resist foreign aggression or invasion. "Defense or Tribute?" is not a war drama: it is a peace drama. The lesson it teaches is that national self-defense is an imperative duty which the na tion and the Individuals comprising the nation must face if its independence shall be preserved i inforced concrete, which material j they know was more economical than the old method of using; clap tile for makinp: the building fireproof, they decided to adopt the mushroom type of iloors.

The experimental stage has long since been passed and the correct amount of reinforcing steel is j definitely calculated before the work is started. ! The use of steel forms has played lan important part in reducing the | cost of reinforced concrete construc tion.
