WILLIAM H. JOHNSON
Veteran railroaders who started
when railroads were built in Harris
burs:. are not all Pennsylvania rail
road pensioners. William li. John
son, 540 Camp street, a retired Phil
adelphia and Reading Railway ear
inspector, has in his possession much
interesting data regarding the Read- •
ing system.
This veteran was with the com
pany during its troublesome days, lie
has a record of 4 4 years and three
months continuous service, lie start
ed in IS7O soon after his return from
the civil War. ana was retired in 1914. !
•Mr. Johnson was employed ac car in
spector for 25 years at the old Phila
delphia and Reading station, where he;
had charge of the passenger ears. For
twelve years he was at P., H. and P..
Junction, and seven years in Ruther
ford yards.
Franklin 15. (inncn. President
When he entered the service Frank
lin B. Gowen was president of the
Reading. There were at that time in
service four wheel cars, with live ton
capacity. Steel hoppers were also .in
use. Mr. Johnson tells much that is
interesting about incidents that hap
pened during his career.
He refers to the Molly Maguires. a
gang of bandits that infested the coal
regions. President Gowen practically
wiped them out with the aid of the
State authorities and special police,
ether things referred to are. were the
wrecking of ITie old bridge across the
Pennsylvania canal at Market street in ,
1879: the riots in 1877; the payment
«>f the Reading employes in script; "
the passing of the old station, and the
erection of the present Market street j
structure; the opening of ihe Ruther- 1
ford yards; and other facts covering
the Reading line from llarrisburg to
Reading and to Gettysburg and other
points. Mr. Johnson is enjoying the
rest he earned, and spends his time in
calling on friends and visiting rela
tives.

BOARD TO DISCUSS
DOMESTIC SCIENCE
"Will Introduce Now Study in
Schools; Careful Financ
ing Record
The Steelton school beard at Its
meeting this evening will consider
plans for the addition of a course in
domestic science to the curriculum at
the high school.
The addition of domestic science has ]
> been recommended by 1,. K. McGinnes. :
superintendent of schools, and will
likely lie favorably acted upon. A
course in manual training for hoys
and sewing lor girls has already been
introduced in the local schools upon
Professor McGinnes' recommendation, j
In introducing these modern studies i
. in the local schools the board has been
i placed under a heavy additional ex- j
pense. It has not as yet, however,!
found it necessary to increase taxes to |
obtain funds for the new work. Care- i
; ful management has been necessary, \
j though, to carry the additional bur- I
dens without increased revenue.
Besides caring for the new studies
the board this year has been com-
J polled to care for all the pupils in the 1
parochial schools in the lower end of \
the borough which were forced to j
close when the teachers became Hed j
' 'loss nurses on European battlefields.
To establish schools for these pupils ;
has cost the board well over $3,000
an«i it is possible that an additional
half-mill tax will have to be levied to
keep the schools out of debt.

secretary. These with ,los. W. Poniraining constitute
the board of directors. Manufactures the Bard single
and double actions for player pianos and the Bard
adaptable action which can be installed in any up
right piano. Thfs company has a large, well-equipped
factory at 921-23-25 Hemlock street, Harrisburg. Pa.
The Bard adaptable action is designed particularly
for installation in second-hand upright pianos, and a
large market has been found among retail dealers
who appreciate the opportunity thus offered to meet
the "trade-in" feature ot the business. Mr. Bard is
a thoroughly practical man, having been actively
connected with the piano business for thirty years,
the latter part of which he has devoted exclusively
to the making of player actions. He has invented II
number of important features which are incorporated
in tlie Bard actions. These actions are being used in
many well-known makes of pianos. They have at
tracted attention because of their reliability, respon
siveness and simplicity of construction. Associated
with Mr. Bard in the manufacturing and experimental
departments is Mrs. Bard, who is a player expert and
authority on the subject of pneumatic player actions.

THE PIANO AND ORGAN PURCHASER'S GLIDE
FOR 1916.
This Is the Nature of Our Business:
This company manufacturers Pneumatic Player
Actions —an instrument which changes an or
dinary straight piano into a full 88-note Player
Piano. Just stop to consider the held open here.
Of the ten million pianos in this country alone, six
million are seldom used. Why? Because this is the
day of the Player Piano! Think a minute. How
many pianos here in Harrisburg homes do YOU
know of that are seldom used, the owners of which
would be only too glad to have them converted into
player pianos if they but knew how. We'll tell them
how!
The player actions made and installed by this com
pany go into any piano without changing the case—
ANY piano can be so converted.
Then again, this company manufactures player
actions for piano manufacturers—that is, this com
pany makes the player actions that go on the market
as player pianos, and at present the factory is busy
making sample actions which will mean manufac
turers' contracts.
There Is No Borrowed Money;
No Outstanding Notes in the Company
This company has been brought up to its present
high status solely upon the capital derived from
stock sold. All machinery is installed and paid tor.
There is no indebtedness with the exception of small
current bills.
All We Need Is Working Capital

create that working capital. Common Stock is sell

For the present the company in selling these 400
