He who quells an angry thought is greater than a king. — EI.IZA COOK. HELP THE HEALTH BOARD HELP Dr. Raunlck and the Health Board get rid of the dirt —and thereby make Harrisburg a fly less town. . Physicians say that the housefly carries at least ten and probably a i dozen kinds of disease. Experts who I have made a study of the matter de- j clare the fly to be filthiest insect In the! world, and the deadliest. The fly j feeds on filth and food. When you see ! a fly be sure there is either filth or' food nearby—probably both —and where there Is a fly near food, don't eat, even though you may be hungry, for the fly's feet and wings are covered with germs as dangerous to your health and life as so many bombs dropped from Zeppelins. The Health Board is doing good work this week, but it must have the co-operation of the entire community if it is to do much toward ridding the city of the pests that annually swarm over it. Don't be a mere onlooker. Take sides for health. Rid your prem ises of every spot in which a fly may deposit eggs. One fly killed now Is worth a thousand killed a month hence and In this Instance the old adage is particularly apt that, "an ounce of preventative is worth a pound of cure.'" Let us hope that the superheated con troversy over who's who in the Repub lican party of Pennsylvania will cease after to-day. This State Is vitally in terested in the working out of the greatest problems which have ever con fronted the nation, and after to-day there will be less patience with those who foment or encourage in any way party disruption or dissension. If Phila delphia leaders cannot settle their own controversies without appealing to the State, then they should be given to un derstand that the party in the State at large has no sympathy with their factional disturbances. GOOD ROADS DAY THURSDAY, May 26, will be Good Roads Day in Pennsylvania. The experiment of setting apart one day a year for public work upon the roads under direction of State Highway employes was tried out by Governor Brumbaugh last May and proved so successful and beneficial that Good Roads Day has been made an annual event. News from all over Pennsylvania is to the effect that the occasion will be observed even more extensively this year than last. Dauphin county turned out large numbers of volunteers in 1915 un4er the direction of the Motor Club of Harrisburg, the Millersburg Automo bile Club and other organizations of the kind, and much good work was done. Cumberland county also had hundreds of men and boys on its high ways and the roads were better all year for their enterprise and efforts. Men came out last year who had not handled a shovel for years and to whom overalls had been strangers for so long they scarcely knew how to get into them. They worked hard in the fresh air and sunshine and by noon had an appetite that made the sand wiches and coffee by the roadside taste better than a banquet at home. Both the workers and the roads were the beneficiaries. Tho volunteers had a real picnic and not the least enjoyable feature of the day was the mingling of lawyers, doctors, merchants and men of all walks of life In the common work for public benefits. Already the window and porch boxes are beginning to attract attention throughout the city. Many have been installed during the last few days and many more will blossom forth before the first of June. Among those which have evoked much favorable comment are the boxes upon the window ledges and the main entrance of the Executive Mansion. Mrs. Brumbaugh has person ally directed the placing of these boxes and they are fine examples of art in flowers. POWDER MILL EXPLOSIONS THERE is nothing either difficult to understand or ( mysterious about the unusually large num ber of powder mill explosions that have occurred in the past few months. There is no good reason to believe that any of them have been the work of foreign spies. The powder mills have been running at capacity for a year. Many new plants have been TUESDAY EVENING, built—gome of them very hastily. Hundreds of unskilled men are em ployed in the manufacture of explo sives. Everywhere there is haste, and haste breeds carelessness, even among men who realize their danger. Work ing at full tilt the temptation always is to "take a chance." All the conditions have been favor able to Just such accidents as have oc curred. Until the pressure is relieved we may expect more of them. More attention is being given this season to the grass plots along thd side walks all over the town than for sev eral years. This fringe of grass along the curb line constitutes one of the most artistic features of the city beau tiful movement, and as little labor is Involved many more such spots can be created in the residential sections. With,the end of the primary hulla baloo to-day normal conditions are ex pected to follow, and the plain Ameri can citizen can now let his mind dwell upon his own affairs, leaving the coun try to save itself for a few weeks. THE RAG-BAG YEARS ago when the original makers of bond papers were starting to put their product on the market, requests were issued by the paper manufacturers to house wives to save their rags in order that they might be used to produce these new qualities of paper which were be ing put on the market at that ti/ne, and now it is not only a question of conserving the supply of rags, but of old paper as well. Americans are ac cused of thriftlessness and waste In many particulars, especially the people of the cities, and paper is one source, from the coarse wrapping paper that comes into the home and which might 1 be used again to the fine bond paper used in offices. But now the price of paper is going up by leaps and bounds, owing to the fact that the war prevents this country from getting most of the material from which pa per is made. Some of the standard papers are even now unobtainable. That some large firms are anticipating a shortage was brought to the attention of the employes of one of the largest news paper publishing houses in the West within the month, when old show, fashion, theatrical and political post ers were cut up into typewriting paper size, and furnished to members of the staff to be used for "copy" paper. Children are the greatest destroyers of paper, a habit encouraged in some homes to keep the child occupied, I which clings to it in school days and j often in later life in the business; world. Among the materials essential to the paper Industry which central Europe has been supplying are rags, and in 1913, when prices ranged from two cents to six cents a pound, the Imports of rags amounted to over two hun dred million pounds, or $2,907,705. These figures will give some Idea of our wastefulness when we consider the quantity of rags thrown away every day, with the result that we have to Import them from Europe. There was a time when the "rag bag" had its hook behind every cellar or storeroom door. It should be re stored to its place and beside it should be the waste-paper bag, as well. John Callan O'Laughlln is authority for the assertion that President Wilson wants the death penalty inflicted upon the submarine commander who torpedoed the Sussex. This is carryinrg the "pas sion for humanity" to an incredible ex treme. It was a demand something like this which Austria made upon Serbia and which brought on the war in Europe. There remains such a thing as Governmental freedom of action, even though a Woodrow Wilson is speaking. And. while we are on this subject, let us recall that no such a de mand has been made upon Carranza re garding the Mexicans who shot up Co lumbus. When one motors through Maryland he is impressed with the system of road building In that State. As the chief engineer of our own State Highway De partment had much to do with the Maryland road-building campaign, we may reasonably expect similar results In this State. One of the favorable im pressions received by the outsider In traveling over the Maryland roads Is that the State highways do not stop abruptly at the limits of every borough. A newspaper writer criticised Car ranza's note because it is predicated on the false ground that there is a stable Government in Mexico. On that point Carranza is entitled to call President Wilson ns his star witness. Wilson recognized Carranza and, of course, he would not have done so if he had not thought the Carranza Government was stable and efficient. The Telegraph has received from a well-known Pennsylvania Railroad op erator an interesting suggestion which it is glad to endorse. Our correspon dent outlines a rose festival for June similar to the pageant which is given an nually at Portland. Oregon. Automo biles are decorated with roses and the spectacle is said to be most attractive. Penbrook is now considering some plan of making the main highway through that town passable. It is to be hoped, for the credit of the citizens of that community, no time will be lost in placing the main street in first class shape. B. L. T., in the Chicago Tribune, sees the bright side to it. If the United States backs out of Mexico now, he says, we shall not be afflicted with another Democratic administration. There's a still brighter side to It, B. L T. We shall be spared that affliction in any event. Mr. Wilson's speech at the Jefferson Day dinner In Washington Indicates his belief that a nation may go to war as it will and may quit as it will. Pres ent day history In Europe proves to the contrary—but Mr. Wilson is not strong on the real meaning of current events. The delay in receiving Berlin's reply to the latest note gave the President no uneasiness, the Washington corres pondents tell us. No. Waiting and watching Is the President's long suit. Senator Jim Ham Lewis is reported to be displeased with the selection of Dixon Williams to be postmaster of Chicago. Mr. Willams, however, like the Senator, is a carpetbagger in 111 - noie—and what Is sauce for the goose should surely be sauce for the gander. In addition, Mr. Wiliams used to be as sociated in business down South with Mr. Burleson, thus conforming to two fundamental requirements of this ad ministration in the choice of men for office. Southerners and friends or rela tives of members of the administration have the call these days. LK the Ex-Committccman A light vote and a big ballot are go ing to work havoc with some political prophets in Pennsylvania to-day. In formation reaching the city is that the apathy among the rank and file of the Republican and Democratic voters to ward the row for control of the party organizations is general throughout the State, that the weather Is bad and that the call of work in the industries and on the farm and the appalling ballot are going to keep many from the polls. Under these conditions it Is probable that the cities will settle the election. The organizations in the Interior coun j ties will not be able to get out their voters and the result will be that Philadelphia, which is favorable to Brumbaugh, will show up strongly and the hope of the Penrose organization will be based upon the votes it can muster in Pittsburgh, Scranton,, Read ing and other cities where the opposi tion to the Governor has been mani fested. —The end of the primary campaign comes with a sense of relief because 'it has been marked by moves which are to say the least properly classified as singular. There have been blund ers on all sides and a lot of the bick ering could have been avoided. It is fortunate for the Republicans that the j Democrats are Just as badly divided. | Some of the men who came to the sur- J face in the disturbed conditions of 1912 are making an effort to stay ; afloat and some are trying to get back [after being submerged in 1914. —A number of notable congressional and legislative figures are going to be vitally affected by the primary to-day. Men whose names are familiar to many in this city are fighting the bat tles of their lives and the alignments , are the most remarkable known in a j long time. The chances are that I there will be some new figures in the | next general assembly. —The serenity with which Justice Walling and ex-Senator Knox are go- Ung through the campaign is in strik ing contrast to what the other people are up against. The justice has hardly been heard of and as for the former Secretary of State he is so generally 'supported that people have heen get j ting a lot of amusement out of the fighting among the Democrats over the I honor of running against him. —The cost of the primary campaign will run close to what an ordinary elec tion costs the organizations. It will be a long time before such a primary campaign as this is known again. Both of the old parties are turned up side down and men in high places have been handled with a freedom that would not have been thought possible a year ago. —ln spite of the yards and yards of matter printed about the loan bills in Philadelphia there appeared to be but few inquiries made regarding the way people were voting on them in the Quaker City and the attitude of indif ference to what was going on in Phila delphia which has marked up-State people since the row began was strik ingly displayed to-day. —Brumbaugh headquarters last night issued a statement cleaiming that the triumph of the Governor was assured and noting the large number of letters which have been received at the headquarters from men in sym pathy with the movement headed by the Governor. The statement conclud ed with the remark that last night the sentiment for the Brumbaugh ticket was "at flood tide." —Senator Snyder and Speaker Am bler last night claimed victory. The speaker's press bureau issued a state ment by the speaker to the effect that ho would have 60,000 majority in Phil adelphia. —H. M. Good, who was yesterday appointed postmaster at New Castle, is one of the Democratic wheelhorses of the western end of the State. For yearshewasoneof the Guffey standbys, a division chairman and national and State delegate as well as member of the State committee. The reorganiz es got him a few years ago and his appointment will do a lot toward holding western counties for Palmer If anything will. —Reports from Fayette county are that Senator W. E. Crow, candidate for national delegate and Congressman R. F. Hopwood would receive flatter ing votes to-day. The State chairman is candidate for State committee, too. —Some of the humors of the cam paign are the characterization by Congressman Vare of his opponent as a chauffeur and the declaration by Robert E. Lee. Democratic candidate for Congress in Schuylkill county, that he wants a 1,700-foot dry dock at Philadelphia navy yard. "Dry" Oregon Prospering [From the Portland Oregonian.] One month of prohibition, and all's well. All well, and then some. Look: Not a single famil- row has broken into the police court during the month. They were a common occurrence before 191fi, nearly all due to booze. Grocery stores have taken the place of corner saloons; rents have not been materially affected, the brokers say, and the number of vacancies left by saloons is astonishingly few. More money Is In circulation for gro ceries, dry goods and staple articles, says C. C. Colt, president or the Cham ber of Commerce, indicating that the workingman's money spent for liquor IK going Into other channels of trade, replacing the industrial forces appar ently left idle by the advent of prohi bition. And this Is not all. Mrs. Lola G. Bald win says the number of girls in the police court has fallen, almost to noth ing—a veritable revolution, she says. Intoxicated motor drivers have ceased to exist, acoording to the police record, Kerkless driving and speeding has been diminished many hundred per cent. Three times as many persons, or near ly so. were arrested In December as January, or a reduction of from 2,004 to 776. The number a year ago January was 7.743, or more than twice as much as last month. But here Is the big figure. Drunkenness in January, 1918, de creased nearly 8.00 per cent, under De cember. In December. 1915. there was 897 ar rested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct: last month the number was 119. One-third of this latter number were arrested January 1, the hangover of the celebration that marked the clos ing of the saloons. And with the reduction in drunken ness. Judge Stevenson, retiring police court magistrate, expects to see the re duction of 75 to 80 per cent, of all other crime. For nearly every crime com mitted he has repeatedly heard the single excuse: "Judge. I was drunk when I did It." "It affects the whole criminal order, from wife heating to murder," the Judge says. The Difference (From the New York Herald.] Kalserltes who are crying out against the "Inhumanity" of punishing those responsible for the killing of innocent Irish in Dublin have been the loudest defenders of the German government's method of punishing Edith CavelL.

Good Advertising [Kansas City Star.] This is the sort of advertising the Real Estate Board's .public utilities dinner brought to Kansas City. It is an editorial paragraph In the Boston Christian Science Monitor: The real estate board of Kansas City exhibits a pretty clear in sight Into the material needs of all communities when it places among the foremost of them cheap light, cheap transportation, cheap tele phones, cheap water, good schools and playgrounds and good housing conditions. Possession of these is practically certain to make a small place or a large place grow. The only better advertisement that could come would be from the circula tion of the news that these projects had become realities. Works By Faith Have ye suffered ho many things in vain?

WHAT THE ROTARY CLUB LEARNED OF THE CITY [Questions submitted to members of the Harrisburg Rotary Club and their answers as presented at the organiza tion's annual "Municipal Quiz."] How are the operating exnenses of the water department met, and is It self-sustaining? Operating expenses are met by the sale of water, and rate is made high enough to cover operating ex i (reuses. V FEDERAL AID IN FINDING JOBS By Frederic J. Haskin IF there is a woman anywhere in the United States, Alaska or even the Philippines who needs a cook or a maid for general housework and other work the federal government is now ready to help her get one. As a necesary complement, it is also ready to help the woman who is looking for the .iob. This is the latest development in the great employment bureau which the Department of Labor is now operating. This bureau faces a great national problem. The number of unemployed persons in the United States during re cent years has averaged more than two million at all seasons. Fully one fourth of these are women. The men, however, came in for consideration on the part of the government because more often families are dependent up on them. A service was organized to bring the man and the Job together. Its success was beyond all expectations. The thousands of men that had gath ered in the great cities were distributed westward where there were farms with waiting harvests, and mine's and lumber camps. This government employment bureau began simply as an agency for farm hands, and has gradually broadened the No Catfish Like Them [New York Post.] Mark Twain, who pounced with glee on the fact that La Salle and his com panion-explorers of the Mississippi nearly had their canoe overturned by an enormous catfish, would be inter ested in the controversy raging in Kan sas between the Hutchinson News, championing the Cottonwood river catfish, the Lawrence Gazette, defend ing the Kaw river catfis-h, and the Em poria Gazette, spokesman for the Neosho river catfish. The Kaw river catfish receive praise for their martial qualities. In pioneer days, according to the Lawrence paper, they were of long-horn variety, and though they have since been dehorned, they still form themselves in serried schools at the proper season and roar, much in the barbaric manner of their cousin:- in the Missouri. The Cotton wood catfish, according to the News liars, have been domesticated until they gather near the banks for the purpose of holding spring parties, and allow themselves to be fondled by the school children. But the Neosho cat fish, the Kinporia Gazette affirms, is neither ferocious nor vulgarly familiar, but a joy to catch and a joy to cat. "He is a gentleman, calm and delib erate, rather distant upon first ac quaintance. and, coming from his cool depths only when he feels that his de sire for closer acquaintanceship will be reciprocated. * * * He is calm but curious, and it Is only when he is reasonably sure that the offering be fore him is fit for his rather exclusive taste that he will accept. From the bass which inhabit vhe Neosho he has learned habits of coyness and in his more playful moments he is almost a flirt. The blue ribbon of edible per fection goes to the leisurely denizen of the cool, deep pools of the Neosho. What Not to Expect in a Husband In the June Woman's Home Compan ion a writer says: "Don't expect all the virtues in one man. If he is good-natured he may be lazy; if he is scholarly, he may be cold; if he is thrifty, he may be stingy; If he is generous, he may be wasteful; if he Is smooth, he may be deceitful. The man who charms you with his Im maculate appearance Is likely to be something of an old maid; the man who Is careful to pick threads off your skirt Is prone to pick flaws in you; the man and takes an selection of your hats may take an undue Interest in the hill which comes home; the man who, before marriage. Jumps to open the door, lest ,voi*r fingers be contaminated by the knob, may after marriage, allow those same fingers to be contaminated by the . washboard."

Within the last six months, its service has been extended to the women of the country aa well as the men, by the organization of a wo man and girl's division. Women's sec tions have been opened in New York, Philadelphia. Chicago, Pan Francisco andi Washington. Similar arrangements are soon to be made in Boston. Brook lyn, Cleveland, Kansas City, St. Louis and IjOB Angeles. A woman officer is in charge of each of these offices. In localities where branches for women have not been organized, women's ap plications will be received by the ex isting federal employment bureau. It is planned soon to have a woman agent in each of the principal cities of the country. The government work in obtaining employment for men and women is under the direct management of thd Bureau of Immigration, which is a branch of the Department of Labor. Secretary of Labor Wilson and Com missioner of Immigration Caminetti, are its chief proponents. The Depart ment of Agriculture and the Interior help by listing the needs of persons [Continued on Page 13] The Day of the Lord Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness and not light.

Congressmen and sen ators are rushing bills through and spending sleepless nights in an attempt lo "clean up" all unfinished business. Speaker Clark suggests an early end. His followers are legion. It is easy to understand all this. The truth is that, it will take all the Democratic leaders, administrative and legislative, working every day, without exception, from now until November 7, to prove to skeptical voters why they should be re-elected. —St. Louis Times.

It seems that in one city whole sale proceedings were inaugurated after some men had gone out and taken the automobile license numbers on cars which were being used as jit neys. As there was quite a number some mistakes were bound to occur and it so happened that a citizen in another city wrote an indignant repflV to a summons to appear on the charge of running a jitney. He set forth that he kept his car for his own pleasure and for his family and that he had not been forced to run a jitney as yet. The man is worth some thousands and had a $3,000 car. In another case the man sujnmoned declared neither he nor his car had ever been in the place mentioned and he appeared to be rather indignant that he should be accused of straying so far from home. Probably the funniest of all was the refusal of a man charged with illegal operation of a jitney to accept serv ice. He just ignored the papers in the case and went on his way rejoicing. Finally, there was one man reported as having a jitney whom the com mission found had never owned a car In his life. The movement to thin out the roosters which has been rather popular in other States will likely be extended to Pennsylvania before long. A few years ago the suggestion was made that one rooster in every six be killed because of not being needed and for the further reason that roost ers except at certain seasons of the year were liabilities and not assets, j Jn some States various times are set ! apart in the year to eat roosters, only one or two being kept to a farm.
