Alspure Ice
(All Pure)
Is Cheap
Other Things Are
High
Instead of going up
until it becomes a lux
ury ALSPURE ICE
(All Pure Ice) stays
at prices so low that
everybody can use it
freely and "never miss
the money."
The thing you cannot
afford to do is to "skimp"
your refrigerator.
It's more economical to
keep a large quantity on
hand—than to have your
refrigerator get warm
over night and use up a
considerable portion of
your next day's ice to get
the temperature lowered
again.
The use of ice is an
economy, it enables you to
keep meats, fruits, and
vegetables that otherwise
would "spoil."
Plenty of ice will in the
end reduce living ex
penses.

paying refiners such high prices for
their product that independent jobbers
could not do business profitably.

SOCIAL CENTER?
Social Workers* Club Puts Mat
ter I'p to Directors Who
Oppose It
Shall the Young Mens Christian
S Association be turned into a social
center? Shall the old association idea
be cast asida to make room for the
| adoption of a community center in
which the religious atmosphere would
! be subordinated to the social side?
That was the problem which was
| discussed by the Board of Directors
of the V. M. C. A. at the regular
monthly meeting last evening. A let
ter from the Social Workers Club of
(Dauphin county to the president of
i the board was read, recommending,
] that the Y. M. C. A., together with the
| Y. W. C. A. and a number of the bet
i u-r equipped schools of the city in-
I chiding Technical High School, be
turned into social centers. The matter
1 was thoroughly discussed by the
! board and it was voted to refer the
communication, which was signed by
j John P. Guyer, to the trustees of the
: Association for their investigation as
ito the feasibility and legality of the
proposition. The feeling of the board
on the matter was in the main opposed
lo any such action as suggested by
the Social Workers' Club, but it was
determined to give every attention to
j tt>e proposition.
In view of the fact that Edward
i Roth, who. with his brother, Frank
1 Roth, have been conducting the
gymnasium classes in the Y. M. C. A.,
will leave the city for Andover in the
Kali, a committee was appointed to
obtain the services of a paid in
; stridor who will assume his duties in
: September.

HUGHES ATTITUDE

[Continued From First Page]
before making his speech accepting
tne nomination.
To Stay in New York This Week
Republican leaders and personal and
j political friends continued to call upon
Mr. Hughes at his temporary head
quarters to congratulate him on his
nomination and to confer upon ar-
I rangements for the campaign. One of I
| the men expected lo call to-day was ;
ex-lTnited States Senator W. Murray i
Crane, of Dalton. Mass., member of
; the subcommittee to arrange a date
and place for the official notification
|of Mr. Hughes of his nomination. It
was reported that Mr. Crane also
j would discuss with Mr. Hughes the
selection of a chairman of the Repub- i
lican national committee.
Mr. Hughes expects to remain here
until Monday, when he will go to'
Providence. It. 1., lo attend the com
mencement exercises of Brown Uni- I
versity, from which lie was graduated.
Quarters in Chicago
National Republican headquarters
i will he established in New York, with
! a second office in Chicago, in the
! opinion of Herbert Parsons, member
of the Republican national committee
; from this state.
One of the first developments of the i
day at Mr. Hughes' quarters was an i
announcement by Lafayette B. Glen- i
son. secretary of the Republican na- j
tional committee, which indicated that i
, it will be several da\s yet before any
decision is reached on the question
of the man who is to succeed Charles
D. Hilles as chairman of the Repub
lican national committee. Mr. Gleason
said that a subcommittee of the na
tional committee would "in a few
days" call on the nominee to discuss
the matter, Several names were undei
1 consideration, but one man's guess was
' as good as another, he said, as to who
would be selected.
I'se Movies in Campaign
Another development was an an
nouncement from the candidate's
headnuarters that moving pictures
would be employed to aid his cam
paign. It is planned to throw on the
screen throughout the country pic
tures of Mr. Hughes "in order that the
people may again become familiar
with Charles E. Hughes, because he
1 has for so long a time been virtually
out of public life." The screens will
: also display important passages from
Mr. Hughes' telegram to the national
convention accepting the nomination.

Edward Spittle had a painful hour
or so while undergoing trial for bur
glarizing the Fountain Springs Hotel,
Williamstown. W. T. Hall, the pro
prietor. brought the charge. Before
the defense was ready to begin, how
ever, the State admitted that it hadn't
enough evidence to convict and Spittle
was released.
One Dauphin county criminal jury
didn't believe William Lewis can catch
sl3 worth of fish any night, he goes
fishing. Lewis, in deprecating the
charge against him of stealing metal
from the railroad company, said he
didn't need to steal but that he could
make at least sl3 a night catching
fish. He was convicted and got $5 fine
and four months in jail.
"Stab you; Why honey, how CAN
yo say dat?" Rene Hammond ejacu
lated when Ordella Grovea charged j
him with stabbing her in the side. I
Rene, charged with aggravated assault
and battery, declared he didn't stab
her at all; that he liked her and al
ways had liked her. They had been
drinking, he said—the two finished
the "better part" of a keg of beer,
and he guessed he might have cut her
by accident as he whittled himself a
chew of tobacco. The jury didn't be
lieve that tale either and convicted
him:
For at least seven months, Mrs.
David Collins is sure of domestic
tranquility. Her husband pleaded
guilty to surety of the peace on
charges brought by the wife and
Judge Kunkel sentenced David to
spend a month in jail and to give good
bond to behave himself for at least
six months when he gets out.
Other oases disposed of included:
Mary Soper, charged with stealing
shoes from department stores, con
victed, sentence deferred until Friday;
Robert Steel, felonious assault and
battery, year to year and a half in
the penitentiary; Edward Thomas,
Harry Alleman and Abraham Scott,
larceny and attempted larceny, sis
months.
