SHARKS KILL FISHING
Tampa, Fla., July 18. The W. D.
Cash, schooner of the local fishing
fleet, returned to port to-day because
fishing, the captain said, is made im
possible for schools of huge sharks.
The sharks take fish that are hooked
before they can be brought into tho
boat.
Heed the Warning
If You Have a Cough!
The deep-seated cough that does not
yield to ordinary treatment may lead
to distressing pulmonary troubles.
Or it may bring on a chronic bron
chial affection. Many persons now in
capacitated might have avoided such
disastrous results by timely care and
efficient medical treatment.
Among the latter Eckman's Altera
tive has an enviable record. It is a
lime-bearing preparation , which Is
easily assimilated in most instances.
Where used in connection with nour
ishing food and proper living, it has
given widespread relief.
Its from poisonous or
habit-forming drugs of any nature
whatsoever renders it safe to try. And
its content of calcium gives it tonio
value.
At your druggist's.

WANTS SINGLE
MEN ON BORDER
Overworked Mail Clerk Would
Limit Number of Sweethearts
of Soldier Boys
P. S.—From what I observe by
the papers, you folks in Pennsyl
vania are preparing to send .10,000
more men down here. Dan, for
the love of Mike, tell them to pick
out the single men who have no
relatives, and if they MUST have
sweethearts, let the limit be OXE.
Don't under any circumstances let
theru become possessed of any
more fountain pens.
That little postscript tacked onto a
letter to Daniel Barr. of the local Post
Office, from hid chum, M. J. Preston,
president of Branch 4 77, United Na
tional Association of Post Office Clerks,
in El Paso, Texas, deals with another
side of the unpleasantness with Mex
ico—as an overworked mall clerk finds
it. In addition to the regular mail
to the city of 70,000 the post office has
to handle the mall for 30,000 troops.
The letter was written under date
of July 14, some time before all the
Pennsylvania troops had reached the
Border. At tho time he was trying to
get the mail for the Seventh (Penn
sylvania) Division ready for delivery
Troop trains at the rate of four per
day unload their thousands of men,
according to Mr. Preston. El Paso
however, is pretty well accustomed to
the military scenes. "The boys are
arriving here in good shape," he
writes, "and they are fast getting ac
customed to tho ways and the climate
They could not have found a more
disagreeable or more healthy place to
put them. Hot days, cold nights,
cactus, sand, thorns, mesquit sage
brush, sand fleas, rattlesnakes, horn
toads—they're all here with similar
nice little things that go with our
West Texas country.
"Nothing doing so far as Mexioo is
concerned. We've seen so much scrap
ping and killing, or rather so much
of it has been aoing on along the Bor
der, that we are used to It. You could
not land a bet of ten to one that there
will be a war. We've had a pretty fair
round of entertainment here for a year
or more. What with Pancho Villas
raids close around town, the local Mex
icans and soldiers pulling off fights in
the streets, and the occasional tiffs
between the guardsmen and the regu
lars. we manage to keep amused. And
when all this mess gets mixed up with
a few cow punchers and some boot©—
it's a real sw«et place." .
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
MOUNT UNION HAS
MODEL VILLAGE
Built by Refractories Company
For Employes; Harrisburg
Man Interested
R. P. L. Davis, of Harrisburg, is
president of the Mount Union Refrac
tories Company, scientific manufactur
ers of bricks, who operate! a big plant
at Mount Union In the heart of the
Juniata Valley. But that's not all.
Mr. Davis and his associates are inter
ested in proper bousing and living con
ditions for the employes of the com
pany, and John Nolen, a famous Bos
ton landscape designer, is on the Job.
This new housing experiment is to be
known as the "Kistler Village."
Mr. Nolan, in the making of the
plana, was compelled to conform to
oertaln requirements which affected the
design. These requirements might be
given as follows:
The property Is to b« occupied mainly
by worklngmen with a low wage. _
The houses will be small.
The lots will be small.
Permanent sxlstlng buildings on the
property will be retained, namely, the
brick farmhouse, the stone springhouse
and the barn.
The river embankment will >e used
as a park.
Provisions to bo made for a recre
ation field of about four acres, central
ly located and level as possible.
Sites are to be provided for a school,
two churches and a center for stores.
The approach to the property will
be over the Juntata river, using the old
Mount Union bridge from Mount Union.
The architecture of the village, includ
ing the design of the workingmen's
homes, is the work of Mann & Mac-
Nellie, architects, who have done so
much elsewhere with this type of work
ingmen's development.
The stores are an example of archi
tectural beauty and unity; with one and
a fifth acres set aside for business use, I
providing about 600 feet of store front
ages. Assuming 200 feet per 1,000, the
population of Kistler in its present
limits, 600 feet will provide for expan
sion when Kistler trebles its popu
lation. The Community Hall is the old
barn remodeled and furnishes a place
for theatricals, banquets, moving pic
tures and other social or club activities
of the community. The Community Hall
is in an oval-shaped village green
bordered by main roads. The green
contains one and a half acres and per
mits raeervatlons for the sites of two
additional public buildings.
The station, Community Hall, store
center and such buildings erected
later at the intersections at the village
entrance form a civic center. Six house
designs are used, three designs of
single-family detached type and three
designs of single-family semidetached
type. Each family has six rooms and
bath and piazzas.
The Mount Union Refractories Com
pany has a good plant in which to
work. Kistler Industrial Village is a
good place for the worker to spend
the remainder of his davs plaving and
resting. He pays a rental of' $lO a
month for his house and he and his
family derive the benefits of good hous
ing in a community with a school, two
i churches, parks, play and amusement
j facilities close at hand. Another chap
ter is added thereby to industrial effi
ciency and employes' welfare, and all
the while Kistler Industrial Village
prospers and grows with a population
happy and contented.
Scientist Says He Has
Perfect Underground Phone
Special to the Ttltgraph
San Francisco, Cal., July 18. Dr.
H. B. Barringer Cox announced here
that he had perfected a subterranean
wireless telephone and that, incident
ally, he had discovered a new law of
physics, namely, that electrical energy
can be transmitted over a single con
ductor.
For the last five months Dr. Cox has
beer, working at Los Olives, Cal., with
j the United States forest service in an
j effort to perfect a system of wireless
, signals for forest fires. It was while
so engaged, he said, that he discovered
the possibilities of transmitting the
human voice through the ground. He
will leave in a few days for Wash
ington.
The equipment consists of an
ordinary telephone transmitter con
nected with a battery and a special
instrument, which is Dr. Cox's secret,
and then with a ground wire. At the
receiving station, Ave or fifty miles
away, is a similar equipment.
War Revives Shipbuilding
as American Industry
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C.. July 18.—War's
revival of shipbuilding as an American
industry is emphasized in a Bureau of
Navigation statement to-day showing
that the country's shipyards had under
construction or contract on Julv l 385
steel merchant vessels of 1.225,784
gross tons. High ocean freight rates
proved the stimulus that quadrupled
, construction within a year.
Great Britain, although hampered
by the drain of war and a big naval
construction program, still leads the
world in building merchantmen. Her
shipyards have under actual construc
tion now 423 steel merchant ships of
1,423,335 tonnage and would have
more but for the fact that private
yards are engaged in building war
vessels. The entire world in 1915
launched 743 merchant ships of
1,201,638 tonnage. Of these 84, of
177.460 tonnage, were launched in the
United States.

man of Mechanicsburg, survive.
PAVING ORDINANCE PASSED
Penbrook, Pa., July 18. At a spe
cial session of borough council last
evening the ordinance providing for
the paving of part of Main street was
passed on second and third reading.

CITY EMPLOYES'
CASE COMING UP
Important Compensation Mat
ter Will Be Heard in Phil
adelphia Tomorrow
Every city employe In the State of j
Pennsylvania Is vitally affected by an j
appeal to be heard by the Workmen's j
Compensation Board at Philadelphia
to-morrow. The appeal, which has
been taken by the city of Reading
from a decision of Referee Houck, of
the second district, sets forth that the
compensation act is unconstitutional,
in that it deprives munclpalities of the
right to an election of trial by Jury,
guaranteed by the constitution.
The case arose over an Injury to
Daniel J. Smith February 4. 1916,
while acting as a patrolman for the
city of Reading. He slipped and fell
on the sidewalk, and a lesion of the
heart led to gangrene. After an oper
ation he died on May 21. Referee
Houck awarded compensation of $3,-
098.35 to the decedent's wife and chil
dren. From this decision the city ap
pealed on the ground that such gov
ernmental agencies as municipalities
were entitled to trial by Jury,
i Th« d«ciaion In the first agricultural
JULY 18, 1916.
case brought before the referees of the
Philadelphia district was made public
yesterday at Philadelphia. The claim
petition of John Sobik, Manayunk, was
dismissed by Referee Scott on the
ground that the act expressly excludes
agricultural workers. Sobik, while re
pairing: a on the farm of George
Allen, of King of Prussia, suffered a
permanent injury of an eye on April
18. The dynajnite caps with which he
was blasting stone threw a chip into
the muscles of his eye. For the last
six years he has been doing general
work on the farm. This caused Ref
eree Scott to class him as an agri
cultural worker.
Referee "W. W. Campion, of the Wil
liamsport district, arrived in Philadel
phia yesterday to tako up the cases of
Referee Scott. The latter is resting at
I the Shore after an attack of appendi
citis. In speaking of the act, Mr.
Champion said that in his opinion the
weakest part of the law was that deal
ing with accidents involving the loss
of a part of a hand. The act classed
the loss of an entire hand as a perma
nent injury, but for anything less the
Injured person receives compensation
only for the period he is disabled.
WILL APPEAL TO RULER
Washington, July 18. Personal
letters probably will be sent, by Presi
dent Wilson to the King of England,
the President of France, the Emperor
of Germany and the Emperor of Rus
sia, urging them to allow food to be
sent from the United States to the
starving people of Poland. The Presi
dent has asked the State Department
to advise him as to the most desirable
i wax to proceed.
WILL SELL RAILROAD
Sunbury. Pa., July 18. Announce
ment was made to-day that stock
holders of the Winfield and New Ber
lin Railroad Company will sell the
property to the highest bidder. The
tracks follow a guley and thousands
of dollars have been lost due to wash
