SATURDAY EVENING, JTIA' 29 There ts nothing the body suffers :that the soul may not profit by.— GEOBGE MEREDITH. OUR CITY'S GREATEST ASSET WE reprint elsewhere on this page to-day an editorial from the Kansas City Star commending New York City for Its consistent and constructive work along the Hudson river, especially the Riverside Park Drive. This editorial will be of spe cial Interest to all Harrisburgers who are proud of the river front In this city. We have been particularly blessed In our natural environment and no feature of our wonderful scenery is more admired by the thou sands of visitors every year than the emerald strip and terrace along the "Front Steps of Harrisburg." Commissioner Gross has made some progress th:s summer In the grading of different sections of the frontage, but until tho lower part of the slope Shall have been riprapped, as has been proposed, we may expect more or less damage at every flood stage of the river. It would seem to be the part of Economy to utilize whatever remains of the last park loan in placing the river front from Iron alley to Maclay Street in such shape as will allow of liberal planting, the placing of per manent ramps and such other provis ions as may be required for the pro tection of this wonderful asset of the city. Only the other day, two officials from a western city spent several hours here and they Were astounded at the large park development that has been achieved in this city with so email an expenditure. It is certainly creditable to all who have had any thing to do in an official way with Dur park system that they have been able to accomplish so much with so little. Xo other section of the park sys tem, however, demands immediate at tention as does the river front, owing to the danger of damage through the frequent freshets of the Susquehan na. Comparatively little is needed to place the slope in such shape as to re sist the river at its high stages and in view of the increasing popularity of the river park strip there can be lit tle doubt that the public will approve anything within reason that is done to safeguard their playground and rest resort. Whatever additional filling is neces sary to bring the slope to the degree specified in the recent plan adopted ought to be done without further de lay. Stone that might be utilized in this work is said to be available and there would appear to be no good rea son for further procrastination in the matter. It is fortunate, indeed, that the Department of Parks was able to secure so much good material for fill ing out the embankment between the Walnut and Mulberry street bridges this summer and good business and good judgment both justify the prose cution of the work as outlined along the river slopes. There is abundant shrubbery and thousands of trees in the City Nursery and with the grading of the embank ment and the riprapplng of the low er sections of the slope, this planting can be given attention before cold weather, if not during the early au tumn. As indicated in the editorial else where referred to, "beauty is one of the greatest assets a city can have" and without boasting wc may add that the "Riverside Drive along the Hud son has nothing on the river front of Harrisburg. It is not clear why there should he so much whining over the Pennsylva nia soldiers on the Mexican border by their Indiscreet friends at home. If we may Judge from the interesting letters that a-e appearing- frequently in the Telegraph, the soldier boys from this city and elsewhere are showing their mettle in strict attention to their duties and without complaint. So long as the criticisms are based upon Inef ficient military administration it may be justifiable now and then, but it Is hardly fair to create the impression that thos« who have gone, to the front are bewailing their lot In the midst of uncomfortable conditions, f .UrPiK.XWG A\ ITII "MOVIES" r£ Democratic party will make extensive use of the "movies" In the coming campaign. We can see u all now. No doubt there will be pictures of factories running at full blast; ships leaving New York harbor loaded with exporta bound for Europe ana boutu America; President SATURDAY EVENING, ■Wilson, "•pfirinft a mortar *>oard hat and floii i by the Oxford dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus, will be seen typewriting notes to the belligerents and billets doux to Carranza; while a five minutes' review will t)e given of soldiers marching into Mexico and ! marching back again. The factory pictures, of course, will be taken In the munition and "war order" districts; the shiploads of sup plies to Europe will be over 50 per cent, munitions of war, and those to South America will take the place of goods formerly coming from Europe, Vhich is now cut off as a base of sup ply because European factories are bending their energies toward keeping the armies up to the highest efficiency in equipment. It is highly probable that tho Re publicans will also use the "movies" as a medium through which to educate the peoplef Accounts of the Vera Cruz fiasco, the Columbus and Santa Isa bella massacres, and the treachery at Carrizal have 'been given in sufficient detail to permit their depletion on the screen; pictures of shipments of fire arms and ammunition to the Carranza government might be shown; the two broken down aeroplanes which accom panied the hunters of Villa, the ma chine guns which insist on jamming, and the dilapidated equipment of our troops on the Mexican border will show what the Democrats have done toward preparedness during the past three vears. In respect to industry the Republi can party may run a film taken Just before the European war broke out. This would show idle factories, blown out blast furnaces, the long bread line of idle men filing by the Fleischmann cart, each getting his half loaf and moving on to the free soup house; the stockholder opening his mail at the breakfast table and reading that no dividend would be declared this quar ter on his stock; the docks at New York, Boston, Xew Orleans, San Francisco and Portland heaped high with goods made in foreign countries coming into tlife American market un der a near-free tariff law, and displac ing goods "made in America." The eye of the camera might then be turn ed on an empty treasury, and a corps of treasury accountants at work de vising schemes to fool the public as to the actual condition of Federal fi nances. Following this would come a picture of the Democratic members of the Ways and Means committee framing legislation for additional tax ation in order to meet the unparal leled extravagance of their party. And the entertainment might conclude with a still picture of Wilson, McAdoo, Simmons and Claude Kitchin, and a phonographic record of these four worthies singing in quartet— "We are the boys who hear no noise, When the voters loudy roar." Doubtless many of those who are now holding down jobs on Capitol Hill are awaiting with interest the out come of Dr. Surface's refusal to resign by request. In the interest of effici ency and all that makes for a success ful administration it would seem to be the best policy to get through with whatever changes are contemplated without further delay. NEED OF UNIFORMITY THE Pennsylvania State Associa tion of Boroughs has undertaken a work of prime importance to the motoring public in the framing of a uniform street traffic ordinance which it hopes to have adopted by all the boroughs of Pennsylvania during the coming year. The recognized need of such a meas ure is indicated by the prompt offer of Attorney General Brown and Com missioner of Labor and Industry Jofin Price Jackson to give what assistance they may be able to. Borough legislation in Pennsylvania with respect to street traffic regulation is confusing and chaotic. Eoroughs lying so close as almost to overlap not infrequently have radically different street ordinances. With the best in tentions in the world and a sincere desire to live within the law,Teven the most careful driver will violate traffic regulations of boroughs an average of a half dozen times for every one hundred miles of travel. Every borough Is a law unto itself and to obey all the rules would require con stant consultation of ordinance books and a traveling library aboard every auto on the road. THE BEAST: THE TELEGRAPH recently pub lished this item of local news: Alice Gutshall, aged 26 years, 214T Atlas street, who one week ago at her home drowned her 18-month old nameless baby boy in a bath tub and then took several bichloride of mercury tablets, with suicidal in tent. died this morning at the Har risburg Hospital. The young woman was more sinned against than sinning. Her ocly crime was loving too well and trusting too implicitly. She was a motner nut not a wife. She and her baby were with out the pale. Physicians said the nameless child of shame would have the further handicap of blindness. So she drowned the baby and swallow ed poison. Pitiful, you say? Pitiful, indeed! But what of the mar. :n the case? What of the unspeakable beast re sponsible for the young girl's ruin and her baby's death? Where is he? Behind the bars on a charge of mur der, where he ought to be? Oh, no! He is still at large. So ciety has so decreed. Perhaps he is luring other girls as he lured this one. He is beyond the reach of the law, but for all that the mark of Cain Is on his forehead and there awaits for him the punishment for those who escape the penalty of their crimes In this life. "Vengeance Is mine; I will repay, ■aith the Lord." Fire and brimstone appear to have lost favor In modern descriptions of Hell, but In rases like this one wonders why.

The Days of Real Sport ■ By BRIGGS ,3? tIFI , * in ST the Ex-Commlttecman The name of the Progressive party has been taken for the State elec tions this year by two different sets of pre-empters, one from Philadelphia and the other from Lancaster county. The first set took the name in the winter, but as yet there has been no contest inaugurated to test the right to use it. The name has also been pre-empted for the 9th, 12th, 18th and 30th con gressional districts and the 13th, 15th, 17th, 29th, 31st and 35th sena torial districts. The same name has also been taken for the First and Second Dauphin and First and Second Lancaster legisla tive districts. The name of the Local Option party lias been taken for most of the dis tricts in the State wherein congress men and senators will be elected and also in many legislative districts. In the last week there have been a number of requests made at the State Capitol for information as to forms to be used in withdrawing and it Is believed on the Hill that there will be a number of changes in the dis trict tickets before they are certi fied for printing. —Eli.ar Barfod, correspondent of the Philadelphia Xorth American at El Paso, charges in an article to-day that there was politics, in the organ ization of the First Artillery Regiment by the appointment of infantry officers, not skilled in artillery matters, as he points out, to command it. He also charges that there was politics in the matter, as Senator W. S. McKee, com mander of the Fourteenth Infantry, which went out or existence, turned up as colonel of the First Artillery. Inci dentally, he says the bill for armories in which Adjutant General Stewart took a big interest, went through. The charges attracted considerable atten tion at the Capitol to-day. —J. W. Allison, former county treas urer of Mercer and well known in Re publican circles, died yesterday at the age of 75. —District Attorney Rotan says of the Philadelphia vice probe that he proposes to go to the bottom of all the charges and to get facts and then act. —The Philadelphia Republican lead ers yesterday congratulated David H. Lane, the city chairman, upon his seventy-seventh birthday. The subcommittee of the Commit tee on the Revision of the Philadel phia City Charter, following a meeting yesterday, issued a statement to the effect that any changes which were made would be in harmony with the scheme of the present charter. In fact, it was staged that no such drastic changes as were at first suggested would be approved by the committee. Among the matters called to the atten tion of the committer- was the com munication from William Hancock, president of the United Business Men's Association and city representative on the Rapid Transit board, in which it was stated that the United Business Men would not support the proposition to make a small council of sixteen members—two from each senatorial district—with a paid city manager, as suggested by Clinton Rogers Woodruff in a plan made public at the last meeting. A Wilkes-Barro dispatch says: "Daniel L. Hart, who was removed as city treasurer at. the reorganization of council and subsequently elected col lector of school taxes, has lost title to the school board Job through a de cision of the county judges here to day. James Mundy, who was elected treasurer of the city, started man damus proceedings against the school board to compel the directors to turn their tax books over to him. He con tended that as the lawfully elected treasurer of the city, by virtue of that office he has the right to collect school taxes. The court, with the exception of Judge Garman, who dissents, up holds the contention of Mundy and decides that the law makes htm col lector of school taxes inasmuch as he la the lawfully elected treasurer."

New York Insists on Beauty (Kansas City Star.) New York is going to spend 150 million dollars just to hide the un sightly tracks and coal sheds of a steam railroad alongside beautiful Riverside Park Drive. The railroad company has agreed to spend $300,000 to make certain cnanges, such as moving away a high coal shed, and tunneling under the hill on top of which stands Grant's tomb. The rail road has also agreed to do away with steam locomotives along that stretch of road and use noiseless and clean electric engines instead. A model four hundred feet long has been built to show how the tracks will be hidden from view of persons on the drive, in places the tracks will be roofed over with acres of steel and concrete upon which earth will be put and lawns and gardens laid out and trees and flowers plant ed. These alone will surpass in extent and beauty the historic hanging gar dens of Babylon, that were one of the seven wonders of the world New York is doing this because she has learned that beauty is one of the greatest assets a city can have, and that it is worth spending 150 million dollars to make its Riverside Park Drive so attractive that it will be talk ed about everywhere. Everyone in this city and the South west realizes by this time that Kansas City's greatest asset is her system of parks and boulevard.-.; that the old Union Depot was for many years like a bluck eye upon the fair face of this city; that the new Unlfln Station is the greatest advertisement Kansas City has, outside the park system. This advertisement will bo made unor mously more effective by the Improve ment of the station setting—if Kansas City lives up to its opportunity.

Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomol- ogy, which is that branch of the Department of Agriculture devoted to the study of insects, caused to be dug up on the Department grounds a number of big, fat, white grubs, or garden slugs of the sort you frequently turn up when digging for bait.» These not intt-nded for bait, howtver, but for another government scientist, Dr. Langworthy who wears the title of Chief of the Bureau of Home Eco nomics, and knows more about cook ing than Anybody else in Washington. Dr. Langworthy presented the worms to his most skillful chef, who made of them a rich broth, thickened with chopped lettuce leaves and seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika. In this unusual form the grubs returned to the initiator of the enterprise. Dr. Howard, who consumed a cup of the worm soup with great gusto and pro claimed it delicious. One of his as sistants courageously backed the chief, and he, too, said the soup was good. There was no argument. These conservative scientists were not merely indulging; in exotic taste for an insectivorous diet. Neither of them had ever knowingly consumed any insects before. But they shared a serious scientifice conviction that In sects are an excellent human food, which is being almost neglected by civilized man; and they wished at once to put their beliefs to the test, and to give a practical demonstration of the edibility of bugs. The argument in favor of eating in sects is literally unanswerable. Like wise the prejudice among most civiliz ed peoples against eating insects is al most insuperable. So the situation is a deadlock. A sufficient number of exalted examples, like that. of Dr. Howard, might suffice to break it. If New York society, for example, would take up cockchafer on toast.and grass hopper omelette, there is little doubt but what these dishes would come in to general favor. An administration really desirous of lowering the cost of living might do much by having some of the more savory native insects serv ed at the White House table. Dr. Howard has made a beginning. Let whoso has the courage follow him. The matter is of far more moment thag appears at a glance. The popu lation of the earth is increasing at a great rate, and everywhere food is becoming more difficult to obtain. Es pecially in this true of animal food. Red meat, fish, shell-fish, and the Crustacea are all becoming scarce. The last of these, the crustacea, in cluding the lobsters, shrimps and crabs, are first cousins to the insects, having the same sort of flesh and structure. Yet the lobster soars to unheard of prices and is threatened with extinction, while his near rela tive, the June Bug. has escaped all consideration as an article of diet Our refusal to eai insects is incon sistent, squeamish and ridiculous— that is apparent. That is not the end of the matter, however. It may be stated with almost literal truth that sooner or later we will have to eat the insects in self defense. Modern life on this planet is a battle between LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM A UNION WOMAN To the Editor of the Telegraph: Can you tell me what is the matter with the people of Harrisburg, that it puts up with the way the railwav com pany is acting? Why don't they ask the city to take over trie lines? I think after a rainy day like Tuesday they should ask to make an ef fort to bring President Musser to his senses. What is the use in having the city and suburbs suiter for the want of car service? Just to allow a handful of men like the railway officials have their way? You must admit there is no reason in them—they are very good shareholders. If they weren't, thtvy wouldn't ob'ect to the union. If they wanted to treat their men fair and with respect, they would have no fear of the union. Now, if the company wants to save the people, let them come to the iront and recognize the union, and In a few hours the trouble will be set tled, and the strikers back to work. The union man wouldn't stick with a corporation when his fellow man walked out to better working con ditions. and he wouldn't step in and t«ke another mans lob. If the men who did this trick don't know what i they are and want to find out. I would I Hdvlse them to hunt up a universal dictionary; that will explain It to them. I am more than surprised at the city allowing the railway company to im : port those men here from New York After the health inspector had orders lo arrest anyone found here from New York. I think thev better get busy in , order to protect our children from In fantile paralysis. Vet these men were .-.llowert to come her* to run cars. Pos l albly they are considered aerm-Droof, jurr 29, rare. man and the insects—and the latter are in every physical respect better fitted to survive. All other forms of life have been subjugated by man so far as he has come in contact with almost undiminished numbers, and continues to menace the life and well being of the human race. Grasshop pers descend upon our crops and leave whole States in a starving condition as a result of these pests. The boll weevil, creeping southward, threatens the life of a great industry. Moths devour the shade trees of whole cities. House-flys take thousands of lives by acting as disease carriers, and the mosquito laden with yellow fever and malaria, kills more men than any wild animal that ever inhabited the earth. So modern life is in a very real sense a desperate struggle between man and the insects. Some scientists believe that it is the insects who will survive, and that they will own the earth long after every other form of life has perished. Dr. Howard be lieves that man will ultimately over come the insects by reason of his su perior intelligence; and the valiant battle which his department is waging against the insect enemies of Amer ican agriculture is an impressive de monstration of his theory. But whether we are to conquer or not. it is certain that the struggle is really desperate, and it promises to become more so as man extends his dominion over the tropics, which are the most productive part of the earth, and have so far been kept in a state of wilder ness largely by the insects who carry death to every intruder. Now in this struggle for existence it is evident that our enemies have one great advantage over us in that they live upon the spoils of war, while we do not. A pest of grasshoppers descends upon Kansas, and lays waste the country. The farmers go forth with poison and traps to destroy them There is heavy loss on both sides' But the grasshoppers live upon the substance of the farmers, while every cent which the farmer spends in de stroying the is a complete loss. Now just suppose that roasted and salted grasshopper was a staple food with civilized man as it is in North Africa. Corporations would pay the farmers large sums for the grasshopper rights off their lands. The insects would be gathered by the ton in huge machines designed for the purpose, and shipped to all parts of the world. The crops would be saved and the farmers would make a neat royalty to boot. This sounds a bit Utopian; yet some thing very like it is being done in parts of Europe, where the cokchafer is very abundant. Children are there employed to gather the insects which are fed to the pigs. A recent traveler n Germany reports that frequently the peasant children will stop in this work to pull the legs and wings off one of the luckless bugs and chew up his thorax and abdomen with great re.ish just as a boy employed to pick » e i? fllch one now and then. With the young generation thus learn lng" tne food value of insects, and with P ,V hre ? tene<l by a shortage of rood, there is reason to believe that Insects may become a staple before I trust the women and girls of Harris. bv r nM th u l thcy are ,rue blue by not riding in the cars.

Bocker—The President is certainly 1 doing his shopping early. Stoning <EJ|at Captain George C. Jack, comman der of the Governor's Troop or Troop C, of the First Pennsylvania cavalry, as it is known officially in the National Guard of the United States, believes in making the best of the situation and he is doing his best to have his men think so. The cavalrymen have not yet received their horses, but the captain intends that when they do they will be well qualified. He has sent hom« for copies of the field service reguiii* tions and the manual of drills whidfc. were stored In the State street arnw ory and the men will be put through their paces and well grounded in wha* Uncle Sam requires of his soldierv Captain Jack, thanks to his interest, has taken courses at army schools and is considered one of the best officers in the cavalry. When his regiment was mustered into the federal service at Mt. Gretna he turned out an even hundred men and the ceremony, which was witnessed by one or two Harris burgers, attracted attention. The United States mustering officer In charge paid the men a high compli ment upon their number and spirit. When the troop returns from El Paso the men will be mighty well versed in field work if the captain has his way. Some time ago reference was made in this column to the potato growing activities of Benjamin Franklin Um berger, a popular member of the City Planning Commission. His friends thought at the time that Mr. Um berger was joking about his potato experiment on the nose of the moun tain at Duncannon. but this week he has demonstrated in the most practi cal way that he is a potato grower of no mean quality, having produced many bushels of the finest kind of Irish Cobbler tubers. Now will those other lawyers who were jealous of Mr. Umberger's agricultural experi ments conceal themselves in the tall timbers. Some of the strike-breakers are a source of infinite amazement and amusement to patrons of trolley lines and to people who live along the routes. Some of them do not think any thing of stopping care to get a soda and at the end of a run they occas ionally enjoy a smoke. Whether they "knock down" on the fares or not persons who ride in the cars can best determine, but they get a lot of en tertainment out of the sights along the streets and generously call atten tion to some of them. But best of all was a young, light hearted conductor on one lino who practiced lifting him self up on the straps for crowded days and informed one passenger that he believed he could "skin the cat" on them. Congressmafi B. K. Focht, of Lewis burg, is of the opinion that the State is overlooking some important mat ters in not providing bridges across the Susquehanna and that the Leg islature ought to wake up to the im portance of bridges at Watsontown and Montgomery. The congressman would have harmony of action be tween congress, the war department, the State and the. people and build one free bridge every two years until the three are constructed. He points out that there are ten bridges between Sunbury and Williamsport and In the similar forty miles between Sunbury and Clark's ferry not one bridge. Poli tics, he holds, should be eschewed and an effort made to get the bridges built soon. • * • Some of the jitneys being operated just now are studies in the way of ornament.
