HAVE PARALYSIS UNDER CONTROL Xo Additional Cases Reported Here; Epidemic on In crease in X. Y. No additional cases of infantile paralysis were reported in the city to day, and Dr. J. M. J. Raunick. city health officer, announced that final steps had been taken to prevent any possible spread of the disease. A clean-up of the foreign section of the city began yesterday, and was con tinued to-day. The house at 126 Ann altey was fumigated, and places near by cleaned. The work will probably be finished next week. Arrangements have been made to handle any possible number of vic tims at the sanitary hospital site, which was placed in condition for im mediate use Additional tents will be procurable in a short time, should there be any more cases of the disease. A graduate nurse has been placed in charge and the place for treating pa tients is ideal, according to Dr. Raunick. Propose Foundation For Investigation of Plague Philadelphia Aug. 12. —A foundation for a thorough scientific investigation of the cause, means of transmission and cure of infantile paralysis has been projected by the Philadelphia Pediatric Society, it was announced to-day. An eminent pathologist who was associated with Dr. Simon Flex ner in the experimentations at the Rockefeller Institute has volunteered his services provided an equipped laboratory is placed at his disposal and urgent appeals are being sent to wealthy Philadelphians to provide the necessary funds. Four deaths from the disease and 16 new cases were reported here for the 24-hour period ending last mid night. In the State outside of Phila delphia 15 new cases were returned. 42 DEATHS IX XEW YORK New York. Aug. 12.—An increase in both deaths and new cases in the epi demic of infantile paralysis is shown in to-day's bulletin of the Health De partment. Forty-two children died of the disease during the twent-four-hour period ending at 10 o'clock this morning, and 16T new cases were -eported as against thirty-one deaths and 165 new cases yesterday. Since the epidemic started in June the plague has attacked S,l4 r > children and there have been 1,371 deaths. 1.42S CASES IX XEW JERSEY Trenton. X. J., Aug. 12. Eight municipalities heretofore unaffected by the infantile paralysis epidemic to-day reported the prevalence of the disease to the State Department of Health. Re ports'of 45 new cases were filed with the board, with Newark yet to report. The total number of cases in the State is 1.425. THREE MORE DEATHS IN PHI LA. Philadelphia. , Aug. 12. Three deaths and four new cases of infantile paralysis were reported to the Bureau of Health since midnight. Over 2,000 health certificates were issued in the last 24 hours, but the week-end travel at the ferries and railroad terminals was light, due to the fear that certifi cates for the return trip could not be obtained or that some new develop ments in the quarantine situation might occur. 1 3 I TIME IS MONEY SAVE IT For YOUR SON at The Harrisburg Academy which affords efficient experienced masters Full day session.

Compensation Begins on the Date of Death In case of death compensation to be paid under the Pennsylvahia Work men's Compensation law begins at the date of death is the ruling made by James W. Leech, a member of the State Compensation Board, in an opin ion filed to-day overruling objections to the award of Referee Paul W. Houck in the case of a Schuylkill coun ty miner's widow. The employing company appealed, citing the fact that compensation was not to begin until fourteen days after disability. The opinion in closing says: "One of the principal objects of postponing the payment of money compensation to disabled workmen until the expiration of fourteen davs was to prevent that petty and most annoying form of malingering, the ex aggeration of the harmful effects of a trifling injury so as to obtain a few days' holiday at half pay. Obviously death cannot be simulated nor exag gerated and prompt and immediate re lief to the bereaved family is of pecu liar importance." Valley Company Files Answer on Transfers The Valley Railways Company has filed an answer before the Public Service Commission in answer to the transfer proposition presented by resi dents of the West Shore. The problem will not be settled, now it is believed, without a hearing before the com mission. The company's answer includes the explanation that both the boroughs of Lemoyne and Wormleysburg are in an established fare zone from Market Square and that some years ago the fare was reduced from twelve cents and seven cents to five cents, from ! Market Square to Enola and from ! Market Square to New Cumber'and. | The transfer -system was in use then, I but with the drop in fare was I abandoned. Complaints, however. 1 claim that the company operated at j that time with a smaller territory to | draw from and with less money. A ! request has been made for a hearing i on the question.

HIGH SCHOOL EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS Referring to the need of relief at the Central High school, Dr. Van Sickle says the situation is so obvious that there is little occasion to ad vance arguments on the subject. "The building would be fully occupied if only 550 pupils were enrolled," said he. To accommodate the present en rollment of 946 the school has to be divided into two groups, each group attending but four hours a day. Dr. Van Sickle points out that this is a great handicap and a disadvantage both to pupils and teachers as there is a growing tendency now to increase the study period to beyond five hours in order that the lessons may be pre pared in the schoolroom under the teachers' supervision. Lack of suitable laboratory space and equipment is deplored, for the studies of physics, chemistry, biology and physiography. The Needs of a "Gym" Facilities for physical training are wholly lacking, he points out, a dis crepancy which no High school should fall to provide for. "A well equipped gymnasium is therefore an absolute necessity in a modern High school," declares the expert. Other accom modations which are sadly lacking according to Dr. Van Sickle are in the library, manual training and do mestic science departments; incident ally the location and accommodations of the assembly room are decried. Erection of a High school on Allison Hill is not approved by Dr. Van Sickle. "Dr. Snyder's reasons for disap proving this proposal are convincing and in my opinion are as valid to-day as they were three years ago," says the survey expert.

It will be called the Pittsburgh. Cin cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Rail road Company. Large majority stock control of this corporation will be held by the Pennsylvania Company, all of whose $80,000,000 stock is own ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, The above was printed in to-day's Philadelphia North American in an article signed by Samuel H. Barker. Further explaining this proposition Mr. Barker says: "News of this huge plan to solidify a great part of the Pennsylvania sys tem. to recapitalize it and thereby to provide new ways and means for fin ancing additions and betterments which ■nlll need to be made as year follows year, came yesterday in official form. "In a circular letter dated Pitts burgh. August 10, sent to holders of minority stock in one company which jis to be consolidated, T. H. B. Mc- Knight, treasurer of tne Pennsylvania Company, briefly states what is to be ' done. Covers Many Miles "The operations or the southwest | system—it comprises 2346 miles of j line and 4616 miles of track—are to be taken from several existing com : panies and conducted by the greater | new corporation. It will" exchange its i stock for the shares of five companies ' which are to become integral parts of | one system. The companies which are i to become one last year earned gross 553.407.000 and made operating profits of $11,753,000. "When the consolidation is accom plished the Pltteburgh, Cincinnati, ' Chicago and St. Louis railroad will ex tend through or into six States, from Pittsburgh and Wheeling on the east to Chicago. Peoria and St. Louis on the west. It will reach also Cincinnati I and Louisville, and pass through such | other important cities as Columbus, : Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Log | ansport. "The companies about to be con- I solidated have a present total capital ization of about $171,000,000, includ : ing bonds and stocks. They have i outstanding $56,126,000 of stocks, which, on the basis understood, will be exchanged for approximately $87,- 300,000 stock of the new company. It is expected that its incorporation will also cover authority for a big blanket mortgage under which bonds can be issued from time to time as funds shall be required."

It now contributes but 34 0 pupils toward the total Central High enrollment of 946. The passing years have strengthened the argument against a third High; Harrisburg should become a much larger city be fore undertaking to support a tech nical and two general High schools." Advocates Central Location Dr. Van Sickle emphasizes the im portance of accessibility insofar as lo cation is concerned, and quotes frpm Arnold traffic report to the effect that Market square will always be the city's traftic center. The new high school should be "located reasonably near this traffic center." advises the expert as it it easily accessible from both the Hill and river sections. Purchase of ample ground in a desirable local ity to be helf if necessary for the tuture along the line followed by the city in acquiring Wildwood and other park land, is recommended. "Had the city retained the large tract of ground it once owned near the capltol," ob serves Dr. Van Sickle," its present high school problem could be more easily solved."

Tech's Admirable Location By way of emphasis as to the nec essity for relief at Central high school Dr. Van Sickle points out that under the present svstem the high school enrollment will be increased by 1825 to 2116. Better facilities would probably in crease the number of girl students, the expert explains, so that by 1926 the enrollment would probably total 24 00. Under the senior-Junior plan the en rollment would probably not exceed 1600 during the next ten years. "Our problem, then, so far as high school construction is concerned," says the expert," is to look ten years ahead and provide for an enrollment of 1600 in the senior high school or schools, be ginning now with an enrollment of 918 in the three upper classes of the two high schools."

It is at a point convenient to converging car lines and within easy walking distance of a majority. If not all the students. On Capitol Park Of further advantage. Dr. Van Sickle points out, is the fact that the trades school fronts on Capitol Park and has a direct way through to the island athletic grounds via Walnut street.

National Touring Week Promises to Be Annual National Touring Week approaches its final day for 1916 a rousing suc cess. Launched as a movement to get the American motor car owner out of the groove in which he has been au tomobiling around the roads close to his home town, it has accomplished its mission far beyond the wildest j dreams of its promoters. Exact fig ures are not yet available but it is cer i tain that more than a hundred thou sand automobilists with their families observed the great national motoring outing by vacation tours around their home States. America to-night knows herself, that is the beauty and wonder, broad cast in our country, a hundredfold bet ter than she did a week ago. National Touring Week has sent motorist and his motor car to the scenic beauty that lies below his own horizon, the en chanting landscape he has neglected so many years because it was too near to be worth while. There is to-night more pride in one's taste as a bit of earth Nature favored than existed a fort night ago. National Touring Week has been the greatest educator in "See ing America First" that has yet enlist ed in the cause of American scenic beauty. National Touring Week was conceiv ed a mere six weeks ago as the stimu lus American motoring most needed. The idea originated with E. C. Tibbitts, advertising director of the B. F. Good rich Company. The source of this great national motoring movement was logical. The B. F. Goodrich Com pany is truly the father of the Ameri can motoring tour. It has made "See ing America First" a nation-wide phrase. Moreover, it maintains a large touring bureau which furnishes free of charge to all motorists road maps, road logs, and the most detailed infor mation on motor tours. In addition it is constantly pathfinding new roads of automobile travel, and charting them on road maps. Its work covers the en tire United States. Every section of the country has been routed with pass able automobile roads, and this infor mation transferred to maps furnished American motorists on request. In proposing a National Touring Week, and later sponsoring a cam paign to arouse interest in it, Mr. Tib bitts was but furthering the year around encouragement to motorists given by his company. Once the move ment was launched it was greeted by newspapers and those interested In the automobile industry with warmest en thusiasm. Fully five hundred news papers co-operated actively in arous ing National Touring Week spirit amongst automobile owners. The idea of a great motoring vacation week was quick to seize the motorists of the country. No automobile event has ever cast such a wirespread appeal. On account of the striking success of National Touring Week, It is almost certain to be made a permanent Insti tution of American motordom. The B. F. Goodrich is being urged to con tinue it by all who participated in it this year. The chances are National Touring Week will be a feature of 1917. high school, were considerably larger," declared the surveyor. "I should favor making it the senior high school cen ter for the pupils of the two schools, both boys and girls, for 1 am a be liever in co-education both on econo mic and educational grounds. I have served as superintendent under both systems and 1 pronounce unhesitat ingly in favor of co-education through the high school as giving better train ing, for citizenship in a democracy than segregation. Boosts Co-Education "Where boys and girls are separated during the high school years the teach ers are deprived of the opportunity to direct the association of the young of two sexes and they thus lose an edu cational opportunity of the highest value." "This solution, which I should con sider the best, was made impossible when In 1904 the city entered upon a policy of segregating boys of high school age for vocational purposes." The Better Pl.-.n Three plans for solution of the high school problem were considered: (a) additional facilities at Technical high to include vocational courses for girls and a new school on the Central site, both to be co-educational; (b) new co-educatlonal building with provisi ons for vocational training for girls; (c) all boys to attend Technical high school and the present structure to be enlarged to that end; all girls of sen ior age to attend a new high school planned especially for their needs and located accordingly. Of these plans Dr. Van Sickle recommends the last, or Plan C. The new girls' high school should In the expert's opinion, be west of the railroad and not farther north than Briggs street. In conclusion the Springfield man adds a word as to the probable cost. The new girls high school, with a ca pacity for 1000, should not cost more than $350,000, exclusive of the site; with equipment, exclusive of the cost of a site, the figure would probably total $380,000.

President Wilson to-day had cancelled his usual week-end cruise down the Potomac on account of the growing seriousness of the railroad strike situation which gave him much concern. It was felt that this might be the crucial day in the negotiations in New Yorlfto avert a strike. Some officials here were interested in the suggestion that the Federal Board of Mediation and Conciliation be enlarged to give direct representa tion to railway employes and employ ers. This is thought to be desired by the railroad brotherhoods. President Wilson was ready, as a final resort, to deal direct with the employes and railway managements, and to recommend or suggest conces sions which might, lead to an agree ment. 26,000 Nonunion Men Petition Congress to Protect Them From Strike By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 12. A petition signed by 26,000 employes of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis not members of the great brotherhoods, was presented to the President to-day, asking Congress to pass legislation protecting unorganized employes against a tie up which would result from a strike of the brotherhood members. R. T. Frazier. of Nashville, Tenn., who took the petition to the White House, said more petitions from un organized employes of many more railroads would be sent to the Presi dent in the near future. The petition expressed the hope of non-brotherhood men that some definite action be taken whereby the vast majority of the people of the country shall be protected from a destructive interruption of inter-State commerce due to the wholly selfish action of a small group of men and that all differences which may arise between railways and employes shall be settled by arbitration. Wilson Wants to Consult With Leaders of Both Sides Before They Break By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 12—President Wil son sent word to-day to the mediators attempting to settle the threatened railroad strike, that he would like to consult with representatives of both sides before there is a break. The President was in communication, by telephone, with the Federal media tors, and asked that he be informed if a strike became imminent. Up to 1 o'clock he had not received word that the situation was hopeless. The President informed the media tors that a strike must be avoided and that if a deadlock were reached he would like an opportunity to talk to the representatives of the railroad managers and employes.

Chalmers Pilots Cars Over Yellowstone Scenic Routei Piloted by the Chalmers Six-30 which blazed the Twin-Cities to Yel lowstone route two months ago, ty-fivo tourists in 27 mot checked in at Gardiner on tlja even* ing of August Ist and enrolled as en thusiastic booster# of the National Parks Highway. Most remarkable among the fea tures of the tour was the fact that mai»7 of the roads encountered had b{*m laid down almost over night. When the Chalmers Pathfinder blazed the trail in May, detours for washouts were a. matter of course. Yet six weeks later the big tour went through on schedule over 1.200 miles of roads closely akin to boulevards. Thp Chal mers Six-30 which piloted the tour the entire distance averaged over 23 miles j an hour for the trip, although no at tempt was made to register unusual speed. That the Yellowstone tour opens a route of infinite variety to American motorists is conceded by all who made ithe run. From the time Minneapolis dropped behind on the horizon until Gardiner Gateway hove in view, the tourists ran the whole gamut of Amer ican topography. Lakes, plains, mountains and valleys came in turn, and the trip through the Bad Lands of North Dakota and Montana proved to be the most unusual and spectacu lar eye opener to the Yankee tourist in his home country.
