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.

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.

| draw from and with less money. A
! request has been made for a hearing

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. "Not only Is the

Millions of Dollars; Operate
in Six States
With authorized capital stock ex
pected to be J250.000.000 —an amount
equal to half that of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as now outstanding
—a new corporation Is to be created
to consolidate the important southwest
part of the Pennsylvania system.
It will be called the Pittsburgh. Cin

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."

Central High school unsited for con
tinued use as a High school but the
Hill section will not for many years
to come adequately support a separate
High school. 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."
In discussing the "junior" high

fact that this method would be advan
j tageous because it will insure better

Approximate Enrollment
Dr. Van Sickle- suggests that one
"junior" high school be located in the
present Central High building when it
is vacated and remodeled; one in the
Camp Curtin, and one on the Hill,
preferably to be erected on the unoc
cupied portion of the Forney site. The

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." Technical high
school, In Dr. Van Sickle's opinion, is
well located to meet the central site
exigency. 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.
The new school should have an equally
favorable location, he says.

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;

enlargement of the arbitration board
provided for under the Newlands act
to twelve members. This scheme is
understood to be agreeable to the rail
road managers.
"We came to the men." said Mr.
Knapp, "with our belief that after sev

prospect of arriving at a settlement
by mediation. Wo therefore put up to
the men a proposal of arbitration."
Wikon Cancels Cruise
Because of Railroad
Strike Situation
By Associated Press
' Washington. Aug. 12. 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.

good dentifrice, especially as to its cleansing qualities and itm
remedial action on sore, soft, bleeding gumsi in the treatment
of Pyorrhea, etc. Submitted the formula and asked them their

even so far as to make a chemical analysis—
Aivd They {gffjgg

With practically one accord—said:
"Senreeo appeal« to me more than any dentifrice I have aver
seen." "I cannot toy too much for Senreeo. It's one of the best I
used.'' "I can recommend Senreeo as the beet." "Makm, the teeth glisten

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.
