HARRISBIJRG TELEGRAPH
WHY HE DIDN'T
STOP SPEEDING
High Constable Wilbern Says It
Was Fault of Highway
Committee
William S. Wilbern, High Constable
of Highspire, in answer to the censure
which he claims to have received be
cause he did not stop speeding of
motorcycles and automobiles through
the borough issued a statement deny
ing that he was at fault. He declares
that the highway committee of the
borough council failed to have a num
ber of speed limit signs placed in posi
tion on the public streets until recent
ly. His communication follows:
"After a delay of. practically six
months, the highway committee of
Highspire borough has Anally found
time to place in proper position the
speed limit signs along the main thor
oughfare.
"The undersigned has on various
occasions been accosted by citizens of
the borough and reprimanded for not
using his power to abate the reckless
and unnecessary speeding of automo
biles and motorcycles, but owing to"
the fact that the highway committee
neglected having the signs placed as
ordered by council in the early months
of this year, it was practicaJly im
possible to have this matter remedied.
Since the signs have been placed in
accordance with the State laws, I de
sire to inform the public that all driv
ers of automobiles or motorcycles who
do not heed the warning of these signs
will be brought to Justice, without fear
or favor.
"I therefore ask all persons who
may have occasion to pass through
our borough to heed the warning of
these signs which specify fifteen miles
as the speed limit, as well as the
'Danger! Run Slow' sign.
"Hoping all persons will kindly
co-operate with the officer in strictly
enforcing the laws, thus avoiding any
chance of accident. Heretofore it has
been the custom of many individuals
to use the streets of Highspire as a
speedway, the several serious acci
dents have been narrowly averted.
Our citizens are very anxious to have
this careless running stopped."

High Constable.

[Continued From First Page]
Meals at to-day's Council meeting be
comes a law. r
The aldermen heretofore have been
subtracting their own fees before turn
ing the balance over to the city treas
ury. When Mayor Meals' ordinance
becomes a law "the magistrates will
receive their emoluments by warrant
after the voucher has been passed
upon by the controller just as other
city funds are handled.
"This may serve to prevent any
splitting up on a 'flfty-flfty' basis with
constables, if that is attempted," ob
served the Mayor drily in explaining
the measure. "Incidentally the city
may be ih pocket each year."
Council will meet in special session
at 11 o'clock Thursday to discuss the
recent audit of the city treasury ac
counts for the last ten years.

Plans For Walnut St.
Bridge to Go Before
City and State Boards
Plans for the proposed bridge across
the Pennsylvania railrpad tracks at
Walnut street, as prepared by J. E.
Greiner and company, Baltimore,
consulting engineers, were submitted
to Council this morning by Commis
sioner W. H. Lynch and were referred
to the Planning Commission. If the
city planners should pass favorably
upon the proposition, then the plans
must be referred to the Public Service
commission of Pennsylvania.
Two designs were submitted, one of
which provides for the building of the
west approach upon Walnut street in
such a way as to leave as large a
space as possible between the south
side of the bridge and the buildings on
the south side of the street; the other
provides for the erection of the west
ern approach entirely off the street
and directly in the capitol park area.
The structure is to be reinforced
concrete except over the tracks where
the girderß are to be of steel covered
with concrete. The bridge as design
ed will carry two lines of fifty-ton
trolley cars and twenty-five ton trucks.
The plans call for a 28-foot roadway,
with 8-foot sidewalks. Safety bays
are plans for each pier and seats are
to be provided at these points. The
lighting fixtures are designed for posts
which can carry trolley wires. The
bridge according to the first design
would be 2,185 and for the second,
2,202 feet.
By the first plan, estimated cost is
$284,446.98, which, if the 10 per cent
for engineering charges are added,
would run the total to $312,891.97;
the second plan calls for an estimated
expenditure of $289,717.38 to which,
if the 10 per for engineering charges
be added, would cost $318,689.12 The
city voted $300,000 for the job and If
the work was completed by the city,
engineer's department, the structure
in Mr. Lynch's opinion could easily be
erected within the appropriation.
City Managing Financially
With Good Balance on Hand
Harrisburg is managing financially

close to $450,000 in the city treasury.
City Treasurer Harry F. Oves to-day

which they might be called upon to
preserve order throughout some of
the States. There Is even the poss:-
hllity that some of the troops in the
event of a strike might be called upon
to guard or operate mail trains and
trains supplying the troops already on
the border.
The suspension or the orders pre
vents the immediate movement of the
troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Ver
mont and the movement of all other
mobilized units which were to have
gone forward as soon as they were
equipped. Some of the Kentucky
Ohio and Vermont troops were about
ready to go to the border.
It is clear that the suspension is not
a revocation of the orders and that if
the railroad strike situation clears up
the troops will be moved to the border
line.
The official explanation of the
change at the War Department is that
difficulties of transportation and
equipment suddenly developed have
made a delay necessary. It Is known,
however, that the railway situation is
the real cause.
A telegram from Major General Fun
ston made public by the War De
partment disclosed that the General
recommended the suspension of the
orders. His telegram follows:
"In view of a possibility of a gen
eral railroad strike. I desire to call
attention of the War Department to
difficulties that will follow in main
taining food supplies not only of
troops in this department, but of the
civilian population as well. These
border States produce but little food

Officials came here yesterday from
New Jersey to look over the route
which had been surveyed several
years ago, and to inspect the rolling
stock equipment which has been stor

til the line is completed to Gratz.
The roadbed is ready for rails, cover
ing a distance of 12 miles, the neces
sary bridges have been constructed,
and all we have to do is to clean up
and put down the tracks.
"The station built here when the
new line was started will be repaired
and made the headquarters for the
official forces for the present. It will
be a steam railroad. The engines and
cars are here ready for business when
the road is built. This line will cut off
26 miles between here and Ashland,
and will open up a valuable field for
mine and farm products, and for
manufacturing sites."
Residents of this place and at Grata
are quite Jubilant to-day over the
starting of the work and hope there
will be no further interruption. By
completing the line as far as Gratz,
excavating machinery can be taken
to the latter place and the remainder

A Message To Thin
Weak Scrawny Folks
An Can;' Way to Gain 10 to 30 round*
of !>o|l<l, llcultby Permanent Flesh
Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
"I can't understand why I do not get
fat. I eat plenty of good nourishing
food." The reason is Just this: You
cannot get fat, no matter how much
you eat, unless your digestive organs
assimilate the fat-making elements of
your food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
to the blood, where they may reach the
starved, shrunken, run-down tissues
and build them up. The thin person's
body is like a dry sponge eager and
hungry for the fatty materials of which
it is being deprived by the failure of
the alimentary canal to take them from
the food. A splendid way of working
to overcome this sinful waste of flesh
building elements and to stop the leak
age of fats is to try Sargol, the famous
flesh building agent that has been so
widely sold in America in recent years.
Take a little Sargol tablet with every
meal and see if your cheeks don t
quickly fill out and rolls of firm,
healthy flesh form over your body,
coverinjg each bony angle and project
ing point. G. A. Gorgas and other
frood druggists have Sargol or can get
t from their wholesaler, and will re
fund your money if you are not satis
fled with the gain In weight it pro
duces as stated on the guarantee in
each large package. It is inexpensive,
easy to take and highly efficient.
NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion,
etc.. have been reported, care should be
taken about using it unless a gain of
weight Is desired.
