REALLY NOT MUCH DANGER ANOTHER case of in/antile pa ralysis having been reported in Harrisburg, parents naturally feel a return of the fear that the dis ease may become epidemic here. There is really little danger of that if proper precautions are taken. Children should be kept clean and in the open air as much as possible. They should bo kept out of crowds, given plenty of exercise, good foods and watched care fully for any signs of indisposition. The well-nourished, healthy child is not apt to contract the disease. The infantile paralysis germs finds Its most ready victim in the weak, sickly or neglected body. The degree of susceptibility of chil dren and other members of the com munity to infantile paralysis is rela tively small, and Is definitely lower than to such communicable diseases as measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria. This fact in itself constitutes a meas ure of control; and while it does not Justify the abatement of any prac ticable means which may be employed to limit and suppress the epidemic, it Bhould tend to prevent a state of over aoxlety and panic from taking hold of the community. Fortunately, only a very small num ber of the attacked are left severely and helplessly crippled. Lamentable as it Is that even one should be so affected, it Is nevertheless a reassur ance to know that so many recover altogether, that the ratio of deaths is low. and so much of. what appears to bo permanent paralysis disappears in time. Some New York restaurantkeepers have been compelled by the shortage of paper to reduce the size of menu cards, but there Is no change in the bills. DOCBLE HAPPINESS A WRITER in a current magazine says the late James Whitcomb Riley made himself one of the happiest of men by making happiness for others. It is an old thought, but one worth more attention than most of us are accustomed to give It. In our pursuit of happiness we are all too apt to think of ourselves only and to lay plans for our own selfish enjoy ment, falling to take into account what we all know—that the surest way to be happy Is to make others so. What better thing could we wish for ourselves than that the eyes of those who know us should grow tender or sparkle with good humor at the thought of some personal service of ours or some pleasant association or Incident for which we are responsible? In a quiet chamber in his old home In Harrisburg to-day lies the body of a well-known physician. He is re membered for the notable political tri umphs he won and for his accomplish ments in many activities of life, but the real tribute to his memory is being paid in hundreds of little homes throughout the city where he £ave, without thought of reward, his profes sional skill to bring back from the door of death to life and health some dear one of the family. If in his clos ing hours he was happy, this was the reason. Happiness lies not In wealth or leisure or freedom from care, but In making other happy, in little kindly acts, in spreading good cheer. True happiness is double happiness, yours and the other fellow's. Noiseless mosquitos have been found in Washington. Now let somebody find an Itchiest variety. OUR FOREST PROBLEM TEN boys are about to be gradu ated from the State's Forestry Academy. The number ought to be fifty, so far as the needs of the State are concerned. That being im possible under the circumstances the next best thing is Governor Brum baugh's plan to consolidate the police forces of the game, fish and forestry departments, so that the (Ire fighting, fish and game protection forces may all be multiplied by three. Forest protection Is a world prob lem, growing In Importance as the price of lumber Increases with the shrinking areas of woodland. From Canada comes the news of the greatest loss in decades from forest fires. Thousands of acres have been burned over. Millions of dollars' worth of timber destroyed, and worse still, en tire villages have been- wiped out by the flames, with the loss of several hundred human lives. It Is the sea son of forest flres In the pine and SATURDAY EVENING, spruce woods. Their work of de struction is not confined to America. A recent dispatch tells how the King of Greece was driven from his summer home and almost lost his life in a for est fire. But the problem of forest Are jTre yention on a large scale is peculiarly an American problem- In Europe the woods are smaller, they are "hand tended," so to speak, and the tinder dry undergrowth that feeds and car ries fire is rarely present. Very few of these European forests, moreover, are •'primeval." Most of them are the result of planting, and the trees are carefully spaced. A third safeguard that the European forest enjoys is the high price of wood. When they cut down and trim a tree there, they gath er up the chips and the trimmed branches. In the United States and Canada, the problem is so different that Am erican forestry amounts to a separate science. Here we have Immense stretches of virgin timber, much of It miles from any human habitation, with dense undergrowth choking the earth in many places, and with the chips and trimmings from lumberinc operations in- the old unregenerate days littering the ground like a pow der-train in the dry season. The furnace of destruction that raged in Ontario until the rains quenched it is a significant example of what Are unleashed in such a for est can do. Here in the United States we have 153 national forests covering 156,000,000 acres. It is Interesting to consider the system by which the Na tional Forest Service guards against the catastrophe of a big Are. There will be forest flres, appar ently, as long as there are forests. This fire season there have been 1,300 fires in tie western forest reserves. None of them took on formidable pro portions because they were up against a system that was too much for them, as It would be too much for any but the most exceptional fires. Fire fighting is really fire preven tion. It is a well-worn maxim that when a fire is fifteen minutes old, one man can put it out with his boots. Give it an hour's start and he will need a spade and another man to help him. Give it a day and the country side will have to turn out with dyna mite. Give it two or three days and there may be nothing left to do but what some of the Canadian farmers were forced to. They deserted every thing they owned and took to the lakes. Pennsylvania has never had an ade quate forest fire fighting force, but It is educating a group of boys In Its academy who will do for the woods of this State what the men of the forest service are doing for the national preserves. No doubt the beautiful Salunra, the Chippewa maiden who has beep sug gested to loan her name to the Queen of the Kipona contest, would in modern times be known as the Chippewa Chicken. WHERE THE DIFFERENCE LIES DURING the last fiscal year under the Republican protective pol- icy, 1913, our export! totaled $2,465,884,000. During the first fis cal year under the Democratic tariff policy of near-free-trade, 1914 (the Democratic law was In operation nine months of that year) our exports to taled $2,364,579,000, or a loss of $101,000,000. During the fiscal year 1915 we ex ported goods to the value of $4,333,- 659,000, an increase of almost $2,- 000,000,000 over 1914, and the Dem ocratic party attributes this to its poli cies, but has no explanation for the 1914 loss of export trade. Can any man call to mind a single thing tho Democrats have done to bring about this huge increase in our exports. The increase in exportation, 1916 over 1914, of 47 classes of articles coming under the head of munitions of war just about accounts for the increase in our total exports, 1916 over 19 J. 4. As usual about this time of year, the Democrats have carried Maine. The trouble is it seldom stays carried. THAT LEWIS SPEECH THE chief trouble with Senator Lewis, of Illinois, is that he ' has absolutely no sense of hu mor. In opening his address In the Senate purporting to be a reply to Hughes' acceptance speech, Mr. Lewis said: "I wish it known that I alone am responsible for my utterances of this day." Thus he left the inference that on other occasions and on other days, he Is not alone responsible for his utter ances. Most men who have the ability to get to the United States Senate take pride in being responsible for their utterances at all times and on all subjects. But the assurance given by Lewis was entirely unnecessary In Wash ington. No senator who knows Lewis would ever suspect that either the President or any other person with political ambition would consent un der any circumstances to be held even partly responsible for anything Lewis might say. After looking back over the flies to refresh our memories as to what Nor man Angell said when in this country, we feel like cabling London to make tho sentence eighteen years instead of only eighteen months. CAMPAIGN FAIRY TALES THOUGH Mr. Wilson's notifi cation is delayed, the advance sheets of the Democratic cam paign text-book are coming off the press regularly and the public is be ing regaled with a resume of their contents. They deal with the great "prosperity" which Wilson has vouchsafed to the country and with the "kept-us-out-of-war" legend. Fairy tales are not yet out of fash ion in Democratic headquarters, it would appear. They say that the Infantile paralysis germ can't stand up against doses of hexamethylenamln—name frightens 'em to death, we suppose. Ot 'PtKKOijitfaKZa By the Ki-Committeeman The local option campaign in east ern Pennsylvania will be launched September 25 at a popular priced din ner to be held in Philadelphia, An nouncement of this plan was ma4e yesterday by an executive committee of 1,000 for local option in Philadel phia. Election of members to the State Legislature who will support a county local option measure will be the object of the campaign. All the State leaders in the local option fight will be present at the dinner. A sensation was created in Lancas ter Democratic circles yesterday by the announcement that D. F. Davis, in ternal revenue collector in the ninth district, had decided to resign as chair man of the Democratic county com mittee. Following closely his con firmation by the United States Senate to the appointment of collector, there is a suspicion that his confirmation came on a promise to ease up on his political activities. Davis has been the Democratic political manager here for many years, and during the last mayoralty campaign the charge was made that as county chairman he had solicited campaign funds, a violation of a Federal statute. The charges, it is understood, had considerable to do with the holding up of his appoint ment. He will call a meeting of the committee shortly, when his resig nation will be tendered and successor elected. E. J. Schneitman. of Ellz abethtown, it is believed, will be Mr. Davis' successor. State Senator Horace W. Schantz. who is the county chairman as well as the candidate for Congress in the Berks-Lehigh district. Is presiding at the annual Republican county meet ing near Allentown this afternoon. It is being held at Levan's, on the Slat lngton trolley line, two miles nearer to Allentown than Schnecksville, where the the Democratic county meeting was held last Saturday. The principal speaker will be Philander C. Knox, candidate for United States Senator, who will make his first trip to Lehigh county. When the Wife's Away [Philadelphia Ledger.] A man who tried on his long-suffer ing wife the time-worn wheeze about the bread that mother used to make met with the tart rejoinder: "Well.you don't make the dough that father used to make." Four Pennsvlvanians who camped on an Island In the Susuehan na near Sunbury are no longer In clined to disparage the prowess of wo mankind in the gentle art of cookery. It seems that while the women of the party were absent they decided they knew how to fry fish more deftly and delectably than their fair comrades. Unfortunately, they used plaster of paris instead of flour, with direful re sults. Hereafter they will refrain from Interference with the benevolent despotism of the kitchen, and will re ceive with "an humble and a contrite heart" the soda-biscuit, pies and cof fee of a feminine dispensation. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PICXIC By Wing Dinpr 0, there's go In" to be some doln'» Up at Inglenook £o-day— For our business men are going There this afternoon to play. There'll be lawyers, merchants, bank ers. Manufacturers, et cet., Who'll forget about their business When they all together get. There'll be games of ball (quite rotten). Quoits and other sports galore. And to-morrow joints and muscles Will, no doubt, be mighty sore. But It's fine when men together Get, to fun and make a noise, Losing sight of age and mien. And be once again, just boys. Country Must Not Suffer [Philadelphia Ledger.] If the deadlock between the railways and their employes cannot be broken, if in spite of the efforts of the Presi dent to reach some kind of settlement a strike is declared, the public will justly place the ultimate blame upon the party to the dispute which finally refuses to assent to any compromise. The situation at present appears to be that both parties are sticking stub bornly to an irreducible minimum of concession. The railways say that they are fighting for the principle of arbi tration; the brotherhoods say that they are fighting for an eight-hour day. What the President proposes, appar ently, is that the railways grant the eight-hour day arid withdraw all counter suggestions, that the brother hoods yield their demand for time and a half pay for overtime, and that a federal commission investigate the results and report without prejudice to either side. It is not difficult to understand how, from the point of view of the railways, this seems to be a surrender to the brotherhoods. They have declared that to grant an eight-hour day woud put too great a burden upon them, and that they can not do it without some assurance of permission to raise rates accordingly. This may be true in a sense; yet it should not be forgotten that they have been heading straight toward such an impasse by their method of dealing with the men's demands. THE THIN I.ITTI.E TWINS The thin little twins went out to play In the pasture lot on a sunny day; Their legs were stiff and their faces small Were filled with fear of the world— and all They did was run to their mother's side. As if they would like to go and hide. The thin little twins spoke soft and low (In the horse's way, that we do not know); "The world Is big; is it kind?" they said. With puzzled shakes of each little head. "Will it smile at us as we grow up high?" Said the little twins with a worried sigh. The thin little twins stood waiting there, In the crystal cool of the morning air; And their mother said, .nil the world Is kind, And faith and trust you will surely find. If to evil deeds you will whisper. 'Neigh!' " And she smiled at them (In the horses' way). Moral. And do you know, though you're not a horse (You only are with a cold of course!) It isn't bad If you keep this rule. To help you out In life's rigid school. —Margaret E. Sangster. Jr.. in The Christian Herald. Which Is Another Matter (Florida Times-Union) . General Carranza insists that he has settled all his difficulties with the United States. Now, will he kindly •ettle our difficulties with him? HAJtRISBURG tfijftS TELEGRAPH ' THE CARTOON OF THE DAY —Taylor in Los Angeles Time* Making Patriotism Costly (Pittsburgh Dispatch) It Is a very strange state of affairs that the administration and the ma jority party In Congress have devel oped with regard to some of the gov ernment employes who answered the President's call for the militia to go to the border. None of the Postoffice Department employes, it appears, are to get their pay while in the service, the statesmen in Congress not feeling the nation's purse could stand such a strain, or perhaps fearing that ap propriating money to pay citizen sol diers their regular salaries while they are in service would interfere with the "pork." Now it develops that em ployes of some postoffices have been dropped altogether. Undoubtedly!' if public opinion is sufficiently aroused, there will be a change of mind regarding the matter both on the part of the administration and of Congress. It is a sorry sort of spectacle, this, of the government putting a penalty on patriotism. It will be recalled that when the call for militia was issued the President gave out a statement in which he expressed the hope that large employers would see that their employes who answered the call would suffer neither in the loss of pay nor loss of position. There was a chance, he added, for the busi nessmen to show their patriotism and he was interested in seeing how far they would avail themselves of it. They responded very generally and gener ously. Does not a like duty devolve on the President and his party? Use For Veteran Workman [Omaha Bee.] In the current number of the Rail way Review is an interesting article by a Pennsylvania shop superintendent on what to do with the veteran em ploye, the man who is no longer ac tive, but is still capable of some ser vice. This msin suggests a variety of employment in which the old employe may be well engaged, but his chief ar gument rests on the fact that his ac cumulated experience and consequent wisdom is worth much, and some times offsets his loss of agility Throughout the article is a suggestion of comfort for the men on whom time has placed its mark. The writer ar gues thfct so long as the workman is actuated by a desire to do something, he should be given something to do and not retired or "dumned" into a place where he has little or nothing to occupy his time. The principal plea is for the extension of reclamation ac tivity to men as well as to material, and is supported by numerous cita tions from shops of different railroads to show that the old men still possess much of ability that can be well utiliz ed for profitable service. As an answer to the "Oslerization" theory, the ar ticle is quite effective. Great concerns will yet find that retirement, even on liberal pension allowances, is not the very best way of disposing of opera tives whose hair is getung white.

Electrical Roll Calls For Congress By Frederic J. Haskin <—— J INTO the more or less dignified, at times orderly, and always slow procedure of the House of Rep resentatives of the United States is about to be injected an element of modern mechanical efficiency. Quite literally a jump spark is to be applied to the deliberations of the lower House. It will be in the form of an electrical voting device, which will be capable of recording and adding the vote of the members present in about thirty-four seconds. The average time occupied in call ing the roll as done at present by the House reading clerks is about forty minutes, for the name of every mem ber must be read twice. A congress man with a head for mathematics es timated that fifty-six days were spent calling the roll during the sessions of one Congress. It seems quite within the probabilities that this machine, if installed and successful, will save the Hou:-e about one month out of every year. Senator Underwood believes that it would save $50,000 a year in light, heat and telegraph service. As for the machine, it is the inven tion of B. L. Broboff, a native of Rus sia, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It has already been Installed and success fully demonstrated in the hall of the Wisconsin State Legislature at Madi son, Wisconsin, Mr. Broboff has also demonstrated it on a small scale in Washington. Many members of Congress have already expressed themselves as favorable to its installa Hughes and Wilson (Kansas City Journal) The difference between what Mr. Hughes would nave done and what Mr. Wilson has done lies deeper than the payment of political debts by at tractive foreign appointments. Even the presence of Mr. Bryan in the State Department was discounted by the notorious fact that Wilson domi nated his own administration and that Bryan was only a messenger and a straw man. Mr. Bryan need not be blamed for giving the impression that the protests against German aggres sions were "for home consumption," for Wilson was the State Department, and only after Bryan became impos sible did he dispense with his services. Mr. Hughes would not have blustered one day about "strict accountability" and the next prated about being "too proud to fight." Pretty Good Mv Uncle Jim, he said one day, "You'll find, as time slips on the way, That lots o' things you try to do Don't seem so much when you get through. An' mebbe you'll get glum an' say That luck has failed to come your way. But if you've done the best you could — Well, you've been doin" purtty good. "You may not wake t*<e trump o' fame. But friends may still . aspect your name. You may not rise to high command. Yet you kin lend a helpln' hand. You may not In great things excel, But you kin do your little well, And If you've done the best you could— Well, you've been doin' purty good." —Washington Star. Worth the Money (Washington Herald) , Th 6 Army and Navy Appropriation Bills cover the largest amount ever given for adequate defense, and few will say that it is not money well spent. AUGUST 26, 1916. tion. Representative Howard of Geor ?i^»e*i as * ntr °duced a. bill providing $125,000 for the purpose; and Mr. Broboff has appeared before the com mittee on accounts and made a con vincing statement about the working of his machine, and the need for it. He declares that it will speedily save its own cost in time, light and heat; that it will last a couple of centuries, literally never get out of order; and that one man without any electrical training can care tor and operate it. In the last analysis, the success of this machine in speeding up the House will depend upon the members. I can record and add a vote in thirty-four seconds, but not unless the voters are there. Of course, a vote might be taken with only one member present; but the question which remains unsettled is whether this new method will really facilitate the gathering of quorums. Mr. Howard, who introduced the bill, and other members who want to see the machine Installed, believe that it will do so. A certain time will have to be set for the taking of the vote— say five minutes—and all members who have not pressed their buttons for yea or nay and flashed a red light or a white one on the recording board will then be considered absent. It is the hope and belief of those who want the system that its speedy op eration will compel members to stay on the floor of the House if they are interested In the bill, or if they "want [Continued on Page 14] ( EDITORIAL COMMENT!

"It happened this way," said he to aJt Telegraph man yesterday: "Nina< years ago this summer my brother! and I sat talking of our orphan school] days and I said: 'Wouldn't It be a lino) thing to get some of the boys and 1 girls who attended with us together for a picnic.' Well we talked it oveiH with a few of those in town and d#i cided to have an outing In the grovaj near Tyrone. The newspapers got hold of it and instead of a little basket pic-i nic we suddenly found ourselves with 500 guests on our hands and all of them hungry. We managed to get enough together to give them all a. hearty dinner and supper and that* was the beginning of the reunions.! People come from all parts of this' and other States to attend. We are going to Pittsburgh In order to inter-; est graduates there who cannot flndi time to get far away to attend the< annual gatherings." Mr. Givler says that large num bers of the soldiers' orphan school graduates are in the army and navy. "One graduate of Chester Springs school." he said, "reported to me that in a recent visit to Texas he had found no less than 71 Chester springs boys among the Pennsylvania troops there. There are many from Scotland and other schools. That ia : carrying out the military traditions of their families pretty well, I think, and rewarding the State for ita care of the men while they were young and helpless.

I almost envy the boys and girls who enjoy its advantages now." The outbreak of typhoid fever is Keeping city health officials working full time tabulating the facts concern ing each case.

This month the mercury dur ing a cool wave dropped close to the fifties, and on Tuesday climbed to 98. The hottest day recorded offi cially was in July, 1898, when the mercury touched 101. * * * If you want to know how a baseball game is going to end, or the number of people who will attend a game at Island Park, just ask Martin O'Toole. As a forecaster he is winning many laurels. Up to yesterday, this dopester has not missed a guess. He watches the people moving over the Walnut street bridge between a certain hour. If you ask him at 2:30 how many will see the game, it is a safe bet he will not be fifty out of the way. If the game is close and a fan is anxious to know the result, he will tell you who fs going to win. The other day Harrls burg was ja, run or two back of the visiting team.

No, this is not an induce ment to buy. Just now most of the lemons sold in Harrisburg come from Italy. They have a way over there of showing their love for great artists. One firm handles what are known as the Verdi brand of lemons. In every box there is a piece of music, a composition by the famous com poser Verdi, author of La Trovatore, Alda, La Traviata, Rigoletto and other masterpieces, and a lithograph picture of the great composer. In recent shipments is a complete copy of a part for La Traviata. Each shipment of lemons, it is said, includes a differ ent selection of music. "It was the best season we ever had," declared one sporting goods dealer. "We've been sold out of bath ing suits for days. In the flrst place, because of the high price of most goods, we didn't stock up quite as heavily as usual, and then, just as luck would have it, along came the biggest demand we've ever known for all sorts of recreation fittings. Who ever would have thought that 7,000 people would be using the river basin of a Sundav afternoon when possibly 500 was a big crowd last summer. Naturally those 7,000 bathers just had to wear suits, and we had to go scouting hither and thither to get the goods to fill the in creased demand. The same thing was true of tennis and golf. Hundreds more people are playing these two games than ever before and we have had to turn people away In more than one Instance .because we couldn't fill the orders that came in."
