All Feather Turbans the Delight of
Women Who Wear Small Hats
This class of millinery is promised a special vogue, for there are women aplenty
who prefer the smart, close-fitting turban to any other style.
These chic turbans are covered with tiny feathers disposed as if
growing upon a bird's breast and in varying hues, iridescent or in
grey, white, dark bronze greens and blues. One style has a white
scarf of feathers which cleverly imitates ermine even to the black-tip
ped tails. All these turbans need to finish is an easily adjusted lining.
Plumage shown includes guinea, merle and white feathers.

MONDAY EVENING.
United States Senators and a State
Legislature will be chosen.
1 The State officers are now Demo
cratic and that party has one United
States Senator and one of the four
Congressman.
In 1914 the Progressives cast 18,-
226 votes for Governor. How their
vote would split to-day was a matter
of dispute.
Both sides claim they will receive
sufficient Progressive support to carry
the election.
The polls opened at 6 o'clock and
must close not later than 5 p. m. Many
returns will be slow as some twenty
towns and plantations are without
telegraph or telephone communica
tion with the outside. However, the
result should be indicated before mid
night.
The Republicans claim everything,
with pluralities approximating 15,000.
The Democrats claim pluralities of
3,000. They admit the outcome in the
Third and Fourth Congressional dis
| tricts is in doubt.

HAJR RISBU72.G SsSSfe- TELEGRAPH
NEWS OF STEELTON
COUNCIL TO ACT
ON BIG PROBLEMS
West Side Sewer, Railroad
Crossing and Bond Issue
Ordinance on Schedule
Borough council will meet this even
ing with one of the heaviest schedules
in months.
Among the important ordinances to
come up for action will be the measure
granting the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company the right to establish three
additional grade crossings in the West
Side in building its proposed freight
spur into the Bethlehem steel plant
and the companion measure which
provides for a new sewer system to
drain the upper end and West Side of
the borough at the joint expense of the
borough, steel company and railroad.
Just what action Will be taken on
these measures, councllmen wouldn't
predict to-day.
Another important question to settle
this evening is the dispute between
council and the United States Wood
Block Preserving Company over the
paving of Front street. It is under
stood that the company has acquiesced
in the borough's demands and will re
pair the street. Should this be done
without a lawsuit, it would be a big
victory for borough council. The pav
ing company has repeatedly refused to
live up to the terms of its guarantee
and repave the damaged portions of
the street. Council several months ago
retained Nelson P. Lewis, of New
York city, a leading civil engineer, to
handle the borough's interests.
It is likely that council will complete
the necessary red tape to-night to per
mit early issuance of the $75,000 bond
issue for street paving and purchase
of motor fire apparatus.
TO ESTABLISH GLOVE FACTORY
An offer to establish a glove factory
employing twenty-five girls and four
men was made before Highsplre's
borough council Friday evening by W.
J. Rank, of Middletown. The propo
sition will be put before the town's
leading citizens at a meeting to-mor
row evening. Contract for erection of
a new bridge over Bird's run at Penn
street was awarded to Joseph Risser,
of Ellzabethtown.
MOTORCYCLIST INJURED
When he collided with a wagon
driven by Lawrence Eckles, North
Front street butcher, the driver of
motorcycle bearing a Michigan license,
No. 632, was spilled and slightly in
jured. The accident occurred at Front
and Lincoln streets early this morn
ing.
THREE CHILDREN DIE
Three small children died yesterday
within a few hours. They were Anton
Yashezlc, 516 South Third street, aged
1 year; Adam Zovic, 258 Main street,
aged 8 months, and Elsie Huslc, 256
Frederick street, aged 11 months.
NAVY TO BEGIN
BOOSTING RIVER
[Continued From First Page]
of your own relative to what should be
done- for the future permanent im
provement and development of the
basin of the Susquehanna, call around
to-night at 8 o'clock at the big meet
ing to be held at the Dintaman boat
pavilion and 'offer them at the meeting
of the Greater Harrisburg Navy.
With the first annual Kipona, the
biggest river celebration of the kind
ever held In Harrisburg, off its hands,
the Navy has already planned to go in
for the permanent improvement pro
gram and the initial steps will be
taken this evening, it is understood,
to frame up the necessarv legislation
for presentation to City Council.
The compiling of necessary data for
solving the bathhouse and bathing
beach problems, the construction of a
municipal boat house or houses, the
blasting and buoying of channels and
the other important features of river
development will be discussed at to
night's meeting.
The first definite step toward pro
curing bathing beach and bathhouse
facilities at least will be taken to-night,
it is expected, and it is probable that
the necessary subcommittees to work
with the permanent development com-1
mittee will be named.
Stiff Necks Due;
Steeplejack Will
Repair Church Spire
That some stiff necks are due in
Harrisburg for the next few days is
certain.
Beginning at 9 o'clock to-morrow
morning John F. Hassler, "Steeple
jack" Hassler of Philadelphia, is go
ing to begin some repairs at the pin
nacle of the steeple of Market Square
Presbyterian church.
For the last few weeks those who
passed to and fro in Market Square
and watched the splendid scaffolding
rising steadily toward the point of the
steeple have wondered whether a
"steeplejack" was going to get busy.
Announcement was made this morn
ing that Mr. Hassler is coming to
morrow.
Furthermore the steeplejack isn't
going to get to the high places via
anything so prosaic as a mere scaf
folding—he'll swing from the light
ning rod via a "bos'n's chair" as it
is called—the little harness that looks
for all the world like a child's board
swing.
So, when you spy the town tease
gazing skyward to-morrow from some
place in the Square you can openly
look up without fear of being kidded.

QUEBEC BRIDGE
FALLS IN RIVER
[Continued From First Page]
eluding members of Parliament and
newspapermen gathered on vessels
furnished by the Canadian govern
ment. Members of the Dominion
cabinet witnessed the collapse from
the deck of a government vessel, while
American tourists crowded hundreds
of other boats of all classes. Eminent
American authorities on bridge build
ing and members of the Australian
parliament returning home after visit
ing in Europe also were at the scene
and river traffic for ocean-going
steamships had been temporarily sus
pended.
The project interrupted to-day origi
nated in 1853, when at the request
of the Quebec City Council a New
York engineer submitted plans and
estimates. Courage and capital were
lacking, however, and it was not until
1882 that the scheme again was given
serious consideration.
Later Canadian engineers obtained a
charter and after many years of delay
the building was begun, only to termi
nate in the collapse of the unfinished
structure in 1907.
Canada's federal railway department
then decided to reconstruct it and
placed the undertaking in the hands of
a commission which Included several
noted American bridge builders.
The plans for the bridge provide for
a channel span longer than that of any
existing to-day anywhere. Its con
templated length from shore to shore
.was 3,239 feet, with a distance of
1,800 feet between anchor buttresses.
Provision was made for two railroad
tracks, two street car tracks and two
roads. It was to be used by the fol
lowing railroads Canadian Pacific,
Grand Trunk. Quebec Central, Inter
colonial, Quebec and Lake St. John.
Quebec and Sanguenay, Canadian

who heard to-day of the second col
lapse of the Quebec bridge across the
St. Lawrence river recalled many inci
dents surrounding the fall of the first
bridge, August 29, 1907.
Most of the iron which went, into
the former structure was rolled at Har
risburg mills and a Dauphin county
man was in charge of construction
work. Several bridge workers known
to Harrisburg and Dauphin men were
among the seventy men killed.
The first attempt to bridge the
St. Lawrence was watched by engi
neers throughout the world as the
greatest feat ever attempted. Nowhere
was the project watched with more
interest than in this city.
Down at the Central iron and steel
plant the mills were busy turning out
the steel which was to make the big
spans. More than $5,000,000 worth of
steel was required and much of this
was rolled in the local mills. Careful
inspectors were constantly watching
every process and the slightest defect
caused rejection of whole heats of
material.
The local mills turned out the ma
terial under a subcontract with the
Phoenix Bridge Comnany, Phoenix
ville, Pa. The estimated cost of the
first project was $10,000,000.
In charge of all construction work
at Quebec on the first bridge was
Superintendent A. B. Millegan, a Dau
phin man. Mr. Millegan is well known
at Dauphin, but does not now make
his home there. He is the son of
Squire Henry Millegan, known to all
old residents of the upper end of the
county. The squire has been dead
these twenty years.
Mr. Millegan escaped injury in the
first crash, although many of his fel
low-engineers were killed. At the time
of the accident he was on his way
from Phoenixville to Quebec after re
porting at his office.
In describing the former collapse
Mr. Millegan told friends that, the
main column weakened, toppling the
entire structure into the river. More
than 300 workmen were on the struc
ture when it fell. Ninety of them were
killed.
THREE BOYS INJURED BY FALL
York, Pa., Sept. 11.—Falling three
stories from a balcony when the rail
ing gave way, one boy was fatally in
jured and two others seriously hurt
last evening, Roger Ackworth, eight
years old, is dying of a fractured skull.
Erritt Duse, eleven years old, suffered
a broken leg and numerous bruises,
while Charles Rhodes is suffering from
internal injuries. The boys were play
fully wrestling at the time of the ac
cident and pushed against the railing.
TONEUPYOURSTOMACH
There is no tonic for the stomach that
ia not a tonic for every other part of
the body. But the stomach depends,
as does every other organ, on the blood
for its energy.
There can be no perfect digestion with
out rich, red blood. This is scientif
ically true. The way then to tone up
the stomach is to enrich the blood.
If your digestion is off and your blood
is thin there can be no question about
it. You need Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to restore the condition of your blood,
use care in the selection of your diet
and the stomach trouble will take care
of itself.
Stomach trouble is debilitating. Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic and
build up the weakened system generally.
Most stomach remedies try to digest
your food for you. How much better
it is to tone up the stomach so that it
will do its own work as nature intend
ed. There is no pleasure in eating pre
digested food. Tone up your stomach
and your appetite and digestion will
soon De normal.
A diet book will be sent free on re
quest by the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sella Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
or a box will be sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of fifty cents.
