Its iron mills in full operation day [ J
and night: Its novelty works flooded
with orders; its smaller factories busy 1
and its bank deposits larger than tliey
have ever been bofore, Duncannon is.
enjoying a period of business activity ;
unequaled for many years.
The Duncannon Iron Mills, the
borough's oldest industry, which but|
recently passed Into the hands of the
Lebanon Iron & Steel Co.. is exper
iencing an activity that is unusual.
For many years its puddle and plato
mills had been idle and It was thought
by many old iron workers whose
homes are here that it would never
resume operations.
Business Dooms
Then came the European war with
its flood of orders for American iron
and steel mils and every plant that
could produce a bar or plate or ingot
■was quickly placed into operation.
Among these, of course, was the
local plant. With as many orders as
it can well handle most of them from
foreign lands tho big plant has been
forced to operate double shifts.
, About 450 men are now employed
in its mills and the payroll aggregates
about $30,000 every month. Just at
present the puddlers are being paid
$S a ton for iron, the highest figure
ever paid for this work.
At the Standard Novelty Works'
where a popular brand of a guiding
sled is manufactured, 4 5 men arc em
ployed. The present output is 1,000
sleds every working day. These sleds
are shipped to every State in the union
and thousands and thousands of snVhll
boys and girls are made happy every
year through the efforts of this plant.
So great has become the demand
for the sleds made in this factory that
the management has speeded up pro- '
duction by placing many of the men ]
on piece work. This change has re- .
suited in greater production and larger
earnings for the men. Officers of this £
company include William Wills, prcsi- t
dent: P. F. Duncan, secretary and s
treasurer, and C. 11. Manavel, super
lntendnt.
At the Good-Intent Shirt Factory
tixty girls are kept busy making shirts
that have a large sale throughout the
State. The monthly payroll here is
between $1,500 and $2,000.
Just across the river from Duncan
non the Pennsylvania Railroad is
building a new road through the
Dauphin narrows and many workmen |
from Duncannon have found employ
ment there. At least twenty-five local s
men are now working on this job anil
(is many more could find work but •
the demand seems to be exceeding s
the supply. J
Dwellings in Demand
Real estate men in the borough •'
comment on the scarcity of homes and ' j'
there is a brisk demand for rentable >]
dwellings that cannot be supplied. j i
Bank deposits here have grown in! a
recent months and at the last report
of the Duncannon National Bank its;
gross assets were $375,000 and its de- I
posits about $360,000. The capital 3
stock of the bank is $63,000. The offi- ; \

The reason is that Piedmonts,

In addition to its varied industries
Duncannon is surrounded by a pros
perous farming community famed for
its rich production. Many prize-win
ning exhibits at the county fairs come
from this territory.
Among the leading "farmers" here
abouts is Attorney R. F. Umberger,
a prominent member or the Dauphin
county har.
Mr. Umberger is building a fine
country home here and this summer
for awhile turned his attention to the
farm. His potato crop ts said to be a
record breaker and some of the tubers
arc of a size that rivals the famous
potatoes of the far west.

NO STATEMENT

U. S. Not Contemplating Issu

Submarine Statement
Washington, D. C., Oct. 18. The
L'nited States will not feel called upon
to make public any statement on tho
raid of the C-53 or the submarine sit
uation in general, it was learned au
thoritatively to-day, as a consequence
of the statement in parliament by Vis
count Grey, British secretary of state
for foreign uftairs. that his government
would not make any official repre
sentations to this country till such an
nouncement is made here.
This government, it was said, would
not feel itself called upon to make a
statement to the Allies about German
belligerent operations off the American
coast any more than it would to report
to Germany the recent visit of the
French cruiser Admiral*)Auho to an
American port, or other .allied op
erations on this side of the Atk* p
Duke of Orleans to Ask
Annulment of Marriage That
Has Been Curse of His Life
Paris, Oct. 18. The Duke of
Orleans is about to apply to the court
of Rome for the annulment of his
marriage to the Archduchess Marie
Dorothea of Austria, according to the
Figaro. The Duke contends that the
marriage was not concluded on the
Austrian side in accordance with all
the requirements of ecclesiastical law.
The Duchess of Orleans won a suit
for separation in January, 1914. It
was reported that she charged the
duke with neglect owing to the fact
that she was childless. At the out
break of the war the duke. In sending
back the insignia of the Golden Fleece
to the Austrian emperor, wrote that
his marriage had been the curse of
his life.

j in charge of the great park system of
l Ottawa. Mr. Stuart, with his dattgh
i ter, is the guest of Assistant Superin
| tendent of Parks V. Grant Forrer and.
j made a trip over the park system to
: day. After a walk along the River
| Front in company with a Telegraph
; reporter, Mr. Stuart gave it as his
j opinion that the city should concen
trate its energies on the River Front.
"No city in the country has anything
like it," he repeated. "It Is the nat
ural and logical resort for the great
bulk of your population because it ts
within reach of them. You ought to
do just what 1 understand Mr. Man
ning and some of your own broad vis
ioned people have urged—developed
this park and do it at once. I notice
the effects of erosion. This kind of
damage will follow every front until
you riprap the bank to the danger
line—as 1 notice has been started—
and then decorate and at the same
time protect the bank above by shrub
bery." V
"Do That Jol> Well"
"I am not here to say what should
be done nor to criticise," he continued,
"but since you ask, I may say with
propriety that the city has not fully
grasped its opportunity and in future
appropriaUons and budgets the River
Front, to my mind, should be favored

above all other projects. Do the job
that confronts you there, and do it
well, would be my advice."
Mr. Stuart has *IOO,OOO to spend on
Ottawa parks ever yyear, exclusive of
playgrounds. He says he does not see
bow Harrisburg can set along and
make any headway until the park au
thorities insist on larger allotments of
money for park purposes.
He was keenly interested in Harris
burg's form of government and shook
his head sadly when it was pointed
out to him that under the Clark act a
new set o park olficials every two
years is not onl ythe possibility but
the probability. "Park work," he said
byway of comment, "is largely a mat
ter of training and experience. It is
wrong and injurious to the taxpayers
to turn out trained men or purely poli
tical reasons. No man conducts his
private business in that way."
Mr. Stuart is one of the noted park
authorities of the country and goes
from here to Baltimore to be the guest
of the park superintendent of that
city.

Berlin has reported the capture of
some heights, but Petrograd claims
the repulse of all the Teutonic at
tacks.

battle apparently has changed along
the Transylvania border. Berlin has
conceded the stiffening of the Ru
manian resistance along this front and
Bucharest advices to-dav declare that
King Ferdinand s troops are making
a successful stand and at one point
at least in the Predeal region south
of Kronstadt, are pushing General
Von Kalkenhayn's armies hack. From
the Rumanian viewpoint all the mili
tary news is reassuring, it is declared.
Russian troops in force are reported
helping the Rumanians to defend the
passes from Transylvania into their
territory.
On the Somme front German at
tacks were delivered against the
French line both north and south of
the Somme. Three assaults by the
Germans upon the French in Sal 11 y-
Saillisel are declared by Paris to have
been repulsed with heavy losses to
the Germans who also were repelled
after they had gained a footing In a
French first line trench near Berny-
En-Santerre. south of the river.
On the British front in the Somme
region progress by General Hatg's
forces between the AWert-Bapaurne
road and L.es Boeufs is reported de
spite the prevalence of rainy weather.

it is proving wonderfully successful in tases of pneumonia,

Dr. J. H. Wilson, one of the most prominent of English

practice and in the English military hospitals, writes of it:
"A large number of cases of Aculc Pneumonia and Bronchitis have

to normal icithin 24 hours, with rapid relief of symptoms."
lon-o-lex Unguent is a household necessity—it is entirely
