This district, under the new allot ment of territory by the fpderal war department, comprises twenty coun ties with a population of 1,720,000. With Harrisburg as the hub Cap tain W. F. Harrell and Lieutenant R. W. Lesher are drawing on scores of cities and towns for recruits. From bh, • • ~.. - . '-H * >' r. ? ; ■ . -■—-,- TUESDAY EVENING, ' gXRRISBURG rfSjflg TELEGRAPH - FEBRUARY 13 1917. town and countryside the war board expects to find before January 1, 1918, 1,720 men—one to each 1,000 —who are willing to serve with the colors. With Captain Harrell and lieuten ant Lesher are twenty-two men, three sergeants, three corporals and sixteen privates of the first class. These men are divided between district work and between the substations located at Allentown, Reading, Pottsvllle, Lan caster, Chambersburg, Altoona, Johns town, Indiana and York. Real business methods are the order of the day, the only difference between the offices of the recruiting stattons and those of a corporation are that the clerks and stenographers are dressed In Uncle Sam's Batty khaki. Typewriters click and ttere is the same hum of Industry seen ii) the ordinary business office. Under the new methods injected in to the work "prospects" are roiiowed up in just the same manner In which a first class salesman follows up a prospective purchaser. Under the stimulus of a $5 fee for each recruit procured postmasters who are alive and wide awake send In the names of young men who would be apt to make good soldiers. To these men are sent personal letters and circulars. The advantages that the army can give a youth from every standpoint, the lighter and the more serious sides of soldiering are played up and the appeal to the youth's patriotism is not lost sight of. In the main the postmasters have been co-operating closely with the re cruiting officers. Numerous prospects are followed up and as a result the army gets a new recruit. Under recent acts a man can gain the benefit of martial training, see a fairly large part of the country and retired from active service at the end of a year. Whether or not the sol dier may be excused rests within the discretion of the Secretary of War. Ordinarily the soldier serves three years of the seven for which he en lists. At the end of the ♦.hird year he Is permitted to join the reserves and the likelihood that he will be called on to again serve during the four-year period of the reserves is exceedingly small. Recruits from the Harrlsburg dis trict are taken to Fort Slocum and there given a preliminary training for about a month. After that the recruit is sent to a station in the branch of the service for which he expressed a preference when enlisting. SIXTH I'KXXA. OX ROAD El paso. Texas, Feb. 13. The last train carrying the Sixth Pennsylvania infantry left here late last night for Philadelphia where the regiment will be mustered out of tne Federal ser vice. TWO KNOWN DEATHS IN FIRE Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 13. l nvestigation Into the cause of the Ken wood Hotel fire yesterday was begun to-day by Robert W. Hargadine, State ttre marshal. The known dead totaled two when search for bodies of nearly a doien persons believed to have lost their lives, was resumed this morn ing. Belgians Will Suffer No Immediate Distress New York, Feb. 13. _ More than ten million persons who have been fed through the efforts of the Amer ican Commission for Relief in Belgium will suffer no immediate hardships from the withdrawal of the American commission from participation in this work in Belgium and Northern France caused by the German authorities. Upon his return from Boston to-day Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the commission, took up plans already under way for transferring control of this relief to another neutral oiKuiii**- tlon. Mr. Hoover said that six weeks sup ply of food valued at $26,000,000 had been stored In warehouses in the vari ous districts where the relief com mission had been active. Belgian offi cials who have been in charge of this food will be authorized to administer Its distribution until plans for the re organization of the work can be put into effect. SURVEY RESULTS PUT UP TO CITY COUNCIL [Continued From First l'age] by the Civic Committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, declared that all records of complaints received by tho department are incomplete. Tho need of concise accounts of all complaints, arrests, disposition of cases, and other similar information was pointed out by the following statement: "The crime conditions of a com munity are disclosed in the records of complaints. The success or failure of the department officials in the in vestiatlon of these complaints is dis closed by tho action taken and the results obtained. Therefore it will be seen that the records of complaints and the action taken upon them con stitute the most vital record of a po lice service, and consequently the most valuable aid to a wise admin istration. I-aok Information "Without uttemptin gin this brief memorandum to describe in detail the defects of the present system of records, and the insufficiency of the records of the Bureau or Police, it should be necessary only to recite at this time that the department Is prac tically without detailed information concerning the personnel, compre hensive Information concerning the causes or arrest and complete in formation such as is necessary in the management of a police service and operations and activities of the force. "That these conditions prevail may be due to many reasons, tho principals of which is of course the constant chagning in the personnel of service, due to the absence of civil service protection. Another apparent reason is the fact that there is not included in the personnel of the department at present any person with sufficient police experience to have developed a comprehensive system of records, to say nothing of the apparent ab sence of a desire to maintain detail ed information concerning police con ditions. Therefore it is recommended that there be appointed a complaint clerk, or clerk to the Chief of Po lice, whose sole and only duties shall be to maintain the records of the Bureau of Police. This clerk shall serve directly under the Chief and bo given police powers. The reason that the appointment of this clerk is urged is that he may be present dur ing the course of the survey to receive instructions and training from our representatives firsthand, and at the same time that the new records are being installed. Men Have No Training In advising the abolishing of the detective force, the system of appoint ing men o nthe force without regard ror civil service or previous train ing is again scored. "The detective force of the police service consists of one superintendent of detectives and four detectives, all of whom are selected by the Mayor and C ouncil without regard for civil ser vice or without regard for previous training, it has been the custom to appoint detectives from without the force alhough some of them pre viously had served in the police de partment. The ordinance establishing the position of superintendent of de tecitves provided that he should be re to and rp Port directly to lw ayor ' T , hus lhe detective ser \ice was organized as a separate unit. , ecd I''°r Superintendent iw- r ob ® er y, atio "s and study of the nnrt , he clty and t,le methods and procedure enforced in the Bureau arfi silffl 6 ) indicate that four detectives are sufficient to meet the needs of the there is no logical FntlnH f f j y em P'°ying a super ♦hl o fi detectives to supervise in tk .. 8 " f th ese four men.

Mayor Meals in sending the resigna tion of Superintendent Windsor to Council, included with it his personal acceptance, together with a reply which he made to Windsor. In the reply he explained that ho had de cided to abolish the position of super intendent of detectives and stated that Superintendent Windsor's knowledge of legal affairs has been a great help to the department. Council postponed action on the awarding of a policy for workmen's compensation for city employes, and also on the ordinance increasing real estate dealers' tax. Assistant City Solicitor R Bruce Taylor was authorized to dispose of furniture from tho City Solicitor's office which will not be needed In the new offices in the Kunkel building. A fine of $25 which was imposed by Alderman DeShong on Samuel Fish man last October was ordered re funded upon recommendation of Chief of Police Wetzel. PEANUTS REPLACE COTTON "Last year Comanche county, Texas which, until a few years ago had grown hardly any commercial crop except cotton, made more than half u million bushels of peanuts," says a writer in the current issue of Farm and Fireside. "This year there are a dozen counties west and southwest of Fort Worth that will produce from a quarter to a million bushels of pea nuts. That section hash't any special monopoly on the peanut industry for they are being grown all over Texas and Oklahoma, but not on quite such an extensive scale as in the locality mentioned. "The peanut Is a drought register, and there is hardly a summer so hot and dry that it will not make a fairly good crop. When the dry, hot days come it will wilt and look as if it was going to shrivel up, but whenever a rain comes it starts to growing and putting on nuts again. It may be planted from April until June, and Is usually hurvested In October or No vember." GIVING CORN A START IN I„IFE In the current Farm and Fireside a writer says: "Killing two crops of weeds before planting is a good way to give the corn crop a good stnrf. It isn't neces sary to be In a hurry to plant your corn. A good start is a very im portant factor in tho final yield of any crop. Corn planted early on poorly prepared ground often makes an Ir regular stand, grows slowly, is injured by weeds, and at the close of the sea son makes a light yield, while seed from the same plot planted after the ground is well warmed up grows more rapidly. Is not so easily choked back by weeds, and makes a larger yield."

How to Break Up A Bad Cough People whose winter colds still on" developing into a settled cough th:i.. nothing seems to shake off, can often find complete relief by taking a little Oxidaze four or five times daily. This treatment ought to effectively break up even a most persistent cough and many a serious case of lung trouble can eas ily bo prevented in this way. Oxidaze is a pleasant, powerful com bination of antiseptic healing agents that, mingling with the saliva, reach and heal every inch of the sore, in flamed membrane. As a treatment for Bronchial Asthma and the various af fections of the throat and lungs it has met with widespread success and many remarkable recoveries are credited to its use. George A. Gorgas and leading druggists everywhere are recommend ing Oxidaze under a guarantee of money back If not satisfactory.—Advertise ment.
