12 Asks For Donation of Cothing For Mission An appeal to the generosity of the people of Harrisburg has been made by John Fulton, superintendent of Bethesda Mission, 10 7% South Second •treet, in his effort to provide cloth ing for the men who are quartered at the mission's lodging house. Shoes and underclothes are the most badly needed articles. The de mand for clothing has been heavy re cently owing to the large number of men who have applied to the mission for aid. Superintendent Fulton places every jobless man who comes to the mission, and the deserving ones who are in immediate need of shoes and clothing are fitted out. The mission looks after these men, keeping a close supervision over them until they "make good." q Germans Stop All Industry in Belgium By Associated Press Amsterdam, March 9, via London.— The German authorities, according to the Telegraaf, have virtually stopped all industry in Belgium.

I Name j Street 1 City ' Face the Facts, Start Today to Think and Save. It is high time we Americans are facing the serious problems "that con front each one of us. It matters not whether your wages are $lO a week or SIOOO a week. Though our beloved country is not at war with arms, the fact is we are paying the war bills— and so long as that war lasts the price of butter you eat and bread you spread it on, the clothes you wear to keep you warm and shoes to protect your feet are going to be high in price, and the longer it lasts the higher every thing you eat and wear will go. So the only one thing is left for us to do is to do just what they in Europe have been compelled to do, is to cut out extravagance in eating and in dress. It can't' last long, people starving in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago and we in Harrisburg living on top of the pile. It will sooner or later reach to our doors In Harrisburg. The tremendous wastes all over the I ■world, the extravagances of our Am- j erican habit of living on seemingly | war prosperity is bound to cause! scarcity and higher prices.

To-day we are selling one-half our shoes for less than it costs to make them, yet we will not advance a price until our stock of over 200,000 pairs are sold and we are compelled to go into the open market and pay more than we are selling the same shoes for to-day.

MEN ARE BETTER MANNERED FOLK That Is, One of the Species Says So in Letter to Beatrice Fairfax By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. A correspondent who signs himself "A mere man," writes me a letter [which is wDrth careful thought. "Why is it that most working girls are so ill-mannered? 1 user to think that women were better-mannered than men, but 1 And by experience that such is not the case. The average working girl in stores, etc., is im [ pertinent and feels insulted if you ask her to attend to your wants, pash iers will throw down your change in a i perfunctory and almost insulting man ner. Shop girls will listen to your in quiries with bored expressions or with an attitude that seems to indicate that they consider themselves imposed up on by your presence. "The refined well-mannered young lady who used to be so prevalent some years ago seems to have disap peared. What's the explanation?" Is this true girls? Or is there even a modicum of truth in it? Don't toss your heads and angrily deny, for 1 am sure the excited man who wrote so emphatically must have had several unpleasant experiences before he de cided to go on record as a critic of feminine manners. I know quite well how tired you get standing on your feet practically all day long and trying to figure out the wants of people who can't or won't make up their minds. I know how hard you work and how little kindness comes to you across the counter. But you owe something to. yourselves and to the tine chivalry of womanhood. It dcesn't take a bit more time or energy to smile and speak in a pleasant voice than it does to scowl and grumble. In fact, when you slam things down on the counter you are wasting nerve force and en ergy. Every once in a while I find myself compelled to quote the old German proverb, which translates itself: "As one shouts .into the forest, so the echo returns." To say "please," "thank you" and other little pass words of courtesy, is almost habitual with most of us; to make the tone match the word is easy; and to tit your whole frame of mind and atti tude into friendly communication is well worth your while. In a certain large shop there stands behind what New England calls the "small wares counter" (and most of the rest of the country terms tlie "no tion counter"), an elderly and very unattractive looking woman who gets S2O a week for a position which gen erally pays about SS. Women actually stand in line waiting for this pleas ant, self-respecting and angular New England spinster to give her interest ed, if dignified, attention to their needs. She matches silk with as much zest as if they were going to sew her own tine seams. With quiet authority, she discusses whether you ought to wear a "cap" or a "fringe" hair net and the advisability of buying bronze instead of black hairpins. That almost homely middle-aged woman started life with the handicap of ugliness, with no brilliant intelli gence. and without robust health. She brought courtesy, interest, kindness and dignified friendliness to a simple task. It has paid her well for her sal ary is a splendid one and she has faithful customers who greet her at Christmas and Easter with gold pieces which she has fully earned. "The voice with a smile wins," and the manner with the scowl loses. The world responds to friendliness. Now, girls, are you foolish enough to bo rude and impatient either in work or when you play? My experi ence with the shop girl is almost in variably pleasant. Although the girls who wait on me do not know who I am. I know that'l am their "Big Sis ter," and I offer them a big sisterly friendliness to which they seldom fail to respond. Mr. Mere Man. are you sure you are courteous and kind, or do you go into shops with an irritable air which fairly drives the tired girl who waits on you to show all that is least ami able and least desirable in her nature? Who is to blame? I should be glad to hear from some of my girls on this subject. ST.

COUNT ZEPPELIN, AIRSHIP PIONEER, DIES IN GERMANY Inventor of Great Dirigible Made His First flight in United States Berlin, March 9.—Count Ferdinand Zeppelin, builder of the world's first practical dirigible balloon, died yester day at Charlottenburg, near here, of pneumonia. He was 79 years old. Count Zeppelin became famous at "0 as builder of the first practical diri gible balloon. On his 75th birthday he navigated his twentieth airship to cele brate the occasion. But before he had achieved fame he had devoted a half century of his life, exhausted his per sonal fortune of $750,000 and sacri ficed a brilliant career as a German cavalry leader, in conquering the air. Emperor William, in 1914, pro claimed Count Zeppelin to be "the greatest German of the twentieth cen tury." As a token of appreciation he conferred upon him the exalted Order of the Black Eagle, the highest honor in the Emperor's power. Flew First in United States It was in the United States that Count Zeppelin made his first balloon ascension. It occurred while he was following General Carl Schurz in the Civil War as a military observer for the German army. A captive balloon in use for military observations * by Union troops greatly interested the young German officer, and he was taken up in it in 1563. A generation before Kitty Hawk and the Wright brothers, the plodding zealot, deaf to scoffers, was convinced that he was on the right track. Ten years after his retirement from army, in 1890, he saw the first fruits of his labors. Already his shops at Frieder ichshafen had assumed vast propor tions, and his private fortune, con siderable in amount, had wellnigh been exhausted. Thirty-Mile Flight On Sunday, July 1, 1900, his first aerial leviathan was hauled from its shed on the shore of Lake Constance and made a successful trip of more than thirty miles. It was not until eight years later, however, that the possibilities of his enterprise began to dawn on Germany. In 1908 he made many trips, one of them involving a stay of thirty-seven hours in the air. After that Zeppelin built many airships. Many of them came to tragic ends in gales or flames, but the inventor continued, and ob tained the support of the government. Within four years there were dis turbing rumors of giant aircraft that soared over France and even England. Count Zeppelin began to talk with con fidence of his transatlantic trip, and a vast dirigible was built for polar ex ploration. Then came the war, and the raids on England. There were reports— never warranted by statements from the inventor—that he had become a fanatic on the invasion of England by air. Shippensburg Carriage Works Damaged by Fire Shippensburg, Pa., March 9.—Fire yesterday morning wrecked the big carriage factory of Thrush and Stough, with a loss of more than $25,000.
