PROMINENT GIVE MILITARY TRAINING DR. CHARLES B. FAGER, JR., WRITES: In reply to your letter relative to universal military training. It is my opinion that the only kind of military training that would a result in adequate preparedness and at the same time be fair to all Americans, would necessarily have to be universal. I further have sufficient con fidence in the General Start to take it for granted that they are the ones who are best able, be cause of their training and ex perience. to determine the details of any plan of universal military training.

A FIREMAN'S SUIT OF WATER The Cincinnati fire department has been testing a new safety dress for firemen. The man who wears it can stand right in the midst of flames. He need not fear the glowing embers around his feet. He can walk into a lire and it will dwindle away and go out around him, says the Populai Science Monthly. The dress is made of fireproof can vas of two thicknesses between which water flows constantly. The water en ters by means of a perforated brass tube which encircles the neck between the two thicknesses of canvas and flows down between the layers through the arms and legs, finding exits at the finger tips and around the soles of the feet. Water flowing only between the two thicknesses of canvas would not offer complete protection to the wear er. To keep him cool and comfort able while stading In the hottest fire, two brass perforated tubes encircle the hemlet and give him a constant shower-bath from the outside as well as within the folds of the uniform. This not only keeps him from be coming over-heated but also extin guishes the fire around him. f HAIR COMM OUT? j Dandruff causes a feverish Irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dan druff, get a 25-cent bottle of Danderlne at any drug store, pour a little In your hand and rub it into the scalp. After a few applications the hair stops com ing out and you can't find any dan druff. —Adv.

SA\S: Just as I believe that a per manent transcontinental highway system and an adequate army and navy are essential in our plans for preparedness, so do I believe in universal military training:. As to the merits of the six months" training plan as proposed in the Chamberlain bill, or the eleven-month plan of the Gen eral Staff. 1 am not prepared to make a Stat men t, preferring to leave that to persons who have made a study of the subject. 'St. Mary's to Celebrate Founding, Elehorately Elaborate preparations are under way for celebrating the 75th annlver i sary of the founding of St. Marys. I Pa., which event will take place next 1 August. The affair will be known as the i Diamond Jubilee, and will open Au gust 6 and continue until the night I of August 11. j The committee, in whose hands the I carrying out of the plans has been ' placed, consists of the pick of_ the ! city's business men. Hon. W. G. Bauer, the Mayor of St. Marys, is president: Charles P. Harvey, vice president: Albert G. Brehm, secretary, and E. G. Beck, treasurer. At a public meeting held a few nights ago and attended by a large ! number of representative citizens the ! project, after being fully explained I and discussed, was voted upon and 1 carried unanimously. Already a large j amount of money has been subscribed ! to meet the expenses of this vast un- I dertaking, and additional subscrip : tlons are coming in daily, showing i how fully the idea meets with the ap | proval of the citizens of that city. St. Marys was founded in 1842 by a party of German colonists, the un : dertaking being financed by a re i liglous society, and has since forged : ahead on the crest of the general de [ velopment of the country. It has ever ! enjoyed a reputation for hospitality, i and is known in a wide radius as a i city in which to have a geod time, i Extraordinary efforts will be made to : elaborate this reputation while the j Diamond Jubilee is in progress and ! those who will visit St. iiarys during j this period of jollification will be con- I vinced of the community's hospital ity and ability for providing a good {time for all. i SDN GLASSES FOR BASEBALL MUFFERS If they live up to the claims of their 1 inventor, who is none other than Fred j Clarke, veteran Pirate manager, sun ; glasses will enable baseball players to ! catch flies in the face of the strongest ; sun. The glasses, illustrated in the Popular Science Monthly, are rivet ed to the peak of the cap and work | on a hinge. When not needed to shield ; the eyes, they rest against the cap. j When a ball is hit the fielder simply | touches the rim of the glasses and ' they fall down In front of the eyes in ! just the proper position so that he has a chance to see the approaching | ball even though he is lokktng directly lat the sun. The glasses can not fall I off, and they can be shifted out of the j way with the quickest kind of a move | ment when not wanted—two advan | tages which make them far superior to the old style of "specks." TRAFFIC RULES POSTED Duncannon. Pa., March 23.—Coun cilmen have caused to be posted quite an exhaustive set of rules governing traffic within the borough limits. In the future all automobiles must keep to the right in every instance, es pecially in the town square. Parking i will not be allowed in several parts of ' the town. FAITHFUL DOBBINS COUNTRY BEING REPLA CED BY MOTORIZED APPARATSU How the faithful Dobbins of the many lire departments in tiio United States and Canada arfe being replaced rapidly by motorized apparatus is shown in a census made by the Fire man's Herald, of New York. Replies to inquiries were received from al most 900 cities with populations of 5,000 and over. A summary of the statistics follows: For the fourth successive year Fire man's Herald has tahen a census of the tire apparatus and hoso in service and reserve in American and Canadian tire departments, also of the possible purchases during 1917. This year's enumeration includes the cities of 5.- 000 population and over. Of these cities the fire chiefs of 890 have re sponded to requests for information. In last year's enumeration the statis tics for 670 cities were presented, so that this year an increase of prac tically one-third in the number of cities has been obtained. The rapid elimination of the horse drawn apparatus from the service is strikingly shown by a comparison be tween this year's census and that of 1914. In that year 315 cities were represented, with 7.059 fire vehicles pulled by Dobbin. This year nearly three times that number of depart ments, including the original 315, are entered, and yet the number of horse drawn pieces of apparatus in service and reserve is less by 1,725. The tabulation for this year shows that in these 890 cities there are 9,- 675 pieces of apparatus of all sorts in service and reserve. Horses Lead Slightly The total for horse-drawn equip ment is 5,334, while there are 4,341 automobiles. A heavy deduction must be made from the horse-drawn ve hicles to provide for tiie large number that are nominally held in reserve, but are in reality carried on fire depart ment books because it is not easy to find purchasers at fair prices. Of the horse-drawn pieces, steam fire engines continue to be far ahead of all others, numbering 1.5 75, which total includes a considerable number that will in all likelihood never again work at a fire. Combination wagons number 1.246: aerial trucks, service trucks and water towers total 883, and there are 1,630 other horse-drawn pieces. RIVER VIEW STATION DECREE FROM SERVICE COMMISSION' The Public Service Commision in an opinion by Commissioner Alcorn to day dismissed the complaint of H. A. and Samuel H. Free against the aban donment by the Northern Central Railroad of the flag station at Middle town Ferry. The station has been in existence from the days when the Northern Central began operations seventy years ago, and was at the Don't Blame "Spring Fever" For That "Down-and-Out" Feeling Your blood needs a thorough cleans ing just now. AB Spring approaches, the Impuri ties that have been accumulating in the system throughout the winter be gin to clog up the circulation, caus ing a general weakness and debili tated condition that Is generally known as "Spring fever." The first symptoms are usually a loss of appetite, followed by a grad ually lessening of energy, the system becomes weaker day by day, until you feel yourself on the verge of a breakdown. Children just at this sea son are peevish and irritable, and become puny and lifeless. This whole condition is but the re sult of impurities in the blood that have been accumulating and make i As has been the case with the pre- | vlous tabulations made by Fireman's] Herald, the serviceable combination chemical and hose car again leads the motor appartus with a total of 1,332. What appeared to be hesitation in adopting the triple combination purup, chemical engine and hose car Is, per haps. diminishing, as there are 458 of these registered us against 370 straight automobile pumping engines and combination pumps and hose car riers. Ladder trucks and water tow ers number 406, tractorlzed pieces 620, and all other fire automobiles, most of them chiefs' cars, total 1,- 155. Many Autos to lie Purchased The fate that has befallen horse drawn apparatus in the firo service Is again shown by this year's census of possible purchases, of the automo biles. 1,045 are listed, while of the horse-drawn the total stands at 18. of which 8 are listed from Canadian cities. When it is considered that for obvious reasons the enumeration of possible purchases is not .and can not be anywhere near complete so far as motor appartus is concerned, while the departments that are condemned to horsed vehicles are not likely to in crease their purchases, it is plain that in a year or two future purchases will not mention the horse at all. Of the additions to be made this year, chemical and horse cars are again to the fore with 245. Pumping engines and combination pumpers and hose carriers show a growing strength with a total qf 202, triple combina tions, 147: hoso cars. 36; chemicals, 23: aerial and service trucks and water towers, 156; tractors, 150; other automobiles, 86. At present in the Harrisburg fire department there are seven motorized pieces; two steamers, four chemical and hose wagons and one aerial lad der truck. All other apparatus is horse-drawn, but contracts are being awarded to motorize this equipment as follows: Two triple pumping en gines, chemical and hose cars, four tractorlzed steam engines, two service trucks and six new chemical and hose wagons. landing place of a ferry dating from colonial times. The complaint was that the removal of the ferry caused property to depreciate, but the railroad averred that the station located at Riverview, six-tenths of a mile from the old station, answered all purposes, being more convenient and safer. The opinion says that the testimony show ed that there was a decided curve at Middletown ferry station and that it is impossible to see signals until within car distance of the station. themselves felt more distinctly with the change of seasons. They show that nature needs assistance in giv ing the system a general houseclean ing. Everybody just now needs a few bottles of S. S. S., the great vege table blood remedy, to purify their blood and cleanse it of impurities. It is good for the children, for it gives them new strength and puts their system in condition so they can more easily resist the many ailments so prevalent in summer. S. S. S. is without an equal as a general tonic and system builder. It improves the appetite and gives new strength anJ vitality to both old and young.

THE SHOTGUN CAMERA This gun-camera resembles out wardly the familiar "pumpgun" or Re peating shotgun, with the stock, grip, trigger and slido-handlo for the left hand. A small camera of the roll film sort is mounted in the large muzzle, explains the Popular Science Monthly. Pressure on the trigger squeezes a bulb lying below It, which, through tubing running to the shutter of the camera in the muzzle, trips It and makes the exposure. The action slide handle under the left hand Is arranged to turn a new strip of film Into position for each ex posure, and so permits the operator of the gun-camera to take pictures' as rapidly as he would fire a regular gun of the powder and "bang" sort. Reg ular sights, front and rear, are mounted on the gun to direct it accu rately.

HOW SUBMARINES GOT NAMES Everyone knows wlmt submarines arc and what an important factor they have become in modern naval warfare. Their nomenclature is rather interest ing, according to the Popular Science Monthly. In the United States Navy tho first of these crafts were named for various Kinds of flsh and reptiles and we had such odd cognomens as Adder, Moccasin, Pike, Sturgeon, Shark, Carp, Haddock, etc., on tho naval lists. Before this list of pisca torial names ran out tho system was changed and designations of A-l, A-2, B-l, B-2, etc., down to the more re cent submarine authorized in 1918, known as tho O class. In general the numbers applied correspond to the particular lot in which they were con structed and the letters closely folios* the number of years since they wer< tirst built. In Germany they are all known as U-boats, tho U being th< first letter of untersecboot, meanin) submarine. FIGHTING IN THE DARK Twelve hours do not make a work, ing day on the lighting fronts.
