IN SCHOOL TODAY
Colonial Dames Hear Essays
Receiving Honorable Men
tion in State Contest
This was a gala day at the Camp
Curtin school building, for this af
ternoon special exercises were held
in Miss Baker's room by the Dauphin
county committe, Colonial Dames of
America, and two children of the
school, Esther Stence and William
Stinson, received honors.
Every year schools throughout
Pennsylvania are invited to write
essays on a given historical subject by
the State Society of Colonial Dames,
and three prizes are awarded, $25, sls
and $lO in gold and certificates of
honorable mention. Harrisburg has
received all these prizes twice, and this
year gets another "honorable men
tion" from the State society.
After an interesting program, in
which the school sang "Our Bright
Starry Banner," Handel's "Largo"
and the "Star Spangled Banner," and
brief addresses were made by Dr.
Frederick E. Downes, superintendent
of city schools, and Mrs. Mabel Cron
ise Jones, chairman of the Dauphin
county prize committee, Mrs. Marlin
E. Olmsted, county chairman, made a
delightful little presentation speech,
giving Esther Stence the State eertiii
cate for her fine essay on "Early
Homes of the Continental Congress,"
and with it, as a surprise, a $5 gold
piece from this chapter. William
Stinson, whose essay was unusually
good, was given a $2% gold piece
from the prize committee. These chil
dren are both 14 years old, and their
training in English and composition
by Miss Stambaugh has been thorough
as is shown by this special work.
There were many relatives of the
school pupils present to-day, as well
as the Dauphin county committee of
Colonial Dames which includes Mrs.
Marlin E. Olmsted, Mrs. Robert A.
Lamberton, Mrs. James Henry Dar
lington, Mrs. A. J. llerr, Mrs. Eliza
beth Crain Kunkel, Mrs. A. P. L. Dull,

WHAT THEY ABE FIGiJIIXG FOR
When the German Emperor tells his
people they are fighting for existence,
he is stating what he knows to be un
true. This is not, has never been, and
never will be for Germany a war of
existence. It has been from the be
ginning, and is now, in the minds of
those who rule her councils, a war
not for national existence, but for
world empire. Indeed, it may be said
that all those rights and freedoms
whose painful acquisition constitutes
the glory of the free democracies of
the West would be lost to Germany as
to the world by a German victory, but
will be .secured for Germany with the
rest of the world by German defeat.—
From Winston Spencer Churchill's
"Why Germany Must Lose," in Col
lier's.

"He sells Diamonds"
A diamond is a

The man who wears a dia
mond ring or scarfpin in
spires confidence and com
mands respect, for a dia
mond is an emblem of pros
perity and a mark of suc
cess. The man who owns a
fine diamond has in it an
asset much greater than the
market value of the stone.
Diener will be glad to show
you diamonds, whether you
intend to purchase or not.
Our stock is noted for its
