ATHLETES ACTIVE AT HIGH SCHOOL AND HARRISBURG ACADEMY-AMUSEMENTS
ATHLETES ACTIVE
IN TRACK WORK
Not Likely That Pcnn Relay
Carnival Will Be Called Off;
Tech Probabilities
v >
Until official word is received here,
that the bite Pennsylvania Relay Race
Carnival, at Philadelphia, set for Fri
day and Saturday, April 27 and 28,
will be called oft track athletes at
Central, Tech and Steelton high
schools will continue training for this
event.
Much has been said or written about
whether the war situation will affect
the event. Pennsylvania authorities
have looked over the situation very
carefully and they are nearly n unit
in thinking that there wilL be no real
reason for not holding the carnival as
planned.
Technical and Central High schools
have sent relay teams to the Penn
carnival for many years and have al
ways made a good showing. Both
schools will be represented by strong
teams this season and expect to win
the events in which they are entered.
Coaches Working Squads Hard
Coaches Hill and Peet, of the Tech
nical High school, have had a large
squad working daily since the begin
ning of February and during the last
week outside work has been started.
The team is composed entirely of vet
erans this year and is_fast developing.
Captain Sutch, .EysTer, Demming,
Oippey are the men who will no doubt
represent Tech in the relay race and
Hahnlon will be the fifth man.
Coach Kunkle has been working his
Central High school candidates hard
for some time and expects to have a
championship team this season. The
squad has been doing gym work for
several months and since the weather
opened up has been out on the road
daily.
Twenty-Third Carnival
This will be the twenty-third relay I
race carnival held by the University
of Pennsylvania and this year it will
bring together the finest and most rep
resentative host of college athletes
ever to assemble on any field. All the
larger colleges and universities in the
United States will be repsented as will
many of the smaller ones and this
season's games promise to eclipse any
of the previous brilliant ijieets that
have made this event famous the
■world over.
The greatest interest will center, a? J
usual about the great relay champion- J
ships, in which college and high school i
teams will battle over the cinder rath
for supremacy. This year there will
be a real battle for suprefacy between
the east and west for this event.
Stars in Special Kvents
V !
The special events will bring togeth- j
er the highest class lot of athletes that
have been in competition since the last *
Olympic games in Stockholm, in 1912. j
Simpson, of Missouri, world's re or<i
holder of the high hurdles, will meet
the best in the country in this event.
Richards, of Cornell, the Olympic
high jump champion, will find worthy
foes in Treweeke, Kansas, 6 ft. 3 in.;
Fisher, Chicago. 6 ft. 2 in.; Webster. I
Illinois, 6 ft. 2 in.; Simons. Michigan.
6 ft. 2 in.; Hobbs, Dartmouth. 6 ft. 1
.in., and Thibault, Pennsylvania, 6 ft.
1 in.
The Pentathlon star will be Berry,
Pennsylvania's star football player
and all around athlete, winner of this
event in 1915 and 1916. Thomas,
Dartmouth; Fisher, Chicago; Burke,
"Wisconsin, and other all around ath
letes will force Berry to his limit this
year.

"A Miracle" Cries
Henry Schuessler

*mmm
"I regard my recovery as nothing
■hort of a miracle," exclaims Henry
G. Schuessler. an expert toolmaker,
of 99 North Seventeenth street, Har
risburg. Pa.
"I had been troubled for a long time
with constipation and rheumatic gout,
and I couldn't seem to get the slight
est relief.
"My feet would swell so that I
couldn't put on my shoes, I had almost
constant headache and my stomach
was in such a weakened state that
anything I ate caused great volumes
of gas to form that would press against
my heart, bringing on severe nervous
spells.
"I tried doctors, osteopaths, ohiro
liracties and a lot of proprietary reme
dies, but I did not get any better, ar.d
the attacks had become so severe that
I was often laid up <or two weeks at a
time.
"This had been groin? on for over a
year and a half and I Anally deter
mined to try Tanlac. Now I date my
recovery from that day. for I am now
free from all my ailments.
"My bowels arc regular, my head
aches are gone, my stomach has been
*o strengthened that it digests my food
■without trouble. But what delighta
me most is that my feet no longer
bother me. The pain and swelling
have gone and I am able to be up and
about my work. Tanlac certainly has
done wonders for me and I will never
forget It."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here by
Crorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex
• plaining the merits of this master
j medicine

KNOX DECLARES
U. S. MUST FIGHT
Pennsylvania Senator Will
Support President in the
National Ci'isis
Pittsburgh, April I.—ln a patriotic
mass meeting Saturday of 10.000 citi
zens in Exposition Music Hall, as cheer
ing shook the rafters, Pittsburgh took
its stand squarely for a declaration of
war upon the German Empire.
Senator Philander C. Knox made the
principal address and told his fellow
townsmen that the war America is go
ing into is a war between democracy
and autocracy.
Senator Knox said:
"I am well satisfied that pending the
delivery by the President to Congress
of his message of information and rec
ommendation, it is not judicious for me
to advocate any particular line of ac
tion by him in a public meeting called
to comment upon our duty as patriotic
citizens in the present international
situation.
"By no wrongful act of our own we
have been drawn to the rim of the vor
tex of uar, that with whirlpool mad
ness is wrecking the manhood, the re
sources and the civilization of mighty
nations. \
"Seemingly secure in the sanctions
that the world has so long conceded to
peaceful neutral nations, we have pur
sued our avocations, conducted our
commerce and besowed our charity with
no thought of being embroiled in the
differences of other peoples or restrain
ed in the exercise of our undoubted
neutral immunities.
"But this was a fool's paradise, from
which there has been a rude awaken
ing. Our rights upon the high seas
have been denied and defied. Our peo
ple have been wantonly murdered in
cold blood and our ships and our flag
have been ignominiously effaced from
the common highway of mankind.
"Within less than two years seven
teen American ships have been sunk on
the high seas by the torpedoes, shells,
or gunfire of German submarines. Be
sides this, many foreign ships have met
a similar fate, entailing a total loss of
225 American lives and the lives of
twenty-four children born of foreign
parents on American soil.
"These facts, as I have said, place
us to-day upon the rim of the vortex
of war and we await with breathless
expectancy the nation's decision.
Whether we are to prosecute a merely
de facto war of defense such as was
employed against the French spoliators
of our commerce in the early part of
the last century; whether we shall seek
to punish the aggressor and if so
whether by an independent war or in
full alliance with the enemies of Ger
many; whether the means we employ
shall be men and women or money or
ships or all combined; whatever the
precise measures may be of offense or
defense that will soon be adopted, there
is one thing about which there can be
no doubt, we should speedily prepare,
and the measure of that preparedness
should be gauged by the maximum pos
sibilities of the situation.
"Believing, as I do. that the Presi
dent's recommendation to the Congress
will be that it should declare that the
acts of Germany In attacking American
ships and destroying American lives
are acts of war. iti consequence of
which we should either assume the de
fensive attitude of armed neutrality, or
that they constitute such a grave of
fense against our rights that It de
mands a war of aggression to redress
the wrongs we have sustained, I intend
to support him In either choice, but
with the certainty that if he presently
recommends the former that the latter
must inevitably follow, and that our
instant duty is to prepare for the larg
er event." *

AMUSEMENTS
"BLUE PARADISE"
LACKED VOICES
An Otherwise Good Production
Spoiled by Lack of Singers
Notably in Cast
"The Blue Paradise," an operetta in
a prologue and two acts Uy Edgar
Smith, was the bill at the Orpheum
Saturday, matinee and evening. The
play had a pretty little plot, more in
tense than the average plot which com
prises the make-up of a musical com
edy, and withal a welome relief from
the impossible, hurriedly concluded
plot with which most shows of the
type arc drawn in whirlwind fashion
to a close. And "The Blue Paradise"
had music, strains of rare beauty and
order, which, unfortunately, in manv
instances, were almost lost through
the inadequacy of singers with good
voices. Noticeably was the lack of
voice felt in the cast of principals, for
in spots the chorus showed that it
could rise to the occasion and really do
good work. But, with a few instances
the music received but poor consldera
t'on from the company. The comedy,
while not of a truly unusual nature,
was clever and well done, although at
times It was most suggestive and of
a low order. Staging and costuming
were mightily well caried out, two fea
tures which had not a little to do with
the entertainment the show provided.

THE GENTLE ART OF NAGGING
Have you ever lain awake in the
middle of the night and listened to a
dog howling hideously, with wailing
reiteration of two long-drawn notes?
Have you ever sought the quiet of
your own apartment only to have
your rest or attempt at concentration
broken up by the incessant thud of
one and the same tune on a neigh
bor's piano?
Either experience probably drove
you almost crazy.
And yet you. whoever you are, are
capable of whining out the same old
tune over and over again in the pro
cess of begging for something you
want or protesting against something
you don't want! The nagger is as
pleasant to listen to as the whining
of an E string when an amateur prac
tices on the violin.
The other day I was riding down
in a car and my next door neighbor
was a girl who wanted a new suit
which her mother didn't seem to
think she could afford. The girl was
whining out her complaints against
people who were stingy, and didn't
understand anything about a girl's
feelings! Of course, I might have
changed my seat, but the mother had
no way of changing her daughter!
She kept up a weary, creaking, sing
song drone, and when the car wheels
squeaked, she began complaining
about the noise. Most of. her neigh
bors found the situation funny. What
she had been doing was exactly as
nerve-racking a performance as the
screech of the rail.
And 411 nagging is like that. It
gets on the nerves of the listener and
unless it Is directed to a weakling,
who will do anything to l-ave peace,
it accomplishes nothing beyond mak
ing the nagger a hideously discordant
note in life.
Next time you are tempted to harp
on a subject or nag away In your de
sire to get what you want, just re
member the creak of the rail, the
caterwauling of tabby on the back
fence, the nerv.e-racking force of the
steam drill when building is going
on next door and don't add your un
pleasant and popularity-destroying
bit to the discord of life.

TIMELY HINTS FOR THE HOME GARDENER
Soil Tips to the Home Gardener
Washington, D. C.i March 00. Prac
tically all truck crops do better on a
sandy loam soil than on one that is
sticky and heavy. L,arger-sized crops,
however, such as cabbage, tomatoes,
beans, and peas, will do well on heavy
soil provided it contains the necessary
vegetable matter.
The soil in most backyard gardens
is distinctly heavy. It will help the
soil greatly if the owner works into it
a good amount of finely sifted coal
ashes free from all cinders. Coal ashes
are used largely for the physical ef
fect in breaking up a compact, heavy
soil. Such ashes do not take the place
of fertilizer.
Plentiful use. of well-rotted manure
is still more beneficial in breaking up
heavy soil .because this improves the
texture and adds fertilizing material.
Many garden soils are sour. To offset
acidity and also to improve the physical
properties of the soil the garden spec
ialists. recommend the use of lime.
Burnt lime should be applied at the
rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre or slak
ed lime at the rate of about 1,500
pounds per acre. A garden plot 50 by
100 feet is approximately one-ninth of
an acre.
To apply the lime, broadcast it and
mix it freely with the surface soil by
harrowing or raking. Lime should be
applied before the crops arc set out or
planted and should not be applied at
the same time that fertilizer or manure
is put on.
Manure will greatly improve land.

Sunlight XfPOnry For a Garden
No amount of fertilizer, watering,
and cultivation will make up for the
absence of sunlight in a garden. Home
gardeners before attempting for the
first time to use a backyard other space
should consider carefully how many
hours a day any part of the yard is in
shadow from buildings, fences, or trees.
At leas five hours of sunlight a day is
necessary for a successful garden. The
more sunlight they get the better it is
for most vegetables. For this reason
it is bad practice to put plants of low
habit between tall-growing plants
which will shade them for the greater
part of the day. As a rule, foilago
crops such as lettuce, spinach and kale
do fairly well in partial shade, but even
these must have sunshino two or three
hours a da_y. In laying out the gar
den. therefore, use shadier parts for
such plants and reserve the sunny
spaces for those whfeh must have
plenty of sunlight to grow and fruit
properly.
