CENTRAL I. AND S. TO SPEND THOUSANDS [Continued From First Page] Northern Iron Company had charge of the rebuilding and is superintend ent of the department. Another fur nace of this typo which has been out of blast since 1913 could be used should the necessary repairs be made. This furnace is located beside the one just put into operation. Work on modernizing and rebuild ing the furnace was started in De cember. Splendid First Aid System A two-story building at the north ern end of the property formerly used for dwelling purposes is being remodeled. In this building an emergency hospital, employment of fice, time office, paymaster's office, police department and telephone ex change will be located. A first aid corp of thirty men has been organ ized for emergency wfork. The police force, which is composed of men who have experienced army training and ex-State policemen has recently been organized. The telephone ex change will be of the modern type. The tfrst aid corps has been given instructions in first aid work. Stretchers are located at various places through the plant within a minute's reach of any workman. Break Engineering Records Another engineering record has| been established by the works de-1 partment, that is the designing of' construction of two reinforced con-1 crete stock trestles 600 feet and 22 feet high. Many concrete trestles throughout the country are partially concrete but this is entirely concrete. / Quality GORGAS Service Drugs by Mail j The parcel post makes buy ing by mail an easy proposi tion.

The work was started about January 1 and is just being com pleted. These modern trestles replace two wooden ones twelve feet In height and are located at the blast furnaces. Work on the erection of a tem porary office building to be centrally : ] located will be started shortly. The building will be fifty-live feet square. Offices of Superintendent Robert H. I Irons, Chief Engineer G. L.. Fisk, I three mill superintendents and clerks ] will be located in this building. The former two men are now located in lan office building where the tem- I porary one will be erected, while the mill superintendents and clerks have their offices in the various mills. Of i ficials plan to erect a large brick I structure at the northern end of the I property near Dock street in the I near future. The electrical department is un i dergoing extensive improvements. A ! new substation fireproof brick ! I wilding thirty by sixty feet, central | ly located Is being erected. A new 500 K. W. rotary confcverter -will be I installed, in the new building to | getlier with the two old 300 K. W. 1 units now in the old building. This ! improvement has been made on ac | count of the increase of production j and Improvements. As a precautionary measure four I large search lights will be placed along the front of the plant facing j the river and eighty flood lights in the yards. The search lights will be placed temporary until the yard sys tem is completed. A new fifty-ton locomotive has recently been ordered. With this ad dition the company will have five broad gauge and three narrow gaug? locomotives for shifting purposes in the yards. A new 35-ton locomotive crane, the largest type used in these works has been ordered. There arc nowtwoflve -1 ton and three ten-ton cranes in | use. Most Modern Kquipmcnt Many minor additions to the equip ment of the departments are being | made. A 3,000-pound hammer is I now being erected in the blacksmith ' shop and several machine tools are ! being installed in the machine shop. A 200-ton testing machine is being placed in the testing department. A large type mill machine, forty ! eight b.v sixty feet, will replace an ler machine at the eighty-nine inch mill, and is under the course of ! construction. To Burn River Coal Installation of grates for burning I river coal in all the boiler houses was recently completed. Additional gas j producers are being installed at the i universal mill gas house to increase | the heating capacity. Efficient equipment for storage and unloading river coal will be installed I at the northern end of the plant. A hoist, buckets and tracks will make up the equipment. Recently officials decided to use river coal instead of | soft and other coals. The old nail ! works and puddle mill buildings have | been removed to afford yard space j for the coal storage. Every precautionary measure for i protecting workmen from injury and I death has been taken. Guards on all machinery liaVe been erected and a safety first committee appointed to ieportallconditions that would cause j injury or death by accident. Sanitary toilets; individual lockers | and shower baths are being installed j for the comfort of the employes. A clock time system has been or dered and will be installed on Its ar ] rival. A fence around the property which is nearly a mile long and 950 feet wide is being completed. • There are about 1,750 employes at these works. Could Employ More Men Shortage of material and freight congestion does not threaten any tie up In the big improvement program, officials say. Labor scarcity seems to be the biggest problem for the steel officials to solve. Many more men could be used, each department in the plant having a shortage. Steel For the Florida This company has also gone on record as furnishing much material | for the government which was used j in making battleships and the sub-1 marine destroyers. .Steel for the bat-1 tleship Florida was made at the local works. Large shipments of steel are being sent to Japan and different parts of the United States from this industry. Do Your Bit This plant can play a large part in this war, according to Superintend-1 ent Irons and he has placed bulletins through the plant asking each em ploye to "Do His Bit." The bulletin follows: "The President in his procla mation calls attention to the fact that while the navy is being placed on an effective war foot ing, and preparations are being made to train and equip a great army, there is still a greater task to be performed, namely, our farms, shipyards, mines, factories, mills and other in dustries must be made as ef- i fictent as possible, with increas ed production, to enable us to furnish supplies and munitions not only for ourselves but for our allies. "To accomplish this the Coun cil for National Defense is pre paring plans to keep at home skilled mechanics in the muni tion and other industries doing government work rather than waste their valuable skill and training in sending them as sol diers to the front. "At different times we have furnished plates for battleships, submarines and destroyers. We are expected to play a certain part in this war and it is only a question of time when we will be engaged in government work. We, therefore, appeal to all our employes to show their patriot ism by being sober, industrious, efficient. Enter into your work with the spirit that achieves, and in so doing you will serve your country as effectively as men on the battlefield or in the trenches. "He serves his country best who serves it well. "DO YOUR BIT:" FRENCH MISSION IS UNDISTURBED [Continued From First Pago] plate which bound the ends of the rails and thereby permitted the rails to spread, letting the day-coach, one sleeper and the front truck of the dining-car down on the ties. The wreck occurred at a point where the line is of single track construction, which had been thor oughly inspected by trackmen only a short time before the accident, one of the trackmen arriving at the scene of the wreck almost as soon as the train party left the cars. The trucks of the day-coach and the tender of the locomotive were strewn along the ditch in a mass of twisted steel. The vestibule of the Pullman car in which the mission staff and newspapermen were riding was partly telescoped. The trainmen riding in the first car had a narrow escape from serious in- Jury when their car was dragged along the track and iW;rturn ed. The men made their escape from the car by crawling through the win dows. The first engine and tender and the second engine minus its ten der became separated from the train when the tender left the track and escaped from the wreck, stopping several hundred feet from where the cars overturned. Hurried Surrey After making a hurried survey of the wreck. Chief Nye, of the secret service accompanied by newspaper men, boarded the first engine and ran to Kilson from where help was sum moned. Members of the commission remain ed aboard their cars, the observation' car and the compartment car, until assistance came. They showed no ex citement and the American members of the party also remained calm. Breckinridge Longv third assistant , secretary of state, was one of the first outside the train and alongside the wrecked car with Chief Nye. They held a brief consultation and pre pared dispatches for the government at Washington, informing officials there of the accident and that every one was safe and uninjured. Marshal Joffre was the I member of the party. With Vice- Premier Viviani and the other lead ers of the party he was at dinner when the jolting begin. Secret service men immediately hurried along to members of the par ty and reassured them that every thing was all right. As soon as news of the accident ireached Areola people with automo biles went to the assistance of the distinguished party, offering their homes and machines for their use. They assired the officials that all the inhabitants of the section were In sympathy with the allies - cause and that the little town had sent more than its quota of recruits to the army and navy of the United States. IteHiime Dinner After a few hours' delay the train had been made up with extra equip ment and was on its way again. Meanwhile M. Viviani, Marshal JofTre and their compatriots had resumed their dinner, the table having been laid anew ai\d service re-established in less thafi fifteen minutes. Recognition of the cool-headedness and courage of John Redmond, the engineer In charge of the first en gine, and others of the crews of the two engines probably will be taken by the government. Assistant Secre tary bong already lias taken steps to ascertain the names of the men. In the opinion of railroad men the steel coaches prevented a worse wreck, and possibly saved lives. Had the cars been of wooden construction, the railroad men say, it is possible they might have been badly shattered. The Washington authorities have arranged for an entirely changes schedule and revised route. The spe cial train will stop at Terre Haute for ten minutes to-day, at Indianapo lis an hour and a quarter and at Co lumbus, Ohio, for the same length of time. Furtner movements have not been determined. Philadelphia Gives Up Elaborate Ceremony For French War Mission Philadelphia, May 8. Plans for the reception In this city to-day to the French mission, headed by Rene Vlvlanl and Marshal Joffre, were cancelled upon receipt of file news of the accident of the special train bringing the distinguished visitors from the west. An elaborate pro gram amid scenes resplendent in historical traditions had been ar ranged In honor of the distinguished Krenchmen. but Mayor Smith an nounced early to-day that the party would arrive too late to carry It out. In response to the mayor's procla mation, thousands of patriotic cttl eens had planned to suspend ac tivities during the official reception HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH and most of the city's industrial and commercial establishments had an nounced their intention to close at noon in order to permit their em ployes to join in the greetings to the envoys and their official escorts. A public reception at Franklin Field and a municipal banquet were | among the events planned for the day. j KAUFMAN'S First Banner-Value Day I lta,nLJl Inaugurated Tomorrow, Wedat 8.30 A.M.
