Dr. John If, Culp, who returned to-day from Atlantlo City, where he attended u. great convention of par and throat ipoclallatn, he heina vice president of t ho American Laryng ologlcal Society and tho fthlnologleal Society, made tho proffer, following an address by Major Lytiter, of the United States army, during which he said that the government intend* to enlist 10,000 men for the aviation corps. Peculiar qualification!! are necessary for men In this branch. They must be possessed of extraor dinarily good sight und be able to keep their equilibrium under all cir cumstances, this latter qualification necessitating among other things very acute hearing. Requires (Ircat Care "I am an officer in the medical reserve," said Dr. Culp to-duy, "but 1 hope to see the work of examination well started here before I am called away. Medical examination of can didates for the aerial corps requires great care and more time than is necessary for other branches of the service. Men who may have tome slight physical disqualification to bar them from the Infantry or artillery, if they have the nerve, the sight and ability to maintain their equilibrium will be acceptable. The task of weeding out from the applicants 10,- 000 men well fitted will be gigantic and for that reason I felt that Har risburg should do its share. 1 am going to prepare at once to begin work." Major Lyster is a relative of Col. R. C. Williams, formerly of Harris burg, now along the border.

SATURDAY EVENING, PEPPER DENIES FRICTION EXISTS IN THE STATE Philadclphian Declares Safety Committees Work in Harmony By Ajsociated Prfss Philadelphia. June I.—George Whar ! ton Pepper, chairman of the State j Public Safety Committee, to-day save out a statement denying, as far as he has knowledge, friction between his organization and the State Safety and Defense Committee, of which Gov ernor Brumbaugh is chairman. His statement follows: "In spite of statements to the con trary, there is, as far as I know, no disagreement between the Committee of Public Safety and the Commission named In the appropriation act. The Commission Is subject to a legal duty to pass upon the propriety of all dis bursements; and an entirely satisfac tory system of auditing has been agreed upon with the auditor general. No question has arisen respecting any expenditure or commitment of the Committee of Public Safety and ni> disagreement exists upon any impor tant matter of policy. I have seen in one of the newspapers a statement at tributed to the Governor which I feel reasonably sure he did not make. "To deny the existence of a great and pressing emergency requiring im mediate action would be to deny that which is known as a fact by every one. The request for emergency serv ice in connection with the food sup ply problem, and for the more effec tive co-operation of local committees of public safety are of vital importance in our opinion and we expect prompt action upon them." Dirigo Was Famous in U. S. Maritime History Philadelphia, June 2. —One of the famous ships of the American mer chant marine was lost when the American schooner Dirigo was sent to the boftom by gunfire from a German submarine. She was the first steel square-rigged vessel that was ever built In America. Because of this fact she was named Dirigo. Her plats were rolled and shaped in Eng land and then brought to Bath, Maine, where they were assembled in 1894. Although a slow craft, she was one of the most stately under the Ameri can flag. Her appearance in any port was enough to start all the old salts talking of the days when the American flag was seen upon the seven seas. Her last voyage from this port was on January 17, 1915, when she sailed from here for Japan with a cargo of 122,200 cases of re fined petroleum. She was one of the famous vessels of the'Sewall fleet of steel Bath-built squar-riggers and was used as a model for the others. The 'William P. Frye, one of this fleet, was among the first American vessels to fall prey to a German submarine. With her i sister ships, the Arthur M. Sewall, which sailed from this port years ago and has never been heard from; Ed ward Sewall and the Ersklne M. Phelps, th eDtrigo made maritime history of which all American sea men are proud. It was on the Dirigo that the late Jack London, with Mrs. Charmion London, some years ago made a voy age around Cape Horn. During this voyage London completed "The Val ley of the Moon."

MAY WEED OUT UNFIT AT CAMP Fort Niagara Roster Closes With the Arrival of Guardsmen Fort Niagara, N. Y., June 2. With the arrival yesterday of the re mainder of the 24 3 Pennsylvania National Guardsmen and also of the twenty-nine college students recom mended by the professof of military' science and tactics of Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg, this post now has its full quota of embryo officers, numbering 2,377 men. The original alotment of National Guardsmen had been placed at 366, chosen from the different companies in Pennsylvania. But for some un forseen reason several companies failed to offer recommendations for that purpose to the War Depart ment, which then reduced the num ber to 24 3. The camp is now closed to all making applications and none for this period will be considered. Considerable worrying is being done b ythe members of the camp because of the recent appointment of a confidential board, wliich will have full charge of the weeding out of the undesirables, unfit and those who seem backyard In learning the rudi ments of modern warfare. It has been rumored, although unconfirm ed, that several may "lose their heads" at any time. More Commissions Expected Soon N No more commissions have as yet been received, although several are expected in each mail from the War Department, and great interest is being shown as to who the lucky men may be. Signal practice of the wigwag va riety was the entire program for yesterday, making tin inspiring spec, tacle in the brilliant sunlight of the June day. The entirecamp ground was completely covered by the men waving the multicolored flags in the signals they arc lcArnlng to master.

"Is the stuff in your crankcase to day real oil with lubricating power practically unimpaired, or is it Just 'stuff' that was. oil once upon a time long ago? If it Is the latter you will be money in pocket if you drain it out immediately and put in fresh oil," says the Paige superintendent of service. "The amount of money that is spent by car owners as the result of failing to drain out the cranKcase and put in fresh oil frequently enough, fully Jus tifies dealers in saying that this is one of the greatest causes of impaired au tomobile efficiency which comes under the observation of their service de partment. "Hardly one motorist in ten drains' the crankcase often enough. This is why factories recommend draining them every 500 miles, hoping that if they put it as strong as this owners "FRANK"—FORMER CITI V. - - ■>.. "FRANK." "Frank," a splendid tire horse, owned by the Citizen Fire Company, and used in the hose wagon for sev eral years, died this week. He was about 2 8 years old. "Frank" was bought in 1899 from George Gear hart, a huckster, then in business in Woodbine street, and was used in the one-horse hose wagon of the company until 1908, when the com pany received an engine and two horse chemical and hose wagon, with a pair of horses for each piece of apparatus. At that time a question was raised by some of the city louncllinent as to the ownership of the horse and the matter was taken into council. That body decided that the company had bought and paid for the horse, and the unimal belong ed to the firemen. The company then decided to put "Frank" on the pen sion list and gave him in care of training camps will stand high when the future officers are commissioned. Members have enlisted as follows: W. R.

It is money in their pockets and it certainly adds to the pleasure of driving or riding in a car to have a smooth running motor. Whether it Is inattention or a false view of economy, it is certain that oil is cheaper than bearings. If they arc not kept lubricated the bear ings are going to grind out. With hot weather coming on conditions arc more severe on bearings than in the cooler months of the year. "This trouble with thin oil in the crankcase is getting worse instead of better as time goes on. One reason may be the lower grade of fuel which is commonly used now. High-grade gasoline exploded practically the full charge in the cylinder at every shot. "The low grade .heavier fuel of to day Is very likely not to burn up com pletely, so some gasoline gradually leaks down through the cylinder and grts into the oil and helps thin it. Howard O.

He was quartered for several years in the stable at the Na tional hotel p.t Hummelstown, while Mr. Holsteln was proprietor, and when he returned to Harrisburg the horse was brought along. Ho has always been kindly cauert for and retained his old fire spirit until his death. "Frank" was a fine specimen of horse flesh, symmetrically buflt, with straight limbs and compact, strong body. He was unusually intelligent and had a hind, affectionate disposi tion that made him the pet of the firemen. He had speed and strength, and hauled thfe heavy hose wagon with its equipment and complement of men, at rapid speed to flr<}s.

Reeves Arrives to Take Charge of Local Work ROBERT B. REEVES Robert B. Reeves, the new secretary of the Y. M. C. A., arrived In the city this afternoon to take charge of the work here immediately. It is the Intention of the new sec retary to do everything possible to stimulate interest in Y. M. C. A. work and make the local building the head quarters for many young men at pres ent not interested in the work. Mr. Reeves comes to Harrisburg highly recommended. Highly Commended -When Mr. Reeves resigned last Oc tober as general secretary of the Troy association the directors accepted his retirement with regret and commend ing him In a series of resolutions, said "You have modestly done your work with excellent judgment and rare efficiency, and you Jiave served this association In a manner worthy of the commendation of all. You have not only been active in your professional work, but you have had the disposition and ability to also aid the church work of the city, as well as various departments of com munity work. In all these lines your labors will be sadly missed, and your departure will create a decided loss to the moral and spiritual activities of our city." During the month of May the new secretary gave assistance at the In ternational V. M. C. A. headquarters In working out the plans of the war l council. When Mr. Reeves left Troy the Times of that city in an editorial endorsement of his work said he de served "the gratitude of tile people not only for what he has done as secretary of the Young Men's Chris tian Association, but for his general and active work as a good citizen." Another Troy newspaper, the Record, said; "As an all-around citizen, dig nified, re.perted and efficient, Robert B. Reeves has fitted admirably. Into the life of this community." • Splendid Itrrnril His record at Troy, where he spsnt nlmost seven years in the work, is one of excellent and constructive ef fort In Y. M. C.

GERMAN PEOPLE GRUMBLE OVER I WAR'S LENGTH Dissatisfaction Grows as the ; Chances For Victory Con stantly Grow Less t By Associated Press Copenhagen, June 2. —Private ad vices from Germany tell of growing dissatisfaction among the people at large with the political results of the ruthless submarine campaign and the absence of any indications that it has brought the desired peace near to hand. During their long campaign for the unrestricted us'e of submarines the advocates of this measure made very deiinite promises of immediate results. "Two or three months" was the phase used everywhere in streets nnd newspaper arguments in regard to the time it would take to bring England to her knees, ready for peace. Even though the official pro paganda has since declared the gov ernment bound itself to no particu lar time to produce results, the pre* diction that they would ue obtained in two or three months has remain ed in the minds of the people, i Grumblings are now heard that although four months have passed, England shows no signs of weaken ing, but on the contrary seems de termined to prosecute the wax more bitterly than ever. Statements that France has been "bled white" and will be forced to retire from the war have been made so often that they no longer attract the slightest credence. The entry of the United States into the war and the rupture of relations be tween Germany and the bulk of the neutral world outside Europe is now taken seriously and • regarded with gloom. Goodyear Has Efficient Fire Fighting System In these wartime days, when every pound of product that our varied in dustries can produce, has a direct bearing on our efficiency as a fight ing nation, the loss that the country's tire output would sustain through the destruction of any of our large tire manufacturing plants is almost incalculable. The building of tires, in common with many other industries, has its own peculiarities in the matter of fire-hazards. In the early days of the rubber industry it was no un common occurrence for a rubber plant to he completely wiped out—in I'nct such conflagrations recurred with painful regularity, entailing tremendous physical loss to the own ers, in addition to the indirect losses which always come as a result of fires. Latterly, however, rubber manu facturers have reduced their fire haz ards immeasureably, through the agencies of effective preventat,i\e measures of maintenance of trained fire-fighting forces. One of the companies that stand out conspicuously in this regard is the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com pany, Akron, Ohio, which for eight years has maintained an organization that holds an enviable record in the reduction of fire Josses. During the past year the Goodyear force fought 106 fires re sulted in a physical loss of only $7,430 —a remarkable record when it is remembered that the company's hazard is distributed over seventy five itches of floor space. Goodyear uses the thrcc-platoon system, with twenty men to each pla toon. The department is regularly organized with its chief and a cap tain in charge of each platoon. The signal system used allows the depart ment to reach any part of the mam moth Goodyear plant in ninety sec onds.
