Bring ing baskets to the boys has become such a fad that families go to the Island and have small picnics, In viting some unfortunate as an extra guest who lives too far away to bo supplied with things from home. The men were looking forward to the coming of the paymaster late this afternoon. Some of the men say when at the bordor they were so far "broke" it was almost impossible to borrow money even from an officer. Borrowing money Is another of the diversions of a soldier's life and some of the men play bankers for an en tire squad. Private Edward "Wilson is In the Harrisburg Hospital in a serious con dition from accidental poisoning late last night. Vi'Mson complained of having the headache and went to the hospital tent for medlcein. In mistake a rookie gave him bichloride tablets. A few minutes later he was seized with violent cramps. It was then discovered thut poison had been given him. It will not be known for some time what effect the poison will have. The close of the month at the army recruiting station showed a higher number of enlistments than had been expected by even the offi cers. When all reports are total. it is expected the enlistments for the month will total almost 1,600 men. Many of the men enlisting still continue to prefer the medical corps. Recruiting officers endeavor to show men who have had no train ing in that line that the medical corps is no guarantee of not getting into the gunfire. It is said that men in the medical corps stand as good an opportunity of getting near, if not nearer, to the enemies line than j a man who carries a gun. Xeverthe- I less a large percentage of the men want to take a chance at carrying a stretcher in Dreference to riding in! one.

HAHRISBXJRG RAILROAD RUMBLES HEAT TUMBLES MANY SOLDIERS Parents, Friends and Sweet hearts Attend the Farewell Review at Philadelphia Many friends of soldier boyß in the Nineteenth Regiment. Railway Engi neers, went to Philadelphia yesterday to bid them God speed. It Is the be lief this unit will leave within a few days for France. Yesterday a fare well review was held on Belmont Plateau. It was made an occasion for a final visit of parents, sweethearts and friends. In this regiment are a number of Pennsylvania Railroad em ployes from Harrlsburg, New Cum berland. West Falrvlew. Pe..brook, Lucknow. Rockville, Marysville and other points. Many Hent Prostrations It was a hot day. Fifty or more members were prostrated by the heat during the review llefore Brigadier General William M. Black, chief of the Engineer Corps, U. S. A. The men, sweltering in heavy woolen winter uniforms and woolen shirts, got their first taste of soldiering in tropical temperature, but swung past the re viewing officer with a vim that was commendable under the circumstan ces. The regiment, with its full six com panies of 200 men each, commanded by Colonel Herbert Peakyne. was in spected by General Black and a num ber of officials of the railroads and National Guard officers. In the party which was headed by General Black, was Major General Charles M. Clement, commanding the Pennsylvania Division of National Guard: W. W. Atterbury, vice-presi dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad: L F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad: S. M. Felton. president of the Chicago Great West ern Railroad; S. M. Vauclain, vice president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and Sir Francis Dent, a mem ber of the English Roval Commission. I.ooked I.lke Battlefield Every square foot of shade under the trees fringing the plateau was used by the Medical Corps of the En gineers In treating prostrated men. Instead of a peaceful military cere mony the affair took on the apear ance of a pitched battle, with the wounded strewn over the field. The light cotton summer uniforms, or khaki, have not been issued to the men of this regiment, despite the fact that midsummer Is reached and the men of the Regular Army and Na tional Guard are so equipped. Despite the discomfort of their per spiring march, the men of the Nine teenth Engineers were complimented for their appearance and drill by General Black and the other members of the party. This regiment is re cruited from the highest skilled rail road shop men. S. M. Felton. of the Chicago Great Western, and a mem ber of the Railroad Commission, was also pleased with the appearance of the men. INCREASE FREIGHT CAPACITY Reports just compiled by the war board show that the railroads have already effected an extraordinary improvement in the amount of coil handled in the country as a whole. The first important official act of the board was to direct that railroads give preference to the movement of coal. In June the railroads handled 750,323 cars of bituminous coal, an Increase of 26.2 per cent, over June, 1916. Unfilled car orders showed a reduction on June 30 of nearly 50 per cent, compared with the preced ing month.

I.—Their de mands for an increase in wages re fused 600 car repairmen in the Scully yards of the Pennsylvania yards at Thornburg, a suburb, went on strike after holding a meeting and adopting a resolution that they would aid Uncle Sam by assigning workmen to repair cars which car ried any government consignments or foodstuffs. The strike threatens seriously to cripple the Panhandle division of the Pennsylvania, inasmuch as the yards were crowded with cars awaiting re pairs. The dearth of cars on the division will become greater, unless the strike ends quickly, it was stated to-day, because the heavy tonnage at present is crippling many daily. Repairmen, who have been receiv ing 25 cents per hour for a 9%-hour day are demanding 45 cents an hour. Laborers and car inspectors are also demanding an increase.

STEEL EARNINGS $144,498,076 NET June Quarter Exceeds by $31,376,158 Those of the March Quarter New York, Aug. 1. —The net earn ings of the United States Steel Cor poration for the June quarter total $144,498,076, exceeding by $31,376,- 158 the net earnings of "the March quarter, which were the largest In the history of the company until that time. Out of the earnings of the last quarter the corporation deducted $53,918,872 as an allowance for the excess profits tax for the three months. With allowances also for ordinary repairs and maintenance of the plants and interest on the bonds of the subsidiary companies, the total earnings remaining were $90,579,204. Other Deductions There was a further appropriation of $14,317,399 for the depreciation and replacement and $1,806,762 was set aside for sinking fund pur poses. This reduced the net income to $74,425,053. With deductions for interest for the quarter on the fund ed debt of the holding company and premium on bonds redeemed there was a balance for dividend on the two classes of stocks of $68,873,536. From this was declared the regu lar quarterly dividend of 1 % per cent, on the preferred and IVt per cent, on- the common stock, requir ing $12,658,700, and $15,249,079 as an extra dividend of 3 per cent, on the common stock. Based on the balance for dividends remaining aft er payment on the preferred stock, the earnings on the junior issue were equivalent to about 48 per cent, for the year. The earnings for the three months greatly exceeded Wall Street's es timates, which ranged from $130,- 000,000 to $135,000,000. As usual, deep interest was dis played throughout the financial dis trict in the quarterly earnings. When the first bulletin came out, giving the net earnings at $90,579,204, there was a gasp of dismay. The traders saw visions of a great smash, but there was relief when the expla nation came that the directors had deducted $53,918,872 for excess profit tax and $33,865,000 from the earnings of the first quarter of the year for the excess profits tax, which left a total surplus for the six months after all deductions of $71,- 854,717. $43,000,000 For New Work During the six months ending June 30, 1917, $13,000,000 was ex pended on account of additions and new construction. ChiJrman Gary told the newspaper me. that a great part of the appropriation for new construction was to equip the cor poration for government work. In cluding this appropriation was $12,- Both Men and Women Suffer with backache, pain in kidney and bladder regions, headache, ver i tigo, dizzy feelings and sometimes fail to recognize where the trouble lies.

Only Slight Increase in Number of Marriages Only nine more marriage licences were lniiued this year during July than laHt year In the same month, ac cording to a report by License Clerk Alvord In the county recorder's office. This shows that there are not many "slacker" marriages here. Because of the fact that during June the same number as last year were taken out, the Increase came as a surprise, as officials anticipated a drop in the applications. This year during July 113 couples took out cer tificates, while last year 104 applied.
