A TROOPER'S IDEA OF GUARD DUTY
Although the boys of the Governor's Troop are not in France, they
are compelled at tlmse to fight a disease not exactly native to France,
and that disease is "on-we." Th\>y don't all coll it that, but neverthe
less It bites them all at times. To relieve the morotony some of them
have been taking to cartoon work. All of their work shows where their
thoughts are at the present time, every picture portraying some phase of
army life.
While the pictures meet with the approval of the entire troop, the
men who are actually doing the work are anxious to remain anonvmnus
at least for the present.

REV. WM. P. NICHOLSON
Quinn Asks For More
Resignations of Officers
In a letter to the public, C. P.
Qulnn, secretary-treasurer of the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor,
'relative to his request that City
Controller Fry resign if he means to
run for Council, says:
"My answer to Mr. Fry is that a
number of wrongs' to not make a
'right.' When the people elect a
candidate for a certain period, such
candidate should not be permitted
to seek another office again (unless
to succeed himself), until he shall
have completed the term for which
he has been elected. Mr. Fry has
not served half his term.
"There may be extenuating cir
cumstances in the case of a Judge
who has served many years, but
there is not In the case of Mr. Fry.
"Mr. Gorgas' time expires this
year. His position admits of no
criticism. Mr. Snyder's candidacy
was quite regular. He was elected
to two offices. No apology, at all,
between the Snyder and Fry cases.
Hoverter's and Hilton's positions are
Irregular, unless their terms expire
this year, but their acts do not ex
cuse Mr. Fry, whose asseverations of
fidelity to the people, less than two
years ago, elected ~"him controller.
Now he thinks controller too exact
ing and wants an easier 'job.'
"I voted for the gentleman last
time, and Induced others to vote for
him. This time, unless he has the
courage to lay down his present
official burden, in time to give the
people the selection of his successor,
there may be quite a few Fry votes
missing.
"Will Mr. Fry please tell us who,
in case of his election to Council,
has the power to appoint his suc
cessor?"
MEADE W. C. T. IT. MEETING
The annual meeting of the Meade
W. C. T. U. will be held to-morrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home
of the president, Mrs. Violet Hollar
Bolan, 1606 Liberty street. The an
nual election will be held and re
ports presented by chairmen of the
various committees. A full attend
ance of members Is urged.
FILMING THE PASSION PLAY
Who of us but that many times
has wished when reading tho beau
tiful Gospel story that he might
have been In Palestine in the days of
the Master? Vivid as are the de
scriptions of the inspired writers,
there is still a lingering wish to see
the scenes described. When the
world was normal and the god of
war In leash, thousands impelled by
this desire made the pilgrimage to
Oberammergau to see the Passion
Play. It has remained, however, for
the motion picture to paint the New
Testamont story in living pictures for
the people of to-day. Taking as a
dramatic basis the poem "Christus"
by the Italian poet Fausto Salvatorl,
the cines of Rome produced in Egypt
and the Holy Land a picture which
has been shown at the Criterion
Theater in New York.
This picture is a remarkable por
trayal of a subject rendered exceed
ingly difficult by the reverent faith
of millions. It is magnificently done.
It is calculated to strengthen the
faith of believers and to end the
questionings of doubters. We do not
know what plans may have been
made for showing it in other parts
of the country, but we hope that it
will go at least to the larger centers
of population, and that many of the
readers of the Christian Herald will
have an opportunity to see it.—The
Christian Herald.
NEWS OF STEELTON
BUYING HELD UP
BY COST INQUIRY
"One-Price-For-All" Adding
to Uncertainty in Iron and
Steel Markets
Repeated reports from Washington
of sweeping action Intended In the
government's dealings with steel
makers and the reiteration of the
President's call for "one price for
all" have only aded to the uncertain
ty that is holding back all iron and
steel markets, according to the week
ly summary given in tho iron age.
The trade review follows: Price
changes have been narrow, apart
from semifinished steel, In which
offerings have been made at $lO to
sls' a ton below the re'eent high
level of SIOO for billets and $lO5
for sheet bars.
It Is known that buying for the
Allies Is held up by the steel cost
inquiry and that more time will be
necessary for the latter than was
counted on. Meanwhile official state
ments of steps that will be taken In
the handling of steel prices are not
assuring. In all of it there is no
hint of regulation In the products
of those manufacturers who buy
finished Iron and steel. Moreover,
consumers of pig iron, of which
government buying Is negligible, are
not convinced that regulation in
that market on the "one-price-for
all" principle will effect any marked
readjustment. The suggested com
mandeering of plants charging more
to private consumers than to the
government might not be easily ap
plied to 400 blast furnaces, only a
few of which by any chance would
be sellers to the government.
Thorugh government control ol
coal and coke output and prices Is
practically assured in the passing of
the food bill, there is still the prob
lem of Insufficient labor to increase
the coke output. The withdrawal
of cars from the coke districts in view
Of labor scarcity there was overdone
this week and spot coke advanced $3
to $4 a ton or to sl3 and sl4.
That Jig-iron output fell off furth
er in July was chiefly due to coke
shortage, with heat and humidity
added. The decrease from June
was 1200 tons a day, which was also
the June decline form May. The
July total was 3,342,438 tons, or
107,820 tons a day, against 3,270,-
055 tons in June, or 109,002 tons a
day. Furnaces blowing out balanc
ed those going in so that 351 were
active August 1 as on July 1, with
estimated capacity of 109.248 tons
a day, compared with 111,755 tons
a day, one month previous.
Four weeks of restricted buying
has developed a policy on the part
of some jobing interests, of working
down stocks on hand against possible
readjustments of prices, and there
are evidences of a similar policy on
the part of manufacturing con
sumers, some of whom have for
months specified freely against con
tracts.
The early rolling of the 150,000
tons of rails for the government's
line in France will mean that do
mestic roads must wait for rails
which were to be delivered in August
and September.

MAY RAISE MILK
PRICE AUGUST 15
Meeting Tonight in Mechan
icsburg to Consider An
other Increase +
Residents ot the city will be forced
to pay an Increase In the price of
milk within the next few weeks,
milk dealers predicted to-day. A meet
ing will be held this evening at Me
chanlcsburg, when action will bo
taken. Farmers and retail merchants
from this city and vicinity have been
asked to attend. The retail milkmen
will attempt to have the price of milk
from the farmer fixed at twenty-four
cents a gallon. The retail price then
would be raised to five cent* a pint
and ten cents a quart. At the pro
posed rate, cream would sell for forty
cents a qua/t. It Is expected that the
prices will be raised about August 15,
According to L. A. Sterlck, secretary
of the City Dairymen's Association,
the wholesale price of milk in Harrls
burg and vicinity is higher than in
New York, Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.
Although the retail price is higher in
these cities it is due to the fact that
the supply for these large cities comes
from a greater distance than here,
making the transportation price
higher. Farmers in this vicinity
maintain that they are forced to pay
much higher wages, this, combined
with the scarcity of feed and
cattle. Is the cause for the In
crease. When the farmers marie
their last raise in the wholesale
price the local retailers continued to
sell milk at the same price, but this
time they will not be able to keep the
old price and will necessarily be forc
ed to raise it, Mr. Sterlck said.
