12 WAR GARDENS PRODUCE $7,000 WORTH OF FOOD Efforts to Reduce High Cost of Living Bring Splen did Results That the Harrlsburg war gardens xvere a pronounced success is the unanimous opinion of the agricul tural committee of the Chamber of Commerce and recommendations will be made to the directors of the Chamber of Commerce that financial assistance be extended to make a continuation of the movement pos sible in 1918. This year, Harrisburg's municipal gardens were a new venture, and great interest was shown in the ef forts of the Chamber of Commerce to reduce the high cost of living to I those who were willing to raise gar den produce. On about 300 gardens furnished through the efforts of the Chamber, produce estimated at al most $7,000 is being raised. This is j entirely independent of tlxe school gardens. S. B. Watts, who was appointed superintendent of garden plots for the Chamber of Commerce, had charge of the work, and presents an interesting report. School children cultivated 714 garden plots, and the value of the produce grown by the children is estimated at not less than $2,200. This is considered a remarkable showing when it is taken into ac count that most of the lots meas ured only 10 by 15 feet. The lots in Bellevue were 20 by 30 feet, and none were larger. Potatoes Lead The predominating crop planted by the children was potatoes. Next in favor come beans, tomatoes and cabbage, in the order named. The benefits derived by the children from their initial experiments in the realm of agriculture are not to be esti mated in terms of dollars and cents. The war gardens cost the Chamber of Commerce less than $2,000 which includes the salary of the superin tendent. The following principals super vised the planting of the plots: G. S. Machen, principal of the Camp Curin building; John E. Harlacher, principal of the Hamilton building; E. D. Keiper, principal of the Mel rose building; J. F. Ferguson, prin cipal of the Forney building. The lots were located as follows; Bellevue Park, 150; Sixth and For est, 30; Sixth and Woodbine, 20; Sixth and Emerald, 16; Jefferson and Camp, 72: Hoffman's Woods, 36; Second and Lewis, 24; Green and Edwards, 115; Sixteenth and North, 25; Fifteenth and Vernon, 54; Sixth, near the U. B. Church, 72; Twenty third and Brookwood, 100. So popular were the gardens this year that more than one hundred persons applied for space after the twenty-seven acres at the disposal of the superintendent had been disposed of. Superintendent Watts in his re port states that the children deserve a great deal of praise for keeping their plots in order, and expresses the belief that the work has been very beneficial to the young people. The agricultural committee of the Chamber heartily endorsed Mr. Watts' report, and it is probable that he will be asked to supervise the garden activities of the city next year. Painful Foot Tortures — Active Service in Banish and Prevent Corns, Callouses, Blisters, Abrasions, etc. —A Novel Way to Qaickly Soothe and Comfort Sore, Tired, Tender, Aching Feet That Barn, Smart, Itch, Chafe, Swell and Perspire Told by Corporal Jim Sulli van in an interesting interview accorded an American writer recently returned from Europe. Officers of the British Royal Anny Medical Corps also explain why the same meUioU Is so successful at the Front. Many readers who sutler from Pain ful foot afflictions will be interested to learn how medical officers of the F.ngiish Army deal with and promptly stop the various forms of foot misery inseparable from hard military serv ice. New recruits are often too lame and footsore to walk after their Jirst lon* "hike", and even the toughest and hardiest of the old campaigners freauently succumb to trench feet arid the crippling rheumatic or other tortures so common in the wet. damp trenches. This article explains how they put their feet in fine condition and kept them that way. Any reader can. of course, adopt the same meas ure since the foot troubles which af flict soldiers in the trenches are usu allv far more serious than any which civilians ever suffer and soldiers', op portunities for proper rest and med ical treatment are, naturally, few and far between. Corporal Jim Sullivan, probably the V.si Known and most popular of vrTciish Army trainers, idol of the unfish snorting world in his box IL R S SSVB recently said to the writer: '"The first requisite of ohoxer or soldier is a good.

HUMBLE IS GIVEN PROMOTION Recognition For Popular Phil adelphia Division Official; Long in Service George W. Humble, 1932 Green street, was to-day appointed road foreman of engines of the Philadel phia division. He succeeds the late Charles N. Watts. Efficiency, with long and faithful service, it is said, were factors in the promotion of Mr. Humble. He is one of the most popular em ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Humble was born at Columbia, October 10, 1864, and entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a brakeman on Decem ber 31, 1883. Three years later to the day, he was made a fireman, and on January 20, 1899,. was made instruc tor of firemen on the Philadelphia division. He became an engineman on August 1. 1902. Assistant Foreman On November 20, 1905, Mr. Hum ble was appointed assistant road foreman of engines, under the late Charles N. Watts, and has continued in that position. Since the death of his predecessor, he has been acting road foreman of engines. For sometime there have been many reports regarding a successor to Mr. Watts and probable appointees were named from Philadelphia, New York and other points. It was a general belief that the custom fol lowed by some divisions in picking I men from foreign districts, would be continued here. The announce ment of the appointment of Mr. Humble to-day brought many ex pressions of satisfaction and con gratulations followed. Railroad Notes Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine men, have adopted resolutions pro testing against the removal of the jitneys, and denouncing the action of the Public Service Commissioners as unjust. These railroaders say they signed for the jitneys and want them continued. W. D. Bowers engineer on the Middle division of the Pennsylvania Railroad has purchased a plot of gTound near Losh's Run and next year will erect a bungalow. He has been doing his bit as a farmer this year and will raise vegetables on a larger scale next year. Fred Lupfer, engineer on the Pittsburgh division, with Mrs. Lup fer, are at their summer cottage, Losh's Run. They will return to Altoona next week. Another large crowd went to Niagara Falls to-day on the weekly excursion of the Pennsylvania Rail road. A total of 19 tickets were sold in this city. Traffic to the sea shore was also heavy. Train No. 37 due in Harrisburg at 3.32 this morning, was four hours late. While enroute to this city an air tank that had fallen from an other engine lodged along the main tracks and tore off several steps and boxes on the sleeping car on the fast express. No one was injured. Passengers were badly scared. Re pairs were made where possible. "Foot troubles? There's no excuse for them.

COAL SHORTAGE CAUSES ALARM Railroads Are Doing Much to Prevent Serious Conditions; Large Shipments "The situation with respect to the coal supply which has developed since the United States entered the great war has become alarming," says the Railway Age Gazette. "It is a situation to which government officers, the railways, the coal oper ators and miners and the public should give immediate attention. "Th® railways within the four months of April, May, June and July, moved much more coal in the coun try as a whole than ever before in any corresponding period. In April, 1917, they handled 20 per cent, more anthracite and 2 2 per cent, more bituminous coal than they did in April, 1916. In May they handled 2 4 per cent, more anthracite and 27 per cant, more bituminous coal than in May of last year. In June they handled 18 per cent, more an thracite and 29 per cent, more bitu minous coal than in June of last year. July Business In July they handled 19 per cent, more anthracite and 34 per cent, more bituminous coal than in July of last year. In April, May, June and July, 1916, they moved 2,297,- 290 carloads of coal, or approxi mately 115,000,000 tons. In the same months of this year they moved 2,- 951,054 carloads, or about 148,-000,- 000 tons, an increase for the entire period over the same period of last year of 28 per cent. "When it is considered that the amount of coal moved in 1916 was the greatest up to that time—in other words, that the railways have this year beaten their best previous rec ords by 28 per cent.—it will be seen that if the coal situation is not sat isfactory this is not because the rail ways have not been exerting them selves to the utmost to make it so." The Railway Age Gazette points out as causes, thfe transfer of coast wise vessels to government service; and increase in demand for coal. Suggests Remedy As a remedy it is desirable not only that the production and trans portation of coal shall be Increased, but also that In all ways that are reasonably practicable, its consump tion shall be curtailed. The railways themselves already have made a good beginning in this direction. They have reduced their passenger service at the rate of 20,000,000 pas senger-train milesa year and have other reductions in contemplation which will make the total reduction about 30,000,000 a year. It is esti mated that this will effect a saving of about 2,000,000 tons of coal a year. Motive Power Gun Club to Hold Big Target Shoot Plans were completed to-day for a big shoot at Lucknow to-morrow. The Grand division shoot scheduled for this city to-morrow has been called off, and instead the Motive Power Athletic Gun Club will hold a target shoot on the Lucknow field. Many shooters from out of town are expected. These weekly shoots are attracting large crowds. HARRFSBURG TELEGRAPH ELECTRIC BRAKE PREVENTS JOLTS New Invention Is Being Tried Out on Middle Division of the Pennsy Those hard Jars when a passenger train stops, and airbrakes are ap plied, will soon be a thing of the past. Tests are now being made on two trains on the Middle division with an electrical appliance that stops trains gradually and promptly. The new invention is being tried out on Train No. 15, west, and No. 46, east. These trains ure in the heavy class, hauling from seven to eleven cars. The electric brake manipulator with batteries is attach ed to each car. When the locomo tive is coupled to the train the brakes are operated from the en gine Just the same as with air, the .latter automatically releasing the electrical levers. A gauge is used to show how much air to supply. The engineer fixes the point where he is to stop and applies the air. The brakes on each car tighten up slowly but sure ly, and the passengers receive no shaking up or hard jolts. Requires Study The new method of applying the airbrakes requires study, as an ap plication too early will cause a loss of air that may be needed later on. This complication is being overcome by the engineers and it is expected that within the next three months all trains will be equipped with the new electric appliance. Officials are of the belief that once worked out successfully the application of the emergency brakes is also possible without a heavy jar. Trains are stopped with the new appliance in much less distance than at present. This new invention was discussed last night at the monthly meeting of the Friendship and Co-operative Club, held at Eagle's Hall, Sixth and Cumberland streets. Superintendent N. W. Smith, of the Middle division, and other officials were present, also a number of engineers. The latter find discussions of this kind interest ing and educational, they claim. Signals were also discussed, and recent rules regarding switch sig nals explained. It was an open ses sion and everybody present had something to say. Due to the rain the attendance was small, and it was decided to postpone considera tion of several reports until the next meeting.

A large motorboat at Wildwood Park with Its house was torn away and carried to the stlllway. Because the Middletown line was damaged, hundreds of employes of the Bethlehem Steel Company were de layed several hours in getting to their homes. Near Cameron and Maclay streets the street was washed at the foot of the hill about four feet. A huckster who was driving in this vicinity slid into the washout. Kor two hours men worked to save his horse from drowning. Several I.andslldm No serious accidents were reported on the railroads as the result of larft night's storm. Washouts occurred on the Northern Central Railway be tween Harrisburg and Renova; west of Duncannon on the Middle Division, and on the Reading near Pottsville. Trains from the north were delayed by landslides at Rockville, near Sun bury and in the vicinity of Yfilliams port. Dirt, stones and trees were washed down and covered the tracks for several hundred feet. The slides near Rockville stopped traffic. Trains were run over the "Y" to the Rock ville bridge and backed into the city. Construction trains were called out and cleared the tracks before daylight this morning. Street Covered With Mud Heavy rain swelling a small creek flowing into a culvert in North Cam eron street, near Maclay street, washed out part of the culvert, caus ing considerable damage there, as re pairs had been started several weeks ago and were not completed. The water also washed mud over many of the street in the Allison Hill district. Street Commissioner Lynch had sev eral gangs of men at work all over the city cleaning the mud and dirt from the streets and repairing the damage to the culvert. Many Cellars I'loded About a score of cellars were flooded during the storm when a sewer in the vicinity of Twenty-first and Ber ryhill Btreets became clogged. Terri tory in the vicinity of the Paxton creek was swamped when the stream overflowed its banks. Telephone serv ice was also effected by the rain. To day gangs of repairmen are placing the lines in proper condition. More rain is promised for to-day and to-morrow. The temperature is due for a drop of several degrees this evening. The Susquehanna river has been raising and a stage of about flve feet is forecasted for Harrisburg by to-morrow.
