Walnut i ■ FRIDAY EVENING, BIG DEMAND FOR NEW DICTIONARY Distribution Uniformly Hehvy in All Parts of City "From the way the people-are crowding in here tp get these dic tionaries, 1 venture to predict this town is destined before long to be come the intellectual center of the universe." . Thus spoke a young wo man employed at one of the counters from which The New Universities Dic tionary being offered by this paper to its readers is being distributed. She had no time for further com ment. as a number of persons were waiting to present their coupons and secure a copy of the new dictionary. The demand for the book has been phenomenal, large numbers having been distributed within the past week, and the publishers have been called upon repeatedly to replenish the fast vanishing supply. The distribution has been heavy, indicating that this paper is giving its readers at a nomi nal cost an opportunity to satisfy a long-felt want. The offer places within the reach of all a dictionary of convenient size for use in the school, home or office. The editors, who rank among the leading expert lexicographers of America, strove for simplicity in compiling this volume. At the same time they made it authoritative and accurate — a dictionary that will lend invaluable aid to the young man starting to carve out a place for himself in the world, who realizes the necessity of learning to speak and write the Eng lish language correctly: and no less valuable to the man of large busi ness affairs who at all times finds It necessary to have easy access to the definition of terms used in connection with important matters of commerce and law.

Immediately after the elections cap tains will announce noncommissioned officers and a drill of the whole bat talion will take place. The arrange ments for the fall in case of inclem ent weather will be announced next week. PERFORM DUTIES UNDER GUNFIRE Y. M. C. A. Secretaries Are Real Unarmed Soldiers; Doing Great Work Within a thousand yards of Ger man guns; in positions which arc continually under shell fire,. British and Canadian Young Men's Chris tian Association workers are cour ageously performing the duties which American Association overseas work ers will face when American troops take over a part of. the Western battle line. D. A. Davis, one of the secretaries in charge of Young Men's Christian Association work with the American forces in France recently visited British and Canadian fronts, and there had the fact impressed anew upon him that the work of a field Young Men's Christian Association man is that of an 'unarmed soldier.' Concerning his visit to the front, Mr. Davis, a Syracuse University graduate, writes in part as follows: 'The work which the British and Canadian seei'eta.rlcs have done, un der the most dangerous and difficult positions is really beyond all praise. 1 vistted some .- huts which wore within a thousand yards' of the Ger mans and where practically no one was allowed in sight in the day time. The place was constantly un der shell fire and the day I was there shells were landing on all sides. Several of the orderlies who were serving in different Young Men's Christian Associations in this section of the front have recently been killed or injured. "In another Young Men's Chris tian Association which I visited, fifteen of the huts or dugouts had been destroyed by shell fire. I visited one cellar within" a few hundred yards of the Germans which was also tender shell fire, where one ot the services which the men are rendering was selling eggs. Fifteen thousand eggs a week are being sold, the amount of the sales being limited only by the number of eggs, which could be obtained. "In a dugout which was on one of the shellpitted battlefields and also p.-ai - the German lines, a thous and francs a night were being taken in by the sale of hot chocolate and hot tea sold without profit. Th's seems all the more remarkable when you realize that there isn't a house or a sign of civilization within milet. of the place where this is, and that Ihe dugout itself has only room enough for four or five men to get in at one time. A few weeks ago the dugout in this place was com pletely smashed in by the direct hit of a big shell, and another one has now been constructed." Contortionist Puzzle* Selective Board Mansfield, Ohio—Draft board ex amining physicians "were puzzled when Stephen T. Dalton, of Shelby, came up for examination.* "His hip is dislocated," said one doctor. "No, his hips are all right, but his left shoulder's out of joint," Insisted the second examiner. The third found an elbow in bad condition, but the hip and shoulder all right. Dalton is a contortionist who at will can throw ht nes out of joint and appear badly crippioa. After puzzling the physicians for a time, Dalton threw himself back into shape and was passed as physi cally qualified for service. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MILLION COMFORT KITS ARE NEEDED Red Cross Circulars Tell in Detail How They Can Be Made Washington, Sept. 15.—Half a mil lion practical circulars on the mak ing of comfort kits and bags were issued to-day by the American Red Cross. The circulars can be obtained on application at any Red Cross chapter. A million comfort kits are to be made at once for the men of our army and navy. A million more will be made for the Russian revo lutionary army as a pledge of cheer to the allied armies on the eastern front. The Red Cross is to be under no expense for these Kits, all being provided as gifts from the women who wish to make them. Miss Florence Marshall, director of (he women's bureau, announced that the circular embodied the sugges tion of the War Department, of Gen eral Pershing and of Major Grayson M. P. Murphy as to wnat the men w-anted. Three types of kits are sug gested, a simple bag with draw string and two with pockets, one for the trenches and one suitable for hospital use. Anything similar will be gladly welcomed. The kits are to be made of plain khaki. Colored cre tonne has not been advised Because it is dangerously visible when carried by troops at the front. The circular is illustrated with diagrams of each type of bag. It lists the personal equipment given to each man by the War Department in or der that women may not duplicate these articles in tilling the comfort kits. But it also notes that the regular outfit of any soldier Is liablo to be lost or destroyed and that ad diitonal supplies even of his necessi ties may be welcome to him at the front. The Red Cross commissioner in France has advised about comfort kits as follows: "They should contain pipe and to bacco pouch, heavy socks, handker chiefs, wash cloths and soap, mouth organ or game, pencil, writing paper or pad and envelopes, and, if not too expensive, tlngle-bladed > knife and spoon. "They should be made of stout material so that they can be used In all sorts of practical ways. "They should have, if possible, an American ilag sewed on the outside." Materials for making the kits can be procured by the chapters from the Red Cross division supply serv ice. Individuals may purchase their materials from the chapters or from retail stores. Certain articles, like the combination knives and spoons, may be had from the division supply service. The suggestion for hospital kits descibes the making of a souvenit pocket, where the invalided soldier may store his little collection of treasures which more often than not includes a scrap of shell or the bul let that brought him to the hospital. No playing cards are to be included In the kits that go to Russia and no mouth organs or knives and scissors for the hospital kits. A list of additional articles is sug gested that may be added if the indi viduals desire to have their bags particularly full of plums for the man "out there": Blotting paper, chewing gum, chocolate (if wrapped in tinfoil), corn plasters, collapsible cups, com pressed tea tablets, compressed malted milk tablets, scrapbook con taining good story or jokes, gaiter laces (khaki color), garters, knife (two-bladed, such as boy scouts use), marbles, nail brush, nail file, pin ball with pins, puzzles, scissors (fold ing in sheath), water-tight match box, postcards, shoe laces (black for the navy, khaki-oolored for the army), slippers (especially for hos pital kit), talcum powder, tape (white, black or khakl-colored), toi let paper. Completed articles should be sent, it possible, to the nearest Red Cross chapter. When this cannot be done, they should be sent directly to the Red Cross division supply service in the nearest of the following cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, New Orleans, St. Louis, Clev eland, Chicago, Min neapolis, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle.

Ties Himself in Knot . to Escape Army Service Denver, Col. —He amhled, liump shouldered. yesterday Into the head quarters of Board 83. "I'm Kills London, and I claim ex emption." he announced. "Why?" Inquired the chairman. "Because I'm only 4 feet 11 inches tall." But when the doctors compelled Ellis to unwind himself they decided he must have used his own feet as a measuring: unit, for London had lengthened'himself until he crowded the six foot mark. "Anyway, I got plenty of people depending on me, and I can prove It," he flung back when he had been accepted. /' 0, Pa.

U. S. Navy Gets New Device to Fight U-boats Washington, Sept. 14. —, Great Britain and the United States are ex perimenting with an antisubmarine device which is said to be more promising than any of its predeces sors. The nature of the invention is not disclosed, but even representa- tives of the British Government, who have been disappointed often In th past and who are naturally less opti mistic than our own Navy men, are hopeful. In addition, the convoy sys tem is being extended and is still proving successful, which probably accounts for the reduction in losses announced last week. All In all, the submarine situation is believed to be better in hand than at any previous time. Or, to put it another way, the defense against Ü boat attack has more than kept pace with the improvements in U-boats themselves.
