O'NEIL URGES TREE PLANTING Suggests That Fruit Trees Be Placed Along the High ways of Commonwealth State Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil wants the highways of Pennsylvania lined with oxheart cherries and prime apples, that the traveler may have the shade and the land owner the fruit. A year oc BO ago Governor Martin G. Brum baugh suggested that more trees be planted along the State highways and suggested nut trees. State For estry and Game officials urged the small cherry so that the birds wbuld havo food. The Highway Commis sioner, who received several letters from orgartizations and persons in trested in tree planting since he as sumed office, declared after his re turn from some tours that too many of the roads of Pennsylvania were "shadeless ribbons" and that he was for the trees. "I have sent a letter to engineers and road superintendents telling them to have their foremen and workmen interest owners of prop erties along State highways in the proposition to plant fuvor of the fruit trees,"""said he. "We have lots of roads that are without shade and these ribbons are awful during the summer months. Tree planting could remedy -that. Arbor Day should be observed by planting trees along roads. "My idea is that we could get farmers, civic organizations, forestry associations, conservation bodies and schol children interested in planting trees. My advice would be not to plant a tree more than a foot outside of the fence line because some day we will be building wider roads in this old State of ours and I do not want to see any growing trees cut down. I hope that this intima tion of wider roads will go home. There are a lot of curves that I want to see widened. That is bound to come. , "I believe there are splendid pos sibilities for roadside planting of trees. The oxheart cherry is my fa vorite; it's ornamental and will fur nish shade and fruit; grow high and leafy and yet not so dense as to pre vent dry roads. The apple is an other tree that can be trained well. They can both be made profitable to the owners and pleasant to travelers, while if people do not want to plant fruit trees there are the red oak and the sugar maple. They an Penn sylvania trees." WOMEN CAN RUN ELEVATORS NOW State Industrial Board Makes a Definite Buling in Be gard to Their Work There is no why women above eighteen years of age may not be employed as elevator operators in department stores, apartment houses and elsewhere according to •an announcement made by Dr. John Price Jackson, State Commissioner of Labor and Industry, for the State Industrial Board. The matter was formally submitted to the board from several sections of the state and the board held that eighteen years was the minimum legal age for elevator operators, male or fe male. The board has decided that the child labor act of 1915 does not permit the employment of minors between 14 and 18 as railroad sec tion hands, a ruling made at the request of a number of persons. It has also been held that "No minor under 18 years of age shall be em ployed in any tanning establishment where the employment specifically pertains to the tanning process." The action of the board in re gard to employment of women in certain branches of explosive man ufacturing plants has been sent out and will be given practical tests.

Mishler, Philadelphia, comprising the commission appoint ed by the Governor, in connection with the National Memorial Reunion of the Blue and the Gray, to be held at Vicksburg, Miss., October 16-19, have returned from a visit to Vicks burg, where they made arrangements for the care of the survivors of the four Pennsylvania regiments and one battery, who shall attend the jubilee and who participated in the siege of that city which culminated in its surrender on July 4, 1863. They state that, under the super vision of Colonel Willard D. Newbill, U. S. A., and his staff, the work of installing tho camp, located in the Vicksburg National Military Park, will soon be completed for the cele bration which is "in commemoration of a half century of peace and good fellowship which happily exists throughout the republic." The commission being early on the ground, was enabled to procure an advantageous site and commodious tentage on "Grant's Way." for the veterans of the Fofty-flfth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first, One Hundredth regiments and Durell's battery, comprising all of the Pennsylvania troops at the siege. A tent is also to be erect ed for the use of the Governor and his staff should they be able to at tend. The grounds will be illuminated by electric lights. A spur of the rail road will run into the grounds and the veterans will be detrained within a short distance of their various camps to which they will be piloted by Boy Scouts. Good water in abund ance is being piped"lnto the encamp ment. The commissary department will be handled by experts and all food will be served hot at the tables which will be waited upon by numer ous attendants. The commission suggests that the veterans who attend provide them selves with lunches for the trip. The commission was enthusiastic ally received by the officials of the camp and the citizens of the city. The old Confederates refer with praise to the inscription on the Penn sylvania State memorial. It is as fol lows: "Here brothers fought for their principles; here heroes died for their country, and a united people will forever cherish the precious legacy of their noble manhood." NEW BOARD IS HAVING TROUBLE Civil Service Members Ex periencing Difficulties in Interpreting Law The new civil service board, which held a meeting last night, is experi encing considerable trouble In formu lating rules that will coincide with the strict interpretation of the new law dealing with the qualifications of applicants for the city police force. From present results attained the board can do nothing more than ex amine applicants and advise with the City Commisioners as to the fitness of men rceommended for the police force, yet when the board began a search for a code of rules to regulate the jxaminations It was learned that all the boards who offered informa tion are boards that have almost un limited powers and have rules which cannot possibly be enforced in Har r'sburg or-other Pennsylvania third class cities under the act of As sembly. Fill Vacancies The board will have nothing to do with the men now on the police force and It is the board's opinion that none of the bluecoats can be dis missed except by Council, and then only after charges have been lodged and proved. in other words, the board merely will hold examinations when vacancies occur and its duties will end with making recommenda tions to Council. Many cities have recommended a limit of from 21 to 31 years for po licemen, yet if that regulation were adopted all the applicants would be men who are subject to the army draft. Some cities have a regulation of from 24 to 34 years. If the draft ages are adopted for the civil serv ice regulation, it may be /ikely that the city will be obliged to get future patrolmen from those who fall to pass the army examination. If a higher age limit was adopted, and a law enacted to retire patrolmen, some policemen would be pensioned after only a few years' service.
