CITY VOICES PRAYER FOR ITS FIGHTING MEN Harrisburg Churches Appeal Divine Aid For De mocracy's Cause tvery Harrisburg church and mis sion in the city held a service of grayer yesterday, in compliance with •fte request made by the President, Governor and the Mayor, that a day of prayer for success of Ameri can arms, be given up. In many of the churches, stirring sermons on the war and on the value of prayer, brought the day of prayer closer to flany people. At a special service in the Market rquare Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. George Edward Hawes read the names of the ninety members of the congregation who had entered the service of their country, and aft er a fervent prayer for the success of the allied troops, he gave an elo quent address. "Prayers for Victory; Prayers and Victory." Citing Tours, Chalons, Trafalgar, Waterloo, Manila Bay, Gettysburg and other turning points in world i onflicts, the speaker showed how the power of God had intervened in each of these cases. "The Battle of Gettysburg," he said, "wm the result of the day of prayers and humiliation proclaimed by President Lincoln. To day the greatest mobilization which has taken place since we entered the war, is going on. We must face the situation. There are no headlines in the newspapers, but if they have bulletin boards in the City of Diving God, they are receiving the greatest news in years—America as a nation is praying! This mobilization of the praying forces of the country will mean more than the mobilization of foodstuffs, of arms, of men. We are bringing together a national people, through a proclamation written by a President, a Governor and a Christian Mayor, calling on us in the name of Christ to unite in prayer. It is the most Christian document of many years. The nation has answered, and is praying for victory in arms through our mediatorial king, Jesus Christ." Honor-rolls and service flags were presented at various churches throughout the city. A seventeen star service flag was unfurled at Cov enant Presbyterian Church, and in other churches of the city, pastors delivered sermons and made prayer ful appeals for victory of the United States.

I MONDAY EVENING, FRESH AIR NEEDS ARE CONSTANT Commissioner Dixon Says That Hospitals Should Con sider the Question Patients in hospitals often do not get the fresh air they should have unless it is summer time declares Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commis sioner of Health, In some observa tions upon the prime importance of fresh air in hospitals as well as the home. The Commissioner says that man has reached his present state development because he appre ciated the value of fresh air and that it is now recognized as essential to maintenance of health. Dr. Dixon says: "Owing to the various demands ot civilization we find it hard to be where we can best earn u livelihood and at the same time dwell in an at mosphere sufficiently pure to main tain perfect health. Not only the medical profession, but now the gen eral public, appreciates that in the cure of tuberculosis of the lungs i fresh air is essential, and, therefore, all our best hospitals are built and managed so that the patients may receive the maximum of fresh air. "Purity of air is necessary for the sick. This is often lost sight of by patients and those to whose care they are entrusted. During the con valescence of patients from acute diseases in cold weather, we find 4n homes and hospitals where there are the greatest luxuries that those in attendance on the sick often neglect maintaining the regulation tempera ture. The patient does not get his fresh air unless it happens to be summer. Physicians, internes and nurses, who have to be up and down at all times of the day and night are often thoughtless of those whom they serve and often fail to dress themselves sufficiently for protec tion against the cold air that the patient in bed should receive if those in charge are to get the best results. They should measure the tempera ture of the room by a thermometer and not by their own feelings. This is an important fact to be remem bered by both patient and care takers."

JACKSON URGES 'SAFETY TALKS' Commissioner Brings Inspect ors to This City For a General Conference The seven inspectors of the field forces of the Department of Labor and Industry, whose exclusive duties are to investigate industrial accidents resulting in death or serious injury to workers, were summoned to Har risburg to-day by Commissioner John Price Jackson to receive in structions on safety talks to be given to the employes at plants where a fatal or serious accident has recently occurred. At this conference, a code of In structions, also will be compiled,— from the experience of these inspec tors who are constantly investigating causes of fatalities and serious in juries in the Industries, —to guide the general inspectors in their daily search for danger points in indus trial plants. Commissioner Jackson in discuss ing to-day's conference said: "When a fatality or serious injury occurs to a worker in any Pennsyl vania plant, one of these special in spectors goes to the plant as soon as possible after the accident. He in vestigates the accident thoroughly to learn Its causes and not only gives recommendations and orders to pre vent a recurrence of the accident but submits a complete report to the department and not one of the investigated cases is closed until the safety recommendations have been fulfilled. "As these inspectors arrive at plants shortly after the death or seri ous injury of one of the employes, it is obvious that the time is ripe for a straightforward talk on safety and carefulness to the fellow-work men of the victim. "These Inspectors here to-day, aro being schooled to give just such talks, not with elocutionary nor ora torical flourish, but in a plain blunt manner at a time when the wo:k men are most receptive to recom mendations for constant carefulness and the need of all mechanical safe guards. "The experiences of these inspec tors, in examining the places where accidents occur, unquestionably gives them broader knowledge of details of danger than can be gained by the average general inspector. Conse quently experiences of these special Inspectors are beinir reviewed for the purpose of compiling a code of in structions to guide oth?r inspectors in their constant watch for danger points." The inspectors summoned, for to day's conference, include R. D. Young, Harrisburg; Frank Moore, Pottsvllle; George W. Nape, Scran ton; George M. Dunlap, Williams port; C. C. Black, Philadelphia: Thomas Quinn and S. E. Richardson, Pittsburgh. Joy in France Over American Shots in War Paris.
