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.

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.
