4 U. S. Asks Owners of High Grade Lens to Sell Them The Harrisburg Police Depart ment has oaen requested by the War Department to aid the United States in procuring the lenses which are needed to thoroughly fit up the air piunes now being built. The chief of police received a number of cir culars from the government ex ■ plaining just what kind of lenses the government needs. These leaf lets were distributed to the jewel ers, opticians and pawnbrokers of the city by Detective Speece. The government is willing to pay good prices for all lenses purchased. The circulars state that the lenses can not be procured from Germany, which has heretofore been the source of supply. The Bureau of Standards of the United States Department of Commerce is perfecting a substitute for the German "Crown barium" glass, when American manufactur ers will be able to make leryses for the government. * Moran Names Additional Aids For Keister Parade Eleven additional aids have been appointed to help Marshal Moran In the parade to take place Saturday evening in honor of the election of Daniel L.

PHILLIPS It was positively encouraging to see the large audience of interested people at the organ recital given on the newly remodeled Mohler organ in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church last evening by Professor Samuel A. Baldwin, of New York City. About one hundred people were obliged to stand. An air of quiet but deep ap preciation prevailed throughout the entire recital. St. Stepnen's Church, whll it is cozy and co nfortabie, has that ti'inetlint about It that Instill-* into an r.ud;erce the ap":it of atten tive listening, and so, the program was heard with a quiet reverance that really ejcalted tne music heard. The program' opened with "Finlan dia" by Jean Sibelius, the real foun der of a natural Finnish school of composition. This composition "Fln landia" so roused the dormant patri otism of Finland that the Russian government forbade its performance throughout Finland. A turbulent restlessness and revolutionary defi ance characterize the work, yet there is apparent a newness of outlook, a rugiifed grandeur that impresses and thril.'s. The Adagio of Symphony VI, by Widor, is characteristic of the French school, it is full of color ot the quieter tints, giving charm and poetic fancy free play. Mr. Baldwin did not make the mis take tiiat many organists do, namely, put tile Bach number on first to get rid of it; instead, he very properly and tastefully led uu to it. and the audience was therefore prepared to enloy It. which they did. The most impressive number came next—the prelude tc "Parsifal." by Richard Wagner. P'om the opening measures to the close this introduc tion to the opera itself holds the listener almost spellbound. Richard Wagner was not afrr.id to express himself boldly, and as we come to understand him we find the thought anu the music convincingly weldeff together. "Chanson du Soir (An Evening Seng)" played from manuscript and co.mposed by Ernest H. Sheppard, proved to be a "pretty" piece intro ducing the chimes. "Oh, the Lilting Springtime," by Charles A. Stebbins and dedicated to Mr. Baldwin, was quieter ip effect than the name would suggest. The opening movement in ce-to v til e. was followed by a more pastoral effect, not, however, vtiy i_. •filial or essentially pastoral it. color. "Will o' the Wisp," by G. B. .Nevin, was effective in coloring and well conceived, with Its shim mering lights and shadows and weird The Grieg numbers have been heard cflen, so need no comment here. The "Variations de Concert." by Joseph Bonnett, the French organist, pfovtrt to be a show piece for the organ and organist, but there is absolutely no originality in the composition jtself. It is not coherent to begin with, and so we will not waste time on it. The group of Russian compositions contained "Chanson Plaintive." by Ivan Lynersk; "Prelude Pastorale." by Anatole Lladoff, and the C sharp minor prelude by Rachmaninoff. All three were Interesting. The first two were short, of exquisite workmanship and delicacy, and suggested the folk song as their source. The second' number, "Pastorale," was especially well conceived. It suggested a peace ful, contented land, with the sunset Angelus summoning all to prayer. The chimes were used in this with a legitimate and telling effect. The third numDer, the Prelyde, of course has been heard a great deal as a pianoforte number, but it Is ex ceedingly effective on tile • organ, even if we should take issues with Mr. Baldwin's interpretation of it. "Schubert's Serenade," his first popular song but not his greatest, was not arranged entirely to our fancy as we heard it last night. The imitative parts were overdone, a lit tle too closely woven for clarity in the latter half of the piece. The Tocatto from the Fifth Sym phony, by Widor, is & brilliant num ber, and showed the resources of the organ and performer to full advan tage. Mr. Baldwin is an organist of con siderable ability. He has splendid technique, which he uses with fine taste and discernment. His pedal work was accurate and firm and the whole program reflected musicanship o( a high order. The organ is ade quate in all respects for the church and adds one more splendid instru ment to Harrisburg's growing list.

War Activities in Capital Increase the Population Washington.—The population of | the City of Washington has increas- , ed at least 50,000 since the war be- . gan. It is natural that the capital city, the center of governmental nc- i tivities, should show this marked ef fect of the most extensive prepara- , tion for war ever undertaken by anyj country. A steady stream of new i appointees to the great civilian arniyi pours into the city; the streets hum' , with activity; everybody is busy and earnest; on every hand are the sure signs of a complete organization with a fixed purpose. At the request of the United States Civil Service Commission the Wash ington Chamber of Commerce has; undertaken the work of directing to ' suitable rooming and boarding places! the new arrivals who are not acquainted in the city. Hundreds of ' desirable rooms, with or without 1 board, are listed, and at very mode-j rate rates. Application for accom-l modatlons can be made by new up-1 polntees through correspondence be- i fore leaving home or by calling at I the office of the Washington Cham-j ber of Commerce.

MUMC COMMITS SUICIDK lIATHUK THAN BE SHOT Bedford, Ind.—Rather than be shot to death because a veterinarian had pronounced her crazy, Maude, a mulw valued at J250, belonging to George liays, a Lawrenceport farmer, com mitted suicide. The animal had become so crazy that It had become necessary to tie her with a strong rope to keep her from beating herself to death against the side of a barn. As there was no known cure for a crazy mule. Sanders, a veterinarian who was called to attend her, de creed she should be shot. Her execu tioner went for a revolver, but before he returned the mule had flipped the rope around her neck, and lunging backward, choked herself to death.
