CITY COUNCIL
LETS REFUSE
PROBLEM DRAG
Officials Do Nothing to Pre
vent Repetition of Last
Winter's Fiasco
Members of Council, Commission
ers-elect and otficr city officials who
went to Wilkes-Barre to Inspect the
piggery maintained there by a con
tractor who collects garbage in the
city, were expected tq return to Har
i isburg late this evening. Recently
Health Officer J. M. J. Kaunick vis
iird the piggery and explained in
part, the system in use there by the
contractor. Before awarding a con
tract for garbage, collection and dis
posal the officials decided to see lidw
successful the piggery method is.
All over the city residents are ex
pressing grave doubt as to whether
the city can equip itself in about
seven weeks to make ash collections.
The contract with the Pennsylvania
Reduction Company ends in that
time and equipment is not obtain
ed by that time and a collection
bureau organized to handle the
work a number of citizens predict
a repetition of conditions existing
last winter when ashes were piled up
it: every yard in the city.
Weeks ago ex-Commissioner Dun
kle introduced an ordinance au
thorizing the organization of an ash
and garbage inspection bureau and
the appointment of a superintendent
with assistants. While the ordinance
was passed finally the Commission
ers have done nothing toward the
organization of a bureau, and with
Mie exception of an estimate which
if being made on the probable cost
of municipal ash collections, no pro
press has been made to -make any
definite arrangements for doing the
work.
Skating Friday if Cold
Wave Does Not Abate
Assistant Park Commissioner V.
Grant Forrer announced to-day that
Wildwood Park lake and the park
ponds at Twelfth street playgrounds
and at Paxtang along the "ravine"
drive will probably be open for
skating on Friday. While the ice
has not been tested park officials
believe that after the snow lias been
cleared from the surface it will be
strong enough to support a crowd.
So far the department has been un
able to get enough men to organize
a force and remove the snow.

Why Go Away
With Printing?
It would be folly to send
to a distant city for water when
it is here in abundance; it would
he unwise to suffer delay and in
convenience in an effort to pro
cure any commodity that is
yours by the simple reaching out
and taking hold.
From a slightly differ
ing view-point it is also true that
you invite delay and disappoint
ment, with no saving in money
value by going out of town with
your printing.
It has been proven so
often that wise business men
save postage, telegraph or tele
phone tolls and are able to keep
in personal touch with their
order.

New Cave of Winds
Discovered in Ohio
Columbus, O.—A cave of winds
has been discovered in the Columbus-
Miami mining field, near the state
line north of Duapaw. The
wind is so strong the miners declare
their lamps are blown out the mo
ment they enter the cave. But that
isn't the only peculiar feature of the
case. It was once filled with water,
but it isn't any more, except when
the pumps at the St. Louis mines,
more than a mile away, are idle.
When the pumps are not working
water accumulates, but as soon as
they start the water disappears.

room had been charged with a
poisonous gas, the nature of which
he was unable to determine. All the
patients are expected to recover.

ships during December.
The shipping board is clearing a
right of way for its building pro

Alas, the Poor Ostrich
Falls From The Elite
Even the innocent ostrich has
been effected by the war. Plumes
used to sell at from S2O to $25
apiece. With the declaration of war,
however, society demanded econo
my. As a result the demand for
the ostrich feathers decreased 50 per
cent and the cost likewise. The best
ostrich feathers can be had now as
low as $5 each. These facts were
revealed by William L. Fisher, as
sistant curator of the Philadelphia
Museums, irt a lecture on ' Arizona
and the Grand Canyon" held in the
Commercial Museums yesterday af
ternoon.
In colored views and motion pic
tures Mr. Fisher presented the
depths of| the Grand Canyon nnd its
j surrounding scenery, particularly the
I pointed rocks overhanging its brink.
| He reviewed also the cotton fields,
f fruit orchards and grain fields,
| mines and irrigation projects, of
I which the people of Arizona are
I justly proud. Arizona, he says, is
I the home of the ostrich.

Hundreds Arc in Groat Rush
to Enter Army as
Volunteers
Six o'clock this evening is the
dead line for receiving recruits of
registered men at the local head
quarters on Market street. Lieuten
ant Leslier made this announce
ment, at the sam'fe time saying that
he was waiting advice from Wash
ington in answer to his query
whether he might continue to re
cruit men for service until to-mor
row noon.
The Harrisburg office clipped an
other high record in the last 24
hours by sending away 394 men, out
of about 650 who reported. On June
4 last 301 left Harrisburg in one
day. At noon to-day the indications
were that yesterday's total might
be overtopped.
At noon to-day 125 men arrived
from Lancaster, under Sergeant
Yingst. Sergeant Yingst has per
haps broken all records for the dis
trict, having sent 484 men from Lan
caster county into the aviation serv
ice alone. Of this number, 333 men
have been recruited by the sergeant
since the first of December. An
aviation contingent from Reading,
containing 98 men arrived to-day.
This is the fourth unit raised by
Sergeant Ileironymous in Berks

day. These men must all be ex
amined and sent on their way be
fore midnight to-night.
From Johnstown, which is in the
Harrisburg district, five hundred
men will be sent to training camps
to-day. In order to get all the men
away, it was necessary to sent Lieut.
Long, examining officer, to Johns
town, to examine the men there,
i and so avoid the great congestion
| their presence would cause at the
j local office. Three hundred and fifty
i men will be sent from Johnstown to-
I 'lay. Sergeant Blake, recruiting pub
j licity manager, ajid Corporal Blank,
' publicity officer, have come to this
city after closing a whirlwind cam
paign for a great aviation unit there.
Sergeant Blake stated that a week
ago there were only seven men en
listed in Johnstown. Though the
I efforts of Sergeant Blake, Corporal
| Blank, and Sergeant Wiley, reeruit
j ing officer at Johnstown, the 350
I men have been raised in a few days'
| time.
A New Kccord
The contingents from Altoona,
York, and a number of other cities
in the Harrisburg district, will be
sent direct from Johnstown by Lieut.
Long to-day.
The recruiting record of the Har
risburg district is a creditable one,
! and everyone connected with the
local station feels that when the
; War Department bulletins for De
cember are published, the Harris
burg district will lead #he country,
Lieut. It. W. Lesher and his staff de
serve a lot of credit for their work
in the recent campaign is the opin
ion of those who know the work
thai lias been done.
Fifty-three men have been en
listed from Harrisburg since Satur
day. Lieut. Lesher said that there
have been about a hundred applica
tions for examinations by young men
of the city to-day. Total ligures can

for the draft, or men who wish to
ply their trade during their period

Austrian Property Is
Safe During the War
Postmaster Sites received the fol
lowing statement this morning issued
by A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property
Custodian, which is of special interest
to subjects of Austria-Hungary in
this country.:
"Declaration of war with Austria-
Hungary will not change the status of
citizens or subjects of Austria-Hun
gary resident in this country. Such
persons are not included within the
term 'enemy' as employed in the Trad
ing and Knemy act. and their property
in Mils country will not be interfered
with in any way.
"Deposits in the Postal Savings
Bank^Qf■ the United States, and de
posits in other banks and banking
institutions, belonging to citizens or
subjects of tho Austria-Hungarian
Empire, resident in this country, are
not liable to seizure by the Govern
ment and will not be taken into cus
tody by the Alien Property Custodian.
There is no reason why such persons
should be concerned abcut their prop
erty, real or personal, or their funds
In bank, or securities or other invest
ments."
Formal Examinations in
High Schools Abandoned
Formal examination in Central
High school have been abolished this
year. This plan was adopted by Prin
cipal H. S. Dibble, of Central, and Dr.
Charles B. Fager, principal of Tech
High' It. undoubtedly lias the approv
a I of both student bodies.
At Central all students will be re
quired to take two period tests in
'every subject at the end of each quar
ter. Two days will be required for
one day's program. Students who
have vacant periods will not have to
report for them at school. The tests
at th eend of the first and third quar
ters will cover the work of those
terms only. At the end of the second
and fouth quarters the tests will
cover the work of the entire pre
ceeding term.
"Exams." For Delinquents
All students must take their quar
terly tests and those who have un
satisfactory records in übsence and
tardiness, will have to undergo for
mal examinations. In case of tardi
ness for only one or two subjects, a
day enams. are to cover only those
particular subjects. In case of ab
sence exams, will cover every sub
ject.
MAY SEND SELECTED MEN
Orders have ben received from
the State Headquarters by the dis
trict draft board sitting in session at
the Capitol, to send any selected
men who have received their call to
service to a training caonp as soon
as they desire. This action was taken
in view of the fact that a number
of men who were called to the serv
ice through the draft, gave up their
positions to spend the time with
their families, and as a result are
now in straightened circumstances.
Several nearby boards have sent
men to their camps prior to their
call to service.
No more Austrians will be sent
as a part of the county quota. No
regulations regarding the Austrians
have bene issued as yet.
Wm. Strouse
A Step in Advance
Wm. Strouse's Store
Will not be open Evenings This Week
I We favor the closing of stores in the evenings before Christmas.
We will be more than happy when all the stores of Harrisburg
will close every evening before Christmas.
The holiday bnsiness is always heavy and the salespeople must
shoulder the extra burden of the additional hours during the
Christmas buying period.
We feel certain that the public, generally, favors the day time
shopping.
Our store has always held to high ideals in merchandising and
store methods and we are keenly sincere in giving the public the
usual satisfactory service for which our store is noted.
But a store must also be considerate of its salesforce, and to show
our appreciation of the efforts made by our store family we will
not add extra unnecessary night work to their duties.
The Public Will Understand
And Will Appreciate This Move
We would gladly welcome a co-operative move by all the stores
of Harrisburg to close every evening before Christmas, in the
future.
Rest for the salespeople, bright and cheerful daytime work, make
for better service, higher efficiency and a happier and better
pleased customer.
