8 Clothing For 30 Little Girls Is Badly Needed Persons in Harrisburg who have anything to give in the way of clothes for thirty little girls from this city now being cared for in the sanator iutns at Mt. Alto and Cresson should get in communication with Dr. C. R. Phillips, physician in charge of the dispens&ry, 10G North Second street. As announced by Miss Anna Hart, in charge of the statistical work for the state, these children are in need of shoes and stocking-, remnants of •materials such as outing flannel, muslin, calico and dress material of any description out of which can be made underwear and clothing. The state looks after these unfor tunate children in ample fashion, nursing them back to health with good food, all of them have to be clothed and in many cases the parents are not able to do anything so that the institutions, which have no apportionment for clothes from the state, must call upcJn the public charity. Many of the children, helped liy the nurses, learn to sew and make things for themselves. But they need materials to sliapG into garments both for their sleeping quarters and to wear in the day time.

TOBACCO IS THE GREAT NEED OF YANKSABROAD Nothing Tastes So Good as American Smokes to American Fighters Let the soldier for fame and a gen eral's name In battle got many a thwack —O! Let who will have most, who will rule the roost— .Give me but a pipe of tobacco! Those old writers had the right Idea. This little verse was scribbled by Henry Fielding, of England's pioneer novelists and a very human gentleman. If Mr. Fielding were alive to-day you can wager that he would be using his wonderful talents to stir up the public to generosity in tobac co giving. And just look what liber ties he took with the English lan guage; he must have been hard pressed for a word to rhyme with to bacco—thwack—O! But that did not bother him. He was speaking from profound depths of his nature and the thing to do was t get the thought over. Some of the Yankees over in France to-day, though without Field ing's reputation, convey the same idea in rather more vivid language. For Instance listen to our friend Tom Reilly, Reilly of the Engineers, who tells us first about how he and fifty other Yanks have been digging ditches for three months in water up to the waist and then: "I could write from now on to kingdom come and couldn't tell you how good those ci gars tasted. We just sat around all that night puffing and sayln' every once in a while 'hoiy smoke.' " Send your contributions to the Telegraph, .and have them forwarded immediately.

Ryland, a district superin tendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will be removed from his post next Monday and assigned to some other duty because of his unwilling ness to support the church's patriotic attitude, it became known here to day. Bishop Adna W. Leonard, who an nounced the change, said the decision was made when Doctor Ryland found himself unable to assist in a propos ed series of patriotic addresses. Doc tor Ryland concurred in the step. ARMY KEEDS BRICKLAYERS Iteerultlne Office™ Get Order* to Enlist All Tbe>- Can Get Washington.

WOMES OX DEIIO , CRATIC COMMITTEE New York, Dec. 12. The executive committee of the Democratic state committee yesterday adopted a reso lution under which fifteen women members will be added to its present membership of twenty-one men. PARK EXTENSION TO START WITHOUT DELAY [Continued from First Page.] highway which is to traverse the park extension on the lines of Aber deen and East streets, which will be the main highway across the. park and where the trolley line will run. To arrange for the gradual filling' in of the remainder of the extension j where cleared so that trees may be planted next year. The City's - Part To covenant with the city of Har-! risburg to give the space now oc cupied by the sidewalk on the park ■side of Third street and strips of varying width of patlc to the city for highway purposes so that Third street shall be sixty-four feet wide.! 'To ask the city to establish a fu-! ture building line for North street from Third to the railroad on the north side so that it shall also be' a sixty-four foot wide street. This does not contemplato immediate de molition of any property, but is to; govern future building. To arrange for widening of Wal- j nut street along the same plan as for Third street. To have plans made immediately for the low coping to be the base of the terraces in Third, North and| Walnut streets. To begin work as soon -is plans can be made for the "circle" it Third and Walnut streets which is to be a| joint city and state enterprise and! be the lower official entrance to the park. To start studies for the formal on- j trance at State street, where future, ceremonies will be held. This monu mental entrance will be of granite; and in keeping with the Capitol. [ To prepare specifications for the f widening of the plaza to a space j close to the line of the Hartranft statue which is to be placed at the Third and North streets entrance. Bridge at State Street The board formally went on rec ord that the bridge voted by the city of Harrisburg should be placed at State street and will call upon the city to take the necessary legal steps; to have the location changed. This! bridge will be made part of the gen eral plan and the state will take care of the approaches and esplan ade wfthin the park, the railroads where It crosses their tracks and the city the rest. It is believed the city loan will cover Its part and that the railroads will co-operate. The railroad lines will be adjust ed later on. Straightening of tracks | is being considered. The belief is that the new station will eventually i be placed on the south side of Wal nut street between Cowden street and the railroad with possible inclusion of the United States Hotel. All these details must be worked! out and there will have to bo meet- i Ings between railroad, city and state! authorities. 40.000 Yards of Fill Mr. Shreiner has contracted for 40,000 cubic yards of filling to start the work. This will be taken from various industrial plants and the new street will begin just to the west of the Technical, High school, on the line of Aberdeen street. This worki will be pushed throughout the win- • ter. For the present the old ware-| houses in the-extension will be re-1 tallied for storage purposes. The members of the board are a unit In favor of the completion of j plans and a. start of the work at; once. The Legislature made an i'p-| propriation of $350,000 for the work and public sentiment throughout the | state, as evidenced by men who, come here from all of the counties on official business, is that si park befitting the dignity of the Common wealth and the finest in the land should be created. MUNITIONS PLANT IN DELAWARE IS BURNED [Continued from First Page.] burned like tinder, and as the flames reached the loaded shells the latter began to explode and occasionally one would be hurled out of the build ing. Head of Guards Killed One man. Theodore Jacobson, of Harrison, N. J., the chief of guards, was killed, his head being blown off by one of the sheHs. So far as could be learned, no other persons were hurt either In the fire or because of the explosions, while several were slightly injured in other ways. Several were slightly hurt while running to escape the danger or to help somebody else, but none of the cases, as far as is known, was serious. Ambulances were quickly sum moned from Wilmington, while phy sicians were also called from this city and New Castle. Many Workmen Absent Duo to the fact that through an accident on the trolley line, the cur rent had been shut off, about 500 persons employed at the Bethlehem works had not reached the plant. Many of them were in the car from Wilmington which usually reaches the plant at 8 o'clock, but which was held up on the way. It also was fortunate that the fire broke out at 7.55 o'clock which was five minutes before starting time. This being the case, hundreds of operatives were on their way to work at the time but had not reached the plant when the fire started. The mill where the fire started had been temporarily closed down until the first of January and for the time being the building had been used only for storage purposes. Its chief function, in active operation, how ever, was to load and assemble the shells, but this work had been sus pended for several days. , Because the loading building in which the fire broke but was Isolated from the rest, of the plant and pro tected by earthworks, other parts of the plant were comparatively safe, although several small frame struc tures in the immediate vicinity, such as coat houses, guard office and a new pay roll office, were in the wake of the destruction and fell a prey to the flames and the bombardment also. The loss is not known but it is es timated that it might be close to $200,000. Fire Incendiary Is Belief The burned building was an inex pensive affair, hut it contained valu able machinery, in addition to the 15,000 loaded and 30,000 unloaded shells. Nobody can advance any definite idea of the origin of the fire but the incendiary theory is prevalent. No machinery was In operation at the time and there was no fire In the building, which was heated by steam from the main power plant some dis tance away; therefore It is not like ly there was any fire in the building or any activity that could have caused friction. But it Is'not known that anybody of a suspicious appear ance was seen about the place before the fire. Nearby residents, Including the In habitants of New Castle and other cities and towns, as far south as Del aware City and Port Penn, along the river, were terrorized for a time, in view of the succession of reports, caused by the exploding shells. Many persons and many houses had nar row escapes from the hurling mis- Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad. siles, which ilew In. all directions.
