Many | of the officers had much paper work to do in handing over their' affairs | to their successors. There was much sentiment in the j breaking of ties between the officers j and their friends and their old or-1 ganizations. Surprise is express ed in the discharge of Colonel Ezra H. Ripple, former commander! of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania In-! fantry, who is a tine physical speci- [ I men. Colonel Kipple is 38 years old. He will leave for his home in Scran- j ton. Pa., on Tuesday. Lieutenant Colonel Edmund H. F. i Conrad, formerly of the Thirteenth i regiment, will leave with Colonel Kipple. This is the second time fori them to leave in going out of the I service, for it was here in 1898 that I both were mustered out in the Span-1 j ish-American war. Lieutenant Colonel Marshall L.: Case, formerly of the Fourth Penn- | sylvania infantry, will leave here Tuesday. Major James F. Moore, j formerly of the First Pennsylvania I Cavalrv. already has left. Major j Samuel H. Heller, of the Fourth in- j | fantry, of Lancaster, Pa., will leave; Tuesday. The other retired officers! i will leave on either Tuesday orj ! Wednesday. ] Lieutenant Colonel Arthur S.

I Fritzinger now is attached to the | One Hundred and Third engineers, j ; The physical examination given I the retiring officers, it is said, was I \er\" rigid. One of the features of i the test was that they were requir-1 | ed to hop on first one foot and then j on the other foot fifty times, after' ! which an examination of their lieartj , was taken. Fair Prices For Food to Be Determined Tonight: ! Ft is expected that the publication I 1 of fair -wood prices will begin this | week in Harrisburg. To-night a meet- j ing has been arranged between the j grocers and the Food Administration j I authorities with the purpose of in- I forming the city twice a week what j prices are considered right. | prices refer exclusively to cash and I carry purchases, and the Food Ad- II ministration has no power to enforce their suggestions. However, this pub licity. it is intended, will notify the public where fair rates prevail so that | ii customer can get the benefit. I ! ia. m. to 11.30 p. m.. All-night cars I will be run as usual.

LOYAL WOMEN FROM COLORED CHURCH WORK FOR RED CROSS jm. ?t ■ I Among the finest worls turned in at local Red Cross headquarters is that of the workers from the Wick ersham Auxiliary, composed of wo men from the colored churches of the city. The auxiliary was organiz ed December 6, by Mrs. Lew R. Pal mer. The photograph shows a number of these enthusiastic work ers in their uniforms. "I am de lighted with their workJ> said Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, president of the local chapter. "We have very few auxiliaries which do better work than that of tnese women." Mrs. Lew R. Palmer, the organizer, has expressed her great pleasure with the excellent work which has be?n done by the auxiliary. Officers of the auxiliary are: i Drummer Boy Hidden 30 Months From Germans Dti' i'.n, After spending thirty ironths in hiding in torltory oocu- X led by <hc Germans, S. n.nc! KiM. a young Irish drummer boy, who was officially reported killed a month after war broke out, has just been re ported safe in Germany. He was taken prisoner at St. Quen tin, in August, 1914, but escaped and tried to rejoin his regiment. Unable to l%ave the town, he took refuge in the home of four spinster dressmak ers, who kept him hidden for two years and a half, until St. Quentin was evacuated by the civilian pop ulation on March G, last. He then decided to surrender, and has been sentenced to ten years' imprison ment for refusing to divulge the n;'mes of his benefactors. Charles L.

Saloons Closed Tight on First Heatless Monday Every saloon in Ilarrisburg was closed to-day and will be closed 011 the following nine heatless Mondays ordered by the National Fuel Adminis- I tration. Restaurants, hotels and clubs will likewise eliminate the sale of I liquor on these days. The uncommon [ situation was the direct result of the I edict prohibiting the heating of bar rooms in saloons, hotels, clubs and any other buildings on heatless Monday. There was complete unanimity of action on the part of Harrisburg inn keepers, whether they feared the Ji>,- 000 tine and two years' imprisonment, or because the liquor associations im mediately got busy in backing up the Government. Closing of all bars in the state was officially ordered by Thomas J. O'Connor, of Krie, president of the Sttae Retail Dealers' Associa tion. who advised "a strict compliance of the State Retail Dealers' Associa and requesting receivers of the mes sage in every county of the state to close the bars and refrain from sell ing liquor on the ten Mondays. COUNCIL TO TRY AGAIN TO ELECT ! CITY TREASURER - Commissioners llope to Clear; Muddle That lias Split Members Into Factions Election of a city treasurer vi'lll be the most' important business be fore Council to-morrow morning. After the conference on Friday evening at which three of the can didates were cleared of "charges" that had been made by one of the commissioners, it was decided to postpone any further action until to-morrow. Last week the comniis sio)i*t£ decided to nominate and bal. lot for their candidates at each roll call. It is not known whether the same course will be followed to-mor row, or whether "lists" of candi dates will be submitted and each name taken up in turn. An ordinance raising the city water rates to manufacturers and private users will probably be (intro duced. It is understood the new rates have been prepared. The mini mum rate to householders will be raised from $4 to $6. Similar in creases will be made on all other ; charges, it is said. As bids for ash collections under the three-district plan will not be , opened until Saturday, it is not like . |'y any action will be taken in con /, ncciion with the ash and garbage situation. The garbage regulations ijwere passed finally last week, and i.jliagy Brothers.

War Marriages Should Be Encouraged, Says Dr. Clara McNaughton .1, Ml mv oP'nion and in that of all .', rc \ n ! with whom 1 have asso £ during my three years' work ■in fans, the Americans are doing wrong- in their tacit discouragement of war marriages," said Dr. Clara! -1 ilacNaughton, in an address to the * | -National League of American Pen tj women in Washington. e *Prience of tjie French is - r t ? W i ar '"'id 6 ' is an immense . factor in the determination of the people and their confidence of ulti f V ii C ? ly ' , Tile married man lights better because his stake in the struggle> is greater, lie is more hopeful, and when depressed, more quickly gets back to normal. The constant thought of one who lives in the hope of his homecoming helps JRnore hardships. "French surgeons have been quick to recognize that the married' man nas an added stimulus to get well. If hopelessly crippled he is sure of devotion, and has not, like the bach elor soldier, the feeling that his fu ship lilus * devoid of companion- I or the woman the 'war mar riage is equally an incentive—not not only to do her 'bit' but-her 'all.' bh,e enters more fully into the war work, and the fact that her affections are so greatly engaged causes her to minimize the hardships which weigh so heavily upon the unmar ried. "While ill-considered and hasty war marriages are not to be defend ed on any ground, the marriage of those whose acquaintance is of long standing and whose affections are firmly llxed, should not, in my judg ment, be postponed. That we have so generally urged their postpone ment is a part of the American idea that women should be shielded as far as possible from the buffets of life. The French are taking the view that the woman has as much right to risk her all for her country as the man-soldier has. If wo are to have a long war, such marriages will mean an in crease in population of which we will stand greatly in need." Mrs. Rockefeller, Jr., Leads I. Move to Aid Girl Workers ' r Mr*. John D. Rockefeller Jr., of New York, has been appointed chair man of the housing committee of the V. W. C. A., which is working out plans for the housing of girls en gaged in war work at munitions plants, camps and cantonments. The committee has already started build ing a house at Charleston, S. C.. which will accommodate about one hundred girl workers. The house at Charles ton will be a model for hundreds of others which will be erected through out the country. • SUGAR With a view to giving the public a cor rect understanding of the sugar situation, the following FACTS are presented: Existing conditions are world wide in their effect, not in any sense local. Any consideration of the question of available sugar supply must take into account a series of ex traordinary factors. The immediate effect of the declaration of the European war was to cut off from the world's market the sugar of the Central Powers. About one-third of the world's total pro duction formerly came from within the present battlelines of Europe. The Western battlefront passes through the sugar producing territory of France and of Belgium. In conse quence, England, France and other foreign countries have competed with the United States for Cuba's cane sugar. Not only did this cause an advance in the price of raw and refined sugar, but until competition was checked by the recent agreement among the Allies, it resulted in lessening the supply available to the people of this country last fall. At the same time, an abundance of sugar—hundreds of thousands of tons —has been locked up in far-away Java, owing to the lack of ships to transport it. It is no more available than unmined gold. To provide ships to bring this sugar here —or to Europe—would withdraw them from the more important business of carrying our soldiers and their supplies overseas, as Mr. Hoover has pointed out. The nation-wide movement to save the fruit crop last sea son greatly increased the use of sugar. While the quantity in the sugar bowl was for this and other reasons lessened, this sugar is wisely stored as food in preserved fruits, jams and jellies. "Every jar of fruit preserved adds that much to our in surance of victory, adds that much to hasten the end of this conflict." Because of the increased demand for sugar, more sugar cane has been planted in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Louisiana, the chief sources from which the United States gets cane sugar. The reports from Cuba and Porto Rico make the situation more favorable than a month ago for a supply to meet the sugar needs of all who are dependent on this source—includ ing this country, our soldiers abroad and the Allies. We buy raw cane sugar in the open market and refine it. To the extent of our ability, we are co-operating with the Government to insure a fair distribution of cane sugar, to stabilize the price to the consumer and to prevent hoarding and waste. We kept our refineries working last fall so long as there was a ton of raw sugar to be had. In order to make our output of refined sugar go as widely as possible, we distribute Franklin Cane Sugars in convenient size cartons and small cotton bags. These small-size pack ages make it easy for grocers to limit sales to actual needs and to prevent hoarding. They help to prevent waste in the home. Housewives can cooperate with this plan by asking for these package sugars. It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the ap proaching period of readjustment. The refineries are now starting up and supplies of raw sugar coming forward but it will take weeks, and possibly months, for the return of normal conditions. In war-time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the interests of the public we serve.
