STATE COLLEGE TO
TRAIN SOLDIERS
Plan to Have Uncle Sam Take
Over Institution For
War Preparation
Ta make State College a national
institution instead of a state. Uncle
Sam taking over the whole estab
lishment, is the proposal made to
the board of State's directors who
met in Harrisburg yesterday. It was
accepted unanimously and enthusi
astically.
If this arrangement goes through
men will be brought ,from southern
cantonments by the hundreds, for
there is accommodation for 3,000 in
the State dormitories. 'This may
eliminate the usual summer classes.
It is the governments idea, explain
ed Dr. Edwin S. Sparks, president
of the college, to teach the soldiers
In fifty-five classes, giving special
courses in automobile driving, ma
ihine repair, engineering, road
building and other branches. As a
lirst step toward making this
epochal shift the board of directors
yesterday voted to close the regular
college nourses April 30, instead of
in mid-June.
State College is already helping
out the War Department, said Dr.
Sparks, giving special aid in war
material manufacture and agricul
tural production. Sequential classes
are being taught in ordnance store-
Keeping. aeroplane material inspec
tion, wireless telegraphy and signal
ing, and the use of trucks and trac
tors. The college has furnished
more than 400 undergraduates for
various lines of military duty.
The trustees elected the following
officers: President, H. Wilton
Mitchell, Pittsburgh: vice-president,
J. G. White. New York: secretary,
Edwin E. Sparks; treasurer, D. W.
Pect, State College: executive com
mittee, K. S. Bayard, Pittsburgh:

"DICK" ZOLL,
Sergeant "Dick" Zoll, Engineer
Corps, from ''somewhere on the
ocean," writes an entertaining let
ter, full of news and full of loyalty,
to liis father and mother, Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Zoll, 240 North Four
teenth street. He was almost in
port and had been on the water
fourteen days. He had the good luck
to escape sea sickness, and was sur
rounded by a dozen torpedo boat
destroyers, U. S. N.
"Don't \Vorry about me," he says,
"as I am coming along fine. I went
to bed last night and we must keeo
hi: our clothes on, so in turning over
in my sleep 1 broke the hair spring
'n pop's watch. Now, I am out o£
luck.
"We get lots of good stuff to edt
on ship board; only two meals but
lots of it. The lights go out at 4.30
every afternoon and go on again at
6.30 in the morning. That is to
guard against submarines., Aii
smoking is cut out when the lights
go out. There are about eight
transports in our fleet.
"My men are starting to get hap
py now; they know they are going to
land very soon. They sure were wor
rieu about the submarines. 1 don't
care much now, as a fellow only has
once to die, but X would like to come
back to the U. S. A. How is Bill
Gardner and the rest of the boys?
I want all the fellows to know that
there is nothing yellow about me.
Tell "Ike" 1 often think of him and
the rest of the boys.
As I write we are passing the
mainland of Spain, December 10.
We can see French battleships all
around us aftd there are a lot of air
planes over head. So you may know
wo are well protected. We are pass
ing tlirbugh the Bay of Biscay and
they say it is the roughest piece of
water in the world. If I had it
to do over again I would have en
listed in the Navy. It sure is some
sport on board a ship. We will be in
to-night, so after getting on dry
land don't worr£, because we will
have a chance there. I often think
tibout you people; it helps pass the
time away going hack over the
past."

John Galsworthy, the famous
English novelist, who has written
quite a few stories of the Great War,
thinks the greatest German fault is
lack of humor. Galsworthy has de
voted himself to war work and has
been in a French hospital back of
the firing line; he also believes the
allies will triumph through their
sentiments and sense of humor.

death of John Alexander.

for the old National Guard units and
increased the water supply and
highways. Abundant equipment for
the summer tour of the Guards
men has been ordered and it is also
planned to have the new militiamen
practice at the rifle ranges. Ar

Militia will replace the old Guard
in all respects.

which it is feared has caused havoc
in some parts of the state. Inspec
tions to see if any pests have infec
ted trees are also being urged as
desirable spring work, while clear

Max A. fiqyer Is Held For
Shooting T. \V. Wade,
at Hagerstown-
Hagerstown, Md., Jan. 22.—The cor
oner's jury impaneled to investigate
the death of T. Webster Wade, uged
28, of Buena Vista, Pa., who was shot
and killed by Max A. Boyer. a promi
nent young businessman of Hagers
town, in the tatter's home late Satur
day night, after hearing testimony ot
several witnesses, returned a verdict
charging Boyer with tile death of
Wade. Later Boyer was released in
110,008 ball by Judge M. L. Keedy,
of the circuit court. Bond was fur
nished by Boyer's father.
The tragedy shocked the city when
it became known, owing to the prom
inence of the Boyers. Mrs. Boyer Is
a daughter of John D. Swartz, a for
mer prominent merchant, while her
husband is a son of David H. Boyer,
one of the leading businessmen of
this city. Mr. Boyer is employed by
the firm of Boyar and Heard, coal and
grain dealers, and is well known.
The shooting followed the discovery
of Wade in-the house when Boyer
returned home. He found Ills wife
acting strangely and taking a search
light he went upstairs and discovered
Wade ('Touching In a clothespress.
Wade, it is asserted, leaped toward
Boyer. who was armed with a 32-cal
iber pistol. He began firing as Wade
advanced toward him and continued
shooting as he backed down a stair
way. Wade tumbled down the stairs

body, one striking the heart.
French Treat Yankees

Harrisburger Over There
Arthur H. Doolittle, 1610 Chestnut

Private Carroll W. Fitzgerald, who
is now with the expeditionary forces
m France, Battery G, Eighth Regi
ment. After expressing his grati
tude for some boxes sent to him,
Fitzgerald intimates tliat the life
he leads is pretty strenuous. Speak
ing of the people and country, he
says:
"The French certainly do treat
us good; they almost went wilo
when the first U. S. troops landed.
We did not touch here first. Eng
land was our first stop and we
stayed there about a week, and, be
lieve me, I was certainly glad to get
on land again. I did not care where
it was and I did not see very much
of the country. But England is a
beautiful land; I never saw so many
sheep, every field has some grazing.
Everything is run differently in
these foreign lands. Their passen
ger coaches are divided into small
rooms seating eight people each.
There are plenty of beautiful parks,
too. The girls run the street cars,
drive milk wagons, tend bar in the
saloons. Some class to them, too.
In France it is the same way.
Women do a good bit of work.
You see few young men, for they
were all killed off in the beginning
of the war. Tou see numbers of
children who have no parents. X
certainly do pity them. This is what
you would call a rolling country, the
trees mostly pine and planted in
rows. The houses are all made of
stone or tile, with thatched roofs.
The roads are of cobble stone and
very solid."
Fitzgerald has no fear of the out
come of the war. "I will be back in
1920," he closes. "You must all
have patience, for the U. S. troops
are going to do the rest."

What To Do For
Nervous Indigestion
"When nerves go wrong they always
strike at your weakest spot. When
this spot happens to be the stomach,
nervous dyspepsia results, appetite
vanishes and is replaced by an un
easy, hollow feeling that keeps up
until every nerve in your bodv seems
on edge. The food you force down
won't digest properly, and you're all
In—down and out for one day at least
so far as being really useful to your
self or anyone else is concerned.
It's the height of folly to force the
digestion of food with some pepsin
pill while the stomach nerves are in
such shape. Nervous indigestion
conies from nerves alone. (let your
nerves right and you'll feel tip top
and eat and digest what you eat as
any normal, healthy person should.
Nothing could be better for such
cases than a single Margo tablet eat
en at every meal or whenever you
feel blue or depressed and your
nerves are working overtime. Margo
is the greatest nerve tonic ever found
for nervous dyspepsia, nervous head
aches and upset nerves generally. It
calms and steadies the nerves when
they want to fly. It. stimulates and
strengthens the nerves when they ar e
dull, tired out and sluggish, and you
cannot concentrate your mind on
work. Every tablet seems to go
straight to the nerve cells and puts
ambition, vim. vitality, confidence and
courage in every Inch of your body
Kennedy's Cut Rate Medicine Store
and many other leading druggsts in
Harrisburg and vicinity sell these
Margo tablets, 40 to a package, on a
positive guarantee that ir they do not
bring results and give satisfaction
the money paid for them will be re
turned, and scores of people right
hers in town can testify t their mar
velous efficiency.
