10 SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE WITH EMPEY The Lone Tree Sentinel —OR— Ghosts on the Firing Line By Arthur Guy Empey Author of "Over the Top," "first Call," Etc. (Copyright, 1918, McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) One aunny afternoon our gun'i Itrew was Bitting: on the Are step of a yront Line trench, just in front of Commecourt Wood. Happy Houghton -was busily en gaged in rigging up a flash screen to hide the flare of our gun, which we were to mount on the parapet that aiight. Sailor Bill was sewing a piece of ikhaki cloth over his tin hat, because the night previous while on sentry go, standing in the moonlight, with his head over the top the rays from •the moon had reflected from his steel helmet, and a couple of Ger man bullets had knocked up the ■dirt within a few feet of his head. As was usual with him. Hungry Foxcorf t was wrestling with a tin of 'bully beef, while "Curly'' Wallace was hunting for cooties.

CROUP & SOKE THROAT RELIEVED IMMEDIATELY If Your Child Hawks and Coughs, Simply Apply Cam phorole to Throat and Chest So many people neglect their children's cough until it may develop into whooping cough, croup, or bronchitis. Then you would wish you had a jar of CAMPOROLK handy. It quickly touches the spot and gives sure relief. The remarkable success of CAMPHOROLE is entirely due to Win tergreen, Menthol and Camphor, prepared in • synthetic way to give results. CAMPHOROLE is recomended for Whoop ing Cough. Croup. Broncho-pneumonia, Asthma. Sore Throat. Tonsilitis. Pleurisy and Neuralgia. v At all druggists.^ TECHBOYSSTUDY NATIONAL LIFE War Conditions and Big Busi ness Problems Are Taken Up Every student of the Technical High School Is studying the lessons in community and national life, a series of leaflets published each month during the school year by the Department of Education at Wash ington, wliieh is co-operating with the United States Food Administra tion. The leaflets treat of every phase of the various conditions as they have been produced by the war-time con ditions. Some of the leaflets show how the National Government par ticipates through its executive de partments in the economic organiza tion of the country, while others treat of the necessity for economy in every field. Manufacturing and dis tribution of products are also dis cussed. The lessons are graded, and are used in the high schools as well as the intermediate schools of Har risburg. "A Word a Day" is the slogan that has been adopted by the sections of the junior class in the study of Eng lish. New words are gathered from ccnversation and reading, and each one is to be used three times a day until It becomes a part of the stu dent's vocabulary. The plan has been adopted by the sections taught by Professor A. B. Wallize. The effect of the war upon fiction and poetry is also attracting the attention of the students. War-time conditions produce a different kind of poetry and fiction than is written in times of peace, is what they are discov ering. Elected Historian The Camera Club will meet next Wednesday afternoon after school in the science lecture room. The mem bers will discuss "General Darkroom Conditions." Earl D. Schwartz will preside. Paul Shank has been elected his torian of the junior class. He suc ceeds one of the members who left school. Gilbert Ebner is president; Andrew Musser, vice-president; Wil liam Fortna, treasurer, and Kenneth Boyer, secretary. A. B. Kuhn, a former Chambers burg teacher, has charge of the classes in Eatln. Prior to coming to Tech he taught at Bloomfield, N. J. Professor Kuhn succeeds Merrill W. Yost, who was recently drafted into the National Army. William Watson, a member of the senior class, sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning" as a tenor selection yesterday morning during chapel. The entire school sang the chorus. Professor J. W. Campbell is fram ing a course of reading of books for beys. The frame will be hung in the hall. The selections are made from a report on home reading by a com mittee of the National Council of Teachers of English. Reports have been mailed out to the students of the upper clashes for the first sftmsster. The ex aminations were held last week. Miss Saul, the secretary, will mail the remainder of the reports during the coming week. Predicts Great Demand For Motor Trucks Although their are large govern ment demands and the steadily in creasing volume of domestic business the Packard Motor Car Company is able to meet deliveries. This is due to a vastly increased factory production. In commenting upon this situation Mr. B. B. Harrington, manager of the Harrisburg Branch of Packard Motor Car Company of Philadelphia, states that the retail sales of motor trucks is exceeding any past record. This condition is particularly true of the points in the east and the volume of truck sales in Philadelphia and in Harrisburg is taxing the delivery situation to the greatest extent. More inquiries have been made and interest shown in motor trucks equipment by the user and by new prospecls in Harrisburg than ever before. Immediate purchase of trucks which are wanted for spring delivery is urged while is is possible to obtain the size and style of truck which may be needed. Building Operations Are Brisk Despite the War Building operations throughout the country last month maintained about the same average in construc tion work as during the nine pre ceding months, according to the American Contractor, but the total reports from 111 cities show a de crease of forty-six per cent, in com parison with 1917 figures. In Harrisburg the operations show a one per cent, increase, eight per mits being issued for work which will cost $17,450. Only twenty-five of the cities show increases, ranging from one to 625 per cent., while decreases are less than !0f per cent. Total permits issued were 10,703 for work to cost J26.''S9 082. Most of this is of the essential type, while the scarcity of residents and decrease in construction work of this kind is being reported from practically every city. Fuel Administrators Study Coal Conditions in State Fuel Administrator Ross A. llickok went to Philadelphia to-day to dis cuss with State Admln'.strator Potter the best means for taking -;are of the coal resources next spring nnd summer, in order that the shortage of the present winter will not be repeated next year. The conference is called between all Pennsylvania county fuel administrators and a representative of Dr. OSartleld. A number of changes in tho handling of coal may be announced following the conference. It is likely that a zoning system will be established and the price of coal from independ ent companies be reduced 20 cents a ton.-- Automobile Increase Efficiency and Save Time In the present upheaval the ques tion to ask oneself is: "An\ I effic ient?" says E. C. Ensminger, Dort distributer. "We all owe the best that Is in us to the great cause our country i 3 fighting for. Are you giving It? Are you making the most of your time? "The automobile Is one of the most potent means of putting you on edge for your work and getting you to it quickly. It is an all important link in the nation's transportation sysstem. It is a preserver of health, and a builder of energy. It mimin izes miles, demolishes distance. It Is the most essential of our products, for its use vitally concerns the manu -1 facturer and sale of all the others.".

Anti-Freeze Economy, Too, in the Cadillac Alcohol is given a high efficiency rating as an anti-freezing agent when used in proper solution in the radiator of motor-cars. The chief obstacle to its successful use is the fact that it evaporates very rapidly when the solution becomes heated. The Cadillac engineers have found a simple means of making sucessful the use of alcohol. Their device is "an alcohol reclaimer," which gath ers the vapor rising irom the warm alcohol and water, reduces it to liguid form and returns it to the radiator. The condenser by which this is accomplished is protected by patent rights. It is exceedingly simple in construction and entirely automatic in action, requiring no attention on the part of the operator. It consists of a small tank under tho. front floor, connected by tubing to the overflow pipes which runs from the upper part of the radiator. The tank is kept half full of the same liquid as in the cooling system. Alcohol fumes driven from the anti freezing mixture in the cooling sys tem nass through the tube and are foroed up through the cool liquid in the condenser. In bubbling through the cool liquid the fumes are condensed, returning to liquid form. As the liquid in the radiator cools and contracts a partial vacuum is formed in tho upper part of the rad iator, and atmospheric pressure on the liquid in the condenser forces surplus liquid back into the radiator. It is not unusual for condenser equipped Cadillacs to be driven long distances under heavy loads without appearable diminution of the supply of cooling liquid. A very exacting test made by the United States Signal Corps showed that only two table spoonfuls of water had been used in a drive of ninety-three miles. In another test, in Texas, during mid summer, it was found necessary to add only a gallon and a half of water to the radiator in 5,000 miles of run ning. Galion Awarded Big Culvert Contracts State Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil to-day'awarded con tracts for re-inforced concrete cul vert pipe, corrugated culvert pipe, dynamite, caps, fuse and exploders, to be used by the Maintenance Divi sion forces of the State Highway De partment during the 1918 season. In each instance the awards went to the low bidder. The Galion Iron Works, with of fices in Harrisburg, secured the con tract for furnishing fourteen, eigh teen and forty-two inch corrugated culvert pipe. The Newport Culvert Company, of Newport, Kentucky, was awarded the contract for twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty-four, thirty, thirty six and forty-eight inch ccrrugated culvert pipe. The Concrete Products Company, oI Pittsburgh, secured the contract for furnishing all sizes of re-inforc ed concrete culvert pipe. The Dupont Company, of Wil mington, Delaware, and the Aetna Explosives Company, of New York City, submitted the same prices for furnishing dynamite, caps, fuse and exploders, consequently. Commis sioned O'Neil decided to divide the contract equally between the two firms. RECEIVES MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS Thomas P.
