Kncouraging, c\ l en if not true but he follows with something that is far more substantial: "What we want almost more than anything else are cigarets and tobacco for our pipes, j It isn't simply a fancy, but real need.

I Each side is sounding the other at i this moment and occasionally these ; soundings develop into sharp en- j counters without any sequel. Such | demonstrations may be expected to j become more important and more i violent as the spring advances. The troops of every branch of the | service ha\ e a feeling of superiority and have been encouraged immen-1 sely by the arrival of increasing] numbers of Americans, whose tirst j efforts in trench warfare have shown' their high quality. Penn State to Graduate 250 Seniors Next Month State College, Pa.. March IS. — When the Pennsylvania State Col li ge celebrates its wartime com mencement. 011 April "4, a senior class of approximately 250 will be grad-' dated. This estimate was made by A. 11. Kspenshade, the college registrar. The graduating class will be consid erably smaller than those of recent years, because of the great number nf withdrawals from college for serv ice with the tlag. The School of Engineering, which is Penn State's largest and fastest growing department, will send out ninety-two graduates. The School of j liberal Arts Hill graduate twenty, the Agricultural School eighty-one. I I the School of Mines thirteen, and i Natural Science eighteen. Twenty-! ! six girls will be graduated from tile I home economics department. Dauphin County Lags in Thrift Stamp Campaign What has happened to Dauphin county in the War Savings campaign? This is the puzzle that is mystifying men who are boosting the drive. Thus far I'auphin county has only Invested $1:10,700, while York has gone over I with $177,950. This means a percapita mark of sl.lß, or !!2 cents a head more than Dauphin has contributed. Cumberland county has bought SIOX.- ">6O, or a percapita investment of SI.BB, and this is $1.02 more than Dauphin. The national campaign is set for finishing on December 31, 1918, and the campaign is now a little over $300,000,000 behind its schedule. The nation has now passed the $100,000,- 000 mark, and Washington thinks from now on things will move more lively, because much time was spent in educating the public to understand the significance of War Stamps and l?aby Bonds. 400 More Vaccinated in Roundup by City Officers City health officials last night vec einated more than 400 residents in the uptown district, visiting all houses in Seventh street, between Verbeke and Kelly, residences in C'alder and Currant streets. The vaccinations were necessitated by the discovery of another case of smallpox, the latest victim being Joe Moulton, 651 Calder street. Witii the hundreds which were vis ited last night, health authorities have vaccinated almost 1,500 persons during the last two weeks. The State Department of Health, realizing the seriousness of the .situation, has sent out letters to every employer of labor in Dauphin and Cumberland counties urging them to see that every em ploye who has not been vaccinated in five years is made immune from the disease. The letter is signed by B. F. Royer, Acting Commissioner. Sealers of Weights to Hold State Convention Inspectors of weights and measures from all cities and counties In the eastern part of the state will attend a convention to be held In Reading, March 27 and 28. It is likely that i action will be taken authorizing a I committee to make a complete report on the decision recently given by Judge McCarrell on the weight and measure laws of 1911 and the amend ment of 1913. The inspectors will probably make an effort to have a new act passed at the next session of the legislature. Harry D. Reel, city Inspector, and Harry A. Boyer, county inspector, are planning to at tend the session.
