risburg's first annual Rose Show.!
which is being held under the aus- j
pices of the Woman's Advisory Board {
of the Central Y. M. C. A.
While the unusual weather condi- !
tiona of this year were such as to
cause many of the roses to bloom j
exceptionally early and for their;
blooms to wilt before the rose show.'
the quantity and quality of blooms'
shown at the exhibition were such, i
in view of the fact that this Ls the i
first event of this nature ever tried I
in Harrisburg. that they exceed the
most sanguine anticipations of the!
backers of the movement.
Over two hundred blooms in manyi
vases were entered for prizes by:
amateurs, while thousands of other j
blooms contributed by nurseries and !
florists of Harrisburg and vicinity i
were furnished to provide a suitable
rotting for the vari-colored blooms.
Palms and other evergreens helped
to complete the floral display.

While news dispatches and the of
ficial casualty list, of the Government
do not agree as to the middle initial
in the name of Guy W. Showers the
address in both statements is the
same and his parents now believe that
the boy was killed in France. The
doubt was caused by the fact that
press dispatches gave his name as
Guy W. Showers, while the casualty
statement said it was "Guy Showers."
Sorvices will he held for the hoy at

EMERGENCY AID DOES GREAT
SERVICE IN WE SHORE
Camp Hill Branch Makes Thousands of Articles For Use
of Soldiers and in Hospitals
Camp Hill, Fa.. June 7—The Camp
Hill Emergency Aid is completing the
first half of the year's work most
successfully. Hundreds of dollars
have been contributed for materials
and more ts in sight. The movement J
is well financed and the people of !
the West Shore have promised to see j
it through the year. The members j
under' the leadership of Mrs. Carl '
K. Deen, president: Mrs. George D. j
Cook, treasurer, and Mrs. W. C. Selg- ;
mund. secretary, are working day j
after day in the manufacture of knit !
goods and surgical dressings. West j
Shore soldiers get first call on the j
sweaters, etc., made by the members, j
but many otilerg have been and will j
be supplied with needful articles and
protection against severe weather of
winter.
Pari In l.oaa Drive
The close of the Third Liberty Loyt !
campaign has' served to call attention j
to the truly remarkable work ac- !
coniplislied by the women of the !
country in helping Uncle Sam raise
the sinews of war and in no section I
of the United States were their ef- |
forts more successful than in the
Harrisburg district. The Emergency j
Aid of Pennsylvania, while not par- j
ticlpating in the loan campaign as
an organization, was, nevertheless,
largely instrumental in the success •
of the district women's organization j
through the individual efforts of its 1
members and because of their wide !
experience in organizing and work- \
ing out plans for war relief work.
To illustrate: It was Mrs. Bar-;
clay H. Warburton, vice-chairman j
of the Emergency Aid in Philadel- I
phia. who conceived and carried out j
tile idea of the Women's Liberty Loan i
or "Second Line of Defense" parade,
as it was called, and who prevailed 1
upon Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the first
lady in the land, to go from Wash- j
nigton to Philadelphia to review it.
The parade was the greatest demon
stration of women ever held in Penn- |
sylvania.
Wonderful \York
These facts are mentioned to show !
what the women's organizations can I
accomplish, even in something en
tirely outside their supposed sphere ;
of usefulness. But the Emergency
Aid has accomplished such wonder
ful work in other lines, more espe- |
cially in war reli\f work, that ai

brief review will be of interest and
serve as an Incentive to the branch
organizations to continue and en
large their efforts.
Before this country entered the
war the Emergency Aid, through its
Armenian. Belgian. British, French,
Italian, Montenegrin, Polish, foreign
Red Cross, Russian. Serbian, surgical
dressings and other committees, had
sent millions of dollars in cash and
supplies to the relief of the suffering
peoples of Europe.
Then cam P our entry into the con
flict and with it began the work of
the American overseas committee.
This committee was organized for
the specific purpose of sending com
torts and supplies to Pennsylvania
men in the service of France. The
scope of Its work has recently been
enlarged to include the men in the
training camps in this country and
to combat German propaganda among
the women relatives of men in the
service.
j The American overseas committee
I has been eminently successful and
the band of devoted women has
I raised upwards of SIOO,OOO through
| the Tobacco Fund, Jam Fund, Choco
-1 late Fund, Comfort Kit Fund and
j other co-related enterprises. For in
| stance, the Tobacco Fund has shipped
and paid for, up to May 1, 1918, $43.-
447.54 worth of tobacco. All of this
! tobucco is packed in individual 'kits
and consigned to the American Sol
, diers - and Sailors' Club of Paris.
! from which it is distributed to the
: men throughout the battle zone.
The Tobacco Fund has been mate
; rlally assisted by the volunteer et
, forts of many people, among whom
! may be mentioned Sergeant Empey,
, Miss Kathleen Burke. Private Peat,
i "Smiling" Pat O'Brien and many
I others.
Wear lulforms
The Paris club. Just mentioned, Is
also the headquarters of the Emer
gency Aid. The wearing of the
Emergency Aid uniform is urged
i upon all members, both of the cen
[ tral organization and the branches.
; It is a service uniform, indicating
j that the wearer is devoting herself,
I as far as possible, to the service of
her country. Further, it is an eco
; nomical habit. The wearing of the
uniform saves many dollars' worth
of other and more expensive clothes
j and is in thorough accord with the
I conservation idea.
