COMMITTEE MEN
ACTIVITIES OF
Councilmen Charge They Are Not Consulted About Borough
Affairs; Say Much Work Done Without Their Knowledge
Expressing their desire to be in
formed of all borough improvement
activities, several members of Coun
cil- last evening declared that some
of the work of borough officials was
being done without the knowledge
of committeemen appointed to have
charge of it.
Asserting that members of the
Highway Department should be con
sulted about the street repairs and
improvements instead of the work
being done by the chairman alone,
Councilman Capello urged the pas
sage of a motion providing that
members of the committee should
be called in conference when there
is any business to be transacted.
Councilman Capello's attack fol
lowed a statement by Councilman
Reisch, a member of the Highway
Committee, that many questions rel
ative to work on the riew intercept
ing sewer had been taken up and
thrashed out without members of
the Highway Committee being con
sulted. Councilman Capello declared
that every committee head must
recognize the members. The result
of this criticism was that a meeting
of the committee was called to look
over streets and sewer conditions in
' the borough.
Charge Negligence
Councilman Smith openly censured
Councilman Henderson for his negli
gence in not making repairs to a
stretch of sidewalk adjoining Hen
derson's property in Chestnut street.
, Henderson during recent Council
meetings promised to look Into the
matter but Councilman Smith stated
that nothing has been done. Other
necessary street repairs were called
to the attention of the Highway
Committee by Councilman Smith.
Councilman Henderson read a let
ter to Council from the State High
way Department referring to condi
tions in Front street, below the
wooden blocks, to the borough limits.
State officials said that complaints
have been made to them by the Har
risburg Motor Club about the poor
condition of the road and requested
that a meeting be held between
state'and borough officials. Council
decided to allow the Highway Com
mittee to take the matter up with
the state officials and report at the
next meeting.
Want "Extras"
The question of the payment of
"extras" on the intercepting sewer
now under course of construction
caused a general discussion of
charges made for things which com
mitteemen were not informed of,
they said. In explaining, it was
brought out that the Bethlehem
Steel Com pan-- and Pennsylvania
Railroad each had one representa
tive at the conference, while the bor
ough had two, the chairman of the
Highway Committee and the bor
ough engineer. The explanation was
<-Uisfactorv, Councilmen said, but
'hey asked that in the future com
mitteemen be notified of the confer
ences.
An increase of $lO a month to
members of the police force and $5
to all other employes of the borough,
recommended by the Finance Com
mittee, was authorized by Council.
The new scale of wages will cost the
borough $4,531 monthly. The In
crease was effective June 1. The Fi
nance Committee also reported that
twelve recent cases of smallpox orig
inating in the borough, have been
tteated at a total cost of $1,459.61. A
motion was passed making an ap
propriation to the health board to
pay the debt.
To Tax Street Cars
An ordinance providing the taxing
of street cars operating in the bor
ough, asked for by Councilman Reid
er, was passed by Council on first
TRY MAGNESIA FOR
STOMACH TROUBLE
It Neutralizes Stomach Acidity,
Prevents Food Fermentation,
Sour, Gassy Stomach and
Acid Indigestion.
Doubtless if you are a sufferer from
indigestion, you have already tried
pepsin, bismuth, soda, charcoal, drugs
and various digestive aids and you
know these things will not cure your
trouble—in some cases do not even
give relier.
But before giving up hope and de
ciding you are a chronic dVspeptic
just try the effect of a little bisurated
magnesia—not the ordinary commer
cial carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk
but the pure bisurated magnesia
which you can obtain from Q. A Oor
gas or practically any druggist in
either powdered or tablet form
Take a teaspoonful of the powder
or two compressed tablets with a lit
tle water after your next meal, and
see what a difference this makes. It
will Instantly neutralize the danger
ous, harmful acid in the stomach
which now causes your food to fer
ment and sour, making gas, wind
flatulence, heartburn and the bloated
or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems
to follow most everything you eat.
You will find that provided vou take'
n little lilsurated magnesia immediate
ly after a meal, you can eat almost
anything and enjoy it without any
clanger of pain or discomfort to fol
low and moreover, the continued use
of the bisurated magnesia cannot in
jure the stomach in any way so long
as there are any symptoms of acid in
digestion—Advertisement.

TUESDAY EVENING,
reading. The new law is a copy of
one being enforced by the City of
Erie and provides a tax of SSO on
each car operated in the borough.
• The election of a night sergeant to
succeed Leon Hand, who resigned,
was scheduled to take place at the ses
sion last evening, but was postponed.
Why no action w'as taken was 'not
generally known, only a few council
men who were in close touch with
each other knew the reason. Presi
dent Nelley, after a quiet discussion
of the matter, announced openly that
the matter was postponed until the
next meeting of Council. The ap
pointment of Meter Kagjanic as a
patrolman was confirmed.
The resignation of Hay A. Snyder
as borough treasurer and assistant
secretary was accepted. Snyder has
been an employe of the borough
since January 14, 1917. Snyder will
not be able to leave the borough's
employe until the books are audited,
according to law.
Red Cross Urges Nurses
to Enroll With Chaptei
A statement urging nurses to reg
ister for. Red Cross work with the
local chapter, was issued by the pub
licity committee this morning. The
statement follows:
"There exists a compelling demand
for registered nurses and those not
registered to enroll for Red Cross
work. One may enroll though not a
registered nurse providing she is
graduated from a registered training
school.
"A' nurse may enroll for service
other than military. The nursing de
partment of the American Red Cross
maintains an extensive public health
and sanitary service, both in this
country and abroad, also a rural
nursing service known as the town
and country nursing service. Married
nurses are urged to enroll for home
service in these departments.
"Young women graduating from
High school or colleges are needed to
enter the training schools so as to fill
the gaps made by the enrollment of
graduate nurses into the military
service.'" •

quest of council and separate ashes

lections will exist, it was ibrought out
at a meeting of council last evening
Council authorized the highway com
mittee to publish posters in several

all offenders will be rigidly enforced.

Delegates Who Ask For Mus

Minority at Hershey
After an hour and a half of de
bate which comprised the business I
of much of the morning session of j
the national convention of the |
Church of the Brethren now in ses
sion at Hershey, the convention en
dorsed the reccommendation of the
standing committee that the rule
prohibiting the use of musical in
struments in the services of the
church remain in force. The debate
was a repetition of one that oc
curred two years ago, and was pre
cipitated by the request from some
of the Brethren that it be abolished.
Another matter considered this
morning was the recommendation I
to establish a mission in south I
China. It was ruled 'in the con-1
vention that the church would not
authorize the mission, but would j
favor pastoral care of the natives, i

THOUSANDS SEE
CIRCUS PARADE
[Continued fro Page.]
Bedouins of dignity and swart hides,
cannibalistic bolomen and veiled
beauties of Afric harem—what one
is a matter of conjecture. Closely
padlocked cages, all gilt and sturdi
ness, creaked past, doubtless carry
ing the most ferocious freight. In
j fact, little Johnnie confided to ma
that he heard teeth gnashing and
flesh tearing from several of the
most weirdly decorated wagons.
Open Animal Cages
Then there were open animal
I cages. In these could be seen maned
, lions, who spoke gutterally; and
; often, still more creepy tigers, torpid
reptiles, and other beasts whose
names, if half as terrible as their
appearance, would be fatal to utter.
"Hey, Jimmie! Look at de tag
urs!" Sure enough there were four
tigers in one cage, pacing restlessly
to and fro and licking their chops at
sight of so many healthy boys out
side their barred home. Two
gaunt lions—each a lean and hungry
Cassius, in very truth, in the cage
j immediately following—were occu
! pied during the entire parade in tak
j ing a sort of mental census of the
I red-cheeked babies lining the route.
Only the camels paid attention to
their own business with a sort of
I aristocratic hauteur, which was com
ical to see. Part of them were hitch
ed to an air calliope. That made
Rome folks think the parade had
| been cut down. But that was just
the Ringling Brothers' way of hav
j ing a little joke on the public. For
I there was much to follow.
There was "the blood-sweating
! Behemoth of Holy Writ" which no
doubt perspired more freely than he
ever did before, because his cage was
closed and locked. The small boys
spelled out the words with awe and;
then conjured up a picture of a most
fearsome beast, with horns and a
spiked tail, which breathed fire
through the cracks of the painted
boards, and whose appetite was not
to be appeased with anything less
than a live calf for breakfast each
morning.
Funny Side of Procession
More bands, one of them mounted
on handsome gray horses, and a regi
ment of clowns that go to make up
the funny side of the circus, came
in turn. And, finally, of all things
to be desired by the juvenile element,
a clumsy and arid hillock began to
bob up and down in the distance.
Others appeared behind and beside
it. Then, guided by white helmet
ed keepers with very emphatic goads,
the whole colony of elephants sway
ed past. In conformity with the
custom adopted when the first circus
parade was staged, each animal
clasped firmly and affectionately the
tail of his predecessor in his flaccid
trunk. And nethermost of these was
the calliope. It was not one of
your old-fashioned steam-spurting
kind but a big, modern, pneumatic
affair as tuneful as a giant organ.
It Was operated by a gasoline en-1
gine. The pageant struck the bulls
eye of popular approval and was as
splc and span as the proverbial sum
mer girl.
Twenty tents have been erected

The happiest folk in Harrisburg
to-day are the members of the Motor
Messenger unit, those natty, effi

and put it together again and all of
whom are graduate first aids to the

motor truck, and they were timid
about asking the public for funds,
demands being so copious. Sud

Secretary Baker Tells "Blue
Devils" of Great Increase
Within Few Weeks
Washington, June 11.—More than
700,000 American soldiers have been
sent to France, Secretary Baker said
yesterday in a speech to French
"Blue Devils" who came to the Unit
ed States to aid in the Third Liberty
Loan campaign. Mr. Baker's last of
ficial announcement some weeks
ago was that more than half a mil
lion had gone over.
Secretary Baker, appearing before
the Senate Military Committee at
the start of hearings on the Army
appropriation bill, said the orders
holding Major General Wood in this
country were regarded "for the good
of the service" and presented a plan
for appointing successors to Major
Generals Crozier and Sharpe, who
have been relieved respectively from
their active jurisdiction over the ord
nance and quartermaster's bureaus.
Some Senators urged that General
Wood be sent across.
Secretary Baker proposed that an
amendment be added to the bill au
thorizing the President to appoint
two major generals "at large" to
provide that rank for Generals Cro
zier and Sharpe and to clear up the
present situation by which General
Crozier retains the title and rank as
head of the Ordnance Bureau, al
though serving on the War Council
with a subordinate as actin;: chief
of ordnance and by which Quarter
master General Sharpe has been sent
to a southern post as an "acting"
quartermaster handling the bureau.
The committee, it was said, was fa
vorably disposed to the plan pre
sented.
The bill's provision giving the
President unlimited authority to in- '
crease the Army was not discussed.
A deficiency estimate of $1,293,-
556,209 for the Army Quartermas
ter's Department for the present
fiscal year in addition to appropria
tions already made, was submitted
to the House yesterday by Secretary
Baker. The largest item is $1,031,- j
601,335 for clothing and camp and
garrison equippage.
This exceeds the annual peace time
expenditure of the entire govern
ment.
The President would be empow
ered to take possession of all cable,
telephone and telegraph lines under
an amendment to the $12,000,000,-
000 Army appropriation bill intro
duced yesterday by Senator Shep
pard, of Texas. The purpose would
bo to assure secrecy of military in
formation and to prevent communi
cation among spies.
PLAN STAMP DRIVE
Efforts are now being made by
Postmaster Sites together with mail i
carriers to launch another drive fori
the sale of W. S. S. stamps. Follow
ing the pledge campaign of several i
weeks ago the sale of Saving Stamps !
increased, but a decided slump has
been noticed during the last two
weeks. The postmaster hopes t.o sell
S2O worth of stamps for every person
in Dauphin county.
FAVOR EARLY CLOSING
A referendum vote to determine
whether the merchants of the city
favor closing Thursday afternoons
during July and August, and at 5
o'clock every evening tluiMng t.he
same period, Is being taken bv the |
Chamber of Commerce. To date the ,
vote has been overwhelmingly in j
favor of both moves.

LIBRARY WORK
TAKES BIG JUMP
Reports .Made to Trustees
Show Extent of Demands
in Harrisburg Now
Trustees of the Harrisburg Public
Library at their meeting last night
received reports indicating the rapid
growth of library work In the State
Capital district and that to meet the
demands of the summer and fall
there will be a serious drain upon the
resources of the institution. During
May, which is ordinarily a dul!
month, the circulation of the library
was 8,883 books, while the registra
tion climbed to 17,573 or one-fourth
of the population of Harrisburg.
Of this circulation 26 per cent
was among school children and 11
was reported that requests had been
made for establishment oi six addi
tional school libraries this spring
The library now has seven libraries
In schools about the city and owinp
to lack of funds will be unable t:
place the additional libraries when
the schools reopen. It may be even
forced to curtail the work It is
doing in this direction.
During May there were 2,715
readers at the library and 114 ref
erence questions were answered.
Miss Alice R. Eaton, the librarian,
who had visited the camp libraries
at a number of the camps and at
League Island, gave a statement re
garding the work of its organization
and made the gratifying statement
that Harrisburg had sent 15,001
books to the soldiers. These book?
were all collected and handled
through the library, which met the
cost of hauling from the deposit
places and attended to the sort
ing and handling.
Professor H. G. Dibble, principal
of the Central High school, who re
signed to go to Gloversville, N. Y.,
resigned as a trustee and a suitable
minute appreciating his services as a
trustee and as a member of the li
brary committee of the board was
adopted.
Formal action thanking the family
of the late J. Augustus Beck for
the gift of the oil painting of the
Susquehanna Gap and the upper end
of Harrisburg from Fort Washington
was taken.
