As a result of the five tobaccoless Thursdays during May the Pennsylvania Railroad Worn j en's Division For War Relief at Enola will be able to send a big box to the boys "over there." Each of the fifty Pennsy men will get a sweater, "a helmet, pair of wristlets and two pairs of stockings. The knitting is now on and will be done by the women of Enola. Mrs. H. G. Huber, head of this column, will tell these and other interesting facts Tuesday night at the big com munity meeting to be held in the au ditorium at Enola. Reception to Major Gray The occasion will also-bring a com plete report of what has been do ing In that active town. F. W. Smith, Jr., superintendent of the Philadelphia division of the Pennsyl vania railroad, will preside. General Secretary Samuel G. Hepford will have a report to make that promises additional interest. There will be singing by Miss Mary Buttorf, of New Cumberland; orches tral music and an added feature will be a reception to Major William B. Gray, Engineer R. C.. constructing quartermaster at the Ordnance Depot near Middletown, and his staff. Of ficials identified with Major Gray will also be present. The meeting will start at 8 o'clock. Railroad Notes The Pennsy's new schedule will go into effect to-morrow. Many changes have been made in time of trains. Instructions to ticket agents re garding excursion tickets will be given out next week. One of the principal knocks the ticket agents get now from the trav eling public is the restriction placed on a first-clasß ticket. A person buy ing a one-way ticket must use it the same day or not later than the second day after it Is purchased. They cannot understand what benefit the Government expects to derive from a ruling of that kind, as all first-class tickets not used are to be redeeme'd after two days.

This information was given to the members of the House Military Affairs Committee by the War Council at a joint confer ence, In accordance with this policy, which tends tor strengthen the fighting morale of the American soldiers abroad, two full American divisions are now engaged In the fighting near Chateau-Thierry where the Germans have been making their drive. Secretary Baker Informed the com mittee that in another two weeks this American force would be doubled. The policy of the allied commander will be to increase weekly the AmerU can unit by decreasing the number of Americans brigaded with the French and British as the American soldiers become more proficient in military training under actual war conditions. If the plans of General Foch are carried out the Amerioan Army, fight ing as an American unit and holding a strong position In the line of the western front, will reach 400,000 within another si* weeks.

Pig's Feet Favorite Dish of Senator Wafdilnglon. You'd! expect of course, that a United States senator's favorite food would be something solid and conservative, like roast beef well done, or something: expen sive and exclusive, like porterhouse steak, or chicken a la king. Consequently It may surprise you to know that Senator Page, of Ver mont, than, whom there is no more shining example of senatorial dig nity, Just dotes on pickled pig's feet. He confessed that the recent pork less days proved a trial to him, be cause a very exclusive Washington hotel where the senator often dines refused to serve him the pig's feet, on patriotic grounds.

Other allega tions were that they operate as In dividuals and run the ferry at their own convenience, and not to accom modate the public; that the boats and equipment are crude and of "ram shackle type;" that there Is no schedule and that the old rates were too high themselves and that there is no justification for an advance. A further demand is made for restric tion of their operations until they comply with state requirements for public service. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets.—Adv.
