Qods gifts put man's best drcama
to shame. — Mrs. Brownl\-g.
, 1
BURLESON AND LIQUOR 1
IT is charged, and not denied, that
Postmaster General Burleson .
has taken time enough away
from his favorite sport of throwing i
monkey wrenches into the wheels
of the postal machinery to conduct
a secret lobby against the enactment ]
of a national prohibition statute at
this session of Congress.
If Mr. Burleson knows as little ,
about the benefits of national pro
hibition as he does about the proper '
conduct of the postal system it Is
little wonder that he conceals his
activities. But what has prohibition 1
to do with the postofflce department?
Or is Mr. Burleson one of those silly
gentlemen who profess to believe
that the efficiency of workmen Is In
creased by the drinking of alcoholic '
beverages ? ,
Nor did the other witnesses who
testified yesterday before the com- 1
mittee bring out any convincing ar- ,
guments in favor of booze for ship
builders. Secretary Daniels, who has 1
brought the Navy to unheard of de
grees of efficiency since he put pro
hibition Into effect In the sea service.
\tmye that beer (r shipbuilders is as
unnecessary as for ship operators,
and there is no reason to believe he
is wrong.
Bainbridge Colby, who raised all
the storm, is being used as a tool
by the brewing interests who have
thought so much of his remarks that
they have caused them to be pub
lished as a full page paid advertise
ment in Washington newspapers.
And this is the concluding sentence
in Mr. Colby's highly logical appeal
for poison to keep the shipbuilders in
good physical condition: "The world
wants not an Increase of rlghteous
* ness; it wants victory for free insti
tutions," predicated upon a merchant
marine built by beer-drinking ship
builders.
Is the man Joking or is he simply
Billy?
At any rate, the fleeing Austrians
still have the choice between an
Italian bullet and starvation at home.
THIRD TERM NONSENSE
THE third term nonsense of which
Vice President Marshall was
guilty at Indianapolis is still go
ing the rounds of the press. We do
not believe Mr. Marshall spoke with
authority; he seldom does. He is the
bad boy of the administration, al
ways saying things which embarrass
the president. But like the bad boy
of the family he sometimes blurts
out more of the truth than is de
signed for public Information. Oc
casionally he drops an Innermost
family secret.
If the president or his friends are
entertaining any such foolish ideas
at this time let them get into their
heads the thought that their Job at
this time Is exclusively the winning
of the war. That Is a task big
enough to fully occupy the atten
tion of any administration and the
public has a right to expect concen
trated attention upon It by those en
trusted with it.
"Politics is adjourned," and 1920
is still two tumultous, tremendous
years In the future.
The Austrians started out after
Italian spoils and were spoiled.
89 MORE SHIPS
CHARLES SCHWAB ts planning
the most gigantic Fourth of July
~ celebration in the history of the
country—one that will make the
German Kaiser shiver in hia boots
and von Terpltz wonder how he
ever became possessed of the fool
notion that the U-boat could beat
your Uncle Samuel.
Mr. Schwab proposes that at- a
riven hour on the national holiday,
or aa near there as may be, eighty
nine hulls of new shipa ahali be
launched In the yarda of the U T nlted
Stataa.
Eighty-pine ships added to our
I merchant marine on one day—think
■ of it —and ships above all else will
■ win the war.
We fooled away a mighty lot of
time getting Mr. Schwab into con
txol of our ahip-butmns industry—
WEDNESDAY EVENING
a full year after he himself offered
his services—but he Is there now
and Just getting into his pace. If he
is able to celebrate the Fourth with
89 ships what may not Uncle Sam
expect to And in his stocking on
Christmas morning?
Some celebration!
That the printing trades have sent
their full quota to the war ia shown
by the issue of a booklet. "Somewhere
in France," by the International Typo
graphical Union, which gives the
names of 4.081 Journeymen members
and 60S apprentices who are in the
service of the United States or
Canada. Another thing that strikes
the eye is that the union has invested
13,000,000 in Liberty Bonds, that last
year of the several millions of dollars
handled only $1,237 was spent for
strike purposes, and that President
Scott says "there should be no strikes
or lockouts during the war."
PROMPT CO-OPERATION
MEMBERS of City Council have
lost no time in preparing to
co-operate with the State au
thorities for the erection of a monu
mental, viaduct at State street to con
nect the Capitol Park extension with
the Hill district. The resolution
passed at yesterday's session in
structing City Solicitor John E. Fox
to get into touch with the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings at
onco and to prepare legislation for
the city's part in the big enterprise
shows that the councllmen appre
ciate thoroughly the Importance of
getting under way as quickly as pos
sible.
When Architect Brunner was in
Harrisburg recently he commented
enthusiastically over the hearty co
operation and perfect harmony that
has always existed between the State
and the city In the matter of the
Capitol-Park development, and yes
terday's action by Council is merely
a continuation of the policy that has
marked the extension project since
its very inception.
The councllmen realize that the
city is offered such a bargain as
may never come its way again and
that it must be accepted while the
State is in its present generous mood.'
The resolution adopted Is the first
step toward taking the necessary ac
tion to transfer the Walnut street
bridge fund, voted by the people
some years ago, to the State street
fund as the city's very small share
toward the great structure with
which the Commonwealth proposes
to carry the park development by
means of an eighty-foot viaduct to
the people of the Hill.
When Bethlehem proposed the
erection of some such bridge as is
planned for State street, municipal
credit and private subscription had
to be stretched to the limit to get it.
But here the Commonwealth gener
ously offers the city the vast sum
which represents the difference be
tween the kind of structure as could
be built for the $300,000 the city
has to -spend, and a sum sufficient
to erect such a viaduct as Mr. Brun
ner and Mr. Greiner contemplate.
Council Is well Justified in hastening
to accept the proffer.
It so happens that the city is for--
tunate In another respect also, City
Solicitor Fox having been Instru
mental as State Senator In the adop
tion of the legislation necessary for
the Inauguration of the park exten
sion improvement and being thor
oughly familiar with all the steps
that have been taken. He Is an en
thusiast on the subject and may be
depended upon to get Into touch with
the State officials promptly and to
co-operate with them intelligently
and along lines that will continue on
a broader basis than ever the
friendly relations that exist between
Commonwealth and city. Harrla
burg appreciates what the State is
doing and desires only to help.
The official German press agent
has not yet burdened the cables with
what the Kaiser thinks of Qott's
part in the Austrian offensive.
Our idea is that the Italian delega
tions should have first place in the
Fourth of July parade.
We certainty are glad that the
Government haan't found it necessary
to order a substitute for raspberry
pie.
"Two minutes for prayer Is too
short a time," aays a correspondent,
who forgets the possibility of con
tinuing his petitions at home.
OfMtUtU
With the election of the whole Re
publican state ticket assured and big
Republican delegations in Congress
and both Houses of the State Legis
lature a matter of course and the
Democratic party engaged in ont of
its quadrennial family tights, the at
tention of men active in politics in
Pennsylvania is being devoted to the
Supreme Court elections, nomina
tions for which must be made by
nomination papers.
Both of the Justices recently ap
pointed will 'be candidates for full
terms and their friends will soon get
busy in their behalf. There is pro
nounced sentiment for President
Judge George Kunkel, but the Dau
phin Jurist is silent on the subject,
and there are a number of men
urged for the places. Among Demo
crats who are being urged to file pa
pers for Justice Mestrezat's seat are:
Henry Budd, a local attorney; ex-
Senator Webster D. Grim, of Bucks
county; Charles B. Lenahan, of Lu
zerne county; Judge Henry O. Bech
tel, of Schuylkill county, and Judge
Charles B. Copeland, of Westmore
land county.
—Judge John W. Kephart, of the
Superior Court, is regarded as cer
tain to tile papers and several attor
neys in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
have ambitions, some of which are
not regarded as likely to get very
far. Judge Kephart, who is a
shrewd politician and who upset
tome apple carts a few years ago.
will likely have something formal
to say soon.
—Judge Bonniwell Is in confer
ence with friends in Philadelphia
the remainder of this week regard
ing campaign plans. He will issue
another statement about Saturday.
—Pittsburgh councilmen have
again passed ordinances over the
mayor's veto. The mayor and the
council are having a strenuous time
on different ideas of government.
—Reappointment of Public Serv
ice Commissioner Michael J. Ryan
is expected to be announced within a
few days. His term expires on July
1 and he will be named to serve un
til the end of the next session of the
State Senate.
—The lawyers who are gathered at
Bedford are not only discussing the
Supreme Court nominations, but they
are also giving attention to the
tangles which now exist in the non
partisan judicial selection law. This
is a subject which has presented
nothing but difficulties since It went
Into operation and Hampton L Car
son, former Attorney General, yester
day submitted a report reviewing de
cisions and making suggestions. To
remedy this confusion an act of As
sembly is recommended which pro
vides that the Secretary of the Com
monwealth, in certifying the names
of judicial candidates to be printed
upon the official ballot, shall present
the names of those condldates re
ceiving more than fifty per cent, of
the electors who voted for such can
didates. In the event that fewer
nominees are thus obtained than
there are judges to be elected, those
candidates who receive more than
fifty per cent, shall be certified for
separate *nd distinct printing, and
shall be printed on the official ballot
as sole nominees for an equal num
ber of vacancies to be filled; and
twice as many additional names as
there are additional vacancies to be
filled shall be certified for printing as
a distinct group, according to exist
ing law, and said additional names
shall be separately printed on the
official ballot as nominees for the re
mainder of said vacancies and for
them only. The proposed act also
provides that the names shall be
printed on the ballot In the order
of their respective plurality of votes,
the name receiving the highest vote
appearing first.
—Much attention has been attract
ed in state political circles by the 1
activities of the group of men head
ed by William Wilhelm, who Is pres
ident of the State Progressive League.
These men are understood, according
to dispatches from Pottsvllle, to have
tentatively agreed. It is asserted,
upon a state ticket which will be
headed by Senator Sproul, Republi
can nominee for Governor. They
have selected J. Washington Logue,
the Democratic nominee for Lieuten
ant Governor, and Asher R. Johnson,
the Democratic nominee, for Secre
tary of Internal Affairs, as running
mates for Sproul, and also will put
in the field candidates for (Songress
at-Large pledged to prohibition. A
meeting will be held at Philadelphia
nfxt month, when plans for the cam
paign will be fully formulated.
MAKE WAR IN GERMANY
[Kansas City Star]
"Already," Henry Allen writes
from Paris, "Allied air strength
equals the German." Which merely
emphasizes the fact that so far there
is no such thing as superiority in
the air. England and France have
Just about been able to keep pace
with Germany in the construction
of aircraft.
That is the reason the success of
our aircraft program is a vital mat
ter. When America comes In strong
with fighting planes, then and then
only will the supremacy of the air
be attained.,with all the advantages
that this gives. .
The usefulness of bombing from
airplanes has been questioned by
various military critics. It Is hard,
they point out, to score direct hits,
since the aircraft must generally
fly at a great height. But there Is
another effect that Mr. Allen men
tions in his letter. Continued air
raids get on people's nerves. A
man's efficiency as a worker is low
ered when he knows that any mo
ment there may be a deadly explo
sion in his neighborhood, or In the
neighborhood of his family.
When the day actually cornea, as
i>ome It will, that American planes
In numbers hitherto undreamed of
shall flock over the cities of the
Rhine Valley, life will be a
veritable hell for millions of Ger
mans. It is a horrible way to con
duct war. But It is merely using the
weapon that Germany chose.
Germany undertook to bring the
war to the civilian population of
England and France by air raids.
With American resources the Allleg
ought to see to It that the war is
brought home to the people of Ger
many until it sickens them.
Stops Outdoor Advertising
"Telephone-pole advertising," or
the nailing of cards, circulars, signs,
etc., on telephone poles along the
streets, has been ordered discon
tinued in Dallas, Texas. A city ordi
nance hns been placed on the statute
books of the city prohibiting this
nractlce and Chief of Police Ryan
has issued orders to his force to see
that the law Is obeyed.

Just a "Y" Secretary
[Harris Dickson in Collier's Weekly]
The first wave billows over the
crest, dropping its dead as it goes.
The second wave meets an answer
ing storm from the Boche, a pelting
of shells which converts the slope
into a field of death, plowed by gi
gantic maniacs. Officers order their j
men to lie down in the captured
trenches, in the shell craters, to lie
down anywhere, everywhere, until
the opposing batteries can be smoth
ered.
One man disobeys; one solitary
figure keeps his feet. He carries no
bayonet, flashes no sword, flourishes
no banner. From crater to crater he
gloves calmly about his work.
"Who is that hero? Is he some
srreat general encouraging his sol
diers by such splendid gallantry?"
Not a bit. He's no hero; that's
nothing but a Y. secretary serving
hot coffee to the men.
When the smoke of the Big Push
had cleared away, two secretaries
were found among the slain, and
ten among the wounded. And chap
lains, too, were lying dead upon the
field.
As Tommy puts It; "If you like
that -ort of sport, it's fine to go over
the top with a bayonet; but it takes
some nerve to go over with a pot of
coffee, or a hymn book in your
hand."

war Hindenburg would be fighting a

"MADELON"
[Heywood Brown In The A. E. F.]
I heard that song ("Madelon")
many times afterwards and It always
brings to mind a picture of dusty
French soldiers marching with their
short, quick, eager style. They are
always dusty. All summer long they
iwear big overcoats which come be
low the knee. Dust settles and mul
tiplies and if you see a French regi
ment marching In the spring rainy
season it will still be dusty. Per
haps their souls are a little dusty
now, but it is French dust. And as
they march they sing, as the men
sang to the newly arrived Americans
In the train that night:
i
For all the soldiers on their holi
days.
There Is a place, just tucked In by
the woods.
A house with ivy growing on the
walls—
A cabaret—"Aux Toulourous" —the
goods!
The gtrl who serves Is young and
sweet - as love.
She's light as any butterfly In spring.
Her eyes have got a sparkle like her
wine.
We call her Madelon—it's got a
swing;
The soldier girl! She leads us all a
dance!
She's only Madelon. but she's Ro
mance!
1
We all have girls for keeps that wait
at home
Who'll marry us when fighting time
Is done;
But they ar? far way—too far to tell
What happens In these days of cut
and-run.
We sigh away such days as best we
can.
And pray for time to bring us nearer
home.
But tales like ours won't wait till
then to tell —
We have to run and boast to Made
lon.
We steal a kiss—she takes !t"all in
play;
We dream she Is that other—far
away.
A corp'ral with a feather In his cap
Went courting Madelon one sum
mer's day.
And mad with love, he swore she
was superb.
And he would wed her any day she'd
say.
But Madelon was not for any suoh —
She danced away and laughed: "My
stars above!
Why, how could I consent to marry
you,
When f have my whole regiment to
love?
I could not choose just one and leave
the rest.
I am a soldiers' girl—l like that
best!"
When Madelon comes out'to serve
us wine, -
We always know she's coming by
her song!
And every man, he tells his little
tale.
And Madelon, she listens all day
long.
Our Madelon is never too severe—
A kiss or two Is nothing much to
her—
She laughs us up to love and life
and God—
I Madelon! Madelon! Madelon I
Adapting the Soy Bean
to A merican Cookery
(By ZOE BGCKLEY)
ON* the top floor of 641 Washing
ton street in New Tork City is
one of the most interesting
kitchens in the world. Presiding over
its grinding mill and its stoves,
its cupboards and its experl- 1
ment tables Is the only Chinese
woman ever employed by the
United States to adapt scien
tifically to the American diet the
products of the Orient. She recently
spent six months in a trip to China
to study and analyze the soy bean.
Doctor Yamel Kin alone, her quaint
blue robe and her puzzling'blend of
Eastern looks and Western speech,
would make the place charming. But
we must, not forget the soy bean.
The soy or soya or soja bean, you
remember, began to be heard of
about the time potatoes and rice
went soaring up from the price of
necessities to the price of luxuries.
"Use soy beans," said somebody be
longing to a food board. And as
soon ac friend wife could find where
to buy soy bean flour she began to
use it.
But instead of being a carbohy
drate bean, it is a protein bean, and
its uses should be figured on that
basis. Hence Doctor Kin and her
wonderful kitchen.
Takes Pride in Soy Beans
The little doctor in the sky-blue
gown seems proud of the soy bean.
She says it has been used as a staple
article of food in her country "since
B. C."
"And yet," she says, "even in coun
tries where the bean is used for the
protein part of the people's food they
do not use it as a plain boiled bean.
It does not take the place, for in
stance, of the white navy bean
which housewives are accustomed to
boil or to bake with pork. There Is
too much oil In the soy bean to make
it agreeable. Its great usefulness is
in the manufactured forms. These
forms are what I am trying to de
velop in this laboratory.
"It is a replacer of meat—a vege
table cheese. It is of great value to
persons who cannot safely eat meat.
It forms no acid. It is an alkaline
form of protein."
She turned to a row of jars.
"Here we have it combined with
tomato," she said "Here again is
one canned with mushrooms. This
pretty red one contains Spanish
sweet peppers. And here we have a
sort of fish chowder, ft !s delicious!
"To those who do not object to
meat, it combines splendidly with
cMoken, ham or beef. An economi
cal and palatable dish Is made by
taking one cupful of any sort of
meat leavings—'hash'— and three

cupfuls of soy bean curd flavored as
in any 'made' dish. This makes a j
perfect meal. As the curd contains
no starch it is a wonderful food for
diabetics."
This "curd" Is peddled about the .
streets of China, fresh each morning. (
Chinese housewives buy it In such
quantities as they need for Immedi
ate use. It Is adapted in that form
for Chinese cookery. But as It does
not "keep" that way, the idea would
be to adapt it to American uses by <
canning it so it could be bought in
any quantity and kept for any time,
like any other tinned product.
Soy I&AII Sauce
When you eat chop suey, chow
mein and similar dishes at Chinese '
restaurants the salty black sauce ;
served with the food Is made from j
soy beans. It Is by no means simply |
a condiment. It is as nutritious as ;
meat gravy. i
"Soy beans contain 10 to 20 and
even 30 per cent of oil," Doctor Kin
resumed. "More than half of this
can be extracted under pressure.
This oil Is used commercially In
paints, oils, etc., and is something
like linseed oil.
"The soy bean flour Is of two kinds
and can be bought at most large gro
ceries.
"One Is the whole bean, ground,
but this has a high degree of oil
and is strong in flavor. The other
is the bean 'cake,' which Is the form
bf the flour after the oil is expressed.
It bears the same relation to the
other that milk does after .the cream
has been taken out."
This bean "cake" Is what Doctor
Kin is trying by various processes
to adapt to American uses. So far
as I can make out by looking at it
and tasting it in diherent forms, it
is a sort of food "stock" from which
anything can be built.
With meat juices It takes on the
fl'avor of meat, though I do not think
Mary will ever be able to fool John
Into, thinking It Is a steak. Com
bined with meat or vegetables, it
becomes as they In general taste. It
"ekes out." Further, the doctor
says:
It Isn't a Cereal
"Excellent cheese is made from
oy beans and everything that can
be done with cheese made from
animal milk can be done with soy
cheese. It has the same reactions.
It has all the advantages and none
of the faults of animal cheese.
"People have failed with it hereto
fore because they have attempted to
use it as a cereal. This cannot be
done. It would be like trying to
use cottage cheese to make biscuits
with!'*
FIRST IMPRESSIONS'
[A French Officer in Paris Temps.]"
Infinitely Interesting Is our con
tact with the American troops. They
have occupied the sector'immedlately
beside ours. We have seefi them at
work, and could form an Idea, and it
should be told and retold that they
are marvelous. The Americans are
soldiers by nature, and their officers
i have the desire to learn with an en
thusiasm and an idealistic ardor very
remarkable. There Is the same spirit
among the privates. They absolutely
astonished us on a morning of at
tack. The cannonading, suddenly
becoming furious, had Just thrown
me out of my bunk. No doubt about
it. it was a Verdun attack. Taking
time to seize my revolver, put on my
helmet, and gather up several docu
ments, I descended to the streets.
When I arrived there they were al
ready filing by with rapid, easy, de
cided steps, marching in perfect sil
ence with admirable resolution, and
above all with striking discipline,
to their fighting positions. It was
fine. You can have no Idea how
cheering It was to my Pollus.
THE TANTALIZING IDEAL
My only Love Is always near—
In country or In town
I see her twinkling feet, I hear
The whisper of her gown.
She foots It ever'fair and young.
Her locks are hid In haste,
And one is o'er her shoulder flung,
And hangs below her waist.
She ran before me In the meads;
And down this world-worn track
She leads me on; but while she leads
She never gazes back.
And yet her voice la in my dreams,
To witch me more and more;
That wooing voice! Ah me. It seems
Less near me than of ypre.
Lightly I sped when hope was high.
And youth beguiled the chase;
I follow —follow still; but I
Shall never see her face!
—Frederick Locker,
JUNE 26, 1918.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DRAWS A LESSON
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Please read the following clipping:
"Is Mrs. Glithers a snob?"
"She's what you might call a lim
ited snob."
"How's that?"
"While she considers a great many
people beneath her socially, she is
willing to join them in a little Red
Cross work." — Birmingham Age-
Herald.
The above appears In a morning
paper and while It is supposed to
be a Joke Is there not a lesson many
could learn from?
The awful war has forever erased
the line between the north and the
south, it has done much to bring the
various churches together, showing
that all are working for the com
mon good and all creeds have done a
wonderful amount of good, teaching
and giving to know the brotherhood
of man. The ladies of the Red
Cross are giving much in service and
means to help along the same line,
but we have to wonder if the good
God of Peace will ever bring about
a lasting peace until the ladies of
the Red Cross here and everywhere
from their faith in the equality of
all deserving people. If a co-worker
is good enough to work with and
talk to in the Red Cross room are
they not good enough to be treated
with common politeness in the street
and in public places.
Of course they do not have to
make companions of any one not of
their taste and financial and social
standing, but if we want to see the
world become "safe for Democracy"
we must first realize all .have the
same right in this land of freedom
and all, so long as they follow the
path of right, must be treated with
consideration and respect not only In
the work room but wherever met.
Heaven grant the day may dawn
when there will be no more "snobs"
"limited" or full grown for not until
then can we expect the world to be
what the Master would have it be.

Few people have any Idea of what
stirring days have fallen In the end
of June In Harrisburg from the time
It was a settlement about John Har
ris' Ferry almost to the present day
as the State Capital of Pennsylvania.
This is the second anniversary of
the mobilization of the National
Guard for Mexican border service,
a tour of duty which was the pre
lude to the war with Germany and
on this day in 1916 the citizen sol
diers entrained for Mt. Gretna. In
•1898 about this time Company I of
the Fourth Infantry was being re
cruited to go to Porto Rico with
Miles, the expedition in which Cap
tain H. L. Calder and Lieutenants
J. B. Fisher and H. M. Stine com
manded the Harrisburg men. Com
pany D of the Eighth baa previously
gone to Dunn Loring, Va„ and the
Governor's Troop was preparing at
Mt Gretna to move to Camp Alger,
being busy recruiting to war strength
under command of F. M. Ott, now
lieutenant colonel. But It is also
interesting to note that to-day is
the fifty-fifth anniversary of the
establishment of the first camp for
the defence of Harrisburg. It waa
on this dav that Captain Brlsbin es
tablished the camp of the regulars
on Brookwood farm about where
Sixteenth and Berryhlll streets are
located. This was the first camp to
be established in preparation for
Lee's invasion and two days later
there was skirmishing within sight
of Harrisburg. These were stirring
days for Harrisburg, indeed, and
some of the old-timers then recalled
how twice in the War of 1812 the
people of this community were called
upon to prepare against invasion lust
about this time. But most interest
ing of all is the fact that the Pax
tang boys, Harris Ferry's first con
tribution to the American republic
mobilized here under command of
Captain Matthew Smith the last week
of June, 1775, and before July 1 had
started for Cambridge to join Wash
ington. Some of these men cfled be
fore Quebec, some on Long Island
and others at Germantown; some
were victorious at Trenton and Mon
mouth and some fought through to
Yorktown. The end of June has al
ways been a notable time on the
banks of the Susquehanna.

War activities about Harrisburg
have called forth such vigorous re
sponse from native sons that many
a one even works in his sleep. It is
authentically related down at Middle
town that "Charley" Hoffert, at the
uncanny hour of 3 a. m„ was siezed
with a vivid nightmare wherein he
thought he was directing his hoisting
( shovel which he handles down at
the big government plant. "Up with
her now boys" he shrieked in the
still night air in his home, 617 North
Second street. There was authority
and action in his raucus yell which
i alarmed the whole family. It also
got the ear of a pedestrian who was
amazed to see a pair of bare feet
I protrude from the second story win s
dow as Hoffert, half way out, en
couraged his loyal workmen to
"treat 'em rough." The pedestrian •
very thoughtfully picked up an
empty milk bottle and crashed it
against the wall, instantly awaken
ing Foreman Hoffert to his hazard
ful plight.
• • •
As showing the patriotic impulse
of the average Harrisburg young
businessman we quote from a recent
' letter issued by one of the insurance
i representatives of the city to his
' clients in which he says: "I take
1 advantage of this occasion to advise
I you that my country needs my ser
i vices and I expect to be called upon
to report for duty in the Immediate
t future. In view of the fact that my
firm contemplates appointing no im
-1 mediate successor I am depending
upon you for your loyal support dur
ing my indefinite absence."

Just how completely the knobs at
Reservoir Park dominate the land
scape about Harrisburg is not rea
i lized by many people, but the fact
remains that from the crest of the
■ city reservation every point of Im
• portance between the Kittatlny Gap
and the Conewago Hills for five miles
on each side of the Susquehanna can
I be swept by the eye. Even the build
-1 Ings and tents at the Marsh Run
operations and the buildings at Her
-5 shey can be made out while on clear Jtt
days the Manada and Doubling Gaps w
can be seen ant} the successive ridges ■
In York county made out plainly. *
At night the faint glow from Corn
wall furnaces can be detected on the
clouds.

HISTORIC HARRISBURG
The first state arsenal was author
ized to be built here in 1816. John
Harris' Workhouse was an arsenal
in the Revolution.
SOUL OF THE CHURCH
We would like to put into the pul.
pit of the church a man who can
preach like Chrysostom, Bourdaloue
or even Gabriel, and put Into the
' choir loft or chancel a choir that can
sing like the anfcels. But It Is not
In that that the power of a church
resides. It resides primarily in the
, souls of the men and women who
occupy the pews. There is nothing
• to be gained by all this painful up
-1 setting of present arrangements un
less by this means there is going to
i be created an Institution so alive
with the power of God that it shall
put an irresistible spiritual stamp
upon the community in the midst of
which it is placed; and that Is to be
' done not by your amalgamated pas.
1 tor as your representative and proxy,
t but by you who will be inherent con
r stituents In the body of the church.
