NEWS OF STEELTON
FEEL NEED OF
Y. MX A. HERE
Expect to Launch Move For
Organization of Associa
tion Very Soon
Launching of a move for the or
ganization of a Young Men's Chris
tion Association in the borough
should take place at once, in the
opinion of prominent businessmen
of the borough.
At the close of the war hundreds
of Steelton boys who have learned
to appreciate the value of the Y. M.
C. A. work in the army will be com
ing home and if the town does not
have a thriving association to greet
theni on their arrival and provide
lecreation for them while here they
will be very much disappointed, de
< tared a supporter of the move to
iay.
Efforts will be made in the near j
future by several businessmen to get j
the support of all the businessmen
of the borough. Officer of the Civic !
Club, Municipal League and the j
Steelton Businessmen's Association j
will be consulted on the proposition j
and asked to get the support of the i
organizations in the work. Al-!
though all three of these organiza- ;
tions are enjoying a summer's re- j
1 ess, it is probable that special meet
ings will be called to take up this;
move.
Give Much to "Y" Work
That this thriving borough heart-]
iiy favors the Y. M. C. A. work was
emphasized recently when, during j
the drive for funds to promote this I
work in the Army, residents came i
forward and contributed about S3O,- [
000, which was twice over the quota j
the town was asked to subscribe, j
The businessmen backing the move]
for a local organization are of tlioj
opinion that if residents willingly j
contribute this amount of money for |
the nation-wide work, it will not be'
so difficult to secure funds for the!
work here.
Steelton at one time had one of
the best associations among towns
of its size in Central Pennsylvania. .
The board of directors of the old 1
organization is still intact and indi- !
vidually members are heartily in i
favor of the move.
People Favor Move
Recently the Ministerial Associa-!
tion of Steelton and vicinity appoint- 1
ed a committee to meet with mem- j
bers of he old board to ascertain
what progress could be made in a.
move for a new association. Be- i
cause of lack of interest and the \
war, it was believed advisable to j
postpone action for the present i
time.
Since that time residents of the |
town have taken a different stand !
iind inasmuch as the boys are so
well pleased with the Y. M. C. A.
activities in the various camps and i
in France, many local people feel
the need of a Y. M. C. A. here. !
Meelton at the present time has sev
eral h ntired men in the service. ]
v.'hich alone would make an excep
tionally large membership for an
association.
That Steelton has a few "live |
wires'' in the Y. M. C. A. work was
evident when the Rev. C. B. Segel
ken, pastor of the First Presbv- j
terian Church, was selected to take '
' harge of a "hut" at Camp Dix for ;
a month. The local minister has
become so popular with the bovs at!
the camp that he has been asked to
lemain longer. The Rev. Mr. Segel-j
ken is a supporter of a move to or-!
ganize an association here.

Mr. Lafean's summary of the re-i

ing the holdings in coin and paper j
money. Comparisons are rnadei
clear back to the results of the call
of March 22, 1917. The figures run
high into the millions.
Assets as of June 29 aggregate sl,-
688,589,441.45 against $1,700,979.-
758.96 on April 15 and $1,616,068,-

as $429.79 against $467.95 last spring

the reduction. What are classed as
savings fund deposits are given as

Child Labor I-aw Effective.—As a
result of hundreds of inquiries re-,
garding child labor regulations in
Pennsylvania coming to the State
Department of Labor and Industry
since the United States Supreme
Court declared the Federal child la
bor law unconstitutional. Acting
Commissioner Lew R. Palmer to
day issued a statement pointing out
that the Pennsylvania child labor
law is effective regardless of anv ac
tion taken on the Federal child la
lor law. The Pennsylvania child la
bor law of 1915 definitely specifies
legal requirements for working chil
dren in this state. Children undor
sixteen may not be employed more
than fifity-one hours a week nor
more than nine hours a day nor be
fore 6 o'clock in the morning nor
after 8 o'clock in the evening and
eight hours of the fifty-one hours
must be spent in continuation
school. Minors under fourteen may
not be emplo>ed in any establish
ment or in any occupation and no
minor may be employed in any sa
loon or barroom where alcoholic 11-
l quors are sold. Children betwevi
fourteen and sixteen may not be
employed without an employment
certificate which certificate must be
kept on tile in the establishment
where they are employed. Vacation
employment certificates are requir
ed if children under sixteen work
during vacation time.
Pennsylvania Museum Is
to Get Ancient Egypt Pillar
Philadelphia—The first word in a
long time from the' Eckley B. Coxe
expedition to Egypt has been received
at the University of Pennsylvania
Museum from Dr. Clarence S. Fisher,
its leader. Dr. Fisher reported ex
cellent success during the winter ex
plorations at Dendereh. the ancient
capital of Egypt, up the Nile.
In April he returned to Memphis
aand continued his work of uncover
ing the palace of Merenpthah, who Is
identified by many Biblical scholars
a.i the Pharaoh of the Oppression,
whose stubborness brought on the 10
plagues. If this is correct, the great
hall and throne room of the palace,
which lias now been completely un
covered. was the scene of the appear
ance of Moses and Aaron before
Pharaoh and where the signs and
wonders were performed. The throne
is said to be in good condition, but
Egypt will not permit it to come to
this country.
Fortunately. Dr. Fisher has worked
over the pieces of the 12 colossal pil
lars which upheld the roof and has
recovered enough to make one com
plete pillar, which will be brought to
the University Museum and set up.
It will be the most notable specimen
of Egyptian architecture in this coun
try. The pillars were 6 feet In dia
meter, 80 feet high, covered with In
scriptions and pictures Inlaid with
gold. Much of the paneling of the
room and the lintels of the doors also
were inlaid with gold and these will
be brought here
The natives of Egypt. It Is said,
call the palace "The Temple of
Moses," as they have an idea that Is
where he was reared.
