Pennsylvania Coun cil of Natio" I Defense and Commit tee of Public Safety. General' Car ter says: "In the present emergency it ts of primary importance to the government that the police power of all states and municipalities be efficiently organized and exercised. "The action of the State of Penn sylvania, from the inception of the war with Germany, in relieving the War Department, from any concern in the enforcement of law, protec tion of property and the preserva tion of the interests of the United States in every possible manner throughout the State, has been of the utmost value from a military standpoint. "It is a personal pleasure to ex press my appreciation of the co operation that has 'been extended to this bureau by the authorities of the State of Pennsylvania, and I feel I may also speak for the War De partment in general in saying that the manner in which your various forces of State troops have been formed" and maintained in the pres ent emergency and the effective way in which they have not only pre vented any indication of civil disor der and disturbance, but also afford ed a medium for the preliminary training of men destined for serv ice in the National Army, has been noted with satisfaction and approval by the War Department." Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very care ; fully, if you want to keep your hati ! looking its best. Most soaps and pre | pared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle ana ruins It. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mul3ified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive i soap or anything else you can use. One or two teasnoonfuls will ] cleanse the hair and scalp thorough ly. Simply moisten the hair with i water and rub it In. It makes an | abundance of rich, creamy lather, ; which rinses out easily, removing ev ery particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the j scalp soft, and the hair fine and | silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy i to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil ! at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, | and a few ounces will supply every ' member of the family for months.— l Adv. < KEYSTONE STATE GIVES TO NAVY Over 12,000 Men Taken From the Draft List to Go to the Sea Service Pennsylvania has sent 12,300 men who were in class 1 of the draft into the United States Navy or Marine Corps, according to figures compil ed by Major W. G.-Murdock, chief draft otticer for this State. This is a total greater than the last big movement to Camp Lee, the largest single movement this year. Major Murdock's figures show that 9,500 of the 1917 class and 2,800 of the 1918 class were released to either the Navy or the Marine Corps." In Philadelphia alone there were 4,250 of the 1917 class and 950 of this year's class given releases so that they might go to the sea serv ice. The quotas for the 600 men to be sent to Syracuse on August 5 for special training as guards at ports of embarkation will be taken from Camp Meade territory, owing to traffic conditions. The movements to Camps Custer and Sherman are now under way and men are being made ready to start for Camp Wadsworth Monday. ; Major Murdock has issued a cir- I cular calling attention of all local . I boards to the difference between slackers, delinquents and deserters. ' A slacker is officially defined as "one ■ who wilfully fails to register," and i a delinquent as "a registrant who i 1 fails to file his questionnaire or, j having tiled his questionnaire, fails ' to report for physical examination." ■ A deserter is "one who has been re- I ported by this local board to the ad jutant general of the army on form 1018 in accordance with section 140, i S. S. R., or one who has been re ported to the adjutant general of the army by the adjutant general of j the State through his delinquency." WEST END TO PLAY In the leading game of the city to -1 morrow, the West End squad will cross bats with the Engineers and I Firemen's team on the West End field jat 3 o'clock. Earl Waltz and Kll i linger wUI make up the battery for , West End. while Eveler and "Os" ! Waltz will perform like duties for the 1 I railroaders. The Waltz boys are brothers of "Peanuts" Waltz, who was 'killed on June 15 with the One Hun dred and Twelfth Infantry in France. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH PARK EXTENSION CONFERENCE ON Shreineer Attending Impor tant Discussion of Details of the Plans Today An important conference regard ing the plans for the Capitol Park extension and the great monu mental viaduct at State street is being held in New York city to-day between George A. Shreiner, Super intendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, and Arnold W. Brunner and W. H. Manning, who are design ing the comprehensive treatment which will make the environment of the Capitol the most attractive of any State building. It is now propdsed the viaduct shall have approaches to Cameron street and also along Royal Terrace to Walnut street. The eastern ele vation of the bridge will put it prac tically on a level with Royal Ter race. It is also suggested that the entrances to the viaduct from Cam eron street may be through the cen ter of the roadway, thus avoiding consequential damages to surround ing property. It is entirely proba ble thjit the viaduct will be at least twenty-five feet higher at Royal Terrace than the present level of State street at that point. Other matters to be considered are the building lines in Walnut, Third and North streets. With respect to the iirst two streets the lines have practically been established, but it is proposed to establish a new build ing line on the north side of North street, about fifteen feet north of the present building line. Of course, this would not mean the removal of buildings at the present time, but would provide that when new build ings are erected they- must be lo cated on the new line so that the street can eventually be widened to conform to the other streets sur rounding the Capitol. Incidentally, the matter of the railroad arrangement on the fringe.; of the park will be considered and in view of the proposed accommo dation of the various lines in one union freight station here it is thought a similar arrangement may be made as to a union passenger sta tion between Walnut and Market streets, to accommodate all the lines entering Harrisburg. It is believed that some such arrangement is in- I evitable in view of the sorroundings | of the Capitol and the erection of the j great viaduct at State street. A j union station as proposed would be in entire harmony with the whole ! plan. Another thing to which the city 1 will be urged to give prompt atten tion is the establishing of a zone 'be tween Walnut and £orth streets, ; through the Paxton Creek valley, in , which all buildings shall be limited ! to a given height. All buildings still standing in the I park extension area are to bo re moved without delay. Studio Quartet Heard in Concert Under Auspices of Scouts of Troop 20 Last evening in the Fifth Street Methodist Church a fair-sized audi ence was entertained in a delightful manner by the Studio quartet, com posed of Miss Katherine Dubbs, so jprano; Miss Louise Baer, alto: John | Fisher, tenor, and Edward Hassler, j lass, accompanied by Mrs. John W. 1 Phillips, and assisted by Mr. Malsh, | violinist, and Miss Laviniu. Buck j waiter, reader. It would indeed be difficult ac | curately to determine which of the , solo numbers excelled. Most of the ! numbers were old-time ballads. The j program follows: j "The Yellow Hose," quartet; read j ing. Miss Buckwalter; solo, "Invic f tus," Mr. Hassler: violin solo, "Cav. 1 atina," Mr. Malsh; solo, "Tim Kooney at the Fightin'," Mr. Fisher; Kentucky Babe," quartet; "Scout ing," J. Fredrik Virgin; "Kainbows," ; Miss Baer; "Who'll Buy My Laven- I der," Miss Dubbs; reading, Miss j buckwalter; sextet from "Lucia," | quartet. j The Raff "Cavatina" played by ' Mr. Malsh was beautifully given j and the concerted nuuibers partic ; ularly pleasing. The sextet from i "Lucia" was given in an enthusias ' tic and finished manner. One of the delightful features of | the entertainment were the readings !of little Miss Buckwalter. The scout | executive of the city, J. Fredrik ] Virgin, gave an inspiring address on I "Scouting." The entertainment was J preceded and followed by an ice j cream festival, largely attended. 'The scouts of Troop 20, under whose auspices the entertainment was giv en, expressed their appreciation of the generosity of the artists. District Boards and Coal Miners ! State draft headquarters to-day issued a circular calling upon ali district boards "to thoroughly in vestigate and exercise their soundest judgment in granting' deferred classi fication" to coal miners. Boards are reminded that they may reopen u case up to the very hour and day of induction and may reconsider and reclassify men from their districts. The headquarters quotes a telegram from the office of the Provost Mar shal General stating "We must look to district boards almost entirely to adjust the needs of the Army with industrial requirements" and urges that cases of coal miners be given careful attention so that the output of coal shall not be curtailed. I Reserves Will Go to Elizabethville To-morrow morning Major H. M.
