PREDICT ACTIVE
MONTH IN REALTY
August Slurts Off With No In
dications of Midsummer
Dullness Here
Men who have been observing the
course of real estate transactions in
Harrisburg and vicinity the latter
part of July are of the opinion that
there will be busy times during
August because of the demund for
houses and the fact that there is
more money in circulation than ever
before and thrifty folks are putting
it into homes.
The July records, when tinally
made up, will probably show more
transactions than known in the mid
summer month in years and it is ex
pected that the values represented in
the transfers will run well into the
hundreds of thousands. Front street
realty continues to hold attention,
but there have beep a number of
sales in the newly built up portions
of the city which are significant and
the agitation for improved housing
conditions in order to care for the
industrial population will direct
more attention to the opportunities
for developing vacant land. It was
pointed out to-day by a man who
follows realty that if Harrisburg
people did not wake up to the
chances that the suburban develop
ments would be getting the cream
within a year. At Steelton there is
a move on foot for construction of
many new houses and that town is
fortunate because considerable prop
erty not. far from the Bethlehem
Steel Works and lying right on top
of the hills is available for building.

CHANGES MADE IN
SOLDIER ALLOTMENTS
[Continued from First Page.]
through the War or Navy Depart
ment.
It would be well, said Miss Leib,
foi each Harrisburg "soldier's family
to write him calling attention to the
r.ew regulations.
In many cases men have made the
i liotments to parents, brothers or
sisters through the War Risk Insur
ance Bureau, but have not requested
the government allowance. Relatives
will no longer receive the allotment
through the bureau, but applications
must be made by the man through
the War or Navy Department. Pay
ments are to be made through Quar
termaster's Department for the Army
:>nd Navy allottment officer, Navy
Department, while the paymaster at
Wushinnton Marine Corps headquar
ters will handle the marines.
The changes were made so that
jayments may be speeded up. '
If distress results in any case
through a temporary delay Miss Leib
advises that she be notified at once.
She can be found at Red Cross head
quarters, Library building.

MILITIA UNIT IS GIVEN
A HANDSOME FLAG
[Continued from First Page.]
and for the rapidity with which they
learned their work. The company
was only mustered in last winter but
is maintaining the traditions of Har
risburg in the Army and in the Na
tional Guard. The flag was given as
an evidence of interest in the citizen
soldiery and appreciation of what
has been done in a short time.
Escorted to Island
The militiamen marched to the Is
land from their armory escorted by
Companies A and B of the Harris
burg Reserves, commanded by Cap
tains F. H. Hoy, Jr. and L. V. Har
vey; the members of the City Gray's
Veteran Corps, commanded by Cap
tain E. Laubenstein and delegations
from the Spanish War Veterans and
other organizations. Major Henry M.
Stine marshaled the parade and aft
er the policemen marched Colonel
Jere M. Leaman, Deputy Adjutant
General: Major William B. Gray,
constructing quartermaster; Captains
Moore and Douglass, and Lieutenant
Avery and men from the ordnance
depot operations. Major W. G. Mur
dock and men from the state draft
headquarters were also present and
Mayor Keister, Councilmen Lynch,
Gross, Hassler and Burtnett and
other city and county officials were
in attendance to honor Company I.
When the soldiers and their escorts
had been drawn up on the west side
of the Island, Colonel Leaman was
introduced by Major Stine and in a
few words presented Major Gray,
who in a happy speech recalled
pleasant days in Harrisburg and
lauded what the State Capital is do
ing in the way of work to back up
its splendid representation of men at
the fighting front. He complimented
the militiamen and the home de
fense organization of the city and
then Mr. Hantzman gave the flag to
his son. E. J. Stackpole formally pre-,
sented it to Company 1. Mr. Stack-,
pole's speech was one ringing with
patriotism. He voiced the pride of
everyone in what Pennsylvanians
, are doing in France and praising
| the work of the women, declared that
America had girded itself to fight the
battle for freedom and that when the
[ stars and stripes were ordered for
! ward at the Marne instead of stand
ing still that action symbolized the
spirit of the country. Germany real
i izes that defeat is coming, said the
I speaker, but will strike hard to ward
| off the blows which must be sent
j home and which the Pennsylvanians
will deal so that the Prussian _ will
I trouble no more. Mr. Stackpole's re
marks were interrupted many times
jby hearty applause from the audi
ence which was very much in tune
with his sentiments.

ICE CREAM FREE
OF DISEASE, HE SAYS
[Continued fpun First Page.]
bids any colon whatever and a mini
mum of 500,000 bacteria per fifteen
drops of lluid. By studying the re
port it will be seen that some Har
risburg providers still sin in not e'i
u.inating colon, which is a greit
danger It will also be seen that
the Greek-American establishment
sold ice cream one day which con
tained 72,000,000 germs per fifteen
drops, instead of the maximum,
500,000. This particular Ice cream
was made of sour milk.
The severe restrictions applied by
: Inspectors Hughes and Park, of the
food inspection division of the health
bureau, resulted this year in about
one-half of the milk dealers jotng
cut of business. A number of nilk
men were sued for low percentage in
fats, and the necessity of perfect pas
teurizing was made so emphatic that
now 90 per cent, of the handlers have
a thorough system. The milk is heat
ed to 145 degrees, held there twenty
to thirty minutes, then cooled wry
rapidly to 40 degrees. If the cool
inp process is too slow incubation
results. This bothered many manu
facturers, but recently this mistake
has been eradicated.
"There should be no scarcity of
milk." said Dr. Raunick. "Milk is
! plenty. And no one need fear to
eat ice cream. It will give no one
typhoid. The only way I know of
| Rotting that disease is by swallow
i ins river water, so that I would
j caution swimmers, if they take a
; nouthful, not to swallow It."

serves, which hud formed on either
side of the guard as escort, presented
arms and the drum corps played the
Star Spangled Banner. The escorting
I Reserves marched down the Held and
then across to Major Stine where
they again presented arms and the
color guard went to the center of the
battalion formation, the escorting
company marching to its place in the
line. The bugler then sounded "To
the colors" and the battalion was
presented to Major Stine who had it
pass the visiting officers in review.
After the review, which was given
on the double quick to the intense
I pleasure of the audience, Captain
I Harm's company gave an exhibition
drill and then had a company song
fest. The Reserves held forth in an
other part of the held going through
riot drills and being given somo stiff
training by Captain Hartman in var
ious formations. Company I marched
home singing with the colors at the
head of the column.
The flag presentation is one of the
prettiest pieces of military ceremony
and last night's event was the first
here in which so many men had
taken part. It was followed with the
greatest attention by the old soldiers
of the City Grays and the Governor's
[Troop and the Spanish War men,
while the militiamen fresh from
camp went through their part with
snap and a very evident pleasure.
Major Stine was complimented upon
the manner in which his Reserves ac
quitted themselves.

precarious and it seemed to be ten
able only if it were intended to be
made use of in the starting of an
offensive. The retirement appears
to indicate the abandonment of any
attempt at an offensive in that
quarter at present.
One the main battle front in the
Soissons region the French after
completing their occupation of Sois
sons have occupied the south bank
of the Aisne between Pommiers and
Venizel, a distance of .ipproximately
five and one half miles, advices re
ceived to-day show.
Burning Supplies
On the easterly side of the Sois
sons-Rheims front, the line to which
the allies have advanced runs, ac
cording to the latest advices, from
Serzy-et-Prin and Sivigny, both in
the Ardre Valley, to the highest
point on the plateau between the
Ardre and the. Vesle, and thence to
Rosnay. Gueux and Thillois and on
to the Vesle at St. Brice which is on
the original line.
Burning villages in the area north
of the Vesle river, between Muzon
and St. Thierry, indicate a further
withdrawal of the German forces Is
intended. Fourteen large fires have
been observed. The important cen
ter of Fismes is in flames and there
are great conflagrations in two vil
lages to the northwest of that town.
Retirement is Rapid
The retirement of the forces of the
German crown prince now appears
to be of a very r&pid character.
There has not been a great deal
of lighting, certainly not in the area
southeast of Soissons, and it is un
likely that any large captures of
prisoners will he reported.
To the east of Rlieims French
forces have made an important re
covery of ground near St. Hilaire.
