Grant Forrer, as sistant park eupei inicudcnt, who, away back in 1909, was the first to suggest this royal, wholesome romp for Harrisburg children and lirst to suggest to the late Samuel Kun kel that he donate funds to supply eatables for the youthful merrymak ers. "This is the happiest day of my life," declared Mr. Kunkel on the first celebration. He was then a member of tho Park Commission, and that he spoke from his heart was manifested when his will dis closed that he had left $7,500 the interest of which is now used to provide a dinner for multitudes of children. Romper Day—or Kunkel Day, as it is now to be called —is one of the big outdoor events in the United States. Originated here by V. Grant Forrer, the idea has been accepted all over the country, and many cities are now imitating Harrisburg.

This wus the number that sat down last year, and the attendance Is expect ed to be about the same on Thurs day. Being war times, there were some new essentials to be taken care of this year, among them the assent of the food commissioner, and he finally gave his O. K. to the follow ing supply: 3,000 sandwiches, of MEN ORDERED FOR SPECIAL SERVICE Cumberland County Boards Sending Large Number to Irfbtitutea and Colleges Carlisle, Pa., Aug. 28.—About bov. enty-flve young men registered on Saturday for service with the two Cumberland county local boards.
