3,000 DILL PICKLES
FOR ROMPER DAY
Biggest Program m History of Event Being Prepared Under
Direction of V. Grant Forrer
Tho biggest Romper Day that
of er was is being planned, for next
Thursday by V. 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. Few
persons, even they who attend, un
derstand what it means to dine as
many as 3,500 at one time. 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

who was hobbling along on crutches,
having lost a log In service In France.
The three stopped and saluted, pay
ing an Instinctive tribute to the
wounded veteran. This was the be
ginning of !* custom that is growing

said:
"It Is a beautiful tribute to the
spirit which prompted the wounded
man's sacrifice and I readily give my
approval. While no official order will
be issued on tbe subject. I shall be
glad to see the members of the ma
rine corps thus show respect to their
wounded comrades."
The wounded man will not be ex
pected to return the salute, a nod of
the head, a smile or the mere recogni
tion of the fact that he Is being sa
luted being sufficient acknowledg
ment.

that's the main object of food. A

after tho sports, it is suggested that
something extra in the way of eats
be contributed by parents.
The great city outing is to start

carry the youngsters to Reservoir
Park. It is understood that the chil
dren assemble at the nearest play
ground and be ready at that hour.
Festivities are to wind up at 4.30
and the cars will be lined up to take
everybody home.

scare advised its elimination. Many
recall the other scare in the first
year, when preparations were made
to feed 600 and nearly 1,000 turned
up. It was a tragic situation and it
seemed that only a miracle could
come to the rescue. But a job that
might have balked any restaurant
did not bother the park folks, who

NEW CARS BRING
FREIGHT BOOST .
Anthracite Shipments Show
Large Increase} How Money
Is Being Used
New freight cars are earning with ,
a rush, Daily arrivals are bringing :
a big decrease In the present short
age. Coal cars are having the pref
erence at the big plants. Federal of
ficials want no idle ears and inspectors
are keeping a close watch on all rail
road sidings,
American builders, so far this year,
have delivered 48,656 ears of ail de
scriptions to the government. Most
of them went to the Allies or to the
military railways in France, Of this
number 10,694 have been coal cars
which have been put into active ser
vice in this territory. Traffic tension
has been eased by this new rolling
stock.
The car increase is also good news
for the mine workers, for the realize,
that an increased number of "empties"
at the mines means the possibilty of
more pay in their envelopes.
Where the !if T i^tnl
A government report shows that a
large proportion of the 897,199,000 au
thorized this year for construction of
now sldtngs and industry tracks was
for spurs to coal mines. This aids in
the quicker handling, loading and
shipping of coal to market.
That the car movement has materi
ally aided production and distribution
Is found in reports to A. H, Smith,
Region Director of Railroads for the
eastern territory. Transportation of
anthracite in June was 7,084,775 gross
tons, as compared with 6.857,669 tons
In June, 1918, an increase of 227,166
tons. Last month also showed an in
creased tonnage over July, 1917, of
I 360,523 (tons, which shipments
amounted to 6,724,252 tons.
| The total shipments for the first
, four months of the coal year, April
to July, Inclusive/ amounted to 27,-
208,073 tons, against 26,283,113 tons
for the same period of 1917, an In
crease of 934,960 tons.
