DROWNS WHEN
CANOE UPSETS
Father of Five Children' Dies
in River; First Time
in Craft
George W. Green. 259 Sassafras
street, drowned about 8.30 o'clock
last night in the river opposite South
street, when the canoe which he hed
hired from Dintaman's boathouse a
few minutes before, capsized in the
middle of the river. Volunteer
searchers found the body about 10
o'clock.
Green was employed as a brake
man in the Rutherford yards. He is
the father of five children, ranging
in ages from four to fourteen years.
George Porter, of Shippensburg,
the drowned man's lyother-in-law,
was with him. Eacl> man hired a
canoe, and after they had reached a
point about 200 yards above the
Walnut street bridge in the middle
of the river, found themselves sepa
rated by about fifty feet. It was
while maneuvering to bring their
canoes together that Green capsized.
Porter, after much difficulty, man
aged to reach the side of the cap
sized canoe, and catch Green's shirt
as he arose the third time. His
clutch was not strong enough, how
ever, and Green sank again. Por
ter's cries attracted other canoeists,
and an alarm was raised. The Hope
Fire No. 2 crew responded and in
ten minutes a searchlight was play
ing on the water. The body was
rushed to the Harrisburg hospital
when it was found, but it was found
too late to save his life.
Both men were novices, it is said,
and neither one could swim. It was
the first time Greene had over been
in a canoe.
SIMS PRAISES BRITISH

the Germans had discovered that
American soldiers were not just men
thrust into uniforms and sent off In
ships, but were fighting propositions.
He added:
"But don't you chaps get sticking
out your chests and going around
thinking America is doing it all. I
want to tell you here and now that
what Is being done by this tiny little
island is wonderful. The British fleet
is protecting us and supporting us
and getting us to the front."

Rubber Compound
Rubber compound Is an automo
bile tire protector. If used as di
rected, having been tested by a wide
use, more or less upon the road, the
manufacturer feels confident that a
wide knowledge of its merits will
largely Increase Its demands. The
facts of good results, in prolonging
the life of the tire by increased
toughness of tho fiber of the rubber,
adds many miles of life to the tire,
which materially reduces the cost of
the improved rubber tire. It Is a
valuable consideration to the owner
of the automobile. It applies to the
solid truck tires also with the same
good results. It will preserve and
keep leather, curtains and top of the
automobile and can be used with
good results on the body and wheels
