"What does it mean?" he was

" "Save Old Rubber!" " replied Mr.

"And why?'
"For 'he Red Cross."
This is the idea:
There .ire t.ns of old rubber loaf

right and Little Willie buys an ali

old rubber these days is worth reaij

Officials of munition and other war

and others interested in the develop
ment of Harrisburg as a great in

creased concern because of the lack
of housing facilities since the gov
ernment has just issued a decree
that war orders to sixty cities in the
country are to be cut to a minimum
because of congesting housing and
transportation conditions.
That such an order may include
Harrisburg is the fear of officials un
less something is done at once to
relieve the situation here. In all the
munition plants workmen in some
instances come from as far as York
to their work. Philadelphia is one
of the large cities included in the
