14 "SEED PILE" TO START OFF BIG RUBBER DRIVE Junk Dealers to Bid For Mass to Be Contributed For Bed Cross RUBBER DRIVK STARTS TOMORROW The Old Rubber campaign of Harrisburg Red Cross Chapter starts to-morrow morning and will continue three days. There are thousands of pounds of old rub ber in the homes and business places of Harrisburg. It is urged by MVs. Lyman IJ. Gilbert, chair man of Harrisburg chapter, that this big supply of really valu able "junk" be given to the Red cross. The individual selling bis or her old rubber will not bene fit materially, but the material benefit to the Red Cross from the sale of all tills old rubber will be great. Rubber may be thrown on the triangular plot at Third and Walnut, in front of the printed bulletin on the Post Office prop erty. There is a little "seed pile" of old rubber at the Third and Walnut streets intersection this morning; and from this seed pile Mercer B. Tate and the members of the S. O. R. committee of the Red Cross expect to see a giant heap of rubber before Saturday noon, when the first auc tion begins. Another auction will be held Monday. These two auctions, will be unusual affairs! Individuals will not be bid ders. The junk dealers of the city will bid. Auctioneer "Charley" Kns minger will conduct the sale. But before the bidding starts Mr. Kns minger, "Andy" Redmond and George Bogar will go over the pile of rub ber and pick out the good auto and "bike" tires which can be repaired and sold for further use. After that the junkmen will be permitted to go as far as they like with bids. Downes to School Children Superintendent Downes, of the city schools, to-day suggested that all scholars do what they can for the big rubber pile. "There are 14,000 pupils in the schools," said Mr. Downes. "And if each of these 14,000 children can find at least a pound of rubber at home and will give it to the Red Cross there will be 14,000 pounds of valuable junk to start with. That would mean not less than $6OO worth of rubber. I suggest that the chil dren again show the people of Har risburg what they can do in a pa triotic excursion." Particular attention is called by the S. O. R. (Save Old Rubber) com mittee to the fact that automobile tires will come in very handy. "We are asking automobillsts to Don't buy a new brass bed, chandelier, auto lamp, etc., until you have learned how satisfactorily and reasonably we can repair and refinish your old ones. The quality of our work as sures you of the utmost satis faction and the reasonableness of our prices assures you of a saving that is well worth while.

" ' ALL MEN BETWEEN r 18 AND 46 YEARS MUST REGISTER TOMORROW IN HOME PRECINCTS Do It Before Noon If Possible TWELVE PERRY SCHOOLS CLOSE Scarcity of Teachers Compels Supt. Kline to Send Pupils to Other Buildings New Bloomlield, Pa., Sept. 11. — With the school term already ad vanced well into its second week, twelve rural schools of the county continue closed because of the in ability to get sufficient teachers. This is a big percentage when it is considered that in normal times ap proximately 190 instructors are en gaged. There is little probability of these dozen schoolhouses reopening this term, and in fact at any time during the continuance of'the war, D. A. Kline, of New Bloomfield, county superintendent of schools, believes. Arrangements have been made to have the pupils ordinarily in attend ance at these schools transported daily to the nearest schoolhouses and to be taught there. Most of the closed schools are located in Liver pool, Buffalo and Wheatfleld town ships. The gap in the county teaching force due to war exigencies would have bc6n considerably greater had not efforts been put forth by Super intendent Kline to secure teachers. Five ministers are included on the teaching forces, as are eight married women. The ministers enrolled are the Rev. J. Thomas Fox and the Rev. John W. Weeter, of New Bloomfield; the Rev. Clyde Sheaffer, of Liverpool: the Rev. A. F. Dau benspeck, of Ickesburg, and the Rev. W. H. Shiffer, of near New Bloomfield.

M. C. A. These plans were announced following a meeting of the physical committee of the Central Y. M. C. A. held at Williams Grove last night with Chairman A 1 K. Thomas as the host.

As a part of our program ] discipline, posture and precision of I movement should be emphasized, I and the association program as con- I ducted in the various Army camps | should be incorporated into the home programs, special emphasis being placed on combative sports, mass games and athletics." Back of this move of the committee lurks the grim determination that the war must be won and that the Y. M. C. A. is going to do its utmost in the race for victory. | An important decision made by the committee wan that of authorizing the physical director. C. W. Miller, to seek a boxing instructor.

CROWDER CALLS FOR PATRIOTIC HELP IN DRAFT Addresses Appeal to Employ ers ajnd Other Represent atives of Industry \\ Sept. 11.— Provost General • Crowder to-day addressed to "empljoyers and other representa tives of i/ndustry." an appeal for pa triotic o-operation .with the local and district draft boards in the de termination of deferred classifica tion for/ registrants on industrial, oc cupational or employment grounds. .He said that ordinarily the regis trant will claim deferred classifica tion, tyut that if he does not it be comes necessary that "some well advised third person should look after that national interest which the registrant himself may not have suf ficiently considered." "1 wish to uauress to employers (he suggestion that they charge them selves; more systematically than hitherto, with this responsibility of the 'maintenance of the military es tablishment or of the national inter est dfiring tha emergency," General Crovyder said. "I have referred to such, third person as 'well advised,' un<J this is the place to emphasize the importance of making themselves well advised for the execution of this duty." General Crowder referred to the numbers of men already drawn from industry through the draft and vol untary enlistments, and impressed employers with the sense of the re sponsibility in determining whether an employe should be exempted for industrial reasons and the Army and Navy forced to seek elsewhere for men. in response to General Crowder's request, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has sent to its members an appeal for co-operation of employers with the government for the registration of their workers on Thursday. The chamber urged every employer give to all employes the necessary time for registration. The letter said: "The registration of 13,000,000 men in A very brief period is a task of American magnitude, which, if performed with that efficiency which brought about the original draft, will have the same astounding and de pressing effect upon the German na tion that the last month of American participation in lighting on a large scale on the western front has had."

NOT THE COPPERS Is Surely Bad Luck, and Here's Proof, Despite the Chief The members of the Harrisburg police forces almost to a man have refused to accept payment for their services of the past two weeks. This startling announcement was made this morning. With the chocks all signed and dated, they refuse to accept them. Payday comes on Fri day. Coppers usually can hardly wait, but now they are viewing that day with dread alarm. it's all because Friday this month falls on the thirteenth. The coppers are not superstitious, .oh my, no'. But—!' "Gee whiz, we've just organized a union, and we don't want any bad luck now," they shuddered. Result, Mayor Keister ordered that the men are to be paid a day ahead of time, to-morrow, the twelfth. The Mayor's secretary, C. O. Backenstoss, is scratching his head. "The checks are all dated the thir- he said, "and maybe the city treasurer won't pay them until Friday anyway. Then we'll have a strike on our hands." The coppers are serious. They won't take the money on Friday, the thirteenth. No sir, not If they havo to go hungry till next payday- Can you blame them? Rtsten to this. Chief Wetzel's name is spell ed with thirteen letters to begin with. Seventy-eight coppers on the pay roll. Divide that by six and you get thirteen. That makes them all un lucky, they say. They don't say where they pel the six, or what it means. Hyde Speese is the thirteenth man on the payroll. "What do you think of that," wont Hyde to-day, "They're trying to bring some bad luck my way." The chief scoffed. "The thirteenth is a lucky day," he said. "Why I was born on that day. I won't take my monev before Friday." Nevertheless, the coppers are get ting paid ahead of time, and if they didn't, they'd be afraid to take their money Friday.
