liam Dyer, 202 Main street, Steel

tion as to the identity of his assail
ants. belond the fact that they were
four in numher.
Dyer had stepped outside his
shanty to take the number of a car
which was being shifted into the
yards. On returning he noticed that
the lights were burning in the build
ing although he had put them out
when he went to take the car's num
ber. He entered his room and was
immediately knocked unconscious,
not before however, he had noticed
that there were four men present.
The police arc unable to assign any
motive to the case, unless It be that
of personal enmity, since nothing
was taken from Dyer while he was
unconscious, although he* carried a
small sum of money in addition te a
valuable ring.

RUBBER DRIVE
FALLING DOWN
Several Barrels Total of Day's
Collection; Greater Re
sults Expected
Although several barrels of old
rubber were collected from residents
of the borough by the Steelton Red
Cross chapter at its depot at the
Lawn playground, the campaign has
failed to achieve the results desired.
Mrs. S. Hiney, secretary of the
Steelton chapter said that if each
family in the borough would con
tribute hut one pound of rubber,
there would have been twenty-flve
barrels filled yesterday instead of
three. "Every family," continued
Mrs. Htney, "could easily supply that
amount. A couple feet of garden
hose, three pairs of old rubbers, a
bicycle tire, or )>etter, an old one
from an'automobile, such things are
lying around every house.
"Now Is a good time to do a little
reading up, and help the Red Cross
at the same time, for if Steelton
housewives begin to explore their
garrets and cellars. I know that we
will get a big amount."
To-day and to-morrow, the chapter
will put its rubber in a pile on the
playground, much like the scheme
used in Harrisburg. "Watch the Pile
Grow" has been adopted as the cam
paign slogan, and there will be uni
formed Red Cross workers stationed
along the Front. street side of the
playground to remind passers\jy that
there is still time to help "bounce the
Kaiser,"

day by the police and have been or
dered to appear before Burgess Mc-

Secretary McAdoo Passes
Through Harrisburg
William G. McAdoo, director gen
eral of railroads with his special
party passed through the city yester
day afternoon on the way from-a
25,000-mile trip of inspection to the

Government Turns
Down Road Work
More road projects, located In six
counties, have been disapproved by
the United States Highways Coun
cil, as nonessential at this time, ac
cording to a statement issued to-day
by the State Highway Department.
The disapproved projects are lo
cated as follows: Hollidaysburg bor
ough, Blair county; Phllipsburg, Cen
tre county; Elkland borough. Tioga
county; St. Mary's borough. Elk
county; North Annvllle township,
Lebanon county, and Farmlngton
township. Warren county.
At the opening of September 5, no
bids were received for proposed road
Improvement in North Annville town
ship, Lebanon county, and for Farm
lngton township, Warren county; but
since these projects have met with
the disapproval of the United States
Highways Council, no further con
sideration can be given to them at
this time, and the local authorities
so have been notified by the State
Highway Department.
The St. Mary's borough authorities
were unwilling to proceed with the
road improvement planned, at the
price bid, consequently, the State j
Highway Department would have re
jected the bid which was received
on August 30 for this work.

Second Round of
Democratic Row
Staged For Saturday
Another round Jn the big Demo
cratic shindy will take place in iliis
city to-morrow when the 'Palriaer-
MeCormick lingmasters will give an
other exhibition of how to boss a
political organization. The success
ful candidate of the party for gov
ernor has declined to appear before
the committee and purge himself of
contempt in refusing to heed the call
of the bosses to humble himself in
the dust. His stinging arraignment
of Palmer and McCormick has
aroused Democrats everywhere and
try as they may to belittle him. Judge
Bonniwell seerhs determined to make
his counteroffenstve a real drive.
Bonniwell's accusations against
both Palmer and McCormick are of
such a character as to have aroused
tremendous interest, especially his
accusations of political crookedness,
violations of the corrupt practices
act and boodling of the voters. Also
among Democrats here and else
where the charge that both Palmer
and McCormick have never support
ed Democratic candidates save those
of their own choosing is causing the
bosses all kinds of trouble.
Assertion was made by Judge Bon
niwell that Palmer and McCormick,
had they lost the gubernatorial nomi
tion in 1914, were ready to bolt the
nomination of Michael J. Ryan.

Lease on Life Now
"Thanks to Tanlac. I feel as flt
and lively as I did when I enlisted
in '61," says George Fox, a sturdy

sleep except sitting up in a chair.
"Believe me, I am glad I bought
Tanlac for it has given me a new
lease on life. I feel fine. My rheu
matism is gone and I sleep better
and I'm stronger all over. In fact
the way I feel now I could go
through another war and hold up
my end with the youngsters."
"It's a great medicine, this Tan
lac, and I do not hesitate to recom

Tanlac is now being Introduced
