Writing on this uppermost need of the fellows ' in American training camps in England. the "Hick-a- Thrift Bible class teacher, says: "My, how one does like to learn of home! If you have any old maga zines and newspapers and get them through, do so. I save all I can, hsve also written for the Literary Digest, C. E. World and National Georgraphic to send them on. The London maga zines are nothing compared to such as McClures', Colliers' or Review of Reviews. Now, with the hundreds I have reading, it takes scratching. Wish we get some New York Worlds or Sunday papers as they do go so far." More fellows there "than you think," Whitman says in his let ter, "are trying to go back as clean as they came." The squadrons at his camp, he states, are made up of every human element from "cow hoys" to "preachers." Both classes are in need of "your prayers" ac cording to the Y. M. C. A. worker.

Government Waste of Paper Attacked; Palmer Is Criticised Washington, Sept. 16.—Representa tive Joseph Walsh, of Massachusetts, declared in the general debate on the Revenue bill, that the govern ment was affected by an epidemic of j useless publicity, asserting that paper was wasted by government depart ments and war activity boards, while the newspapers of the country were J forced to adopt drastic conservation measures, Mr. Walsh cited a number of in j stances "where either joy of position |or scatter brain administration has | cost Uncle Sam needless dollars." Among the publications he mentioned ! was the "Reclamation Record." He I also took a fling at the publicity | methods of A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien | Property Custodian. "Here is an instance," he said, "where the Alien Property Custodian desiring to dispose of the property of I George Benda, of Boontown, N. J„ a I manufacturer of some sort of pow ders. sent out a twelve-page pam- I phlet announcing the proposed sale of the Benda property under the ! 'Trading with the Enemy Act.' Or i dlnary paper would not suffice for 1 this announcement, for it was printed ! on fine coated paper 8i by 11 inches, i estimated to cost 10 to 12 cents a pound, sent through the mails in an envelope of heavy Manila paper; size 12 by 15 inches.- This envelope is an inch wider and an inch longer than The Saturday Evening Post. "Not content with the expensive paper, but probably desiring to spoil I as little as possible of the expensive pages used in the prospectus, care I was taken to have the borders on I each page almost as wide as the | space taken by the printed matter."

FORMER MAYOR TO DIRECT FRUIT PIT COLLECTIONS Harrisburg Chapter of Red Cross Is to Be Collec tion Center The Harrisburg chapter of the American Red Cross lias been desig nated as a collection center for all fruit pits and nutshells collected by the Red Cross chapters of surround ing towns. A telegram was received this morning to this effect by Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, from Charles Scott, division manager of the Pennsylvania and Delaware Red Cross. The tele gram requests that storage accom modations on a railroad siding be secured, to which all collections of fruit stones and nutshells may be sent for shipment to Gas Defense Division of United States Army, Ex-Mayor J. William Bowman has agreed to act as chairman of 1 collec tion centers, for the Red Cross chap ters of this vicinity at the request of the local chapter. All communi cations regarding collection and dis posal of fruit pits and nutshells should be addressed to him. A bulletin from the Red Cross di vision manager emphasizes the vital importance of a vigorous campaign; as the fruit season is rapidly nearing an end and the nut season will, short ly commence. The volunteer service of automobiles and trucks is request ed. Grocers have been designated by the Donald McCormick. Federal Food Administration, but it is important that all pits and shells must be thor oughly dried in ovens or by the sun before they are given to grocer or shipped; but the different kinds of pits and shells need not be sepa rated. i-ii Community clubs and school chil dren all over the country ,are col lecting tons of peach stones, apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, Brazil nut shells and shells of walnuts, hickory nuts and butternuts. These are made into a certain form of carbon for gas masks that saves .the lives and health of our boys from the poison ous gases of the Germans. Your boy or your neighbors' boy may be saved by the pits and shells you save. The grocers are helping. Bushels of them have been brought to Red Cross Headquarters, in Public Library basement, but carloads are wanted. So - save them and further instruc tions will be given. Sproul's Position Clear on Prohibition Issue The Rev. Michael J. Fanning, in to-day's Philadelphia North Ameri can, has this to say concerning the attitude of candidates in Pennsylva nia toward prohibition: "At the meeting of the Democratic State Committee at Harrisburg on September 4. Nationl Committee man Palmer declared that John Sin nott, president of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of Penn sylvania, told him "that while Sproul was not actually dry, he was credited with being dry on account of the speeches he had made before his nomination, hut that he had been forbidden to repeat his prohibition declarations and had made no r ther allusions to the subject and would not during the campaign.' "This statement involves a false hood. Either Sinnott lied about Sproul ■ being silenced, or Palmer misquoted Sinnott. Let them settle that between themselves. "On July 15, nearly two months after he had won the nomination, in a letter to Dr. B. E. P. Prugh, of Harrisburg. the contents of which were made public by Horace F. Dit man. Prohibition party candidate for Congressman-at-Large, who is heart ily supporting Senator Sproul's can didacy, Sproul reiterated, even in stronger terms than those used in his primary campaign, his purpose to use his best endeavors to procure the ratification of the national prohibi tory amendment. "Last week at the opening rally in Jlontgomery county, at College villc, subsequent to the publication of the alleged interview between Pal mer and Sinnott, in an address, Sproul again stated his intentions to be as helpful as possible in procur ing the ratification of tlje amend ment and the subsequent legislation necessary for its enforcement.

"Fair and Warmer," one of the fun niest farces ever written, will be pre sented by Selwyn and "Fuir anil Company at the Orpheum, Mariner" Tuesday evening next week. Avery Hopwood, the author of "Fair and Warmer," was by no means a I stranger to the theatergoing public I as a man who could write thirtgs that made other people laugh, long before "Fair and Warmer" was ever produc- i ed. He had written "Seven Days" and I "Nobody's Widow," and each had been 1 more than usually successful. When j his latest work was presented, how- i ever, there was no question but that It was a screaming riot, and that lie had outdone himself. It would he only ' an incurable case of blues, grouch or whatever the ailment which dispelled laughter- might be that would keep any one from laughing. "Fair and Warmer" needs a cast of competent players to bring out the best that is in it and it is such a com pany that Selwyn and Company have assembled for its presentation here.

Sept. 16. —Some of the officers, who have had long ex perience in the regular army, believe that victory will come to the Allied armies before Christmas. They point to the fact that the position of the Americans will soon enable them to attack the main German forces from the rear as well as the flanks, and they say the enemy will be forced to surrender or suiter defeat or retreat at a sacrifice of territory, which will destroy completely the morale of the German people, as well as the Ger man army.
