DIVES, , OiVIEROY & STEWART TO CELEBRATE FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE IN HARRISBURG Bis Department Store Has Had Steady Growth in the Four Decades in Which It Has Kepi Pace Witli the City Addressing Its thousands of pa-, trons and friends through the cross) of Harrlsburg on the occasion of its. thirty-fifth nnntversury In Bcptom-j her, 1913, the management of Dives. - Pomoroy and Stewart In this eltyj gave the following conspicuous place In the newspapers of the Oapl- i tal City! "For tho future we shall exert! our hearts and bend our hands un reservedly to the work of making; every part cf the store as nearly per-' I'ect as It Is possible for human; hearts and human hands to do." Now, live years later, whon this tine department store Is experiencing tho pardonable pleasurable throes Incident to celehratlng forty years, of | noteworthy achievement, It Is Inter-' osting to bo reminded that nearer, and nourer has It moved In this !lms toward that perfection of "every part" referred to nt Its former annl-l versary.

Steady Growth Without meaning to employ any! tactics of advertising In this simple • narrative of four decades of com -, mercial progress, It Is tlttlng, per- t haps, to call attention to the fact that overy department of this store,!

"Birthday Specials"! which characterize the departments i of the storo the last four days cf) this week, consisting of merchandise) of good valuo offered at prices which! make them bargains in the truest! and best sense, Is typical, in a way, of that high standard of excellence! that each department of this store) has mapped out for itself and tried ■ hard to adhero to. Taking particu-! lar care to develop the unit into the ! highest possible state of efficiency; both as to organization and quality) of goods coming under Its control! and basing lis hope for future growth and usefulness on the natural evolu-; tion of its component parts, seems to be the underlying principle of Dives, j Pomeroy and Stewart success.

BERLIN CALLING FOR AID IN WAR By Associated Press Berne, Switzerland, Sept. 20 tHavas). —The German authori ties in Berlin have instructed all Germans discharged from the army and living in Switzerland to return ti Germany for work in the rear of the tighting line, especially in guarding prisoners. German subjects here show little inclination to respond to the call, and it is believed that seventy-five per cent, of the ten thousand Germans affected will refuse to return to Germany. Police Look For Man Who Shot Italian After Brawl Police this afternoon believed that an arrest would be made during the day as a result of the shooting affair in the Union hotel, conducted by N. M. Jones, at Paxton and Railroad streets, last night in which Salva dore Talone, an Italian living at 132 Hanna street, was shot through the chest. Talone's condition is serious, it was said at the hospital. Jones had left the barroom on an errand about 9.30 last night, police said, and the Italian and three men were drinking. While he was out of the room, he heard a shot. When he ran back, Talone was wounded and the three men had tied. Talone could not tell who shot him. City detec tives are looking for the three men who were known to be in the hotel. The police have arrested and are holding two women and a man who were present at the time of the shooting. They are Maude Mohn, Florence Allison and Nick Girard, of 132 Hanna street.

BETTER HOUSING GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS [Continued from First Page,] city, the result of \we days' Investi gation. After quoting the national govern ment authorities to the effect tfrat housing makes for better production and therefore to the winning of the war, he went thoroughly Into the subject from the humanitarian and business standpoint, proving that crime and disease are closely asso ciated with poor housing and that bad borne surroundings make for tlie Increase of the spirit of Bolshevlk lsm among those who live In unlit surroundings. It had been proved, he said, that labor turnover can be greatly reduced by proper attention to housing. Has Many Sides The housing problem hp saldi has many sides, and he did not Intend to discuss local slum conditions, having come to speak of the actual short age of houses and the means of meeting the condition. In this re spect,, however, he recommended that a proper housing ordinance be passod and praised Dr. Rauniek as an efficient officer who should be 1 given full powers to correct build ing evils where he finds they exist. "He won't nbusc powers of enforce ment," Mr. Vciller assured doubt ing landlords. Recently, he said, discussing the shortage, the Chamber of Commerce! had caused a census of vacant houses to l>o made nnd 49 were found In the whole city. This was 1-4 of one per cent., he said, which Is fnr lower than the normal In New- York, which ).s ten per cent. Investi gation showed, he said, that the nor mal number of vacant houses here is about five per cent, of the total. This Indicated a serious shortage to his mind, because while there were some houses for sale or rent, the 1 man' who wanted a $2O house could ! not afford to pay $5O rent, and vice I versa, the man who wants a $5O | house cannot be content with one | for $25. Therefore the fact that there are a few houses for rent does not indicate that there is no shortage. On the other hand, he said, one of the largest reul estate dealers In the city had told him he could rent*2oo houses to-dav if he had them. Sid a Month For a Room "Yesterday during a trip about the city." said Mr. Veiller, for ex ample, "we found a family occupy ing one room and paying $lO a month for it and when we asked why thqv remained the reply was that they could get nothing better. Ten dollars a month for a single poorly located room Is a high price: about on a par with what we pay for well located apartments per room on upper Riverside Drive, New York city, when we rent by the room." "And whose duty," he asked, "is it to meet this shortage f not that of the leading citizens of Harris burg? You will hear it said that housing is a mutter of supply and demand and should be let alone: That it will take cure of itself. But It will not. This attitude reminds me of that of the man who told us a million men would spring to arms over night." "If Harrishurg needs houses the way to get them is to build them," Mr. Veiller said, "but who shall build them and how they shall be built are questions that must be answer ed." First he said it was not to be thought that speculative builders will do the work, first because they can't get the financial backing and second because they can't get the material or the governmental permission. A Joint stock company locally financed must do the work he said. He add ed that he had no doubt that gov ernment permission would be grant ed for the reason of the big part- Harrisburg is playing in the making of war industries. He urged that the necessary ground be bought cheap ly, that it be well located and -he owner be induced to take part nay in stock of the company. He said in his estimation prices of labor or building materials will not be lower for five years after the war, if then, and recalled the fact that after the Civil and the Fronco-Prussian wars about thirty years were required to get prices of commodities back to pre-war levels. "If we are ever to build houses to be of value to Harrisburg, the time to do it is now," the speaker said. He said that a housing develop ment here ought to pay from five to six per cent, but even if it yielded no financial return businessmen anl manufacturers especially would profit thereby •sufficiently in the way of better labor conditions to warrant the Investment. He advised that while provision might be made for the erection of many hundreds of houses not more, or less than fifty be built at first. Mr. Veiller added a word about rent-profiteering saying that he be lieves it only just in view of gener ally increased taxes and cost of up keep that rents should be higher in proportion to other costs, but that there is no excuse for unjust addi tions to rentals on properties al re'ady yielding a fair return to the owners.

WAR COST THIS YEAR NOW PUT AT 30 BILLIONS Congress Leaders Will Confer Willi McAdoo on the Money Problem Washington, Sept. 80.—Through the injection Of new and absolutely unexpected elements In the situation the financial problem of the govern ment begins to overshadow in Im portance every other war considera tion. Indications of how seriously thc| problem vns viewed were afforded at both ends of the Capitol, par- j ticularly after it became known yes-i terdny that General Peyton C. March. | cliief-of-staff, had informed the Ways [ and Means Committee that almost all : of the new deficiency demands of the i Far Department, amounting to more) ihnn $7,000,000,000, would have to j be met in cash. So concerned are the leaders over' the developments, requiring, as they ( r.ee it, an entirely new financial | policy, that it was determined late j this afternoon to lay the matter be-J fore Secretary McAdoo at once and i get his views. For this purpose ! Chairman Simmons of the Senate j Finance Committee and Chairman ! Shireley of the House Appropriations! Committee will confer with Mr. Mc-1 Adoo Immediately. Meanwhile members of both' Houses, who had regarded $24,000,-! 000,000 as a pretty stiff sum to be! raised, are wondering what now | methods can i>e adopted to raise In | one year at least $30,000,000,000. Of this gigantic total a large amount must go out of the country in loans, ] in pay of the soldiers in France and i for supplies purchased abroad. Upon the question of whether the | productivity of the country will be, sufficient to require the expenditures! called for varying views are held. Chairman Simmons and Chairman I Shirley were Inclined to the view i that the enbrnious expenditures map- I ped out would not be required be- j cause America could not produce so i much in one year. Mr. McAdoo also takes this view. | On the other hand the whole pro-1 gram of the War Department is pre dicated upon the theory that indus trial America can and will comply wits its demands. The suggestion is being seriously made at the Capitol that the loans to the Allies must he pared down But there is the highest authority for saying that such a plan will not he considered at all by the adminis tration. The loans will continue at the rate at which they have been going—about $0,000,000,000 a year.
