Borough Reaches Million
Dollar Mark in Drive
Three Hungarian employes of
the Steelton steel works who were
alleged to have accompanied their
refusal to buy Liberty Bonds yester
day with depreciatory remarks about
Uncle Sam and the government in
general, were taken from their occu
pations by Chief of Police Grove and
hailed before Deputy United States
Marshal Smith. Once before the
marshal, the trio subscribed to bonds
aggregating $1,250. Eight other
Hungarians who had similarly re
fused to purchase bonds when ap
proached by salesmen, consented to
change their minds when confront
ed with arrest.
Those who were arrested but
later subscribed to the Liberty Loan
were James Egerszogi, 262 Chris
tian street; John 80gar,484 Mohn
street, and Joseph Fehel, 465 Mohn
street.
The million dollar mark was pass
ed yesterday in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign add ilgures will be
posted this morning at Front and
Locus streets, showing the total. A
noon yesterday subscriptions totaled
$990,950.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
It is curious, but the things a
mother appears to most highly es
teem in a daughter are the quali
ties she is apt to be deficient in her
self.
If the mother is a good seam
stress or a good housekeeper, or a
thrifty and economical administra
tor of the family fortune, she re
gards these gifts as negligible on
the part of her daughter. She may
go even further, and cherish a
vague If not a positive antipathy to
! her daughter becoming proficient in
any of these things.
"I don't wish Gladys to learn how
to sew," one of them once said to
me; "if she doesn't know how, some
I one will always do it for her—l
know," she finished rather bitterly,
"because I've spent my time sewinft
for all the Incompetents of the
family.
So Gladys was not taught to sew,
Instead she went to "a finishing
school." And took music lessons
and French, though she never really
learned either accomplishment.
"The Spring Song" was her highest
musical flight, but she could never
play it consecutively. And her
'French would not have carried her
farther than ordering lunch in a
cafe where the menu was written In
that language. But her mother
persisted in the belief that if her
daughter did not know how to do
all the useful and interesting things
in which she excelled, somehow life
would be easier for her child.
And doubtless there is one Gla
dys, at least, to every inree fami
lies in the United States. Some
times the ratio is three Gladys to
one family.
The chances for happiness and
usefulness of such a girl are be
ing spoilt, because her mother im
agines she would enjoy being the
parent of "a society girl" or a high
ly successful woman of the world
I and she begins an attempt to hoist
| her daughter to the top of the lad
;der by cutting away the inter-
I vening rulings, the theory being
I that Gladys must reach the top be
cause she Is entirely unacquainted
with the bottom.
There may be no money in the
family; no prospects, nor any con
spicuous talent, but mother persists
!in her fond delusion that if Gladys
pays as" much for her hat as Eu
nice Vanderpool, with whom she
went to school and who is heiress
to a few millions, daughter's
chances somehow or other will ap
proximate those of Eunice.
So the family goes without and
Gladys gets the hat, but no miracle
happens.
Nothing a Year.
For the same reason, Gladys, af
ter completing her course at the
finishing school, does not take up a
profession or go into business. Her
destiny Is to be "a society girl" on
father's salary as a bookeeper, de
partmental chief, confidential clerk
or assistant something or other.
It Is a pretty Clnderella-ish busi
ness, but mother is sure the prince
is going to discover Gladys. The
girl Is rather fed up on the prince
legend, as It has not been so long
ago she stopped reading fairy
stories and taking them seriously,
and she is quite willing to sit
around, look pretty and wait till she
is dlseovere'd.
But as the years go on the prince
proves to be rather a poor Sherlock
Holmes, he doesn't discover Gladys
or make any attempt to do so, and
she gets rather peevish waiting for
him to come and find her.
She notices that the girls \frho
have gone Into business at the same
time she started her career as "a
society girl," on nothing a year,
have nearly all married young men j
whom they met in business and
these young people are now wholly
occupied In buying a house Ui the
suburbs, saving for a Ford or pride
fully relating the baby's latest
trick.
j Gladys no longer feels very much
at home with these yoyng married
I people. Their Interests seem such
j miles away -from hers it is hard to
i get on the same plane with them
:even for conversational purposes.
, She feels superior to them in being
j "a society girl," and yet they have a
i homely happiness that she can't
jhelp resenting. Somehow or other
j the world seems to be passing
! Gladys by.
| And yet she keeps right on being
helpless-—-and like Mr. Macawber,
waiting for something to turn up.
Her mother continues to manage for
her; she still does much of her sew
ing and mending, waits on her and
j apologizes for the delay in the
prince's appearance.
I Mother Responsible.
I Mother having begun the princely
legend, feels it is up to her to make
good with the mythical son-in-law;
j she feels responsible for him and
I his failure to materialize is a
source of keen mortification to her.
To retrieve poor Gladys and her
hopeless prospects, her mother
would cheerfuMy go to v the stake."
Her maternal Instinct warns her
that it is now too late to teach
anything practical to Gladys; the
time has passed when a girl regards
a successful culinary flight in the
kitchen as an achievement. There
is no great adventure in a spoiled,
disappointed girl's making a batch
of doughnuts, or a -cherry pie—
these things have to be taught
young.
Glady's cake invariably turns to
dough; that is the history of the
type. But the great war has given
such as she the chance to redeem
I the spoiled loaf. She may now turn
it into toast, or a pudding, and
serve it with sauce, piquante and
convert what promised to be an ut
ter failure into a partial success.
For it has given "the society
girl" on nothing a year, a chance
do honest work, to redeem the
utter folly of her mother in trying'
to make of her a product of elegant
leisure on an empty pocketbook.
She would have been ashamed to,
embark on a career of usefulness'
without the magnificent excuse of a
world war. That saved her face—
it enabled her to work honestly and
not wholly abandon the "society",
legend, because she was working
for patriotic reasons—Gladys is do
ing her bit.
And after the war the world will
be such a changed place that she
will never be obliged to go back to
that terrible niche she once occu
pied in the family, that of a "so
ciety" Cinderella, waiting for the
prince who never came.

tomatoes, especially in northern and
central counties and they were fol

weeks in southern counties., The
winter also came early and much
corn remained in the field until
Christmas.
r S t frosts of any vigor came
this year on September 11, but were
more or less restricted and not so
severe as those of about the same
time last year. Other frosts were
reported the first few days of Octo

general, but have not been very
harmful as people were prepared
tor them.
Healings Off—The Public Service
Commission has canceled all hear

would have included several impor

ployed on "a war road" or section
of highway which is essential to link
up improved roads used for moving
army trucks and the government
and state have made contributions
for the work. In Dauphin county
the prisoners are working on a state
highway between this city and San

It is not the expectation of the
