TO LOOK AFTER
TREES IN'DUE TIME'
[Continued from First Page.]
have two old trees removed down \
in Race street. They have grown out '
over the street and if an auto truck j
or lire apparatus would attempt to
pass them with a street car on the
other side of the street it would be I
impossible for the machines to get (
through."
Oilier Cuuneilmrn Know
Investigation showed that Commis
sioner Gross lias these facts right ,
even if he had fofgotten just what
his powers and authority were as j
park commissioner. The two trees j
extend over the highway .and some |
of the liark has been peeled off by ;
trucks scraping them in passing be- j
tween the street cars and the curb.
Other members of Cotincil paid little
attention to Commissioner Gross' in
quiry about who might have juris
diction over the shade trees as it
was certainly apparent to them that
those matters were not in their de
partments. So they suggested that
Commissioner Gross have the trees
removed and replace them with young
ones from the-city nursery.
Indefinite -Due Time"
When this will be done Is a ques- ]
tion. Commissioner Gross has shown ■
so much luxlty in shade tree matters I
that after repeated promises during j
the last few months he lias to this i
date never introduced an ordinance j
in council creating a Shade Tree Com- j
mission. Other members of Council i
have time and again called his at- j
tentioti to conditions in the city and |
in his usual manner he has promised '
to take action but has never done so. !
Commissioner Burtnett, in particular, j
several times reminded Gross of his
duty. On one of these occasions the 1
park official replied, "We'll take care j
of that in due time.". That time ,
hasn't arrived yet, if one may judge |
from Commissioner Gross' inactivity. !
Yesterday Commissioner Burtnett |
again complained remarking that a
branch front a tree had struck him ,
in the face the evening :
missing one of 'his eyes by barely i
an inch.
"I-'ences" \l Trees
During the summer with the ex- '
ceptlon of attention to some of the j
trees In city parks, other shade trees !
were entirely neglected. In a few !
instances private residents took suf- j
flcient interest in their trees to get
a permit from the park department
for trimming or spraying but thou
sands of other trees received no at
tention.
During the spring of 1917, almost
two years ago, Commissioner Gross
thought he would soon have the
Shade Tree Commission ordinance
ready for Council. It wasn't intro
duced that year. Residents of the
city think Gross may have been so
busy getting votes for re-election
that he didn't have time to concern
himself about preserving shade trees.
This year the same promise was
forthcoming from Mr. Gross and now
the leaves are nearly all on the
ground, soon there will be snowflakes
in the air, and the ordinance has not
even been read in Council.

GREAT TASKS CHEERFULLY
UNDERTAKEN BY RED CROSS
WORKERS OF HARRISBURG
Demands of the Army Are Met on Time and Slill Women
Bmtl Time to Meet Emergencies at Home; Many
Help Great Organization
Hail to the Harrisburg Red Cross
workers!
With the first chajiee in three
weeks to take a # full breath, to-day
the order went out that 7,000 pairs
of socks and 4,000 sweaters must be
produced by this chapter before
February 1, not to mention 3*>,OoU
pads and many other necessities.
The great institution under the
management of such women busi
ness managers as might put to shame
a Schwab or Hoover, knew to-day
in looking over the record of its
magnificient co-operation in the in
fluenza, that it had made good, and
there was an air of intense satisfac
tion for the call was a stupenduons
one. As Mrs. Lyman Gilbert recall
ed, the very first toscin sounded
when the dread disease made its ap
pearance here. It came from the Mid
dletown Aviation plant: "In heaven's
name can the Harrisburg Red Cross
supply us with some nurses, bath
robes" and hospital garments?"
It was then that the six-cylinder
system of our local establishment
showed its speed and efficiency. In a
jiffy the motor maids were winging
to the stricken camp with nurses'
aids and all sorts of essentials for
use in pneumonia hazards. Finding
that many colored men were among
the sufferers, an appeal was made to
the Colored Emergency Aid, headed
by Bertha Zedricks, and this organ
ization responded instantly so that
the colored men victims at Middle
town had the very best of attention
and service. Two physicians, Cramp
ton and Marshall, were very active in
this feature of the great human
drive to save lives in our own vicin
ity.
Unlike many another industry, the
Harrisburg Red Cross Chapter, was
not capsized with the sudden demand
to convert its resources from the
usual routine to one Entirely new
and unexpected. Among Hehetlds
of this organization are Miss Anne
McCormick and Mrs. Mercer B.
Tate, who grasped thp situation in
stanler, and Mrs. Tale, who guides
the producing part of the factory
dropped all war work immediately
and set her forces to local efforts.
Big Demand For Masks
Far and wide came the requests
tor face masks and the record to
day showed that ten thousand of
these were made, the volunteers
often sticking to the job all night,
and thus were supplied Harrisburg
Hospitals and those in twenty out
side places. Pneumonia jackets were
one of the greatest boons supplied
by this chapter, a soft, comfortable
affair which eased the sufferer trj
niendously*.
System was the cry, and so the
work was partitioned out, covering
such activities as nursing, house-to
house visiting, food and supplies and
transportation. In the latter Mr.
Burtnett, of the National Defense
Council, made himself so useful that
the Red ('ross women say he may
have a permanent job there.
Here was a crisis which illustrat
ed the vision and preparation of the
local fchapter, for nearly 250 girls
hud been graduated as nurse aids
and the heroism displayed by this
band will be part and parcel of Hur
risburg's gallant war record. Hos
pitals and private homes for a radius
of miles were supplied with these
capable girls, many of whom had
thrilling experiences. The visiting of
destitute families and there were
many, fell to the mangership of
Miss Rlngling, who proved herself
most competent.
The State Emergency Hospital, but
more especially the City Emergency
Hospital, established at Fifth and
Seneca streets, found themselves
greatly indebted to the Red Cross
for their nurse quota. Dr. Itaunick
paid the aids highest compliment.
Food and nourishment to suit a
pneumonia patient, was the next call
and a hurry call, too. Mrs. "William
Jennings knew precisely how to
handle this and in a very short time
hundreds of matrons, high and low,
were making good rich eoups, bullion

At the front, perhaps, tfie great

| In the trenches, the Salvation j
'Amy, the K, of C., and the Y. M. I
.and fruit desserts. The motor nie6-
(sengers hurried these delicacies in
some instances to points twenty miles
from town. Red Cross enlisted the
help of the Catholic Sisters who did
a noble part in visiting the sick and
supplying needs. A committee form
ed of Mrs. Edwin Herman, Mrs. E.
jj. Stackpole and Mrs. Knisely, look
jed after "cookery for the sick" and
j they wore able to keep up to the de
mand so that visiting nurses were al
|vvays provided with broths and cus
tards when they made their trips of
mercy.
Many Do Bit
I A much appreciated co-operation
■ was that of the Poor Directors who
Idid all they could to obviate any
i one being buried in Potter's Field,
'ni as far as the law permits. Here
jthe Red Cross showed its facility for
| handling an emergency uncommon,
! for on two occasions, itpaid enough
[cash to save victims from this dis
j grace.
i The Red Cross organization was a
i life-saver to physicians who soon
! found that they cou,ld get almost any
[kind of help there. Nurse aids were
'called out at all hours of the day
'and night to take over cases, admin
ister stimulants, thus releasing the
'doctor for other duties. An odd task
Iwas that which Miss Watts set her
self, looking after the well. Her
job was to help before the disease
jattacked and she accomplished
Auuch good.
| Mrs. Gilbert wished to have it
known how generous the stores, the
State Capitol and, in fact, all em
ployers were in permitting nurse aids
to leave their employment and help
in the epidemic.
Even small girls did their bit, un
der a systematic regime which kept
them visiting homes where children
were to be toted about in baby car
riages, the motlaer and family being
down with the flu.
Surprising was the response from
rich and poor. One day an ill-dressed
man came to the door and insisted
on giving a five-dollar.hill. They tact
fully suggested that he must need it
himself, but he insisted, saying, that
he gave because he sympathized
j with the unfortunate. Many other
similar incidents were recorded, so
that the Red Cross in this dilemma
[assumed the attitude of a great
1 benevolent institution, fulfilling all
[sorts of demands.
Necessarily, all war work c eased,
[and hence the emphatic call now for
return to the muking of stockings,
sweaters, surgical wrappings and all
j things needed in the military hos
ipitals. Women of the city have shown
perfectly splendid spirit, comnijnt
! Ed Mrs. Gilbert to-day. There are no
class lines whatever, and many of
jthe best workers are women With
Ismail income and much responsi
bility.

I Since late yesterday afternoon tiie
I local Bureau of Vital Statistics re
| ceived reports of nine deaths from
I influenza and two from pneumonia,
j Yesterday there were thirteen deaths

t The report that a local physician
! charged exorbitant lees for medical
i treatment has been submitted to
I representatives of the Daupliin
! County Medical Society, it was
| learned to-day, and official action
may be taken soon. ,
j Physicians in the city who have
I refused to treat patients during the
j present epidemic other than those
upon whom they call regularly, have
| been severely criticised by Health
j Officer Raunick, who said to-day he
I has learned of a number of instances
;in which doctors refused medfeal at
tention to persons who called at their
I offices.
! One case of this kind was cited by
! Dr. Raunick and the man is now
!In a serious condition at the Emer-
Igency Hospital. He eanie there last
j night and had a temperature of 104
'degrees, with all symptoms of in
, iluenza. When asked why he had %ot
i called on a doctor, the man replied
he had seen a downtown physician,
[whose name he gave, and the patient
said the physician refused to give
any treatment, referring him to the
hospital.
To Make Investigation
; Dr. Uatinick declared that all such
cases will be investigated by him.
| What action will be taken to stop
[this dangerous refusal to treat per
[sons who are ill has not been decid
jed, but the health bureau may find
;a way to deal with such physicians,
the authorities said,
j Unly a few cuses of the disease
(were reported yesterday, but the ban
iclosing amusements and other places
where large crowds congregate may
ibe enforced for several weeks yet, as
Dr. Raunick said it would be unwise
(to lift it too soon and have a second
; outbreak of the disease.

DOUGHNUTS ARE
FILLING A VOID;
Soldier Boys in France Even
Eat 'Em For Break
fast
I'nrlM, Oct. 12 (by Mail). —Search
through tlie American Expeditionary
Force fails to disclose any man who
sees nothing to the doughnut but the
hole. Every tighter over hern might
have been born in New Knglund,
where they eat 'em for breakfast, so
profound is the reverence for the
Oreat American Doughnut. Its popu
larity has been made unanimous by
tlie Salvation Army, the K. of and
the Y. M. P. A., the battletield repre- j
sentatives of the seven service agen
cies combined in tho United War |
Work Campaign for $170,600,000. To I
impart a suggestion of what dough
nuts mean as gastronomic delights to
American fighting men, let the story I
| of Jimmy be told.
Jimmy hadn't eaten a doughnut i
since he left America, of rather since
he had left the ancestral shades of'
I Pike county for training camp, lie:
I had dallied witli a chunk of indigesti
btlity camouflaged under that nume j
in a restaurant of tho town near his i
cantonment just before embarking for |
I France. It looked like a doughnut,
I but it was a terrible thing, all weight
i and no Joy.
j But Jimmy was in France now, in a
: large base town that swarmed with I
people strange to his ulien eyes and j
jhe was Homesick for America, for j
Pike county and the folks who had !
known him from the cradle up and j
| who had pampered his tastes in food j
with loving understanding. Even the I
restuurant doughnuts wouldn't be so
bad now he thought, for the system
atic exercise and healthful life he hud
led since joining tho Army hud trans
formed his usual vigorous appetite
into a continual obsession for food—
then more food. . There was plenty of
"chow" at mess, but he craved the .
liner manifestation of the chef's art.
Doughnuts, for instance.
As he stood there, a vagrant breeze
wandered into the kitchens of the
Y. M. C, A. cafe a few doors down the
street and out again. It enveloped
Jimmy in a fragrant cloud and his
senses reeled. Could it be? No, he
was simply delirious and soon an am
bulance would come and take him
away, but he would enjoy that delic
ious odor of doughnuts while the fun
tasy lasted. But the frangrnncc did
not evaporate; it grew stronger, and
unable to stand the suspense any
longer Jimmy elevated liis nose and
followed that aromatic trail as un
erringly as any pointer in pursuit of
a fat flock of quail.
It led him into the Hrd Triangle hut
down the street and there—oh! unbe
lievable sight was a large platter of
delicately browned, plump doughnuts
reposing with proud confidence among
other platters of comestibles such us
only Americans can concoct. A real
American girl stood behind the coun
ter and passed out cakes, pastries,
cream puffs and doughnuts to the
hungry mob of doughboys who lined
the stand three deep.
Between bites of the luscious com
pound Jintniy talked with the Kill who
told him about I lie efforts of the Y. M.
C. A. to make life more enjoyable for
the boys in olive drab by running: a
cafe, maintaining: readinK and writing?
rooms, and gttgin( a movie or a vau
deville performance every night.
Of course, there are no records of
individual sales but that night there
was one well-known representative
of Pike county who was willing to
admit, with the amiability born of a
| sntisfied stomach, that for once in his
life he had hncj enough doughnuts.
Senators Drop*Kitchin's
Dual Tax on Profits
Washington, Oct. 23.—The Kit
chin war profits taxes and excess
profits taxes went by the hoard yes
terday and has been predicted many
times the Senate Finance Commit
tee substituted an altogether new
plan for taxing business profits. The
committee also completely revised
thesurtax rates on individual in
comes.
lation to taxes on business is believed
The Senate committee's plan in rc
by the committee to bemore in con
formity with theideae of the Treas
ury Department than was the Kitch
iin plan. It is also their belief that
it will be in a general way less bur
densome to business and will meet
much of the criticism levelled at the
taxation scheme of Mr. Kitchin. Tho
committee did not eliminate either
the war profits tux or the excess
prolits tax. It has worked out a com
bination of the two along what it
believes to be more equitable lines.
The effect is to lighten the burden
materially on ordinary business prof
its while still heavily assessing swol
len prolits. in tumbling over the edi
liee erected by' Mr. Kitchin the com
mittee has invited a stiff light in con
ference, as the excess prolits sched
ule revised yesterday was one of
Mr. Kitcliin's pet projects, and the
majority leader of the House is cer
tain to make a determined effort to
secure its retention in the bill as it
jflnally was agreed upon.
Under the Kitchin plan the excess
prolits rates are 3D per cent, on the
amount <of net income exceeding the
credits allowed and not exceeding 15
per cent, of the invested capital, 50
per cent, of the amount of net in
come between 15 per cent, and 20 per
cent, of the invested capital and 70
per cent, of theamount of the net
income exceeding 20 per cent, of the
invested capital.
