' Halloween Festivities Called Off by Raunick As a Health Measure —. All Holioween festivities this year have been prohibited by Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health officer, as an ad ditional precaution against further spread of the influenza epidemic. The order was issued after a conference with Mayor Keister and Chief of Police Wetzel, both of whom approv ed the move and said they would co operate in enforcing It. The officials said they did not like to interfere with the youngsters and deprive them of the annual celebra tion at this time of year, but to safe guard the health of the residents of the city and the boys and girls them selves, they said it would be the only safe conurse to follow. Even small social gatherings are under the ban, Dr. Raunick announc ing that if they were permitted, it might lead to larger ones and it would be impossible to follow them up throughout the city. Danger of contagion is not over yet, the health official declared, and any gathering might result seriounsly by causing a [ second outbreak of the disease.

Com menting last night on President Wil son's appeal to the people to return a Democratic Congress in the Novem ber elections if they approve of his course. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt said: "The President's statement. Is an an nouncement that he is a partisan leader first and President of all the people second. "It is, of course, the repudiation of one of his former statements to the effect that politics was adjourned—- a statement which, of course, he has already repudiated by his action. "I have no comment just at this mo ment, but I will deal with the matter in a speech after 1 have had time to read the document which all good Americans will regard as the most lamentable appeal to politics ever made bv a President during a great war which has been more heartily support ed by all good citizens without regard to party hut which so far as there have been party differences at all has been more heartily supported by his political opponents than by his politi cal friends." Vare Defies Liquor Men at Election State-wide attention has been di rected to the meeting of the Philadel phia Republican city committee, yes terday, ut yvhloh it was urged upon ward leaders that they start their workers canvassing the city to help the Republican ticket.

Senator Vare directed a few blasts against the liquor men. "We defy them to try and make an issue of the closing of the saloons against Sena tor Sproul,' said the South Philadel phia Senator. "They are foolish if they try to unite In opposition against him on any grounds, as he Is recog nized as undoubtedly the best man to conduct the affairs of the state at the resent time, one of our greatest busi nessmen and a man well experienced in public affairs." Senator David Martin also defied the liquor men. "I don't give a snap of my fingers for them." he said, "we all know that the liquor people have no real Influence In their wards," David H. Lane was among those who urgedw the meeting to make a thor ough canvass of the city. HARRISBURG ggiggjg TTXEGRAPK King Albert and M.

BROWNWELL Allegheny County Endeavorers will pull off one of the biggest mobiliza tions of the Endeavor Society ever given in the history of the young people's work in Pennsylvania, about the middle of Noveniber in the Syria Mosque, Pittsburgh. Two big speak ers, the Rev. Daniel A. Poling, Flos ton, associate president of the Unit ed Society, with a front line war trench record, and E. P. Gates, Bos ton, editor Field Workers' Bulletin, will deliver addresses. The mass meeting will be held in the evening when Endeavorers will be provided with reserved seats, the army equipment, place in parade and a big injection of Christian En deavor enthusiasm and education. The army officers will be repre sented by the committee chairmen of the various committees. President A." H. Brownwell will lead the Endeavorers into great en thusiasm as he did,upon various oc casions. Mr. Brownell joined the Endeavor Society in 1907 at the First Presby terian Church, Oneonta, N. Y„ and later became president of that so ciety. In 1913 he was elected presi dent of the First Presbyterian So ciety, Holyoke, Mass., unfil he moved to Knoxville, where he worked on various committees and then became president of the Presbyterian So ciety. In 1915-16 he was fourth vice president of the South Side branch of the Allegheny County Union; tirst MAIL BY MOTOR PROVES SUCCESS One Route Between Philadel phia and Washington Earns Neat Sum Each Month Washington, -D. C. Cross country operation of mail carry ing motor trucks, tried out by the post office department on an ex perimental but nevertheless, big scale, during the last year, has been a great success. James I. Blakslee, fourth assistant pastmas ter general, has found that one truck route between Philadelphia and Washington, cutting chiefly through territory without direct rail connection and costing SBOO a month to operate, has in eight months developed a revenue of $16,000 monthly. Another route, into Washington, where 28 parcels a day were moved during the first month, now shows one ton of traffic each way each 24 hours. Seventy lines now operate over the country all but one east of the Mis hissippi, and there are visions of a svstem which will furnish $360,000- 000 annually in revenue for road construction or other purposes. "Why, General Pershing has 9,000 trucks damaged or ruined over on the other side," said Mr .Blakeslee, telling of the growth of the system. "I don't care what condition they are in. We want them all and can fix up and put every one of them to work. What's even more Important he's got some boys over there shy a hand, or an arm, or a leg, and wo can use them all too, in good work at good pav, that they can do. Con gress gave us $300,000 to work with and if we had the earnings of the lines themselves, we could expand almost indefinitely. As it is, $9,000,- COO will be requested by the division for next year, and 1 think it will be appropriated. People realize what we are doing. "Operating at night is the- most profitable, and we have but two ma chines doing that, out of New York. The tvpical route is about 180 miles long, 90 miles out, and 90 miles back. "Almost always the constant oper ation of the lines produces a re turn load, the universal character of the mail service allowing almost anything to be taken. The mail trucks go, come rain, storn\, or any thing, and so the traffic develops. Rates are pretty high, the lowest be ing about $2 0 a ton. That is what makes the surplus revenues. Concrete Roods Needed "Of course, we'll have.to have con crete roads, but the business can produce the money fo build them. There are some economies in distri bution of produce that are simply amazing. It has added an entirely new factor to transcontinental trans portation, and we shal just begin finding it out when more extensive operation goes into effect during the next two years." u .... Just why Mr. Blakslee sees it that way can be understood from just one commodity price list. Milk re tails now in Washington at 11 cents a quart. Milk is coming in on mail trucks direct to consumers for 10 cents a quart. Naturally the trucks are being weighed down with tive gailon cans as consumers learn of the possibility. The trucks tap milk producing territory that are outside the Usual hauling lines, and off the ruil arteries. "Where'll the roads come from to run 9.000 trucks?" He asks, "Well, there are 60,000 rural mail and star routes being operated in the L nited States now Sometimes 1 think every one of them would make a truck line. Food is being handled ten times on its way to consumer. We can cut that to live. "Watching those figures, since Do comber, when wc started, has given me a new jort of inspiration. We shall be moving the mails and mails will include a whole unexpected va iicty of things in new modes before the generation finishes. Airplanes for the thousand-mile distances, trains ior the 500-nule, and trucks for the 250. That's about the schedule." 1 OCTOBER 26, 1918. vice-president of the South Side branch in 1916-17 and then was president of the branch in 1917-18. He has been the popular cheer lead er of Allegheny county at a num ber of conventions and Endeavorers will well remember the enthusiastic delegation he brought to "Harris burg, 1916" convention. He has made a trip across the state in the interest of the Pennsylvania delega tion for the New York convention which will in all probability be held after the close of the war. He visited Ambridge, Wtlkes-Borre, South Bethlehem and Norristown, where he boosted his cheer songs. C. E. NOTES Who are we- Who are we? We are the P-e-n-n-s-y-l-v-a-n-ia C. E. Who's who?

The Market Square Presbyterian Society will hold a "Camouflage So cial" on Thursday evening, October 31, if the "flu" epidemic is abated and the churches are open by that time. Endeavorers are urged to study the topic, "The Power of the Cross in Latin America" for to-morrow. Marion R. Miller, corresponding secretary of the Bethany United Evangelical K. L. C.

A converted saloon keeper had given the use of his house for preaching, and he furnish ed the stone and materials for brick for the new building. A former drunkard furnished the lime; an other member supplied oxen for hauling materials, and a painter gave his services, so that the build ing when erected was a reminder of men that had become temples to God. L HOG AND CATTLE SURVEY PLANNED Postponement to October 30 Necessary on Account of Influenza On account of the epidemic of In fluenza, the food administration has found it necessary to postpone the state-wide survey of cattle and hogs which had been been contemplated, until Wednesday, October 30. It had been intended to use the school chil dren in the taking of this survey but on account of the closing of the schools it has been found impossible to do so at this time.
