Enforcing law Comparatively
little trouble in enforcement of the
dog license code is now being re
a ported from the State Department
of Agriculture. As the result of a
series of opinions from the attorney
general and some suits brought in
various counties against constables
and dog owners, in which the State
Police co-operated, the procedure has
been pretty well laid down and late
reports indicate that unlicensed,
ownerless dogs have been pretty well
thinned out and that county com
missioners are insisting upon clear
ing out such dogs from farming and
sheep raising districts.
.More Out In Ea.-t—More hunters
seem to have obtained licenses and
gone out for the tirst week of the
hunting season this year in the east
ern counties of Pennsylvania than
in the western, according to reports
t coming to the offices of the State
Game Commission. In some of the
eastern counties the licenses issued
have been up to the number of last
year, largely due to the fact that
many men have taken an interest
in quail propagation and that squir
rels are reported abundant. Quite
a number of the western counties
have closed to hunting of quail,
pheasants and other game to per
mit them to increase and this ac
. counts for the absence of many
hunters.
Watered Milk Again—Fifty-five
arrests for the sale of milk contain- |
ing less than the state standard of
butter fats and in some instances
watered have been ordered by
Dairy and Food Commissioner James j
Fcust as the result of the taking
of several hundred samples in Alle- I
gheny, Clinton. Lebanon. York,
Philadelphia and other counties.
Some of the samples were taken in
restaurants and others from milk
wagons. The inquiry into food con- |
ditions has been under way by the j
commissioner's men for two months j
and over 2.100 samples of various
kinds in addition to the milk have
been taken. Five arrests for the |
sale of cold storage eggs which were (
sold at fresh egg prices and not
marked as cold storage at all. as
'required by law. have just been
made, and six for the sale of butter
which was water logged, one sam
ple being thirty per cent, water.
These arrests were in eastern
counties, while in central counties
seven arrests have just been made
for selling of alleged non-alcoholiic
drinks which had the intoxicating
properties of high-proof whisky.
I riscd to Work. "Classifications
of the vounger and older registrants
of September 12 should proceed as
eapidly as local conditions warrant.
It is quite probable that during the
coming week, many local bards in
the state can safely resume physi
cal examinations" says a notice is
sued to-day by Major IV. G. Murdoch,
stale draft officer. Turks and Bul
garians who have not declared their
inuntion to become citizens are to
be placed in class 5-F.
Worked an Hour I.onger. Of
ficials and attaches of the state gov
ernment worked an extra hour to
dav without being aware of the fact
in many cases. Owing to the fact
that Saturdav is ordinarily a holi
day on Lapitol Hill and that there
are clocks in the big ouilding.
Joseph Pyne, the official clock re
pairman, started turning back the
clocks an hour in accordance with
the davlight saving plan early to
day. In a number of departments
j.ttaches had to work because of the
loss of time during the influenza out
break and went by the clocks as al
tered.
To Ileport Tuesday. All of the
election commissioners appointed by
the Governor to take the votes of
Pennsylvania soldiers and sailors, ex
cept the two men assigned to the far I
northwest, have been summoned to ;
come here Tuesday to take the oath j
of office and to receive instructions ;
and supplies. To avoid conflict with i
the antimeeting order they will ap- <
pear in small groups at the office of
Secretary of the Commonwealth
"Woods at different hours of the day.
The supplies including ballots and
pollbooks were delivered at the de
partment to-day.
Township In Hard l.uck. Spring
field township. Delaware county, to
day filed an unusual complaint with
the Public Service Commission, al
leging that it had been charged $4,-
1*52.60 for fire hydrant service by the
Springfield Consolidated Water Com
pany, of near Philadelphia, "without
any service rendefed, actual or poten
tial." There are seventeen com
plaints against the fire hydrant
charges of the company, which were
made after an order had been issued
by the Commission establishing a
basis of rates for service, but none
of them is like that of the township.
It is declared that it was not a party
to any of the complaints wherein the
order was made by the state author
ities. but that it considers the rates
made as unfair, excessive and unrea
sonable. The township, says the com
plaint has no fire hydrants, has nev
er asked for any fire service and
does not want any because it is a ;
rural community, composed chiefly of
farms. Owing to the system of mak
ing charges according to mileage of
mains and the fact that the com
pany's plant and thirteen miles of
mains are in the township it has been
charged for service.
\o Compensation. The State
Compensation Board in an opinion bv
Commissioner Scott has disallowed
compensation in Bell vs. .American
Sheet and Tin Plate Company, Pitts

SATURDAY EVENING.
| Steelton New Items j
MAIL, MESS AND
MONEY FOR HIM
Soldiers Always Look For
ward to These Three; "Y"
Is Ntxt to Home
Raymond H. Suydam, son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. W. Suydam, 222 Locust
I street, one of Steelton's well known
' boys now in service In France, has
written another interesting letter to
the folks at home. It was written
to his brother Harold, who is a stu
dent in the Steelton High school.
The letter follows:
"Dear Brother: —I sure was glad
to receive so many letters from home
in the last mail. There are three
"M's" a soldier nlways looks forward
to and they are Mail, Mess and
Money. We certainly do get enough
to eat but it is always the same
thing. Two vegetables 1 leave when
I leave the army are string beans
and carrots.
Get White Bread
"We get nice white bread over
here as the government has its own
bakeries. We can get milk also for
J. 09 a quart, but we must pay $.09
for two tomatoes. We haven't seen
corn since we left the States. It
grows in the southern purt of
France, but not around here as the ,
nights are too cool. You can buy
almost anything you want at the
Y. M. C. A., that is the nearest thing ;
to a home we have over here.
"The way things look we will be
home before long. It sure will be
a great sight to see the Statue of
Liberty again. Do not think I am
discontented, —far from it. 1 m
feeling great and get plenty of ex- I
ercise and enough to eat so why I
should I worry, it's a great old life, j
"Our job is coming along fine, j
We are laying railroad tracks and
we work in all kinds of weather. If j
it rains we put on our gum boots >
and rain coats and keep on work- i
ing. so Harold, you want to know
what vou want to do before you |
enlist." 1 was very much surprised j
when I read the names of the boys j
who enlisted. Y'ou listen to me |
and finish you Senior year for you |
may never get to France as the war ;
may be over by the time you are j
through training in the States.
Take Long Hike
"Four of us took a hike of five
miles and came to an old chateau
that was built in the twelfth cen
tury. It is the largest and most an- I
eient one I have seen since 1 am in
France. It is built of stone and is
crumbling away at many places.
"1 was in the hospital to see one
of our bovs who had his leg broken.
I was talking with a fellow who was
wounded in the American drive a
round Chateau-Thierry. He has
been at the front since 1914 and
was wounded three times. He cer
tainly has had some experience.
"I now see where 1 wasted two
vears learning the Hun language
and it onlv came in good once. That
was when I told a Hun prisoner what
1 thought of him. The prisoners
have "P. G." painted in white on the
back of their coats and trousers.
"I haven't seen a trolley car since
the day we left the city where we
landed and that car was about half
the size of our Oberlin cars. AIT
the streets over here are cobble stone
and you do not see any large stores
or hotels.
Visits French Dentist
"I went into Nevers to see a den
tist about crowning a tooth. They
do no kind of work but for the
French soldiers. I saw the dentist
who is a colonel in the French army.
He has thirty dentists under him
and he has charge of the hospital.
His office reminds me of a barber
shop; the chairs are all in a row and
a dentist to each chair. All the
dentists and girls who help them are
dressed in white and all wear white
caps. I saw the Colonel who looked
at my tooth. Our army dentist
isn't allowed to do any crown work
and he advised me to see the French
dentist. He told me it would cost a
civilian sls but for a soldier he will
only charge for the material which
is $9.
Studied in Philadelphia
"He received his training in Phil
adelphia ten years ago. The French
government sent five of them to ln
iversity of Pennsylvania to study the
American methods of dental work.
Now each one has charge of a den
tal hospital somewhere in France.
"His English is fine. He seems
to be about 40 years old and is a
nice fellow. He was glad to talk
with some one who was in the same
place where he studied four years.
He said he liked the American cus
toms very much.
"His office was the size of ours
at home only the straight chairs
were hard on the neck. His bed
was in the same room. You should
see the cover on It. It was of bright
colors with designs of dragons,
birds, dogs, etc. on it. He had
beautiful hand painted pictures on
the wall and a velvet rug of bright
colors."

Noonday Prayer For
Red Cross Workers
In accordance with the request
received from the national Red Cross
Headquarters that local chapters ob-
I serve the silent minute for prayer
; at noon every day for the success of
I the American and Allied armies, the
j local chapter will observe the silent
i minute officially as soon as the
quarantine will allow them to resume
i work at the chapter headquarters..
J In the meanwhile the officers ask
| that every member observe the rnln
! ut of prayer in their own homes or
j wherever they may be at noon. This
| is a commendable move and it is to
be regretted that this order was not
issued a long time ago.
Mrs. W. H Nell has been named
chairman of the committee to handle
j '.he Christmas boxes for the boys
I overseas. The rules made by the
War and Post Office departments
and the Red Cross for the sending
of these packages were published in
the Telegraph some time ago, and ■
; friends and relatives who desiro to
forward packages to France are I
asked to observe the rules. No
packages will be forwarded except j
in accordance with the rules then 1
established. Cartons will be pro
. vided by the local chapter of Red
| Cross to all persons having the regu
i latjpn government labels which are
forwarded by the boys Overseas to
their relatives here.
The annual business meeting of
the local Red Cross Chapter will be
| held November 20th.
Influenza Epidemic
Is Rapidly Waning
The influenza epidemic is rapidly
waning according to all the reports
from physicians and the emergency
hospital. Very few new cases were
reported by local physicians and
only two new patients have been re
ceived since Friday morning in the
emergency hospital. In the same
period of time the emergency hos
pital reports only one death. With
this improvement continuing there
is every reason to believe that the
first of the month will see the lift
ing of the quarantine in Steelton.
The improvement of affairs, how
ever, will in no way warrant any less I
care being taken by the residents of I
the town, and will not make the !
cleanup scheduled for next week any ]
less thorough. Chief Grove will in- !
sist upon a thorough cleanup and |
will enforce it to the full extent of i
authority. While Chief Grove is en- i
forcing the cleanup order in the j
town the health officer will in all
probability lend his aid in enforcing
a cleanup of the interior of homes in
the unsanitary sections of the town.

Soft Drink Makers
to Get Less Sugar
Phllnileliihiia, Oct. 26. The food
administration has ordered another
drastic cut in the supply of sugar.
Yesterday manufacturers of soft
drinks, with the exception of those
who make grape juice and cider, were
notified that beginning November 1,
they must reduce their present sugar
consumption 75 per cent. Manufac
turers of grape juice will be allowed
50 per cent, of their present allot
ment. Both cuts are based on last
year's figures. All manufacturers of
any of the commodities used in the
preparation fo soft drinks will also
receive only 50 per cent, of the
amount of sugar they used during
the summer.
Furthermore, all manufacturers of
soft drinks are instructed to reduce
their output 50 per cent. This ruling,
however, does not apply to the manu
facturers of grape juice and cider.
They may make all they desire, but
their product cannot be as sweet as
it was heretofore.
The sugar allotments for household
use will be held rigidly to two pounds
a person a month.

hopper of a coal car was jarred
open.
H. W. Cathcart, fuel inspector of
the Reading division is seriously ill

double pneumonia.
Lewis Berger, a passenger engi
neer on the Reading railway, run
ning between Cressona and Lykens,
dropped dead while oiling his loco
motive at the Cressoija roundhouse.
The Reading railway officials have
posted notices calling attention to
the change of time at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning, October 27, when the
clocks and watches will be turned
back one hour. On single track all
trains must come to a standstill at
2 a. m. and at that hour conductors
and englnemen will turn their
watches back one hour and will not
proceed except under train order,
comparing watches with the clock at
the next telegraph office.
Henry V. Rupp, of Carlisle, has

Troop I3 y s Knot Board
Some months ago ift it meeting of.
jthe patrol leader, it was decided to'
have each patrol add something of '
i scout interest to the decoration of j
i the scout room. The Cobra patrol!
had at once a meeting and called j
into its assistance an employe of the !
Hell Telephone Company who helped i
them in arranging the following ad- I
dition to the troop's property. That j
is the knot board consisting of j
twenty-nine knots which all scouts
should know. Now tieing knots:
might be a simple matter for any i
scout, but to tie them neatly and I
correctly and then fastening them j
to a board in a way that any tender- !
foot could see how the knots were
tied is a difficult job.
First the question of a good board
arose. It could not be too bulky nor
too large and it had to have a
smooth surface and after many dis
appointments. the right board was I
found; but. oh, my, a scout is clean
and neat and so anything to repre
sent the Cobra patrol must keep to
these rules, so the board was given
four coats of white paint. Then
came the question of rope and titty
live feet of one-quarter-inch rope i
was secured and divided into even ,
lengths which meant over a hundred ;
ends that had to be wrapped in|
scout form; then the small holes had i
to be drilled through the hoard and j

Wilson Appeal Reflects
Democratic Desperation in
Congressional Elections
Washington, Oct. 26.—Senator Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania. Republican,
said last night concerning the Wilson
appeal for votes:
"It was only a short time ago that
the President declared that politics
should be adjourned. It is evident
that he has been compelled to aban
don this position, because defeat is
confronting the Democratic party at
the approaching election. As a last
desperate resort the full power of
the President's office is brought into
play.
"The Republicans have published
their estimates of gains In Congres
sional Uisstriets and in Senatorial
elections in the states, which give
good proptise of giving the Republi
cans control of both the House and
Senate. The accuracy of these esti
mates is confirmed by the confidential
estimates made in Democratic circles,
which actually concede the Republi
can majorities in both branches of
the next Congress. Many other con
ditions have combined to persuade the
Democratic leaders that their party
Is likely to be defeated In New York
and other large states so far is the
state tickets are concerned. Ihis
statement, therefore, is a last des
perate effort to save a situation
which, in my opinion, is past saving.
"Certainly the record of Republi
cans in both branches of Congress is
superior to that of the Democrats in
support of all war measures. The
Republicans are freely permitted to
pay the great bulk of the taxes End
to furnish apparently the larger part
of the troops on the firing line. Jt

Gentlemen:
My attention has been called to the efforts of your
Company in its work in the conservation of gasoline.
I am writing to say that I appreciate the effective sup
port that is being given in this connection and hope
that each one of its employes will lend their aid and
co-operation to furthering the Company's patriotic
efforts in this important matter.
Gasoline is a vital war necessity. No army today can
fight without it and it is essential that the supply thereof
be kept ample on the fighting fronts in France. A
direct shortage of gasoline was the cause of the gas
olineless Sundays, and while these Sundays are now
discontinued, there is still a shortage and it is being
left to the patriotic conscience of the operators of
automobiles to comply with the Fuel Administration's
request for a continued saving in its use.
All that you do to aid in fostering this conservation
movement, even though it may mean that you will sell
fewer gallons, will be a direct aid in helping to win the
war and your support is heartily appreciated.
Thanking you in the name of Conservation,
Yours faithfully,

"This is not Wilson's war or the

of the American people. Mr. Wilson
needs all the help he can get, but he
is, after all, only a part of the gov

play equally with him. No treaties
can be made without the consent of
the Senate, and I have i.o hesitation
in saying for one that the American
people will desire greater assurance
that we will have no peace except
by surrender and no economic ar

Is AV El
Gasoline
Every Day
The saving of gasoline by Pennsylvania motorists alone during
September, by patriotic compliance with the "Gasless Sunday"
request, was about 15% of the normal consumption of gasoline in
the State. From 2,250,000 to 2,500,000 gallons were saved. j
I Motorists should continue to save
at this rate, because of the vital needs for gasoline to drive air
planes, ambulances, motor trucks, tanks, tractors, submarine chasers
and other war engines for early victory. *
s,ooo,ooogallons can be saved
during October and November
Savings now, by avoidance of all waste, whether due to
inefficient operation or unnecessary use of cars, will in
all probability permit you to use your car regularly arid
without further official measures, for all justifiable uses.
"Save a gallon a Week
The lifting of the "Gasless Sunday" request means that the saving
must be made every day. Without hardship, we can continue to do
our duty every day by saving the same amount that was saved on
September Sundays. This can be done by conservative use of cars
and by proper attention to every detail of operation.
" When every gallon counts,
count every gallon"
