8 ROAD LOAN IS APPROVED BY BIG MAJORITY State "Pulled Out of Mud" With 75,000 Votes to Spare Returns received up to noon to-day indicate that the majority of Penn sylvania counties yesterday in vot ing on the proposition to bond the state for 650,000.000 for road purposes reversed their attitude of 1913; and as a result the bond issue carries by a vote approximating 75,000 to 100,- 000. The count on the amendment is slow, of course, but William Jen nings, treasurer of the Associated Highways Organisation of Pennsyl vania, at noon declared that Pennsyl vania "has indeed voted to pull it self out of the mud." e The campaign to secure favorable action on the bond issue proposition was waged by the Associated High ways Organization of Pennsylvania, an association formed in this city early last spring. The officials named at the organization meeting were as follows: John S. Fisher, Indiana, president; Dr. P. T. Johnson, Erie, vice-president; William Jennings, Harrisburg. treasurer, and M. H. James. Harrisburg, secretary. John tj. Fisher is a former state senator and was intimately associated with the 1913 bond issue campaign. Dr. Johnson is a prominent official of the Perry Highway Association. Mr. Jennings is president and Mr. James secretary of the William Penn High way Association. Splendid Campaign For the last two months the As sociated Highways Organisation has carried on a quiet- campaign for the bond issue. Associated in the work were the majority of good roads or ganizations of the state. The asso ciation enlisted the efforts of 14,000 individual Pennsylvanlans who agreed to "take ofT their coats" in the effort to get better roads for Pennsylvania. These 14.000 workers, enlisted by the associated highways, were scattered in every county of the state. In addition the individual memberships of the numerous road boosting associations were put to work; and these gave an additional 15,000 hustling advocates of better highways. Mr. Jennings and Mr. James directed the campaign from this city. Hundreds of thousands of pamphlets and placards were dis tributed from Harrisburg during the two weeks preceding the election. The publicity campaign, in direct charge of Mr. James, reached every section of the state, through the hearty co-operation of the news papers. In all Pennsylvania only four newspapers criticised the bond issue proposition—and two of these papers were Harrisburg publications. Motor clubs joined in the effort to get better highways for Pennsylvania. These clubs, the road organizations, Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, department stores and motor truck manufacturers paid for adver tising space in the newspapers. "Boiler plate" was used by hundreds of weekly newspapers. "It is certainly refreshing to know that the people of Pennsylvania have not only elected Senator Sproul Gov ernor, but that they have testified their confidence in him by voting at the same time to entrust him with the consruction of what is to be America's greatest highway system," said William Jennings to-day. "That the money will be well spent we are all well satisfied. When the war is over Pennsylvania will be in a posi tion to put itself on a 365-day road system—and use i( while it is being paid for."

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NEWS OF STEELTON CORP. SCHMIDT IS WOUNDED' Tfiok Part in. Big Attack of September 26, and Was Shot in the Leg Joseph Schmidt, of Enhaut, this morning received a letter from his son leo, who is a corporal with the 316 th Infantry in France, telling him of the big attack of the latter part of September in which he took part and was wounded. The letter fol lows: "X wrote you a short letter the other day, but had very little to say in it. I have more news for you this time. It is not very much, but I want you to know so that In- case you see my name in the paper as be ing wounded you will not worry. It is nothing really serious, and as soon as I get out of this hospital I will be back in the ditch. I have been shot in the righ leg just below the knee, j It struck a bone, but I do not think 1 it did much damage, and I will prob | ably be out again in a few weeks. Now, do not think the Huns got j the best of me, for we boys surely did give them plenty. We had a hard | time keeping after* them: they were j moving homeward so rapidly, and the ; Yanks were right on their heels. 1 : will have some great stories to tell I you when I get home. I was in the thick of the attack ! for three days before they got me, and I sure did my share before they did. You have probably read of the ! big attack started on September 26. I was wounded in that attack on the 28th, late In the afternoon, right in front of the Huns' flrft line. It took until Monday before I got to the hos- I pital and was operated upon. (The Red Cross is certainly doing fine). That was some attack. We captured a lot of Huns, but killed a whole lot more. Of course, they got a few of us, but very few in comparison to what we did to them. The Huns have fine dugouts, all | fixed up as though they* had expect- J ed to stay for some time. Plenty of i beer In them, more titan we gave i them time to drink. The yalso had ; a fairly good supply of bread, which ate." Emergency Hospital's Last Patient Dies Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock.

MORE CLOTHING BADLY NEEDED Home Nurse Reports Many Cases of Dire Distress in Need of Assistance Although the Associtaed Charities of Steclton has made numerous calls for clothing fpr infants and children up to 12 years of age, not half enough has bfen received to clothe the many childres.that have been left orphans as a result of the epidemic. Associated Charity workers report many cases of dive distress which should be attended to immediately. In mcny homes conditions have been dis covered much too bad for publication, and these must receive attention im mediately. Miss Winship. the district home nurse,-is doing all in her power to alleviate the distress, but the cases are too numerous for her, and the de mands have been so much greater than the receipts of money and cloth ing that but a small proportion of the needy cases have really been attended to. There is sore need of children's undrwear and clothing of all kinds for infants. Such articles, or money with which to purchase them, wgl be received for the purpose by Mrs. C. A.

She has shown me in minor ways that she cares for me. but how much is uncertain. . Before I began to show my affec | tion for her she was intimate with j another young man, a friend of mine. ! She had a dispute with him and told jme he was completely out of her mind. Recently this man has started to pay her attention again, and she is accepting his invitations while en deavoring to make me believe that he | hasv not the slightest chance of be j coming the friend he was. ' As I love this girl very much and do not wish to lose her, I would ap- | predate your advice. PERPLEXED. The only direct method of ending such anxieties as your is to tell the girl you love her and ask her to be come engaged to you. But I know no other way of overcoming your dread of your rival and your fear that the young woman you so much admire is playing with you. IS LOVE A DISEASED DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: About a year ago I met a young man two years my senior. A month ago he introduced me to a friend I with whom I fell In love. They are both 20. The lirst friend adked me to marry him, but I did not give him any answer. The second asked me, and I grasped the opportunity and said •yes." They both want me to marry them before you go away. MARION. If you are so deeply in love, and are beloved in turn, and have promis ed to marry your suitor—just what do you wish to be advised about? I am afraid you haven't been outspoken enough with the first young man. and that you now have a somewhat guilty ! feeling in regard to him. You should I lose no time In explaining the whole situation thoroughly to him and ac cepting whatever blame you may feel you deserve. The second young | man has, however, every reason to re : gard you as bound by your enthusias tic promise to him, unless your pa ; rents disapprove of your marriage or ; engagement. ASHAMED OF HER FIANCE DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am vecy much in love with a young man. but am ashamed to go anywhere with him. as he is very ig • norant of etiquette. , Every time we go on the street he walks on the in side. He does many similar things. He'seldom treats me and When he does he busy cheap candy. Yet he has good habits and does not smoke, chew or drink. I hate to give him up, but all the girls make fun of me for going about with him. CONTANT READER. If you are truly in love, the small things you mention ought not to trouble you. Don't you think it's ex tremely frivolous to think of "giving up" a young man because he isn't fa miliar with all social observances and does not buy expensive candy? Try looking at his side of the question.
