Kew Governor Is Gathering
Data to Outline Policies;
io Leave League Chair
Qovernor-elect William C Sproul
•erday advised his friends that he
will not be a candidate to succeed
himself to the presidency of the
Union League.
Nomination for his successor will
be made at the meeting of the
League next month.
Xn reaching this conclusion Senat
or Sproul followed a precedent es
tablished by former Governor Edwin
S. Stuart, who was elected to the ex
ecutive chair, as was Senator Sproul,
during the first term of his presi
dency of the League and who there
upon decided not to 'be a candidate
to succeed himself at the head of
the club.
Potential members of the Union
League, in view of the custom wihch
has obtained in that famous big or
ganization for years of continuing
presidents in office for at least two
terms, are advocating the nomina
tion of former Governor Stuart as
President Sproul's successor. They
argue that his quitting the presi
dency when he was elected to the
Governorship deprived him of the
honor of a second term in the
League's leadership and that the
present situation pre-fellow mem
bers to vote for him, as they un
doubtely would have done had he
stood for re-election before.
Governor-elect Sproul has already
started to gather data for his in
augural address, says the Philadel
phia Inquire. He will make econ

mendations in various departments..
Not only will there be a call for a
strict accounting of the large sums
spent in various activities In con
nection with the war, but an immed
iate halt upon unnecessary expendit
ures in that direction demanded.
Senator Sproul is convinced that a
revision of the State Constitution is
necessary to meet unexpected con
ditions which have arisen since'the
present constitution was framed and
the matter of calling a convention to
revise the constitution will be put
up squarely to the Legislature.
The Governor-elect will present a
comprehensive statement of his views
In connection with the great roads
system and enlighten the General
Association as to his ideas of the
popular approval of the proposed
$50,000,000 loan for state highways.

Memorial Service Held
For Sergeant Johnson
Memorial services for Sergeant
i Ray' Edison Johnson, son of Mr. and
j Mrs. 11. W. Johnson, 1427 Bcrryhill
! street, were held last night at the
Stevens Memorial Church. Sergeant

Memorial Church boys to enlist and
was the first of that membership to
give his lite for democracy. He was
given honorable military burial in
France, October C, after having died
of pneumonia.
Sergeant Johnson was a member
of the Eleventh Supply Company, U.
S. Army. In his address of eulogy.
Dr. Clayton Albert Smucker, who
conducted the service, declared ttiat
no greater offering could be given
by the church on the altar of free
dom than the life of this young
sergeant so willingly sacrificed for
others.
Telephones to Enlist
Aid of Women in
War Work Campaign
"Hello! Is that you Mrs. Jones?"
"Well don't forget this Is the week
of the United War Work Campaign
and v/e must do all we can to raise
money .0 carry 'home' to our men
overseas. I was asked to remind
you and six other women and to
ask you to be kind enough to call
up seven of your friends and ask
them to do the same."
Thlß is about the gist of thou
sands of telephone messages that
will be sent throughout the ten coun
-1 ties of the Sixth Pennsylvania dis
! trlct of the United War Work Cam
paign Monday. November 11. the
opening day of the big drive for
I $170,500,000 for soldiers and sail
;or welfare work.
A. plan for an endless chain of
1 telephone messugcs has been work
ed out by Mrs. William Jennings,
,011 c of the vice-chairmen of the dis
trict, and it will bo set in motion
I at once. *
The Plan In short is for a certain
: numbet _,i women to-start the chain,
i Each will call up seven of her
j women friends and will pass along
I the message of the big drive. She
will usk each woman called to re-
I peat the chain of seven calls among
her friends. In this way it is be
lieved every family with a telephone
in the home will be reached in a
strictly personal way. No efforts will
be made to solicit contributions to
the fund by this method, but the
importance of the work will be borne
in upon hundreds of thousands of
I people.
! So don't be surtmsed if you get a
call about the United War Work
Campaign to-day!
All Plans Complete
All plans for the opening of the
big drive throughout the district are
completed. The campaign will reach
into the most remote sections of the
ten counties. Every man and wo
man; every boy and girl will be
given an opportunity to contribute
to the fund which means so much
to the comfort of the fighting men.
In many communities the drive
among the industrial workers i's al
ready under way and some indus

Christian Science Church
Active in Work in War;
Makes Much Clothing
Every body is taking an interest in
war relief, and because little is heard
of the work of the Harrisburg's
Comforts Committee, that is no in
dication its members are not busy.
This committee is composed of
Christian Scientists having head
quarters in a storeroom located at
355 South Thirteenth street They
solicit aid only from their own mem
bers, gratefully accepting contribu
tions-in money N or material from any
others desiring to assist.
This room has been open for
months where garments are made
from material new and old, as well
as knitted articles, most of which
are sent to the Christian Science
forwarding committee of Boston for
shipment overseas or wherever need
ed by soldiers, sailors and refugees.
About 600 articles have been for
warded by this committee, including
children's clothing of all kinds,
sweaters, socks, wristlets, scarfs,
helmets and miscellaneous articles.
Women, expert in cutting, sewing
and knitting meet at this room every
| Tuesday and Thursday to make up
j garments and teach others how to
make them, much of the work beipg
done at the homes of members.
Here baby bonnets are being fab
ricated from pieces of velvet and
silk, looking so nice and neat when
llnished it gives one a desire' to see
the little bodies wear them. Under
wear for children have been made
from old stockings, and children's
dresses from shirts. Petticoats and
baby sacks are formed from skirts
and dresses and many small pieces
of cloth remaining are made into
quilts.
One of the very interesting fea
tures of the work is the making of
boys' trousers and suits from men's
clothing contributed for the purpose.
This clothing is thoroughly renovat
ed and made up into complete suits,
looking good as new when finished.
They are clean, warm and ready to
wear when distributed by the Chris
tian Science welfare workers among
our needy little - neighbors "across
the pond." They have pockets in
them too, just the right size for a
handkerchief, top or ball, and the
mothers who make them are happy
in the assurance'of the comfort and
joy their work will give to the needy
little men and their mothers also if
they are so fortunate as to have any.
The purpose of these activities and
the quality of the work performed
in the preparation of these useful I
articles reflect 90 little credit upon
the committee in charge and those
assisting them.
