tory, the president. Mrs. Frederick

It was reported that during the
influenza epidemic the society fur
nished eggs and oranges to the sick
and needy. An account of the sum
-1 mer's work conducted undeV the di
rection of Miss Mary Miller of the
Visiting Nurse Association was most
interesting. Through Mr. llershey's
generosity in furnishing the ice
cream at cost, tho society gave a
party for the inmates of the county
almshouse on Saturday, August 17,
furnishing ice cream and sweet
Crackers and later in the season Mrs.
Carson Stamm generously donated
peaches as a treat for them, which
they thoroughly enjoyed.
Many cripples were taken to Phil
adelphia for examination and treat
ment and this phase of the work is
growing to such an extent that the
society may have to consider the
advisability of making a .public ap
peal for a Sunshine automobile to
take these ufflicted ones back and
forth to the station and to be used
continuously for Sunshine work. New
braces were purchased for several
children and the children at the
Manada Gap home were given a
watermelon party. The Sunshine So
ciety decided to pay for tho milk
furnished in the city schools for
deficient children for one month and
made its usual contribution to the
Associated Aid Societies. A gener
ous contribution toward the work of
the International Sunshine Society
in charge of Mrs. Alden, the found
er, was also agreed on.
Two delegates represented the
Sunshine Society at the opening of
the mental clinic and two Sunshine
cases have already received the at
tention of the clinic. The society
signified its eagerness to co-operate
with the new clinic in every possible
way.
Plans for the Christmas work of
the society are already taking shape
and preliminary visits are to be made
by Sunshine members of the homes
of crippled children and shutins. All
members are urged to take an active
part in the Christmas work and to
attend tho December meeting when
final plans will be made.

LIEUT. GOVERNOR
.ELECT SPEAKS
Senator Beidleman Principal
• Speaker at Noon
Luncheon
In a rousing patriotic address at
an informal luncheon of the Univer
sity Club to-day, Senator Edward E.
Beidleman, lieutenant-govornor-elect,
said that Pennsylvania Americans
have done more to bring about a
successful conclusion of the war than
any other state of the Union. Sena
tor Beidleman stated that one-eighth
of the entire American Army, that
made defeat to Germany possible,
was composed of Pennsylvanians.
Sixteen per cent, of all the money in
the country necessary to win the
war was furnished by Pennsylvania,
and that of all the munitions manu
i factured in the United States, Penn
sylvania had manufactured over
forty per cent.
The Senator stated that he felt
he could say some things at this
time which might be misconstrued
before election, and he then added
that in" the rehabilitation of the
world, and in the reconstruction per
iod that will affect this country,
Pennsylvania is fortunate in having
chosen for its next governor William
C. Sproul. He then showed how the
new governor-elect's broad experi
ence as*a legislator and man of af
falrswill place him in a position to
guide the state through the re
construction period to follow. Truth
must be our guiding principle in the
future of our political relations at
i home as well as abroad, this was
Senator Beidleman's message.
After the songs and cheers that
filled the club's rooms had died
down, President Howard R. Omwake
of the University Club, introduced
Mr. Beidleman. In making some
announcements Mr. Omwake said
that the club will begin a series of
"hobby" meetings. These are plan
ned to be discussions at a common
table of international relations,
postwar construction, social and eco
nomic problems and other present
day questions of common interest
Mr. Beidleman, in his address, com
mented upon this plan, saying that it
is at such gatherings, and by such
clubs that people can be started on
the right tract of thinking. He
urged that it was a duty and privi
lege to so sift out the truth.
After cheers had been given for
Mr. Beidleman, and the singing of
America, the meeting disbanded.

The letter concludes with the short
sentence, "I am safe."

ASH COLLECTION
CONTRACT TO BE
LET BY COUNCIL
New Rules Provide For More
Frequent Collections in
Winter
Directing the bureau of ash and
garbage inspection to prepare speci
fications at once, to be approved by
Council, and then advertise for bids
for the removal of ashes, rubbish
and refuse from the city during
1919, city commissioners took action!
to-day looking toward another con- '
tract for waste removal for next
year. An ordinance authorizing the
inspection bureau to make arrange
ments at once and get bids, was in
troduced by Commissioner S. F.
Hassler and passed first reading.
At the same time Commissioner
Hassler subniittod an ordinance pro- |
viding all necessary regulations for
collections of ushes. A conference
of the members of Council will be!
held before the ordinance Is passed
on first reading. If approved in its
present form it will make a number
of changes In the present collection
system, providing removal of ashes
once a week in winter months and
twice a month in summer, from
apartment houses, and semi-monthly
from all other places all year. It is
also hoped to have daily collections
from hotels, restaurants and office
buildings. Ashes and refuse are not
removed from these places under
the present agreement which ends
December 31.
Commissioner Hassler explained
that to carry out the provisions of
the ordinance a larger appropriation
may be needed, as the bids will be
high. No estimate of the probable
amount which muy be asked in bids
from contractors has been made by
the officials.
A number of other requirements
to promote satisfactory collection
service have been included in the
proposed measure. Among these are
rulings that the contracting firm
must have complaint forms to be
used in notifying the Inspection bu
reau if occupants fail to have ashes
and refuse ready for removal; re
ceptacles to be provided by house
holders must not contain more than
one and one-half bushels, no dump
ing of ashes in alleys, on streets or
in any public place or private prop
erty, penalty of not more than j 100
fine or 30-days in jail for violations.
Commissioner Hassler was author
ized by Council to have new grates
. and blowers installed in the boilers
at the filter plant. The cost of the
improvement will be $1,8,75, but the
I it coal will probably exceed
25 per cent., it is estimated.
The commissioners also passed a
resolution permitting tho discon
tinuance of lights lit the reservoir
and lilter plant, placed there because
of the war and danger of damage to
tho city's water supply by German
sympathizers.

Archangel, Nov. 9.—Bolshevik

severe losses.

after a heavy bombardment from;
their gunboats and barges in the 1
river, the Bolshevik infantry stormed l
the lAllied barbed wire entangle- 1
ments and succeeded temporarily in

Marconi Engineer Takes
"Static" From Wireless j
New York, Nov. 19.—Roy A. Wea- '
gant, chief engineer of the Marconi!
Wireless Telegraph Company of j
America, it was announced yester- !
day, has perfected an invention '
which has taken the "Static" out of I
wireless telegraphy, thereby remov- j
ing the greatest obstucle to the clear
transmission of radio messages, j
"Static" if the presence in the air I
of a large amount of uncontrolled)
electricity. It often, and for con- I
siderable periods of time, made it j
impossible to send wireless messages, i
because the operator at the receiv- j
ing end could make nothing out j
of what was being sent. "Static" to
wireless telegraphy was what the old !
buzzing used to be on a long-distance !
telephone wire, making it impossible j
for the receiver to hear anything
but the buzz.

Solf Pleads Anew For Modi
fication of Armistice
Terms to Foe
London, Nov. 19.—Germany wants
the terms of the armistice modified
so that she can have economic inter-,
course with the territory on the left
bank of the Rhine as before the arm
istice. Dr. Solf, the foreign secretary,
says in a wireless dispatch received
here. The message is addressed to
governments of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Italy.
In view of the close economic rela
tions between the country west or
the Rhine and the remainder of Ger
many, the preservation of which is
necessary "to the continued peaceful
development of Germany." Dr. Solf
asks the modification of some dozen
points concerning this region,
i For Instance, lie asks permission
i for German owners to exploit as here
tofore the coal, potash and iron ore
mines nnd the general free use of
the Rhino for transport within the
old boundaries of the German em
pire.
The foreign secretary also asks
permission for free navigation by
way of Rotterdam nnd the coast for
the provisioning of Germany; the
[ continuation of industrial pursuits on
the left bank of the Rhine for the
use of the remainder of Germany, and
free railway traffic in occupied ter
ritory.
He repeats the previous protest
against the surrender of means of
j transport and protests against "con
■ tinuation of the blockade." He con
| eludes by saying that attempts by
I German delegates to discuss these
matters at Spa had been unsuccess
ful because the representatives there
of the Allied countries lacked the
necessary powers.
