Teachers of State
In order to ascertain the total
number of children throughout the
state who have been left orphans or
half-orphans by reason of the recent
epidemic of influenza several thou
sand questionnaires were sent out
to-day by the special committee to
collect information appointed by Dr.
B. Franklin Royer, acting commis
sioner of health.
The State Department of Health Is
intensely interested in the placing of
these orphans in suitable homes
where they will receive the best of
care. Dr. Royer believes that when
the canvass is complete it will be
found that the influenza has left in
its wake between forty and fifty
thousand orphans throughout the
state Jp,: addition to thontsfjiHis tif
saddened homes from which at least
one parent is missing.
The committee conducting the
canvass includes Dr. Nathan C.
Schaeffer, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, chairman; Dr. Samuel
M. Humill, Council of National De
fense and Chief of Division of Child
Hygiene, secretary; Bromley Whar

Dot Leetlc Chcrman Band
Is Ausgespiit by the War
and Wave of Prohibition
Heading, Pa., Dec. 18.—Washington
Camp, P. O. S. of A., which publishes
a quarterly review, in the last num
ber devoted some space to Reading's
former famous German band. It said:
"Well up near the top of the list of
benefits due to the war we must find
space for the record of the elimination
of 'Dot Little Cherman Band.' It is
augespielt. It will probably never
again venture to practice its sehreckf
lichkelt upon peace-loving neighbor
hoods.
"For, If the present anti-Toutonlc
I feeling were not enough to chock its
reappearance in public, the abolition
of the saloon, which is to be effected
later as a war-time measure, will
surely administer the death blow.
For the latter was always a necessary
conling station for the German bands
cruising through the city streets.
"Moored to the empty kegs on the
sidewalk, they always played their
loudest and darndest."

Sproul Asks People
to Join Red Cross
Governor-elect William C. Sproul
has called upon Pennsylvanlans to
day to Join the Red Cross. He said in
a statement yesterday:
"I have marveled at the stories told
me of what the Red Cross has been
doing In France, and Italy, und Rus
sia. I-have wondered at the valor and
heroism of the men and women of the
Red Cross ang_back of it all I see the
marvelous support of the American
people, who have never fulled the Red
Cross when it called for help.
"This support must continue. If the
Red Cross is to depend hereafter for
its working memberships, as announc
ed by Chairman Davidson, It means
that all of us must be members. We
know what the Red Cross did during
the Galveston flood, the Eastland
wreck, the Tltnnlc disaster, the Perth
Amboy explosion, the recent influenza
epidemic, and similar catastrophes.
We must make It possible for it al
ways to be in readiness for such calls.
"We must make It possible for It to
continue its work in Europe. The de
mand upon us is insignificant, momen
tarily speaking. We are asked to
spend 81 for a membership. 'All you
need,' says the Red Cross, 'ls a heart
and a dollar." Let us prove that Penn
sylvania has both. Only a. few days
remain of the membership campaign.
I urge that Pennsylvania muke Its
population the membership, quota—
and go over the top!"

CHICAGO CUBS ARE
READY TO START
WITH VETERANS
Ban Johnson and Frazee in
Bitter Row Which May Make
Trouble in Organized Ball
•Chicago, Dec. IS.—The roster for
the coming season of the Chicago Na
tional League team has been so far
completed that it was said to-day at
the club's headquarters Manager
Mitchell would probably enter the N
pennant race with the same playars
he had at the close of last season,
with the addition of Grover Cleveland
Alexander, star pitcher.
Thirteen of the Cub players now
are in the United States service, but
the management expects that nearly
all of them will be discharged 1 efore
the opening of the baseball season.
Unless Manager Mitchell .lakes
some trades,, it was said, the lineup
at the start is likely to be:
Alexander, pitcher; Killifer, catch
er; Merkle, first base; Kilduff, second
base; Hollocher, shortstop: I'ick. third
base: Flaek, right field; Paskert, cen
ter field; Mann, left field.
Vaughn, Douglas, Tyle- and several
more pitchers probably will be on the
bench, besides Infielders Deal, Zelder,
Wortman and McCabe.
The Johnson-Frazee feud that
threatened to disrupt the maj:>r
leagues at a time when harmony
among dltih owners Is the crying need
of the hour, burst forth afresh yester
day when the owner of the world's
champion Red Sox unlimberal his
heavy artillery upon the American
League potentate.
Frazee's pointed retort is In re
sponse to Johnson's deliberate attempt
to befog the controversy over the for
mation of the National Commission by
dragging gambling Into the discus
sion. Although it is an open secret
that gambling on a smalt scale ob
tains In most of the major league ball
parks, Johnson has singled out Frazee
for attack, and in a statement issued
Saturday hinted broadly that unless
Frazee made haste to unload his base
ball interests in Boston, Johnson
would deprive him of his franchise.
Frazee divulged for the first time
that the recent meeting of the Amer
ican League in Chicago was not so
peaceful as Johnson would have the
,public believe. Johnson was opposed
■to the utmost In his efforts to swing
a unanimous -Cote of the league in
favor of retaining the National Com
mission as at present constituted.
Frazee and Charles Comlskey, tpwner
of the White Sox. took a firm stand
in behalf of a one-man Commission.
Frazee deplores Johnson's efforts to
make gambling an Issue in the pres
ent controversy. He sets forth that
vigorous measures have been em
ployed to stamp out the evil In Bos
ton and In every other ball park on
the major league circuits, and calls
attention to the fact that Johnson
was discriminated against, when it is
an open secret that gambling on a
small scale obtains at all grounds.
Extermination, Says Frnsee
"It has seemed to me to be a war of
extermination on the part of Mr.
Johnson." Frazee asserted, "and has
been ever since I bought the Boston
American League ejuh. The state
ments he has made that he would
drive me out of baseball are too lidlc
ulous to dignify with an answer. .So
far as being forced to sell my club,
this also is too absurd to deny."
That Johnson hns had enough pf
Frazee" and desires him out of base
ball because of his aggressive antag
onism, has all too obvious to
baseball men for months. There hns
been hitter entity between them ever
since Frazee bought the Red Pox trom
Joseph Lannin without even consulting
Johnson. Whether Johnson would
dare attempt to force Frazee -ojt of
the game under the present circum
stances is doubted.
Frazee has called Johnson's bluff
and now awaits the latter's move.
The Boston owner Intends to resist to
the utmost every effort of the presi
dent of the league to dislodge htm.
If Johnson should make good his
threat and file formal charges against
Frazee of permitting gambling In Ms
ball park, it would precipitate \n ex
posure from which Wie fair name cf
baseball would be sure to suffer.
That Johnson, who draws $25,000 a
year as salary, should take It upon
himself'publicly to rebuke the Boston
club owner is the subject of '.he fol
lowing pointed paragraphs In Fra
zee's retort:
"I have at all times sought to eon
elder Mr. Johnson's position, but 1 can
not allow myself to think the man
who is drawing a salary to protect
the Interests of the American League
could so far forget himself as to
charge a club owner with permitting
gambling In a ball park, to .vent ills

I insist on managing my own busi
ness, in which my own money is in
vested.
"I think thnt Mr. Comiskey and oth
er have the same feeling in
the matter as to managing their own
affairs as I have, but Mr. Johnsan
feels very content to lot them alone
and use me as a particular target. Jf
Mr. Johnson has any desire to go into
the gambling situation In bßseball
parks other than my park in Boston.
1 will be pleased to go Into the natter
with him as fully as he may oesire.
"I am sick and disgusted with the
entire affair. Isn't It a sad commen
tary upon the good name of baseball
to think that s man in Johnson's po
sition, representing investments of
close to n million ■dollars, would "top

Don't Waste Coal just to get
the Bathroom Extra-Warm
You do like it extra-warm for a bath. Surely. But
isn't it wasteful to fire up the furnace just to get that
one room warmer than the rest of the house ? For such
occasions and any occasion that calls for extra heat in
any room you need a Perfection Oil Heater.
PERFECTION
OIL/MOVERS
are a wonderful help in saving coal and cutting down
fuel expense. They are small in size but big in heating
capacity. With very little attention your Perfection
is ready at all times for the living room after the fire is
fixed for the night; for getting-up time when the bed-
room is still chilly. You'll find use for it somewhere
in the home every day of winter.
Of course, one of the finest features of a Perfection is that it burns
kerosene—an economical fuel That means money saved But all
kerosenes do not give the a.ime kind of results in a Perfection. It's
x a mattei of quality So, to be sure of getting perfect satisfaction
from youi Perfection always insist on getting Atlantic Rayolight
Oil. It is so highly refined and purified that it gives a steady, radi
ating heat without smoke, smell or sputter. Ask for it by name.
And now is the best time to buy your Perfection Oil Heater. Don't
put it oflT. Your dealer should have a good supply on hand now but
there is going; to be a big demand later. They are reasonably priced
—55.65 to SIO.OO. The Perfection is safe.
