By Associated Press
New 1 rk, Jan. 13—Wall Street.—
The. usual, recent mixture of gains
and losses attended the quiet opening
of to-day's stock market, the trend
being the more conflicting from the
fact that some issues of the same
class moved In opposite directions.
Leathers and Oils yielded from frac
tions to ttvo points, whereas ship
pings, tobaccos, coppers and fertilis
ers rose correspondingly. Kails were
agatn extremely dull at very slight
changes.
Almost fifty per cent, of the slender
I trading of the morning concentrated
| in half a dozen issues, such as steels,
i oils, sugars and shippings, Bethle
] hem Steel and Cuba Cane Sugar lost
j lli each and Beet Sugar 2%, Mexl-
I can Petroleum meanwhile gaining
i 3 points. Texas Company 4 and
I Marine preferred 1 44.
I U. S. Steel was sluggish within con
! traded limits, hardening, however, at
I noon, when the general.list improved
I on the better tone of Investment ratls.
The feature of the bond list wqs the
I new low record for Liberty secona

The local branch of the Fraternal
Order of Police of third class cities
was organized several months ago,
to better the working conditions of
the patrolmen. Among other do
sires of the policemen, advanced
through the order, was their request
for an increase in pay, which se
cured a fifteen dollar a month raise
for them.
Members this morning said a pen
sion would be the next thing desired
by the men, who feel they are en
titled to such protection after a life
time of faithful service. The Legis
. lature at the session about to con
vene, will be requested through the
state organization to enact pension
legislation, and provide civil serv
ice regulations for borough police
forces, members say.
The policies of the local organi
zation for next year likely will be
outlined at the next meeting. Mem
bers express their firm intention of
working in .accord with the officials
of the department, and rendering
efficient service to thq taxpayers.

AFTER OVERSEAS-DUTY

the Iron Division first went into ac
tion, and he was standing ready with
his platoon of machine gunners to
stop the last Hun stab for Paris,
when the gray armies of the Kaiser
stormed the Yank lines at the Marne
fiver July 15, and he followed up the
Infantry a s it turned that attack and
pushed tlie Germans back on their
last long retreat.
Lieutenant Shoemaker, a former
| member of the police force and for
six years attached to the Governor's
I Troop, with which he served on the
I Mexican border in 1916, very proba
bly could tell an interesting story of
his own experiences, but
Every Man's Host
"I was only one of two million,
doing my bit," he says. "And it's a
niighty little bit, j.ust one out of two
million. 1 don't want any praise or
credit. Every one over there did
his best."
The Germans are real fighters,
the lieutenant says. He declared
they are brave and tenacious, but
lack initiative. When their officers
are killed tfiey don't know where to
[turn and can be slaughtered or enp
j tured like slteep. The Americans, he
declared, often came out of action
j with whole companies commanded
by senior corporals, after all the of
ficers had been killed,
1 Lieutenant Shoemaker's company,
B of the One Hundred Eighth Ma
j chine Gun Battalion, was pursuing
the Huns when he "got his." A
1 fragment from a high explosive shell
struck him in the back but he re
fused to be taken out of the line. On
r September 5, when his company was
two miles beyond the Vesle, he was
struck again, this time in the arm.
On his way back for first aid relief
he was struck by another shell frag
ment, which fractured his instep. He
spent three months in Red Cross
Hospital No. 3, at Paris, and was in
the same ward with Captain Ed.
Staokpole. He also tells how his
platoon relieved the platoon of Lieu
tenant General Allison, formerly city
detective, and how he met Allison in
a dugout.
Paris Rejoices
Lieutenant Shoemaker was in
Paris during the celebration of the
signing of the armistice. He declared
the French populace rejoiced for a
week, parading and holding "fetes."
He said the Americans especially
were idolized, and were carried about
on the shoulders of the Joyful popu
lace. When the American national
anthem was played in public places
or the American f.ag was displayed,
the acclamation was louder than for
any other country.
He returned to this side Janu
ary 3, embarking in Franco Christ
mus morning with 144 wounded men.
He was sent to Camp >Hils and then
to Camp Meade, where he now is
stationed in the First Provisional

BOYER FILES
HIS REPORT;
WANTS AUTO
Says Dealers Throughout the
County Complied With
Regulations
Calling attention to the good co
operation of dealers in the county in
complying with regulations of the
Food Administration last yedr, aid
the few penalties necessary, Harry
A. Boyer, Inspector of weights and
measures, to-day filed his annual re
port with the County Commission
ers.
Mr. Boyer also recommends the
purchase of an automobile to be used
by the office so that more frequent
tests can be made of weighing and
n-easuring devices throughout the
county. He includes a detailed state
ment also of the tests he made last
year.
. Wnr Benefited Office
Speaking of the co-operation with
the Government, Mr. Boyer says, in
part:
"The office had the pleasure of be
ing identified, to a certain extent,
with all the war activities during the
past year, not only In the way of
participating in the numerous drives,
but also early In the year the in
spectors of weights and measures ]
throughout the state were practically
•drafted' into the food ahd fuel con
servation activities. This was, more
or less, foreign to our line of work, J
but the experience certainly helped
the office and, in most cases, bene
fited the dealers who handle the com
modities that were under Government
supervision. It is a pleasant recol
lection. and certainly a matter of con
gratulation, that so few merchants
were penalized in Dauphin county,
and, while this office does not claim
any particular credit for the situa
tion directly, there Is no doubt that
the close association with the larger
dealers helped wonderfully. In the in
terpretation of the many rulings. To
the best of our knowledge, no flour
mills were closed at all and but one
merchant fined for violations of the
orders."
Mentions l.egislntlon
Inspector Boyer also mentions the
tendency on the part of dealers to
Instal accurate and dependable in
struments for weighing and measur
ing commodities. He states also
that plans are being made to have
the Legislature pass a law abolishing
the use of dry measures and com
pelling the sale of all commodities by
weight.
In addition to urging the purchase
of an automobile, Mr. Boyer explains
the need of additional standard
weights and weighing devices as part
of the office equipment.
During the year he tested 6,142
weight measures and scales, sealed
5,906, adjusted 398 and condemned
236. Of this total, there were 549
scales tested, 515 sealed, 110 adjust
ed, 34 condemned; 1,188 liquor meas
ures tested, 1,142 sealed, 46 con
demned; 1,404 dry measures tested,
1,356 sealed, 48 condemned; 1,327
miscellaneous weights tested, 1,312
sealed, 53 adjusted, 15 condemned;
1,674 avordupois weights tested, 1,581
sealed, 235 adjusted, 93 condemned.
