MONDAY EVENING,
'DADS'BEAT SONS
IN Y.M.CA.GAMES
But Youngsters Are Close Sec
onds in Funny Contests at
the Y. M. C. A. Gym
The first of two Father and Son
week social events at the Y. "M. C. A.
Saturday night, a social evening, was
a- great success, and the week's ob
servances will be brought to a close
to-night with a dinner at 7 o'clock
In Chestnut street hall. At a late
hour to-day there were still a few
vacancies at the tables, and fathers
and sons who have no tickets may
be accommodated by phoning to the
Y. M. C. A. to the number of the
seats remaining.
The fun at the "Y" Saturday
evening started oil with a moving
picture show in the assembly room
of the boys' department on the sec
ond floor, the Pathescope being used
to present a bill that commenced |
with all manner of magic stunts, in
cluded a reel on wild nnimals being!
raised for circuses and wound up
with a four-reel presentation of
Cooper's Lfcatherstocklng tale,
"Deerslayer," teeming with Indians,
adventure and all manner of thrills.
After that the "dads" and their sons,
to the number of more than one
hundred, went to the gym where all
manner of games occupied another
hour or more.
In the first line up eleven sons
lined up against eleven "dads" In a
game which Physical Director Mil
ler and Chairman Frank B. Kann
called "attention," "Dad" Nissley be
ing captain. The superior discipline
of the older men told in-this game
even if they were not so quick on
their feet and the "Dads" won out
handily by a score of nine to five.
The "Dads" won a pole jump
ing race, although the boys who
knew the game gave them a hard
fight for it.
A cracker eating contest afforded
much hilarity, each contestant,
father and son, being provided with
three dry crackers—oh, very dry—
and the pair disposing of theirs first
and announcing the fact by being
able to whistle to be declared the
winner. "Dad" and Milton Markley
ran away with the race, while "Dad"
and John McCullough came In a
close second. "Dad" and "Don"
Nissley whistled third and the rest
were still chewing at the close of
the evening.
The newspaper race, from one end
of the gym to the other without
taking , foot from the paper, was
won by "Dad" Foose, Robert Quig
ley second and W. N. German, Jr.,
third. Dr. Kann was awarded first
honors in the candle lighting con
test, presenting a most dignified fig
ure as he balanced himself fin a milk
bottle, with matches in one hand and
a candle in the other. Another as
pirant for honors in this contest was
"Dad" Fritz, Democratic- candidate
for Senator.
The last contest was a shoe race,
in which fathers and sons divested
themselves of 'their shoes, which
were heaped together at the far end
of the gym, the father and son first
to get their shoes on, laced and re
port to the judges to be the win
ners. A "Dad" won this contest
also, with "Son" Wallace first for
the boys.
Light refreshments were served in
the assembly room.

BOARD MAY GO
The Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen Expected to
Take Action Soon .
Plans for the abolition of the leg
islative board of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, are expected to
be taken at a meeting of the organ
ization which will take place within
a short time. The Conductors' state
legislative board has already been
abolished and it is believed that the
Trainmen will follow this precedent
in accordance with a recent circular
letter issued by heads of the four big
railroad brotherhoods.
State lodges have been well can
vassed relative to the question and
it is believed that delegates will be
ready to act at this meeting, the
exact date of which will be announc
ed within several days.
Officials of the brotherhood tell
that circular letters isshed by the
brotherhood officials ask that they
bring before state legislatures any
legislation at this time. It is further
urged that it is practically useless for
them to any longer maintain expen
sive offices and office forces for this
purpose.
At present railroads are not per
mitted to legislate against organized
labor, and this has been the principal
contention of these board, it is said.
fflany Engines Are Being
Stored at Holiidaysburg
With a hundred or more freight lo
comotives stored at East Holidays
burgh yard, that section of Pennsy
property has taken on the pre-war
aspect, and other idle engines will
likely be interned there until condi
tions grow more favorable.
The freight haulers at rest Include
engines of practically every type, from
little, obsolete slx-wheened switchers
to the latter-day L-l-s'es. The storing
of this kind of power began several
weeks ago and the line of furloughed
locomotives extends a quarter mile or
| more, on two and three tracks.
| Not since "1916 have so many loco
■ motives been idle and left to stand in
! the county capital sector. The situation
| this winter is in direct contrast to that
of iaßt, when all kinds of motive power
was pressed into use, while the Pennßy
was compelled to borrow engines from
other railways.

badly damaging the school building.
The building burned down complete
ly was occupied by the families of

The fire was first noticed a little
after 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The Good Will Fire . Company of
Enhaut responded immediately to
the alarm. The Oberlin Fire Com
pany soon ,was called to its assist
ance but the best efforts of both
companies failed to check the
flames. In less than half an hour
the flames had been carried by the
winds to nearby buildings, where
citizens made heroic efforts by form
ing bucket brigades. The chemi
cals of the fire companies were soon
exhausted and difficulty was experi
enced in securing water.
Shortly before 11 o'clock the
Steelton fire department was called
on to aid, and Chief Malehorn re
sponded together with the Citizens,
the West Side and the Hygienic
companies. The Citipen company
soon had chemicals playing upon
the flames, while other tlreinen
dammed a section of Booser's Run
for a more adequate supply of wa
ter. In short time several heavy
streams of water were being pumped
on the flames and the fire extin
guished. Ail the nearby buildings
were saved from destruction, al
though tho roof of the school house
was destroyed and the Weuschinski
property burned doivn • completely.
The damage Is estimated at over
live thousad ndollars. The citizens
of Enhaut have expressed their ap
preciation of the assistance of the
Steelton companies.
