Settlement of Harbor Strike Still Hangs Fire By Associated Press New York, March 7.—Settlement t>f the strike of the Marine Workers' Affiliation which has paralyzed traf fic in New York harbor since it be gan Tuesday morning, was still hang ing fire early to-day. James L. Hughes, a mediator for the Federal Department of Labor, ■ fter conferring all day with repre sentatives of the railroad adminis tration which operates forty per ent. of the boats in the harbor pre sented their peace proposition to the workers yesterday. The new wage and hour schedule presented was so complicated, however, that a hasty analysis by the union leaders brought the statement from them that some ■octions needed interpretation and that a counter proposal would be submitted to-day.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 7, 1919. f NEWS ftNP NOTES OFTHEBOY SCOUTS $ j TROOP 26 MAKES YEAR'S REPORT Stevens Memorial Methodist Scouts Make Annual State ment of Activities Troop 26. Boy Scouts of America, affiliated with the Rev. B. F. Stev ens Memorial Methodist Church, and under the jurisdiction of the Harris burg Council of the Boy Scouts of America, was organized by Scout ,master L. E. Vanaman, July 1. 1918, with 1" boys of the Stevens Memorial Guards forming the nucelus of the new troop. The troop was without money or equipment when organized, and is self supporting through monthly dues from each member of the troop, the dues at start were placed at five cents per month, but were raised to 10 cents per month on Septem ber 1, 1918. The troop now consists of one Scoutmaster, two assistant Scout masters, three troop committeemen and thirty Scouts, all the Scouts, with the exception of two or three new members, are uniformed, and the new members will be uniformed within the next month. Troop equipment 011 hand at present consists oC one American flag, one bugle, one drum, one lire making set and one standard com pass. All gcouts have passed the ten derfoot, or first test, with exception of four new members and these have signified their readiness to take the examination; 18 Scouts are prepar ing for their second class tests. The troop has participated in all the war activities of our govern ment since the troop was organized and has won numerous medals and honors in recognition thereof. Since July 1, 1918, the Scouts of the troop sold War Savings and Thrift Stamps and at the close of the year 1918. had sold $1,723.25 worth of stamps, five Scouts winning Achievement buttons, and four win ning Ace Medals awarded by the U. S. Treasury Department and one Scout has won a Palm in addition to his Ace Medal. In the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive the Scouts of the troop sold 81 bonds for a total of $4,550, five Scouts winning Liberty Loan medals awarded by the U. S. Treasury De partment. This sale would have been larger but for the fact that at this time the Scoutmaster and sev eral of the Scouts were ill and un able to participate. During the loan drive the Scouts of the troop put all play aside and worked each day at Liberty Loan headquarters handling several thou sand pieces of mail and printed matter. The troop participated in the Red Cross drive, the L'nited War Work Campaign and various other war activities of the government. The troop collected 11,000 pounds of fruit pits and nut shells for use of the government in making carbon fo gas masks. The Scoutmaster and 13 Scouts spent three days in the Boy Scout camp located one mile above Hoges tpwn, the Scoutmaster and each hoy 'contributing $2 -toward the ex penses of the camp and the cost was kept down to $2.10 per boy. the deficit being met by the Scout master. This expense is high, but it must be borne in mind that at that time the cost of foodstuffs were very high, and the first two days at camp are always very expensive and the bovs were given plenty of good clean food. Had the full week or ten days been spent in camp the cost per day would have been con siderably lessened. The camp was without accident during this time. The troop has perfected a quick mobilization plan and can be mobil ized for an emergency within 30 minutes. Since it's inception the troop re- ' ports the following financial state- | ment: Cash received during the 1 year. $19.85: paid out for equipment, j $5.83; cash on hand, $14.00; bills', outstanding, $9.90; balance above J all debts, $4.10. In connection with this report 1 > wish to thank Dr. Smucker for his interest and help in this movement. I and to express my appreciation of the boys of the troop who by their willingness to do their part made it possible for Troop 26, one of the | voungest troops in town, to forge! steadily ahead until it now ranks among the best troops and is ahead | of many of the older troops. For the coming year I am confi dent that Troop 26 will surpass any I troop in this district in scouting! and bring into the church boys who are to be desired by any church. The Scout movement will have noth ing to do with any boy or man who is not clean, morally, mentally and physically strong. The troop stands ready at any; time to render assistance to it's | church, it's city, it's State or it's government. L. E. VAX AM AN*. Scuotmaster. The officers of the Troop are: Jj. E.

Serve For Particular Guests The modern housewife who sets a perfectly appointed table, does not hesitate to serve Benefit Brand "Sweet Nut" Margarine at any meal, even when honored guests are pres ent. She knows that this is a true table delicacy, incomparably better than ordinary butter and equal in taste and appearance to the very best dairy product. Moreover, the fact that it. is made from such appetiz ing natural products as the sweet inner meat of tropical cocoanuts and fresh pasteurized milk Is pleasant to remember, and finally the direct sav ing between 34c a lb. for "Sweet Nut" Margarine and butter at its present price is something every woman should consider. You will al ways find Benefit Brand "Sweet Nut" on sale at Tamsui Tea Co.'s yellow front store, 331 Market St., 'up 1 flight, Harrisburg, where Benefit Brand Teas, Coltees and Grocery Spe cialties are retailed at wholesale prices. Look for our store In your town. The Wigwam Well, fellows, spring has come, again'. You may not agree with me j now but wait until I've finished. A . few clays ago I noticed that they were | fixing those good old benches down . in river front park and a few days j later I saw they had painted them. , This is one of the surest signs of j spring. If you take a look at your ■ girl's hat you will find another sign i of spring. You'll see that she has j on a brand new straw one probably J all trimmed with flowers, in place . of the old felt one. Again you will see another sign , of spring in the old school room, i When you are not thinking about! It. look at yourself sometime an<l i 1 am quite sure you will find that ! you are sprawling all over the seat. | You don't yay any attention j when the Prof. asks you to ; recite You are thinking of the i time-when your troop went camping,! and the swimming hole, and the last | time you had your girl out in a canoe. You are lazy and indifferent. ] I know—it's spring fever. Then our precious second class j Scouts are taking their fourteen mile | hike and they come back boasting- ! of the distance they walked and what | they did. And they didn't feel tire.i | —Oh! no! not the littlest bit and < sure, why certainly, they could taite'j the whole hike over again thut very day. And then there are our dear! little Tenderfoot Scouts running j around with th e Scoutmaster, de- j scribing the store windows, or trot- | ting their mile in twelve minutes— most of them do it in eight or nine— and spending hours in the barbarous wilds of Marysville, Rockville, or Hummelstown burning two potatoes and a perfectly good big piece of meat over a smoky, wheezy, little excuse of a fire.

After several months of hunting! and searching we succeeded in ob- j taining the stone house over In the I York hill near Frogtown. The house is built on a piece of ground about fifty feet square. There | are two large rooms downstairs one! of which has an open fireplace. To j the right of the house is a small barn which also goes with the house, !and in the summer we expect to make "peace" gardens instead of "war" ones as we did last year, and we may decide to have some chick ens, too. Last Saturday we hiked over to the hut, as we have named thd place, and fixed up the wood casing around! ,nd put locks on the yell and cellar doors. There was quite a discussion as to what we should call the place. Some of the fellows liked Outside Jnn—others wanted it named Do Drop Inn—but most of us agreed that "The Hut" was the best name. Be sure to come to the meeting to-night, fellows, you get merits for attendance and that is what is going! to make your patrol win. CLEON CRISWELL.

Eagle. He was in the navy for four years and served in the war zone. He told us many* Interesting things. one of l which was a story of how ho ob tained a ride in n seaplane at Key West. He was reading a newspaper, be said, on his boat, when a seaplane flew close and he yelled "Take me up." The airman consented and came down to the surface of the | water. Stevenson swam out and caught hold of a strut. He climbed up over the wing and crawled into the observer's scat and began bis first flight. After a thrilling ride they came down and he dived off the wing and swam to his ship. He has also had a ride on a submarine and described that t00,.' • At our previous meeting Mr. Wie land gave us a talk on chemistry.

Hugo Rone ntus brought a new fellow, Donald Ernest, and we elected him right off. Three more fellows—George Boak, "Chees" Boak and George Moore brought caps. Soon we'll have to order some more. The sugges tions for the uniforms seemed to take rather well. Wonder how many fellows will have them ready for to night. Next Friday night we expect Richard Dong. He'll be of age just the day before.

"A. P. W." Toilet Paper Is Unquestionably the Best Toilet Paper Manufactured "A. P. W." Toilet Paper is quickly soluble in water. Obstruction to pipes and consequent annoyance, damage and plumber's bills due to the use of inferior paper is impossi )le with "A. P. W." Coarse, rough paper is irritating and harmful. Much of it is made from waste material previously used for purposes which should pro hibit its incorporation in toilet paper. "A. P. W." Brand is made from specially prepared, clean fibre. It i j thoroughly hygienic and therefore free from any injurious ingredients. Do not be deceived into thinking you are paying a lower price when you buy, at 5 or 10 cents, rolls supposed to contain 1,000 sheets. They are invariably short count and inferior quality. "A. P. W." Toilet Paper is the best quality and full count, and on the basis of full count, it is the most economical —to say nothing of better quality. See that you get toilet paper bearing the red "A. P. W."
