The occasion will be the first and
only chance the State will have to

opportunity to cheer the men who
made the name of Pennsylvania ring j

Three regiments of the division
will be brought to the Philadelphia

The soldiers will be taken to Camp j
Dix at once from both ports as fast !
as they leave ship and after passing
through sanitary measures will re
turn to Philadelphia for the big

regiments will arrive at Philadelphia

of two or three days thereafter, as
five transports will be needed to J
bring the men over. The division j

Slay 10.
Search for Casual*
Efforts will be made by State of
ficials to locate every original mem

REPORTER GOT THE FACTS
Secret of Near-Perpetual Motion Is Found by Hotel Stew
ard Whose Memory Fails Him at the Wrong Time
L. H. Vanderslice, steward of the
Penn-Harris Hotel, to-day believes
he has discovered the principle
near-perpetual motion. His rule is
simple. "Buy a new automobile, get

why as explained to a reporter who
admits he knows nothing of the me

The steward purchased a new car
recently. Yesterday afternoon he
started on his first trip, bowling up
Front street and on to Riverside
Drive. When he reached a spot near
Front and Bewis streets he decided
he'd turn around, but couldn't re

• 30 years, was found in a creek near

MARCH WINDING UP WITH
A RIP-SNORTING FINALE 1
Howling Spring Winds Play Havoc With Loose Real Es- j

I
Just when everybody who is any-,

for good behavior and exceeding:
gentleness she rips over the weather '
traces for a good, old-fashioned pro- ;
verbial finish, tears about during >
the hours ot night, plays havoc with .
loose real estate and milady's un- i
fastened finery and settles down for |
a. rip-snortfng finale. People who
came down to work yesterday did ;
so with perfect confidence in March's j
resolves to keep up giving spring a j
jubilant start. Therefore, many of j
them didn't think to carry wraps and
not a few there were who left their
umbrellas at home.
As the day wore on a few mild- i
tempered souls looked about them, !
sniffer the air and began filling
themselves with misgivings as to .
March's loyalty to her 1919 promises.

The plant is now operating at con- .
