BOROUGHS ASKED
TO CO-OPERATE
Bureau of Municipalities
Wants Officials to Attend
to Mains Before Paving
Officials of more than 900 bor
oughs of the State of Pennsylvania
have been called upon to aid the
State Highway building program by
prompt attenUon to all sewer, water
main and other piping matters so
that streets will not have to be torn
tip after the improvements have
been made by the Commonwealth in
a letter issued from the bureau of
municipalities of the Department or
l.abor and Industry. This is the
first move by departments of the
State government to co-operate with
the highway branch in working out
its program.
In the letter issued J. Herman
Knisely, chief of the bureau, says:
"It is possible your borough may
contemplate the paving of streets
in which you will ask for State aid
and if such improvement of >'°tjt
streets is contemplated, we thought
it desirable to call your attention to
the rule lately made by State High
way Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler,
in "which he states that before the
State Highway Department will pro
ceed with the construction of per
manent thoroughfares through bor
oughs of Pennsylvania, agreements
will be required with all the bor
ough authorities, which will prevent
the ripping of pavements. The de
partment will insist that those agree
ments be lived up to. For no less
than five years after completion the
pavement may not be disturbed, un
less in case of extraordinary emer
gency. Tho State Highway Depart
ment does not propose to waste
money. There can be no reason
why the borqughs themselves, the
corporations and private property
owners cannot lay their sewers and
mains of various sorts in anticipa
tion of the paving. Old mines must
be renewed if necessary. This means

You May Have A Furnace in Your
Building, But It May Also Be
A Big Expense.
The simple construction of the CALORIC Furnace makes its cost of installa
tion very small. You will save 35 to 50 per cent, of your coal by using the CALORIC and that
will more than pay for your furnace in a few years. Remember when you have a furnace installed
in your building, it should be a permanent feature—unless it becomes a permanent expense —
then you should do away with it.

Swedish Physicians
Predict Epidemics If
Germany Is Not Fed
Stockholm, March Sl.—One re
quest that America should send food
to Germany was drawn up here by
a delegation of medical scientists
representing two hundred Swedish
physicians who asked the American
minister, Ira Nelson Morris, to for
ward it to President Wilson.
The petition was supported by the
report of Professor J. E. Johansson,
a nutrition expert, whoso investi
gation of the German situation has
been in progress since 1915. He de
clared that tuberculosis in Germany
has increased 100 per cent. Basing
their argument on this statement,
the Swedish doctors in their peti
tion said serious epidemics might be
expected to spread tlirougli the
world from Germany unless food
was soon supplied to the German
people.
Since the Swedish petition was
presented to Mr. Morris, Germany
lias agreed to surrender her mer
chant ships to the Allies and the
latter have promised to send food
to Germany.

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
STANDARD FOR
LOAVES OF BREAD
McConnell Bill Gets the En
dorsement of the Master
Bakers of the State
Enactment of the Federal Food
Administration regulations into a
State law proposed in a bill pre
sented by Senator William C. Mc-
Connell, of Northumberland, has
been endorsed by the State Associa
tion of Master Bakers and represen
tatives of the bakers of Harrisburg
with the proviso that the clause in
the bill that unwrapped bread shall
be tagged with the weight shall be
eliminated.
The bill would require all bread
to be sold by standardized loaves,
the standard net weights to be set
twelve hours after baking at three
fourths of a pound, one pound, one
and a half pounds, two pounds and
other pound weights. Wrapped bread
in any package must have the exact
net weight printed or written plainly
on the wrapper. Use of "any quali
fying words or phrases" is illegal.
Fines for violation of the law by sale
of bread less than standards is $"5
fine for first offense, up to $lOO for
the second and from $lOO to $2 50
for each subsequent offence.
The standard sixteen-ounce or
"pound loaf" now sells at ten cents
and has been so selling since the
food regulations went into force.
Many bakers have sent word to the
Bureau of Standards that they pre
fer to keep on doing business by
standardized loaves so that while
prices may vary people may know
how much bread they are buying.
Senator McConnell's bill is in com
mittee and will come out within a
short time. The Senator also has !
on the calendar the dressed poultry
bill which requires all dressed fowls ]
to be sold with head and legs off and j
entrails drawn .while t>* sales must;
be by weight. Alany markets in
the State allow dressed poultry to ,
be sold undrawn and tho cold stor
age law permits undrawn fowls to |
be stored. It is contended for this ;
bill that it would standardize dress
ed poultry.
Polish Deputies Vote
For Entente Alliance
Warsaw, March 31.—Tho Polish
Chamber of Deputies voted unani
mously, amid great enthusiasm and
applause, for a treaty of alliance
with the Entente powers. Members
of the Inter-Allied Commission to
Poland were present at the session
and at its conclusion thanked the
chamber for their reception.
The Inter-Allied Commission will
leave "Warsaw on Sunday for Paris.
Premier Paderewski also is going to
the French capital, according to an
announcement made here, to make
arrangements for the alliance be
tween Poland and the Entente.
PATROL DID GOOD WORK
Dover, Eng., March, 31. —In the
whole period of the war the famous
Dover Patrol of destroyers conveyed

the English Channel.
Tr A nWBBDRG TELEGRSPH
PROGRAM WILL
BE OUTLINED
Appropriation Measures Not
Before Committee Will Go
Back For Consideration
The State appropriation program
will commence to assume shape this
week. The chairmen of the legis
lative appropriation com' uttees will
meet to outline a poli . in regard to
allowances for buildings ..or State:
hospitals and similar institutions,
wholly under control of the Com-1
monwealth and in regard to some |
increases asked by departments |
prior to taking up the problems
with the Governor. The fiscal of
ficers will be asked to prepare their
estimates and then the calculations
will begin.
This week a number of bills carry
ing appropriations which were re
ported out by committees without
reference to the appropriation com
mittee will be sent to the committee
in charge of appropriations. One of
the first will be that presented by
Representative O. D. Stark, of Wy
oming county, providing that any
county bridge crossed by a State
highway shall become a State bridge
and be taken care of and rebuilt,
if necessary, by the Stato Highway
Department. This bill came out of
the roads committee with $1,500,000
added to it. The bill was never in
the appropriations committee and
from all accounts Chairman W. J.
McCaig was never consulted about
it.
Mr. McCaig said that he intended
to ask that it bo sent to his com
mittee and intimated that before it
got out he was going to see the
Governor and the highway authori
ties. Considerable surprise at the
size of the appropriation was mani
fested as some pretty stiff pruning
has been under way lately.
Mr. McCaig said this week he
would have meetings with trustees,
for the Farview State Institution in
regard to reduction of some esti
mates made for building. He said
that owing to the prices asked for
building the people in charge of
new State hospitals would be asked
to get along with as little as possible
until prices become stablized. This
is taken to mean that there will be
no ' extensive building program for
the State hospitals at Selinsgrove
or Blairsville. Nothing has been de
termined about the State institution
for Inebriates.

Monarchists in Oporto
Rule But Short Time
Lisbon, March 31—The monarchy
established on Oporto and other dis
tricts in the north of Portugal prov
ed ephemeral. Barely a month after
its proclamation and enthusiastic
welcome, a counter-revolution with
in the city, seconding the attack
from outside by the republican
troops sent by the government, suc
ceeded with equal enthusiasm in
restoring the republican flag o n the
spires and steeples of Portugal.
The royalists were led by Paiva
Couceiro, a very brave and tenaci
ous soldier, but an ineffective or
ganizer. The continued dissensions
between republican factions led him
to suppose the moment propitious
for a return to the monarchy, and,
without any agreement with the
, royalists of Lisbon and the south,
he placed himself at the head of the
| monarchist elements of the north,
and, at the head of several thousand
troops, proclaimed the monarchy at
Oporto and in the northern prov
inces.
A provisional government was es
tablished; laws were issued, and
local administrative authorities ap
pointed everywhere. Couceiro ex
pected that other victorious royalist
risings would follow all over the
country. Instead of this, the Lisbon
insurrection of Monsanto failed, and
the same occurred in other localities,
while in many centers there were
no disturbances of public order.
Japs to Get Lands
in Lower California
Mexico City, March 31.—That Jap
anese corporations have been grant
ed concessions to exploit agricultur
al lands in Lower California was the
statement made by General Amado
Agairre, under secretary of develop
ment and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, how
ever, that the concessions were fully
authorized by the provisions of the
Mexican constitution regarding the
area and position of the territory
in relation to the ocean shore and
the frontier line.
There was nothing in the conces
sions, it was asserted by the under
secretary, that might possibly lead
to difficulties as far as the Monroe
Doctrine was concerned.
Ukrainians Ready to
Quit Fighting Poles
Borne, March 31.—The command
er of the Ukrainian forces has sent

the Ukrainians are ready to enter
into negotiations looking to a cessa-
I tlon of hostilities with the Poles on
condition that the allies set a line
of demarcation in accordance with
the present battle front. ■
A high garrison officer and his
staff, consequently, have .arrived at
Stanislau, 70 miles southeast ofLem
berg, to negotiate Jointly with the
members of the allied military mis
sion to Poland and the Poles and

mittee in Charge of Work
Federal aid to solve the housing pro
blem In Harrisburg will be given by
the United States Homes Registration
Service at the request of the Chamber of

lof additional rooms needed to relieve
[ the condition now existing.
This plan will include the organization
of a perminnnt bureau to keep com
piled a list of available rooms and
furnish free service to those who need
habitation. A competent manager will
! be placed in charge and the bureau will
be operated under the auspices of the
Chamber Housing committee.

visit with questionaire cards to ascer
tain number of available rooms in each
dwlling, sanitary provisions and other
detailed statistics. Officials of various
women's organizations have already
been interested In the work.
Householders are urged to co-operate

en who call and to furnish the desired
tnofrmation willingly as the particulars
which are needed will be of much
value to the local bureau in deciding
what measures are necessary at once
to relieve the local situation.
A survey similar to the one to be
made hero has been conducted with suc
cess in other cities such as Camden,
Erie, Easton, Chester, Philadelphia, At
lantic City and Baltimore. The plan
for the survey was explained to Gover
nor Sproul last week and met with his
approval. The Chamber of Commerce
