Camp Curtin School to Be Remodeled Along Lines Suggested by Comm.ttee | Changes in building construction to j insure a greater degree of safety from i fire were decided upon by the city school board at a special meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Camp Cur tin school.

HOUSE ABSENTEES SEVERELY SCORED Speaker Spangler Says They Must Answer if Session Is Prolonged Members of the House of Repre sentatives who leave Harrlsburg on Tuesday and prevent a large attend ance to clear up calendars on Wed nesdays were scored by Speaker Spangler today at the opening of the session. When the hour to meet ar rived, less than a quorum of mem bers was on hand and calls were sent out to get in legislators. * "There is a heavy calendar today, and the attendance is not satisfac tory. I am disappointed, indeed. In previous sessions it has been the cus tom at this season to work until Thursdays." said he. "Now it seems very, difficult to have a sufficiently large house to do business even on Wednesday morning. If the mem bers of this House contemplate an early adjournment the chair would suggest that the members be present when the Legislature is in session. "It is not fair to the members from the western end of the State, who are compelled to be here practically the whole week, for other members to leave early Tuesday." "VETS" WANT HEARING Hearings on liquor bills may be held several times the remainder of this month. Some of the advocates of the Ramsey bill defining what shall constitute intoxicating liquors to-day objected to the plan to em brace that bill in the list for the gen eral hearing by the law and order committee of the House next Tues day and wish a separate hearing. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator--Ad ITEtFGRAPE CAMPAIGN IS BRINGING C. OF C. MANY MEMBERS Canvassers Working Hard in Final Stages of the Big Drive The drive for new members for the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce will end at noon to-morrow, but members of the committee will not let up in their activities a moment before that time. All the canvassers were busy to-day concentrating their efforts on the prospective members who thus far have held back from Joining the organization. The members of the committee ex pect to boost the total of new mem bers considerably before they meet in the Harrisburg Club at noon to morrow to report the results of the campaign. Several canvassers who happened to meet this morning while calling on their prospects, in ex changing notes on the results of their canvass thus far, expressed them selves greatly pleased with the re sults of the drive. Some of the workers have been of fered rather flimsy pretexts by eli gible prospects who failed to respond to their so'icitations by joining the chamber. Some of the prospects appear to be holding back until oth er men in their line of business set an example by joining. "Others in my line are not members, why should I be," said one man this morning. "Because other men shirk taxes wouldn't excuse your doing it," re plied F J. Consylman, a member of the committee, "because other men mistreat their families, would be no standard for you. The man who hides behind another man's failure to do his duty is hard up for an ex cuse. You should be an example to your trade, not one of its • prob lems." Sergeant Lightner Gets Place in Overseas School Sergeant Donald C. Lightner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Z. F. Lightner. of 737 South Twenty-sixth street, lias been appointed instructor in sa.esmanship and advertising in the School of Busi ness in the A. E. F. University in Beaune, Burgundy, France. According to the "Stars and Stripes," the official newspaper of the American Expeditionary Forces, this university will be opened on April 10 and will give the soldier students u choice of fourteen courses, in terms of three months, and will accommo date about 10,000 students. It will take over the buildings which former ly comprised the large hospital center and will have a faculty of about 500. i These have beeti chosen, not accord- I ing to military rank, but from their illness to teach the subjects to which ) they are assigned. I Sergeant Lightner enlisted in the | Medical branch of the service in May, j 10IS, and was assigned to Hospital | Train No. 40 and trained at Camp lOieenlcaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. 'He was promoted to sergeant, first ; class, before going overseas in Au gust, 191 S. and saw service in France from that time until the signing of the armistice, being stationed at the ] hospital center at Beaune nearly all of that time. He was selected for his new assign ment on account of his experience as lecturer in the moving picture adver tising campaign of the Hershey Choco late Company, which position he filled for several years. STATE MAY ENJOIN TELEGRAPH RATES Legislators to-day conferred with members of the Public Service Com- I mission regarding action by the j State on the increase in telegraph J rates by the United States authori | ties and the matter will be consid ! ered by the commission next Mon . day when it meets in executive ses j sion.

Hp BOWMAN'S—Third Floor THEN ~ NOW Over 800 ns-=- Years Ago I j KING Henry, of England, fixed the original yard measure in an arbitrary way. He decreed that a yard should reach from the tip of a man's nose to the end of his thumb. Later on be cause some men had short arms and others long ones, the standard yard stick was adopted, but even then it depended on the salesperson whether the customer got really accurate measure. A recent test showed that out of forty-four pieces of ribbons purchased in various stores throughout the country only one piece was meas ired correctly.
