It is felt that the parade will meet ( the desires of those who at the time ( of tbo armistice was signed, thought an organized celebration would be the most fitting expression of thank fulness for the termination of the -mar. but considered such a parade; untimely without the participation ' of the local men who then were serv ing in the Army and Navy. Home In Time il is thought that practically all \ the men from Harrisburg and Dau- : phin eounty who still are in service will have been mustered out by July . 4. With the announcement that the Twenty-Eighth Division in which many iocal soldiers are Included, will sail from France in May, the pros- . once of the majority of the Yanks from this vicinity on the Fourth of July seems assured. According to the present plans, the hoys will march in the unit in which they served during the war. Other divisions of the parade will he made up of those who were scat tered throughout the military and naval organization in companies not , made tip of local personnel. The huge, demonstration on Inde pendence Day is not designed to in terfere with any celebrations which I may ho extended to the various units which come home between now and that date. It will bo a demonstra- i tion in honor of all the service men : of the Army and Navy, who served ! in this country and overseas, many ' of whom straggled home one by one j without receiving an adequate ex- ! pression of the home folks grati- ! tude. Convicts Raise Value of $1 Bills Between Walls of Penitentiary By Associated PITS.?. Philadelphia. Pa., A.prl J>. A counterfeiters' "den" in full opera tion has been discovered between the walls of the Eastern Penitenti ary here. Three convicts were doing the work in their cell at light. They had been operating only three days, however, before the deputy warden discovered the plot. The case was immediately turned over to the United States Secret Service men who found eighteen one dollar bills, and one two dollar note in the pro cess of becoming "fives" and "tens." Three of these actually had been completed, but the enamel which was used to raise the figures and change the letters was hardly dry. None had passed outside the ceil. The convicts are Joseph Lavar, John Ol son and Jack Husky. Yesterday Deputy Warden Myers was making his daily trip through the cells, searching for "dope" and ready to pick up anything of a sus picious nature. An innocent look ins book lay on a bench in this cell and Myers ran through it mechani •allv. Almost a score of bank notes out. He examined them "and immediately discovered they were raised. The numerals were puint<<> over, ttie lettering waft changed, "live" being painted over "on" in one and "en" over the "wo" in two. The convicts admitted the work and signed confessions. These were turned over to assistant Unit ed States District Attorney Ernest Harvey.

DIRIGIBLES WILL LAND ON FIELD IN ISLAND PARK Old H. A. C. Diamond Select ed For Naval Aviator's Big Craft The old Harrisburg Athletic Club field on Island Park has been defi nitely selected as the proper place for the landing of the big dirigible balloon which is to be brought to Harrisburg as part of the publicity campaign of the Victory Roan drive. Announcement to this effect was made at noon to-day. Various other places have been suggested, but for various reasons all of these were abandoned as un desirable. At first it had been planned to land it on the Reservoir Park golf course, but this met with strenuous opposition. The almshouse field, wherein several aviators have landed their machines within the past several months, was then sug gested, but this was abandoned when it was learned that the field was being prepared for planting.

Lest any reader be not acquaint ed with this new State bureau for taking care of a mother and her family who suddenly find themselves without the father, it might be well to explain that the scheme has been in operation in Dauphin county only two months. The bill was passed through the State Legislature sev eral years ago, and is in operation now in about forty counties of this State. Dauphin was assigned to re ceive SB,OOO per annum, part from the State and part from the county, but because all counties have not come in, Dauphin is fortunate in be ing handed about $3,000 more titan her share.
