In the last six months, j through arrangement with the Fed-i eral authorities, orders have been made getting rid of almost a dozen crossings and more such decrees are in prospect. In addition the plans have been approved for the great "hill to hill" bridge to be construct ed between the Bethlehems. The Derry township order pre sents a unique situation because it involves five distinct crossings, the jlargest number embraced In any similar proceeding before the Com mission. These crossings include some at which fatal accidents have occurred and which have received the attention of grand juries and coroner's juries time and again. Two subways will be constructed to han dle the traffic and extensive changes made in road lines. Pome years ago had crossings at Rutherford and Paxtang were gotten rid of and when (he just ordered Improvements I are completed, the great highway will be clear of danger spots for more than nine miles from burg and an example furnished as to the way a railroad can avoid such places.

Capitol Closed—The State Capitol was closed to-day, this being u hol iday. More Changes in Bill —A new set of changes will be made in the teachers' salary bill passed by the House recently and now in the hands of the Senate. The bill is in the education committee for redrafting, the fourth or fifth experience of that kind since Representative John I. Woodruff, of Snyder, presented it. The changes made thus far have not met the ideas of Governor Wil liam C. Sproul and more will be made. One of them will require districts to pay $45 toward minimum salaries, the State paying ihe rest. One amendment under question takes special instructors out of the minimum salary class and Inserts principals and supervisors, which has caused some objections. Will Decrease Suits—Approval by- Governor William C. Sproul of the Marcus bill relative to procedure in assault and battery cases, which be comes effective at once, will reduce the number of such actions returned to court, it is believed. The sponsor of the bill says that experience has shown that many such cases have been hastily brought with expense not only to litigants, but to counties as well, because of the flimsy nature of the basis. It is provided that any magistrate "shall before he binds any person so charged over to the court of quarter sessions upon the oath of the complainant, enter into a full hearing and investigation of the fact)s charged and shall only bind over the defendant to the said court when he is satisfied from the evidence that the prosecution is reasonably well founded. When the charge is not well founded, the mag istrate is to dispose of the costs." In case of failure to pay, there is to be imprisonment of a day for each dollar and in such cases the county shall pay copts. To Discuss Baskets—A committee consisting of S. Herbert Starkey, Bustleton; W. E. Tyson, Floradale; P. S. Fenstermacher, Allentown, and F. S. Stevens, Philadelphia, was named by Secretary of Agricul ture Rasmussen to consider the questions connected with standard containers for fruits and to make a report to the State Bureau of Mar kets. which will issue an order. J. F. Dreasey, United States Railroad Administration, and Fred A. Down ing, United States Bureau of Mar kets. spoke on the necessity of adopting some standards. Commit tees will also be named for similar purposes to represent the Erie coun ty grape growing interests. State potato raisers and others interested. Attention will also be given to regu lations for standardizing closed packages, barrels, etc. Further meetings will be held.

We expect to register two or three pa trols, and are carrying several lads who are almost the required scout age, as Cubs, When the troop is re-registered, our officials will be as follows: Scott Burgoon, scoutmas ter; assistant scoutmasters, Fred Haehnlen and Mr. Lowry; acting as sistant scoutmaster. Harold Gott schall: acting senior patrol leader and scout scribe, Joel Ernest. Grove Hassler will be patrol leader of the Eagle patrol, and assistant scribe; Ben Balmor of the Eagle patrol will be troop treasurer; Frank Zimmer man, assistant patrol leader of the Eagle patrol. The Beaver patrol will have Herbert Kline for Patrol Leader, and Scout Boyer for assistant patrol leader. The troop will take a trip to the lodge at Lamb's Gap over June 6, 7, and 8. A good time with an opportun ity to pass tests and practice scout craft will be enjoyed by all, and every boy is urged to make the trip. The scouts have been working on tests with good results, and we expect a number of second class scouts now. After the troop re-registers meetings will be held on Friday night instead of on Monday. All scouts re-register ing must have their fee of twenty-live cents to the scoutmaster not later than next Monday evening. JOEL ERNEST, Scribe. Scouts Have Eventful Hike to Lamb's Gap It was not a very eventfttl hike from Enola to Lamb's Gap. but just as we got to the top of the mountains it began to rain so we built a fire in the large Ate place and stored up some wood for our night Are. It was planned that each scout would cook his own meals and after supper everyone wanted to see the tower, so we all went up to take a look over the Cumberland Valley. About dusk we came back to camp and gathered around the fire to tell ghost and camp Are stories. Just as we were in the midst of an excit ing story, a whippoorwill, only fif teen feet away, started his evening song. We stopped the story to listen to the song of the bird. After many thrilling stories we made our beds for the night. We had expected to And bunks to sleep in but there were none, so we made our own beds on the Aoor. On ac count of the rain we could not get dry grass and leaves to make the boards feel softer, and when morn ing came we were all mighty glad to get up. We took a hike after breakfast Into the valley on the north side of the mountains. At 12 o'clock we again prepared our meals* — another very much enjoyed one, and may it be said here that every meal was a success. In the afternoon another hike was planned. The scouts found many forest trees that were new to them. Many wild Aowers were found also. After supper we gathered in more wood for the night Are. After dinner on the following day there was a grand clean up. About 2 o'clock we started home. After hiking for half an hour along the top of the mountain one of the scouts almost stepped on a big black snake. The snake was captured and Inspected by the scouts. They were shown how to tell a poisonous snake from one that is harmless. The snake was let go. RED CRANE. Troop Four Receives New Patrol Colors Troop 4 held an interesting meet ing Monday night. Patrol colors ar rived and were given out. Scout master Hallman has been on a trip to St. Louis and he gave a talk about the activities of the scouts out there. We have a new scout In our troop, William Barnhart. Mr. Hall man has given us some new "dope" on map making and It Is certainly a good system, so the scout execu tive may look for some accurate maps from Troop 4. ALEX WIELAND.

We started from the school ! house at 1:30 o'clock and marched I down to the New Cameron Park j Driveway where we stopped, and the j , scoutmaster. Mr. Walters, gave us : some instructions in drilling. After our strenuous exercise we sat down and our scoutmaster gave up : some instructions in JuJltsu. When we arrived at Boyd's woods ; our scoutmaster put Scout Art Stence in charge of six boys and told him j to conceal them in the woods. After ' they had about fifteen minutes start, I the rest of us formed a skirmish line I at about seven paces interval and ad- j vanced to the edge of the woods. I Finding we could see none of the j concealed scouts, wc divided into two \ squads. One squad searched the front j of the woods, while the others went ' through the center. The first squad was in charge cf Scout Ches Hocker. j the other in charge of the scoutmas- j ter. We made a surprise attack on ' the concealed patrol.
