Kiwanis Club Dines a
Day Ahead of Time
Switching its weekly luncheon
from Thursday to Wednesday during
summer months the Kiwanis Club
mangled its jazzy eats at the Pena
-11 arris to day in torpid heat but
vast enthusiasm which had its cli
max in changing the name of or
ganization to "Pcptimists." Some
body said a pessimist is one who
thinks things can't be done; optim
ist thinks they can be done; a "pep
timist" has the "pep" to do 'em.
This "pep" will squirt at Hershey,
on July 28 when the monster inter
city picnic takes place with the fol
lowing committees; The Rev. Dr.
•Madge, swimming director, because
it is wanted to be guaranteed safe
and sane; kite flying, Paul Furman;

feur to Charley Schmidt, chairman
of the day's event, John Rose; base
ball, Charley Reeser; Blumcnstein,
music; Frank Davenport, eats; C. C.
Merrill, athletics; Charley Williams,
dancing, particularly for the ladies;
prizes, Henry Perkins. Charley
Schmidt, who just returned from
visiting his pet cow down at a farm
in Alaryland, says he has enough
work to keep President Wilson busy
arranging for this monster demon
stration.
Silent booster to-day was G. M.
Williams, station barber shop, who
gave out a nickle harpoon with
which you may open a can of sar
dines or pick your teeth, if they
are all filled with metal. Thomas
Hamilton asked grace, and us he
linished President Neffe ordered all
diners to shed the coat unless the
hack of the shirt was unpresentable.
I'enn-Harris thereupon dined a coat
less gathering. Ed. Weaver showed
up for the first time in months and
was sentenced to keep on his wraps.
The attendance prize, given by Wil
liam Strouse was won by Eou Baum,
himself a tailor and the gift being a
suit of clothes, the Salvation Army
will get the garment. Secretary
Brackenridge read the minutes so
fast he was ordered to re-read them,
but said it was too hot. The stfhg
"How I Hate to Get Up in the Morn
ing" cooled everybody for a moment.
Among the guests were Captain
Barker with Charley Rupp; Ed. H.
Schell with Paul R. Wagner; Harry
Morris Walter, Philadelphia, with
his father, Dr. H. B. Walter.

rection; a much larger, more com
fortable, and pleasanter site is se
cured; all other larger cities ar<
placing their high schools in similai
location; the trolley question is prac
tically negligible, as very nearly as
many students would have had tc
ride to a centrally located schoo
from the far corners of the city.
Downos Favors Project
Superintendent of Public Schools
F. B. Downes expressed himself as
being entirely in favor of the sub
ject. Professor Downes said thai
when he saw how restricted would
be the high school should they build
on the Capitol Park site, ho was
very much in favor of securing
ground in some location where il
might be possible to expand and to
have some sort of playgrounds, ath
etic field, and the like for the stu
dents. He expressed himself as be
ing entirely in agreement with the
present plan, which permits a hun
dred per cent, increase in capacity.
Headmaster Arthur K. Brown of
the Harrisburg Academy, said that
ho considered it a fine thing for the
city. In the event of the plan going
through in its entirety, which seems
quite possible, the cutting through
of Green street would take away a
large piece of ground from the
Academy property, including the
athletic field. There is to be a meet
ing of the Board of Trusters of the
Academy on Thursday, at which this
question will be taken up. Head
master Brown is of the opinion that
more ground will be purchased on
the south side of the Academy, and
this would be a splendid thing for
the school, as it would then present
a broader front to the river. Sev
eral more buildings could then be
considered.

he was pleased with the plan. The
feature of more space, more ground
in which to expand appealed es
pecially to Mr. Keinoehl, who looks
forward to the adoption of the idea.
He considers the location an ideal
one in every way, and says that the
trolley question is entirely a neglig
ible one.
Dr. J. George Becht, executive
secretary of the State Board of Ed
ucation and who is to be lirst as
sistant Deputy Superintendent of
Public Instruction, gives the plan his
absolute approval. Dr. Becht says
that in all other cities of this size
and larger, the educational problem
has been quite as difficult as in Har
l rishurg, and that they have solved
| it by taking their high schools from
the center of town and putting them
in locations which are quite as ac
cessible and much more healthy. He
looks to see a steadily growing in
stitution in the new high school.
Dr. Becht said:
"The project outlined by the
Planning: Commission for the loca
tion of a High school plant, is in
deed an ambitious one but fully in
• accord with the city's future growth
1 and development. The question will
probably be raised whether the loca
tion is too far from the center of
(population. Years ago such an ob
jection might have had weight, but
with the present methods of trans
portation and these being constantly
extended, a distance of three or four
miles is not a bar to location. In
many of the western states, where
within the past few years I visited
high schools, invariably I found
them located in large plots In the
open country near the city limits.
Every one who has to do with
school work recognizes that a large
area of good, healthful soil, away
from distracting Influences, will add
materially to the health, comfort
and welfare of the pupils and these
advantages will more than compen
sate for the possible inconvenience
that some pupils may experience in
going additional distances. The Plan
ning Commission's project is one well
worth the most careful considera
tion."
JJoartl Sees Future
John Fi Dapp. of tho School
Board, expressed himself most en
supplies, but nothing is being over
looked in the attempt to make this
historic flight. Major Scott, her
commander, says he will attempt to
follow a great circle and arrive over
Newfoundland.
The giant British dirigible R-34.
is the first lighter-than-air machine
to attempt a trans-Atlantic flight.
The airship, the largest of its kind
in the world, measures 634 feet from
nose to stern and carries three boats
below the gas bag. She is com
manded by Major G. H. Scott, of
the Itoyal Air Force. The craft is
equipped with a wireless system as
powerful as that of the great ocean
liners.
Among the crew of twenty-three
men is Lieutenant Commander Zach
ary Lansdowne, staff commander of
the American naval air forces in
France, who is making the voyage
as as representative of the United
States Navy.
It has been estimated that the
R-34 will cross the Atlantic in from
sixty to seventy hours under favor
able conditions.
With favorable weather, the R-34
is expected to parallel the route of
the northern steamship lanes, but
should adverse weather he encount
ered, she probably will take the
southern course, over or near the
Azores.
Wilson's Family Will
Meet Him Near Coast
Jiy Associated Press.
Washington, July 2. Vice-Pres
ident Marshall and all members of the
Cabinet are expected .to greet President
Wilson when he arrives Monday on the
George Washington. Secretary Daniels
has arranged for the members of the
President's official family to go aboard
the battleship Pennsylvania, flagship
of the Atlantic fleet, which is to meet
the Presidential ship outside New York
harbor and escort her to port.
MAKING OVKR A CLIMATE
The latest suggestion toward
"making over" a climate deals with
that of eastern Canada, which many
people think would be improved if
it were made milder. Mr. R. T.
Elliott, a Canadian engineer, thinks
such a change could be brought
about by clos.ng Belle Isle Straits.
Among the results, in his opinion,
would be that Montreal would be
come an open port during the whole
year, the banks of the St. Lawrence
would be in perpetual blossom of
flowers and shrubbery, and, inci
dentally, people all the world over
would long to live there.
As an engineering problem, there
seems no reason to doubt that the
straits could be closed, although at
an expense which Canada might not
care to assume just at this time.
Whether the seasons would be so
greatly changed is another matter,
not conclusively settled by theoreti
cal probabilities.—Christian Science

thusiastically when Interviewed this
morning. He said that the idea was
not a new one to him at all, as at
least ten years ago he wrote a letter
to the School Board suggesting just
such a site for the high school. That
it will be a fine thing for the com
munity as well as for the students
themselves in the school is Mr.
Dapp's idea. He feels that the erec
tion of a suitable building with
large grounds enclosing it will go
far in the teaching of the "get-out
in-the-open" idear, and he expressed
the hope that tho city would take
steps to make the Italian park por
tion of the ground into a splendid
park.
Robert A. Enders, president of the
School Board, gave the following
statement: "The purchase of the
McKee-Graham tract of land and
its development for school purposes
will afford a splendid opportunity
for the advancement of education in
our city. Financially speaking, it is
impossible to buy a tract of land in
a more central part of the city, and
a much larger tract can be pur
chased at the present location for
less money. A large number of our
cities in this State have secured
similar locations and deem it no
hardship for their pupils to travel by
trolley to and from the schools, and
it appears to me that we can suffer
a similar condition here. Person
ally speaking, I feel confident that
the Board of Education will pursue
this plan and afford Harrisburg the
kind of high school which it de
serves. Harrisburg has always done
the great thing and feel that they
will not fall down on this occasion.
W. Frank Witman agreed heartily
with the sentiments expressed by the
members of the board. He felt that
the idea was a good business propo
sition and that any consideration of
a down town plot would be out of
the question. Mr. Whitman said
that an additional reason why they
should adopt. Mr. Whitman said
that an additional reason why they
should adopt the plan was the fact
that very soon the school of River
side will outlive its capacity and then
it could be added to the new high
school aeording to the University
I improvement.

SOUNDING TUBE TELLS
OF APPROACH OF TRAINS
I<on<lon, —A tunnel of the Metro
politan Railway in London, which
much of the time is filled with
smoke or steam, has been equipped
for its 2200 feet of length with an
iron tube for giving notice of the
approach of trains, the tubes to be
agitated so as to produce a noise,
by means of treadles, and being so
arranged that it can be out of ser
vice when no men are at work in
the tunnel. It was found that horns
or gongs could be heard not over
700 feet in a clear atmosphere and
a much shorter distance when the
atmosphere was filled with smoke
or steam. A galvanized iron tube
of about three-quarter Inch internal
diameter is hung along the side of
[ the tunnel at the height of a man's
? head, and as trains approach or
_ enter the tunnel this pipe is caused
f to vibrate in such a way that it can
f be heard through its length.
