CLUB TO OPEN FOR COLORED WARVETERANS New Organization Fostered by War Camp Commun ity Service The Harrisburg Colored Soldiers' Club, which is being established through efforts of the Wr r Camp Community Service to better .ire for the needs of colored soldiers of the city and community, will be form ally opened to-morrow evening. A special program has been arranged for presentation in the newly-fur nished rooms of the organization in the Wickersham School Building, Briggs and Cowden streets, starting at 8.30 o'clock. The program to-morrow evening will be in charge of Lieut. E. A. Romero. He has been in this city directing activities <jf the organiza tion as it concerns colored people of the city for the past several months and will have charge of the new club. Robert A. Enders, president of the Harrisburg school board, will be the principal speaker at to-morrow evening's program. Other promin ent citizens are expected to be in cluded on this program, which will include other important features. The new club is made up of two commodious rooms, which have been well fitted up for the purpose. One room has been fitted up with a pool table, tables for cards, checkers and other games. The other room will serve as a reading room, where writing materials will be provided and where the men will be able to entertain their guests. These rooms will be available for use until about September 1, when they will have to be turned back to the school board to be gotten into shape for the fall term of school. They have been rendered available for use through efforts of colored citizens of the city working in con junction with the War Camp Com munity Service. The present club comes into ex istence to meet a big need in the city, according to Lieutenant Ro mero. Shortly after the establish ment of the War Camp Community Service in this city, another club was established in South Second street for the needs of the colored men. This club was not sufficiently contrally located and was ordered closed because of the little real need that it was able to furnish. Activities of the new organization wlil soon be in full swing. Mrs. Al lan Brooks, of Brooklyn, is expected to arrive in this city, and will be engaged in colored girls' work, ac cording to an announcement made to-day. Efforts will be made to arouse a community spirit among the people, which will continue to work good results even after the War Camp Community Service ceases to function. The efforts now look to the end of the establishment of a community center. No New Developments in Steelton Wage Problem Xo new developments were re ported to-day in the demand for in creased wages by employes of the open hearths of the Stelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company. Officials of the company maintain that it is impossible at this time to : grant increased wages. Employes, I however, it is believed will benefit , from one of the periodical changes made on the minimum production on | which the bonus system is based. | This change has already gone into effect.

Yesterday the Dauphin County Commissioners provided $6,288.16 as the county's share toward the fund for the year ending June 1, 1920. A similar amount has been appropriat ed by the ~State for expenditure here. According to Mrs. Lyman D. Gil bert, president of the association, much aid can be furnished with the amount which is available, but it is much below the needs at present. Because of this fact the directors have decided that aid is to be given | only to the families who are in the | greatest need. In the upper end of i the coflnty there are a number of \ families who must; be cared for be- | cause of the many men who died i during the influenza epidemic. The highest amount paid to a | widow with one child is sl2; with j two children, S2O; three children, | $26, and $5 for each additional child.

OVERHEAD WIRES OF CITY ARE COMING DOWN Line of Poles East in Walnut Street From River Will Be Removed Removal of the overhead wires of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company on the line of poles from the river to Penbrook ex tending east in Walnut street, will be started on Thursday, City Elec trician Clark E. Diehl said to-day. As soon as the wires are removed, the poles, each one more than 60 feet high, will be taken down. During the last few weeks the. company replaced the overhead lines in conduits underground and as a result about 100 poles are no longer needed. A few city wires on the poles will be removed at the same time the company lines come down, Mr. Diehl said. With the announcement of the plan of the Western Union Com pany that it will place its entire wire system underground in the city, thus permitting the removal of all overhead wires and poles, num bering more than 200, the total number of poles which will come down in the city before next Janu ary will be more than 600. The Western Union Company will place conduits and cables under ground from the city line at the county almshouse, west in Paxtcin street to River, to Mulberry, to Third, to the company office in North Third street. This will per mit the removal of poles in Derry street to the city line, downtown streets, and in North Seventh to Maclay streets. Cable lines replacing overhead systems of the Harrisburg Light anu Power Company have been stretched in practically the entire business section and connections will be made soon with the result that several hundred poles used by that cor poration can be taken down. City overhead lines for the police and fire alarm system extending north in Court street from Mul berry to State are to be replaced by cables, and a few poles in Walnut street also are lo be removed. According to Mr. Diehl. much of this work will be done during the late summer and early fall and ail the overhead systems should be removed by December, and many more of the city streets will be beautified by the improvement, he said. TELBGRLtPH ELLIOTT-FISHER MEN GET DOWN TO WORK After Night of Entertainment Delegates From All Parts of the Globe Hear Speakers Outline Business Methods Delegates to the first annual con vention of the Elliott-Fisher field forces got down to business in real fashion this morning at 8.30 o'clock. They had a big night last night in the grillroom of the Penn-Harris I Hotel,' plenty of fun, and more to I come. Business first and pleasure ! after is the slogan with this hustl ing bunch of delegates and they start early, handle business prompt- I ly and when their duties are over, I take up the .recreation program. These live-wire salesmen are early | risers. A reporter who made his way as early as 7 o'clock found a fairly good crowd of delegates on hand, discussing the events of yesterday or talking earnestly of some phase of their work. ■ They were much in I evidence on the first floor of the i hotel. Before the convention was called to order many had finished letters to their homes, others had finished long-distance telephone conversations to their people, for be it known the ElliottFislier sales man makes it a point to follow the early bird after the business worm. Illustrated Ixicturcs The lectures and talks to-day were on accounting subjects. They were illustrated by lantern slides and charts and actual bookkeeping forms of users of Elliott-Fisher ma chines. It is expected that the salesmen will get a great deal of. practical knowledge about the ap plication of their product from these lectures. It is difficult even for the company's own accountants of wide experience to fully appreciate the wonderful possibilities ahead for Elliott-Fisher machines. It was ex plained how a number of different accounting records are being writ ten and balanced as to accuracy all at a single operation. Session HON Early Start The program this morning began at 8.30 o'clock in the ball room. The call of the roll occupied the first minutes of the convention. So that the members of the big field force should know more of the concern for which they are working, L. G. Julihn, former president of the com pany, of Washington, D. C., read a paper on "The History of the Elliott Fisher Company," which set forth its progress over a period of thirty years and gave the delegates in formation they had not known be fore. Close attenton was paid to the facts set out in Mr. Julihn's paper. R. B. Buswell, of Chicago, followed with a paper on "The Development of Sales to Small Concerns." O. L. Gagg, of New York, spoke on "Daily Call Reports—Their Use and Value," being followed in turn by the following speakers and their topics: "Public Service Possibilities," R. E. Weaver, of Harrisbrg; "Elec tric Companies," H. L. Bryer, De troit; "Gas Companies," E. S. Ross, Hartford, Conn.; "Water Companies," G. W. Barker, Vancouver, B. C.; "Railroad Interline Abstracting," W. E. Phillips, New York; "Railroad Payroll Records," John Lyons, Balti more; "Hotel Registration cards," F. G. W. Bush, Buffalo; "Hotel Guest Accounts," C. H. Bolton, San Fran cisco; "Co-operation Between Of fices," F. L. Benedict, Philadelphia. At the conclusion of the reading of the papers, which bore evidence of careful preparation, the delegates went to the grill room for luncheon. Seven Spenkers on Program The afternoon session began at 2 o'clock. There were seven speakers on the program. The first speaker, R. Trego, explained "How to Cover a City Territory." He was followed by C. W. Jones, who told his fellow delegates "How to Cover a Country Territory." A. C. Brownless read a paper on "Mapping Out the Day's Work," E. W. Wilkinson advised of "Initiative in Selling," two Elliott- Fisher experts. E. F. Mumm and H. B. Gilmore, spoke of "Selling High Priced Equipment," and R. E. Rich wine read a paper on "Meeting Ob jections," concluding the afternoon program. Afternoon Sports "The control of accuracy and quantity production in accounting," sums up the theme of the lectures and the aim of the Elliott-Fisher sales organization. "Service to users" was'mentioned many times during the day by the different speakers, because every successful Elliott-Fisher salesman realizes that much of his future success depends upon the kind of service he renders his customers. "Service" will be the subject of several important talks before the convention closes on Saturday. At 4.30 this afternoon the men took dinner at the hotel and board ed special cars for the Colonial Country Club, where they will spend the evening playing golf, tennis, field sports and cards. After dark they will be entertained by a col ored Jazz orchestra and without a shadow of a doubt there will be much singing by the entire sales organization. . The men will return to the hotel about II o'clock. Perhaps some of them will manage to stefil the first few hours of s'.eep they have had for a week. Business sessions in the ballroom % I from 8.30 to 5.30, four baseball I games at Island Park and a dance I in the evening is the program for to-morrow. l.ast Night's Fun I The Penn-Harris grill was packed j last night to overflowing with the liveliest crowd of salesmen that ever came to Harrisburg. They called it a smoker on the Elliott-Fisher convention program, but it turned out to be a mustcale unequaled for variety at any similar previous af fair. The doors of the grill were thrown open to the happy family of sales men at 9 o'clock and immediately a seven-piece jazz orchestra peeled forth loud, jingling crashes and someone began to sing. A sales ; man named Coffman, of the com pany's San Francisco office, sud denly shed his coat and collar and commenced to dance. His asso ciates were delighted to And that they had an unheralded ex-profes sional in their midst. A spontaneous chap from Los Angeles followed with a shimmie dance all his own. One Hundred Voices Sales Manager Spahr led the chorus of over three hundred voices. They sang several numbers on the Elliott-Fisher convention songbooks and almost before the last of these songs was finished P. T. Shade, of New York, was singing a solo. The Penn-Harris orchestra and quartet then came on to vary the music. The program was arranged so that the salesmen were not permit ted to get used to any one brand of music before another tuned up. The jazz orchestra played a fast one while one of its number sang and danced on a round-top table. Mr Buch, of the local Elliott- Fisher factory organization, gave one of his anti-booze recitations and "Jimmie" Fitzpatrick, of the general office, tuned his violin to accom pany a fair young soprano. Just before the windup, two mu sical artists from the Wtlmer and Vincent circuit sang and guitared their way into the grill and enter tained for a short round. Everyone stood up and closed the smoker with a song to President P. D. Wagoner. Yesterday's program was devoted chiefly to an inspection of the plant in South Cameron street. One hun dred photographs of members of the convention were taken and more than 2,000 feet of movie film were made of the men as they alighted from the cars or moved about the busy manufacturing cen ter. Colored Girls Are Taking Part in Fly Campaign; Instruct in Sanitation An important part in the fly cam paign which is being conducted under the auspices of the Civic Club, is be ing played by the State Auxiliary, Junior Health League of Colored Girls, organized by Miss Younkins, social or ganizer of the Division of Public Health Education of the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Four teams have already been or ganized which are expected to form a nucleus for a much larger organiza tion. The captains of these teams are Viola Sample, Cornelia Brown, A'.da Auter and Mildred Mercer. Each cap tain has supervision over teams of from five to twelve girls. The city has been divided into districts and each team works its given district. They distribute sticky fly coils and fly pamphlets, investigating health and sanitary conditions as they go. Particular attention is being paid to the homes where there are babies, and the mothers are being taught to make kiddie coops and otherwise in structed in methods of protecting the babies from flies. The Chamber of Commerce has fur nished mosquito netting which is be ing distributed by these girls for indow screening and covering baby cribs. The teams are called together weekly, at which time they render their reports. Instruction in sanita tion, by means of lectures and lan tern slides is given at these meetings. The girls are displaying great in terest in their work and are expected to prove valuable aids in the city campaign. They have already brought to light many thngs that need cor recting and much good is expected to come through their work. PERMIT ISSUED FOR CI,ASTER RMIiDIXr.
