4 PROGRESS WITH HEALTH WORK BEINGWATCHED Other Cities of State Are In terested in Harrisburg's Efforts Other cities are taking the greatest Interest in the campaign Instituted by the health and civic bodies of the city and State to make Harrlsburg a model city In regard to the health and cleanliness of its less healthy localities. Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, who is chairman of the committee on wel fare work, has received a letter from the Allentown branch of the Red Cross, asking for a statement of the methods used by the Harrisburg branch in carrying on the welfare and educational work. Recently an other request of similar character was received from Lancaster, with the result that the latter city Is at present about to anaugurate a cam paign on the same lines as the one being conducted at present in this city. Dr. Dorothy Child, of the Health Department, said this morn ing that reports on the investigations being made by the survey committee are coming in rapidly and being con solidated, so that action may be taken as soon as possible in the in dividual cases. Many persons who have not realized the necessities for screens an dlike appliances to keep away flies, mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects from their babies, will learn how to take care of them from the workers. As each member of the committee goes about with a nurse, accurate and reliable information is coming iifc.on conditions as they exist to-day. The plan is not simply to observe these conditions, not to bother the unfortunate people by plying them with questions, but honestly to find out what seems to be the trouble and then get into action right away and do everyhing in their power to rem edy the situation as they find it. Dr. Child promises to publish some of the reports as soon as the investi gations shall have been completed.

The eyes of the commercial world of Germany are directed toward Mexico, according to German newspapers of recent date. With reference to Germany's prospec tive trade with Mexico the German Anzeiger which is devoted to the chemi cal industry says: "In Munich there was formed in 1918 a Germajj Mexican society composed of educated people. The purpose of this society is to dis seminate information about Mexico; lend impetus to the study of Spanish; bring about the teaching of the German language and German lcultur In Mexi can schools; induce Mexican salesmen to visit Germany; and induce Mexican youths to attend German universities. In March, 1919, a similar society was organized in Bavaria with a charter membership of 200 persons. "In Renthingen there has been in corporated the 'Almeco' founded by in dustrial firms, the purpose of the or ganization being to facilitate exchange of raw products and other commodities between the two countries. "Seventy-five per cent, of Mexico's exports found their way to the United States which regards Mexico as its warehouse. Of course those exports will now go to Germany. Our first duty is to secure from Mexico large imports of raw® materials and not re gard it as a dumping ground for Ger man goods." Senate Wants Treaty and Pact With French Submitted Together J!y Associated Press. Washington, July 24.—A resolu tion requesting President Wilson to submit to the United States the treaty by which the United States would promise to aid France in the event of an unprovoked attack by Germany was offered in the Senate to-day by Chairman Lodge, of the Foreign Relation Committee. Unanimous consent for its imme diate consideration was refused by Senator Robinson, Democrat, Ar kansas. Senator Lodge offered the meas ure after a sharp debate during which Republican spokesmen de clared that the terms of the treaty required that it be submitted to the Senate for ratification at the same time as the treaty with Ger many. Inquiring why the treaty with France proposing that the United States aid that country in event of an unprovoked attack by Germany has not been submitted to the Sen ate, Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut, read into the Record to-day a magazine article quoting the text of the document as requir ing that it be submitted for ratifica tion "at the same time" as the treaty with Germany. 41 Needy Mothers to Get Aid From Pension At a meeting of the Dauphin County Mothers' Association held at Red Cross headquarters yesterday afternoon plans were made to care for forty-one needy families during the coming year. The county and State are to equally bear the amount of $12,576.32, which was the appropriation made by the County Commission-era and the State re cently. Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, president of the association, and Mrs. Mercer B. Tate explained that there are at least fifty more families which need help, but the funds will be insuffi cient to meet their needs. Accord ing to the number of children in the family, payments are proportioned Ito the widows. Each month she re- I ceives a payment to assist in the support and education of her chil dren. It is hoped that more money may be appropriated next year in order that the work may be ex tended and carried into wider fields. SIOO,OOO Appropriation For Mine Victims Vetoed Legislative resolutions making an appropriation of SIOO,OOO for relief of sufferers by the disaster at the Baltimore mine, near Wilkes-Barre, on the ground that it was to pro mote public health, were vetoed to day by Governor Sproul. "The purpose of the resolution is meritorious in so far as it is de signed to relieve suffering, but it is an unwise precedent to establish to riake specific apropriations of this kind under the guise of appropria tions to promote the public health," says the Governor. "If this is ono of the functions of the State De partment of Health, the State De partment of Health has ample funds at its disposal under the gen eral appropriation to the depart ment for this purpose. Much as we might desire to give assistance, in addition to that so generously ren dered by the people or the neigh borhood, in this said situation, wo cannot do it in the manner con templated by the bill." Hundreds of Elks Are Attending Big Outing Elks started early to-day for the Whitehouse Club near Middletown for the second outing of the season. There was a continuous rush of B. P. O.

Dead fabbits, fish, tree branches, logs and water-soaked floors in many cottages are just a part of the results of the high waters in this vicinity. Cottagers went about in bathing suits ami boats last even ing and were not taking chances ot getting dumped into the muddy water. The community looked like a modern Venice. The water is re ceding to-day and the cleaning up is in order. Not less thai* 200 dead rabbits were scattered throughout the grove. Some of*those that escaped were found on steps and high places. Fish by the hundreds were also scattered about the grounds after the waters went back. The water covered the lower floors of tho cottages and at some places reached the second floors. Bedding was placed on the roofs to prevent damage. Furniture was also carried to high t places. James Macklin, known as the "Mayor" of this place, was busy last rdght with his auto taking folks to and from trains and in delivering guests to a card party.
