" WILL SPEED UP N. G. RECRUITING Price Holds Conference With Adjutant General Bcary Philadelphia, Aug. 1. Reeruit ing for the new Pennsylvania Na ' tional Guard will be speeded up in ▼ the fall, said Major General Wil liam G. Price, commander of the Guard here after his conference with Adjutant General Frank D. Beary, Colonel David Davis, of Scranton, chief-of-staff, and bri gade commanders. The new Guard will be known as the Twenty-Eighth Division and will have the red key , stone as an insignia. "We will not incorporate the re serve militia into the National Guard," General Price said, "but I members will be accepted if they join as individuals. We are anxi ous for reserve officers to join and expect that the National Guards men who were sworn into the Fed eral service and went abroad witli the Twenty-Eighth Division will re enlist in the units which will be re- ; instated as they were before the war." Something Hits Watches of Allison Hill Men Something happened last night tj Allison Ilill watches. Whether it was the weather or magnetism in the atmosphere is a question. Nine T passengers on a Reservoir Park ear this morning found their watches from ten to fifteen minutes behind time. These nine persons were all late in getting to work. Shortly after four men boarded | the ear at Nineteenth and Market j streets a whistle blew. "There is the 6.30 whistle," said one man. "You are wrong." said the conduc tor, pulling out his watch. "It is just ten minutes of 7." Out came every watch in the car. "You can't be right," said one pas senger. "Oh, yes I am," spoke up the conductor, and the motorman corroborated his statement. "If you *■' time is right, then I am slow," a businessman remarked. Then came a comparison of time by nine watches. Every watch was behind that of the conductor and motor man.

Those who were able to move after this got into the married men—single men baseball game, which ended with the married men two runs to the good. The more musically inclined got together an improvised orchestra and had a dance in the pavilion. ' In order that the Carlisle men could get an early start homeward, supper was served rather early. Later the games and stunts were put on, and included everything in the line of funny stuff that could be thought of; the cake-baking contest was also decided then. Miss Mabel Givler got the silk stockings offered as a prize for the most delectable con coction and those who had an oppor tunity of getting outside of it say it couldn't be equaled. The picnic is tin annual affair and this year's decidedly dwarfs any of the previous parties.

MOSQUITO PEST ! AWAITS ACTION OF CITY COUNCIL State Health Department Is Ready to Co-operate With Harrisburg j According to Charles A. Emerson, I Jr., chief engineer of the Sanitary Division of the State Health Depart ment, the State is only waiting for J the co-operation of the City Council j before proceeding to exterminate the | mosquito in this city. I Mr. Emerson had one of his chief I assistants from Philadelphia make Ja thorough investigation of potential | breeding places for mosquitoes , throughout Harrisburg and this re i port was submitted by Dr. J. M. J. Itaunick, city health officer, to the City Council for approval and ac tion. The Council has so far failed to make any provision to take care of this work, however, and the State is ready to assist in every way pos sible as soon as some action is taken. The chief places of mosquito breeding in town are Wildwood Park, Pleasantview, near the Arsenal in Eighteenth street, and Italian Park. The latter place especially is very troublesome, as th'e outlet to the lake is blocked by three cul verts, every one of which is quite a bit higher than the surface of the lake itself, so that although they were originally planned to drain the swamp, now they serve only as a dam. According to Mr. Emerson, these culverts could be lowered at a cost of slightly over $lOO, and as the streets under which the are built are as yet unpaved, there would be no difficulty in the operation at all. Hoffman's Woods is another part of town which includes about half an acre of very foul swamp. The treatment in this case would be to divert the route of the ash wagons northward to the woods, and the swamp could be filled up in no time and the mosquito nuisance in that quarter permanently removed. In the main part of the city, how ever, the trouble results from the drain troughs, which are harboring [swarms of the pests. Contrary to common thought, the drains are not completely flushed with each heavy rain, but an eddy remains which is entirely untouched by the rush of water. Mr. Emerson's plan for these places is to have two men, with a light truck, go about the city every ten days and thoroughly spray the drains with a light oil which the State uses in like cases. This could be done at very slight expense to the city, and would prove an effec tive means of keeping down the mos quitoes. The State will co-operate in this to the extent of furnishing an in spector and assistant inspector for the work, and are extremely eager that it be carried on. The City Coun cil is expected to take action on this matter very shortly. E. B. Betser Chosen Head of Farm Bureau E. B.

B. Cowden and E. Clark Cowden, engineer for the Planning Commission. As soon as the cost of the street changes is estimated together with the expense which would be involved for the treatment of the park and providing a lake or pool, the en gineers will submit a joint report to the Planning Commission. It is expected that by that time the executors of the McKec-Ora ham estate will have submitted to the Planning Commission also a written statement of their offer and the requirements which they desire the city to comply with in order to receive the park tract as a gift. Now Street Lines These points were agreed upon at a joint meeting of the executors and the Planning Commission members, together with the engineers and city councilmen. It was decided at that session that tho city should agree to improve the park in three years and provide the pool if possible, and lay out Green, Third and Sixth streets, along the lines originally designed by the Planning Commission. Members of City Council have said they favor making Green street 120 feet wide from Schuylkill to the northern city limits; and Sixth and Third streets, 60 feet wide to the northern city limits. It is under stood they approve the lines of these streets as changed by the engineers. City Engineer Cowden said lie is preparing now a plan of the sti ects, which will be completed soon. He explained that it may be necessary to do some surveying be fore the lines can be determined definitely but this should not delay the actual sale of the Hoffman's Woods site to the school district. City Councilmen said they will act as soon as they receive an official statement of the park and street situation through the Planning Com mission, as this plan of procedure was approved at the joint meeting recently. The councilmanic com mittee will make its report at the same time. The members include Mayor Keister and Commissioner E. Z. Gross.
