.10MPER DAY DRAWS
THOUSANDS TO PARK
[Continued from First Page.]
like indoor baseball with only one
Base; rather resembling the old
fame of "scrubby." The players
sertainly put the old "pep" into their
playing and had it not been for the
restraining and guiding hand of Of
ficial Meek, several beautiful young
aomen would probably have hurled
themselves prostrate on the ground
in their earnest endeavors to throw
somebody out. Anyway, they all en
joyed it and Hamilton bore away the
"bacon" in the first contest by the
tremendous score of 87 to 45.
Volleyball had its devotees also.
The game which so charmed the
mayor of a little Cumberland Val
ley town that he invited several
teams over just to play it for him,
seemed to have the same pull upon
the audience to-day. In fact, they
got so close to the lines that they
woiild have interfered with The ac
tion had not the strong arm of the
law pushed them back. It was a
perspiration producing game and
anyone would get hot from merely
observing it.
And the Mcrry-Go-Round
One of the funniest sights of the
whole day was the merry-go-round,
which did not cease to revolve the
entire morning. Grouped about the
middle of the revolving apparatus
were rows of little girls sitting like
birds on a perch, and gazing down
with pride and affection upon their
willing i.ohorts of the male sex, who
ceaselessly revolved about the lower
portion of the affair faithfully
pushing and pushing until they were
nearly exhausted. A few bigger boys
rode around without working, until
shamed into industrious efforts by
the rebuking looks and still more
rebuking voices of the feminine con
tingent sitting on high.
"Fats Guards" Very Busy
The guards had a terrible time
keeping the crowd back from the
tables, which were being set this
morning with all the good things
which usually go with a big picnic.
This was free lunch, provided for by
a trust fund which the late Samuel
Kunkel left. And from the looks of
the long tables, which did their
proverbial groaning under the
weight of many good things, there
are going to be many profiteering
"tummies" to-night. -'With eager
and impatient looks the little fellows
crowded against the ropes, waiting
anxiously for the word which would
admit them to their portion of the
feast. Each playground had a big
sign up for its section of the tables.
The menu was to consist of thou
sands upon thousands of beef sand
wiches. bananas, sweet cakes,
pickles, and the like. The ice cream
was the gift of Eli Hershey, who
gave each kiddie a big plate with a
heaping portion of cream on it. The
remarks (lew fast and furious as the
hungry crowd with difficulty held
it3elf in.
You Say It!
"Hi, Chimmie, lookut 'at the
buncha bananas. I bet I ken eat
more'n you.'
"Aw, betcha can't. Gee. looku
thuh pickles. I'll tell the Woild I'm
gonna get outside of some of them."
"My goo'ness, Gertie, didja ever
see so much ice cream all to onst in
your life. Int all for it. ain't you?"
"You said it!"
And when tho youngsters finally
wore admitted and fell upon the
food there was the sound of a
mighty ocean as glass after glass of
lemonade found its resting place
In many an enger-to-be-fllled stom
ach. No cases of acute indigestion
have been reported vet, but the
druggists are stocking up on soda
mint and castor oil in preparation.
The food for the lunch began to ar
rive early and was a source of eager
interest on the part of the boys and
girls who lingered around the delivery
trucks as they hove into the park. The
lunch materials included 3,600 beef
sandwiches. 3.700 pickles. 4.000 ba
nanas. 10.000 cakes. 1,200 lemons. 300
pounds of sugar, 300 pounds of Ice,
for the making of 225 gallons of lem
onade, and last, but by no means least,
3.600 ten-cent bricks of Hershey's ice
cream. The cream was the gift of
EH N. Hershey. former president of
the Harrisburg Rotary Club and head
of the Hershey Creamery Company,
who sent a detail of men to the park
to see that it was properly served.
Needle Work Splendid
The exhibition of sewing, knitt
ing. and crocheting was really very
fine. All the girls of the play
grounds who have taken an inter
est in this work under the supervis
ion of Miss Caroline Hatton survey
ed their efforts with great pride to
day as they listened to the admiring
comments that were passed by
everyone who wandered into the
pavilion to look them over. They
are surely a credit to the instruc
tor.
After they could be pried away
from the tables and the last mor
sel of food had disappeared, the
crowd assembled at the play festi
val grounds, north of the band
stand. There the junior boys' inter
playground contests were held, in
eluding potato relay races, leap
frog contests, rescue races, and oth
ers of like sort.
Folk Dancing Pretty
At 2 o'clock began the folk dance
festival, In which several hundred
girls took part. Everything from an
Irish lilt to a Kamarinskaia. what
ever that Is, was danced and danced
gracefully. The folk dancing has
always been one of the rr \<t popu
lar and by all odds the most pic
turesque of the entire program The
crowd showed its appreciation by
cheering wildly after each number
and numerous encores were in or
der.
Then came the children's singing
gamfes which were very entertain
ing. and included the good old fa
miliar tunes of "The Farmer in the
Dell," "Looby Loo," and "Here Wo
Go Round the Mulberry Bush,"

THURSDAY EVENING,
RIDE FOR NOTHING!
IT'S EASY SAYS BOY
Crawls Between Scats and Goes and Conies When He Feels
Like It; Betrayed by His Feet Only
If you want to know how to
travel In first-class passenger
coaches on the Pennsylvania Rail
road without cost ask Dominic k
Fusco, 13, whose home is at 328
East 112 th street, New York city.
He stopped off in Harrisburg for
several hours, not on his own voli
tion, hut because he was discovered
by .Tames Morrisey, special oft Dei.
Kusco rode from New York city
to Canton, Ohio, last week, and af
ter spending several days in the
West, started homeward, reaching
Harrisburg at 9.15 this morning.
His trip to and from Canton was be
tween seats, back to back. He was
happy because he could ride for
nothing.
"I just pulled the two backs to
gether and made a tent and crawled
under," the youngster said. "A
man came in and put his dress suit
case in the aisle. I pulled it be
tween the seats and- no one could
see me. T got to Canton all right
and had a little money, but wanted
to get back hortie. I hung around
the station until the train came in
and jumped on. I found two seats
ready for me. One conductor no
ticed my shoes and asked the pas
which on good authority are said
to be rounding out their three hun
dredth year of popularity. The
Maypole dance was a very pretty
affair, too, with its myriad colors
twisting about in the hands of the
girls from Emerald, Maclay and
Reservoir playgrounds.
The senior boys' inter-playground
contest finished up the afternoon
and then there was a wild rush for
the cars. As each car pulled away
from the park the youngsters gave
loud cheers for those responsible
for the party and then settled down
to the enjoyment of the ride home.
And it was a tired but happy bunch
of kids that came home to-night to
tell dad and mother what a won
derful day they had at Reservoir.
Thfe results of the morning con
tests are as follows:

The only accident to mar the pleasure
of the day occurred at noon when little
senger on the seat if they were his
shoes, The man was asleep and did
not answer. The last conductor, he
caught me by the toes and I got out
and vat turned over to the officer."
This is the second time, Fusco
has been in Harrisburg. In April
he came from New Y'ork city to
Harrisburg, in a baggage car. Ho
found a comfortable place back of
a pile of trunks and was not discov
ered until the train reached this clt>.
"It is easy," said the boy. "Why
I have been in Washington, Balti
more and Philadelphia and made the
round trip and never got caught. J
know the trains and when I find a
crowded car there are always two
seats ready for me. Sometimes I
get into a mail car and hide under
mail bags.'
Dominick was well treated here.
The hat was passed at the station
and enough money secured to pay
his way back home. On his arrival
in New York city he will be turned
over to nn officer. He was given
his dinner by the matron, Mrs.
Mars- K. Kennedy. On his way to
the train he shouted: "Look out for
me, I'll be back soon. I'll have a
r.ew place to hide."
Mary Blasko, 1063 Ninth street, fell
and fractured her arm. Little Miss
Blasko was the victim of some super
enthusiastic soul whose appetite sur
passed his more considerate qualities
with the result that he pushed the girl
under the table in his wild scramble
for food and fractured her arm. She
was treated at the Harrlsburg Hospital.
MARKETPROBLEMS TO

offered in the stores and the city
markets.
The survey will consist of the es
tablishing of a city market map,
showing the locality of all the pub
,.lic markets, the wholesale and re
tail food dealers, cold storage plants
and railroad and trolley terminals.
Marketing experts will study the mu
nicipal regulations covering licenses
and food protection measures and all
phases of inspection and standard
ization of foods.
Study Supply Source
The direct study of the market
will include the sources of supply of
both shipped goods and that brought
to the local market from sur
rounding districts. The standard of
quality demanded by the whole
salers and the consumers will also
be studied and a careful investiga
tion will be made into the percent
age of waste due to deterioriation.
The cold storage situation and the
demands and the buying habits of
the consuming public will also form
an important part of the survey.
Following the survey the Bureau
of Markets will recommend to the
city authorities any changes that
they may feel will benefit both the
farmers and the consumers of the
city and will recommend anv
changes that they feel will be of
benefit to the wholesale and retail
food dealers of the-city. Director
Smith has done splendid work with
marketing problems for cities in
Connecticut and the New England
States and many policies which he
has recommended have been fol
lowed with splendid results in some
of the larger cities in Connecticut.
Secretary of Agriculture Fred
Uasmussen is much interested in the
market survey and says that while
it may take considerable time for a
complete study, Ilarrisburg is being
taken as a representative Pennsyl
vania city and that both the farmers
and the consumers will be benefited.
The market survey work will ex
tend throughout the State following
the work in Harrisburg. Director
Smith will be one of the speakers at
the meeting of the officials of third
class cities at Allentown and sur
veys for other cities will be outlined
at that time. It is part of the move
of the Department of Agriculture to
have uniform marketing conditions
throughout the State, as far as pos
sible, so that co-operatiye'marketing
associations of farmers can supply
any market with carload shipments
that will meet the standards of the
various communities.

place is yours, who wants a program
anyhow? Most picnic programs last
about three and one-half minutes at
most, say the Chamber of Commerce
members, and George S. Rcinoehl and
Warren R. Jackson found no one mak
ing any criticksm of ihe lack of a
formal speech of welcome and all the
conventionalities which are sometimes
attempted.
The crowds started from the city
shortly after noon In automobiles and
there were plenty of cars and plenty
of members on hand to fill them
to capacity. They expect to get back
someMme during the evening but the
way things were going this afternoon
it began to look as though" some of
them preferred camping for a week's
outing.
Lunch Attracts Many
After indulging a few hours of sport
the crowds began to wonder about one
of the most important things at every
picnic.—the lunch table. The commit
tee on "cats" did Itself proud and
some of the members will have band
ages on their arms judging from the
handshakes they got to commend them
for the luncheon. It was served in the
usual Chamber of Commerce outing
style, "come on, you hungry hordes, if
you don't get your share don't blame
George."
Mercer B. Tate was chairman of
the committee to arrange for the pic
nic, and anyone who has been on a
Chamber outtng knows Just what Mer
cer's ability Is to start things. He
didn't have the crowd there two min
utes before he hgd everybody step
ping around and ready to go in for
anything. George N. Barnes, Boyd M.
Ogelsby, Martin W. Fager and Frank
J. Brady, also noted outing experts,
had a string of stunts and tricks to
keep the merriment on the increase.

fixing power to President Wilson
was eliminated upon the suggestion
of the Attorney General, who told
the committee that such power was
"inapplicable in the present fight
against high prices."
Retailers, previously exempted
under the act, now are liable to
prosecution for violation, but farm
ers and farmers' co-operative asso
. ciations are exempted.
The amendment probably will be
considered by the House to-morrow.
Attorney General Palmer said
there was evidence that the govern
ment campaign to reduce the cost
of living already was bearing fruit.
"We want to make clear, how
ever," the Attorney General said,
"that nothing we can do can change
the immutable economic laws on
which prices depend. If we can in
crease the supply by greater produc
tion and lessen demand by greater
saving on the part of the people,
then the cost of living should come
down. We can help that along by
forcing hoarders to put on the mar
ket food held out for an advance in
prices.'
The Attorney General and Judge
Ames, his assistant, drew distinc
tions, which they said the public
should recognize, between hoarded
food and stored food. The former
is held out of the market in greater
quantities than required for the
owners" business for the purpose of
forcing up the market. The latter
is surplus being husbanded from
the harvest to the lean season.
Cardinal Gibbons
Scores Profiteers
Cardinal Gibbons was in Philadel
phia on a short visit to Archbishop
Dougherty, and declared "the Gov
ernment is doing exactly right in go
ing after the food profiteers."
Cardinal Gibbons had been the guest
[of Martin Maloney at Spring Lake, N.
J., for two weeks, and was on his way
home when he stopped off to visit
the archbishop.
"All profiteers should be punished,
without regard to how powerful or
how small they are," declared Cardi
nal Gibbons. "The merchants and
dealers can be expected to make a
fa(r profit, but those who take ad
vantage of the times and conditions
and ask and receive'more than a fair
price for their goods should be pun
ished." He continued: "Profiteerir.g
can be justified by nothing and should
be stopped immediately, by as dras
tic measures as are at the command
of the Government."
Going After "Little"
Hoarders as Well as Big
By Aaitociatrd Prcaa.
Washington, Aug. 21.—At the sug
gestion of Attorney General Palmer,
the House Agricultural Committee
decided not to exempt retailers doing
a business of less than SIOO,OOO from
the anti-profiteering sections in the
Food Control act. This means, as Mr.
Palmer told the committee this after
noon. that the Government will be
able to "go after the little fellows
as well as the big ones." The penal
ty of two years' imprisonment with
an alternative fine of $6,000 will
thereby be Imposed on all offenders,
and this will be applicable to the
corner grocery store as well as to
the great packers.

Expedition's Withdrawal
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 21.—The Mexi
can Ambassador here lias been In
structed by his Government to pro
test to the State Department against
the dispatch of American troops
across the Border and to request
their withdrawal, according to state
ment issued at Mexico City yester
day.
The statement as received here to
day said:
"Two aviators of the Army of the
United States, through error, so they
state, flew over our territory, land
ing approximately 112 kilometres
to the south of the frontier, where
they were captured tty a band of 20
bandits. They have now been liber
ated.
"Some troops of the Eighth Cav
alry of the United States crossed
the frontier in pursuit of the out

Relations gave instructions at once
to our Embassy in Washington to

The Senate held a secret session
last night and instructed the Com

Carlisle Hospital Will
Not Be Closed in October;
New Staff to Take Charge
Residents of Central Pennsylvania
and those who have relatives or
friends now being treated at the
United States Army Hospital at Car
lisle. will doubtless be interested to
know that this hospital will not be
closed on October 15th, as has been
rumored.
When this rumor came to the atten
tion of Congressman Krelder. he inves
tigated it and found that this hospital
was scheduled to be closed not later
than October 15.
Owing to the number of patlepts now
being treated at the hospital and the
numerous requests for transfer to this
hospital of men who wish to he treated
there, so that they will be near home,
Mr. Krelder felt that it was not an op
portune time to abandon the Carlisle
Hospital. He therefore consulted with
Surgeon General Ireland and as a re
sult, he was to-day Informed that the
hospital would not be closed.
The present staff, personnel, etc., will
likely be discontinued, but will be re
placed and the hospital continued.
This method of handling the situa
tion will permit the continued treat
ment of those patients who desire and
whose relatives and friends desire them
to be there and at the same time re
lieve those of the present personnel
who desire to be released.

Old Timer—Here's A
Harmless, Foaming
Thirst Quencher
EVERY ice cold bottle of CU-RO that you
order is like gripping the hand of an
old pal. The same old "come-again"
taste; the same creamy, bubbling head; the
alluring, mellow, October-brown glint that a
man likes to see in his beverage.
Not an atom of kick in all the CU-RO that's
made, and yet this popular beverage is rapidly
forging to the front as America's favoyte, for
it always satisfies.
Order a case for the home ice box this very
day, and always serve with the frost glistening
on the bottle.

Divorce Is Refused by
Judge Kunkel Because
of Insufficient Evidence
| Ruling that the evidence which had
] been submitted in the divorce action
I brought by Charles L. Wilson, Steel
ton, against his wife, Mrs. Cora Wil
son, now believed to be living in
Cleveland, Ohio, was insufficient,
President Judge Kunltcl refused to
grant a divorce.
According to evidence in the case
as given by Wilson, Geney Mack and
' Tom Brooks were named as co-re
spondents, and were accused of caus
ing trouble in the Wilson family at
Iron Gate, W. V.
In two civil court actions Judge
Kunkel also gave short opinions.
One of these was a ruling on a peti
tion presented by A. J. Lehrman, of
Steelton. Mr. I.ehrman at a recent
sheriff's sale, bid to buy a property
in Wallace street, but contended he
made the offer with the understand
ing that there would he no incum
brances on the house. When he
found that it was to be scld subject to
a lien he petitioned the court to set
aside the original proceeding to hold
a sale of the property. In the opin
ion Judge Kunkel decided that his
remedy at law would be to ask to
have the sale set aside and not the
execution writ.
In another action Bayard U. Liv
ingston brought suit against Harris
Aaronson for SI,OOO rent for a tract
of ground in the Eleventh ward, New
York city, and "through counsel made
a motion for judgment in his favor
claiming inst fficieit answer had been
filed to his cluim. The court, how
ever, ruled otherwise and refused to
order judgment to bo entered. The
case will be listed now for jury trial.
Elihu Root Wfites
Will of Carnegie
New York, Aug. 21.—When Mr.
■ I Carnegie decided to make such ex
tensive changes that he felt they
; could not be expressed properly m
a codicil his health would not per
mit him to do the same amount of
I labor again and he turned the en
i tire matter to Ellhu Root.
In addition to administering the
: Carnegie estate, the Home Trust
Company will continue acting as
pensioner to nearly 500 persons
who for years have relied almost
wholly on monthly checks from Mr. <
Carnegie for their living. All of
• these had been known personally by
Mr. Carnegie in the early days of
■ his success, and some even dated to
1 the telegraph operator phase of his
s career, when he manipulated a key
i on the Pennsylvania Railroad. ]
These monthly payments run
i from $25 to SSO and will be con
. tinued during the life time of eacli
■ pensioner from a fund for that pur.
i pose established by Mr. Carnegie
• outside of his will. One of tho pen
' sioners is said to be a Scotchwoman
t born in a high station in life who
C was, abandoned by her husband and
left penniless when he absconded
some years ago from a position of
trust.
The statement, based on alleged

■ income tax on a fortune of only
, $50,000,000 and that the sum to be
t disbursed in his will is not larger,

NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Pbonphatc
to I'iit on Firm, Healthy Flesh
■■ml to Increase Strength,
Vigor n nil Nerve Force
When one stops to consider th
host of thin people who are searching
continually for some method by
which they may increase their flesh
to normal proportions by the filling
out of ugly hollows, the rounding off
of protruding angles with the at
tendant bloom of health and attract
iveness, it is no wonder that many
and varied suggestions along this lino
appear from time to time in publia
print.
While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals it is a
well-known fact that the lack of suf
ficient phosphorous in the human sys
tem is very largely responsible for
this condition. Experiments on hu
mans and unimals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question
of doubt that a body deficient in
phosphorous becomes nervous, sickly
and thin. A noted author and profes
sor In Ills book, "Chemistry and Food
Nutrition," published In 1918, says:
••• • • that the amount of phos
phorous required for the normal nu
trition of man is seriously underes
timated in many of our standard text
books."
It seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorous may
now he met by the use of an organio
phosphate known throughout Eng
lish speaking countries as Bitro-
Phosphate. Through the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
the phosphoric content when absorb
ed in the amount normally required
by nature soon produces a welcome
change in our body and mind. Nerve
tension disappears, vigor and strength
replace weakness and lack of energy,
I nnd the whole body soon loses its
ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be
coming enveloped in a glow of per
fect health and beauty and the will
and strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION:—WhiIe Bltro-Phosphate
Is unsurpassed for the relief of nerv
ousness, general debility, etc., thoee
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoid
ing fat-producing foods.
