For! some days past there has been a big demand for box cars. Strike of shopmen on vurious lines in the west tied up equipment. Industries are c.amoring for box cars, and there is at present a big rush of fertilizer for farmers, who must have it now. Grain shipment re- \ quire many box cars. With a view to getting the rolling stock on the move more regularly every shipping point in the United States, including Harrisburg, will be watched closely in order to prevent delays. The railroad administration has issued strict orders to all ship pers that they must load such cars as they receive to capacity or suffer j a curtailment of proportioned sup ply. It is also pointed out that the Gov ernment has been using many box cars in shipment of food to and from various supply depots. An average movement of 50 cars per day has been reported from New Cumberland. In the east several hundred cars have been used to and from Philadelphia, New York, New ark and other points. More Cars Available When the Government food has been disposed of, and the farmers well taken care of in shipments of fertilizer, it is the belief that con ditions will improve. Most of the railroad shopmen in the west are back to work. This will let loose many hundred cars. Large trains of empty cars are going west daily. There is a report that the Gov ernment has a considerable number of box cars stored on side tracks. These cars were built, it is said, dur ing the war and at war prices, the necessity being such as to constitute an emergency and Justify almost any price to get the cars. But it is said, the railroad corporations are not willing to sign a contract for the purchase of these cars at the price asked. The suggestion has been made that the railroad take the cars for use on a per diem basis at a specified rental. Discipline Bulletin Shows Dismissals and Reprimands During the week ending August 16, three Middle division employes were dismissed from the service, according to the weekly discipline bulletin. One car cleaner lost his job for sleeping while on duty, a carpenter was dismissed for being absent without permission and a laborer was discharged for refusing to do the work assigned. Thirty-eight employes were sus pended. Included in the list was one patrolman, who was given thirty days for violating rule G, drinking intoxicants while off duty. Twenty six men were reprimanded for vari ous causes during the week. Baltimore and Ohio to Electrify Eastern Lines Clarksburg. W. Va., Aug. 23. It is reported on points along the eastern end of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and in Baltimore that the company is planning to install electric power for the movement of freight on the 17 mile grade start ing a short distance west of Keyser, in Mineral county. The use of heavy electric motors to haul the Norfolk and Western trains over the big grade in the southern end of the State has proved very successful, and it is believed that ere long this may be the plan adopted on the Baltimore and Ohio. The recent de mand made by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers that auto matic stokers be placed on all en gines of the Mallet type and two firemen also, if forced upon the rail roads, would lessen the ultimate proportionate cost of electrifving railroads, and it is believed might hasten the use of motors on the Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad Notes Mrs. Resta M. Runkle, clerk in the Bureau of Information, Penn sylvania Railroad station has re turned from a two weeks' vacation. Wendall Fackler, local manager for the Union News Company, is sojourning with his family at As bury Park, N. J. Niagara Falls excursionists over the Pennsy from this city yester day numbered 100. Other excur sions will be run on September 5 and 19. Crews on the Philadelphia and Reading Railway are making better time and freight business is on the increase. Supervisor Confers With Reading Section Foremen Supervisor Joseph G. Brand, of the Harrisburg division of the Phila delphia and Reading Railway, held a conference with all section fore men, employed from Reading to Harrisburg, at his offices at Lebanon, concerning work and improvements contemplated during the next few months. New equipment was dem onstrated and the foremen familar ized with its operation. Use Freight Locomotives to Haul Soldier Trains Freight locomotives on the middle division of the Pennsy were pressed into service this morning to haul express and passenger trains west ward from Harrisburg. One of the troop trains used a freight engine engon the haul to this city with a freight engine hauling an express, arriving at 8.40 o'clock. The freight locomotives were used due to the passenger engine shortage. Standing of the Crews HARRISBIRG SIDE Philadelphia Division. The 129 crew to go first after 3.30 o'clock -109, 118, 128.

What Effect Will It Have NEXT Winter? BEFORE embarking on what seems to be an orgy of "storage food seizure," it is proper that the public and officials look beyond the immediate present! Agents of the Government, attempting to quickly reduce living costs, are seizing stored food stuffs in various sections of the country, and announcing their inten tion to force immediate marketing of the food, some of which is in process of cure, the balance for use in winter or the season of short production. —Foods That Are Stored The Surplus Egg Production of March, April, May and June. # The Surplus Butter Production of May, June and July. The Surplus Beef from Range Cattle as Marketed in the Fall. The Surplus Pork Production —(Most of It To Be Cured.) Unless the surplus of the season's production is available for gradual distribution there is bound to be a scarcity. The present movement may be likened to the which perform a real function in the process of cutting down of a tree in order to obtain its fruit. distribution, and which have regular customers, That is one way to get the fruit in a hurry, but whose needs they supply.

Institute of American Meat Packers With Choir and Orqanist The vacation season for choirs and organists is fast drawing to a close and the first Sunday In September will see the majority of singers and players back In the choir lofts of the city. A num ber of singers have taken advantage of their vacation periods to visit teach ers in the big cities and not a few have visited cities where musical affairs were in progress, notable the summer Chau tauquas. Mrs. Phoebe Turner will be the solo ist at Second Reformed Church to-mor row merning in the absence of Mrs. Ada Culp Bowman, soprano, who is absent from duty during the vacation season. Henry Stewart, who had been the baritone soloist in this choir, but who went to war. has resigned his posi tion. Joseph D. Brodeur, organist and choirmaster at St. Patrick's Cathedral, has been in Canada on a vacation trip. He will resume his place in the State street church early in September. Mr. Brodeur wrote friends here during his absence. He. too, visited places in Quebec, to which sepcial musical in terest attached. Alfred C .Kuschwa. who had been in New York, is back at the organ at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Fourth Street Church of God is to have a quartet choir beginning with the first Sunday of September, the church council during the summer deciding on this departure. The chorus choir will also be continued, but the church coun cil, In view of the experiences of many churches, determined that a quartet choir would best solve its music prob lem. The full personnel of the choir has not definitely been decided on. J. R. Swartz has been organist and choir master at this church for 11 years. Sotton, who had been solo ist at l'ine ♦, '•et Presbyterian Church for a nur ha >f years, but who gave up the pos'w i when called to the war service, is back in the musical life of Harrisburg and on a Sunday recently sang for the First Christian Science congregation. To-morrow evening at Second Re formed Church an arrangement of Handel's, "He Shall Feed His Flock," will be sung by three voices, with Mrs. Frank D. Clark as the accompanist. It Is said that with the beginning of the fall season there will' be a number of changes In several choirs. Much to the regret of the congregation, Mrs. Edwin C. Thompson, who has been the gifted organist and choirmistress at Salem Reformed Church ,has signified her desire to be relieved of the position, although she is being prevailed upon to continue the splendid work she has so faithfully rendered during a period of years. The congregation of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church is looking forward with much interest to the coming of its new organist and choirmaster. The contract calls for the completion of the Hutchings organ by October 1. although It is believed the instrument may be placed before that time. Already talk is heard of organ re citals for next season and it is not improbable the Harrisburg Organists' Association will take steps early to give Harrisburg music lovers the advantage of sacred concerts on several of the fine organs In the churches of the city. Mrs. Florence Ackley Ley will con tinue as soprano soloist at Messiah Lutheran Church the coming year. Mrs. Ley has been unusually active in the leadership of community singing and not infrequently has gone out of the city to assist other less favored com munities in this class of work. MADE IT UNANIMOUS It was married men's night at the revival meeting. "Let all you husbands who have troubles on your minds stand up," shouted the emotional preacher at the height of his spasm. Instantly every man in the church rose to his feet except one. "Ah," exclaimed the preacher, peer ing out at this lone sitter, who occupied a chair by the door and apart from the others, "you are one in a million." "It ain't that," piped back this one, helplessly, as the rest of the congrega tion turned to gaze suspiciously at him. "I can't get up; I'm paralyzed."—Lon don Tit-Bits. "AUGUST 23, 1919. NOAH DID WELL WITH HIS ARK, BUT WAIT! [Continued from First Page.] This swim will be one of the big features of the afternoon program and is expected to attract some of the best swimmers in the State, par ticularly since out-of-town swimmers and canoeists are strongly urged to take part in the various events. A Thriller The obstacle canoe race this year will be a thriller and much more difficult than formerly. The course will cover a quarter mile. The con testants will first enter their canoes from the water, paddle 100 yards, take their canoe over a floating tele phone pole, paddle another 100 yards, sink their craft, empty the water, resume paddling and cross a line of floating casks before the fin ish. Second only to the obstacle race for fun will be the tub race of a quarter-mile. In this race the con testants will be required to travel the entire length of the course in an ordinary wooden tub. Ira Ivindler, chairman of the canoe committee, has secured the services of "Dick" Rauch, State Col lege athlete, and expert canoeist, to act as coach for the various war canoe teams. Rauch will be at Reist's boathouses every afternoon next week supervising the trial cruises of the various teams. Can didates for the Tech team will re port to Captain Robert Lutz, at Reist's boathouses, Tuesday after noon at 3 o'clock for their first try out. Every Tech canoeist is urged to turn out. Plenty of Medals The executive committee an nounced last evening that gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded the three winners in each athletic event. Four valuable mer chandise prizes in addition to the loving cup will go to winners in the decorated boat parade. Employes of the Park Department began to-day to trim the hedge along the edge of River Front Park so that spect%'ors will have an unob structed view of the river during the big celebration. Raymond Suydam, of the Steelton Canoe Club, announced at last evening's meeting that at least a score of Steelton athletes will par ticipate in the various events. Ah additional event of interest to old rlvermen was added to the pro gram when it was decided to have a half-mile boat poling contest. This event will show Harrisburger's the real way to propel a flat-bot tomed boat through the water. It is expected that some of the more experienced rivermen will enter this race for which there will be the regular prizes. Only flat-bottomed boats may be entered in this event.
