16 MUCH INTEREST BEING SHOWN IN RIVERCARNIVAL rubs For Humorous Specta cle Placed in Water For Practice Spin Just a hint of what Kipona, the big Labor Day celebration, will bo Hke, was given the thousands of Harrisburgers who thronged River Park yesterday. Bathers turned the river basin into a veritable At lantic City. From McCormlck's Island to the dam at South Harrisburg, the river was dotted with bathers and canoe ists while speedy little motorboals dashed here and there bearing members of the Kipona committee to arouse enthusiasm in the vari ous aquatic sports that will go to make Kipona an unforgettable cele bration to thousands. Little effort is required to awaken interest because already there are more entries to the various swim ming contests and boating events than there has ever before been in any water celebration. iQtjairman Ira Kindler, of the canoe commit tee, declares Harrisburg canoeists will do their share towards making this year's Kipona one of the big- i gest celebrations ever held in the State. Some exciting races are pre dicted and various contestants are training hard. A touch of humor was added to yesterday's frolic by a score or moro boys who were practicing the tub race off Reist's boathouse, foot of South street. The committee has placed a supply of washtubs hero and anyone desiring a trial spin in the first craft known may obtain one for practice. The first tryout for members of the Tech war canoe team will be held at Reist's boathouse late this afternoon with Dick Rauch and Ellwood Mell, captain of the vic torious Tech team in 1916, us coaches. Members of the Kiwanis. Rotary and Chamber of Commerce teams will get busy training this week and a spectacular race Is promised wilh some of the city's businessmen as members of the competing teams. The executive committee in charge of the big celebration will meet at the Park Department of fices to-morrow evening to add final details to plans for the big celebra tion. Local Institute Men to Attend Convention Delegates were elected to represent local chapter, American Institute of Banking, at New Orleans, October 7, 8 and 9. Harrisburg chapter having an enrolled membership of sixty nine is entitled to four delegates. They are: D. C. Becker, A. S. Ban miller, R. I. Diehl and F. M. Gilbert.

MONDAY EVENING, GREAT GUN MOUNTS MADE IN THIS CITY Harrisburg Boiler and Manufacturing Company Played Big Part in Difficult Task; Much Special Equipment Was Installed For New Work In telling how the Philadelphia district produced two billion dollars' worth of war materials within a re markably short space of time, the Philadelphia Press to-day gives con siderable space to the work of the Harrisburg Manufacturing and Boiler Company. The Press says in part: The Harrisburg Manufacturing & Boiler Co., of Harrisburg, was se lected to build twenty-five eight-inch railway mounts for overseas service and six for seacoast use in this country. This company, with addi tion of some necessary facilities, was equipped and capable of handling this'class of work. They had been in the boiler and heavy pipe business for a long time, and had a plate and fabricating shop that would meet the requirements. Their machine shop had handled such type work, as they were accustomed to building Francis turbines and the well-known Pelton water wheels. One of their interest ing contracts was the construction of several Pelton water wheels, seventy-seven inches in diameter, to gether with equipment, for the Pan ama Canal. These were used at sev eral points along the canal to gen erate power by utilization of the ex cess water. As to finer and closer work, the Harrisburg Manufacturing & Boiler Co., had been building a number of large four-wheel drive trucks and tractors for agricultural and road use. These tractors had taken second place in the noted Rock Island tests, which were con ducted for the purpose of deter mining the best tractors for hauling heavy artillery. They had received an excellent recommendation from the judges present, yielding first place, however, to the crawler or tank type machine, which proved superior under muddy conditions, and whose performance in France was later justified. 8-Inch Barbette Railway Mount Returning to the discussion of the eight-inch railway mount, the Ord nance Department contracted in uctober, 1017, with the Harrisburg Manufacturing & Boiler Co., to con struct these mounts. The company immediately took steps to obtain necessary special equipment, and started to design the jigs and fixtures required to make the work interchangeable, especially as the close tolerances of artillery mount work require exactness. The eight-inch railway mounts fire a projectile weighing about 275 pounds and have a range of from eight to ten miles. In service each two eight-inch railway mounts have four ammunition cars, one fire con trol car and four supply cars, mak ing up a complete battery train. The Harrisburg Manufacturing & Boiler completed twenty (20) of these units, and are now going to finish the remainder for use in seacoast de fense. The French 1 couplers on the cars are being changed to the stand ard M. C. B. couplers in use in this country. Tlie 305 NISI Railway Mount In addition to the eight-inch rail way mount program the Ordnance Department determined to build a number of 305 MM railway mounts similar to those manufactured by Schneider & Company, of France. The Harrisburg company were in structed to build thirty-six of these mounts, and the plans for them were loaned by Schneider & Com pany to the Ordnance Department of the Army. These railway mounts were uni que in that no traversing mechan ism is used. In order to fire the gun in a given direction the gun car is run on a curved track until the axis of the gun points in the proper direction. The Harrisburg company fabri cated and machined thirty-six of these mounts. Difficulty was experienced in ob taining the huge side plates, and it was necessary to cut them in half, welding and riveting the two sec tions together. Immense Railway Cars These gun cars are ninety feet In length and ride on two twelve wheeled standard gauge trucks. The front trucks arc provided with translating mechanism for use in moving the car a short distance up on the track. The rear trucks are equipped with a pair of oak shoes which can be raised or lowered by means of screw jacks. The total dead load on each truck is approxi mately 180,000 pounds. The maximum angle of elevation is thirty-eight degrees, the loaded projectile fired weighs about 1,000 pounds and the mount has a range of fourteen to eighteen miles. The engineering division of the Army Ordnance Department car ried on a number of experiences on the 3.3-inch mobile gun mounted on wheels. Under the supervision of the Ordnance Department the Har risburg company built four of these mounts, with various types of split trail and traversing mechanism. The Ordnance Department, after experiencing trouble in the move ment of heavy mobile artillery over the bad roads and miry fields at the front in France, decided to mount some of the larger guns, the 155- mm. and 8-inch upon tractors. This decision was made in the fait of 1918. and the Harrisburg Manufac turing and Boiler Company was called upon to build fifty of these caterpillar mounts. Several experi mental mounts had been complet ed and had proved very efficient over ragged roads and miry and muddy fields. An interesting incident oc curred at Aberdeen, Md., when one of these mounts, carrying an 8-inch howitzer, was steered accidentally into an 11-inch tree, knocking it down and running over it. The Harrisburg company did not complete this order, as after the signing of the armistice, the Ordn ance Department decided to assem ble these mounts at the Rock Isl i and Arsenal, the department having adopted the policy, wherever prac tical, of using the facilities of their arsenals on contracts which they are planning to complete. The ord nance Department is planning to complete these mounts, as their use fulness has been estabiished. Gun Firing I*lu loons The impossibility of keeping guns in position on muddy fields in France caused the Ordnance De partment to consider the construc tion of firing platforms on which to mount the mobile artilley. In or .der to prove effective it was also' necessary to so construct the firing platforms that they could be un bolted and transported with a bat tery. The department therefore design ed a carrying wagon which could be drawn with the other units of a bat tery. These platforms were built of 2.14-inch square oak beams bolted together to form a V. The bottom of the V was closed by a rounded member of oak against which the trail of the s"or 6-inch gun could recoil on firing. The front of the V carried a larger plate with curved angles on top, on top of which the wheels of the mobile carriage could be mounted and turned. The whole was bolted and fastened together with rods and turnbacks and could be unbolted and slung under a two wheeled wagon for transportation. It was necessary to cut standing timber to build these platform, as the demand for heavy lumber in ship building and other lines at the time made obtaining the largo size im possible. The Harrisburpr Company built 157 of these firing platforms. Additional spare parts and reserves were un der construction, but were cancelled after the signing of the armistice. 24-Hour Day For New Work In order to meet the demands of the Government in constructing the above artillery, tractors and firing platforms, it was necessary to make several additions to the plant. The. labor was doubled, and from Septem ber, 1917, until the signing of the armistice the plant was put on a 24- hour a day basis. The Harrisburg Manufacturing and Boiler Company have stiil to com plete eight of theeight-inch bar bette railway mounts which the Ord nance Department will use for sea coast defense. The company Is planning to pet back on a eotrimercial basis on their Pel ton water wheels, although the bulk of this work was transferred in war-time to the allied company, the Pel ton Water Wheel Company, of San I* ranclsco, who had to enlarge the Western plant to handle the busi ness. The Harrisburg company has start ed to manufacture the well-known one and one-half, two, three and one half and five ton Hurlburt trucks Several months ago they entered in to a consolidation of interest with Hurlburt Motor Truck Company, now Hurlburt Motor Truck Company, Inc., of New York, whose trucks have ac quired an enviable reputation for performance. The Harrisburg com pany Is taking over the entire man ufacturing end and will produce trucks in quantity. A service sta tion is now being added to the pres ent plant, so that dealers and owners in Pennsylvania and vicinity will ob tain the advantages of a nearby plant and service. The growth of the Hurlburt truck has been up to date a record a pro gress and the experience and per formance of the Harrisburg company, ably verified by their work for Uncle Sam, should bring them success in the manufacturing of trucks. The big Harrisburg concern is well past the experimental stage in the construction of farm tractors. As a result of several years' experiment ing they are now building a number of crawler type, medium sized farm tractors, and shortly will be heard from in the production of tractors in quantity. This company has had a great deal of experience in the man ufacturing of tractors of the round wheel types in both the two and four-wheel drive, and during tile past four years have filed a lot of data on the desirability of wheel or crawl er type, and after practical tests of machines for military and agricul tural purposes, have unanimously de cided upon the crawler type. This is but anbther one of the ex amples where the effect of adopting a certain type of machine for war purposes is having a marked effect upon the future manufacture. The Ordnance Department has highly commended this company for serving its commercial relations and undertaking and completing In a de sirable manner contracts assigned to it as its part of the production of ordnance. tritz may not have known any thing about this particular manu facturing concern, but word of the arrival in France of their products somehow reached the Hun trenches, and doubtless had a great dal to do with the fast fading morale of the much vaunted Germany army Presented With a Gold Watch After 50 Years of Service at One Plant Christopher Barnet, of Middle town, holds a unique record as an iron moulder. He served fifty years in one plant and is still hale and hearty at the age of 68 years. He Is now with Wincroft Stove Works and was presented with a gold watch by the management. The inscriptions o n the watch tell of this man's wonderful record. The company started to operate at Middletown in >856, succeeding the Haymond and Campbell Manufac turing Company. It is an institu tion made up of employes of whom 50 per cent, are what the world terms old men. Besides Barnet, some of the other records for lorfg serv ice are: Frank Bailey, 4 8 years; George Wallower. 40 years: Amos Huntzburgcr. 40 years, and, John Simmerman. 43 years. The men who have worked 25 to 3 5 years are too numerous to mention. Tn many instances father and grown sons work side by side. Barnet entered the employ of the company in August. 1869, served a four-year hpprenticeshlp and has continued since. According to E. M. Colquhoun, vice-president and general manager, the employment is hard hut very healthful. The old men who work for him, he says, are stronger than the average men of young or middle age, and have no difficulty in handling pots of hot metal weighing 60 pounds and more. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad. BAKRISBUHG *£££& TELEGIOtPH READING GREETS HFR VETERA IMS v M. M.A. , Senator Penrose Among the Speakers at Big Event; Ox Roast For the Boys Heading, Aug. 25. Over 20,000 Reading and Berks coun ty gath<js2d at the .fair grounds Sat urday afternoon for a monster re ception to city and county soldiers, at least 5,000 of whom were pres ent. It was "open house" to these World War heroes on the greatest scale ever attempted here. An ox roast dinner was served as the con clusion to an afternoon of events of great variety. Senator Penrose arrived at noon and delivered an address in which hfe paid tribute to the patriotism of Reading and Berks county. Senator Penrose referred to the patriotism of General Peter Muh lemberg, the fighting minister who in Revolutionary War days threw off his cloak in the pulpit of his Virginia church, declaring there was a time to preach and pray and a time to fight and that this was the I time to fight. A descendant of Gen eral Muhlenberg was among the Berks county heroes on whom the distinguished service medal was con ferred. Colonel Kemper Gives Medals Colonel J. B. Kemper, of Har risburg recruiting district, made the presentation addresses awarding medals to the great soldier heroes. They are Captain Frederick A. Muh lenberg, French Legion of Honor; Private Willis P. Snyder, French Croix de Guerre and D. S. C. f and Private Raymond J. Rauenzahn, Italian Croce de Guerre. ■ There was a program of six con tinuous hours of entertainment, feasting and thanksgiving. The af ternoon and early evening were spent in an unending chain of events, starting with the opening musical number by a forty-two piece band at 2 o'clock. Secretary Eric Fisher Wood, of the American Legion, and R. D. Taylor, an expert on war risk in surance, made addresses. Three heats of horse racing in harness events opened the program. A two-mile running race by Y. M. C. A. youths was the second event. A handicap bicycle race followed, with three boxing bouts by Reading battlers as the next number. Three acts of vaudeville, follow ed by a number of Mason's cake walkers closed (he entertainment. The vaudeville acts included jug glers, a singing and dancing sketch and acrobats. Several thousand soldiers were fed at the big dinner beneath the grandstand. Three long parallel tables were arranged beneath the structure. The veterans ate to their hearts content, and then filed out to one end of the grandstand, where ice cream, cake and cigarets were served at booths. A tableau, representing every na tion on the side of the Allies, took place simultaneously with the pre sentation of the Allied decorations at a special stand. Girls garbed to represent each Allied nation, or forty-eight in all. formed a back ground to the participants in the decorations. Red Cross nurses were grouped around the center, with the band on one side in the foreground and soldiers on the other. Standing of the Crews IIAItHISIU RG SIDE Philadelphia Division.

A note from the teacher by whom such tutoring has been done will be necessary for admission to these examinations. "To these examinations will be admitted, also, all such pupils as have moved into the city during vacation, whose grade in the school last attended would seem to render them eligible to any year in the Junior High schools, as well as those outside the city limits who are seeking admission to the ninth year. (By recent action of the School Board non-resident pu pils of the seventh and eighth grades may not be admitted to the Junior High schools. If admitted to the schools of the city they may attend only the regular schools of these grades in the central section of the city.) "Pupils enrolled In the Fresh man classes of the High schools last year who failed of promotion should report also to the Junior High principals at the time and place ind Heated (Stevens building, August 27 and 28), to make the necessary arrangements for satis factorily assignment.
