ELECTION PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the Council of the Citv
of Harrisburg, by ordinance No. 129.
session of 1918-1919, duly passed and
signed by the Mayor of said citv on
August 25, 1919, signified the desire
of the corporate authorities of said
city to use the sum of three hundred
thousand dollars ($300,000), authoriz
ed by the electors at an election held
November 2. 1915, to be borrowed for
the construction of a bridge, with the
necessary approaches thereto, on the
Jine of Walnut street, from a point
at or about the western line of the
right of way of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to a point at or
about the intersection of Twelth and
Walnut streets, and the consequential
damages resulting therefrom, for the
purpose of making a payment to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to
ward the cost of the construction of
the SolcHers' and Sailors' Memorial
bridge at State street, and its ap
proaches, authorized by act No. 420,
of the General Assembly of Pennsyl
vania, approved July IS. 1919; author
ized the submission of the question of
such use to a vote of the qualified
electors of the city; and fixed the
time for the holding of an election
for that purpose; therefore.
NOTICE is hereby given that an
election will be held, at the time and
places for holding the general muni
cipal election in the City of Harris
burg. on Tuesday, the 4tn day of No-
I vember, 1919, between the hours of
7 o'clock a. m. and 7 o'clock p. ni.,
for the purpose of obtaining the as
sent of the electors to such use of
the money so authorized to be bor
rowed as aforesaid.
The amount of money theretofore
borrowed or authorized to be borrow
ed Is thiee hundred thousand dollars
($300,000).
The purpose fof which such money
was originally authorized was the
construction of a bridge, with the
necessary approaches thereto, on the
line of Walnut street, from a point
at or about the western line of the
right of way of the Pennsylvania.
Railroad Company to a point at or
about the Intersection of Twelfth and
Walnut streets, and the consequential
damages resulting therefrom.
The reason why said money may
not he used for the purpose for which
it was borrowed or authorized to be
borrowed Is that the purpose has
proven to be impracticable and im
possible because the said sum of three
hundred thousand dollars ($300,006)
is now inadequate, by reason of large
increases in the price of labor and
materials, to pay the cost of the pro
posed structure, aside from the cer
tain consequential damages incident
thereto: and. further, because the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by
act No. 420 of the General Assembly
of Pennsylvania, approved July 18.
1919, has authorized the erection and
construction, as a memorial to the
citizens of this Commonwealth who
served In the military and naval
forces of the United States in the late
world war a Soldiers' and Sailors'
Memorial Bridge, with memorial py
lons at the western end thereof, and
with the necessary approaches, from
a point on what Is now State street.
In the Capitol Park, In the City of
Harrisburg. following the line of
State street across the tracks of the
Pennsylvania railroad to a point at
or near Thirteenth street, in said city,
which bridge, as designed, will be
much more elaborate, spacious and
convenient than the proposed Walnut
street bridge, and will serve the con
venience of a far greater part of the
public than the proposed Walnut
street bridge, including those who
would have been most advantaged by
the proposed Walnut street bridge
as the proposed Memorial Bridge
will be about four hundred feet north
of the proposed Walnut street bridge
and practically parallel therewith
and will have approaches running to'
or near Walnut street: and the cor
porate authorities of the city desire
to co-operate with the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania by the payment of
said sum of three hundred thousand
dollars toward the cost of the con
struction of this lasting tribute to the
valor of Its sons In the late world
war, and Incidentally secure the con
struction of a bridge in every respect
excelling the proposed Walnut street
bridge. „ .. ,
The new purpose for which the cor
porate authorities desire to use said
money borrowed or authorized to be
borrowed is for making a payment to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
toward the cost of the construction
ot the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial
Bridge at State street, and its ap
proaches, authorized by act No. 420
of the General Assembly of Pennsyl
vania. approved JulY 18. 1919.

Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss
Here Is the romance of a huckle
berry plant, a thousand years old and
eight acres big.
Besides Its age and size, this remark
able plant has for a special attraction
the fact that it is the largest of the only
two specimens of its species—the wild
box huckleberry—now known to be in
existence. • ,
This I state on the authority of Fred
erick V. Covllle, the botanist, who avers
that the least that American natural
ists can do for this "charming little
thousand-year-old lady of the forest,"
in return for what she has done for
them, Is to try to keep her living for
ever. Her home is on the westward
slope of a timbered hill in Perry
County, Pennsylvania.
A thousand years seems to be an
underestimate of the real age of this
horizon-seeking plant, whose pleasure is
found not In toweHng each century a
little nearer the sky, like the giant
Sequoia, but in hugging close to the
soil, and stretching farther and farther
toward the receding and deceptive edges
of the world.
Mr. Coville estimates that not less
than 1.200 years must have elapsed
since the baby plant began to expand
from its cradle-point like a wave on
water. Give it time enough, and take
away obstacles, and this wonderful in
dividual might be pictured as embrac
ing the continent. Its light blue ber
ries are as bright and its dark green
leaves as relucent at the circumference
as at the center.
Age doth not wither it. nor distance
weary its unending youth. At every
step it renews its strength. It gives
birth to no seedlings. After the most
painstaking search. Mr. Coville found
not one. Its environment invites it to
perpetuate its kind in the ordinary way.
but its individual nature forbids. It
would rather fill the world with its
own personal self than with its off
spring. It produces seeds, but they are
sterile, or at best of exceedingly feeble
germinating power, and it does not
respond to self-pollination.
We And exemplifications 0 f the prin
ciple of this all-grasping, self-centered
life in the social, political, and indus
trial worlds. Examples will occur to
everybody. Carried to the extreme the
principle would cover a planet with a
single Inhabitant, a Briareus, whose
arms would reach round the globe and
come back to loop up with their own
shoulders. In this view that creeping
"little old lady of the forest" induces
a shudder, for monstrosity is a quality
not of multitude but of over-size.
If that same eight-acre patch were
covered by thousands of intermingled
huckleberry plants, each having its own
independent rootstock, there would be
no suggestion of uncanniness. but when
you find that it is all one single plant
you cannot regard it without a start
and a tingle of the nerves, buhind which
even a kind of fear may lurk.
The orator can face without trepida
tion a thousand pairs of eyes, for he
knows that their power does not sur
pass that of the strongest individual
brain behind them; but put all those
eyes into a single gigantic head—and
then!
Notwithstanding the facts that this
strange huckleberry plant in Pennsyl
vania produces no offspring and that,
with a single exception, it is the only
wild plant of its kind that has been
found now living, efforts are being
made, with some promise of success,
to perpetuate the species by cross-fer
tilization.
For this purpose Mr. Coville has
hunted up the other of the two living
wild box huckleberry plants and has
found it. or rediscovered it, near Candy,
Delaware. Its existence had long be
fore been known, but afterward its
precise location was forgotten. It re
quired considerable detective skill, based
upon special scientific knowledge a
hunt something like that of a skilful
prospector for a lost mine—to run down
the plant. When found it proved to be
relatively small, covering an area only
twenty feet square.
I-ike its greater sister it lives to
itself alone, producing no seedlings.
But by cross-pollination of the flowers
of the two plants they now have off
spring in Washington, which may in
definitely perpetuate the race.
Only five localities have ever been
known in which this plant grew, and,
as already said, but two of these re
main. Mr. Coville thinks that the
species was killed by some fungus or
insect, and that the two existing plants
have grown from chance seeds scat
tered by birds. At least seventy-three
years ago Spencer F. Baird discovered
the old lady in Pennsylvania, and
thrilled Asa Gray with an account of
the plant. But it does not appear
that he suspected that it was a single
individual.
PROCEEDINGS WITHDRAWN
The habeas corpus action brought
by Michael Barbush to secure the cus
tody of his two sons and one daught
er, was withdrawn it was announced
in court to-day. it was explained
that Mr. Barbush had arranged with
James T. Walters, county detective
to hold a truat fund of S6OO, each of
his three children to receive S2OO
when they become of age.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
"Man always wants what he has
not; when lt'B oold he wants it hot."
If this were not so my dally bundle
of mall would probably diminish to
the vanishing point.
Most of the men and women sad
boys and glrlß who write me do not
deny that they have distinct advant
ages and compensations of one kind
or another; but—And then they go
on to tell me about that one seem
ingly unattainable thing on which
their hearts are set and the lack of
which poisons their whole cup of hap
piness.
Here Is a very typical letter of the
sort:
"Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I am a
reader of your articles, and feeling
that many girls must have been great
ly helped by your excellent advice, I
am asking your consideration of my
own problem.
"I am only eighteen years old, but
am employed as bookkeeper by a very
large concern. The position is a re
sponsible one, and consequently I can
not help feeling that I have made a *
success in the business, or rather "of
liee," world.
"Yet, although my ability and the
character of my work Is realised and
appreciated. I am very unhappy at
times because I am a total Stxdal
failure.
"Tho trouble Is, 1 am very baitii
ful. It is hard for me to greet peo
ple, even though I have met them
several times; and as a result I am
sure that many persons think me
'stuck-up', while the truth is that I
feel inferior to them.
"It seems almost Impossible for me
to commence or carry on an ordinary
conversation; and yet, as a dally
reader of the newspapers I am well
informed on current events, and I also
try to keep In touch with the sub
jects discussed In books and periodi
cals. But when I am called upon to
talk I have nothing 10 say.
"If there Is anything you can sug
gest that will overcome this feeling
of diffidence, you will Indued add to
my happiness, and, I am sure, benefit
many other girls who suffer in the
same way.
••a. r." •
She Is eighteen and has made good
in a "responsible position." Appar
ently she enjoys the career she has
chosen. She is free and independent,
her own mistress, capable of earn
ing her own living and asking no
odds of anyone.
Doesn't she know that many a
social favorite, many a petted de
butante whose name Is double-starred
upon the society page, many of the
girls she envies who can chatter away
six-10-a-dozen and who are always the
center of admiring groups, would give
all they possess for her feeling of free
dom Hnd sense of capability.
Why should she feel inferior to
them, a regular "stick" In company,
always at a loss for something to
say, although she is well-informed and
intelligent.
Because—and I deduce this from
her letter—-she Is neglecting a very
marked social talent which she pos
sesses, and instead Is trying to adapt
herself to another sort of talent which
docs not belong to her at all.
Man is naturally a gregarious ani
mal. He loves to flock with his kind.
And this is especially true of the
young; they are seldom happy when
alone. It is a normal instinct with
us to seek the society of others, and
in that association we want to "hold
up our end."
But for this companionship and
commingling we are giveii. as St.
Paul said of the early Christian
Church, diverse gifts.
Some are witty, some profound,
some are musical, some tell a good
story; some are merely "agreeable rat
tles." But rarest of all are those
who listen well.
Few of us really care to hear any
one talk except ourselves. If you
watch people at conversation you will
see that most of them are simply
waiting for the chance to break In
and air their own opinions and ac
complishments. To find an auditor
who will give one his actual interest
and undivided attention is like water
in the desert. The silences of such a
person are unnoted; he is regarded as
the most delightful and sympathetic
of companions.
And the girl who writes me evi
dently has this quality. The fact that
she has made good In the position she
holds shows that she is able to listen
anil concentrate upon what is told her.
Why, then, does she not apply to
her social world the same methods
that she has successfully tried out in
her business career? If she would
quit laboring to take a part in the
conversation forget herself entirely
and cultivate an interest in others
by seeking to gain instruction or
amusement- in what they are saying,
drawing them out by her obvious ap
preciation and intelligent questions,
she would soon find that she would
lack neither friends nor popularity.
And then some day, when she is
absorbed in some especially interest
ing discussion, she will suddenly find
her sealed lips unlocked and herself
talking away with a freedom and force
that will surprise her
