MAJOR GRAY
TELLS OF COSTS
Declares Government SpenJ
$3,500,000 With Virtually
Nothing to Show For It
Washington, Oct. 13. Further
evidence of the way In which the
government's money was expended
by the Marlin Rockwell Loading
Company in the erection of a shell
loading establishment at Delaware
City, below Philadelphia, with a cost
of $3,500,000, with virtually nothing
to show for It, was given the House
lnvestigating expen
diture In the Ordnance Department
by Major Wfttiam R. Gray, of Har
risburg. Pa., who served In the con
struction division of the War Depart
ment throughout the war.
After describing in detail the con
stant and bitter struggle he had with
the company In his efforts to check
gross extravagance and protect the
government's interests. Major Gray
testified members of the company
came to Washington and procured
his recall about November 1, 1918.

BEADBAGS have attained a
place of honor this season and.
Indeed, they are deserving of
it, for never before have they beep
so lovely. All the exclusive shops
the country over are showing beau
tiful .examples of fashion's latest
favorite, but. alas, frequently at
prices prohibitive to the average
pocketbook. Just the same, every
woman can possess a beadbag at a
moderate cost by visiting The
French Shop, where materials for
making them are found. Numerous
lovely patterns and beads of every
color can be purchased for a most
reasonable sum and Milady may en
joy the fascinating privilege of
beading her owji bag in just the
shades she desires.
PARTIES, parties everywhere—particularly at the Penn-Harrisl And
why shouldn't they be? It's the most logical place to hold them. Its
numerous private parlors are particularly adapted to small dances and
semi-formal affairs and its ballroom leaves nothing to be desired as the
setting for the formal dance you've been planning to give. Then there's
the Japanese room —just made purposely for that luncheon in- compliment'
to your out-of-town guest. And last, but not least, come the grill and main
diningroom, where one can entertain at an informal dinner in just the
most delightful surroundings imaginable. In other words, no matter what
it be, from "tea for three" to dinner for fifty—give it at the Penn-Harris!
YOU can always, if you use a |
little commonsense in the mat- I
ter. Judge people pretty well by
the clothes they wear. Without a
doubt, the psychology of clothes is a
thing to be reckoned with in the
business world. Not only do others
judge us, more or less, by what we
wear, but we ourselves are in
fluenced by the matter. The feel
ing that we are properly clad gives
us a confidence and an air of assur
ance that is completely lacking un
der other circumstances, and for
that reason alone we should always
be carefully dressed. Business and
professional men feel that perfect
tailoring is an absolute essential, to
say nothing of correct style and su
perior quality. Perhaps that is why
so many of them go to McFall's for
their suits since the new clothing
department has opened. Isn't it
likely? I

Intimation of Nepotism
Major Gray was placed in charge
of the project for the government
'early In September. 1918; He Imme
diately encountered opposition from
a Mr; Russell, who had been general
manager of the company. Mr. Rus
set is a brother of the secretary to
Benedict Crowell, assistant secretary'
of war; He Just had been com
missioned In the Army;
The first thing Major Gray did
was to procure a force of police and
firemen consisting of government i
employes. Major Gray said the men
of the company had often got drunk
and some of them held up other em
ployes after they were paid off.
"I sent for a New York police In
spector," continued the major, "and
he identified several gunmen from
New York and Philadelphia and ar
rested some of them, taking some i
back to New York and turning oth
ers over to the Philadelphia po- |
ice.
"The company officials were hos
tile to every improvement I made
and every economy I Insisted on.
The feeling was BO strong I could
not have remained there without a
military force;' 1
Company Asks $OOO,OOO More
The Ordnance Department had
given to the company a "cost-plus
10 per cent." contract to buy arid
build and operate a shell-loading
plant. The company expended about
$3,500,000, including its commission,
but never got beyond a few frame
buildings of temporary construction,
the building of an eight-mile rail
way spur and partial repair of a
dike; The company has an un
settled claim against the govern
ment for almost $600,000.
The eight-mile railroad spur, said
Major Gray, who is a railway con
structor, cost the government $406,-
000, whereas it could have been
built easily for $lOO,OOO less,

OPEN SUNDAY
ONE of the very best reasons in
the world for attending the
matinee Is an attractive blouse
of green georgette crepe and ex
quisite black lace, such as the Cloos
Shop Is showing. Little Jet tassels
dangle coquettishly from the clever
collar efTect, and the green of the
front and back panels Is lavishly
brocaded in silver. Big silver roses
ramble at will over the soft georg
ette, lending a charm to the blouse
and making it most effective.
JUST as it takes all kinds of peo
ple to make the world, so does it
take all kinds of mirrors to fill
the needs of the average home.
There's the mirror above the mantel,
the table mirror and the mirror over
the buffet, to say nothing of the
hall mirror and the full-length mir
ror in the boudoir. That they are
essentials, we all admit; but the dif
ficulty lies in procuring them in the
proper style and size. I know of
one place, however, where one can
have any type of mirror made, of
any kind of wood, in any size de
sired. In every case the glass used
is highly-polished French plate and
the workmanship is perfect. For
further details, I advise you to speak
!to Mr. Saltzgiver at his Art and
! Antique Store, 223 North Second
I street.

organized existence.
Matters of the greatest Import
ance to the former service men and

vention. A number of important
resolutions for presentation were
adopted at the State convention and
the national meeting at which the
American Legion will be officially
created under the recent charter
granted to It by the Congress of the
United States gives every Indica
tion of being a remarkable gather
ing.
"Policies and not politics" has been
Irrevocably adopted as the slogan
of the American Legion nationally
and In thin State. Governor William
C. Sproul In an address at the State
convention gave the organization his
unqualified Indorsement and de
clared that It would be a mighty po
tent factor In the affairs of the State

OPTOMETRYSTS OPEN
BIG CONVENTION HERE
[Continued from First Pnffo.l
IHB
H. H. ROSSKK,
Secretary
the latest developments In optical
goods, instruments and new meth
j ods. Both from the standpoint of
j displays and delegates, Harrlsburg's
| convention for which every local op
i temetrist worked so earnestly and
I so hard, promises to outdo some of
the national conventions of the past
ten years. The addresses during the
convention will bo made by men of
national reputation, and promise to
be most interesting.
To Show Pictures
Last night at 8 o'clock those op
tometrists who had already assembled
met In the assembly room on the sec.
ond floor of the Pcnn-Harris and in
formally discussed optometry in its
various aspects and phases. There
were informal uddresses by many of
| the delegates.
To-night a motion picture which at
tracted so much attention at the Na
tional convention some time ago, will
be shown. This motion picture is ed
ucatonal, and is called "Through
Life's Window." The title explains
the subject matter, and from all indi
cations there will be a large number
of the delegates present to witness
The showing of the fllm. After this,
there will be an Informal smoker. It
will beat this smoker that many im
portant talks will be given. The
convention time was not long enough
to permit of many addresses being
given and to provide time for this,
the smoker was arranged. Fifteen
minute talks have been arranged by
E. L. Egolf, chairman of the lecture
committee and they promise to em
brace many points of interest in op
tometry. Two very important talks
arc scheduled which have to do with
the future of optometry, with the
very important work of acquainting
the public at large with the profes
son. These talks will be given by H.
H. Rosser, the State secretary and E.
G. Welssman. These talks will be
upon the motion picture program and
the advertising program respectively.
Important Addresses
During the afternoon two addresses
will be delivered. E. G. Welseman
Wll speak on "Blood Pressure," and
Joseph Hagerty will speak on "A
Plea for Exclusive Optometry." This
evening, starting at 7 o'clock, there
will be a lecture by Dr. Howard D.
Minchin, professor of applied optics

| Don't "Doctor" Your
Eyes
Don't "doctor" your eyas with
j drugs—Don't "dope" them your

! so, unless there is distinctively a
diseased condition. If you have,
I or suspect that you have, any eye
j trouble, the quickest and least ex
pensive way to find out the truth
about the matter is to consult a
■ reputable optometrist, who is
I trained professionally aa well as
qualified by constant experience
to determine the cause of any de
fect in vision. It is only in rare
cases that medical treatment is
, actually required, and when it is,
the optometrist will refer you to

necessary will co-operate with
him.
