The announcement from Lancas
ter, linked with a statement from
officers of the Liberty Aero Service
Corporation, which is establishing
a field at Dauphin, that they intend
to offer the use of their grounds to
the Lancaster Aero Olub. is makinC
, local boosters fear that Dauphin :>■
going to snatch flying field honorr
away from them.
Ginnl Substitute
The Liberty Aero officials point
out that Dauphin and Harrisburg
are only fifteen minutes apart by
automobile, which is considerably
loss than the distance from the
Philadelphia field into the city, or
a majority of others in the coun
try. and that for the present the
Dauphin field will mak" a good sub
stitute for a municipal flying
grounds.
The Liberty Aero Corporation is
a recently-organized enterprise, fos
tered by Harrisburg men and. in
addition to operating passenger and
■ xpress planes to points in the east
t rn part of the country, will estab
•sh a school for aeronautical in
struction, in which students will be

Eastern Siberia and investigating j
the case, to determine what further
steps may be necessary.
The movement of the troops of j

CITY URGED TO TAKE
ENTIRE RIVER FRONT
[Continued from First Page. 1
W'. Botts at the piano and C. Linford •
' Scott leading the singing. Admiral
Bowman presided and members of
: the executive committee, Vice-Ad
miruls and others occupied places
at the speakers' table.
[ Admiral Bowman asked for a vote
1 of thanks for the decorations and
the appreciation of the guests was
expressed by a standing vote. Mr.
Bowman spoke of the difficult work
of the Kipona executive committee
of the past yeur and of the wonder
ful success that hud attained their
el forts. He presented Mr. Tracy,
who said that he had been respons
ible for making Mr. Bowman Ad
miral. He said that he had con
ferred this title upon Mr. Bowman
who at the time was merely presi
dent of the Navy and the name had
stuck. The speaker outlined the
river improvements that had come
under his eye as a member of the
Board of Public Works at the time
the dam was erected and the "front
steps" constructed. He said that he
had been interested in the river and
its development and that he hoped
to see such improvements made as
the beauty of the Susquehanna basin
here deserves. He spoke of the
Labor Day Kipona in high terms,
but said it is merely the forerunner
of greater things to come. He
praised the Navy and its members
for the excellent work tiey have
performed and urged them to fur
ther efforts along this line. At this
junction Admiral Bowman read a
telegram from Mayor Keister who .
was unable to be present. He intro- j
[ duced Park Commissioner E. Z. |
Gross, who in turn presented War- i
ren H. Manning, the park expert, ,
who is in Harrisburg to go over .
the bathing beach project to come I
before the people in November. He !
referred to Mr. Manning as "a man j
! of a wizard eye who came to us
when we were lost in the woods" •
and showed us the way to make a j
| bigger and better city.
Manning's Suggestions
Mr. Manning said that he had i
j made a careful study of the whole I
j bathing beach proposition and that |
he is convinced the best place is
the lower point of Hargest Island
and the space between the Market
and Walnut street bridges. He said
that for the $40,000 contemplated
in the loan provision can be made
to care /or 5,000 bathers a day. He I
would erect concrete bathhouses of j
ornamental design in the form of i
closed arches with shower bath at j
either end. the center given over to j
dressing rooms with lockers for j
clothing and the top arranged for .
spectators. In front he would have
j a runway for the bathers leading
: down the steps which would extend
' into the water after the manner of
the front steps along the river. These
' bathhouses would be of concrete i
and so constructed that if the high j
. water at any time swept over them j
' they could be washed out with a j
i hose and be as good as ever. Mr. I
Manning advised that the present i
city nursery on Island Park be- J
' tween the bridges be removed as i
its days of usefulness are over, the •
larger and better of the trees left
standing and the whole transformed
' into a picnic grove which would
I lead down to the concrete bathing
houses. This it is understood the
| Park Commissioner has practically
i agreed to as being a desirable thing
< to do.
River Unsurpassed
; Mr. Manning said that the river
I front of Harrisburg is unsurpassed ;
in America, that no city has such j
! a set of front steps as we have here !
| and that no time should be lost in i
' acquiring outright the entire length
|of Hargest Island for recreation i
purposes. He said that as the city j
j grows north the same treatment can ;
I be accorded to McCormick's Island '
! and that the donor of this land did
I not fully realize what a wonderful
i thing he was doing for Harrisburg
I in presenting it with this island,
i Mr. Manning paid a high tribute
to the public spir.t of Harrisburg.
j He said the people have given their
i talent, their means, their energy,
I their money and their land without
| grudge. No city, he said, has ob-
I tained so much in the way of re
! creation places for so little money as
! Harrisburg. Of all memorials, Mr.
I Manning added, hind is the most
! permanent, buildings grow old and
, monuments decay, but land stands
! for all time as a tribute to the man
i who presented it to the municipality
for public uses.
Mr. Manning said that Harrisburg
' should own every island in the river, j
: even those that are now little more
! than grass patches, as in the future J
| they would serve as swimming i
places, recreation spots and camp- !
; ing sites He paid a high eompli- j
ment to the public spirit which en- j
j übled Harrisburg to stage such a 1
| spectacle as the Labor Day Kipona
I and he said it is possible for this city i
1 to develop in the Kipona as famous 1
! an event as the Mardi Gras of New
| Orleans and just as beautiful.
Mr. Manning said that he intends ;
! to make a study of the costs of mu- j
■ nicipally-operated boathouses as
! compared with those of George K
1 Reist, whose floating boathouses he '
| inspected yesterday, and those of A.
P. Dintaman, who was one of the j
boat house pinoneers of Harrisburg. :
Mr. Manning paid a compliment to I
the enterprise of these men and j
their wives who had stood sturdily J
by' them in the early days of their
operation. He said he intended to ;
' find out by the experiences which j
Mr. Reist and Mr. Dintaman are |
I conducting whether or not it is more j
| profitable to have a municipally- j
j owned boathouse or to have either !
floating boathouses or landhouses
! privately owned and controlled by
; the municipality.
Only tlic Beginning |
Mr. Manning concluded his re
marks by predicting that we have
just touched upon the possibilities j
of the city respect to its use of the |
Susquehanna basin and predicted I
that the time would come when j
there would be dozens upon dozens
of canoes and boats here where now
there is one. The next speaker was
E. J. Staokpole, vice-admiral of the
Navy, who endorsed all that Mr.

Manning had said, and added that
he was delighted with the prospect
of making the "old swimmin' hole"
a real thing for the men andd wom

When The Day Is Over
ing in life but
headache, backache and worry, turn to
the right prescription, one gotten up by
Dr. Pierce fifty years ago.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish
ing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his studies
was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription. This medicine is mado
of vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities,
pelvic inflammations, and for the many
disorders common to women ifi all age- f
life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prcscriptim i
made of lady's slipper root, black cohort
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root aud
Oregon grape root. Dr. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
jurious, and so he has always kept them
out of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are
getting a safe woman's tonic so good that
