.PLANS FOR BOOK
WEEK COMPLETE
Book Stores to Co-Operate
With Public Library Week
of November 11-17
Miss Alice R. Eaton, librarian of
the Harrisburg Public Library, said
this morning that plans were practi
cally complete for the children's
book week, which is to be observed
the week of November 11-17. The
week is to be nationally observed.
Here in Harrisburg all of the city
book stores will co-operate with the
Public Library in an effort to show
the children and their parents what
books are the best to read. In the
windows will be special displays of
the children's books seleclea by Miss
Eaton and her assistants, who will
go to the large stores to act as in
terpreters, and tell the parents what
reading matter to buy for their chil
dren.
"Too much of the reading matter
given to children nowadays is ab
solutely worthless," said Miss Eaton,
"and it is just i s easy to give them

TUESDAY EVENING,
books which aio even rnoro inter
esting and will do them untold good,
in shaping their cahracturs and
| ideals. It is our intention- here in
| the library to show Harrisburg'c
I older people during this children's
i book week the sort of books they
i ought to get for their children. I
think it is a splendid idea and the
I very fact that it is to be nationally
observed should interest Harrisburg
! in the proposition."
Aepublic oi Georgia
Will Control the
Manganese Output
Tiflis, Oct. 28. —The Constituent
Assembly of the new republic ofj
Georgia, sitting as a parliament, has j
declared the output of manganese to '
be a government monopoly. Private j
j concerns may not hold .and mine thej
! mineral, but the sale shall be made j
| solely through the government treas
j ttr.v. This is declared to be the most
] important financial step which the i
, republic has made,
j The assembly has levied hew i
| taxes upon small tradesmen which i
has caused indignation. A porter is |
|to pay 500 rubles; a bootblack j
1,600 rubles; a flower booth 2.501 L
i rubles; a fish market 2 10,000 rubles; .
j a wine store $1,000,000 rubles. '
Merchants declare that tlie tax is j
prohibitive and that they will refuse ;
j payment.

URGES CENSUS
OF YOUNG MEN
Carlisle Draft Officer Would
Specialize on Their
Physical Defects
Now Orleans, Oct. 28.—Before the
j meeting of the Public Health Asso
! ciation here to-day. Col. Frank R.
j Keefer, the medical officer of the
| recent army draft at Carlisle, sug
; gested four steps improvement
:in conditions that caused so many
army rejections. They are:
First—The prevention and control
I of transmissible diseases,
j Second—A census of young men !
| with special reference to remediable
physical defects.
; Third—The development of an
I effective plan for the correction of;
! such remediable defects as may be!
! found.
Fourth—The creation and foster- ]
! ing of public sentiment, the shaping
i of legislation, the correction of do- 1
J fects and deficiencies within health >
I organizations.
i Col. Keefer also said that pver one I
| thin! of the men examined were un- ]
| available for military purposes be- j
i cause of physical defects. Physical j
! standards were lowered, and thou- ]
i sands of incompetents had to be j
segregated at each divisional camp. ]
• He claimed that SS per cent of the j
cases could be classified under a few |
! general beads. These cases were i
j largely correctible conditions.
Hoboes Face Hard
Winter; H. C. L. Makes
Their Game Bad|
New York. Oct. 28.—With rump j
steak l\overing around thirty-three '
I cents retail, with potatoes and on- I
j ions commajiding better than a '
quarter for six pounds and—worse '
still—with that beatific goddess of ]
the kitchen transformed by the high j
cost of living into a rabid watoltdog ]
of the pantry, the convention of the j
American Iloboes League, soon to I
lake place here, will doubtless pass !
on to its Committee on Commissary!
j and Subsistence the vexing problem i
I which thousands of knights of the j
i road will face during their tradition-
I al winter pilgrimage to the warmer
j climes of the sunny South.
No other art has suffered greater!
| deterioration through price manipu
! lation than that of kitchen panhand- I
: ling, and a wail is now going up !
j from a thousand "jungles" all over |
I the quiet land. Even the price of j
soap, which is occasionally used,
i though not encouraged, promises to
I make the American hobo look like
I a mud bedraggled soldier after a
long vigil in a cootie ridden trench.
This year's convention, in a sense,
will be memorable inasmuch as the
war has revolutionized the craft of
hoboing and many novel and start
ling suggestions as to how to live
and without work will be pre
sented scores of delegates, hail
ing from every section of the coun
try. "Jungle" philosophy likewise
has undergone a great change and
the high cost of living has only I
served to rub a sore laid open when '
the hand of industry during the war '
■ reached into box cars, down into the j
i trucks "underneath/' combed the '■
! "blind baggage" and pawed over the ;
| roofs of sleepers and day coaches |
j of ten thousand trains.
Sunday Observed
Three Times a Week
in Sarajevo, Bosnia
i Sarajevo. Bosnia, Oct. 28. —Sun--
! day is observed three time a week j
I here.
Because there are 35,000 Turks in
! the city, Friday is the first Sunday.!
i Then all the Turkish stores close and j
i one goes twice a day to some of the
| hundred mosques whose slender |
j minarets gleam white against th< ;
! green background of the hills.
Because two hundred years ago a j
| group of Spanish Jews settled in'
Bosnia, Saturday is Sunday for many!
[Sarajevans. Then the Jewish stores;
I are closed and the Jews of the city!
crowd the big yellow synagogus of j
'the main street.
Because all the rest of the 54,000
inhabitants of Sarajevo and hun-l
! dreds of peasants from the hills j
around are Serbs and Bosnians, fol-'
; lowing both the Roman Catholic and j
j the Greek Orthodox belief, the!
; Sunday Snbbath is the biggest holy
day of oil in Sarajevo. All the stores
! except the Turkish are closed. The'
churches are crowded with people j
i dressed in every style front the latest j
| Be'grade fashions to home-spun
! trousers for both men and women,
with huge headed shoes and woolen '
turbans. After that modern Sara-'
! jevo walks about the modern quar
ters and old-fashioned Sarajevo 1
dances the "Kojo" in the big square
of the crowded Turkish bazar.
Will Wage War on
Soviet Sunday Schools
New York, Oct. 2S, —As a protest]
against the "Soviet Sunday School."!
| a special campaign of religious edu-I
, cation will be launched by the j
I'hurehwoman's League for Patriotic!
Service, a woman's public service or- I
gnnization which has been formed!
'recently and is working with the!
; Nation-Wide Campaign of the Epis
copal Church.
Through an active committee, the]
; Churchwoman's league will wage'
aggressive warfare against the Sun-!
day Schools of Bolshevism, an insti
tution which the League considers ]
; "one of the greatest menaces of the i
] age." Public talks, moving pictures!
and other educational means will be'
used to spread the doctrine of j
; Christianity versus that of Bolshe- 1
: visrn.
Miss A. E. Warren, of New Yoik.'
long identified with the social service |
I work of St. Cyprian's parish, is the
; chairman of the national committee!
! which will undertake this campaign,
.and local committees are to be or-'
'ganized throughout the country as j
quickly as new branch organizations!
of the Churchwoman's League are'
] formed.
