NEWS OF STEELTON
Thomas Resigns to Take
Position Under Son
William Thomas, general foreman
In the steel foundry of the local
plant, has tendered his resignation
to take effect early in November.
He will leave for Wilkes-Barre to
take a position as general foreman
in the Vulcan Iron Company upder
his son, Richard W. Thomas, who is
assistant superintendent of the
plant.
Thomas entered the local steel
plant March 9, 189 a, and has filled
various positions since then, hut
never out of the local plant. 1 ,- or
fifteen years he was night foreman
in the steel foundry. His resignation
is thought to be the result of his
desire to be with his son, who but
recently was released from service
in the chemical warfare department.
HARRY I. DOWNS
Harry 1. Downs died suddenly at
his home, 321 Swatara street, yes
terday afternoon shortly before 5
o'clock. Death was attributed to
heart failure. He was apparently in
splendid health. He leaves his wife
and four children. He was employ
ed in the local plant as a boilermak
er. Funeral arrangements will be
announced later.
AND NOW BEER GOES
THE WAY OF WHISKY
The saloons of Steelton appear
rather odd with the removal of its
beer signs, the result of the prohibi
tion enforcement law. A number of
saloons are dispensing the one-half
of one per cent, stuff to such patrons
as can .be satisfied with that rather
doubtful beverage.

AMERICAN LEGION DANCE
DRAWS MONSTER CROWD
The public dance of the Andrew
Asking.Post, American Legion, held
last evening in Frey's Hall, was voted
a wonderful success. The hull was
crowded to the limit with prettily
dressed couples, most of them in
costumes. Music was furnished by
an excellent orchestra. This was the
first big affair given by the newly
formed colored post.
POISONED GIRLS BOUGHT TAGS
Edna Luikart pressed her ivose
against the window. It was in the
room she shared with her sister,
Shirley, in Columbus Hospital.
There was an eager look in her
eyes; she was peering down at the
street below.
"Oh, look at the lady," cried the
little girl recovering from bichloride
of mercury poisoning; "she bought
a new coat —an' she forgot to take
the price ticket off'n it."
The nurse hurried to the window.
She saw fluttering l'roin the coat of
a morning pedestrian the green tag
lof the Chicago Children's Benefit
I League. Men and women passed;
•they all proudly wore their tags on
icoat lapels and buttons. The nurse
Explained to Edna.
"They buy the tags." she said,
"to raise money for little girls and
boys. When it gets cold and
there's no bread and milk in the
house, the children are taken into
nice, warm homes. Isn't that
fine?"
"Oh, just fine!" cried Edna Lui
kart, who had just clambered out
of the canyon of death herself. "T
want to buy a tag, too, for hungry
little girls!"
Shirley Luikart sat up.
"Me, too! I want to buy a tag,"
she ealled to the nurse in her
squeaky little voice.

GRAPE JUICE'S
PROGRESS SLOW
With Dry Era it Becomes
Hope of Growers-
First Made in 18(59
Grape growers of the country are
wondering whether the popularity
of grape juice will Increase rapidly
enough to absorb the great surplus
left by the prohibition of the mak
ing of wine and prevent a great
slump in the market.
Of course a goodly part of the
surplus will be used by people mak
ing their own wihe at home. The
rest must go into grape juice or be
exported ugainst a product which
can be produced elsewhere more
cheaply than in the United States.
Slowly people are coming around
to grupe juice. Many still never use
it. Yet there has been a steady
growth in the use of the drink so
urgently put forward by William
Jennings Bryan.
Made First at Vineland
It was in 1869 that one of the
earliest attempts to popularize grape
juice was made. At Vineland, N. J.,
a man whose name still stands in the
grape juice world conceived the
idea of making unfermented wine,
which ha offered as a, substitute for
alcoholic wine in communion ser
vice.
He believed the grape juice would
become popular with both ministers
and physicians, but in this he was
disappointed. Instead, many of the
leading clergy of his day dubbed him
a religious fanatic, arguing that only
pure wine and no substitute would
be tolerated for communion service.
At the same time physicians called
him a medical crank, claiming that
unfermented wine would cause a lot
of trouble by fermenting in the
stomach.
Nevertheless he continued the
manufacture of grape juice, which
developed as a business very slowly,
for several years, when he trans
ferred all interests to his son, who
made every effort to popularize the
beverage, but progress was slow and
disappointing. But the son, being
full of pluck, kept on pegging away
as he felt sure that victory would
come some day.
In the early nineties the father,
having accumulated considerable
money, again took up the work with
the son and started an advertising
and selling campaign, and the turn
ing point seemed to be reached at
the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.
The business grew rapidly, and to
day four large factories, two in New
York, one in Pennsylvania and one
in Canada, are busy turning out the
product.
Crape Juice Without Sugar
The originator died in 1904 with
out having made any money, but he
left the world a rich legacy in point
ing out a new use for our native
grapes. The manufacture of fruit
juices is an out-growth of the can
ning and not of the wine industry.
The preserving of fruit consists in
saturating the fruit pulp with cane
sugar to a point where decay is pre
vented because of the large amount
of sugar. On the other hand, can
ning consists in destroying all of the
l'erment-forming organisms by a suf
ficient amount of heat. In the lat
ter case sugar may be used for
flavoring, but not for keeping qual
ity.
His first factory was the home
kitchen, and the storage building
was his barn. He used sugar to help
preserve the juice, but noticing that
sugar was apt to destroy much of
the delicate flavor and aroma of
the grape, he gradually reduced the
amount of sweetness, and developed
methods of perfect sterilization un
til finally he discovered that the
best grape juice is made from fully
matured and well grown Concord
grapes and without the use of sugar.
Tncrea.se in Factories
During the past nineteen years
many now grape juice companies
sprang up, located mainly in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan
and California. There were T65
companies in this country in 1914.
Grape buyers paid $lO a ton for
grapes in 1897, but the price gradu
ally increased until 1918, when they
paid $6 0. So with the increase In
manufacture of grape juice and. of
course, increased consumption, new
markets will spring up for the grape
and it is possible to still make the
production of that fruit profitable.

APPEAL FOR ONE
NO ACCIDENT DAY
Philadelphia Division Safety
Committee Shows Where
Some Fell Down
The Philadelphia division so
far has not had a clear day in
this "no accident" drive, and we
stand alone In this distinction on
the Eastern Pennsylvania divis
ion. All the others have come
across with at least one clear
day.
—Safety Committee.
If there is any doubt about the
Philadelphia division safety com
mittee not being on the job in the
"no accident" drive just glance at
the following." Here is an extra dis
cipline bulletin which was sent out
yesterday telling the men what the
Committee found during their daily
rounds:
Observing and promptly reporting
brake shoe dragging under passen
ger train; freight brakemen com
mended. "We are glad to mention
this commendation. It helps some
to know the boys are alert and on
the job."
Carelessness and inattention to
duty; 118 men disciplined. "Com
parisons are odious. —sure they are.
Look at this 82-66-72, and now our
record is 118. We don't appear to
give this question proper thought.
This going from bad to looks
as if we have a speciail license to do
as we please, and we please to be
careless."
Displaying markers improperly:
two men disciplined. "We called
your attention to this dangerous
practice just a few days ago. It's
bad business finding a red rear end
on a curve at nighfc even if it is on
the ajoining track."
Draft collisions; forty-one men
disciplined. "That's just twenty
four less than the last report. That's
a pretty good decrease. Keep up the
good work."
Improper flag protection: three
men disciplined. "This is such a
serious violation of rules. We are
surprised that men will knowingly
fall for it."
Shirking duty; five men disci
plined. "These men evidently do
not read the Discipline and Safety
Bulletin, or if they do, public opin
ion does not appeal to them."
Sleeping on duty; three men dis
ciplined. "If men will not take
proper rest at home they are surely
not in condition to work safely."
Over running stop signal; one
man disciplined. "Of course we do
not over run ' stop signals inten
tionally, yet the fact remains we do
get by them and sometimes with
disastrous results. Everlasting
watchfulnessis the price of safety.
New Signal System For
Pennsy Lebanon Branch
A force of men employed in the
signal department of the Philadel
phia division, Pennsylvania railroad
with headquarters at Middletown,
are engaged installing a complete
interlocking signal system at Alt.
Gretna. This will be a great con-:
venience in train movement there
in the future. The old method will
be abandoned. This system will
control tracks East and West, for
some distance.
Positions For Motor
Transport Instructors
The United States Civil Service
Commission has issued the following:
The United States Army is definite
ly launched in the field of vocational
training for the motor transport
corps. It has no option in the mat
ter. for men skilled in automotive
vehicle operation and repair do not
exist in anything like adequate num
bers for the requirements even of
civil life, and the war with Germany
has demonstrated that no matter how
gcod our Army may be in other re
spects, its efficiency will be condi
tioned by that of the motor transport.
Therefore, the Army is organizing
schools to train men in various
branches of automobile repair, con
struction, and operation. They are
real schools under trained teachers,
where the time of the pupil is wholly
devoted to receiving instructions.
Apart from the military necessity,
thr automotive industries will bene
fit by the establishment of this train
ing system.
The United States Civil Service
Commission is receiving applications
t> fill 150 positions of assistant in
structors in motor transport training
schools. The entrance salaries range
from $1,800" to $2,400 a year. Detailed
information may be obtained from
the United States Civil Service Com
mission. Washington, IX C.. or from
the secretary of the U. S. Civil Ser
vice Board at the post office or cus
tom house in any city.
The above notice was brought to
the attention of Colonel J. B. Kemper,
recruiting officer, in charge of the
Harrisburg district, and he desires to
bring to the attention of every young
man In the district the fact that there
are openings in the motor transport
corps for enlistments for a period
of one year for those with prior ser
vice, and for three years for original
enlistments. The General Depot Mo.
tor Transport Corps, Camp Holablrd,
Md.. is the largest of the kind in the
country, and every opportunity is af
forded there for the training neces
sary to attain the degree of compe
tency required by the Civil Service
Commission for the position of in
structor.
ALWAYS AT IT.
