THE MANUFACTURERS' OPPORTUNITY
There was something detinite and practical about
the conference held under the supervision of the
Hsrrisborg Chamber of Commerce in Fahnestook
Hall yesterday, on the subject of opening the great
Sooth American field for commerce to local man
ufacturers, which leaves a very favorable impres
sion on the public mind with regard to the meth
ods that the new Chamber has adopted for helping
Harrisburg.
The most striking thing about the conference was
the fact that it did not deai with generalities. It
got right down to brass tacks. The Chamber had
men on hand who have expert knowledge of how
the manufacturers of Harrisburg and other Amer
ican cities can sell their products to South Amer
icans who must buy them somewhere else than in
Europe now that the war has upset European com
merce. These men included some of the leading
experts of the country who have spent time and
money ascertaining the actual facts of the situa
tion and what they said can be depended on.
These speakers told the local manufacturers ex
actly what to do to get the business. Mr. George
P. Watt president of the Elliott-Fisher Company, of
this city, which has spent money to find out how
to establish the desired South Americail trade rela
tions, has offered to make all this information avail
able to other Harrisburg firms for the asking.
The Chamber of Commerce thus has brought
Harrisburg manufacturers directly and specifically
in touch with the machinery by which they can find
a profitable outlet for their products in the South
American field. It now rests with the individual
manufacturers whether they are going to avail
themselves of this opportunity. The Chamber has
done its part, and while the Chamber will continue
to lend all the additional aid and give all the infor
mation it can to help the manufacturers further, it
is now for the firms themselves to get busy and sell
their goods through the channels indicated by the
Chamber's speakers.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RIVALRY
Persons who delight in attending football games
as aifert of their Thanksgiving entertainment need
outside of Harrisburg to seek that kind of
t,port to-morrow. Although it is not a college
game that is scheduled for Island Park there is
every reason to believe that the scrimmage be
tween the Technical High School and the Central
High School teams will have most of the pictur
esque features that are associated with varsity
gridiron struggles. There is promise that the qual
ity of the play will be equal if not better than that
afforded by many college matehes.
Persons who saw the Technical High School team
defeat the strong Steelton High School eleven last
Saturday declare that the local boys displayed a
mastery of the fine points of the game that was
wonderful for a preparatory suhool. The inter
ference worked with machine-like system and ef
fectiveness that was amazing. On the other hand
the Central team has given a good account of
itself during the whole season.
To add to the interest of the contest is the fact
that these two Harrisburg teams are intense rivals.
They have met ten times in the last ten years, dur
ing which Central's goal line has never been crossed
by the Tech boys. Central has won nine of these
annual contests and one resulted in a tie.
Tech rooters, elated by the remarkable success
of their eleven this year, are confident they will
smash precedents and defeat their rivals, but the
HARRIS-*URO STAR-INDEPENDENT. WEDNESDAY EVENINO, NOVEMBER 25, 1914.
Imowledfe that Central has of Tech's wonderful
strength this season has uiade the Central boys all
the more determined to m&iutain their record of
never having been vanquished by Tech.
Whatever way the tide of battle turns persons
who go to Island Park to-morrow ean be sure that
they will see a tiue exhibition of football and that
neither team will relinquish its hope for victory
until the referee's whistle announces the elose of
the contest.
NEW YORK AND HER ROADS
The facetious suggestion comes from New York
that the state "fence in" all its roads so as to pre
vent bothersome automobiles front other states
wearing them out. It was inspired by the pro
posal of State Commissioner of Highways Carlisle
that taxes be imposed on "alien" automobiles and
upon heavy motor trucks.
The official advocated a tax of four cents a gal
lon on gasoline used by tourists from other states
while within the confines of New York as well as a
heavy tax on "all commercial vehicles, on the ground
that they wear out the highways.
Heavy motor trucks certainly are not light on
the roads of any state, and extensive tourist traf
fic leaves its traces. Provisions must be made for
these new conditions. The question is whether the
roads should be properly maintained at state ex
pense, as lias been the case, or whether the users
of the highways should pay the bills.
The New York Highway Commissioner's pro
posal does not seem to have been taken very favor
ably, and the suggested taxes may never be levied.
The motorists certainly hope not. They would not
want so bad an example to be set other states —
Pennsylvania, for instance.
THE THANKSGIVING SPIRIT
Turkeys, cranberry sauce, mince pics, pumpkin
pies and football have come to be inseparably as
sociated with Thanksgiving Day. Little thought do
most celebrators of the day, as they sit at their
bountiful boards, give to the famished Puritans.
We cannot always be living in the past, and perhaps
enjoyment of the present is by far preferable.
A day of sport and feastiug. Thanksgiving has
become a favorite holiday with the American peo
ple. Locally, the churches draw crowds and the
religious spirit of the occasion is manifested.
The motives which prompted the Pilgrims to
give thanks are of course not operating to-day
either in Pennsylvania or in Massachusetts, because
there has happily been uo repetition of the condi
tions of the days of the Pilgrims. The modern ob
servance of the holiday, however, has lost nothing
through evolution; it has gained if anything.
Thanksgiving Day now means more than a day
of giving thanks. It means a day of giving money,
clothing, food. Prayers have their place in its ob
servance, but so do deeds. Dinners are given the
poor: the needy are cam! for.
The things that concerned the pious founders of
the day have not entirely disappeared. To-morrow
many a sumptuous celebrator will have memories
of Puritan days at the close of the Thanksgiving
dinner, when the stomach makes known the pres
ence of a fairly substantial replica of Plymouth
Rock.
Again Bryan hits the speech-making txail.
And Christmas is ju»t one month from te-dav.
Lots of Belgians will be glad if they have bread and
butter on Thanksgiving Day.
Who will raise a fund for the baby turkeys that w ill be
orphaned by the great slaughter to-morrow?
South American housewives would look well in Harris
burgmade sunbonnets, and South American trains would be
safe on Steelton-made rails.
Andrew Carnegie is 79 years old to-day and he still is
able to buy a Thanksgiving turkey despite his oft expressed
desire to die poor.

When Stewart Was a Senator
If Justice John Stewart, of the Su
preme Court lieneh, resigns from that
exalted position which is the goal of
every young lawyer that ever conned
his Coke and Rlackstone. he will have
well e«rned his right to a rest, for his
has been a busy life from the time he
was a youug man. During the Civil war
he was lui officer in one of the best
known fighting Pennsylvania regiments,
serving as adjutant. Then he was dis
trict attorney of Franklin county, and
in 18S0 he entered State politics as a
candidate for Senator, being elected and
serving during the sessions of ISSt
-1883. the latter the Senate famous for
its men ef might in statecraft. The
Senate of 18SS had as members Herr,
of Dauphin; Reyburn. Kennedy and
Gordon, of Philadelphia; Wallace, of
Clearfield; Hail, of Elk; Wolverton, of
Northumberland; Longenecker, of Bed
ford; Arnold, of Allegheny; Cooper, of
Delaware: Watres, of l»aekawanna;
■"Smith and Urady. of Philadelphia: My
lin of ljaucaster, and mauy others who
were classed as front rank men in state
affairs.
• . *
As a Candidate for Governor
Governor Pattison, the first Dorno
cratie Governor, after 1861, was at the
head of state affairs, having beeu elect
ed by a split in the Republican ranks,
the regular Republicans having nomi
nated General James A. Beaver, and the
Independent Republicans, who rebelled
at tlie Cameron rule, having nominated
Senator John Stewart, who had just
served his first session in the Senate of
1881. The Senate was Republican
and the House Democratic, with John
A. Faunce, of Philadelphia, as Speaker.
Governor Pattison demanded that the
legislature pass apportionment bills,
and to that end called it into extra ses
sion the lay after the regular session
adjourned, June 6. 18S3. For the rest
of the year the two bodies fought it
out, but could come to no agreement on
the formation of Senatorial and Con
gressional districts, and finally, on De
cember 6, the legislature adjourned.
Senator Stewart joined with the Repub
licans in the Senate in fightiug Demo
cratic apportionment measures and in
opposing Pattison, the Democratic Gov
ernor. for whose election he was in a
great measure responsible, and when he
west back home he was as good a Regu
lar as aay of them. He only served
one term in the Senate. Later lie was
madtv judge of Franklin county, an i'
served until made justice of the Su
preme Court.

New Legislator is 6 Feet, 6
One of the new members of the Leg
islature from Reading is Mahlon Shaa
ber, and Mr. Shaaber will be one of the
few veterans of the Civil war in that
body. Another distinction is that he
wili be the tallest man in either body.
He is six feet, six inches high, and tow
ers above his fellow-citizens like a lamp
post over a fire plug. Mr. Shaaber was
a very tail young man when he entered
the army, and it was his height that led
to his meeting with President Lincoln.
His regiment was on the march down
Pennsylvania avenue in Washington,
and President Lincoln was reviewing
it. The tall young Berks county sol
dier attracted Lincoln's attention and
the President expressed a desire to
meet him. At the first opportunity
Shaaber was introduced at the White
House and met President Lincoln, who
gave him a hearty handshake and wish
ed him well. Shaaber was wounded in
battle, but returned home to engage in
business, and is one of Reading's most
esteemed citizens. He is prominent in
Grand Army circles and a general fa
vorite with his old comrades.

SURFACE TELLS HIM TO
KILL FURNITURE PEST
Gasoline or Benzine Will Do the Trick,
But Take the Furniture Out of
Doors When You Use the Sprink
ling Can
A woman who found her household
unexpectedly beset with pests examin
ed some new furniture which she had
recently purchased, Hud learned there
in the cause of the trouble. She then
wrote to State Zoologist H. A. Surface,
asking. "Will you please let me know
what will destroy lice, as I bought
a parlor suit, anil it was packed with
material that had not been properly
cured, and which bred lice? They call
th<*in chicken lice. 1 have burned sul
fur, and it did not kill them. The City
Board of Health directed me to write
to you asking what to do to get rid
of the pests."
To this ai'pe.il Professor Surface re
plied as follows:
'•JThe best treatment you can give
to destroy the pests which you think
are lice or chicken lice in your up
holstered furniture is to sprinkle it
abundantly with benzine or gasoline.
Of course, keep lire out of the room
where this is done. Open the windows
and doors, and let it ventilate well; or
take the furniture out of doors and
sprinkle it there. Give it a good, thor
ough treatment. Wherever the gasoline
touches one of these ]>ests it will kill
it, and will not injure the fabric.
"1 presume the pests arc book lice,
but it is not safe to guess at them at
long range. If you will send me one
or more in a very small bottle. I can
examine it and let you know exactly
what it is. It is always best to send
specimens with every letter or inquiry
concerning pests, but in this case the
same treatment will destroy the pests
whether they be oue species of insect
or another.
"There seems to be a general opiu
ion that certain conditions breed or
originate lice. This is not true. AH life
comes from life, and lice cannot orig
inate spantaneously or without others
of their same kiud as their ancestors,
any more than ean chickens, sheep or
any other kind of life. The material
used in upholstering the furniture
probably had the insects in it when it
was used, and they have merely been
feediug, multiplying aud appearing
since then. I know of one case where
a large fhrniture house has recently
sent out considerable furniture that
carried little brown beetles with it, be
cause they were feeding in the mater
ial used in upholstering. They can be
killed iu the manner mentioned above.
Fumigation i« not necessary."

Special OorresponUo
Mechanicsburg, Nov. 25.—At the

were appointed to' collect from our
townspeople and the neighboring towns
and from farmers in the vicinity. Our
people have already contributed well,

A trained nurse said, not long ago,
that with antiseptic gaure, adhesive

out of a hundred. "That is nothing,"
said a listener, "the gauze and the plas

There are many manufacturers turn

advantage of sticking to anything it is

sticking plaster or Court-plaster refused
to do. The adhesive plasters come in
various widths, too, which is a con

Housekeepers, though, have more
uses for adhesive plasters than sur

place the mustard draught between the

You can buy prepared plasters but
they do not seem so satisfactory as

of mustard and one tablespoon of flour
