i Outdoor activities by the local Civic

This lecture will be given by the
Rev. William B. Cooke, a former pastor

Say* Politics Handicap Police
In his opening address to the con
vention this afternoon President Til
lard dwelt at length on conditions in
1 polico departments under political ap
pointment systems, contending it is
practically useless to expect expert po
lice sfervice when the force is changed
with every change in the politics of the
city administration. Working toward
a uniform measure which would put de
partments on a stable footing, he advo
cated civil service and police pension
funds. He said, in part:
"There are now pending in the Leg
islature bills that if enacted into law
will put upon a more reasonable basis
the police bureaus of the cities of the
third clase in the State and create pen
sion laws affecting all officers from the
township to the city of the first class.
The passage of these laws would create
a (juiet and gradual evolution of the
police service of the State that would
mean much to the people thereof, to
say nothing of what it would mean to
the faithful guardians of the public
peace, t sincerely hope that the mem
bers of this association will rise to the
occasion by calling the attention of
their respective Representatives to the
importance of the juatters involved.
Asks for Public Support
"We are gathered," he continued,
"to confer with each other as to the
best possible method of pulling together
for the public good. The people
should remember that we are but men
like themselves, who need encourage
ment by holding up our hands. If they
deal with us niggardly and meanly, in
dulge in captious criticisms, show a dis
position to hinder rather than help,
they will not get the best possible
results.
"They must remember that when
they hire certain agents to perform
dangerous, difficult and perplexing
work they do not fully absolve them
selves from the duty of rendering such
assistance as they" alone can supply.
We are willing to assume the dangers
of the tiring line, but they must keep
up the commissary and the ammuni
tion.
"If we give the best that is in us
they must not play into the hands of
the common enemy by hurling at us un
just accusations or abusive ridicule. Au
occasional knock may do us good, but
we do not care to have it come in the
bat-k of the head when we are grappling
with a crook or facing a perplexing sit
uation.
Public Must Inform Police
" Another phase of the situation that
hampers and renders police work diffi
cult and distasteful is tht attitude of
those who refuse to exercise the duties
of good citizenship by rendering the
assistance essential to the conviction of
offenders whose practices they so
righteously condemn. The law, which is
said to be 'the perfection of reasoning,'
requires tangible proofs of all wrong
doings. However, every good citizen
owes it to himself and society to fur
nish the proper authorities with any
legal information in his possession con
cerning violations of the laws.
"I oelieve that the world is growing
better, and notwithstaading all the evi
dences to the contrary, the race is
climbing toward a higher plane of
purity and righteousness."
POLICE CIVIL SERVICE PLAN
TO HAVE PUBLIC HEARING
Chances of passage by the Legisla
ture of the police civil service bill for
third class cities in Pennsylvania, of
which Harrisburg is one. are considered
much better since the Lackers of the
bill have obtained promise that an
open hearing on the measure will be
granted to them before the Judiciary
Special Committee of the Senate.
This was arranged to-day by Senator
Snvder, of Schuylkill
The measure already has passed the
Hcuse and has been sent to the Senate.
It was referred to Snyder's committee
ami was considered dead. Since that
time the League of Third Class Cities
has been plugging for the bill and,
through the efforts of Ira W. Stratton,
Mayor of Reading, "president of the
league, the hearing has been granted.
The hearing will be held to-morrow
afternoon in the committee room and
all of the chiefs of police from third
class cities who are in the city attend
ing the convention of the Pennsylvania
State Association of Chiefs of Police
will attenl the hearing. To-morrow
afternoon the conventionists will take
an automobile ride through Harrisburg,
which will end at the Capitol in time
for tho phiofs to attend the henring.
Chief Hutchison said this morning
that the chances of the bill passing the
Senate are now good. The policemen
will endeavor to impress the committoe
with the importance of the measure, so
that it will reach the floor of the Sen
ate.
Canal Locks
Although the ancient* knew the val
ue of canals, they failed to hit on the
simple device of the lofk, which was not
discovered till the fourteenth century.
To this day the dispute has never been
settled as to which country, Italy or
Holland, is entitled to the credit of the
invention.
A Polite Threat
"Why do you always ask that reg
ular customer if the razor hurts him}"

NEW EPWORTH LEAGUE HEAD
The Rev. W. E. Wat kins, of York, Is
Elected District President
At a meeting in the Stevens Me
morial Methodist church of this city
on Saturday afternoon of the Harris
burg District Epworth League Cabinet,
which represents sixty-nine Epworth
League Chapters, the Rev. W. E. Wat
kins, of York, was elected district
president, succeeding the Rev. J. W.
Long, formerly of Dillsburg, who was
sent to West Clearfield in the Juninta
District following the sessions of the
Central Pennsylvania Conference of
the Methodist church at Shamokin sev
eral weeks ago. The Rev. Mr. Long's
transfer to another district necessitat
ed the election of a successor, and this
meeting of the District Cabinet was
called by C. H. Clark, of Carlisle, the
first vice president of the district, for
that purpose.
Besides Mr. Clark, those present
were: A. H. Stover, second vice presi
dent, of Harrisburg; R. K. Bergstres
ser, fourth vice president, of liarris
burg; Miss Jessie Spangler, correspond
ing secretary, of Littlestown; Miss
Mary Crane, recording secretary, of
Harrisburg; the Rev. Allen C. Sbue,
treasurer, of York; Miss Myrtle May
berry, Junior League superintendent,
of Dillsburg, and the Rev. W. E. Wat
kins, the president-elect, of York.
Following the election of the Rev.
Mr. Watkins as president, plans for
the district convention to be held in
Chambersburg on June 17 and 18 were
outlined, and the new president was
authorized to arrange with speakers
for that occasion.
GARDENS FOR THE NEEDY
Plowing Has Started on Lots Which
Will Supply Many Families
Plowing has been started on three
lots in different sections of the city
which are to be converted into work
ers' gardens for the support of at
least three hundred families, under the
direction of the Benevolent Associ
ation.
The officers of the Harrisburg Be
nevolent Association are George W.
Reily, president; Donald McCormick,
secretary, and Charles A. Kunkel, treas
urer. The organization is co-operat
ing with the directors of the poor.
Many applications for the minia
ture farms have already been regeived
and sections will be allotted as soon
as the land is marked off. The amount
given will depend upon the size of the
family, ranging from lots 25 by 100
feet to 100 by 100 feet. The average
plot will be 50 by 100 feet. Seeds
will be furnished by the Association,
and the gardens will be cultivated un
der its supervision.
For the first time since 1908 these
workers' gardens will be in operation
here. At that time the Associated
Charities let out small tracts of a total
of about 10 acres to numerous poor
families. The idea proved unusua'lly
successful, the value of the truck
products amounting to nearly $4,500.
