Harrlnburg. With a big reception
at which Governor Brumbaugh was the
guest of honor, Harrlsburg Chamber of
Commerce entertained more than 300
men and women who bad been instru
mental In bringing to completion the
great public Improvements undertaken
by Harrlnburg fifteen years ago. Tbey
embrace the creation of a great park
and playground system of nearly 1000
acres, a filter plant, flood prevention
and sanitary dams, construction of
Wlldwood Luke, establishment of pub
lic golf links, baseball diamonds, tennis

ing places and an athletic field, pav
ing of miles of streets, the erection
of a concrete viaduct, building of con
crete steps from the river bank to
the water's edge the length of the city
and many minor Improvements.
Governor Brumbaugh commended
Harrlsburg for Us park and play
ground development and said that
within a very short time Pennsyl
vania will be legislating for the pro
tection and conservation of her peo
ple In their leisure hours. Instead of
during their working period. He said
that the tendency Is toward a shorter
day and this Is good, but that the
open door of evil Influences Is lead
ing people astray because they find It
easier with Increased leisure to do
wrong than to keep out of mischief.
The Governor pledged his adminis
tration to the development of the
Capitol Park Extension area and said
It Is bis ambition to make It the most
attractive and beautiful spot In Penn
sylvania. He also dwelt at some length
on the bousing problem and said, "The
State will go a long, long way very
shortly to give every mother, that
brings a child Into the world light,
air and a sanitary home."
Ex Postmaster E. J. Stackpole, who
started the public improvement cam
paign in his newspaper, the 'Tele
graph," back In 1901, followed the Gov
ernor, He said the accomplishment
of the city had been made possible by
the hearty co-operation of all the peo
ple, who voted the loans and bore the
financial burden.
On the same program were: J. V. W.
Pieynders, vice-president of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company; Vance C. Mc
Cormlck, Mayor of Harrlsburg, when
the first Improvement loan was floated;
Spencer C. Gilbert, first chairman of
the Board of Public Works following
the Inauguration of the improvements,
and J. Horace McFarland, president
of the American Civic Association, a
member of the city's first general Park
Board. Moving pictures of the "new
Harrlsburg" closed the reception.
Hunting a Step To Preparedness.
A plea for hunting and fishing as a
part of training for national prepared
ness Is made by Dr. Joseph Kalbfus,
secretary of the State Game Commis
sion, In the foreword of the 1915 game,
fish and forestry laws. The laws are
the biennial publication of the digests
relating to the outdoor activities of the
State and afford opportunity for dis
cussion of advantages.. "The ability
acquired by young America in the
pursuit of game," says Dr. Kalbfus, "In
the handling of the gun, In taking care
of himself In the fields or In the forests
or on the water has made it possible
for our volunteers to become with lim
ited discipline and drill the equal of
any regular on the face of the earth.
I cite as Illustration the work done
by Jackson's men at New Orleans, the
efficiency of onr own Pennsylvania.
Bucktalls during the Civil War, the
work of the Boer In South Africa. The
State owes it to Itself, if for no
other reason, to supply Its young men
with the Incentive for training In the
shape of game, without which they can
not and will not be fitted to meet de
mands made upon them." The fore
word says that last year 8000 men
camped on State lands and 305,028
hunters licenses were Issued in 1913
and fully as many In 1914.

tions imposed last year because of
foot and mouth disease. Pittsburgh
has been declared free Rfter an inspec
tion by agents of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board. The State Board has
established a strict quarantine against
all shipments of cattle, swine or sheep
from Chicago and nine northern coun

ence of the foot and mouth disease n
225 herds.
Dismissed Electric Company Case.
The Public Service Commission dis
missed the complaint of tile" Elec
trical Consumers Adjustment' Company
against the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany because the complaint did not
appear to support their charge of dis
crimination. The Consumers Com
pany, which has offices In New York,
charged that the Philadelphia company
refused to sell it power at wholesale
rates so that It could be retailed. Two
dates were set for hearings and at
neither time did anyone appear.
