.UNVE|L|NC Of
THE MONUMENT

| Hon. James Foster, president of the
soldiers monument committee, is
authority for the statement that the
handsome memorial will be finished
not later than December 1st and that
the unveiling of the same which will
be most distinguished and imposing
ceremony, will take place Immediately
thereafter. ThesVan AmringeiGranite
company is at present working on the
bronze panels which contain the in
scriptions. The bronze panels will be
placed on the base of the pedestals,
which support the symbolic figures.
The figures themselves are rapidly
approaching completion. or these
there are four. One--a female figure
is typical of the mother country,
and is especially appropriate and i'm
pressive.
The enemy of our country is SYM
bolized in the figure by lighted torch
held aloft in the right hand. The fe-
male figure with the sword is typical
of the mother country, who en-
trusted to her citizen soliers the weap-
on of "offense" (the sword). The
soldiers and patriots of the north have
wrested from the enemy the weapon
of disunion, the torch Of destruction,
and have surrendered it to the care of
the mother country" who has extin-
guished the flame of hatred. At the
same time she receives with gratitude
and pride. the sheathed sword, the in
strument which made it possible for
the defense of her honor and integ
rity. In general way the public is
thoroughly familiar with the design
and it is cause for general congratu-
lation that the beautiful memorial,
so long dream, is so soon to be a
reality.
Mr.. Foster states that the contract
or is bound by the agreement to have
the monument completed and ready
for unveiling by the first of Decem-
ber. From present indications, how
ever, it seems likely that the monu-
ment will be finished in all its details
by November 1st.
Considering the lateness of the sea-
son, when the weather might prove
unfavorable for out-o door exercises,
there is some sentiment in favor of
postponing the unveiling until next
Memorial day. Mr.. Foster. however,
does not concur He thinks the proper
time for unveiling the monument will
be Immediately after its completion,
which will in all.probability be dur
ing the month of November.
There seems to be little doubt there
fore, that the next important event in
Danville --only a couple of months
distant-will be the unveiling of the
soldiers monument. Mr.. Foster says
that it will be one of the most impor.
tant occasions that ever took place in
Danville. Prominent men of the
Grand Army of.the Republic will be
present there will be eloquent address.

WILL INSTALL
FIRE ALARM

A full mem bership of the school
board was present Monday night as
follows: Pursel, Orth. Barber, Swarts.
Burns, Redding, Fish, Lloyd, Fisch-
er. Sechler, Heiss and Cole. Although
no especial ind Inference as to attend
ance is at anytime shown by the board,
yet it so very rarely occurs that all
the members are present that the
meeting Monday night is worthy of
mention in this respect.
Mr.. Fischer of the committee on
building and repairs reported progress.
Repairs are nearly all completed and
the buildings will be in good shape by
the time school opens.
On motion of Mr.. Burns a vote of
thanks was extended to W. A. Sechler
for valuable assistance rendered in
filling up the grounds of the second
ward school building.
On motion of DR.. Barber it was
ordered that the high school alumni
of Danville be granted the use of the
high school room for the purpose of
reorganizing and making arrangements
for holding an alumni picnic next
week.
On motion of Mr.. Burns it was ord
cred that bill of supplies needed in
the high school laboratory be purchas-
ed, the supply committee to procure
prices of wholesale houses, and to pur-
chase of the lowest dealer.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer it was
ordered that barrel of cottowaxo. a
sweeping compound, be ordered for
each of the several school buildings Of
the borough.
Cleaver Wagner appeared before the
school board in the interest OF fire
alarm system which he wished to in
troduce into the school buildings. The
cost complete would be sl20.
This brought up the matter of fire
alarm system which occupied so much
time the previous meeting. Some OF
the members thought Mr.. Wagner s
system possessed points that made it
preferable. Others took the view that
to award the contract to Mr.. Walllze
under the circumstances would ex-
clude the element of competition.
Mr.. Wallize was present and took
the floor to explain the merits OF his
system. He agreed to keep the system
in repair free for one year. 1t was up
to the school board to decide which of
the two fire alarm systems it would
accept or whether or not it would de-
eide to install either system at pres
ent.
DR.. Barber moved that the school
board endorse the action OF the COM
mittee in awarding the contract to j..
W. Wallize. Mr.. Burns seconded the
motion.
A protracted discussion ensued. MI.
Wallize, when he had the floor explain
ed that he would guarantee the fire
alarm to work perfectly and that, if
it failed to do so, he would take the
system out of the buildings free of
charge. Neither would he ask for a
cent of money until the system was
installed and found to be a success,
His terms seemed very fair to some of
the members while others opposed
awarding the contract to Mr.. Wallize.
A vote was finally taken, when the
motion carried, after which the con-
tract was declared awarded to Mr..
Wallize at S112.
The following bills were approved

RAIN MARRIED
METHODIST DAY

The rain Tuesday night interfered
with the observance of Methodist day.
Owing to the weather the services
were held in St. Paul's NJ. E. church.
Notwithstanding the disarrangement
of plans there was good attendance.
1t was decided esterday.morning to
hold the forenoon session in st Paul's
NJ. e. church and not to make arrange
ments for the afternoon session until
noon, by which time change in
weather might occur.
At the morning service there was a
fair sized attendance. The prayer was
offered by the Rev. A. B. Still. The
Rev. William Brill, pastor of the
church, read the scriptures, after which
an edifying and uplifting sermon was
preached by the Rev. DR.. E. H.
Yocum, former pastor of st. Paul's
church. His text was taken from num-
bers 22-26.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

BY noon the weather seemed still
unsettled and in view of the chilly
atmosphere and the fact that the park
was damp it was decided to hold the
remainder of the exercises in the
church
The principal feature of the after
noon session was another address by
the Rev. Dr.. Yocum. The text was
taken from First Corinthians 1921 and
was more extended effort than the
forenoon sermon. Rev. B. f. Camp
bell, of Catasauqua, who was to have
preached in the afternoon, was unable
to be present and had notified the COM
mittee to that effect.
The opening prayer in the afternoon
was offered by the Rev. j. H. Morti-
mer, of Ashland. During the after
noon there was a large attendance.
1t is the purpose to continue the OBJ
servance of Methodist day each year.
Next season the arrangements will be
made earlier

Suggestions for Rag Carpets

A RAG CARPET Is usually the
~ housekeeper's delight. for it may
be washed with ease and always be
clean. while. as It is made entirely OF
wooden materials. It wears practically
forever. Bought in the stores. II 10
really very expensive in comparison to
what 1t should be were the materials
taken into consideration. The most In
expensive way to obtain a rag carpet
is to make one out Of the pieces left
over from the dresses Of the family. for
the weaving costs very little, and the
result Is a very serviceable door cover
Ing.
The only objection to making rag car
pet at home. many women say. is that
the rags must be sewn together. which
is a very tiresome occupation and takes
a great deal Of time. That is because
the old-fashioned method Of sewing rags
together was to first cut them in strips.
then sew each strip by hand one to
another. With the aid OF a machine.
this work 10 reduced to a minimum and
two methods may be used.
In the first way, the materials may be
sewn together-one piece Tapped over
the other-and. after they are sewn.
will be necessary only to join together
the very long strips formed by the
p.eced materials.
The other way Is to cut the mate
rails in the old-fashioned manner. and
sew the strips together on the machine
II the machine is not one OF the chain
stitch sort. 1t will not be necessary to
break the thread after each two are
sewn together. When all the strips are
used up. they may be cut one from the
other by shipping the thread which
Again. other women do not Join the
rags by simply tapping them one over
the other. but they fold them together
SO that no ravelng may pull them
way. but the weaving is not SO strenu-
Gus an operation that this is necessary.
In selecting rags for carpets. all the
bright co!ors that may be found will
add to its beauty. and too many dark
shades should not be Joined together.
Red should always be used. and white
is effective.
Needless to say. only wooden mate
rails can be used. for cottons would i'm
mediately pull the whole fabric out of
shape, because they have not enough
elasticity to serve the purpose.
AS the rags are sewn together they
should be rolled into balls. as one would
roll zephyr. Each ball should be about
eight inches in diameter. or. in other
words weighing about one pound. When
handloom in the house. which there
probably is not. they may be sent to q
weaver who will make up the carpet
for about Is cents yard. As the rags
and the time for sewing cost no money
at all. even IL weaving costs more than
the amount stated. on the whole. car.
pet thus made would be very cheap.

Preparing for Winter

KIT is BETTER to be ready and not
go than to go and not be ready"
So. on the same principle. 1t Is
better to prepare now next winters
ciothes-even though they may not be
made up-than to have next winter
come with no preparation.
Vests will undoubtedly remain in fash
ion. for the cutaway coat has proved
itself SO popular that 1t will stay with
us for quite a while. and with the cut
away coat one must always wear a
vest. So. why not begin now and en-
broider a few. so that they may be used
with next winters suit? For instance.
if the suit is to be black broadcloth. 1t
may have a vest OF any shade: cham
payne color. mauve. magenta. ruby or
natter blue. 1t will be very good idea
to choose vests OF three Of these colors
and decorate them with soutache or en-
broidery stitches: then. when next win
ter comes. they may be hooked in the
side seams of the coat. and removed
when desired. SO that the black suit
worn with different vest each time
will give the appearance OF unlimited
winter costumes. In making the vests
SO that they will hook into the coat. the
hooks themselves should be placed on
the wrong side of the vest-at the very
edge; then the eyes may be sewn into
the two seams Of the coat-just at the
sides of the front.
The natter blue vest might he en-
broidered with a series of diamonds and
dots in darker but harmonizing shade
OF heavy blue silk floss: The champagne
colored vest would look very well en-
broidered in gold or silver, while the
mauye would be extremely attractive
braided with black soutache. and the
ruby red could also be embroidered in
black
ing the summer lots of little odds and
ends may be finished up which viii ma
terially decrease the expense OF next

time for il TO lose its high place in the
estimation of wOmankind.
