spects to Miss Romsdahl.

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bre-
vik OF Calumet was the scene Of Il
pleasant gathering last evening, when
the choir of the Norwegian Lutheran
church called to help them celebrate
the tenth anniversary Of their marri-
age. The event was also in the nature
of a farewell for Miss Mildrid Roms-
dahl who has been identified with the

evening for Chicago TO make her home.
The choir presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Brevik with beautiful bouquet of
roses as token OF their esteem and
then on behalf of the choir, Mr.. Bre-
vik presented Miss Romsdahl with a

.5.6A PUPILS
ARE ENROLLED
Increase of225 Over 1913 Enroll
ment In District No. I

| Supt. +. j. Hall Of the public schools
| OF Calumet announced this afternoon
that the enrolment I'm the various de-
partments OF the school yesterday
was 5,644. or an increase OF 225 over
the total enrolment at the opening of
the school team last year The in
crease in the Calumet high school is
most marked. there being 30 more
students enrolled this year than ut the
opening last year.
There is every reason to believe that
this enrolment will he still further in
creased az the term advances. II is an
established fact that the enrolment
during the second week OF the school
term is always greater than in the first
week. and very frequently students
do not take up their studies until two
or three weeks after the school term
begins. Although this condition is
being gradually overcome in recent
years, II still obtains to "A certain ex-
tent, and warrants the belief that the
enrolment figures later on will be
higher than at present.
At the next meeting of the board of
education plans probably will be con-
sidcred for the establishment of
night school course similar To the free
night school that has been opened in
other years. This school probably will
not be opened until October. and pos
sibly November, however.

Quebec, Que, May 30.-Of the thou

their death yesterday with the sinking
of the liner Empress of Ireland, the
bodies of more than 800 had been re-
covered to-day, search was being con-
Quoted in the st. Lawrence for others

by the residents of Rimouski.
Early to-day the bulk of the dead

of the Empress of Ireland, still suffer-

Empress, it became known to-day,

that the Empress will either have to

by Mary Harmon and Lula Beard. the
farewell address by Miss Ryan, a trio
by Dorcas Byrnes, Mary Harman, and

Mary H. Hogan. supervisor of draw
ing, Mrs. NJ. H. Thomas, Misses Eliza

|ND|ANAPOL|S| IN A
WAY HADN'T MUCH
ON THIS BUSY DAY
If Indiana Had Its Auto Races
Harrisburg Had Its Roller
mobile Event

Harrisburg folks who didn't get out
to Indianapolis to-day, but who dld
get to Front street between Locust ana
State streets, We're probably Just as
we'll satisfied
The second annual electric iron
"rollermobile" races, Harrisburgs own
particular Memorial Day athletic
event, was held this morning.
In order not to interfere with the
attendance at the baseball game on
the island the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company under whose direc-
ton the electric iron races were held,
fixed the unusually early holiday hour
of 9 o'clock for the program. And
even at that crowd that had some
thing on last years attendance crowd
ed to the side-line ropes and gave the
policemen troubles of their own at the
finish line.
The "Cars''
AS for types of ''rollermobiles." they
were there in all styles, sizes and coll
ors For the uninitiated in the art of
locomotion, it may be well just here
to explain ''rollermobile." A roller
mobile consists of a strip of board
mounted on two roller skate trucks.
Forward-to givev balance for the
driver as we'll as to suggest ton
neau effect is a box. The operator
places one foot on the runningboard-
and the motive power? Why that's
the other foot.
Some real class was attempted in
the machines" One enthusiast turn
ed up with parabola searchlight
headlight effect. That this was OBJ
tained by mailing a bicycle gas-lamp
to the front is neither here nor there;
the mechanician unquestionably
meant we'll. Then there was the
cooler effect for the radiator" A
strip of window-screen tackled across
the front of the box served this pur-
pose admirably. Another youth had a
little seat mounted on the rear of his
"car'-just about where the tonneau
should be.
Getting Ready to Roll Along
For half an hour before Official
Starter Murnane fired the first gun
that announced the initial event, Front
street in the vicinity of State, the
starting point, echoed with the scores
of rollers" The operators were try
ing out" their machines.
Following the races the winners
called at the electric light company S
offices and got their prizes.
And by unanimous voice the young
sters declared they want another cleo
tric iron race next year. Here are the
winners, in order in each event and
the prizes they Won:
First event-Won by Charles Sun
day, roller skates; James Bradley
Brownie camera; William Williams
watch; Leon Crisswell, air gun.
Second event-Won by Harry Con-
nor, tennis racquet and balls; Charles
Carl, catchers' nit: Edwin Rodgers

shoes.
Third event-Won by Russell Gaines
