For Their Own P0cketbOOls.

Hardly in line with the admoni
ton Of President Wilson that the
people of this country should culti-
vate a mental attitude of absolute
neutrality toward the nations now
engaged in killing each other off is
the following announcement in
cablegram to the New York Sun.
Paris, August 1S.-The American
Chamber OF Commerce in Paris has
obtained orders from America for
$6O,OOO.OO0 worth of French goods
in the making Of which women are
largely employed. The project was
put through under the conviction
that insuring the continuance of her
economic life was the best way OF
helping France at this juncture.
This is indeed very sympathetic.
but it is not the passionless neutral
ity which President Wilson urges.
Plainly and truthfully stated, there
is fully as much business as sympa-
thy in 1t. The American Chamber
of Commerce in Paris is made up al
most exclusively of men who make
money by exporting from France
merchandise which takes the place
of products of American labor and
industry. 1t is no part of their
or thre million American workers
who have lost their jobs because
of the Underwood Free Trade Tar
if. Their solicitude is solely for the
French workers thrown out Of their
jobs because of war conditions--and
for their own pocketbooks.

SCARLET WOMEN OF

Kimono Brigade Driven Out by
Crusade Select Mountain
City as Haven

Harrisburg women, driven from the
red light districts as a result of the
crusade inaugurated against vice by
District Attorney M. E. Stroup, and
Colonel Joseph b. Hutchison, chief of
police, have invaded Altoona, accord
ing to the following dispatch:
Fugitive bad women from Harris
burg, set to flight by the return to
the Dauphin county court of twenty
eight places of designation and
bawdiness by Chief of Police ]. B.
Hutchison, for the time being, have
chosen Altoona as a haven, and are
now practicing their shameless pro-
fession in this city.
"Vice conditions in Harrisburg had
grown to such proportions that Judge
Kunkle when his attention was called
to them, ordered that scarlet list
be returned to him for immediate
action. This was done, and District
Attorney Stroup was given instruc-
tions to proceed, criminally, against
the keepers of the houses and their
assessed owners. The promoters and
their girls were panic stricken and at
once prepared to leave Harrisburg,
migrating to other cities. That AL

tested in the teeming houses of i'll

In the confession attributed lyy the

A True Story

A certain razor has built up a
large sale and National repu-r
tation through newspaper adver-
ttsing. 1t has been sold at a
fixed price and the public has
come to regard 1t as we'll worth
the price asked.
Following last Springs de-
cision OF the Supreme Court
some dealers began cutting the
price: of this particular article
using 1t as an advertisement.
Now, curiously enough, not
few of the price-cutting stores
found they sold fewer of these
razors at cut price than be-
fore. On the other hand, stores
that maintained the price found
an increased demand.
People want to know what is
wrong with 1t when we offer this
article at a cut price," one store
keeper told the writer.
1t was true that the splendid
newspaper advertising coupled
with the fact that 1t was a good
article had practically standard
ICED the price in the minds of
the public.
There is food for thought In
this situation for other manu-
facturers.

suggestions, Write to the

CONSIDER HILL SCHOOL PLANS

Whether or not the sexes at the

OF the teachers committee of the
School Board Friday afternoon, and
II is possible that its recommends :
tions one way. or another may be def
nitely acted upon at q special meet
ing of the whole School Board imme-
diately afterward. This was decided
at last evenings meeting of the School
Board.
The question of rearranging the
study system in such way as to keep
the girls and the boys in different
rooms has been threshed about in the
School Board for some time, but the
matter was recently brought to head
a few weeks ago when the board asked
for definite data on the subject
The other members of the board
have been asked to meet with the
teachers committee to look into the
sex separation problem, so that it is
quite likely that the momentous ques-
tion of whether Percival and Clarice
shall continue to study and recite to-
gether at High School, as heretofore,
or whether they shall go off and study
and recite with fellow Percivals and
sister Clarices, respectively, will soon
be decided.

The board will be called in special
session Friday afternoon to consider
the plans for the proposed new grade

DERRY ST. PAVING
WORK FIRST To Be
TAKEN UP IN SPRING
Will Start Eighteenth to Twenty
second Street When the
Weather Permits
GET BUSY ON 'LEFT-OVERS"
Prospect Job to Be Taken Up
Soon; Many Sections Com
pleted in 1913
GET BUSY ON 'LEFT-OVERS'

While little new street paving can
be planned for this year because of q
lack of funds. some $4,000 square
yards of asphalting provided for un-
der last years contracts is yet to be
done, and this work will be started
just as soon as the weather permits
The unfinished contracts include a
dozen or more sections of streets, the
chief of which. perhaps, is the long
stretch of Derry street between Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-second.
During the year 1913 total OF 7S,-
553.SS yards of asphalting was put
down with a total of 34,736.4 feet or
a little more than six and half miles
of curbing.
For years Derry street, one of the
chief arteries of the city. has been a
just cause for wailing and gnashing
of teeth on the part of teamsters and
auto touring parties. Councils, how
ever, finally provided for the improve
ment of the section and the contract
was let. Little action was possible
last year however. because the Har-
risburg Railways Company, which will
have to take the initial steps, did not
start.
Early Start in Spring
AS soon as the weather allows a
start it is expected that the trolley
company will begin removing its
tracks and otherwise preparing for
the change of grade that will go with
the Improvement. It is possible, too
that the proposed plan of raising the
sidewalks above the street will be fol-
lowed. BY this scheme the sidewalks
will follow the top of the embank-
ments much like on terrace and the
cut necessitated by the change of
grade will not inconvenience the prop
crty owners or damage the proper
ties.
While Derry street is being pre-
pared it is likely that the Central Con-
Struction and Supply Company will
proceed with the paving of these other
streets, '1eftovers" from last years
contracts:
Rhoads alley. Delaware to Peffer;
Liberty alley Fifteenth to Sixteenth;
ten-foot alley. Delaware to 1876 feet
south; Mulberry Seventeenth to Eigh-
teenth; Prospect, Market to White
hall; Naudain, Sixteenth to Seven
teenth; Logan alley, Maclay to Wood
bine, and Orange alley.
Paving Prospect Street
OF scarcely less Importance than
the Derry street Improvement will be
the Prospect street job. That was to
have been done last year but the
changing of the car tracks was neces-
sary, and this could not be definitely
figured upon until councils had
adopted the ordinances relative to the
construction of the new formal en-
trance to Reservoir Park at Twenty
first and Market streets
In addition to finishing up most of
the paving work, the Central Com
pany yesterday completed the "hlling
in" of the river front from Maclay
to Division streets. The "fll' was
placed there to support the curbing for
Front street.
All told fifty-three sections of streets
and alleys were paved last year. the

their families are eating soups made
of chopped straw, leaves and rotten
potatoes and meat taken from cats,
dogs and fish. The more fortunate
have thin ~gruel made of rice or

many deaths from cold and starvation
and an increase of crime and beggars.
