PROTECT THE TRAFFIC
OFFICERS

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
1 write this to the City Council,
Chief of Police, or Civic Club.
When we travel away from Harris
burg to other cities we learn to ap-
preciate the many improvements we
have at home, and yet, soemumes,
we see things which we would like
to see at home. During a trip to Bal
timore, toward evening it began to
rain and l took notice that all traffic
policemen are provided with nice
platform to stand on. It is about two
feet square on top and Ave inches high
and Is covered with carpet. Right
back of each officer is an iron stand
holding large umbrella over his
head.
The officer is not stationed out in
the center of the four corners but
over near one curb.
This arrangement struck me as be-
ing such a sensible way OF taking
care Of the health of those who take
care Of us, that would offer this sug-
gestion that Harrisburg may do like
wise.
Yours respectfully,

President Wilson's conference with

news dispatches had told in convincing
detail how our Government stood in a
more or less splendid isolation. how we
were estranged from our nearest neigh

Der of controversies which might
"gravitate to a common center of hos

IhomaS A. Edlson sat in his

day recently, some one of the
company of newspaper reporters
present asked him to define genius.
and he replied: Genius is per

spiration.'
The great inventor was speaking
from his own experience. Few of us
have not at one time or another en-

many of us would be willing to ac-
quire Edison's fame by Edisons meth

by working "over- -timej No labor

aghast at the hours Edison has volun-

in the hardest kind of labor-that of
doing something that nobody has ever
done before. He boasts of eighteen
hours as his regular working day and
has frequently remained at one task
as long as thirty-six hours at a
stretch.
Yet he is in vigorous mental and
physical health to-day. Hard work
has not injured him. Why? For the
reason that it is not what we do while
at work that breaks our health sc

But Edison is not unhappy. He was

cause he made work his pleasure, and

This is not an argument for an

REASONS FOR CHURCH-GoING

TO the Editor of The Telegraph:
I have noticed with delight the CO.
operation of the public press IN the va
rfous movements for the npildt II OF sratie ,ne
tude for the assistance rendered the
churches of steelton, Highspire and
Oberlin in advertising the "Go-to-
Church Sunday" on March l.
The following are a number of rea-
sons, with brief amplifications. why
men and women should attend church:
of our gracious union with God. Nehe-
miah writes. We will not forsake tho
house of our God" The church is the
house of God. and all connected. with
God should be dear and sacred to us.
| We should revere His word, His ordi-
nanoes. His people. We should, there
fore. revere the house or His abode.
Secondly, we should go to church be-
cause 1t is our clear and imperative
duty. Each person should have lively
interest in the welfare and prosperity
of the Lords house. Our praises shall
hallow it; our influence shall support 1t;
our prayers shall be for it,. our hearts

thunder in the air would be issuing
from the church, singing proudly Its
holy anthem-rapturously its majestic
appointment. 1t is enjoined by God. and
therefore authoritative and binding, for
to forsake Gods house is to forsake
| His expressly revealed law.
Again, we should go to church, be-
cause of our public profession. We are
Gods people, and. OF course. His house
is our home; It is our spiritual resi-
the Lords, and as such must appear in
| His courts.
Also, because of the special advan-
sires will be exalted, our souls elevat-
ed to God, our minds enlarged, our
graces revived, our spirits cheered,. and

will He withhold from them that walk
uprightly. o Lord of hosts, blessed is
the man that trusteth in Thee" "They
who wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength. they shall rise up with
wings as eagles, they shall run and not
be weary, they shall walk and not

Lastly. we should attend the house
of God because of its connection with

wv HILE FRANCIS FRANK rested
N snugly in an all too cozy cell
w in the Dauphin county Jail,
his stomach leisurely digest
ing a breakfast OF hot rolls and coffee,
and while his half-starved wife in
vain sought food for herself and two
little girls, the little ones themselves,
thinly clad, with no warm breakfast
to fight off the chilling wind, huddled
on a doorstep and wept, while
the thermometer hovered about zero.
What manner Of law is it that shuts
up in a steamheated building and
bountifully feeds a man who will not
support his family and leaves his wife
to struggle and suffer and his chill
dren to starve and to freeze?
Isn't it about time that we provide
q place where such as these may be
forced to work and the proceeds ap-
propriated to the needs of their de-
pendents?
Charity workers say that their
greatest problems are those of wife
desertion and nonsupport. A man
who willingly sees his family suffer
is well nigh hopeless. He hasn't
the qualities of the lowest of dumb
animals, which are nothing if not de-
voted to their young. He does not
know the meaning of disgrace He is
beneath it.
There is only one way in which to
deal with such as these-make them
produce, and then take sufficient of
their earnings from them for the use
of their families. The municipal work
house idea, with notifications and
regulations, would seem to fit in here
pretty well.

ticon slides illustrating a talk to be

cialized vice. Will the chief of police

u sidering the paving or the TOWN.
two principal thoroughfares.
Good work! Action of this sort
shows that Harrisburg's suburban
neighbors are wide awake and intent
on the development OF their historic old
town. Time was-and not SO long ago
at that-when this city was peacefully,
placidly plodding along through the
mud and dirt of its unpaved streets
Then came the awakening that led to
the development of a highway system
second to that of no other city in the
State. Who knows but what the pres
ent Improvement discussion at Mid
dletown may mean the start of high
way improvements that will make Its
street system second to that Of no
other borough of Pennsylvania.
Another instance of the progressive
municipal spirit which has taken hold
of Middletown is the contemplated
appointment of park board and park
superintendent to look after the park
system started last summer by the
opening of the towns first public park
and playground.

THE LAUNDRYMEN,s PLEA

"HE poor, down-trodden laundry
man has turned at last. He has
u come to the point where he can
no longer stand the weekly taunt
of the patron whose brand new shirt
is returned from the wash" with a
rip down the bosom or the collar band
torn loose. He has come to resent the
imputation that. like the monarch of
the railroad baggage car, he takes
pride in his ability to destroy the
property of his patrons. He is a care
full. conscientious business man. he
asserts, despite apparent evidence to
the contrary, and he proposes to
prove it.
AS a result the Laundrymen's Asso-
ciation has caused to be introduced
into Congress a bill requiring that
every piece of fabric bear a label
stating exactly what it is, whether
wool, cotton, silk, linen or a mixture,
together with the percentage of each
used in the makeup.
In support of this measure the laun-
drymen have sent the following to
members of the association and to
customers whom they believe will be
interested:
There is more deception prac-
ticed by manufacturers of textiles
to-day than is generally known.
The public should demand and in
I sist upon the same protection as
that afforded by the pure food law.
When the bill which we advocate
becomes law. the public will know
exactly what il is buying. Cotton
tabecloths will be labeled cotton
and not linen" or If part cotton
and linen, the exact percentage of
each. Fabrics of all kinds will be
called by their right name, and not
what they are supposed to be, and
silk goods when adulterated, will
state so on the label with the kind
and amount of same.
1t is not the purpose of the laundry
men to improve the quality of Ameri-
can clothes and household fabrics.
What they want is that the blame for
poor material shall be placed where it
| belongs-on the maker. When a
woman buys linen towels, the laun-
drymen want her to know that they
are linen; when a man buys a ''linen"
shirt, the laundrymen want him to
know whether or not he is getting a
cheap imitation. They believe that by
/ this means customers will not be so
| apt to censure the laundrymen when
their garments come home from the
wash" mere ghosts of their former
selves.
In these days of pure food legis-
lation why not go step farther and
pass the pure fabrics measure?
Holy Rollers, who trampled on a man
to rid him of seven devils, have been
arrested. Evidently there are worse
! things than seven devils

The worst that's ever seen
Is when un1ucky Friday
Falls on the date thirteen.
No matter If you don't believe
In spooks and such, beware
This is the day when hoodoos throng
About you everywhere.
If you should meath a ladder pass
Bad luck will come from that,
The same as IL across your path
There rams big, black cat.
You'd better stay at home tonight
That's far the safest way,
To dodge the ghosts that walk around
This awful, awful day.
Laugh at bad luck signs. if you will,
That bring to many fright,
But take a gentle tip from me,

NM of Democratic criticism that

We owe 1t to California to protect

A vEGETARIAN,s VIEWS

price boycotters and vegetarians
A will find Joy in the announce
ment that Mrs. Margaret Clough
Montville. matron of the general hos
pital at Kansas City, has not eaten n
mouthful of meat in sixteen years and
for years has not touched an egg. AT
fifty-seven she says she feels as young
as school girl.
Mrs Montville is in fine health, but
that does not argue in behalf of a
purely vegetarian diet. So are thou
sands upon thousands of meat eaters
in robust health at fifty-seven.
Mrs Montvile is like many another
well-meaning person. She has found
something that she likes and which
Is apparently beneficial for her. There
fore, it is a panacea for all earthly ills
and humanity must adopt it or slowly
perish. Every dietician has his IA
vorite formula. Each is better than
the other. But the ordinary mortal
will go along on the food that has
made his race strong and enduring.
He will eat those things of which his
palate and his stomach mutually ap-
prove and chances are, other things
being equal, that he will live quite as
long as though he did any or all of the
things the food faddist urge.
AS for the majority of us, our only
reason for restraining from meat is a
fondness for other things as we'll, and
the high price of tenderloin steak.
