We cannot help believing that Callahan was right in his contention at the last meeting of the City Council
 Callahan took the stand that bid given on work for the city should stand as it wamade and that the eessu bidder should stand by his Econrct for the very good and sufficient that other bidders had been prevented from getting the work Callahan also objected to the closing up of the boxes before inspection
 However the rest of the Council disagreed with Callahan, and the extra compensation voted for the extra work that the Chief of Police nspeced??? after the sewer was closed up. Now Callahan may be wrong and the ohe members of the Council right but in this in others where Callahan has stood watch over the Cis dollars the people would need considerable explaining to make tn the ss of the majority even if the amount was small

Acting President W. J. Battle, University of Texas, and Dr. Hen ry w. Harper, dean of the college of graduates and professor Of chemistry at the university, have issued clements denying the charge made by Joseph Weldon Bailey, former U. S..Senater in a recent speech at San Antonio that the University of Texas was "a hot bed of Socialism.
 In his statement President Battle said that the teacher to whom Bailey referred was pr. l.. M. Keasbey, who, Battle stated, had opposed Bailey in a speak ing campaign in Arizona, when that state adopted the initiative, referendum and recall and Bailey opposed it. It was further stated that the campaign was Waged hotly and that since the adoption ot the initiative, referendum and recall by Arizona, Bailey had felt animosity toward Dr. Keasbey.
 As for the political views of the state university faculty mem bers, poll would show that they are strongly Wilson Democrats if , such term can be used to ex- press Democratic belief Howev. yer there are others who .may nave different beliefs, just as we
 have some Germans among the tacu ty who are individually pro German and others who favor the allies.
 The same charge has been made in practically every state institu- tion of the country.

Palace Theatre To-day

The sixth episode of the Universal
Special Feature Serial, "The Black
Box" in which Herbert Rawlinson as
Sanford Quest and Anna Little as Le-
nora enact the leading roles, is show
ing to-day at the Palace theatre. 1t
relates the further thrilling adventures
of Quest, who is about to learn Le-
nora g hiding place from Craig when
fire compels both men to escape down
a rope ladder. Lenora finally escapes
from her attic prison and Laura is re-
leased from Jail. The two Gallaghers
are caught and sentenced to prison and
Quest is freed by Inspector French
from the charge of murder made against
him. This wonderful detective story,
written by E. Phillips Oppenheim, is
creating much comment among movie
fans. Full of mystery, it keeps the
spectator on edge wondering what will
happen next and how the detective will
handle each puzzling situation. The
mysterious workings Of "The Unseen
Terror are well night uncanny. The
Palace is the only theatre where this
picture can be seen in or near Harris
burg. Adv

Bv Associated Pyess

New York, May IL (wall Street,
Normal conditions prevailed during
to-day's early dealings in the stock
market. The undertone was steady,
with narrow price changes in war spe-
eialties, like Bethlehem Steel, Amer
lean Locomotive and Westinghouse,
which rose to almost 2 points. U. S.
Steel opened very slight advance, but
soon reacted, this course being fol.
lowed later by other active issues, in
Guiding Amalgamated Copper, Reading
and Canadian Pacific. Local transac-
tions were strong. Trading was light
and obviously professional.
Business fell away in marked manner
after the first hour, but prices recov-
cred from their early declines. Inter
borough common was the most active
feature of the trading. Public interest
was at low ebb and the professional
element held off when word came from
Washington that the President had de-
cided upon policy in connection with
the sinking of the Lusitania.

BU Associated Press.

Cleveland, o., May 12.-The con.

warning nations, is able to point the
way to an effective international court

is, first, to arouse the American public
to consciousness of the possibilities in
such tribunal and congress. The time

If preliminary plans are carried out,
the congress will take no steps that
would gain for it the name of "peace

be ignored and means for ending the
the development of an international
court will receive the sole attention of
the speakers, who include former Presi.

The Pedoneter Habit 10 Splendid One

to Cultivate.
A famous New York doctor was call
ed upon some months ago by patient
who presented an appearance Of ILL
ness, but with whom he could find
nothing the matter Questioning dis
closed the fact that he had not taken
regular physical exercise for years.
That's your trouble" remarked the
wise physician. 'I'll write you a pre-
scription." When he got outside the
office the patient opened the bit Of pa
per and read, Get pedometer and
bring it back to me in three weeks
with the indicator pointing to 100
miles," When the patient returned at
the time mentioned the doctor, without
making an examination, told him he
need not come back any more. His
looks demonstrated the efficacy of the
treatment. But he was counseled to
persevere in keeping the pedometer
busy and thereby save many a doc
tors fee.
There are imaginative patients, most
Of whose troubles may be traced to
the thermometer habit" They are
constantly taking their temperature,
and their feelings are regulated by
their discoveries. A splendid substi-
tute is the "pedometer habit" Instead
of continually fusslng to keep his tenn
perature below 100. for instance, the
possessor of one of these clever con-
trivances can try how long 1t takes to
send the pedometer above that figure.
Lots of fun is to be obtained from as.
certaining distances between various
points by walking them. Incidentally
the liver gets a good shaking up, the
lungs receive the fresh air for the lack
of which they have been starving, and
the enthusiastic pedestrian feels a new
Joy of living. 1t s not convenient for
all to play that most excellent Of pas
times-golf. But the pedometer game
is available to most, and it renders in
teresting what is. after all. a rather
monotonous form Of exercise.-Pitts-
