Round About
Pennsylvania

In the City of Brotherly Love and
remarkably astute lawyers, it has been
suggested that the street cleaning de-
partment's men be kept busy in the
ments. Judging from what we know
of Philadelphians, the average citizen
has enough spare sand of his own that
he, could easily spread 1t over his own
sidewalk without buriening the city
with this extra expense.
Speaking of Pennsylvania birth rec
crds, John Linweber, a farmer near
Leechburg, Pa, owns three cows which
gave birth to five calves in one day.
Two of the cows bore twins. No, there

EARLY START DESIRABLE

- TOW that the smoke of battle has
M somewhat cleared away in city
council chamber and council
men and the mayor have
reached something of an understand
ing as to the attitude of each toward
the problem of providing employment
for idle workmen, it is to be hoped
that both sides will unite in an effort
to get the public improvements pro-
posed for this year under under way at
the earliest possible date.
Councils have been doing what
they could to keep men at work dur
ing the winter, but the possibilities in
this line naturally have been limited.
They are as desirous as anybody of
providing jobs for the unemployed as
we'll may be understood from the fact
that most of them will be candidates
for reelection next Fall, it is un-
derstood. and might be supposed to
make friends wherever possible; and
there is none so grateful as the idle
man who has been given an opportun-
ity to earn money. Indeed, it has
been the practice of critics to accuse
men in public life of creating too many
jobs for just that purpose, and it is
doubtful if ever before in the history
of the city Councilmen were accused,
as the mayor accused his colleagues
the other day, of being unwilling to
increase the working force from whom
they might expect to derive votes at
election time.
Warm weather is now fast ap-
preaching and every possible arrange
ment should be made looking toward
vast reopening of the public work
at the very first minute weather con-
ditions will permit. Now is the time
to plan the preliminaries. There can
be no reason for delay and from signs
now apparent it is not likely there will
be any ground for criticism on this
score

SCOUTING FOR THE SCOUTS

which owes its
- place in the world to the fact
= that it is a practical community,
is about to try out a plan that
should be watched with the greatest
interest by Harrisburg. The city at
the confluence of the two great west
ern rivers of Pennsylvania is now suf-
fering along with the rest of us from
icy pavements. 1t apparently has the
same percentage of people who do not
give a rap about the condition of
their pavements that Harrisburg en-
joys and its efforts to get at them
have probably been as successful as
those made here when ice is on the
pavements.
Now it is proposed to call the Boy
Scouts to aid. The city has a large
number of strenuous youths and the
scheme is to have the Scouts scout for
the ice-covered pavement that spreads
its trap for the man who thinketh he
can walk without giving heed to his
footsteps. When they have found it
Scouts will telephone to the police
station. 1t is a great plan and some
of the Pittsburgh police will doubt
less welcome it. Such a system would
give the boys something to do, take
burdens off the "coppers" and make

It's easy to understand why
Creams and lotions only get at the
surface, while Stuart's Calcium Wa
fers go right into the blood and in
stead of a sluggish deposit in the skin
the impurities that cause skin dis
eases are destroyed in the perspiration
that is exhaled through the pores in
the form of invisible vapor. You'll
never have a good complexion without
pure blood, but you positively will
have a fine, beautiful complexion if
you use Stuarts Calcium Waters.
They contain no poisonous drug of
any kind, are perfectly harmless and
can be taken with absolute freedom,
and they work almost like magic. CAL
cium Sulphide, their principal ingredi-
ent. is the greatest blood-cleanser
known to science.
No matter how bad your skin may
be, Stuart's Calcium Waters will
quickly work wonders with it. It's
goodby to blackheads, pimples, acne,
boils, rash, eczema and dirty "filled-

of Stuart's Calcium Waters at any drug

Inquiries or Customers I?

Some manufacturers compute
the value of their advertising
on the number of inquiries It
produces.
Retailers measure advertising
value by actual customers and
actual sales.
That is why the retailer in
tising.
1t sends customers to his store
and sells the goods.
When it is the manufacturer
advertising in the local news
paper that is sending those GUS
toners that retailer is naturally
favorable to that manufacturer
and his goods. He shows the
goods and sells them.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1e
LINCoLN's GETTYSBURG SPECIE

TOURSCORE AND SEVEN years
ago our fathers brought forth
upon this continent a new ma
tIOn conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in a great civil war. testing
whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure.
We are met on great battlefield of
that war. We have come to dedicate
a portion of that field as n final resting
place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. 1t is
altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot
dedicate. we cannot cOnsecrate. We can
not halIow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here
have consecrated it far above our
power to add or to detract. The world
will little note nor long remember what
We say here. burt it can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for us, the
living, rather to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobIy adj
Vanced.
1t is rather for us to he here dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining: be-
fore us; that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion; that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation under
God shall have n n>w birth of freedom,
and that government of the people, by
the peoDIe and for the people shall not
perish from the earth.

THE KISS

(Sara Teasdale in Harper's Magazine)
Before you kissed me only winds of
heaven
Had kissed me, and the tenderness
of rain
Now you have come. how can I care
for kisses
Like theirs again?
I sought the sea, she sent her winds to
meet me,
They surged about me singing of
the South
I turned my head away to keep still
holy
Your kiss upon my mouth.
And swift sweet rains of shining April
weather
Found not my lips where living
kisses are;
bowed my head lest they put out
my glory
AS rain puts out star.
1 ammy loves and he is mine forever,
Sealed with seal and safe for ever
more
Think you that could let a beggar
enter
Where a king stood before?

CLEARING THE RIVER FRONT

THE ordinance introduced in coun-
ell a day or two ago by Com
= missioner Bowman, providing
for the construction of coal
wharfs for the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company adjacent to the filter
plant, ought to open the way for the
removal of the proposed coal wharfs
at the foot of Market street. The cleo
trio company is by far the greatest
local excavator of river coal and the
fact that it will soon cease to use the
Market street landing place should en-
a BILE the city to concentrate all of the
wharves in the lower end of town
where it is now proposed to land a
portion of the fuel. This would clear
up a centrally located and much used
section of the River Front and would
permit an uninterrupted walk along
the front steps, practically, from Pax
ton to Maclay streets, following the
improvement of the "Hardscrabble'
district.
The Market street wharves lie di-
rectly in the vision of automobile tour
ing parties coming into Harrisburg by
way of the river bridges. More and
more the Capital City of Pennsylvania
is becoming one of the picture spots
of the State. Our River Front i'm
provements are the envy of all visitors
and nothing should be left undone to
remove the last unsightly spot from
this otherwise unrivaIed landscape. 1t
is to be hoped that council will take
up the matter as soon as possible in
order to make any readjustments that
may be necessary in the construction
work plans now under way.

By Wing DinEer

1t takes more than money,

And sternness in tone:

For the conduct of business
To make a real man.

And read once again
His poem titled "If''-

What cfap must have in him
To be a real man
Go out and stick to them
AS much as you can.
And IL you would have an

That stuck pretty closely
In joy and in strife
To what Kipling outlines
None better" I'd say,
Than Lincoln, whose birthday
We observe to-day.

1t is understood that Representa-

intends to adG to the list of election
bills designed to prevent fusion, which
Mr.. Kits, of Erie, also plans to en-
large. One of the aims of the present
Legislature appears to be to get rid of
the opportunities of men of small po-
litical influence to make trouble and
to get into power by rump nomi-
nations. stickers and the like. BY the
terms of the proposed Adams bill can
didates will be confined to one nomi-
nation and member of one party will
not be permitted to file papers to enter
the primary of another party. After
nomination he would not permit nomi-
nees to withdraw. death being the
only cause for a vacancy This is
now the law on the nonpartisan ballot.
1t is also the intention of the Repub-
lican state organization to have legis-
lation preventing fusion. The bills are
now being drawn in Philadelphia and
if they are ready Senator James p.

elections committee. will introduce
them Monday night

Frank NJ. Wallace. of Erie, a
member of the Public Service Com
mission. will be confirmed by the Sen
ate, and it will be followed by his al
most immediate retirement. He has
desired to resign for long time, but
since the question of his confirmation
has arisen his friends think it would
be fair for the Senate to confirm him
and then let him retire. He is con-
sidered one of the most useful men,
bers of the commission.
Senators say that it is settled that
nothing will be done with the Public
Service nominations until after the
Legislature reconvenes on March l.
During this week the leaders of the
Senate have been considering recess
appointments, and they find that it is
a delicate matter to refuse to confirm
men appointed by a former Republi-
can Governor unless some very good
reason can be given for such action.
When Mr.. Wallace retires, Erie will
no doubt put forward a candidate as
his successor on the commission on the
ground that section of the State
is entitled to representation. The two
men mentioned are ex-Auditor General
A E. Slsson and John S. Killing, of
Erie. The latter is a Democrat, but
close friend of the Governor. and
also we'll liked by all political elements
in Erie. Both men are lawyers.
There is a possibility the Senate
will take up some of the other recess
appointments next week. The men
most discussed for confirmation are
Banking Commissioner w. II. Smith
and John c. Groome. superintendent of
the State police. Captain Groome had
a long conference with the Governor
this morning. Commissioner Smith
has the support of all the financial in
stitutions of the State because of his
good work in the department.

est Democrat outside of Pennsylvania

ment to John r. Bracken. of Carnegie.
| AS a result Representative Palmer is
nonplussed. He asserted that he is

how Mr.. Bracken won the support of

has that notable back of him.
