Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject OF building, for the readers OF this
paper On account OF his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he

Neat, attractive, five-room bunga-
lows are in great demand in towns,
villages, and in the outskirts of large
cities.
American ingenuity has met all diff
ficulties and adjusted this type Of
building to the satisfaction of build
ers and owners and the public in gen
eral, with the exception only OF covet-
Gus neighbors who are not fortunate
enough to own bungalows.
The perspective and floor plan here
with illustrated shows a bungalow
type of residence intended for a COM
paratively narrow lot that has consid-
cradle depth.
The general arrangement is to place
the house about twenty feet back from
the street to look well on the lot.
The depth Of the house is Al feet 6
inches, which brings the rear Of the
building about sixty feet from the
street line.
A bungalow setting requires consid-

and handsome shrubbery to complete
the picture.

THE FARLEY RESOLUTION

DITTSBURGH is very properly op-
posed to the Farley resolution
now in the hands of the Gov
ernor calling for a commission to in
vestigate the need of branch of the
State Capitol in Philadelphia.
With the revenues of the State at
low ebb and the needs of government
constantly increasing, with a Capitol
improvement under way here and the
necessity near at hand for the building
of an addition to the present Capitol,
the Farley resolution is at this time
especially ill-advised.
It is true that there are and will be
always certain offices of the State gov
ernment in Philadelphia. So there
are in Pittsburgh. It is not likely that
Philadelphia would be content with a
building costing much less than a mill
lion dollars. If such a building for
Philadelphia, why not one as we'll for
Pittsburgh? And why not for Scran-
ton or Erie? The interest on a million
dollars would far more than defray the
expenses of all the offices that will be
required for State purposes outside of
Harrisburg in any city of the Com
monwealth and there Is no call for a
branch Capitol anywhere. Such an
institution would only lead to needless
expense and much confusion.

RURAL MAIL DECENTRALIZATION

the people of that section, and the
several thousand patrons of the two
local banks who find 1t convenient to
bank by mail with a transit of but a
few hours required to land their
money in steel vaults. An order has
been issued to reduce the routes to
three in number increase their dis
tance to thirty-two miles, and mail
that heretofore travelled four miles

miles to arrive at the same destination.
Moreover, the carriers will not be
physically able to cover the distance
In seasons of bad roads. In snow
storms mail will be a curiosity to pa
irons depending upon the Columbia
and Port Deposit Railroad, and the
highways that drift, while the parcel
post carriers will have to increase the
size of their vehicles and the number
OF their horses to command more pay.
OF course. The patrons of these routes
are up in arms, and, while some of
them think best to petition for a gen
eral restoration of the old country post
oftices, others would protest to the
department, and the indignation of the
patrons and their demands will in all
probability find expression in a public
meeting, which will likely be held in
Quarryville in the very near future"

.NEoRGE HENsEL, the Quarry
NJ vile philosopher. has this to
say of the Generalization of the
rural free delivery service:
"A great deal of excitement and
righteous indignation has been aroused
throughout the rural districts by the
action of the postal authorities in
cutting down the number of rural
routes and adding many miles to
routes already too long. The very
laudable purpose of the government
is to economic, which Uncle Sam fire.
quently does by saving at the bung to
leave out at the spigot, and Lancaster
city patrons of that office are soon to
look with awe upon a public building
to be erected which is to cost several
hundred thousand dollars, while a
measly $4,000 a year is to be saved
in the county at the positive inconven-
fence and decided disadvantage-na
even financial loss-of hundreds of
rural patrons of the postal service.
This process of economizing it not
confined to this county alone, but
there's no more striking illustration of
its impracticability than is to be seen
in the lower end, where for years five
rural routes have radiated from Quar-
ryville, affording splendid service to

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 25.
GOOD FOR CAMP HILL

TAMP HILL evidently has imbibed
the spirit of public improve
ment that has done so much in
recent years for Harrisburg. 1t is re-
ported that the paving loan of $50 1000,
which has been before council for
some time, for the purpose of provid-
ing funds for the paving of Market
street, will be passed with small oppo-
sition at the special election on June IL.
Automobilists know that the high
ways of the small towns of Pennsyl-
vania are almost invariably in worse
condition than the country roads. In
this Camp Hill is no exception. In
deed, there are very few towns in
which the main street is in such de-
plorable condition as in the cross
river suburb. But the case is not
hopeless. since the people realize the
need of improvement and are setting
about to accomplish it.
Camp Hill is one of the prettiest
suburbs within many miles of Har-
risburg. 1t has fine homes and spa
cious lawns, but few of the thousands
Oi people WHO pass tnFOuSn lneTe now
have any time to look for anything
but the bumps in the road. The town
has been long famous for its splendid
sidewalks. Add to these and its other
attractions a paved street through the
heart of the borough and the place
will become known from one end of
the State to the other.
Possibly. also, the enterprise of
Camp Hill viii bestir the State High
way Department to steps looking
toward the proper repair of the road
between Camp Hill and Lemoyne
bridge. The property owners of the
township are still paying State aid
taxes for its construction. but so little
has been done to keep it up since it
was built that 1t is now in as bad con-
dition as before it was improved and
is rapidly nearing total ruin that will
necessitate an expenditure of thou
sands of dollars for reconstruction
from foundation up.

LORD KITCHENER LOOKS
TO SCHWAB FOR HELP

Little wonder that the Allies are
short of ammunition when the entire
daily output of the Bethlehem Steel
Company of 35, 900 shrapnel shells and
$4,000 one-pounders are consumed in
a single day on the firing line.
British ammunition and ordnance
contracts given by Lord Kitchener to
the Bethlehem Steel Works have risen
to upwards of 0,000,000. His latest
order to the big Schwab plant is for
lyddite shells, to be used against the
German trenches in Flanders.
The order is for 100000 shells
four inches in diameter, to be deliver
ed at the rate of 1000 a day for the
next ESQ days. Captain Scott. Brit
ish ordnance officer, who is here as in
spector of the lyddite shells, in the
making and handling of which he is an
expert, has told of the successful tests
of sample shells. A mile and half
away, in a field on hillside, were
seven cows, scattered over an era. of
about an acre.
A single shell was planted as near
ly as possible in the midst of them,
and it killed them all. So powerful
is the explosive that the crucible steel
shell does not burst into fragments,
but eXplodeS into an impalpable pow
der. 1t is said this shell means death
to any living thing within fifty yards
of where it bursts.
The Baldwin extensions at Eddy
stone are being made not primarily
for the manufacture of shells. The
Baldwins have transformed their old
cylinder department in their main
plant in Philadelphia into a machine
shop for shells, and the cylinder de-
partment is being removed to Eddy
stone.
Subcontracts for turning the shells
have been let to nearly every worth
while machine shop in this and other
States, including the Carpenter Steel
plant, at Reading; the Ingersoll, at
| Easton; the Carnegie shops, at Pitts
burgh. and a number of plants in New
England. After being machined they
are shipped to Redington, where on its
proving grounds the Bethlehem Steel
! Company has established a fuse fac
tory. where the shells are loaded
| About 1000 girls, men and boys are
employed at the loading plant. The
force will soon be increased to 1000
So as to increase the capacity to
furnish $4,000 shells a day, a new

EGGS AND oPULENCE
500 100000 Presented the Country
Last Year by the Hens

Last Year by the Hens
To lot of individuals. not how
ever, including the hens, it is pleas
ant to read that the egg crop of the
country during the year past amounted
to 500, 100000. exceeding the average
wheat crop of the past 10 years. Par
ticularly elated is the householder who
finds on visiting the hennery of his
accustomed and trusted purveyor of
| fresh laid eggs that the price has gone
up to So cents dozen.
| 1t may be case of pride to the lit
tie dominicker hen, which lays an egg
a day and goes barefoot. to read that
she is one of the greatest and the
most dependable contributors to the
nations prosperity. Were it not fdN
I her a byproduct of agriculture would
not be the profitable thing it is. The
| little dominicker hen is not assertive,
except on occasions. But she knows
full we'll that her owner would. but for
her, still be scratching his slow and
| laborious way about the country be-
hind a spawned horse or two, instead
of luxuriously progressing in a car
smoothly propelled by gasoline.
! The farmer of to-day is not the
farmer of a decade ago. Farming is
polite and effeminate occupation
compared with the old order. The
farmer who now goes to town in a
seven passenger car and has a tennis
court on the front lawn does not face
the hard knocks and the narrow life
that featured the'old order. Existence
in the country. with the better roads
the social centers, the telephones. and
one thing and another is not what II
used to be. The farmer, of course
takes credit for this to himself, point
i ing to his progressiveness, his improv-
ed methods, his increased efficiency
keeping pace with the times. But the
little dominicker hen knows all the
time that il she once stopped laying
for a year there would be a different
story to tell.-Newark news.

HELP FOR CoNYICTs

nUBLIC sentiment favors modern
treatment of the criminals of the
State. Instead of mere incarcera-
ton, which means loss of health and
every inspiration to a better life, the
present theory of those who have
made a study of criminology is DEM
onstrated in the significant fact that
forty prisoners in the Eastern Peni-
tentiary at Philadelphia are studying
agriculture by correspondence. Warden
Robert McKenty believes the number
of students will be largely increased.
Complete lessons. popularized by ex-
perts at State College. are sent to the
students, together with sets of ques-
tions and answers. Warden McKenty
then superVises the work of the con-
Wet students.
This is somewhat in line with the
theory of Warden Francies, of the
Western Penitentiary. who is now in

CURLING THE MEDDLEsoME
[Philadelphia INQUIRER. ]


All sorts of bills aimed at the jitney
have been considered by the Legis-
lature and have given way to a propo-
sition to allow city councilmen to do
all the necessary regulating. The prin-
ciple involved is important. 1t con-
cedes that cities are quite competent to
manage their own affairs without the
everlasting interference of Harrisburg.
There is a meddlesome spirit abroad
which is constantly calling for the
passage of new laws that are neither
necessary nor desirable. 1t is all very
we'll to go to the State lawmakers when
we lack authority or need to be advised
Of our rights, but there is no sense in
running to the State capital for every
trivial cause.
Curb the meddlesome spirit; let mu-
inequalities attend to their own busi-
ness. The nearer the city comes to
home rule the better IL is going to be
off and everybody in 1t.

PREPAREDNESS MEANS PEACE

CECRETARY OF WAR GARRI-
y SONS address at the Mohonk
conference and the statements
of President Hibben, of Princeton, and
that of President Hadley, of Yale, all
indicate the trend of sentiment in this
country toward preparedness on the
part of the United States for any
eventuality. We are a peaceful ma
ton, but that does not argue that we
shall be unprepared for war. Prepar-
alton in a republic like ours is the
most effective guarantee of peace.
Unless we be ready for anything that
may transpire we are likely to invite
trouble infinitely more serious than
anything that might otherwise occur
in the event of International contro-
versy.
The sentiment of the people is now
decidedly in favor of a preparedness
which will assure a wholesome respect
for our flag and our national rights
everywhere. This form of prepared
ness must manifest itself in strong
navy and an army commensurate with
the needs of our enormous interests at
home and abroad.
There is no disposition to place a
chip on our shoulder and go out hunt
ing for trouble; but there is an in
creasingly vigorous demand for prepa-
ration that will safeguard the ma
ton against such conditions as are
now devastating Europe. Sanity is
not confined simply to a peaceful at
titude. We must be prepared for the
national defense and effective prepa-
ration will almost certainly eliminate
the very danger that our ultra-peace
advocates fear.
There is throughout Europe a grow
ing respect for American ideals. There
is no longer. except in certain impe-
rialistic quarters, contemptuous atti.
tude of indifference to us and the no.
ton that we are simply a nation ot
money-getters is giving way to an ap.
probation of the generous impulse.
which control our national policies
Many of our foreign-b born citizens re,
alize better than any others of oui
population how sincere we are in oul
feeling of neighborliness toward the
other peoples Of the world.
Perhaps nothing is so striking al
showing the changed attitude of man!

WHY NOT HERE .?

.VXTE have with us in Harrisburg
w this week the distinguished
gentlemen comprising the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania. They
will sit in the hearing of cases in the
handsome rooms of the court at the
Capitol during a part of the present
week. But why shouldn't they sit at
the seat of government permanently? q?
There was a time, perhaps, when,
by reason of conditions which no
longer exist, it was necessary for the
higher court to sit in several places
at different seasons of the year or on
different dates. but there is now nc
occasion for holding sessions of the
Supreme Court outside the Capital.
Now that there is an intermediate
| court which holds sessions at different
places throughout the year, the argu-
ment in favor of permanent sitting of
the Supreme Court at Harrisburg is
immeasurably strengthened.
