LUNCHEON GUESTS
Must Have Your Heart in Your
Work Declares FIavel l..
Wright

An enthusiastic Chamber of Com
merce luncheon was held at noon
time to-day at the Harrisburg club,
and representative salesmen of this
city listened to splendid talk by
Flavel L. Wright, a salesman mem
Der of the chamber, and guest-of-
honor at the luncheon. He spoke in
glowing terms of Harrisburg and its
cordial attitude toward the statesmen.
and as former travelling man, now
located in the home office, he said that
he spoke from experience when he
declared that he had never received
more cordial welcome nor better
city.
Mr.. Wright described the essential
value of the salesman to the business
community as probably the most inn
portant link in the chain which con-
stitutes every commercial transaction,
from the manufactured product to
the necessary transportation, then to
the point where the duties of the
salesman begin. "A salesman must
have his heart in his. work. must be-
lteve in that work and in himself, and
must stand up for his city. and the
best that it represents" said Mr..
Wright, convincingly. Loud and fire.
HuCiib elPpiduSS Tic Spedh-
er's remarks, especially when he en-
phasized the faithful championing of
ones own city. Harrisburg is To-
Gated in the midst of limitless re-
sources, is on transportation lines
that reach out through the entire
country, and her people are actuated
in all things by love of fair play
and Improvement. A good salesman
should bear all this in mind when he
goes out on the road, remembering
that he is a part of the city and on
him, individually. rests the RESPONSE
bility of maintaining and building the
reputation of this fair city or ours
Friction of any sort means a misap-
plication of power. and that is a sin.
At this season of the year particularly
should we all pour the oil of good
fellowship on this economic machine
of which the salesman is an integral
part" continued the speaker.
When Mr.. Wright had concluded
his remarks, Ed. S. Herman, presi-
dent of the City Planning Commission
made the motion that this dinner to
the travelling men which has been so
successful be made an annual affair
and the motion was seconded and
passed with a, roar of approval. Each
salesman present, upon q suggestion
made by one of the members, rose and
announced his name and the firm that
he represented. and in this effective
way increased the get-together, good
fellowship spirit which has character
lied all these luncheons.

Motion Will Be Made to
Dismiss Appeal of Lamar
For Impersonating Officer

New York, Dec. z1.--United States
District Attorney Marshall was noti-
fed to-day that on January 10 the
solicitor general will make a motion
before the United States supreme
court to dismiss the appeal of David
Lamar who was convicted on Decem-
ber 3, 1914. of having impersonated
a federal officer in the person of Rep
resentative A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania, and was sentenced to
serve two years in the Atlanta peni-
tentiary.
Lamar, who is at liberty on bail.
appealed from the conviction on the
ground that a member of Congress
was not federal officer, but the cir
cult court of appeals ruled to the
contrary. The governments motion
to dismiss the appeal now pending
will be made because of this decision.
Mr.. Marshall said to-day that If
Lamar's appeal is dismissed his last
chance of escaping the penitentiary
will be lost.

Badges were required for the news
boys by the Royal ordinance.
The ordinance providing for the
erection OF city assessor was post
poned again following Mr.. Lynch's
effort to have Mr.. Royals amendment
as to qualifications stricken off. Mr..
Royal wanted the candidate to be q

Commissioner Taylor's ordinance to
transfer more than $500 worth of re-
ceipts in his department to the city

Messrs. Royal and Gorgas intimated
that the park commissioner was trying
to make this transfer appear like a
saving of his maintenance. The only
new ordinance was Mr.. Bowman's
