SAVE US FROM THE TINKERs

[From Philadelphia Public Ledger
With Secretary Redheld as chief of
all the trade tinkers still "doctrinaire-
ing. with Secretary Wilson proudly
proclaiming that the new seamen's bill
is "as epoch-making a document as
Magma Charta", one turns from the bed
lam of these official absurdities to a
little common sense and get it from
j. j. Hill, whose sole request is that
the Administration simply let business
alone to work out its salvation along
the line of natural laws.
As Mr.. Hill well puts it,
Neither the bribe of a subsidy nor
the dream producing narcotic of Gov
ernment ownership can give us our
share of the ocean carrying trade. In
the great world field we cannot sue
ceed by any artifice of law which has
only local application.
Sound business considerations, sane
economic Judgment and true patriotism
all call for the entire emancipation of
our shipping interests from the bonds
that have held it moored and rotting
in deserted waters. With freedom Il
may once more reflect glory on the
nation"
Indeed. what the country needs is to
be saved from the tlnkerers; those
who tinkered with the shipping laws
and with the tariff laws. Fine phrases
may fool some of the business people
some time but not for long. The Oh
ject lesson on the Pacific, where our
flag is disappearing, is a little too
obvious. If Congress and the majority
party do not come to their senses the
people will soon apply the needed cor

THE WAY OF THEM ALL

TIME way of the athlete is an un-
usually hard one. 1t is not so
bad to be forced out of the
race by younger men when one has
reached the natural limitations set by
advancing years, but to be down and
out" at an age when the blood still
burns with the fire of youth, when
the brain is still filed with the dreams
that only young men know is sad
fate indeed. There is Bender, the
Indian baseball pitcher as an exam
pie Last year he was mainstay OF
the champion Athletics in their con-
tests with the leaders of the National
League yesterday he was uncondi-
tionally released by the Baltimore Fed
erals. Young, vigorous, with his life
yet before him. he has been forced out
of his chosen work; relegated to the
scrap heap, as it were, at an age when
men in business and the professions
are Just coming into their own. The
career of even the most brilliant of
athletes is brief at best, after which
the front page knows them no more
and an erstwhile adoring public refers
to them as has -beens."

GRADE CROSSING TOLL

TIME importance of eliminating the
grade crossings of Pennsylvania
is illustrated by the statistics
lust completed for the Public Service
Commission. For the year ending
July 1, we are told. there were 246
accidents at crossings, 2sS persons
were injured and 10S killed, an in
crease of 20 in the list of fatalities
and 66 of those injured.
AS the highways are improved and
as automobiles become more numer-
Gus, road traffic is bound to grow
The grade crossings, no matter how
we'll protected, will become more and
more a menace to the safety of the
travelling public. To be sure the cost
of their removal will be gigantic and
it is not fair to either the railroads
or the public which in many in
stances will have to bear a part of
the expense, to set an early date for
their removal. But the Public Service
Commission is right in concluding that
human life must be considered before
financial outlay and that in the course
of time all the crossings must be elimi-
mated. 1t is only a matter of work.
ing out the proportion to be removed
each year and of refusing absolutely
to grant right of way over any rail-
road in Pennsylvania in future at

LINCOLN HIGHWAY FEEDER

n s Harrisburg is upon the map n
"A every other way it would ap-
pear to be a comparatively easy
matter to put 1t upon the official
route of the Lincoln Highway. or
course, it is too late to place the city

tional road, but the Telegraph has
been in correspondence with the Off

ton and they will cooperate with
Harrisburg in placing the city upon
Lincoln feeder which is the next best
arrangement to being on a direct

Inasmuch as the highways between
Lancaster and Harrisburg and this city
and Gettysburg are satisfactory and in
good condition an official detour of
the main Lincoln highway could easily
be arranged with the cooperation of
the Motor Club of Harrisburg and the
public generally.

tween the Telegraph and the Lincoln

WILDWOOD LAKE EXAMPLE

TOHN NOLAN, noted park and land
scape expert, of Cambridge, Mass,
will use Wildwood Park lake as an
example of beauty and utility COM
bined in municipal public works. All
over the United States Mr. Nolan will
carry the story of Wildwood, Incl
dentally giving to Harrisburg much
free but very high grade advertising
as an up-to-date, progressive city.
But the notice the Cambridge land
scape architect proposes to give the
Harrisburg lake is we'll worth while.
1t is doubtful if there is better ex-
ample anywhere of waste land turn
ed to good account than that Of
Wildwood, where a dismal swamp has
been transformed into a charming
pleasure lake while at the same time
the waters of Paxton creek are con-
fined so that in times of freshet they
are prevented from sweeping down
through the valley and submerging
hundreds of acres of otherwise valu-
able manufacturing sites.
The lake has paid for itself many
times over in flood prevention and is
responsible for the development of
a great manufacturing and shipping
center about Tenth and Market
streets on ground that was in former
years Stunned by those who feared
sudden inundation with consequent
loss of stock and interruption of
business.
1t is very likely in. the vars to
come this increase in property values
with its consequent effect on city
revenues, will more than pay for the
entire park system developed with
the money provided by recent loans.
This is broad statement but a little
figuring on present benefits and future
developments will show that it is not
overdrawn.

PATIENCE OF THE People
[LouisYille Courier-Lournal.l /

LLUuIsVIIIe OOur1er-J OurnaI.
That before it acts the govern ment
should possess itself of all needful in
formation touching the submarine at
tack upon the Arabic is right enough;
but the President should beware lest
he put too great a strain upon the
peoples patience and awaken doubt
of his intentions and distrust of his
character in the popular mind.
There is such a thing as excess of
deliberation. There Is also such a
thing as the appearance of vacillation
almost as hurtful as vacillation out
right. The issue between the United
States and Germany made a very
pretty quarrel as it stood. This latest
outrage is but an intensifying detail.
The Washington dispatches which af-
feet to speak for the administrat tion
carry an apologetic tone that CRATES
harshly upon the public scnsibility.

ONE WAR BLESSING

A T least one blessing has come
"A out Of the war. A year of con-
fiict has worked revolution in
the army surgeons method of deal
ing with the ordinary wounds of the
battlefield, which, on account of the
changed character of the projectiles
are more severe than in previous
wars. In almost every instance of
wounds from modern artillery, the
broken tissues are found by the sur
geon to have become infected by
scraps of cloth or other material, on
scale without precedent At the
start, most of the surgeons relied on
a stringent application of recognized
methods of antisepsis to combat this
infection. The tissues were deluged
with powerful germicides, even strong
carbolic acid being employed.
The success of this method, how
ever, was far from complete, and
gradually a new system, based on
well-known principles, but entirely
novel in application was substituted.
One Of the elementary principles
of physics is that If vessel contains
the solutions of varying strength di-
vtded from each other by an animal
membrane, liquid will pass from the
weaker to the stronger solution until
ultimately both are at the same
strength. This principle was brought
into action in the treatment of wounds
in order to stimulate the action of
the serum of the blood. which has
strong antiseptic properties. The
wound is filed with liquid solution
of salt and sodium citrate at a con-
siderably greater concentration than
that in the serum of the blood. Under
the influence of this liquid the serum
is poured out from the body into the
wound, tending both to cleanse it and
destroy the bacteria that are pres.
ent.
This system has the great advant-
age that it leaves the tissues unim-
paired by the fluids used for the
destruction of germs. 1.-THE full
recognition of the efficiency of this
method. introduced largely through
the efforts of Sir Almreth Wright
says medical writer. must be re-
garded as one of the most important

should receive not less than 10 per
cent OF the family income as her own
personal allowance, irrespective of the
provision for running the house. Pa
pers We're prepared showing the FEAST
bllity of such an allowance with in
comes or various amounts. 1t was
pretty clearly demonstrated that even
the laooring man, with a wage of two
dollars day, could afford to make
thls provision for the woman who
prepared his meals and cared for his
chlidren. The small allowance of $50
OF 500 year would enable the wife to
PROVIDE herself with respectable
snousn plain Clothing and relieve her
from the humiliation of begging her
husband to buy her a new pair of
shoes When she needed them.
Ihe man with an income of $40 o0D
a year can we'll afford to allow his wife
Sl,OOO year. This sum is not too
much to provide her with the clothes
suita BILE to his means and the contri-
putlons to charities, club dues, extra
entertainments and other incidental
expenses falling to a woman occupv-
ing such financial position.
Such an allowance 1t is argued will
prevent her from resorting to such
FEMININE subterfuges as carfare from
ner servants or securing cash from
her grocer which he charges upon her
monthly bill under the head of
"sundries." Both of these resources
are said to frequently have been used
by rich mems wives who have no al
lowance. az al

TTARRISBURG'S streets are well
lighted. An automobilist may
drive his car anywhere within
the city limits in perfect safety to
himself and others without the use of
the large headlights that are designed
primarily for dark country roads.
Many cities and towns forbid the
operation of the very bright lights in
their streets and Harrisburg should
do the same. They are both nuisance
and dangerous to pedestrians and to
the drivers of vehicles approaching
them
Every modern car is equipped with

have small oil lamps for town driving.
There is absolutely no excuse for the
search light in the city and the
thoughtful and careful motorist will
go beyond that and turn off his large
lamps while passing another car on
the road. This practice should be re-
quired by law. The glaring electric
lights have their uses, but they are
out of place either in town or when
traversing crowded thoroughfares at
night

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

VIZ THEN the war ends, all European
w countries will be organized on
a syndicate basis. Their indus
tries will be more centrally controlled.
They must get on their feet as soon
as possible. Foreign trade will be
needed more than ever and 1t must
be secured at the least possible ex-
pense."
This is a statement made in the
Manufacturers News by a western
man who stands high in the business
world. ]. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., re-
Gently returned from abroad, declares
that the European war can not last
more than(a year longer. Considering
these two statements, where will this
country get off at under a Demo-
cratic tariff for revenue only? A Re-
publican protective tariff law will be
required to hold back the flood of
foreign-made, syndicate-selling goods.
