THE NEW CASTLE NEWS
Things to Forget

Things to Forget
Forget the SANDER you have heard,
Forget the hasty, unkind word.
Forget the quarrel and the cause,
Forget the whole affair, because
Forgetting is the only way.
Forget the storm of yesterday,
Forget the chap whose sour face
Forgets to smile in any place,
Forget the trials you have had,
Forget the weather if it's bad,
Forget the knocker. he's q freak,
Forget him seven days week.
Forget you're not a millionaire,
Forget the gray streaks in your hair.
Forget the home team lost the game,
Forget the pitcher was to blame.
Forget the coffee when it's cold,
Forget the kick, forget to scold.
Forget the plumbers awful charge,
Forget the iceman's bill is large.
Forget the coalman and his (weighs)
Forget the heat in summer days.
Forget wherever you may roam,
Forget the duck who wrote this poem.
Forget that he, in social bliss,
Forgot himself when he wrote this.
Forget to ever get the blues,
But don't forget to read the News.

A UNIFORM type system is one
~ of the results of the National
- Congress for the Blind which has
just been held in San Francisco. For
ten years q committee, composed
chiefly of blind persons, has been en-
gagged in the work of combining the
best features of the five distinct kinds
of type heretofore in use. The COM
pletion of this task, and the final
adoption of the new system, will prove
a great boon to the $4,000 blind per-
sons in the United States. Primers
and other books in the new type are
now being made and will soon be
available Those who are able to read
either Braille or Point readily will find
no difficulty with the new type, and
it will be more simple for beginners
than any now in use.
No division in the great Library of
Congress at Washington is accom-
plishing greater good than that devoted
to the interests Of the blind. 1t has
been reorganized and greatly extended
under the administration of Mrs.

RHETORICAL sIDEsTEpPING

DRESIDENT WILSON'S address
i before the Manhattan Club OF
New York was undoubtedly q
mastery piece of rhetoric and oratory.
and within its limitations is excellent
in that he promises his support of
Secretary of War Garrison's program
for army and navy expansion and the
placing of this country on a footing
of preparedness capable of maintain
ing the dignity of the nation and the
respect which it has heretofore COM
manded among all the nations of the
world.
But a careful examination and
analysis of the Presidents remarks
fail to reveal any desire to evoke a
discussion of commercial prosperity or
the relations to which in a business
way it is essential 1t is all very well
and no one will for minute
deprecate the importance of what the
President has said of the need for de-
tense and the ambitions of this coun-
try-"to be free and prosperous our
selves. as well as to be the friend and

free or desire freedom the world

interests of the country want is some
guarantee that in this excellent pro-
gram the domestic interests shall also
have little attention and considera-
tion given to their defense.
The President is to be commended
upon his declaration in support of the
solution of the defense problem,
which must certainly satisfy even
those who differ radically on the at.
titude which the United States should
take on the question of military pre-
paredness, but doesn't it SAVIOR the
least bit of desire to cement all the
factions which stood out against the
Presidents former attitude of inactive
uncertainty by giving them what they
want and cleverly pulling the WOO
over their eyes by absolutely ignoring
the most vital problem-yes, more

PLEDGES TO TIE PEOPLE

TAKOR- ELECT SMITH OF Phila-
vi dolphia is greatly interested in
parks and Fairgrounds and
will make their development one of
the active policies of his administra-
ton. Mayor Blankenburg's successor
also expects TO push with vigor an
advertising propaganda which will
bring to the attention of the world
the advantages of Philadelphia as Il
business and industrial center. lie
believes that the city has been side
tracked long enough and that it
should now get into the sun. Also, 1t
is his opinion that there are poten-
tialities in the city for great develop
ment and he proposes in every practi-
cal way to bring the city persistently
before the manufacturing and COM
mercial interests of the country.
The Mayor elect has likewise de-
clared against any activity of the
police i'll politics. In fact, he pro-
claims that any policeman meddling
in politics will be discharged in such
a way as to. debar him from future
service in the department. He also
proposes to stand by his prediction
pledges TO the people and to get out
of the atmosphere of political con-
troversy and inaction.
What the new mayor of Philadel-
phia proposes to do is precisely what
the mayor of every other city should
do. Having been elected by the peo-
pie it is his business to promote in
every legitimate way the interests
which have been entrusted to his care
and supervision. The people will not
expect him to play politics nor will
they overlook the doing of those
things which initiate against the pros
perity of the community.
Here in Harrisburg the mayor-elect
has an unusual opportunity to still
further place the city in a favorable
light before the world. Mayor Meals
has already declared to some extent
his policies and the people will wait
with interest their working out in the
administration of the next four years.

the purpose of famiiarizing the pub

State Government with the work Of
the separate departments which have

State engineering projects, natural
resources and industries. There will
be talks by the heads of the various
departments, descriptive of the work
under their control and its relation
to the public. The program includes
addresses upon subjects relating to
the work of the several branches of
the State government by distinguished
speakers.
Not the least interesting feature OF
the conference will be a discussion by
competent authorities of the relation
OF this city to the State in the matter
of the development through proper
landscape designing of the property
now covered by the old Capitol
grounds and the zone embracing the
park extension eastwardly. 1t is ex-

matter will have an important bear

CATHOLIC FEELING
OVER CARRANZA
Literary Digest. ]

Despite the fact that the Carranza
government now recognized by Presi-
dent Wilson, has given its pledge to
respect everybodys life, property, and
religious beliefs without other limi-
tations than the preservation of pub
lie order and the observance of tho in
stitutlons in accordance with the laws
in force and the Constitution of the Re
public" the officials of the Wilson Ad-
ministration are said to know that lin
fluential Catholic interests in this coun-
try do not regard this pledge as suf-
ficient" The Catholic view as under
stood in Washington, so a dispatch to
the New York sun makes clear, is that
"CarranZa's pledges leave it altogether
to his own whim as to the degree of
religious tolerance which he will ex-
tend" Furthermore, the pledge, it is
contended, while holding out some
promise OF religious liberty to the in
dividual does not contain satisfactory
assurances of Carranzas future atti-
tude toward religious orders in Mexico
or toward the priests and nuns" Cath
oIics insist that more definite pied ges
are necessary before they can entertain
hope for real tolerance, and they de-
sire the State Department to obtain
from Carranza definite assurances of
the religious tolerance in Mexico such
as exists in the United States"

THE NOISE MAKER

a MONG those who are waging n
Mrs. Imogene Oakley, who is
chairman of the committee on noise
of the American Civic Association.
This excellent woman has given much
study to the noise nuisance and in her
desire to find out how a city could
best serve its working class she asked
a meeting of women workers of
Philadelphia to tell her what they
consider the greatest evil in their
crowded tenement life. It is stated
that one woman arose, and speaking
for the others declared:
What we can not stand is the
noise. 1t never stops. 1t is killing
us. We work hard all day and need
sleep and rest at night. No one
can sleep till midnight and all the
noise begins again at five. Many
of us have husbands who work all
night and must get their sleep
during the day. but they get no
sound sleep with all the noise that
goes on about them. You can get
away from the noise during the
summer, but we can not. We are
right here in the middle of II all our
lives. Now what can your Civic
Club do for us?
OF course, Mrs. Oakley had to tell
this poor woman that the club could
do nothing: that there were no laws
against useless noise in Philadelphia;
that the only recourse was an appeal
to a magistrate under the general law
of nuisance. Then began the cam
paign against the useless noises. Mrs.
Oakley found through her own per-
scnal investigation that between FIVE In
the morning and midnight she heard
a useless and preventable noise on an
average of every five minutes. Let
ters came to her from many persons
adding to her own list of useless
noises and the propaganda against the
noise evil got real start.
1t is no impractical campaign which
Mrs Oakley is conducting. She
realizes that there are some noises
which are unavoidable at present, but
it is her conviction that most of the
noises which now disturb and annoy
and worry and result in nervous
breakdowns may be overcome.
We, of Harrisburg, have endured
and continue to endure lot of racket
which is absolutely without excuse or
reason. Unnecessary whistling of
locomotives, the banging and changing
of bells of every sort. the screeching
of the automobile horn, the everlast-
ing and preventable uproar of the
unmuffled motor, the piercing siren
OF the peanut vender, the jangling bell
of the ice cream salesman, and many
other inventions of the noise maker
might be suppressed without detri-
ment to the interests of anyone.
We are not familiar with the efforts
of the Civic Club in this direction, but
the good women composing this or
ganization might find in this avenue
OF activity opportunity for perform
ing a great public service.

ANDSTORM-KEMDALL
WORKING At DEPTH
500 LEVEL AND IN UPPER
CONTACT AREA

In the Sandstorm-Kendall Consol-
idated property some new work has
lately been started on the 500-foot
level, where q drift is being ad-
vancec to explore ground in which
seams of ore have been exposed in
the big vein. The result of work at
this point encourages the belief that
commercial ore will be found in
further exploring the vein at this
depth. A winze has been sunk for
some distance below the 500-foot lev
ell and from this Wine, at a depth
of about $50 feet from the surface,
a crcsscut was extended to the hang
ing wall, but has exposed only ma
terial of comparatively low grade.
Development continues on the
35O-foot level, where drifts are fol-
lowing the contact between the
Sandstone rhyolite and Midtown an
desite, an area in which a number
of rich pockets or lenses of ore, Of
various size, have been found in
past operations. This contact is
heavily m~ineralized and silicified and
extends through the Sandstorm-Ken-
dali property for a distance of about
5000 feet. Those who are familiar
with the property have long be-
lieved that important deposits OF
ore will ultimately be found in ex-
I.loring this contact.
