Encampment)
Every provision that could be made
for the care and comfort of these old
men has been most painstakingly ar
ranged. The special police and the
omnipresent Boy Scouts were instant
ly at the side of any old soldier who
showed the slightest sign of needing
lelp. The work of the Boy Scouts de-
serves the highest praise. They were
everywhere, always alert to see or
hear any call for assistance. They
escorted fainting and sick women
through the line of marching vet
Grams and across the avenue to be
taken to their homes or to waiting
ambulance. Long before physicians
in the ambulance could be called, some
well trained young scout would be at
the side of a stricken man or woman
with his first aid kit open and need
ed restorative ready for use. Up and
down the lines they ran with cold wa
ter for some failing old man who, in a
few minutes would hearten up and get
to his feet to take place in the line
and totter by the president.
All evil is some good gone astray.

CHAMBER URGES
SYSTEM
Commerce Body Urges Busi-
nessmen to Protect Their
Property From Fire

The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, following out it's well-marked
path of constructive work. is making a
strenuous effort to induce the business
men and manufacturers generally to
follow in the footsteps of those pro-
gressive ones who have taken means
to protect their own premises and
lower the fire risk in their neighbor-
hood by installing the sprinkler sys-
tenn of fire prevention.
The danger of fire in congested dis
trlcts particularly is ever present and
the sprinkler system, which is auto
matte and sends forth q deluge of
water that floods the room immedi-
ately upon the fire touching any part
of the sprinkler connection, infinitely
diminishes the danger of destructive
conf1agration. Particularly is this so
when the sprinkler's work is aided by
the protection of all elevator and air
shafts, floor and other openings, by
metal doors or wired glass. No mat
ter how fire proof building may be.
there is always danger in q congested
district that the fire may come through
the open spaces such as windows and
completely gut the building, leaving
the walls untouched, as in the Edison
plant which burned down several years
ago in East Orange.
The movement is widespread and
calculated to render all districts free
from the remotest possibility of fire.
With the above outlined system in
vogue q building is safe from itself
to its neighbor. And the beauty of the
whole thing is that the cost of in
stallation is very shortly covered by
the decrease in the amount of the
premiums paid for fire insurance.

A CARToONIST OF THE OLD
SCHOOL

Many years have passed since Joseph
Keppler, Sr., drew his lithographic car
toons for Puck, but he is still remem-
bered. Eugene Zimmerman, who was
associated with him nearly a generation
ago, gives the following pen picture of
the artist in the current number of
Cartoons Magazine:
"Keppler was rather an attractive
figure. with mustache and imperial; a
soft hat which he often wore and a
cloak thrown over his shoulders gave
him the appearance of master of the
old school. Gillian was tall and had
scholarly stoop to his shoulders, with
head bent downward, thinking always
of ideas for cartoons. He was seldom
to be approached in his office, for the
door tender usually delivered a callers
card, and unless he was a personal
friend, the answer woud come back
mot in" which is not uncommon in
busy offices where everything is sup
posed to move on schedule time. Upon
being admitted, however, one found i
modest and most cordial gentleman,
with a beam of welcome that made one
feel Immediately at ease"

If reports are true about an abun-
dance of deer. venison will be a part
of the bill of fare in many Harrisburg
families between now and Christmas.
Local deer hunters have been
prominent for many seasons but this
year it is said the Harrisburg nim-
rods have increased in numbers.
Players who this season brought
fame TO the University of Pittsburgh
are still in training. There are pros
poets of one more game. Cornell has
been challenged by the Pitt team. The
westerners yesterday sent a challenge
to the, lthacans. An answer Is ex-
pected to-day.
All sorts of offers are coming to
Jess Willard. While the new cham
pion has proven his ability as a fighter,
there Is widespread opinion that as
real champion the Cowboy" fighter
is not certainty. In Boston, where
no color line is drawn, a syndicate is
raising $4,000 for a battle between
Willard and Sam Langford.

Washington. Dec. /. - Assistant At

preme Court a Government brief in
reply to the appeal in the Jack john
son prizefight film case, in which the
constitutionality of the law of 1912
against the importation of prizefght
films for purpose of public exhibition
is supported.
The films were taken at the fight at
Havana last April between Jess Will
lard and the negro champion, who
was worsted.
The government argument holds
that even IL the films imported should
not be used for public exhibition and
should be used only for private enjoy
ment by the owner they cannot be
used

Cannot Be Had Without
Rule Violations
Special to The Tclesruph

Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 1. - Persistent
rumors to the effect that football will
be dropped as sport at the Carlisle
Indian School following the present
disastrous season were given partial
confirmation yesterday by Superinten-
dent Lipps. He said the Indian Arrow
would carry an account of the stand
of the authorities on the matter.
He would. however, not give any
Information of the character of the
statement, although it is generally be-
heved that 1t will take the form of
an order stopping the Fall sport 1t
is believed the sport will be halted
on the ground that a winning team
cannot be conducted without violat-
ing governmental regulations.
First Bad Season
The present season has been one
of the worst in the history of the Red
and Gold team in some ways. The
aborigines have won but few games
of their schedule although in many
cases, as against Harvard, they out
played their opponents. Frequent
fumbling and various tactical errors
featured the year. 1t is reported al
so that there has been internal dis
sension under the new management.
That Carlisle will not take favor
ably to the elimination of football is
generally believed. The Indian School
primarily through its football team
has been one of the biggest adver-
tisements the town has had and the
school has been noted especially for
its athletic prowess.

ArlNTosH, S. d.. Dec. 1s.-Twice
married in one day was the exper-
fence OF Peter Gabor and Miss Rose
Marvin. OF this city. who thought they
would steal march on their local
friends and have the nuptial knot tied
at Mobridge.
Armed with marriage license pro-
cured in Corson county, they went to
fobridge where the ceremony was
performed by the Rev. c. C. Warner,
OF the Congregational church.
Afterwards. in looking over the IL
cense the Rev. Mr.. Warner noticed
n was issued in Carson county, while
the ceremony had been performed in
Walworth county. Legal advice caused
the young couple to hasten across the
river and have the knot tied again,
this time by the Rev. Mr.. Warner, on
Corson county soil.
