HARRISBURG. Aug. 25.-w S.
Harlan. speaking in behalf of the
manufacturers Of Coatesville. before
the State Water Supply Commission,
yesterday afternoon, declared that the
building Of a dam on Rock Run would
he a menace to the industries on
which the Chester county town de-
pends. The fear Of the dam breaking
he said hung over the people day and
night and the manufacturers did not
feel like enlarging their plants if the
dam was to be authorized
The hearing was held by the COM
mission on the protest against the
site of the town for months. over $50
residents of the town came to attend
the hearing. which was held in the
House caucus room. The new COM

an engineer. sat for the first time.
c. d. Emerson, engineer of the de-
partment of health; Charles Ryder,
engineer of the Water Supply and
Deputy Acknowledgement Horace W.
Davis, also sat.
Mr.. Harlan was presented by
Charles L. McKeehan, Of Philadelphia,
representing the protestants, and
handed up a petition against the Rock
Dam site signed by 1851 taxpayers.
He enlarged on the objections to the
Rock Run dam. He declared the
town needed a new supply and that
the Brandywine was low now. He
sand Buck Run was preferable TO
Rock Run.
Alexander Potter, Jr, the engineer
in charge. said Buck Run would i'm
pound as much water as Rock Run.
In answer to another question the
engineer said he was trying to design
a dam that would hold.
z. F. Dawson, Philadelphia and
Reading engineer, objected to the To-
cation of Rock Run dam. Major Cas-
sius E. Gillette, former United States
Army officer and chief of the Phila-
delphia Filtration Bureau, declared
the Buck Run site was possible and
feasible for a supply.

occurred in the proposed dam on

DIR. NICHOLS SEES
FIVE YEARS OF WAR

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. ,Atg. 25.-Dr.
Edward H Nichols. head Of the Har-
ward surgical unit in France who
has Just returned from there, thinks
that the United States shoul; join
the allied forces, also that the war
will probably last at least five years
longer. He says:
Il think the United States should
get into the world war, at least to
the extent Of sending some ships over
and supplying the allies with arms
and ammunition.
He believes the allies will win and
the war may last FIVE years longer,
and will not end until the Darda-
nelles are forced, in his opinion.

Agricultural Department
Points Out Danger From
Many Canning Powders
TELL HOW TO KEEP
EGGS LONGEST TINE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-With the
season of preserving and canning
fruit at hand. many housewives who
like to put up their own fruit are
urged TO use some preserving CT can
ming compound. The argument is
ier and insures the keeping quality
OF the food AS il happens the prin-
cipal ingredient in many of these
powders is salicylic acid which is
well known as a poisonous substance
and which frequently leads to de-
rangemcnt of the digestion.
In cases of acute articular rhcu-
matism and certain other diseases
salicylic acid Is used as a medicine
when properly administered but may
be a dangerous ingredient in food.
Other powders and preserving com
pounds contain boric acid and are
frequently sold under fanciful names
LAT prices much in advance Of their
real value. The worst feature about
these powders is that, while they
may prevent the decay of the fruit or
vegetable, they also encourage un-
cleanly or careless work In addi-
tion, if they are eaten with food in
excessive quantities they may very
well have a bad effect upon the
health. The housewife who takes
pride in her work will realize that
heat. sugar and cleanliness are all
that she needs to put up excellent
fruits and vegetables that will keep
perfectly Therefore. there is no ex-
'cuse for running any risk by using
preserving powders. The Department
.of Agriculture has issued many bull
letins and pamphlets showing how
to put up fruits and vegetables and

April 1S.-(By Mail to New York;
This is Frederick Villiers' seven

the English lines some officer says TO
him; But l suppose you've seen all
this sort of thing before"
And Villiers, who has pictured war
all over the world, says: ITS all new
to me. I'm a babe at this new game
of war"
Villiers' first campaign was in 1876.
In those days no one touched OF a
cannon until the enemy was in sight
1t was like aiming a rifle.
But this afternoon we looked on at
twentieth century artillery firing. The
British artillerymen were at attention
at their gun, when the officer IN
charge showed up a map.

The guns we're charged: the man

came that the shell had gone a little

with their gun as delicately as 9

ed Ashland. when they turned and
started back While proceeding down
a steep hill they came to a curve
which they attempted to turn without
reducing their speed. The car skidded
to the side Of the road and dropped
into the creek, fifteen feet below.
The two men were pinned under the
car, but managed to get from under
it and crawled to the bank of the
creek. There they were found by

Mr.. Clark took the two men to the
Thompson estate, where they resided,

A Bad Way, and a Good
One
Written for THE EVENING JOUR
NAL by James 7. Crozier.

The way of transgressors is certain
ly hard
Is a saying that surely is true.
For punishment some time will come
to them
For the bad things they often do.
There are various grades of crime we
know.
From murder in first degree
To the thief who will steal bottle Of
milk
From the doorstep Of you and me.
Some say they inherit this bad nature
from
Their fathers. whose footsteps
they've trod,
But the greatest of crimes that they
can commit
Is their staying away from God
Some enter a church, hear a sermon
preached
And a sweet invitation to come,
And accept that salvation that's Of
fered to all,
And be sure of a heavenly home.
For life is uncertain; we know not
the day
When this life from all trials shall
end
And if we neglect what we should
accept,
Where will we eternity spend?
Just think of it friend, while you are
in health,
The day is approaching so fast;
II may be tomorrow; it may be next
week
When you shall arrive at the last
Then make no delay, find your Savior
today.
For we know He is ready to save !:
Every woman and man who come
unto Him
You will have no more fear of the
grave.
We are told perfect love casteth out
every fear,
Then that blessed old hymn you can
sing,
While friends stand around; "Oh,
Glory to God.
