"BABY WEEK" IN PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh has Just finished the cell
ebration of baby week" Its object
was "a campaign for happy and healthy
babies. There was an exhibition
throughout the week at Wabash sta
ton. On the first floor was an exhibit
on the care of the baby with an infor-
nation booth. On the second floor was
the State exhibit on baby welfare. with
examples of the do care and don't
care" families Besides, aspects of the
care. of babies were illustrated with
moving pictures.
In various places in the city there
were appropriate programs. Moving
pictures were shown in parks and
schoolhouses. In one of the settlement
houses there were talks in different
languages. BABY Sunday" was OBJ
served in the. churches. Each day had
some distinctive event. Flags We're dis
tributed on Monday at the homes of
babies. On Tuesday there was a little
mothers parade" One day was devoted
to talks to fathers in the streets and
in the shops. On another day mothers
and babies were given an outing.
The idea was to get everybody 10
talking about the care of babies, SO that
a general interest In the subject would
be aroused.

Go into a garden filled
BREEDING GROUND
FOR MICROBES

Improperly cared for, what a happy
hunting ground for germs and mi
crobes the dishccloth may be, ex-
claims Eva ]. De Marsh in Farm and
Home. Just put one in pan with a
lot of dirty greasy dishes, rinse it in
lukewarm water, or not at all, hang II
in warm, dark, shut-in corner, and
leave it overnight. You will know it is
there! Drink some milk, eat some
butter, pudding or jelly that has stood
where it absorbed all the dishcloth
had to give, and if you suffer no i'll
effects, you are germ proof.
The materials of your cloth may be
anything, so long as it is absolutely
clean and free from dyestuffs. Let
your dishes be scraped clean before
they go into the pan, use your cloth
to wash them only, and always rinse
it we'll when you are through. If you
can, frequently hang it in the sun,
wash and boil often, and never leave
a cloth so it will remain wet long
time, and get sour.
How's your dish rag?
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-07-10
YOUR DISHCLOTHS

One of the most used, and at the
same time most abused things in the
household is the dishcloth, declares
Eva j. De Marsh, writing in Farm
and Home. Some people have plenty
of them and keep them clean; more
do neither. oh, you needn't hold up
your hands in protest; it's true. Who
hasn't seen those raggedy, much-used
cloths hanging over the dishpan for
weeks and weeks? OF course, they
are rinsed, but how many thorough
scrubs and boils do they get in the
course of human events? A lot of
nice clean people use their dishcloths
until they are worn out.
And then the way the dishcloth is
imposed upon! Not only does it full
fill its legitimate purpose of washing
the dishes. but it scrubs the pots and
gives the stove lick as WELL Be-
sides, often the corner is converted
into a securing rag.
Your dishcloth cannot be too sweet
and clean. Always rinse it we'll when
you are through with 1t, and hang IL
in place where it will be we'll aired
and dried. Change your cloths often,
frequently wash and boil them, and
never, no never, use them to wash the
stove. Have one cloth for silver, china
and glassware, and another for the
kettles and frying pans. Milk dishes
are better washed and dried by them
selves, with their own towels.

CHAMBERS GOOD WORK

TIME Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce is doing an excellent work
in bringing men of national repu-
tation to the city. The coming of
United States Senator Theodore E.
Burton on July 10 is only one of many
such instances. More really big men
have spoken before the Harrisburg
| Chamber in the past year than have
addressed similar gatherings in either
Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. Every one
of these speakers has brought a mes
sage we'll worth hearing, many of them
embracing lessons that are keynotes to
success with respect to community life
or applied individually.
This is one Of the important duties
of the Chamber-to keep Harrisburg
in touch with the country at large, to
keep it's members abreast of the times;
and in no way can this be accom-
plished so well as by bringing to Har-
risburg the big, deep thinkers of the
nation to tell us of their own expert
ences and ideals and what others are
doing. The study of history is inval-
liable to the man engaged in public
work. Biography contains important
lessons for the man bent upon per-
sonal success. The addresses of such
men as Burton are both history and
everyday life and having their appli-
cation to every one who hears the
messages they bring.

WEST SHORE RESPONSIBILITY
"HERE are signs even now that
people residing along the west

THERE are signs even now that
people residing along the west
shore of the Susquehanna oppo-
site Harrisburg are realizing the oppor-
tunities afforded them by the damming
of the river at the lower end of this
city. Here and there owners of homes
and summer bungalows are beautifying
the river bank down to the water s
edge. Never, before the construction
of this dam. did the West Shore have
a depth of water sufficient to make
boating there a pleasant recreation.
With the dam still open at places, due
to the construction of the Cumberland
Valley bridge, the water is already uni
formly higher than ever before, and it
will be increased in depth at least a
foot when that work is completed.
Harrisburg has done its part in the
Identification of the river basin. 1t
has expended many thousands of dol
lars in the task and is pleased that 1t
has done so. 1t is not to be expected
that the more sparsely settled West
Shore will be able to do anything so
comprehensive, but it is entirely within
the powers of the township, the bor-
ough and individuals to decide upon
some harmonious form of treatment
that would add not only to the beauty
of an already picturesque locality but
would increase property values as well,
and make the West Shore an even
more delightful place in which to live
than it now is.
Wormleysburg people are noted for
their public spirit. If they want new
fire apparatus or town hall or some
other municipal improvement, they
join hands and get it. Doubtless they
are already thinking of the future of
their river front. which is every bit as
attractive as that Of Harrisburg. A
community meeting to discuss the mat
ter would be entirely in order and
might bring about means for an early
consideration of the subject by a joint
committee or other body delegated to
take up the matter.

STEPS TOWARD PREPAREDNESS
New York Sun.1

New York Sum-
No action undertaken by any of the
numerous associations devoted to the
Improvement of the national defence
has been more practicable or better
calculated to achieve results than that
which proposes to enroll all employ
ers of labor for the encouragement of
enlistment in the National Guard.
In a numerous well drilled and
properly accoutered body of citizen
soldiers. instructed in the profession
of arms, lies the only Immediately
available means of increasing our mill
tary establish ement to a degree remote
ly approaching the pressing necessities
of the country.
Unfortunately the National Guard
has not received in the past the en-
couragement from the public that an
intelligent understanding of it's func-
tions and purpose requires. 1t has had
to meet the open or secret hostility
of labor unions and employers, and to
struggle against the indifference of the
populace.
Were 1t brought to the place in the
community it should occupy, the mem
ace of our present condition would
be notably modified: and the taXpay-
ers.. while they would be called on to
contribute something to its develop
ment, would still remain in happy
ignorance of the burden imposed by a
large standing army

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
PretidtHf AHsrieas SoeiTy for THrIf

brickmaker. Thus the habit of indus
try acquired SO early became of the
greatest benefit to him in after life.
Starting to work on a salary of 81. so
q week, which was eventually raised,
he managed not only to help his parents,
but to save one hundred dollars. It
took great thrift to save this amount
but no one has a corner on thrift. In
stead of spending his hundred dollars
on vacation, young Wanamaker in
vested it. The investment proved to
be so fortunate that he made So, 900
out of 1t and with this sum he com-
menced for himself in the clothing
business, a business that he not only
understood, but liked.
The times were then hard lit was
just at the outbreak of the Civil war
and predictions of failures were numer-
Gus. But he knew the clothing busi-
ness thoroughly, was schooled in q
homo of thrift and was not discouraged.
Moreover he started modestly, refrain
ing from displayof expensive furnish
ings and plate glass.
"If you would have a faithful serv-
ant, and one that you like said
Franklin, ''serve yourself"
Again. keep thy shop and thy
shop will keep thee"
These two things John WanamakeR
did. He employed no superfuous help,
took down his own shutters, made his
fires, swept the store and often delivered
parcels for customers himself. He also
kept his own accounts. Fifteen years
later Wanamaker was giving employ
ment to three thousand persons.

FLOOD WARNINGS

NNE of the most valuable services
the State Water Supply Commits
sion renders to the communities
lying along the banks of rivers and
streams that in rainy seasons are apt
to overflow their banks is the warning
it issues at such times. Flood warn
ings that come out but a few hours
before the rise of the waters are not
of much value. The commission
realizes this and strives to estimate the
height of the streams at various points
at least twelve hours in advance. This
gives everybody interested ample time
in which to take necessary precautions
and results in the saving of much
property that otherwise would be
damaged or destroyed.
The accuracy with. which the oom-
mission makes its forecasts is we'll
illustrated in the bulletins issued dur
ing the present flood stage of the Sus-
quehanna and its tributaries.

GRADE CROSSING RELIEr

NoNSIDERATION has been written
and much more said since the
accident at Hummelstown Mon
day night, concerning the RESPONSE
bility of the State Public Service
Commission with respect to grade
crossings. There are more than IL
600 such crossings in PENNSYLVANIA
and 1t is task of no mean pro-
portions to attempt their regulation.
The commission has never declined
ito extend proper relief to communi-
ties asking for it in this respect. IT
has suggested, when complaints of
dangerous grade crossings were laid
before 1t. that the residents or the
authorities of the territory tmme-
diately adjacent were in better posi-
ton to pass upon the subject than n
body of men sitting miles away at
the Capitol, and to that end decisions
have been based largely upon testi-
mony taken on the spot.
1t is certainly the duty OF the
community. as we'll as of the rail-
road and officials, to see to it that the
public is adequately protected wher-

CONTROL OF THE BUDGET

TIME last session of Congress was
an extremely extravagant one
and yet it appropriated $113,-
000,0 less than the Executive De-
partments urged 1t to appropriate
Let this fact sink into the minds of
those who advocate a national budget
system for the United States. That a
budget system is desirable, few will
question, but those who believe in
economical administration will also
agree that the control of the budget
board or commission should be in
Congress and not in the departments.
The reason for this is plain. The
head of each department, upon the
insistent recommendation of his
subordinates and because Of his de-
sire to extend the activities of his
office, asks Congress for larger ap-
preparations for work already in
hand and for new appropriations for
new governmental activities. He is
naturally impressed with the i'm

mers in comfortable circumstances.
His father owned several farms, grist-
mills, etc. 1t might be supposed from
this that young Cyrus lived life of
careless ease and was not required to
take thought for the morrow. Such
was not the case, however. While he
was not overworlsed as poorer boys often
are, he was taught to be industrious
and careful. His parents did not con-
slider it to be his right to throw away"
the money accumulated by the hard
work of his ancestors, or to rest on their
laurels. His training was such that his
genius was not frittered away. He
never was known as poor inventor.
He was early taught tho lesson of
thrift. He made money, he saved
money, and he made more money.
John Wanamaker's start was very
different, for he began on nothing.
His parents were poor, and after
school he had to help his father.

more or less actuated by vanity and
ambition.
Congress, the only branch of gov
ernment chosen directly by the peo-
pie and including men from every
walk of life, is not Influenced by per-
sonal ambition, so far as departmental
expenditures are concerned. and upon
that body we must rely for the check
upbn extravaganza.
A budget system we certainly need,
but not one in the control of men
who ask for $11S,OO0,0o0 more than
liberal Congress will grant.

Convention in This CITY .
DRIVE CAREFULLY

[From the Kansas City Star.1
Two fatal motor accidents in Kansas
City last night call attention once more
to the need of the greatest caution in
driving. It's speed makes the automo-
bile both a great convenience and q
great menace.
1t is not merely that passengers in a
motor vehicle are endangered by care
lessness on the part of their own
driver. They are endangered by care
lessness on the part of other drivers
and of people on foot. That means that
the driver must never take anything
for granted on the part of anybody he
meets. He must assume that other
people are liable to bewilderment, and
must be prepared for anything.

BURLEsoN,s ADMISSION

TN his last annual report, Postmaster
General Burleson presented sta
l. tistics showing the steady growth
in postal savings deposits and then
said: "These facts afford conclusive
proof that the practical operations
of postal savings in this country have
amply fulfilled the predictions of its
advocates"
That is certainly some admission,
coming as it does from a man who,
as a member of the House of Rep
resentatives, voted against the postal
savings bank bill. 1t is one more
acknowledgment of the superiority of
Republican ideas. But Burleson had
plenty of bad company. for every
Democrat in the House who voted at
all recorded his vote against the
measure.

pride and fashion greatly.
Change is e good thing, 1t sometimes
old in the rut. Fashion isn't a bad
thing, altogether, although it is greatly
assailed. It causes human beings to
and prance spunkily and airily through
the world. like show horses. even when
almost gripped by, the curved claws of
the creditor. Fashionable summer re-
sorts, though the rooms be cramped
and the food not altogether to the
average liking, the rates high, the tips
elusive and suspicious of stealthy at
tempts at social climbing aren't al
together deplorable. They stimulate in
dustrious farming in the hot plains of
Kansas and Industrious gambling in
the fevered hives of Wall Street since
everybody who is or would be anybody
must go somewhere for the summer.
Be 1t ever comfortable, there Is no place
so unfashionable as home.
A home which is not closed and made
fiamboyantly untenanted during the
season when society is engaged in the
annual performance by which 1t conju-
gates the present tense of the verb "to
summer" Is as unfashionable as cot
tage where the good wife takes the air
upon the doorstep in the evening with
her sleeves rolled up and recounts the
ups and downs at the tub and range to
her pipe smoking lord and master. But
a great deal Of constructive human en-
deavor owes its inspiration to the ne
cesslty for living as well as ones fash
ionable neighbors. so why quarrel with
fashions fads?
It does seem a pity that It is not
fashionable to exchange houses for the
summer, instead of closing them up and
going our ways to less comfortable
quarters. Such waste of comforts is
equipped domestic plants all over the
country and going to places at which
shelter space sells by the cubic inch,
and where the vegetables seem so
much more remotely connected with
agriculture than they do when they are
brought fresh from the home garden
or bought fresh from the market man
who must please his customers the year
round or try another calling.
Men with good bank references and
