Washington Holds Little
Hope For Easter Parades
Bv Associated Press

Washington, April 3.-Easter fnery
in the eastern part of the country is
threatened with disaster by snow,
wind, rain and cold. A cyclonic storm,
to-day swept north along the Atlantic
coast From Florida to Maine the
weather forecaster here has predicted
snow and gales:
Only a single hope for Easter pa
rades was held forth and that was eX-
pressed in tentative prediction that
the snow and rain might be followed
with clearing" weather Sunday aft
ernoon.
So widespread was the disturbance
that storm warnings were displayed
along the Atlantic coast from Will
mington, n. c. to Eastport, Maine.
Temperatures down to freezing were
predicted in the entire country east
of the Mississippi river.
New York City was visited by snow
and q 36-mile gale to-day. Off Sandy
Hook the wind was blowing 81 miles
an hour.
Along the New Jersey coast the tide
was high. Seabright, N. J., was
again battered. At the height of the
gale fire was discovered in boarding
house there and after spreading to ad-
joining buildings, threatened the en-
tire town for a time. The flames were
subdued by quick work
A swirling snowstorm from the
South Atlantic coast rode into Phila-
delphia on a 3S-mile gale to-day and
made things look very unlike Easter
time. Thousands of persons who had
planned to spend Easter at seashore
and other resorts were disappointed,
but the weather bureau there held out
hope that Sunday would be clear.

Supply
Among the changes of interest in
motor circles is the taking over of all
outstanding stock of the Front Market
Motor Supply by the Johnstown Auto
bers of firm. Il. NJ. Price, secretary
over the old issue of outstanding stock
and the Johnstown Automobile Com
pany will take over what remains of
the new issue. The Johnstown Automo-
bile company is among the largest
concerns of its kind in the country, be-
ing distributors of motor cars and ac-
cessories. Motor boats will be among
the additional features to be included
in the local store. All partitions
within the building have been remov-
ed and the storeroom is now again as
large as when first opened a year
ago. April ! was the first anniversary
of the opening of local store. At that
time, but one clerk and q bookkeeper
was employed. Now nine people are
on the payroll and a service station es-
tablished in addition to the store at
Front and Market street. Z. B. Will
dermuth will continue as president
and manager and r. NJ. Price of
Johnstown. will be secretary and treas
ury. The Johnstown people realized the
advantage of Harrisburg as a field for
business and availed themselves of the
first opportunity to secure a portion
of the stock in 4 well-establish he'd con-
cern.

CITY TO CELEBRATE
RESURRECTION MORN
CONTINUED from First Page.1


Friday observance of the tragedy of
the world, but tomorrow the last
chapter of the story of the cross will
be told by, choir and organ and minis
ter. Easter will be observed with more
than ordinary significance throughout
the country to-day. The crosses of iron
and gun metal in way have cast their
shadows from beyond the oceans.
For weeks the city has been pre-
pairing for the big day. Just how
we'll will be known tomorrow when
cantata and recital and the childish
voices of the primary department of
the Sunday school are lifted in praise.
Thrills for the Little Folk
For the little folk, however, the day
next to Christmas or the Fourth
is fraught with thrilling possibilities.
There will be the gorgeously colored
eggs to seek, the dainty well-filled Eas-
ter baskets to collect and admire and
the gauntlet of threats of parent and
tentative suggestion of things not do
ing so well in the region of the belt, to
pass before the day is done. One
doesn't have the opportunity every
day in the year to disposed of as many
chocolate eggs or candy rabbits as one
wishes, goodness knows.
To-day the florists, the milliners, the
seamstresses and the department
stores, to say nothing of the messenger
boys, were more than ordinarily busy.
For the first time in months IL can be
safely said that the latter didn't bother
so much about finishing the last dime
novel while on his way with q great
box of roses or more precious hat.
The clerks of the confectionery
stores will breathe n heartfelt sigh of
thankfullness this evening when the
boss orders the blinds drawn for the
night. And all day pretty clerk Mary
or Jane or Cla-icS wondered whether
she might manage to squeeze in an
extra minute or two at the lunch or
dinner hour-to get round to see
about that hat.

RIVER FRONT SLOPE
NOW FILLED" OUT
IContinued from First Page.l

What was once an irregular. zig
Jagged strip of parkway from Calder
street to Moclay is now q sloping en-
bankment with ample room on the
street level for a pathway six to eight
feet wide. The bank has been filed
out at n graceful angle in such a way
as to bring the toe" of the slope to
within a certain distance of the edge
of the proposed sidewalk on the wall.
Just as soon as the weather per-
mits the new ground will be narrowed,
fine-graded and otherwise trimmed up
to permit IL to be planted with matri-
mony and other vines, the shrubbery
of the kind that is used on the de-
pressed slopes below the pumping sta
ton to Mulberry street. This work
City Commissioner NJ. Harvey Tay-
lor, superintendent of parks, hopes to
undertake within the next few weeks.
In addition to the planting of the
vines a number of young trees will also
be placed in the embankment, some
possibly on the slopes and some on
the top pathway. The trees like the
vines will serve the double purpose of
Identification as well as q retaining
support for the earth.
Contrary to the reports very little of
the earth was washed away by the
recent high water. In fact about all
that the rising waters did was to pull

arily would have had to be thrown
over the stones when the grading is
taken up.
Except for the planting and grad
ing, Commissioner Taylor's part of the
| job is now finished. The toe of the
lembankment below Hamilton extends
to within about four feet of the line
that will mark the edge of the pro-
nosed I4-foot walk along the wall

four to seven feet. This open space
will be taken up by the wide sod gut

the water which might collect in the
gutter will soon eyaporate.

State Road Work
Starts on Monday

officials of the State Highway De-
partment stated to-day that every
thing was in readiness to begin work
on the repair of the State Highways
next week and that judging from re-
plies received from county road SUPER
intendents their forces would be work
ing Monday morning in practically
every county in the State. The plans
for repair work were outlined months
ago and have been taken up by di-
vision engineers with the county su-
perintendents and the latter officials
have been inspecting highways for
over a month, listing places where
immediate operations must be COM
menced. 1t is expected that between
1000 and 5000 men will be put to
work Monday.
Governor Brumbaugh, who is ex-
pected to return here Monday. will
keep in close personal touch with the
repair work and go over the reports
with Joseph w. Hunter. who is acting
as chief of the department.
The Governor said yesterday that he
had not yet worked out details OF
either the general highway improve
ment plan outlined in his address or
the financial end, but was seeking in
formation wherever he could get in
and would evolve a general plan be-
fore many days. He made it plain
in Philadelphia that he intends to
stand by his pledges for highway inn
provement as firmly as he is stand
ing by his other pledges.
Next week he hopes to give atten-
tion to the Department of Agriculture
bill in addition to the highway prob
lem and to keep his hand on the child
labor and local option fights. The
conservation department bill gives nc
signs of being aroused from slumber
To-day and tomorrow the Governor
will seek rest from his burdens. In
addition to the great strain of the
successful local option fight he is
waging and the personal work of gath
ering in the votes. he is attending tc
all of the routine of his office, seeing
more visitors than any Governor ever
did and even then being unable to see
all who call, and acting on bills. Thus
far the Governor has received II bills
approved 50. vetoed IL and had /
recalled, making 23 yet in his hands.
