Says Church, Home and School
Must Join in Education of
individuals

AS an outcome of the constructive
peace meeting held Saturday night at
the Technical high school under the
auspices of the Pennsylvania Arbitra
tion and Peace Society. a number of
zfollow-up meetings will be held Sun
day nights at various large churches of
the city and a big meeting for perma-
nent organization is planned about the
middle of May.
Many applications were signed by
persons desiring to join a permanent
organization, and were taken charge of
by DIR. ]. j. Mullowney. chairman OF
the committee of arrangements.
The views of Governor Brumbaugh
on the peace question given in letter
4read by DIR. Mullowney were as fol-
Bows:
I'VE Are Peaceful People"
81 am intensely interested not only
n the preservation of the peace OF this
patton, but in the development of the
spirit of peace in the citizens of this
great Commonwealth
IF we are to maintain another CEN
tury of peace with the nations of the
world, We must first have a definite
high national ideal 1t then becomes
nur business to train our people to
realize this ideal, to know what IL
means to be a citizen of this country.
The hope of securing peace in
America rests upon trained citizenshi
America rests upon train
ed citizenship. We are peace
full and peace-seeking peo-
pile. The man here whoo plans for
war is no friend of this country. The
time has come for Christian people to
do more for the great Prince of Peace
than they have done in the past. What
this country needs more than anything
else is good behavior In each of her
citizens. If we can secure that there
will be no cause for thinking about a
larger army and navy"
The WomanS Side
Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones gave the
woman's viewpoint on the peace ques-
tion. saying that war will be ended
when women have the vote. Profess
sor Alvin S. Johnson, of Cornell, spoke
on the economic features of war,
pointing out that commercial and colo
nial jealousy and fear on the part of
the great nations involved is at the
bottom of the present conflict.
Other speakers were Henry c. Niles.
Eice-president and August Cadwalla-
der Of Philadelphia, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace
Society.

Hold-up Men Pull Two
Successful RObberies

Steelton police are searching for
several holdup men who late Saturday
night pulled two successful robberies
in Conestoga and Trewick streets and
afterward made their escape.
About $50 o'clock Mrs. +. S. FrantZ,
Main street, was stopped near the
-four mill in Trewick street by a man
unknown to her. The man snatched
her small handbag and began to run
along the Reading railroad. She called
Patrolman Wynn, who was near, but
the thief escaped.
About a half hour later two girls,
whose names have been withheld, were
accosted by two colored men on the
Conestoga street bridge. Pedestrians
attracted by the screams of the girls
frightened away their assailants.

NEW POLICE PLAN
BEFORE COUNCIL
Conestoga Street Residents Do
Not Want Road Paved; Light
Ordinance Up

Whether or not Burgess Fred Wig
fields plan for increasing the efficiency
of the Steelton police department Vill
ever be put into effect will likely be
known after council meets tonight.
At this evenings meeting the po-
lice committee, into whose hands the
burgess recommendation have been
placed, is scheduled to make a report.
Whatever recommendation the COM
mittee makes will probably be car
ried out by council.
If Burgess Wigheld's recommended
tions are endorsed by council the
members of the borough fire patrol
will be made special borough police
men to act as a reserve police body.
Whenever special police protection is
needed or whenever any of the regu-
lar police force are off duty, men,
bers of the fire patrol will be drawn
upon to fill the vacancies. What OBJ
lection members of council may raise
to the plan is not known.
a petition will be presented to coun-
Gil this evening, it is understood, by
property owners in Conestoga street
urging council not to carry out its eX-
pressed intention to pave that street.
A request will be made at the same
time, 1t is said, to have Swatara street,
from Second to Sixth, paved instead.
An ordinance regulating the plant
ing, care, etc, of shade trees in the
borough has been drawn at the re-
quest of the Shade Tree Commission
and may be introduced this evening.
The ordinance changing the location
of street lights will come up on second
reading.
Council will be asked by the Mer-
chants Association to increase the
vendors license fee and to thoroughly
revise the present license measures.
The committee from the Merchant S
Association includes Louis Lehrman,
G. NJ. Long, w. III. Whitebread. b. h,
McNear, Jr., and Ralph Eckels.

the legislature tomorrow arrange
ments should be made for public
hearing. Let the hearing be big
one and let everyone come and speak
with absolute frankness. We want
their views. Compensation is a new
thing to us and we want the benefit
of all experience and all opinions" de-
clared the Governor.
Attorney General Francis Skunk
Brown this afternoon declared in favor
of a constitutional convention. "The
time is right for a constitutional con-
vention," said he. ~ see no reason
why there should be any fears that
such a convention would not be made
up of men fully able to meet the prob
lens and of the proper spirit to frame
for this State a constitution that will
go farther toward meeting the needs
of the State than the one we have
now"
Mr.. Brown said that it was an idea
of his that the Governor should be
permitted. to name some delegates as
in that way the State might get the
benefit of brains of men who would
never enter an election contest for
delegate.
Bills Go in Tomorrow
The administration workmen's COM
pensation bills will be introduced into
the legislature tomorrow.
Attorney General Brown to-day an
nounced that they were about ready
and that there would be no changes
of Importance in the bills as compared
with the tentative draft made public
some time ago. Francis III. Bohlen,
secretary of the Industrial Accidents
commission which drafted the original
bill, discussed with Mr.. Brown a num-
ber of suggestions he had received and
some of those submitted to Governor
Brumbaugh were taken up.
In all probability there will be pub
lie hearings on the bills at which labor
leaders and others interested will be
invited to make statements.
The child labor bills will be consid-
cred at a public hearing on March 16.

about the only cure for a fiend is to
gradually cut down the supply and
eventually overcome the craving for

are quite young.
Another physician in explaining the
effects of the drug and results when
its use is discontinued said, that when
a person uses the drug regularly the
system forms what is sometimes called
an antelope" which reacts with the
form of opium and that when no more
dope" is taken. this reaction causes
