ROUNDING OUT THE PROGRAM

II is gratifying to note the progress
that has been made and is being
made in rounding out the program
of public improvements in which
Harrisburg has been engaged so active
ly for something less than fifteen
years. Councilmen who have given
the subject careful thought say that
there is about six weeks work to be
done along Paxton creek, month or
on the dam and that then the great
enterprises, with the exception of the
parking of the River Front and the
taking over of the "Hardscrabble"
district, will have been completed. In
dications are that even these last two
items will have been pushed along
pretty we'll before the close of the
coming season.
Now that these estimates of time
required to put the finishing touches
on the public work have been made,
the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce will be able to begin it's ar
rapgements for the great municipal
celebration that is to follow the COM
pletion of the improvement campaign.
The Chamber has been unable to set
any date or to get its committees in
telligently to work, due to the fact
that it had no information as to when
the work now under way will be done,
but it is apparent now that any time
after early summer will be suitable
and no doubt there will be no delay
in getting under way the necessary
arrangements for Harrisburgs great
est jubilee.

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third person
is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct cafarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oi1-food in Scott's Emulsion which is q
medicinal food and building g-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

READINGS GOOD WORK

TVHE Foreign Trade Expansion
Conference held last Fall in
u Harrisburg under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce
has not been without good results. AS
noted by the Telegraph yesterday the
Reading Railway Company is using
the information it gathered there for
the benefit of all the manufacturers
and factory owners throughout Cen
trail Pennsylvania who did not find it
possible to attend the meeting.
Under the direction of L. II. Hill
larry, division freight agent, much mis-
sionary work has been done among
these shippers. looking toward a
broadening of their markets. This is
good work both for the railroad COM
pany and also for the manufacturer.
Too many of those whose plants have
brought prosperity to Central Penn
sylvania have been content to operate
on the rather limited scale afforded by
the opportunities of the home market
Many of them are in position to make
goods on a far larger scale than thew
do now and the opportunity to do so
by getting into touch with exporters
and buyers for foreign concerns ought
not to be neglected.
We have here in Harrisburg several
manufacturers whose goods are ship
ped not only to all parts of the United
States, but are used extensively abroad.
These men saw for themselves the pos
sibilities of the foreign market and
took advantage of them to their own
profit and the enlargement of their
plants. 1t remains for an organization
like the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad to point out for less observ-
ant factory managers what men, of
greater vision have seen for them

How Any Woman Can
Remove Hairy Growths
(Beauty Culture)

1t is not longer necessary for q
woman to visit a beauty specialist to
have superfluous hairs removed, for,
with the aid of u plain delatone paste,
she can, in the privacy of her own
home, remove even a stubborn growth
in a very few minutes. The paste is
made by mixing some water with a
little powdered delatone. This is ap-
piled to the hairs and after or
minutes removed and the skin wash
ed, when it will be left clear and hair
less. Be sure you buy real delatone.

To Turn To!

In its literal sense the verb
Advertise" means to turn to-"
The manufacturer who uses the
printed word seeks to turn pub
lie attention to his goods.
The retailer advertises to turn
people towards" his counter.
That counter is the ultimate
meeting place where the results
of both the manufacturers and
dealers sales efforts must be
measured.
Newspaper advertising proves
the most effective for the manu-
facturer because il sends custom
crs direct to the dealers counter.
The dealer in turn co-operates
with this advertising because he
can make this trade turn to- his
store.
Manufacturers seeking informa-
tion are invited TO address the

THE TRUTH OF IT

~ HAIRLESS WESLEY DUN,
speaking before the Philadel-
~ phia Association of Manufac-
turers' Representatives, recent
ly said:
The great BODY of businessmen
in this country are law-abiding
and honorable men and citizens.
The constant worry of complying
with a complex mass of drastic and
often ill-considered legislation, diff
ficult to interpret and impossible in
practice to comply with, enforcing
arbitrary conditions contrary to the
underlying economic principles,
cannot but have a certain depress
ing effect. 1t is indeed true that
business is sensitive and this worry
instills a feeling of insecurity. This
feeling of insecurity becomes seri-
Gus, for large capital or all capital
may be in issue, the business of a
generation or of n lifetime and a
good name may be in issue and
may be dependent upon its prosper
ity:, One might just as well argue
with child against the natural
fear of "bogy-man" as to remove,
the Characteristic of sensitiveness
from business
This admirably sums up in a few
sentences the situation in which the
business of the country now finds it.
self. The only person in the United
States who does not seem to under.
stand that these things are true is the
one man above all others who should
have clear and abiding knowledge
of them-the President himself. Un.
til this shall have been changed we
may expect no permanent relief from
the State of affairs with which Mr.
Dun finds fault.

New York Streets Flooded and Ship,
ping Damaged by Violent Wind
and Rain Storms.

New York, Aug. 4.-Streets in New
York city and its suburbs were
turned into yellow rivers, surface and
elevated traffic was badly crippled,
wires were blown into a tangled net
work, trees were uprooted and hun
dreds of cellars were flooded in a tor
rental downpour that broke over the
metropolitan section this forenoon to
the accompaniment of 60-mile gale
Nearly three inches of rain fell in
four hours at Sandy Hook, where a
southeaster lashed the ocean into a
fury. Vessels were held up at the har-
Dor entrance and during the height of
the gale, small schooner, the NJ V.
B. Chase, from Cheverie, \. S., to Nor
folk, with plaster, went to the bottom.
Her captain and a sailor were drowned
in a small boat. Coast guards res
cued the other four members of the
crew.
Along the northern coast of New
Jersey the gale wreaked damage diff
cult to estimate. Seabright, swept by
the ocean three times within IS
months, was battered again.
In a dozen parts of New York city
and Brooklyn the streets lay under
water from two to three feet deep.
From Coney island and Sea Gate,
came reports of a general tie-up in
transit facilities. No fatalities were
reported from any section of the met
ropolitan district, with the exception
of the sinking of the NJ V. B. Chase.
For more than 80 hours New York
had been water soaked, when the
heavy rain began, about 5 a. m. today.
Within four hours thereafter the rain
fall totaled one and half inches in the
city. At Sandy Hook the total was 81
inches. Shortly after 9 a. m. the storm
tapered off, the heavy rainfall ceased
and in it's stead there came a steamy

THE WAR TODAY

Russian official statement from
Petrograd claims continued and sue
cessful resistance to the efforts of the
German armies to cut off Warsaw.
There has been severe fighting and
very heavy losses on both sides. The
Germans in Poland have been rein
forced with troops brought from
France.
This report refers to the "enor-
nous efforts" of the Germans to dis
lodge the Russians from their posi-
tions on the Narew river, north of
Warsaw. On the PISA and Skwa
rivers, further to the northeast, the
Russians have been attacked by the
entire German army" reinforced
with men brought from France. The
Germans, however, met defeat in this
sector. The battle for the crossing
of the Narew near Novogorod has not
yet even begun.
This official statement then relates
a Russian success near the mouth OF
the Skwa. The Germans brought up
further reinforcements but all their
efforts to make progress in this sec
tion failed. They are at present en-
deavoring to break through northeast
OF Ostrolenka.
The German losses are described as
severe" in one case and very
heavy" in another. while the losses of
the Russians also are set down as
very heavy
The German admiralty is still with
out reports from the officers concern
ed, on the destruction of the British
steamer Iberian and the American
steamer Leelanaw. Consequently the
governments reply to the American
note on the sinking of the latter vessel
20 days.

GOVERNOR SAYS
ALLEN WILL STAY
Report That Warden of Joliet Peniten

Dunno at Chicago.

Chicago. Ill, Aug. A. Governor
Dunno, who was in this city today,
stated that Edmund NJ. Allen, warden
of the Joliet penitentiary, with whom
he had an interview, would not resign,
as has been rumored. and that there
would be no special session of the leg
islature to deal with the situation re-
sulting from the tying UP of certain
state funds by court action.
Warden Allen asked the governor for
permission to live outside the prison
walls and the governor promised to
give him an answer within As hours.
The warden feels strongly against hav-
ing to live in the prison where his wife
was murdered. Governor Dunno said
that the only question involved in Mr..
Aliens request is whether the effici-
ency of the prison system would be
impaired by his living outside.

Reports on the Iberian and Leelan-

In the meantime, the American en-

The German government believes
that this will be a parallel case to

Atlantic on June IS by the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried

1928 be referred to arbitration, and
the suggestion, if accepted, it is be-
lieyed. would settle the case of the
Leelanaw as well.
A second category of maritime cases
also Is occupying the attention of the
American embassy and the German
foreign Office. These cases arise out
of the action of German warships in
the Baltic bringing American ships
into Swinemuende. Two American yes
sells, the Portland and the Dunsyre,
now are tied up there.
The Portland is an oil-burning craft
which had been released by the Ger
mans after examination, but the ves-
sell used so much fuel in the extra
trip to Swinemuende that she cannot
reach her port destination. The Port
land cannot get oil in Germany.
The Dunsyre was loaded with peas
and beans The sheriff seized her car

mans.
