AMERICAS GREAT WORK

Upon America has been impressed
the greatest task a country has
ever been called to face, that of
keeping an entire nation and an an
cient and historic state upon the face
of the earth. Some of the men will
come back from the war. They will
establish homes, begin life again.
Thousands upon thousands will never
return. The sturdy little Belgian ma
ton and the Polish state will dwindle
to a handful unless America keeps the
spark of life alight. Every Belgian
baby and every Polish child must be
kept alive if their countries are to be
saved.
It can be done in only one way. We
must feed Belgium and Poland. We
must feed those able to work until
conditions are adjusted and work Gre
ated for them. We must feed those
unable to work-the old and the sick
men and women. We must feed the
children. We must feed the mothers
the mothers with the little babies in
their arms.

IMPORTANT FOR HARRISBURG

TINE one big item of interest for
IL Harrisburg people in the re-
organization plan of the Cen
tral Iron and Steel company, which
has been for some years in the hands
of receivers. is that under its terms
the works are not only to be con-
tinued, but enlarged from time to
time. This, in the judgment of the
creditors committee in charge, will
best serve the interests of those fnan-
cially involved, and certainly it is
highly desirable from the standpoint
of Harrisburg.
The Central Iron and Steel mills
have been for many years one of this
city's largest industries. The COM
plications that took them into the
hands of receivers were not due to
inability of the management to get
orders and it has been the hope.
therefore, OF everybody concerned
that eventually plan would be de-
vised whereby the company would be
put back on sound financial basis.
Smoke pouring from the stacks of the
Central plants is a cheerful sight to
lower end people and they will be
glad of the assurance that there is to
be more Of it than ever in the future.

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION

TINE evident intention of Governor
Brumbaugh and the Legislature
to extend the teaching of agri-
culture in Pennsylvania and to inn
prove farm conditions in general is
to be commended. Particularly i'm
portant is the subject of home econo-
mics.
As recent report of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture puts it, the chief
objections of women to country life
are usual ythe generally small re-
turns in farming, the drudgery OF
farm work. and the social isolation.
More money for home conveniences
and greater efficiency in household
management both have in view the
lessening of the drudgery of farm
work and the securing of certain
periods of leisure to farm women
which may be used in productive. So
cial and recreational ways.
Farm women need more money for
home purposes. The purchase OF
home conveniences, the installation OF
water, sewerage, lighting and HEATING

and music into the home are. in the

MIR. MlNyING,s LETTER

THERE will be general disappoint-
ment among all who favor the
city beautiful over the statement
of Warren H. Manning, the city's land
scape architect, that the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company is not fol-
lowing the architectural lines origi-
nally agreed upon in the erection of its
coal dock on the island near the filter
plant. We can hardly believe that the
officials of the light and power COM
pany mean to deliberately break faith
with the city in this important matter.
In letter published in another col
umn of the Telegraph this evening
Mr.. Manning calls attention to the
situation and all of Harrisburg will
hope that immediate steps win be
taken by the public utility in question
to correct the condition of which the
city's landscape adviser complains.

EVERY highway leading to Har-

doubtless realizes how important it is
for the seat of government to set an
example for, the entire Common
wealth.
Harrisburg should be the hub of the

DESTROY THE FLY NURSERIES

ONE of the prime objects of clean
up week Is the destruction of the
residing places and nurseries of
Mr.. and Mrs. Typhoid Fly. Recent
issues of the medical journals have
devoted much space TO literature on
the fly and its menace to health, and a
vigorous campaign has been started
against the pest.
Once flies were considered merely a
nuisance, but since science began delv-
ing successfully for causes of the ills
that affiict mankind it has been dis
covered that they were the carriers of
disease germs and primarily respon-
sible for many of the fevers that are
deadly during the summer months. In
the interest of health it therefore be-
comes important to devise means of
eliminating flies or reducing their num-
ber by as many millions as possible.
Screens and due attention to the flies
that manage to force entry to the
house afford protection, but the great
est safeguarding of health in general
lies in preventing the pests from breed
lIlE. W ISIl IL 10 IGetllNSu Nlicll tAlO OS-
.scendants of a single fly number more
than a million during season it will
be readily understood that systematic
effort to keep the eggs from Matching
can accomplish great deal. Experts
state that 9S per cent. of the eggs are
laid in stable manure and per cent.
in garbage and other filth. The period
of incubation is ten days. Among
methods of prevention suggested are
the spading of the stable refuse into
the ground every day and placing the
refuse in pits covered so as to make
them inaccessible to flies.
The campaign against mosquitoes has
driven yellow fever out of cities where
it formerly reaped yearly harvest
and has rendered remote the proba-
bility of that disease in this country. 4
vigorous war against the house fly is
the next thing in order.

HISTORY WRITTEN IN FASHION.

No one can study history scientific
ally without also studying contempor-,
aneous costume, says the Youths
Companion, for the temper of the
times inevitably reflects itself in the
fashions that it produces. The rich
fancy of the Middle Ages found eX-
preston in voluminous folds and mag
nificent embroidery, and slippers so
long that their toes had to be held
up by chains fastened to the knee.
In the time of the French revolution
tho passion for republicanism was so
sweeping that the costumers went
back to the days of republican Rome,
and produced an ardent if somewhat
incorrect imitation of the classic style
an imitation that was responsible for
the short waist that came into vogue
throughout France, and afterward
throughout England.
Today shows a similar transforms
ton in style as result of the great
European war, although many of th1
great French designers are at the
front, and the gowns and the coat:
that women are wearing now were
put out in the early days of the con
