GETTING OUT AMONG THE BUYERS

Through an arrangement made by the Chamber
of Commerce about one hundred Harrisburg bust
ness men are swinging around the loop OF Cen
tral Pennsylvania cities to-day and tomorrow, let
ting those cities know what Harrisburg is good for
in a commercial and business way. The scheduled
stops include Sunbury, Bloomsbury, Wilkes barre,
Hazleton and Reading and many intermediate
towns and cities At each stopping place the Har
rsburg delegation is being met by committee of
local business men and in this way spreading infor
nation about the Capital City and acquiring infor-
nation about the cities visited.
Business men more than recognizing the
advantages of coming into personal contact with
other business men. This well-planned trip of the
Chamber of Commerce is designed to make per-
sona contact easier. This trade excursion" will
help not only Harrisburg but the cities that the
Harrisburg party visits. 1t will not only give the
Harrisburg business men better idea of how and
where they sell their goods but it will give the
cities visited better idea of how they can buy
more advantageousy.
Harrisburg's future distributing center for
wholesale houses is very bright. Mr.. William B.
McCaleb superintendent of the Philadelphia divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in widely-read
interview recently published in the Star -Independ-
ent, laid particular stress on this important phase
of the future development of Harrisburg, his opin-
ions being based on the fact that the railroad
pany is providing exceptional facilities for distri-
button through the erection of the big freight re-
ceving station in South Harrisburg. The Chamber
of Commerce even before that had recognized the
possibilities of this city the Heart of Distrbu-
ton, and it has omitted no opportunity to
age the bringing of warehouses here
But Harrisburg might have facilities for distribu-
ton equal to those of the leading commercial cities
of the world without benefiting thereby unless it
educated the people of the territory near Harris
burg to the fact that Harrisburg has things to SELL
In other words the cty's business men must create
the market, and there is no better way to do this
than by doing just what the members of the Cham
ber of Commerce are doing in their present trip
getting right out among the buyers and telling them
what we have to sell and how we can get the goods
to them

A prominent physician of this city

WAR CANNOT BE IGNORED IN SCHOOLS

AS the war assumes larger and larger proportions
educators in this country are becoming more and
more worried by the question whether facts about
the conflict should be taught in the public schools
While arguments are being put forward in educa-
tional journals and in various other ways, it seems
not at all unlikely that the war is topic of fire.

schools and in high schools throughout the country
With war as huge as this one in progress, and
with the latest news from the fighting zone under
discussion wherever newspapers read, it would
be impossible to keep mention of the passing events
from being made in school rooms even should such
restriction be deemed necessary by authorities

Sea Captain Dies at 1OS

Caetain David Jackson, los years
old, who just died of heart disease at
his home in footing, near London, was
for nearly fifty years a master mariner
on ships between England and America.
He made his first trip as cabin boy
in 1917. Captain jackson received a
letter of congratulation from the King
on his Tooth birthday, and a similar
letter each year since. One of the old
mans boasts was that only once had
he been aboard steamship, all his
other voyages having been made in the
days of sailing vessels.

The PYrophora

A living light, called the pyrophore,
makes illumination cheap and conven,
lent in Brazil The pyrophore is a
monster FREELY an inch and half long.
With one it is possible to read fine
print, and three will light room. The
Brazilian peasant, when he traverscs
by night the perilous forest paths of
his country, fastens to each shoe a
pyrophore. Thus illuminated, he has no
difficulty in avoiding poisonous snakes,
pitfalls and wild beasts. The Brazilian
coquette fastens in her hair or her cor.
sage a pyrophore incased in white tulle.
The effect is as of great luminous
pearl or opal. When pyrophore s
light goes out it is not necessary to
fill him up with oil, to drop coin in
him or to throw him away, but mo-
ment s duckirg in cold water suffices.
Thereafter his three little lanterns, one
on the breast and two on the back, emit
again as bright radiance as ever.

The demand that the terms of peace,
when made, shall be in plain language
which the common people of the various
countries can understand, is voiced by
Herr con Heydebrand, leader of the
Conservative party in Germany. in an
address which has just reached Germans
in Copenhagen. Won Heydebrand is
quoted as saying:

how 1t has become possible for Ger.
many to be so alone in the world, and
there is feeling that German diplo-
matte ability could have been more
pronounced. When the terms of peace
come to be considered, we shall not
allow these terms to become involved
in sort of complicated diplomatic art,
but they should be put into language
which the common people can under,
