BOYER THANKS EVERYBODY

H. A. Boyer, president of the school
board, made an announcement this
noon to the Telegraph, in which he
expressed his thanks to all who helped
to make the parade success. He
said: II desire, by this means, to
thank everybody that had anything at
all to do with the scnool children's
parade. The pageant in itself was a
complete success, made so by that
spirit that contributes so literally to
the success of any undertaking-loy
atty. l desire to emphasize my ad-
miration of the loyalty displayed by
the teachers; of the excellent exhi-
bition of discipline in the student
booy; and to pay my highest COM
pliments to the genius displayed in,
and the excellent taste used in the
more than beautiful blending of col
ors. In fine the demonstration was
one of much announcement and an
inspiration to go still further in the
great cause of education.
Patrons parents, supervisors, prin-
cipals, teachers, pupils. officials and
friends please accept my most hearty
thanks, and show your interest by vis-
iting the schools.

The Fair Are There
With the vision or the color spec

morning still in its minds eye, Harris
burg turned eXpectantly to the Water
Front this afternoon. And their eX-
pectations were realized. The weather
man could not have been more kindly
and the canoeists and other boatmen
turned out enmasse.
AS always, Harrisburgs fairer ath-
lete was there, conspicuously fetch

and single scull crews of the Fair

worth while.
Years have passed since Harrisburg
people have seen a race by rowing
shells and many an incident of the
long-ago days were recalled by the old
river followers.

What "earbIer" Once Meant.

"Garble," "garbled," 'garbler," are
words which nowadays convey quite
different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. "Garble" orig
inally signifed simply "to select for a
purpose" At one time there was an
officer, termed "the garbler of Spices
whose duty it was to visit the shops
and examine the spices, ordering the
destruction of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those of the in.
spector of the modern health depart
ment, who forbids the sale of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat. The word
comes from a root meaning ito sift."
The impurities sifted out have in the
course Of generations corrupted the
term till 'sgarbled report Is no long.
er a report wberefrom all uncertainty
has been removed. but one that is full
Of Misrepresentation and made mis-.
leading with deliberate intent.

SWISS DIVORCE CASES.
The Court Always Tries to Settle
Them by Reconciliation.

The Court Always Tries to Settle
Them by Reconciliation.
In one important respect the Swiss
surpass other nations in the manage.
ment of their divorce cases, says an
English correspondent.
In every town there is a kind OF OH.
cial paper known as the Feuille davis,
in which one may read daily the fol-
lowing announcement:
IN. and Nine. K, who are in In
stance Of divorce, are requested to APP
pear privately before the judge, alone
or with their lawyers, In order to come
to reconciliation If possible
Before the beginning Of every d.
vorce case in Switzerland this notice is
published and sent out to the interest.
ed parties, leaving the couple, of course,
free to attend before the judge or not,
as they wish. Often the couple meet.
Although there are no statistics pub
lished on the subject, am told BY a
leading lawyer In Geneva whose spe-
cialty is divorce cases that at least 30
per cent of divorce cases-'much to
my loss, unfortunately" the lawyer
added, with smile are settled by the
paternal advice of the judge at these
meetings out of court.
In fact, Swiss lawyers win not def.
nitely take MP divorce case until It
has passed through the reconciliation
process.
II one of the couple does not attend
the rendezvous this means that the af.
fair is to be fought out, but in any case
Swiss divorces are not expensive San

outIawry In Scotland.

The unusual sentence of outlawry
recently pronounced by the Scottish
courts is relic Of the days before ex.
tradition existed. For 1t was the usual
punishment Of those who wilfully
avoided the execution of legal process
and was inflicted upon the criminal
who fled the country and could not be
brought back. In the old days to be
outlawed-in the case of women they
called it waived -meant that one could
be knocked on the head by any passer-
by. and outlaws in fact were said to
be caput lupinum-that Is, they had q
VOLTS head and could be treated as q
