no you remember the old story Of
] the boy and girl sweethearts who
drifted apart in their youth, he
fired by ambitions of worthy en-
deavor, she by ambitions of social
triumph; how he persevered and be-
came big judge or doctor and how
she married a rich old man, and how
finally the rich old man accommodate
ingly died and the two sweethearts
of youth renewed their love and lived
happily ever afterward? 1t used to
be one of the standard stories, one
guaranteed to wiring a heart throb
and mayhap tear from the casual
reader.
Well, the old, familiar story is be-
ing enacted in real life by Mrs. Mary
Lily I'lagler the 70-million- dollar
widow of Henry NJ. Flagler, and Judge
Robert w. Bingham of Louisville, Ky.
When the engagement of the rich Mrs.
Flagler and Judge Bingham was an

porters that 1t was o renewal of u
youthful romance of quarter of a
century ago. She and Mr.. Bingham
had been sweethearts in Virginia

THE WE'LL FILLED COLD CELLAR
THE State Department of Agricul-
i firo heraIda with oraat acoIaip,

| ture heralds with great acclaim
the advent of the "dollar-a-
dozen" egg, but the housewife will
find very little cause for gloating in
this new price record. What the
woman who pays the family grocery
bills from a limited allowance would
like the department to do is to find a
means of increasing the egg supply,
which OF itself would have a depress-
ing effect on prices.
Boosting the price of eggs doesn't
spell prosperity for the man who eats
them. II Secretary Patton wants the
town vote he'll have to do something
more popular than announce that
eggs have gone to a dollar dozen for
choice varieties.
Seriously, however, the housewife
herself Is somewhat to blame for soar
ing egg prices. Every housekeeper
should have her own egg storage plant.
A few gallon crooks and ten cents
worth of waterglass are all that are
NECESSARY. Eggs so preserved during
the GUNNER when the supply is plenti-
full and the price low will keep the
winter through and will be as sweet

STATE STREET BRIDGE

THE West Shore Firemen's Union
= strikes a popular chord when 1t
suggests the erection of q free
bridge across the Susquehanna river
at this point. Such a structure is
badly needed and would be beneficial
alike to Harrisburg and the West
Shore. The need grows with the popu-
lation, and If the city and the cross
river communities join heartily enough
in the movement success is only a
matter OF time. Not even toll bridges
can stand in the way of aroused public
opinion.
But Harrisburg does not want to
purchase either of the present struc-
lures and we do not believe the West
Shore would look with any great favor
upon such a project. What we want
and what eventually we are going to
Lave is n new bridge.
The logical location for such a
structure is State street, and the bridge
should be built by the State as a part
of the improved Capitol scheme. It
should be a monumental structure,
betting the dignity of the Capitol and
the park to which it would form a
magnificent approach.
This is no impossible dream. 1t is
altos sether feasible and practical The
only reason why the State does not
now admit that it is wrong to ioiu
two important pieces of an improved
State highway system by toll bridge
is lack of funds. The time will come
and soon-when the toll bridge, like
the toll road. in Pennsylvania will be
no more. Then will come the new
monumental bridge, and State street
is its logical location.
Aside from it's relation to the Capi-
tol. there are good and sufficient rea-
sons why West Shore people should
desire it there. Maps of the district
show a subway under the railroad
tracks opposite State street on the
Cumberland side, with possibilities of
new road and driveway at easy
grade as far as Camp Hill and beyond.
Thus would be provided a second
highway to relieve the already con-
gested Carlisle pike-an eventual ne
cessity that will become pressing as
the 'cross-river population grows and
auto traffic becomes heavier.
Everything points toward a free
bridge at State street, with the State
as its builder. We all ought to work
toward that end.

DIR. CRAMPToN's SUGGESTION

TIME suggestion of DIR. Charles
i Champion that a hotel catering
exclusively to colored people
be maintained in Harrisburg is worthy
of attention. Harrisburg has a colored
population larger than most cities of
its size In the North. In the very ma
ture of things these people are bound
to feel the need of hotel accommoda-
tions and they should have them. But
if such hostelry is established it
should be much more than a mere
drinking place. We have quite plen-
titude of such dispensaries in Harris
burg at present. What would meet a
need here is decent. well-kept, prop
erly conducted hotel where the hun
dreds of colored visitors to Harrisburg
could find the entertainment they de-
sire and to which they are entitled,

Happiness a By-Product
TChicago HeraId.l

Happiness is always by byproduct.
1t never comes to those who concen-
trate on securing it. The unhappiest
person in the world is the one who
constantly pursues happiness. Not
more elusive was the nymph that fed
Apollo than is happiness to those who
pursue it as an end and aim. 1t al
ways comes as a result of something
else. The pursuit of noble things, the
things essentially worth while. brings
happiness AS a man goes on life's
journey, with brave heart, doing the
best he can and leaving the issues "to
the powers that wait on noble ends"
he often hears the faint f1utter of in
visible wings. he feels a presence, a
companion. 1t is Happiness.

STATE WILL MAKE A
TEST Of ARSENIC

ATLANTA, Ga, April 10.-The state
of Georgia, through its prison commits

doses of arsenic ranging from one to
thirty grains, and the dogs have ex
I.hibited no harmful effects whatever.
This demonstration was conducted
by DR.. w. Jay Bell, an Atlanta physi-

were supplied by the Georgia state
chemist. They were administered by

claim to public recognition rests large

county, and after that for the move
ment to spread over the state, if it can
be made to spread.

This announcement, according to
present plans, will not be forthcoming
until after the democratic convention
in Macon May 3rd for the election of
delegates to the national convention in
st. Louis.
The launching of the Cobb County

line will prove out when actually test
