CLAIM HEAT OVERCAME THIRTY
GIRLS IN THE FAIR

AlNNES Nv . ] H. MN
Thirty girls and women tainted at
the Fair department store last Fri
day, according to complaints sent to
Factory Inspector Oscar Nelson.
1t was the same day forty persons
in Chicago dropped dead. from the
heat. And with the large working
force of The Fair, just as in any big
store or factory, it is expected that
during the course Of a fierce summer
hot spell a few girls and women
would drop from exhaustion.
What made last Friday an eXcep-
ton at The Fair was the statistics,
the percentages, the rapidity and
numbers of girls and women swOOn-
ing at the counters.
So many working girls were tenn
poTarily disabled for duty while at the
same time so many customers were
staying away from the hot shopping
district that the store management
closed for the day and let everybody
go early in the afternoon.
81 have no statement for The Day
Book and l will not answer any ques-
lions The Day Book asks, nor will
go into this matter in any way with
The Day Book, was the reply of ]. J.
Buell., general sUp't Of The Fair, to a
reporter yesterday.
The law says department stores
must have ventilating systems in
stalled in Easements and there shall
be a certain amount Of c&5ic air
space per individual worker on the
main and upper floors, said Factory
Inspector Nelson. THE Fair store
complies with these regulations. It
has plenty of cubic air space and it
has followed our suggestions in cor
its basement ventilation sys-
tenn"
There's a lot of kicking from
workers at The Fair that the store
sells all kinds of electric fans, but
operate electric fans for the
relief of its own employees" said the
rpDOrtpr
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-08-01

law in that respect, explained Nell
son.
On a tour over The Fair yester-
day afternoon a Day Book man saw
three sets Of fans in operation. These
were over the ladies' corset section,
the boys and girls book section and
in Sup't BUelPs Office.
Outside of these lonely cooling
mechanisms, the reporter cOuIdn't
locate any other devices stirring the
air and keeping it in circulation for
the reduction of statistics on faint
ing working girls during the dread
dog days.
From SUp't Buells Office the re-
porter walked to the mems clothing
section. On a poop-deck, where
real tall man would bump his head
on the ceiling if he stood straight up,
was a gang of stitching, basting tale
Ors and bUshelmen. They work on
a narrow shelf hanging to the Ada1ls
street wall of the building.
And instead of pressing mems
pants with heavy chunks Of ice, these
tailOrs and bushelmen use hot fiat
irons. It was a steamy place.
'Ah! hahI" said the reporter,
this is where I'll find some of the
fine electric fans like the Fair sells
customers who use Commonwealth
Edison current and keep up to date"
But there weren't any fans. Not a
fan.
And the reporter walked away
wondering what the statistics are on
bushelmen who stitch and haste
during the dread dog days of sum
meT.

City Obtains 1900 Yards
Of "Fill" For New River
Park Area Without Cost

Increased park area along the River
Front is assured before the end of the
present season by the effective system
of filling, grading and planting that
is now being carried out by the park
department on the flats" between
Walnut and Mulberry streets, between
the eastern edge of the river wall and
the toe of the embankment.
For the last few weeks the park
department has been hauling earth
from the excavations of st. Lawrence
German Catholic Church site in State
street. The first supply exceeded 100
yards and yesterday the department
was notified that an additional 500
yards would be provided. AS soon as
the grading is completed. the level
stretches will be sown with grass seed.
The big lot of "fill'' material, as V.
Grant Forrer, assistant park superin-
tendent explained, hasn't cost the city
cent except perhaps for the oc-
casional man who might have been
employed for brief period now and
then to assist in spreading the dirt.

to dump the earth hauls it, using sew

Deplorable Conditions

Deplorable conditions exist in 20

bert presided as chairman of the COM
mittee which had been appointed by
the Chamber to ascertain the opinions
of the merchants in regard to the
change. The committee consisted of
the chairman, w. II. Bennethum, Jr.,
David kaufman, I. Fl. Doutrich, John
c. Soutter and George w. Bogar. A
light luncheon of sandwiches and
ginger ale was served by the Cham-
ber.
Those in attendance were almost
unanimously in favor of making the
change, namely to convert Friday into
Saturday and make a real holiday of
the last day OF the week. There are
still a very few of the merchants
who are uncertain as to the wisdom of
making the change, and the matter
was discussed from every angle, both
the effect on the buyer and the seller
being given careful consideration.
Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Kaufman's
and Bowman's, the three largest de-
partment stores in the city, are heart
lily in favor of the plan, as are the
big majority of furniture, clothing
music and other stores.
Before taking definite action on the
proposition an attempt will be made
to assure concerted action SO that the
closing will be general and none of
the stores remain open on Saturday
afternoons.
1t is expected that a final conclu-
sion will be reached within the next
few days so that If it be decided to
remain open Friday nights and close
at l o'clock on Saturdays the action
Will take effect for next week,

Closing of Paxtang
Subway Cuts OFF New
Parkway Drive Outlet

By officially closing its Paxtang sub
way to the new parkway drive the
Harrisburg Railways Company to-day
practically turned the new drive from
Cameron's extension to the spring
house in Paxtang Park into a dead
end" Automobiles or other pleasure
vehicles will be required to turn in the
roadway and retrace their routes. The
subway is the traction companys
right of way and is not adaptable to
general traffic purposes.
The situation, in the opinion of city
officials, emphasizes the importance of
speedy and definite action on the part
of the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road authorities relative to the con-
struction of the proposed subway on
the driveway route. When the sub
way is finished the way through to
Derry street and incidentally from
Cameron street on the east to Reser-
voir Park will be uninterrupted.
The suggestion that some sort of a
circular end to the present driveway
be constructed temporarily at the end
of the road at PaXtang for the con-
venience of the traffic has also been
suggested.

directed against Russia. Russia will
take part in no arrangement or po-
litical combination directed against
Japan.
Second = In case the territorial
rights or special interests in the Far
East of one of tho contracting parties
which are recognized by the other con-
tracing parties are menaced, Japan
and Russia will consult with each
other on measures to adopt with a
view to supporting or extending terri
tory"
To a question from the Associated
Press representative as to what effect
the alliance would have upon the open
door and the integrity of China, the
foreign Office replied:
The convention is effectually an
emphasis upon and an extension of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance based
upon the territorial integrity of China.
whose open door and integrity are not
endangered. American trade and in
terests are in nowise affected"
The foreign Office denied affirmations
in japanese newspapers that the con-
Vention contained secret clauses, de-
claring that while the summary given
out was the substance of the conven-
tion. 1t also was virtually the text of
that document.
The accord, which is virtually an
alliance, is regarded here as of his
toric Importance as concerns the future
developments of the Far East and
world politics generally. 1t ends a
long period of hostility between the
two empires which eliminated in the
Russo-Japaneso war and strengthens
the position of Japan as a first class
power.
Now that Japan and Russia are
pooling their interests in the Far East
they will free themselves from the
necessity of regarding each other as
pcssible enemies in the future and
from the maintenance or large bodies
of troops on their respective frontiers.
The impression in Toxic Is that the
convention is framed to meet attempts
at the extension of German influence
in the Far East, believed to be unde-
sirable, while the hands of both pow
ers are strengthened in dealing with
the situation in China.
Englishmen and Frenchmen claim
that the second will check efforts az
German aggrandizement after the
war and prevent China becoming the
cause of new international turmoil.
The Japanese are elated over the
conclusion of the convention and the
signing of the document will be COM
memorated at a ministerial banquet
and probably by a popular lantern
procession.
The newspapers welcome the ex-
tension of Japanese influence in the
Orient.
