Mutual Benefits Gained

1t Is obvious that the third annual
trade excursion of the Harrisburg
chamber of Commerce is going TO be
or benefit to the capital city in several
ways. but chiefly through the fine
spirit OF warm friendship which, judg-
ing from local results. must have de-
veloped at each of the places visited
by the tourists.
No doubt. the people of these favor
ed towns will hereafter have a more
kindly feeling for Harrisburg, her
people and her products, just because
they have met and fraternized, even
though briefly, with the capital city
trade boosters.
Williamsport has always had a

of late years the people of that city

BEAUTY AND UTILITY

In further proof that the labor of

that the milliners have taken it into
their heads to decorate the seasons
hats with onions, carrots. beets and
similar colorful products of the truck
garden. If fashion sets the seal of
its approval upon such decorations
the principal menace to birds of gay
plumage will be removed and the
Audubon societies may know that
they have not lived in vain. Further,
n great step will have been taken in
the direction of realizing that cherish

The beauty of the useful having

be accomplished is the recognition of
the usefulness of beauty. This next
logical step is easily taken. and should
appeal to the sex that has already
conceded so much TO the idealists. In
using bird plumage for hat decorations
women could plead only that beauty
is its own excuse for being and that

THE SEARCHLIGHT
CURING THE IEPER

One of the greatest achievements of
medical science in history is indicated
in the report from the Philippine
Islands that twenty-three lepers have
been pronounced free from all trace of
disease for a period of two years or
more. According TO number of eX-
amining scientists, these men and
women are now entitled to return to
their homes.
The lepers were under treatment in
an asylum under the direction of the
United States Hospital Service in the
Philippines. This asylum is far in
advance of most similar institutions
1t is a model village, with the best
equipment for sanitation and comfort
Police duty is done by leper police
men. who have proved trustworthy
and loyal in the enforcement of regu-
lations. Light agricultural work is
provided for those capable of perform
ing it. A small theater and q band
furnish the element of amusement.
Leprosy is one of the oldest of dis
eases known TO man, and one of the
most terrible. 1t has always been con-
sidered incurable. Should the future
show that the experts are correct in
believing that the course of treatment
used in the Philippines is a cure in
even some of the cases it will repre-
sent a victory over one of the oldest
enemies of the race.

FIGHT ON LIQUOR

CLOWLY but surely old John Bar
y leycorn is being forced toward the
door. Not so many years hence
this one-time boon companion at every
convivial gathering will be out in the
cold listening to the laughter within,
and there will be fewer headaches next
day at work and fewer heartaches at
home. and men will wonder why for a
moment they ever tolerated the pres
ence of the red-nosed old rascal whose
beckoning glass lures always toward
ruin and the grave.
The liquor interests are Withholding,
| by every trick and influence they
know, reasonable regulation. The re-
suit. when the people are fully aroused,
will be that which always happens
when an angry public takes the saddle
Legislation of an extreme kind, and
national prohibition will be enacted.
Thirty years ago." says Senator
Cummins, of Iowa. Il should have said
Prohibition was impractical. Under
the conditions that existed then it
would have meant putting in the fiela
two unregulated saloons to the one
regulated saloon. But the world has
marched along in these thirty years
until now there is sentiment enough in
the United States to abolish the saloon.
The United States ought to abolish it,
and will"
The Washington correspondent of a
Chicago daily calls attention to the
fact that Albert Baird Cummins, a
man feared and respected on the floor
of the United States Senate, is dead
against booze, and is the first presi-
Dental possibility of a major party
that ever came out fiat-footed in favor
of prohibition on a national scope"
The handwriting is plain upon the
wall. Liquor drinking has become an
industrial as well as moral issue, and
history holds no example of anything
that has been able TO withstand these
two forces when allied and supported
by the people. Even slavery, en-
trenched as it was, had to give way
before them.

acquires the habit-and habit IL is--it
is by chance rather than intent. Our
boys and girls, a majority of them. at
least, live on the bounty of their
parents. They spend as much money
as they can get, and dress better than
they can afford. They are sorely in
need of little instruction along the
lines of personal thrift, and there are
so many ways in which thrift may be
practiced that there should be no lack
of material for the essays Professor
Dibble has required of his students.
While the saving of money is only
one aspect of thrift. it is very impor-
tant. especially because of its influence
on character building. 1t also is more
tangible and affords easier means of
obtaining statistics. 1t can be taken
for granted generally that one who is
thrifty with ones money also will be
thrifty with ones time. for time is
money" and its proper use is essential
in fortune building.
Luck does not figure in fortunes
made from small beginnings any more
than it figured in Russell Sage's for
tune. 1t is thrift that turns the trick.
Sage always said there was no such
thing as luck, for he started out as a
grocery clerk at 81 a week. But he
was contented and ambitious. and as
his wages slowly increased he saved
always a little. till at the age of
twenty-one he had a store of his own.
Later he sold the store and went to
New York. where he took a place as
office boy at very low wages. But he
worked himself steadily up until he
became a financier himself. Mr.. Sage
believed that anyone could succeed if
he would. but that most young men
are not anxious to rise. OF course, he
said. if they found themselves rich
they were glad, but they were not will
ing to work and save and make them
selves rich. II never knew anyone"
Mr.. Sage is quoted as saying, Ito OBJ
tain lasting wealth without lots of
hard work.
Thrift is an essential to contentment
and success and we do we'll to start
our young people thinking about it.

DOES 1T PAYF
by Wing Dinser

This is the day when parents call
The children to their knees
And pour into the little ears
This time-worn, threadbare wheeze:
when Georgia was little boy
lie put upon the bum
One cherry tree. which made his dad
Grow suddenly quite glum.
And when his daddy quizzed wee
George,
George looked him IN the eye
And said, Dear dad. l cut it down,
1 cannot tell lie"
But parents, dear, l muchly doubt
The wisdom of our act
In pouring into little ears
The story of this fact.
Last year / told my kids this tale
And one asked. Did his dad
Lick George?" To which / said, 20, no.
He was a truthful lad"
And ever since, when he's been bad
Hes come to me. this youth.

FEDERALIZE THE GUARD

TINE continental army plan having
gone by the board, apparently, it
is now up to Congress to pass a
strong and comprehensive law fed
eralizing the National Guard. Unless
this is done, the present situation with
regard to preparedness will not have
been improved.
The National Guards of the various
States must come under the direction
of the national government. They
must be made to all intents and pur-
poses a reserve arm OF the regular
army. They must be a harmonious,
cohesive force, ready to step into the
ranks at moments call, and much
revision, change and reorganization
will be necessary to thus put them
constantly on a war footing. Their
period of actual drill in the field must
be increased; they must be given the
benefit of more regular army instruc-
tion; they must be equipped in every
way on a par with the regular army:
they must be taught all the arts of
war that a regular knows; and the
task is a gigantic one. but not impos-
sible of accomplishment.
No political force. no State feeling
and no State ofilcialdom should be per-
mitted to stdnd in the way of bringing
this about; and last. but by no means
least, legislation must be adopted
whereby the troops may be sent out of
the country, IL necessary, without the
preliminary of declaration of war.
