Discussed-City to Borrow Funds. .

Discussed-City to Borrow Funds. .
City Council held a called meeting
on Thursday afternoon when various
matters of public interest were dis,
cussed.
DR.. J. A. Hayne, secretary OF the
State Board OF Health. WIS present.
after having made an investigation OF
the health situation in the city,, and
reported that the cases of typhoid, in
so far as he could ascertain, were due
to unscreened surface closets.
Upon the recommendation of the
city health officer it was decided to
build in each ward in the city two
double closets. Of a sanitary type, for
public use. These are to be erected
in back lots and will be looked after
by the health officials.
Mr.. c. L. Cuttino requested that
the big oak trees on East Hampton
Avenue be removed before the street
was paved and sidewalk laid. Mr..
Isaac Schwartz requested that a side
walk be placed on the south side OF
West Hampton avenue for the first
block from Main street. Council was
to inspect the conditions and decide On
their action as to these requests.
Council decided to give Hardy
Avenue the right of paving over West
Calhoun street between Hardy avenue
and Salem avenue. 'e<e- es
The City Clerk and Treasurer re.
ported that note of the city's for
$4,000 was coming due on July 3ri
and asked for authority to make ar
rangements to borrow money to meet
this note and also fur current expen-
ses and ordinary expenses of the city.
He called the attention of council
to the fact that $4,000 had been
spent recently for permanent improve
ments. The improvements were final
payment on the city hall lot, for the
auto fire truck, for storm drains and
water systems. This was SIS, 900 more
than was spent last year for improve
ments. He stated that $1,000 more
was needed and thought it best that
$4,000 be borrowed. This could be
placed in the local banks at four per.
cent on the city's checking account. He
was authorized to get the rates on
loans of $500 and $S5,O0O.
He asked that he be allowed to run
checking account with a New York
oank to pay notes and interest on
notes. as New York exchange was
needed In arranging of loans, etc. -

The Young Person
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1913. by Frank Crane)


NO, said the duchess, II am fifty, fat,
and fairly fit, thank you; am no longer
young and ! do not care for young people.
II suppose | was rs big fool in my
time as these young animals see around
today. but it is hard To believe. AT any
rate it's all over, thank heaven, and can
have little ease.
"Of course. it's the thing TO say one
adores youth and loves TO have young
.hings about, and 0 that we two were
Naying, and where's the rose of yester-
day and all that, but. honestly, I'm glad
I'm past and out of it,
just listen TO Tom and Caroline and
the rest over there. Did you ever hear
such laughter? From the amazing
amount Of noise you might fancy there
is something funny going on. Not bit
OF IT, They giggle over the most COM
monplace remark. They scream over
nothing are frightened over nothing,
they're in an everlasting stew, fizz.
sparkle, and flame just because they're
young.
Let them enjoy themselves. But
please don't innict them on me. I'd as
soon be with insane people and be done
with it.
Doubtless they think I'm an old cur
mudgeon Let them. have my opinion
Of them.
Youth is utterly selfish. Caroline,
there. assumes this house was made for
her, that her fathers money was accu-
muIatcd only for her, that the servants
are employed for the sole purpose Of
waiting on her, and that the entire house
mold. including me. her aunt. is occupied
every minute Of the day in thinking
about her, planning for her, praying for
her.
It's 50 with every young person.
From fifteen 10 thirty is an age Of in
tense e9otism. the storm belt Of egotism.
Every young man thinks the spotlight
f the universe Is turned on him. He
occupies the geographical center Of the
earth. The horizon comes down at equal
distance on all sides Of him.
Young girls are forever confding to
me their spiritual gripes. Mercy me!
I've had EN-. Why stew over them?
Young men take themselves so seri-
ously. They are so tragic. They are
forever Hamletipg about
You can't talk to young folks about
anything in the way of art, literature,
politics, musc-all they can talk about
is what they think and how they feel,
which IS not Of the least Importance.
And they're so intoerant That's
the worst of it. They brush you gently
by AS IL YOU were an insect Oh. no;
you don't understand. Things have
changed The world is different After
ff'y YOU are dodderinR imbecie!
Pan, They weary me- When one
reaches fifty one is no longer a prentice
one learns what is worth while. one is
capable of enjoying ones self intelli-
IIgently, one is n comfortable. comely
ship sailing somewhere, and not a bit
~ cork bobbing on the waves and blown

The young person infests literature,
dominates the theater, rules society.
They're all Hohenzollerns. I'm tired Of
having everything say and do regulated
by the fear Of the Young Person.
"No excuse me- Why they cannot
even play bridge They must talk and
laugh.
That's why civilization is mad. We

NEEDED AT CAMP
Probability That State Will
Have to Spend Money For
Roads and Water Soon

1t is probable that demands will be
made that Pennsylvania's State au-
thortties take steps to improve not
only roads but other conditions at the
Mt. Gretna mobilization camp before
the proposed camp for recruits il
made permanent. The tentage ship
ped from the State arsenal last night
TO provide 4 camp for the recruits
which 1t is expected will be sent there
was explained to-day by Adjutant GEN
eral Stewart as an advance move. The
adJutant general insisted that nothing
mad been determined about the way
the recruiting was to be handled
1t is known that there were severe
criticisms made Of the roads within the
camp site before the Governor gave
the order to proceed with work and
that the lack of any roads worthy the
name affording communication be-
tween the brigade camps was noted
and will probably be heard from be-
fore long. Another matter which has
been heard of at Washington is the
water supply. There We're times dur
ing the recent mobilization when the
water supply was not adequate and the
lack of duplicate plant in the event
|of break in the existing plant is o
matter OF considerable comment
There have been other things, too.
The policy OF the State regarding its
military establishment has been criti-
cised from time to time as parsimon-
ious, but Il seems to be best exempli-
fed at Mt Gretna.

HAIG PUSHING GERMANS
BACK TO THIRD LINE

CONTINUED From First Page]
BaZentin-le-Petit, Bazentfn = lie Grand
ana Longueval. At this hour tonight
1t appears that there is only one point
IN these German trenches where the
machine guns have not been put out
OF action and demolished completely.
Lacked Organization
FOR a space OF 200 yards the British
swept past section of the trench
where the Germans, refusing to yield,
held out desperately for some time in
FASHION characteristic of the fighting
on the Somme.
Some of the prisoners taken to-day
belonged to battalion from different
divisions rushed to the scene since
July l. They seemed to lack the usual
efficient organization.
Where the British found the going
good they carried their attack beyond
the second line. taking guns and more
prisoners and eeeking to gain higher
points on the ridge. Against these ad-
vance parties the Germans began to
develop stronger resistance.
The success of the morning has won
for the British depth Of three or four
miles of terrain since July 1. This
means also commanding British po-
sitiors which obviously conform the
German line in the Thiepval sector
into bad salient.
Virtually all the detectives were cap
tured to-day IN less than an hour. Two
German colonels and a regimental staff
and other prisoners found themselves
in British hands before daylight had
fairly broken
