roots-not from where you see it, but
from sea-level-and carefully set
down in the Grand canyon you prob
ably would not notice it next morning,
unless it's dull colors distinguished it
in that innumerable congress of larger
and painted giants.
All this, which is literally true, is a
mere triie of what might be said in
trying to fix a standard of comparison
for the Grand canyon. You may COM
pare all you WILL eloquently and from
wide experience, and at last all SMILES
fail. The Grand canyon is just the
Grand canyon, and that is all you can
say.
1t is no mere cleft. 1t is a terrific
trough 5000 to 1000 feet deep, ten to
twenty miles wide, hundreds of miles
long, peopled with hundreds of peaks
taller than any mountain east of the
Rockies, yet not one of them with its
head so high as your feet, and all
ablaze with such color as no eastern or
European landscape ever knew. And
yOu upOH Tie tuc ulNiut
scene-shifters give you a new canyon
every hour. With each degree of the
suns course the great counter-sunk
mountains fade away and new ones,
as terrific, are carved by the westering
shadows.
The Grand canyon country is not
only the hugest, but the most varied
and instructive example on earth of
one of the chief factors of earth-build-
ing erosion. 1t is the mesa country
the land of tables. Nowhere else ON
the footstool is there such an example
of deep-gnawing water or of water
| high carving. The sandstone mesas
of the Southwest, the terracing of
canyon walls, the castellation, battle
menting and cliff-making, the cutting
down of whole landscape except it's
precipitous islands of fiat-topped rock,
the thin lava tablecloths on tables
100 feet high-these are a few of the
things which make the Southwest
wonderful alike to the scientist and
the sightseer.

most superb. Enough globe-trotters
Many have come cynically prepared
to be disappointed; to find it ovei
drawn and really not so stupendous az
something else. 1t is, after all, hard
test that so be-bragged wonder must
endure under the critical scrutiny OF
them that have seen the earth and the
fullness thereof. But never has the
most self-satisfied veteran traveller
been disappointed in the Grand can
yon, or dared to patronize it.
The quebrada of the Apu-Rimac is
a marvel of the Andes, with it's YER
tiginous depths and it's suspension

yon of the Arkansas, in Colorado, is
noble little slit in the mountains.
The Franconia and White mountain
notches in New Hampshire are beau

stone canyons surpass the world, each
in its way; but If all these we're hung
up on the opposite wall of the Grand
canyon from you, the chances are
fifty to one that you could not tell
t'other from which, nor any of them
from the hundreds of other canyons
which rib that vast gorge. If the falls
of Niagara were installed in the Grand

Lexington, Ky.-Five persons were
shot here Saturday following an al
legged attack by a negro upon Mrs. A.
A. Robertson at her home in Lexing-
toms exclusive residential section. The
police claim the negro, who is as yet
unidentified, shot Mrs. Robertson
through the neck, seriously wounding
her. The police were notified, and,
with a posse of citizens, entered the
home. They were met with fusilade
of shots from the negro's gun. De-
tective James Stuart received a prob
ably fatal wound, while Frank Corbin
and w. j. Gilsdorf, both prominent cit
liens, were seriously wounded. The
posse returned the fire and the negro
dropped with several bullets through
his body.

QUICK, DAINTY DISHES
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR SERVING
UNEXPECTED GUESTS.
BY Seeing That Few Requisites Are
Always In the Larder, Housewife
Need Never Be at Loss
Eggs Always Mainstay.

Often time is more valuable than
money, in the home as well as in bust
ness. For instance. If unexpected
guests arrive five minutes before
lunch hour on the day you had told
the cook you would like nothing but
a biscuit and glass of milk you
would probably count the expenditure
of little money no extravaganza II
by spending 1t you could spread forth
an attractive luncheon for your guests.
Where there are good delicatessen
shops and caterers in the neighbor
hood they reap the reward of your de
sire to save time at the expense OF
money. But where these popular aids
to quick housekeeping do not exist, 1t
is necessary to make up for their lack
by having a larder furnished with sup
plies that can be quickly converted
into dainty dishes for the unexpected
meal.
Eggs can always be quickly turned
into an omelet, made savory with the
addition of minced ham or. chicken
parsley or little jelly just before 1t J
turned A baked omelet, too, with
cooked macaroni or cooked green peas
or asparagus heads added, Is good,
And a plain omelet served with a
sauce of tomatoes and sweet green
peppers simmered together with wa
ter or a little stock until tender, is
good enough to serve as the main dish
of light summer luncheon.
If there is cold meat in the pantry
it can be minced, mixed with a little
mayonnaise and converted thus into
the filling for tempting sandwiches.
| Or it can be minced, simmered with a
little chopped pepper, tomato or pars'
ley. and served on crisp rounds OF
toast. Or 1t can be cut into neat dice,
mixed with half it's quantity Of diced
celery, or a quarter of its quantity OF
sweet green pepper, cut In small
pieces, and moistened with mayon
naise for a salad-with or without let
tuce OF some other salad green, which
may not be on hand.
For dessert, anything cool is accept
able on a warm day. Whatever fruit
there is can be cut into neat bits
mixed with a little shaved ice, sweet
ened and favored to taste, and piled
into sherbet glasses. If there is M
fruit, perhaps there are the ingredi
ents for whip. To make this, bea
the whites of eggs stiff, sweeten will
two or three teaspoonfuls of sugar TO
each white and flavor with anything
on hand-prune juice and pulp, crap
juice, a little melted jelly or canne'
fruit juice, fresh raspberries, straw
berries or black raspberries, crushed
orange juice and pulp or even cocoa
when nothing else is at hand. Serv
daintily, very cold, in long-stemme
glasses. A sweetened omelet makes
good dessert Whipped cream on bit
of plain cake is good. Mullins fror

Labor Federation Takes Ex-

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. II. - The
American Federation of Labor by a
unanimous vote to-day declared
against that provision of President
Wilson's legislative program "making
Illegal any railroad strike or lockout
prior to the investigation of the merits
of the case"
The committee report, which was
adopted, recommended that the con-
ventton take an uneauivocal position
against compulsory institutions and in
favor of the maintenance of insti-
tutions and opportunities for free
dom"
The convention had before it that
section of the executive councils re-
port dealing with the railroad brother
hoods threatened strike. Referring to
the bill introduced in Congress for
the purpose of preventing strikes and
of transportation mod
eled after the Canadian compulsory
investigations act, the report says:
This effort to again subject wage
earners to involuntary servitude has
aroused the determined resistance OF
wage learners generally. To their dec

the proponents of the legislation have
replied that although a strike would
be made illegal under the proposed
law and strikers criminals, yet indi-

WILSON FORMALLY
NOV. 80
AS THANKSGIVING
In Proclamation Says Year
Has Been Rich in Bless
ings For U.s.

Washington, Nov. II. President
Wilson to-day formally by proclama-
tion designated Thursday, November
30. as Thanksgiving day.
Here follows the Presidents procla-
nation:
''lt has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to us and the ma
ton.
The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of thanksgiv-
ing has been rich in blessings to us as
people, but the whole face of the
world has been darkened by war. In
the midst of our peace and happiness,
out thoughts dwell with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles and sufferings
OF the nations at war and of the peo-
pies upon whom war has brought dis
aster without choice or possibly of
escape on their part. We cannot think
of our own happiness without thinking
of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore. l, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
30th of November, as a day of national
Thanksgiving and prayer and urge and
advise the people to resort to their
several places of worship on that day
OF render thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings of peace and unbroken
prosperity which He has bestowed
upon our beloved country in such un-
stinted measure.
And / also urge and suggest our
duty in this our day of peace and
abundance to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world on
whom the curse and terror of war has
so pitilessly fallen and to contribute
out of our abundant means to the re-
lief of their sufferings.
Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abun-
dance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in it's train.
I'm witness whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington
this 18th day of November. in the year
of our Lord 1916, and in the year of
independence of the United States the
141st.

JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOL PLAN
HERE PRAISED
DR.. Halleck, Noted Educator,
Says Separation of Sexes
Gives Better Work

DR.. Reuben Post Halleck, noted
lecturer and writer and principal of
tho boys high school at Louisville.
Ky, who was one of the speakers at
the county teachers institute which
closed this morning, said that he was
highly in favor of the Junior high
school system which will be used
within a short time in city school
courses in Harrisburg.
Dr. Halleck, known throughout the
country as a noted educational leader,
although unacquainted with local con-
ditions. declared that from his fifteen
years experience as principal of the
high school in Kentucky he found
that boys and girls when separated in
high schools do much better work.
He commended the voters of the city
for passing the million and a quarter
loan, and said that as 1t will insure
adequate high school facilities, it
will mean a big advancement in pub
lie school education in Harrisburg.
Institute Ends
One of the most successful county
teachers institutes held in recent
years ended this morning after short
business sessions Final addresses
were made by Dr. Ernest Burnham,
of Kalamazoo. Mich, who spoke on
advantages of the Rural Teacher"
and by DR.. Halleck. Both speakers
reviewed the important points of their
other lectures to the 400 teachers of
the county. They advised the instruc-
tors to always keep moving and make
improvements whenever possible in
everything done in the schoolroom.
Following the addresses the COM
mittee on resolutions recommended
that the institute go on record fav-
oring legislation to provide a teachers
retirement fund in this State. This
resolution was adopted together with
expressions of regret on the death of
Joseph +. Lyter. president of the
Halifax school board, and Elmer
Ream, president of the Middle Pax
ton township board.
