Bronze Tablet Will Be
Erected at Fort Hunter

A bronze tablet marking the spot
where stood Fort Hunter, five miles
west Of Harrisburg, will soon be dedi-
Gated by the Pennsylvania Historical
society. The marker will be attached
10 a great boulder which is fifteen feet
north OF the grounds surrounding the
mansion now occupied by John w.
Kelly. The mansion is on the exact
spot where the fort once stood. The
society is awaiting the reply of DR.. G.
r. Donehoe, of the Historical Com
mission, who is gathering information
concerning the site and it's early uses.
The tablet is of bronze and shaped
IKE Keystone with the State coat-of
arms on the top. The following in
scrlption is in rcised letters: "A short
olstance west of this stone stood Fort
Hunter, otherwise known as the Fort
at Hunters Hill. This fort consisted
OF block house, surrounded by a
stockade, was built during the winter
OF lIo5-o6. II was used as a base of
supplies and as rendezvous for troops
during the period of the Indian wars.
All traces of this fort were removed
when the present building was erected
IN 1914. Erected by the Pennsylvania
Historical Commission, 1916"
The tablet will be fastened firmly
to large boulder. It will stand by
the roadside, where it will be in the
view of all travellers. The date of the
dedication depends upon the time DR..
Donehoe completes his trip down the
Susquehanna river

Mayor Mitchell and City
Physicians in Conference

New York, July 12.-Mayor Mitchell
and representative physicians of the
city, including the members of the
advisory board OF the health depart
ment. held a conference to-day to as
certain whether any further steps can
be taken to check the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis.
The spread of the disease is gen.
orally around the centers in South
Brooklyn and the lower East Side of
Manhattan, where the epidemic has
tiourished since its development early
in June. Some cases have, however,
been discovered in other sections of
Brooklyn and a few iii the upper resi-
Dental districts of Manhattan.
Warnings against a panic were
issued by the mayor and by the health
commissioner The latter said the
fatalities from infantile paralysis had
not been nearly so great as from other
cpidemics. He pointed out that in the
last epidemic OF measles here there
were from 600 to 800 cases a day,
while the mortality ranged from 20 to
so per cent. More lives were lost and
more permanent injuries resulted from
measles last year than will ensue from
this outbreak of infantile paralysis,
the commissioner said

New "CoId" Light Makes
Substitution of Paper For
CelluOid Films Possible
By associated Press

Paris. July 12.-The substitution of
paper rolls for celluloid films in NOV
ing picture machines, made possible
by the new cold" light discovered by
the French engineer Dussaud, which
is described to the Academy of Sciences
by Professor Branley, with whom Dus-
saud studied the new light. is OBJ
tanned by automatic separation of heat
rays from luminous rays which occur
together in all sources of light hitherto
known to science.
The quest of an absolutely pure
light devoid of all heat long has been
one of the great problems of modern
physics. The electric light is the near
est approach to this idea, but far from
It. as 1t gives off a certain amount of
heat.
NJ Dussaud has been working on
this problem for many years. The
light obtained by his method is so in
tense that 1t is possible to throw
images from newspaper illustrations,
picture postcards and Photographic
prints on a screen even in a lighted
room as clearly and sharply as if they
were glass lantern slides.

Wilson to Urge Nations
to Permit Polish Relief

Washington, July IL. - President
Wilson to-day told a large delegation
of representatives of Polish organiza-
tions that he would make personal
efforts to get relief to the starving
in Poland. 1t is understood he is con-
sidering a personal appeal to the rul-
ers of the nations involved to allow
distribution of food. The State De-
partment already has made one such
appeal to the governments.
The President characterized condi-
tions in Poland as "tragical" and
described the negotiations for the
sending of food as peing against a
stone wall"
John F. Smulski told the President
apparently "a deliberate sentence of
death has been passed against the
people of Poland"
The committee told the President
that what is now needed is permission
from Great Britain to allow ships
carrying food to pass the British
blockade and assurances from Ger
many that the food sent from the
United States will not be used for
military purposes.
