Young Woman Blacksmith
Advises Girls to Pronose

Ames. Iowa, May 3O.-Miss Tura
A. Hawk, Iowa State Colleges only
girl student of blacksmithing, has fur
ther demonstrated her versatility bv
winning the faculty cup for the best
extemporaneous address. and she did
it with the subject why Women
Should Propose"
There are three reasons why a
woman should propose - physical.
spiritual and moral" said Miss Hawk,
Il ask you. is there any reason WHY
a strong, able-bodied woman should
not support a husband If she chooses?
No; only time-worn prejudice rears
itself against such procedure.
For the spiritual reason there is
the great saying. Whatever We would
that men should do unto YOU. do We
even so to them AS woman should
be the manager of the old
est of all institutions. the home. is II
any more than fair that she should
be permitted to ask the man of her
ideals, to help her found and operate
that home? Must woman. because
years of common practice have es
tablished custom, wait when she is
ready to begin her life work because
only the men who are not her ideal
will propose ?"

Daisy FIeabane" ii Get
You if You Don't Watch Out

If you're at all susceptible to hay
fever. you'd better be careful If you
go daisy -picking-the daisy flea
bane" IL get you if you don't watch
out
In the June issue Of the "Dauphin
Medical Academician,' the enlarged
and very interesting monthly publica-
tion that is prepared by the Harris
burg Academy of Medicine and the
Dauphin County Medical Society, some
interesting advice about hay fever"
and its causes, etc, is contained in a
leading article.
Hay fever weeds and how they
may be recognized" is the title of the
paper. The chief offenders are al
ready "black listed" as they have no
redeeming features of color, scent or
utility. The chief characteristics are
that they are wind pollinated very nu-
merous, the flowers are inconspicuous
and extraordinarily full of pollen.
But, listen. here's what DR.. Scheppe-
grell. president of the American Hav
Fever Prevention Association, has to
say about the daisy flebane:
Children collect these flowers and
in one whiff will inhale sufficient pol
len to cause a paroxysm of hay fever
lasting three to five days Such at
tacks are almost invariably attributed
to colds the real cause not being sus-
pected. 1t may, in addition, cause
'sensitization, which will make. the
child susceptible TO hay fever in later
years."

MAY JOIN FORCES
Washington Heights Names
Committee to Talk Annexa-
ton With Camp Hill

Washington Heights citizens in
town meeting last evening appointed
Charles II. Bishop. Frank J. Harro
and Gus NJ. Stcinmetz q committee to
wait on Camp Hill Council at its next
meeting and take up with that body
the matter of anneXing Washington
Heights to Camp Hill borough.
The subject of annexation or Great
ing a separate borough for Washing
ton Heights was discussed at length,
Engineer James Thompson showing
by diagram the section proposed to be
included in the tract to be annexed
or Incorporated. 1t was developed
that a twenty mill tax rate for the
proposed borough would yield an in
come of about $500 and that this
would not be sufficient for the pur-
poses, especially since a new school
house would have to be built, about
$3.50 expended the first year to send
children to Harrisburg High Schools
Ga constantly increasing SUM and
that the expenses of a separate bor-
ough would be much greater than If
the territory was simply made a part
of Camp Hill.
1t was shown that the proposed
separate borough would cost the tax
payers much more than would be the
case If the territory were annexed to
Camp Hill and the two communities
governed by one burgess, one council,
one board of health, one school board,
etc. Besides, annexation to Camp Hill
would give Washington Heights free
high school facilities and a graded
school system, which it could not have
otherwise.
The meeting adjourned to convene
at the call of Chairman Frank j.

ductor on the Philadelphia division of
the Pennsylvania railroad, was struck
by a westbound freight train near

Kate K. Snyder, two daughters. Mrs
Irving Brandt of Lancaster, and Miss
Anne Snyder at home; also sisters re-
siding in Harrisburg, Lancaster and
Columbia. Burial will probably be
made at Columbia
An investigation is being made as to
how Conductor snyder met his death.
II is the belief he was stepping from
his train which was eastbound, when
struck by the westbound freight

Creek. He started his service with the
Pennsylvania railroad 40 years ago,
and at one time was located in Column

GERMANS MAKE
NEW DRIVE IN
VERDUN REGION
Throw Fresh Troops in Large
Masses Against French
Lines
PARIS ADMITS RETREAT
Say Bulgarians Advance Into
Greece Through Secret
Agreement

Fresh troops in large masses are
being thrown by the Germans against
the French lines northwest of Nerdun
and twice within the last "a hours
General Nivelle's forces have been
compelled to give ground.
The weakest point in the French
defense appears 10 be in the neigh
borhood of Cumieres between that viii
lage and Dead Man Hill, to the west.
This line was dented by the Germans
for a distance of more than 500 yards
in the third OF series of violent as
saults yesterday afternoon. Last night
the Germans returned to the attack
with a fresh division and Paris ad-
mits that in the face of this drive
the French were forced TO retire
slightly along the Bethincourt-
Cumieres road.
Other Violent Attacks
The German attacks apparently
were equally violent along other sec
tors of the front west of the Meuse,
but according to the French war Of
fice, nowhere else were the Crown
Princes men able to gain ground.
East of the river heavy artillery fire
in the region of Fort Douaumont is
reported.
Advices from the Balkans show a
continuation of Bulgarian activity
along the Macedonian front, following
the recent occupation by King Ferdi-
nand's troops OF forts on Greek ter
ritory in the vicinity of Demir- Hissar.
The Bulsarians are reported TO be
concentrating additional forces near
the Greek border, at Nevrokop and
Nanthia, while along the Nardar river

are being bomharded

All Harrisburg to-day stood with
head barred while the survivors of
Americas greatest lesson in prepared
ness trudged by with the Flag.
The thin blue line" wavered just
a little more perhaps than in years
gone by, and the ranks were not so
full and compact; but then the green
mounds in the cemeteries toward
which the procession moved were more
numerous than year ago and the
year before.
Memorial Day was Just another year
nearer to the day of memories, only.
That didn't prevent the blue-clad
lighters of so years ago from stepping
along any the less gamely; they cheer
fully grinned at the combined efforts
of the oVor-Zcalous weatherman and
the grave old Man with the Scythe and
tramped past-inspirit at least-with
the same vigor that won that first
Grand review after AppomatoX place
in history.

some so years ago anc in whose mem

were fired and taps were called to-
day.
This was at noon when, in response
to the State commanders general or
/ der Grand Army throughout Pennsyl-
vana barred their heaGs and gave five
minutes to memories
The finishing touches to the big
days program were completed last
evening and early this morning EV-
erybody was busy as could be round
the quarters of Post 5S and 116 and
$40 while the Sons of Veterans and
the Spanish war veterans
and the Veterans of foreign service
had their hands equally fun.
What the Rain Couldn't Efface
Just a word about the cemeteries,
too. Hundreds of people crowded the
burial grounds and when the sun went
down last evening, the quietest section
of the city showed the results of loving
care and few tears perhaps, that
even the rainy tears of old Ma Nature
May showers couldn't efface Flow
