Big Improvements at
SteeltOn in '16 Are
Announced by Officials

Another big improvement program
surpassed in magnitude only by the
big extensions of last year has been
announced by officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company for the Steelton
plant, for the present year.
The program included the construc-
ton of new 14-inch and 16-inch mer-
chant mills, a new plant for sinter-
ing the fiue dust from the blast fur
naces and fine ores and an extension
to the present machine shop with the
addition OF more machine tool equip
ment. No. blast furnace will be re-
modelled and reconstructed, as an
nounced some time ago, and extensions
will be made to the. blast furnace power
plant. This Will consist of one gas
driven blowing engine and one 5000
XIV gas-driVen electric generator. A
2,400 horsepower boiler plant will also
be built.
At the Lebanon plant the company
will add to its ore concentrating and
sinterinS plant.
The improvements at the local plant
will entail the expenditure of many
thousands of dollars and will give work
to many men. Completion of the pro-
gram will mark another step towards
placing the plant on a part with the
best equipped steel-making mills in
the country, and will show another eX-
ample OF the energy ana industry OF
e-president j. V. W. Reynders

WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT ORDINANCE
Municipal Circles Wonder Why
Measure Doesn't Mention
Sewer and Other Things

That members of Steelton's borough
council will carefully study the pro-
visions of the ordinance granting the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company the
right to construct a new freight spur
from Harrisburg to the Pennsylvania
Steel Works and establishing three
grade crossings, now before council on
third ana final readings, before they
vote in favor of the final passage Of
the measure. was intimated in mu-
nicipal circles this morning.
As the ordinance now stands per-
mission is granted the railroad to es-
tablish three grade crossings; the
first at Franklin street with three
tracks; the second at Conestoga street
with three tracks and the third at
Trewick street with one track. In
return for establishing these cross
ings, which residents of the West Side
declare would make travel from this
section to Front street rather danger
Gus, the borough receives nothing, as
the ordnance now stands.
The rather widely-discussed elimi-
nation of the old canal nuisance is
not assured by this measure accord
ms to municipal circles, and neither
does the ordinance say that any
sew er will be built by the Railroad
company to drain the upper end of
town-now cared for by the canal
as a more or less widely discussed re-
port has intimated.
OF course, friends of the ordinance
point cut, the measure doesn't say
that the sewer will not be built at no
expense to the borough it merely
doesn't mention the sewer or elimina-
ton of the canal nuisance at all. And
men closely identified with the best
interests of the borough feel that the
ordinance should be more explicit and
say just what the borough will re-
ceiVe in return for the valuable rights
1t confers by the measure.
So that is why councilmen are Civ
ms the measure serious study before
passing it finally.

Continued from First Pagc.I

$442.S3 while the number of banks
increased from ., 100 to 2159.
The Comptroller's principal recon-
m mendation for legislation is for an
amendment to the bank law author
izing and directing the Department of
Justice to bring suits against usurers
upon information furnished either by
the Comptroller or through other
sources
Other recommendations given un-
der a heading ITO Prevent Bank Fail
ures" propose: To prohibit officers
from borrowing from their own
banks; to prevent loans to directors
except with the approval of the
board; to require officers and en-
ployes to give surety bonds: to limit
direct and indirect loans to one in
dividual, firm or corporation; TO pre-
vent or limit overdrafts to require
certificates of deposit to be signed by
two directors: to prevent erasures on
the books of bank: to limit interest
paid on deposits; to authorize the
establishment of branches in the
United States: to permit branches in
Alaska and insular possessions to
authorize minimum interest charges
which ordinarily might be usurious
ON small loans and to authorize the
Comptroller to bring proceedings
against directors for losses sustained
by a bank through violation of the
bank act.
I'ha report renews the Comptroller's
recommendations of last year for
other legislation, including the Civ
ing of authority to the Comptroller
to remove directors guilty of persist
ent violations of the bank act.

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way to end dand-
ruff that has never failed. Dandruff
is caused by a little parasite or germ
that burrows underneath the scalp
and feeds on the nutrition that should
go into the scalp and hair. The only
way to kill dandruff is to kill the dand-
ruff germ. To do this, go to the drug
store and get a small cake of
Vacuum, and dissolve il in a pint of
hot water. Then apply to the scalp
as a shampoo. In a short time your
dandruff will disappear. For sale by

Ninety-nine out OF every hundred dol
lars spent for elastic and spring trusses
might about as well be thrown away.
Close to ten million dollars a year -
in this country alone-is practically
wasted on such contraptions.
And all simply because nine sufferers
out of ten trust to a mere trS-on or

Mere Try-On Is Snare
You can't possibly tell anything about
truss or anything else for rupture
merely by trying it on.
\ truss or so-called appliance" may
seem alright at first and afterward
prove utterly worthless.
The only way in the world You can
make sure of exactly what you're get
ting is by making q thorough sixty
day test without having to risk any
money.
The Only Thing Good Enough
To stand n 6O-Day Test
There is only one thing of any kind
for rupture that YOU can get on sixty
DAYS trial
Only one thing good enough to stand
such a long and thorough test
That is our guaranteed rupture hold
Well make one especially for your
case-make it to your measure-and
let you try ii sixty days
Well practically lend it TO you that
lonE-without asking you to risk
penny.
If it doesn't keep your rupture from
coming out or bothering you in any
way, no matter how hard you work or
strain-if il doesn't prove every claim
We make-then you can send it back
and it won't cost you a single cent.
