DR.. Dixon Tells of His
Work For Farmers

Considerable interest was manifested
late yesterday when DR.. Samuel G..
Dixon, sanitarian to the board. made
his report, which was in part as fol-
lows:
During the two years which elapsed
since | last addressed you the death
rate from water-borne diseases has
been further decreased.
During the last two years over
2.40O barnyard pollutions have been
discovered by our inspectors and
abated by the farmers. This means
that on the average these men are saw
ing $50 per year which would have
been lost had the liquid manure in the
barnyard been permitted to drain into
the streams. This represents a saving
of over $120.000 per year to the farm
ers of the State. The total cost of
making the Improvements necessary
did not exceed 100000.
The sewing to the farmers of Penn
sylvania in one year exceeded the total
cost TO the farmer and to the State in
conserving wasted fertilizer and it also
protected the streams from pollution
and our people from water-borne dis

.FIREBUGS ARE
STILL AT LARGE
Week Since Burning of Three
Schoolhouses, but No
Arrests

One week has passed since frebuge
applied torches to three of Harris
burg's school buildings and not an ar
rest has been made.
State authorities have made a dill
gent search and city officers have
taken a hand. The State authorities
just now are not discouraged for they
are reported to be in possession OF
some material which may lead them
in the right direction. A net is grad
ually being woven and unless the clues
prove entirely false, some arrests may
be expected within the next twenty
four or forty-eight hours.
Search is being made for the where
abouts of a certain automobile on the
night of the fires. The machine was
seen leaving the Vernon building but
the parties who noticed it did not
think to catch the number on the Ii
cense tag. A machine answering the
description of the one seen at the
Vernon school, is reported to have
been in one of the narrow streets at
the rear of the Allison building on
North Fourteenth street shortly after
the alarm was sounded for the fire
at the Shimmell building and it is be-
lieved that the firebugs had that build
ing on their list. That neighborhood
is very thickly populated and it may
have been that the firebugs were scar
ed away before they could accomplish
their purpose. No evidence of any at
tempt to enter the Allison building,
however has been reported.
Children Back at Books
Children of the Vernon school this
morning resumed their studies in the
Shimmell building. The fire which
gutted their building caused them only
five days loss Eight rooms have been
arranged for in the Shimmell building
and the classes will work as usual with
the Vernon building teachers. The
school for detectives, which has been
in the Shimmell building will be
moved to some other section of the
city. according to the school authori-
ties.
