ures show that there has been total
gain of nearly 200 pounds since last
September and there Is an average
gain of five pounds. The institution is
doing everything we hoped it would
for the health of Harrisburg. Last year
the Civic Club made $1,000 from the
sale of Red Cross stamps and that was
just sufficient to pay for the car fares.

ENGINE SCARCITY
BLOCKADE FACTOR
Pennsy Requests Rush Work
on New Equipment; Repair
Shops Busy

Scarcity OF motive power between
Pittsburgh and New York is now said
to be the big factor in freight con-
gestions reported at several points.
With view to relieving freight tie
ups the Pennsylvania officials, it is
said, have made n special request to
the Baldwin Locomotive Company to
rush orders on hand for new en-
gines.
The Juniata Shops at Altoona,
where considerable work is being
done, is also busy center. Night and
day forces are rushing work on en-
gines and new cars. To date forty
of the larger type of freight engines
have been delivered, and are doing
service on the Middle and Philadel-
phia divisions. During the coming
week, six more engines will be de-
livered.
In addition to these rush orders
the Harrisburg shops are working
overtime on repair work. To-day
travelling engineers and attaches OF
the motive power departments were
on the move locating engines, to meet
! the demand.
