mands society and social enjoyment
1t will have them, good or bad.
Those who earn above their living
expenses find expression Of this almost
universal human need in the social
clubs, the Rotary club, the country
clubs, lodges and other organizations
of the kind, where they meet their
friends and discuss common interests.
This is the social gatherings most use
full function-that 1t permits men TO
know one another better. But not
all can afford the luxuries OF clup
membership and at all events these do
not meet the needs of the young peo-
pie, so it is only within reason to think
and plan now for what is sure to
come-and the sooner the better
social centers in our schoolhouses un-

Speaking of cleanup week." there
is much complaint growing out of the
conditions resulting from the Indifferent
handling of coal at two or three points
along the river and especially on the
thoroughfare which is perhaps more
widely used for pleasure and enjoyment
than any other street in the city. If
there is to be any aesthetic value what
soever to the city of Harrisburg, and
we believe that the ffteen-year cam
paign for the introduction of improve
ments has not been waged in vain, why
then do we permit to be continually dis
figured one OF the attractive park

From the Nav Films

He was standing in the garden, ar
rayed in the glory of the first white
flannel suit of the season. The sun
light slanted goldenly through the very
young leaves the crocuses were spring
ing up through the very young grass.
1t was a gay, happy world, full of songs
and laughter and mirth-tinted in blue
and gold and green. The boy looked
down at his immaculate white trousers
complacently.
"In the Spring" he quoted, "a young
mans fancy lightly turns
HUH" murmured the girl, quite
rudely interrupting him. She was
kneeling in front of a very new flower
bed, dressed in the picturesque but
rather dusty comfort of a green linen
garden smock. She held a trowel
firmly in a determined but grimy little
hand. All at once she turned her
head. and, blinking in the sunlight,
looked up, into the boys face. IF you
say that bromide again, you shall go

The girl fell to digging spitefully in
the brown soil of the very new flower
bed.
"Oh-h!" screamed the girl sudden
ly as her trowel struck fat. wriggly
worm. "Oh-h!" she screamed again,
y
ed toward the house.
GO up on the porch" he suggested.
This garden is full of worms. You
need man to dig garden beds anyway.
Tomorrow I'll come in the overalls
and do your digging for you"
! Diplomacy won, and the girl, still
shuddering at the memory of the
worm, suffered herself to be led to the
porch.
The boy reached blindly for the
girls hand.
Dear" he murmured, dear, II

supper. 1 think I'll make a strawberry

turn to that. Are you going to stay
and stop being foolish, or. are you 60

The boy in all the glory of his
Springtime white suit looked deeply
into the heart of the sunset The
pinkness reminded him vaguely of

made wonderful shortcake.

OUR TRUCKS ABROAD

THE war has given our automo-
bile truckmakers an opportun-
ity to demonstrate their wares
in France, England and Russia. Re-
ports received last week indicate that
the machines have given satisfaction

likely that this market. once establish

"A est throughout the city in every
thing that makes for its better
ment we print herewith letter to the
Telegraph which embodies a very in
teresting suggestion:
Pardon an inquiry, but I have
been wondering of late IL considera-
tion could not be given to naming
State street Commonwealth Ave-
nue." The connection this beauti-
Capitol Park extension has brought
the matter to my mind. Inasmuch
as Pennsylvania is a common
wealth and not state, 1t seems
to me that the street is at present
bearing the very opposite of the
name it ought to have and that giy-
ing II an appropriate name would
dignity the street
This is a small matter, but have
always wondered why State street
was so called when 1t was not situ-
ated in a state. but in Common
wealth I am bringing this matter
to your attention because of your
keen interest in civic problems.
There is some force in this sugges-
tion and the Telegraph would be glad
to have the ideas of other readers re-
garding the proposed change in the
name Of this important highway. With
the landscape treatment of the ex-
tended Capitol Park zone and the prob
able subway under the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks in State street. nc
other highway will be so likely to at.
tract the favorable attention OF
visitors. 1t will be the main avenue
from the east and as the chief en-
trance to the Capitol it is certain to
become more and more the Appiar
Way of the Commonwealth.
Governor Brumbaugh and the other
members of the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings will soon take
up for serious consideration the sur.
vey and landscape treatment in the
older as well as the new section of the
park and they might with propriety
consider the suggestion herewith.
