Observation-Disclosures:
WHY HAS NOT HARRISBURG?
BY BRIGGS

mate which makes the creation of arti-
hcial lakes a necessity, is a most po-
tent actor in drawing bathers to the
water.
When the Washington Park beach
first opened, the theory of the city au-
thorities was that all accommodations
should be free to the public. No charge
was made for suits, lockers or towels
1t was found by experience that the
bathers would use far more than their
just share OF the service under this
condition The beach was then placed
upon a self-sustaining basis. Adults
were charged ten cents for a bathing
suit, fve cents for a locker and two
cents for a towel and soap. Children
were furnished suits for five cents
and the boys were given a change room
in the basement where they could check
their clothes without charge.
Not one complaint was registered
against the new system and the city
maintains, from the prooeeds, two
guards, a janitress. two counter at
tendants and washer. Every suit
after use, is boiled, run through three
waters and sun dried.
"Of the total number of bathers
three out of every four have their own
bathing suits. \ bather walking oil
motoring to the beach. clad in his bath
ing suit, and covered by a raincoat
is not an infrequent sight in Denver
In 1914 the operating expenses al
Washington Park beach were one thou
sand, eight hundred and siXty-four dol
lars. The receipts were two thousand
two hundred and siXty-eight dollars
In 1915, cool summer in Denver, the
operating cost was one thousand, seven
hundred and. fifty-four dollars. The
receipts announced to two thousand and
sixty dollars.
During the one week preceding
July 4th. 1916, the receipts amounted
to four hundred and fifteen dollars, in
dicating the increasing popularity.
With the surplus expected this sum-
mer,, hot showers will be added to the
cold now at the beach.
Berkeley Park beach, at the western
limit of the city, was built in 1918, at
a cost of eight thousand, two hundred
and fifty dollars The owner of the
surplus water and the adjoining land,
at his own expense put in an outlet
for this city lake. In its capacity the
bath house is the same as the Washing
ton Park beach. With progress in
ideas the double-pier. plan at Washing
ton Park has been abandoned or a
single pier at Berkeley. The city has
let the bath house out as a concession,
but prices are the same as at the
Washington beach. The purpose is to
keep a record of the two methods for
comparison
This summer a boys beach was
started at Cooper lake, where a play
ground attendant acts as guard, and
has charge of tent where the boys
change their clothes"

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER
DAIRY INSPECTION

DROPoSAL OF the State Depart
ment OF Agriculture TO supervise
and inspect the operations OF all
creameries and other places where
dairy products are made in Pennsyl-
vania is altogether in accord with the
needs OF the situation. Right here in
Harrisburg we are having an example
of neglect along this line. 1t is no.
body's particular duty TO inspect milk
stations and creameries lying without
the city limits so. except when
emergency arises, they are left largely
TO be regulated according TO the care
or carelessness OF their owners or
managers. Consequently we have, as
result OF the dirtiness of a few such
places, q large number of cases OF
typhoid fever and every ice cream
dealer and maker in the city to some
degree is under suspicion.
Blameless dealers. as we'll as those
who have knowingly or ignorantly
used contaminated milk IN the manu-
facture OF ice cream, are suffering in
business way for the carelesSness or
recklessness Of the few, and hundreds
of people are denying themselves an
ordinarily healthful and delicious
form OF food because they have no
means Of knowing the good from the
bad. In this respect II is a question
whether or not the Health Department
is justified IN holding back the names
of those to whom the disease outbreak
has been traced. The interests af-
fected are so extensive that it seems
hardly fair TO let the innocent suffer
with the guilty
These periodical outbreaks Of
typhoid. due 10 impure milk, are all
preventable. Inspection not only of
creameries and dairy product factories
is necessary, but OF the dairies them
selves. This latter the municipal
authorities and the State Livestock
Sanitary Board do TO a very limited
degree. Their forces for the work
are wholly inadequate. The duty Is
distinctly that OF the dairy and food
division. No hue and cry OF the
farmers-such as went up when the
Harrisburg milk standards and in
specton measures were adopted
should have any weight with the
Legislature.
Dairy inspection will be good for
the farmer, although he will protest
against it. II will make the careless
milk producer careful, raise the gen.
eral standard and increase the pop
ularity OF milk and milk products
but what is more important, it will
safeguard the public health.
The dairyman who lets typhoid
germs find their way into the milk he
sells is as great an offender as though
he let arsenic get into it, and he should
be dealt with accordingly.

Master of Proportions

An eager young teacher was review
ing the Sunday school lesson in a mis-
sion church in Brooklyn. The subjec,
was Moses and the bush that burned
without being consumed. The bows OF
ten or twelve had been greatly in
terested In the story and were now
eager TO expose their knowledge
Answers followed her question with
the r1pidity of a machine gun.
Now, Harry. it's your turn"
essum,' was the confident answer
Tell me what there was about this
burning bush that was different from
any bushes that have burned since"
The boy knew-you could tell from
the swapping of his eyes-but he
paused TO formulate his words. Why

burned up-but il didn't burn down.

THE WORST EVER
BY Wing DInger

The kind OF boob that gets my goat.
And makes me mighty sore.
Is he who drives his golf ball for
Two hundred yards or more.
Then follows with an iron shot,
That makes him throw a Mt,
Because just off the green. the ball
Lands in deep sand pit.
He tries his jlgger first, in vain,
And then he tries his cleek.
And then his trusty mashie does
He in his golf bag seek.
And with this club 1t takes thre,
strokes
To get him out his fix.
He sinks his ball on the next stroke
And says, Give me six"

the academy men from Dakota Yves

ternoon and emerged from the con-
test with the long end of a &c to
score.
Despite the one-sided score, the
game was hard fought and fairy
even. During the first half, there
was little choice in the play of the
two elevens, except the frequent
fumbling of the "preps" Both teams
succeeded in working the ball into
advantageous territory several times,
but the high school was able to shove
across for touchdown. while hold

half.
In the second half, the scoring
machine of both elevens worked some
better, and each secured a touchdown
in the first few minutes after the
period opend. Then the high school
line frightened while the playingo of
the "preps' became more cratic,
and Wheatley's band counted two
more times, making the total 26
points.

games, both of which will be played
in Mitchell. The first comes next

TALK ON JAPAN
FROM A PULPIT
REV. c. S. OsGOOD AND YAsUMA
ODA DISCUSS FbOWERY
KINGDOM AT CONGRE-
GATIONAL CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.

An unusually interesting Sunday
evening service was held at the Con-
gregational church. The topic was
"My Brother from Japan. Rev. G.
s. Osgood spoke of the conditions in
California in regard to the Japanese,
pointing out that out of total of
1000 japanese in the United States
$4,000 were on the Pacific coast and
a least $4,000 if that number in the
state California.
He declared that, while he believed
CALIFORNIA; treatment of the Japan
ese had been mistaken and wrong,
the sort of prejudice that prompts it
is general among the people of the
United States and, given the same
conditions might happen anywhere.
He said that the japanese owned only
a sma.. amount of land in California,
not more than 10000 acres, and that
the alien land law was unnecessary.
| Yasuma Oda also spoke, and gave
a most interesting account of his life,
describing how difficult it was for
him to secure entrance to the United
States. He exhibited the passport
which he finally secured. He said that
many little things promoted misun-
derstanding between the Japanese
and the Americans. For instance, the
Americans consider tho Japanese pc
culiar because they talk so little and
are so mpassive in facial expression,
and the Japanese on their part often
think the Americans very impolite.
He thought the missionaries were
doing more than anybody else to pro-
mote better understanding between
the two nations and said that the in
ternatlonal problem would never be
settled by politics or diplomacy but
only by the spread of Christian living
among the peoples of both countries.
