CURB pHE BRIDGE

SONo II16 DNlDdG
A MOTHER tragedy was occurred
\ n on the Mulberry street bridge,
and it will not be the last unless a
curb or railing of sufficient height
and strength is erected on each side
of the roadway to protect the side
walks from the encroachment of
vehicular traffic.
without thought of adversely
criticising the designers of the
viaduct, which is as handsome a
piece of architecture as there is in
the country, it must be admitted
that the bridge is dangerous as 1t
stands. AS occurred last night, there
is absolutely no protection for the
pedestrian when a truck or automo-
bile becomes unmanageable and
runs over the curb.
If a low wall or strong iron rail-
ing were erected between the side
walk and the street all future trouble
of this sort would be avoided and
more than one life saved. When
the bridge was built the automobile
had not come into such general use
as at present and danger from that
source was inconsiderable. But
now the peril is real and grow
ing and Council should take up at
once the matter of proper protec-
ton. The lives of thousands of
Harrisburgers are endangered there
every day. To-day, tomorrow, or any
other day another such accident may
occur as that which resulted in the
death of a young woman last even
ing. The condition is such that It,
demands immediate remedy. The
wonder and pity is that we have
permitted it to exist so long.
But this is not the only danger
from automobiles that exists in Har-
risburg. Chief wetzel has formu-
lated a set of very useful hints for
automobilists and the Motor Club
of Harrisburg has had hand in
traffic regulation, but there are
scores of motorists in the city who
pay absolutely no attention to any
thing but their own desire for un-
restrained speed. Unless an example
is made of these, distressing accidents
will result. Some of the streets are
now so dangerous that old people
cross them with difficulty and even
men and women, strong, active and
ordinarily we'll able to take care of
themselves, are fearful every time
they use them.

FROM "oDE TO AUTUMN"

Where are the songs of spring? Ay
where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy
music too
While barred clouds bloom the soft
dying day,
And touch the stubble plains with
rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small
gnats mourn
Among the river swallows, borne
aloft 4-
Or sinking, as the light wind lives or
dies;
And full grown lambs loud bleat
from hilly bourn;
Hedge crickets sing; and now with
treble soft
The red breast whistles from a gard
en- croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in
the skies.

The Rev. Samuel +. Smith, author or
America" was once at the house Of
a friend on the afternoon before Me-
mortal day. About thirty children and
young ladies were assembled there.
The young people were gathering many
cut flowers into bouquets, and while
they worked they sang from time to
time his song. my Country, 'Tis Of
Thee"
This led DR.. Smith to write the fol-
lowing beautiful lines:
G. WEET in the innocence Of

these boys became officers before
they were twenty, some of them even
reaching the rank Of captain. The
methods of war have SO changed that
in future armies there must be a far
greater portion OF mature men. There
must be large number who can
handle the intricate, complex and

of destruction. =. a.. #5,c S..s s.l

DROP BOMBS ON COAST

LONDON, July 23.-Another day light raid from the air over the east coast of England was attempt ed late this morning by German fleet of twenty aeroplanes.
 The fleet came out suddenly from over the English Channel and sweeping towards London, dropped several bombs over Felixtown and Harwich. The fleet was sighted and the warning given here.
 The entire British air patrol as- cended and before the German fleet reached London the air attack be- gan and the enemy was repulsed. The defending squadrons arose ov- CT the Germans and underneath and . terrific bombardment took place, but the enemy beat nasty retreat and succeeded in getting away.
 A report received at noon today says that the German fleet was met returning by the British Fly ing Patrol off the Belgian Coast and one German plane was brought down.
 At Felixtown and Harwich elev- en were killed and 25 were in- jured. The property damage is said to be insignificant.
 From the time the German fleet started across the channel and un- til it escaped two hours were con- sumed in the flight and battles.
