first contingent, and now that an ad-
verse ruling has been received the
matter of getting the required num-
Der of men ready to leave on Sat-
urday has turned out to be a hard
task.
Certifying Men
The district appeal board at the
Capitol has been acting with great
rapidity on the claims thatshav been
submitted to them. This board is
the only hope of some of the smaller
boards. If this board certifies back
enough names by the middle of next
week, the local boards will be in good
shape to meet the demand Saturday.
AS the matter now stands, it is up to
the district board. Nearly a hun
dred names were certified back to
the Steelton exemption board this
week. OF this number only four were
found to be available as the remain
der were all colored and could not
be sent with the second contingent,
AS this board will have to send
twelve men with the second quota,
the district board will have to GER
tify back to the board more names
of white men. The Paxtang board
is one of the boards that sent more
than the required number with the
first contingent. This board sent 100
men where only 80 was required AS
ten Is the number that must go with
the second quota from this district,
1T was thought that the board would
not have to send any. However, this
board received a list of names last
evening that were certified back by
the district board and as a result are
in a position to meet the demand.
The exemption board of district No. 8
at Elizabethville Is the only board In
Dauphin county which at present
feels sure of sending away the re-
quired number of men. AS far as
could be learned. no ruling has been
made regarding the disposition of the
colored men. They have been sent
notices to hold themselves in readi-
ness, but just when they will be sent
and where, is not known at present.
The schedule of the departure of
the men from Dauphin and nearby
counties, place of entrainment and
the quotas required Is as follows;
Adams county, Gettysburg, 12 men:

Acting On Appeals
The district board was In session
to-day at the Capitol. Every effort
Is being made by the board to cer-
tify enough men to warrant the full
quota of all the districts for next
Saturday Yesterday the board acted
en- large number of agricultural
and Industrial claims and rejected
most of them. To-day the board
started acting upon appeals. These
appeals will be taken in rotation and
according to order numbers. Those
who appeal first will have their
claims acted on first. This Is done
in order to be fair to some of the
men who have passed physical ex-
aminations and asked no claims.
Many of the men who made appeals
have done so in order to delay their
going away to camp.
| The Paxtang board to-day called
fifty men for examination. OF this
number nineteen were discharged as
unfit, eighteen passed and flied claims
and six passed and did not file
claims. Six did not show up. The
six men that did not show up are
as follows: Jovo Marin, Bressler;
Franjo Sucec, Bressler; Berardo Zin-
cani, Derry Church.; Joseph Stro-
mayer. Steelton; Charles r. Harris,
Oberlin; Curtis l.. Miller. Ruther-

alredy enlisted. The Paxtang board
will finish it's examinations Monday
and will not call any more until
reports are made from the district

The Steelton board is endeavoring
to fnd sufficient men to send away
next Saturday. The board has been
sending out the pink and green cards
to the available white men and these
men will report Tuesday morning at
| 9 o'clock. The Steelton police have

More and more people are using ice
every day in the year.
They found it economical to do so when
food products were low in price.
1t is now doubly to their advantage since
ice prevents waste and preserves the food
until every bit is consumed.
Food should not be placed out of doors.
Germs, dust and dirt are always flying about
and are apt to settle on the food.
The cellar is hiding place for millions of
germs but no place for your edibles. Besides
the running down and UP stairs is what
wears out women.
There is only one way to keep milk, meats,
fruits and vegetables properly, that is at a
temperature of 40 degrees in a well-iced

Ward Forms New 100000 Concern
Favor Site on West Side.

Olympia probably will have an
other shipyard, large enough to build
four big wooden vessels at one time,
operated by the Ward-Burkeimer
company, a Seattle firm capitalized at
100000 which was organized this
week with Eugene r. Ward, manager
of the Olympia Shipbuilding company,
as one of the incorporators.
A site near the mills on the West
side is under consideration by the
company and. it was said, would
prove acceptable if West Bay avenue
were put in satisfactory condition for
travel. The company is considering
sites offered by three other Sound
cities, but is inclined toward the local
proposition.
Dean Burkheimer incorporated the
firm with Mr.. Ward, the trustees
being John Burkheimer. D. Weiss and
w. w. West. The head office is to
be in Seattle. The company will
handle both government and private
contracts, and the vessels are to be of
the type now building at the Olympia
Shipbuilding company. Mr.. Ward is
now en- route East to attend to this
feature of the business.
