Taxidermists Are Sculptors
[From the washington Star.

1t is very doubtful if many of the
500, 900 or more people who visit the
animal exhibits of the National Mu-
scum annually realize the great
amount of work put on each animal
in the mounting by modern taxi
dermists. The larger animals are
mounted on so-called "manikins" of
re-enforced plaster, and are not, as Is
quite generally supposed, simply
stuffed with excelsior or sawdust. The
expert taxidermists employed by the
museum are more in the nature of
sculptors than anything else. They
are said to have been the pioneers in
this kind of work, and at this time
complete their work by constructing
lfe-sized hollow plaster figures which
are not only light and durable, but
also far more realistic than those pro-
duced with sawdust and excelsior.

Why Not a Street Car Survey

|
IWHE1 not " street car survey in
w Harrisburg?
The question naturally arises
as n result of the excellent results
achieved in the police department
through the survey made at the sug-
gestion of the Chamber of Commerce
and with the friendly cooperation of
Mayor Meals.
Nearly every day brings to the Tele-
graph offices letters of complaint re-
lating to delays of street car travel and
what the writer's are pleased to call
Inadequate service" Doubtless some
of these are the results of the jitney
controversy and the unfortunate labor
disturbance of last summer. but not
all of them. Where the fault lies the
Telegraph does not presume to say.
1t knows only that a very large num-
Der of Harrisburg people believe con-
ditions could be materially improved
The average citizen has no feeling
either for or against the trolley COM
pany as such. He wants prompt and
efficient service for his nickel and be-
yond that he is not greatly interested.
And he is entitled to that. Regular
schedules, reasonable frequency of
cars passing a given point, comfort
able seating arrangements and cour-
teous treatment at the hands of eff
cient, honest and polite employees are
the passengers rights. These are the
best advertisements any company can
have, but the opposite is also true;
delays, inefficiency, dishonesty, care.
lessness, over-crowding-all operate
against a trolley company in the opin-
ion of the people it purposes to serve.
1t is easy to fall into a rut. 1t is
not easy to get out. There is doubt
less room for improvement in the SER
vice of the Harrisburg Railways COM
pany. A friendly, cooperative survey
at least would give the people much
useful information and would not only
encourage improvements but would
place the blame for shortcomings, if
shortcomings there are.

POTATOES AT $3.50 A BUsHEL


reached $3.50 bushel
in Chicago the other day when
a new kind of boycott was
started which brought the price down
with a bump to S2.75. The retailers
took the situation into their own
hands and simply declined to buy at
any such ridiculous price, recommend
ing that their patrons use rice and
other foodstuffs of the kind as potato
substitutes. The result might be we'll
worth consideration in Harrisburg,
where prices of potatoes threaten to
go beyond all reason.
Chicago commission men insisted
that the high prices were due to ship
ments abroad, and doubtless that and
short crop in this country last year
do have an important bearing on the
situation, but the fact that prices fell
away seventy-five cents a bushel in
one day under pressure of the retail
ers' boycott would appear to be ground
for the suspicion that they had been
artifcially inflated.
Too often people blame the retail
dealer for the high prices of provi-
sions, but in most cases he is simply
caught in the same trap that holds the
consumer-he must buy at the figures
quoted or do without. High prices
tend to lower consumption and the
small dealer whose profits are not in
creased to any extent. and often act
ually lowered. by eXorbitant charges
for the goods he handles, would be as
happy as the consumer If the cost
of living were reduced to before-the-
war levels.

possible to take the officer from a
neutral man of warsman for investi-
cation, and, in fact, any move with the
color of. arrest or the foreign sailor
was hazardous for fear of causing a
dispute between the Dutch and Amer
lean governments.
Then a cunning subterfuge was
evolved. Under the pretext that the
petty officer had package addressed
to him at the postoffice which might
contain dutiable goods, he was in
duced to accompany a federal agent
to the postoffice Before leaving the
iceland superior officers of the man
insisted that he be accompanied by
one of their own interpreters. ThiI
caused more complications, as the in
terpreter was a Dutch commissioned
officer, who, necessity demanded,
should not learn of the federal
agents intention to question the sail
or about his remarks.
A happy medium was stumbled
upon TO distract the commissioned of
ficeris attention-the proffer of a
drink by an American informed oil
what was in trend. With the com
missioned officer disposed of, for this
time being. the sailor was taken to
an office of the federal inspectors,
where with some cunning questioning
and assurance that he would not be
detained, a full confession of Schir
MAINS plotting was divulged. A
friendly loyal Hollander was used as
interpreter
Later the Dutch petty officer was
given his liberty, with a clean con-
seriousness. 1t was his unsurpassed
grief, while under the influence of
many beers, which had caused him
to sob out that he might be the
cause of the death ow many innocent
people. At this time he had said:

then gave an intimation of what il
was.
