Evidences of patriotism were many
and frequent at the recent University
Club banquet held in the Harrisburg
Club. Coming as it did at the psyche
logical time when the relations be-
tween this country and Germany were
strained to the breaking point, the
situation was one of enthusiasm that
ended with the singing of "America"
by the hundred or more members and
guests who filled the banquet hall.
DIR. ]. Duncan Spaeth, q graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania and
a professor and crew coach at Prince

lege loyalty and national loyalty. Pro-
fessor Robert n. Corwin, head of the
athletic association at Yale Univer-
sity, discussed the college atmos-
phere in general and clean athletics in
particular, and Arthur L. Brown,
headmaster of the Harrisburg Acad-
emy, located the University Club
among the city's active organizations
and a coming power for good in the

"UNCLE JOE" VS.. GARDNER

Mr.. Cannon saw a wave of immi
INSTRUMENTATION legislation coming.
He therefore. as Speaker, put his
crown on his head and took his scep-
ter in his hand and walked down to
the edge of the beach and spoke TO
the wave, and it turned back and
made off into the open sea. Mr.. Cam
non, as Speaker, said that immigra
legislation would not
be, and 1t was not. Mr.. Gardner was
at once converted to a strong belief in
revision of the rules of the House
and became an insuIgent. Mr.. Cam
non noticed that Mr.. Gardner had be
come an insurgent. The next thing
that Mr.. Gardner noticed was that he
had ceased to be a chairman of any
committee. Mr.. Gardner took a terri
BILE revenge. He accumulated whole
arsenals of filing cabinets and clipping
books on immigration, extended his
personal discernment of Immigrants
to include Croats, and became this
country's chief political manufacturer
of the solid shots of fact and of ar
gument by which the recent victories
on behalf of immigration restriction
have been won in the House of Rep
resentatves and In the Senate.-From

"Nationalism has not been broken

and prophesied a big future for the

PINS OFTEN CAUSE

Practice of Putting Them in

Says DR.. Dixon

one PIN can carry enough germs

Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner
oil Health. in statement issued to-
day in which he warns against the
practice of putting pins into the
mouth. The commissioners state
ment is the result of careful observa-
tlon oil accident and disease histories
The commissioner says:
The pin is born with millions of
brothers Fnd sisters. who leave home
10 travel all parts of the world. On
their Journey they come in contact
with us human begins and it might be
interesting to take up what sometimes
happens when they do so.

haps be making its first intimate ac-
quaintance with the germ that pro-
duces sore throat. The shirt gets to
the customer who starts to make it
ready for use. For the second time
the poor pin finds the human mouth
again, Its abiding place. Possibly this
tlme 1t gets into an liberated mouth

The persons who handle these

making such use of them.
Many mother who uses pins in

presence of the germs that have been
referred to on the pin is real danger

knows he can plant these pins taken
from everyday use and plant them in
foodstuffs that will make them grow
and multiply in great numbers-colo-
nies can be seen by the naked eye and
they can be injected into other living
beings and produce disease.
THE habit of putting pins into the
mouth would not continue for q mo-

The moral of this little story is
