Dog Movie Star Dead

Hero, the $4,000 dog and the
greatest canine star in moviedom, is
dead. This was revealed when Harry
Marks, owner of the animal, sought
recourse through Harry Epstein, at
torney for the state labor commits
sion. The animal received injuries
which caused his death acting in
films, it is alleged.
With tears streaming down his
face and his voice broken with sobs,
Marks told how the dog had been
the sole support for him and his in
valid wife and how he had labored
for ten years to trIin the dog as
the brightest dog in American films.
Injured while acting in the film
ing of a comedy for Los Angeles
corporation, Hero died a few days
later, and now Marks wants COM
pensation for the loss of his faithful
worker.
According to Epstein, the film
company refused to make any settle
ment and Marks sought the aid of
the labor commission, believing it
could settle his difficulties. He was
referred to a private attorney.
Hero Will be remembered by thou
sands of Angelenos as the dog which
travelled the streets with squirrel
on his back, carrying the squirrels
cage in his mouth.-From the Los
Angeles EXPRESS.

SAVE THE BIRDS

F." GILBERT PEARSON, secre-
tary of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies,
writes the TELEGRAPH that "as a
result Of the high cost of meats peo-
pie have begun a perfect orgy of
killing songbirds for food" and asks
this newspaper to call the attention
of the authorities to these VIOLA
tions of law.
II there ever was a time in the
history of America when we needed
to protect our insectivorous birds it
is now. The greatly increased acre
age of land being put under culti-
walton calls for an equally increas-
ed number of birds to help keep
down harmful insects. Government
authorities are responsible for the
statement that one-tenth of all the
agricultural products in the United
States are destroyed annually by in
sects. This percentage now certain
ly will be on the increase, at a time
when the pendulum should be swing
ing in the other direction.
To be sure. the birds have been
in the cherry trees lately, but the
season is almost over and they will
again turn their attention to in
sects. Don't let anybody shoot birds
within the limits of your observa-
ton. There is a heavy fine attached
to violation of the song bird protec-
tive law.

GIVE RAILROADS FAIR DEAL

"HE passage of the bill authoriz-
ing priority of shipments by rail
as the President may direct
means the virtual control of railroad
operations by the administration and
the exercise of this power may have
a very great influence upon railroad
revenues. Yet nothing has yet been
done to counterbalance this.
The food control bill, which like
wise seeks to impose governmental
regulation upon the farmer in the
production and distribution of his
crops, provides, that a minimum
price may be fixed so that, no matter
what may happen, the farmer will
not have to sell his products at un-
remunerative figures. The railroads
should be treated equally well.
The government tells the railroads
how much they shall pay their en-
ployes, how many hours their men
shall work, what character of freight
shall be carried and all that; and this
is all right, but the Government
should also tell the railroads that the
work they do for the public shall be
paid for at remunerative prices.

ice of the food administration and

MI Hoover has appointed as re-
cruiting officer for the State of
Pennsylvania, Howard Heinz, Direc-
tor of the Food Supply Department

Mr.. Heinz has asked the co-opera-
ton of the seventy local Public
Safety Committees in various parts

keepers. Other agencies will also aid
in the distribution of 1900, 900

Coal Enough

Official figures for six months re-
assuring to coal users.
Not only food but fuel is a vital
need of this country and of our al
lies-coal to run the ships and rail-
roads, to feed the iron furnaces and
furnish steam FOR all the manufac-
turing plants, coal in greater guam
titles than have ever before been
mined in the United States or in any
part of the world-and this need
Is being met in truly Am - can fash
ion by the operators and owners of
the mines and by the diggers of coal.
With these words, Secretary Frank
lin K. Lane began his statement re-
sarding the coal situation as report
ed to him by the statisticians of his
department.
The production of coal in the
United States last year. he continued.
was the greatest in the history of
the country. A new record, however,
was set for the first six months of
this year, fully 270.000,000 tons of
hltuminous coal being produced
since January 1. thus exceeding the
output of the first six months of last
year by about 20,000,000 tons. Even
better news is that the limit has not
yet been reached, for as the rail-
roads are able to work out to better
advantage the problem of car sup
ply and give to the mines greater
facilities for transporting their prod
uct to market. the supply of coal
that reaches the consumer will be
In steadily increasing quantities. In
the early months of 1917, because of
the congestion of the railroads and
the difficulties of transportation, the
production of bituminous coal fell
behind the high mark set in January
and February year ago. AS a re-
suit of the patriotic and earnest en-
deavor of the railroad officials and
the coal operators and representa-
tives of mine workers who have vol
unteered their services to the Fed,
eral government in this emergency,
production has been speeded up
within the last few months and the
output of soft coal which in May ex-
ceeded all previous records, was sur
passed in June.

Vice About Army Camps

1t is cheering to read that the vice
which usually follows an army has
not established itself in touch with
the thousands of soldier boys en-
camped at Fort Riley.
From other camns throughout the
country the news is not so encourag-
ing. Eastern newspapers are print
ing stories of vice resorts near army
camps, and are demanding that the
saturnalia of vice which reigned
along the Mexican border last sum-
mer shall not be extended to any of
the army camps of this war.
1t is said on good authority that
during the first eighteen months of
the war one of the great powers had
more men incapacitated for service
from preventable diseases contracted
in the mobilization camps than by all
the lighting on the front, and the
Journal of the American Medical
Association printed from the Vienna
report the statement that "Since the
war began a total equivalent to
sixty divisions have been temporarily
withdrawn from fighting because of
those diseases"
In Massachusetts they are de-
manding that young Americans en-
listed in this war for dem ocracy shall
not be exposed to this secret foe:
the conditions about the camps must
be kept decent
Mothers of California, who have
given their sons to war, are demand
ing of the government: Bring my
boy back clean"
The Y. M. c. A. is getting ready
to combat this vice in and around
army camps. 1t has raised 8 million
dollars for that work and is asking
a million more.
A man said once that If all the
money spent on Y. NJ. c. A. build
ings resulted in saving just one boy
1t would be money we'll spent.
Aren't you a little extravagant
in that?" asked another man.

NEW CIVIL SERVICE BOARD

~ OUNCIL is to be commended
upon it's choice of civil serv-
ice board to conduct eXamina-
tions of applicants for the police
force, under the recently enacted law
taking the force out of politics.
Pierce Rettew, Technical High School
professor of civil government, is well
qualified for such an examining
board, and DIR. Thomas E. Bowman
stands high in the medical profess
sion, while Mercer B. Tate has been
identified with every progressive
movement in Harrisburg for so many
years back that he has become part
and parcel of the city's life, and
knows men and conditions locally as
few others do. The board may be
expected to conduct police eXamina-
tions fairly and honestly.
But the mere taking of the force
out of politics" is not going to rem
edy conditions much. The personnel
will not change with the operation of
the new law. On the other hand, it
is distinctly provided that policemen
now in the service are to remain ION
good behavior" which means that
some men who never should have
been appointed may have life jobs.
What Council should do as soon
as possible is to enlarge the force by
about twenty men, and give the
board opportunity to inject some
new blood into the department. So
long as the present inadequate force
is entrusted with the duty of pa
trolling a city that has been grow
ing rapidly while the number of men
has been at standstill, so long will
vice, theft and disorder prevail.
There are many evils that the force
as constituted could correct which
have not been corrected, but the
-onder is that conditions are not
worse.
Now that we have a civil service
board-and a good one-let's put it
to work,

One-Period Cold-Pack Method"
This bulletin is of special interest
and value to all housewives, canning
clubs, societies or persons interested
in conserving the food supply of the
nation. Tt may be had free by ad-
dressing the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The bulletin contains very explicit
directions for canning practically
all of the common garden vegetables,
including tomatoes, peppers, sweet
peppers, pumpkins, squash, sweet
corn, field corn, beans, peas and root
vegetables. also various combina-
tions of vegetables. 1t also includes
canning directions for soft fruits
and berries, hard fruits as apples,
pears, ounces. Directions for the
canning of camp rations, meats and
soups are given in detail.
Each step in the canning process
by the one-period cold-pack method
is carefully outlined from the pre-
paration of the equipment and the
raw materials to the storing of the
canned products. A special time
table showing how long fruits,
vegetables, soups and meats should
be scalded, blanched or sterilized, is
of particular value to the housewife.
Various types of homemade and
commercial canning outfits are de-
scribed.
Every woman reader of the
TELEGRAPH should avail herself
of this offer. Write soon, for the
supply is limited.

MADoo, 1920, BUBBLE

MO SOONER was it known that
IN the Liberty Loan had been
taken up than the Democratic
press came out with a prepared-in-
advance statement that to McAdoo
was due all the credit. This despite
the fact that ten days before the
books closed the loan was but sixty
five per cent. taken, and only after
superhuman efforts of the banks and
the newspapers was success finally
achieved. The presidential boom of
McAdoo for 1920 is on.

WILL ENLIST EVERY WOMAN IN
HOOVER'S FOOD-SA WING ARMY

TVERY woman in the State of |
n Pennsylvania will be asked to
join a food-saving army. Each
woman is to be an enlisted Soldier"
for Uncle Sam and the allies. The
commander who will direct this
army is Herbert C. Hoover, the man
who fed Belgium, and now Food
Administrator at Washington. D. C.
The enrolment will be conducted
by means of pledge cards similar to
the one reproduced above. Read it
carefully. Every housekeeper in
Pennsylvania will receive one and
will be expected to sign it before
July Is in testimony that full sup
port will be given to the food con-
servation plan.
Every woman in the household is
\ to sign this pledge whether a mem
Der of the family or an employe.
In addition to the million and a
half Pennsylvania soldiers" Mr..
Hoover will direct more than eight
cen million other women soldiers"
who are to be similarly recruited
from the other States and territories.
Each woman Soldier" will be as
| signed to the second line of defense
I
| Mr.. Hoover's position with respect
to those who enlist will be less that
of general than that of an adviser,
who suggests ways by which waste
may be avoided. Enrolment COM
! pels no one to any course of action
| beyond conviction of duty. Each
member of this army will do as
much of what Mr.. Hoover advises
as her circumstances warrant, and
her Judgment dictates. In other
words, all cooperation, even after
! enrolment, will be voluntary.
In connection with the activities
! of a food-saving army. President
| Wilson said:
ITO provide adequate food sup
plies for the coming year is of alb
solutely vital importance to the con-
duct of the war. Without a very
conscientious elimination of waste
and a very strict economy in our
food consumption we cannot hope to
