Frank A. Norton OF % Highland
street, Bath who has been employed
for two years during his spare time on
the model of a flying machine, is COM
pleting a three-foot model which he in
vites anybody interested in aerial ma
chimes to look over, reports the Times.
Mr.. Norton has made an exhaustive
study Of all makes of flying machines
and his invention is one that is the re-
suit Of repeated tests and original
ideas. It is worked by shafts and fans
and will lift itself directly from the
ground without a run. and will have
an unlimited speed. Mr.. Norton is
confident that it will be able to turn
around in its own length. Quite
number who have seen the model
are interested in seeing the machine
given test and it is hoped that SUI
ficient sum will be raised to construct
a machine at least 100 feet in length for
a thorough trial. 1t will be equipped
with six powerful gasoline engines and
will be capable Of carrying a large car

PLAN FOR BIG
RALLIES TO GET
ARMY RECRUITS
ParadeS Will Close the Rapid
Fire Campaign Next
Month

Harrisburg men who come under
the next draft now have until De-
cember 10 to choose their branch, of
service and escape the ruling of the
draft boards. Lieutenant Lesher, in
charge of the United States Army re-
cruiting station, who kept the city
out of the first draft, said this morn
ing the recruiting office will make a
great effort to secure the necessary
recruits to fill the next quota for the
national army. Five hundred men
are needed to accomplish this.
Sergeant John Blake, publicity
agent of the recruiting station, ac-
cording to his statement this morn
ing has planned a number of activi-
ties to secure the necessary recruits.
The first week of December there
will be a big recruiting parade, he
said. A feature of the parade will
be- n company of men who want
to be shown. Along the line of
march any men about to enlist, or
desirous of enlisting, if the service
looks attractive, will be asked to fall
into line, and without binding them
selves to enlist, signify their inten-
ton of enlisting if the recruiting
officers can make the army life look
attractive enough. -
Another enlisting plan will be a
sectional canvass of the city in an
effort to secure drafted eligibles for
enlistment who might be holding
back in the expectation of escaping
the draft through the enlistment OF
other men. There will be either two
or three citizens meetings, it was
announced.

WHEATLESS MEAL
NECESSARY EACH
DAY, SAYS HEINZ
Must Reduce Consumption of
White Flour to Help Win
World War

Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-Following
every household in the state of
Pennsylvania should observe seven
wheatless meals each week, Howard
Heinz. federal food administrator
for the state, said to-day:
Some good women have raised
seven wheatless meals during the
week is feasible or necessary. am
glad that this has come up, because
it is important. 1 will reply that the
plan is practical and it is certainly
necessary. The time has come
when We must reduce our consump-
ton of white -four and must sub
nit to self-saCrifice and perhaps
suffering, just as our Allies in Eu-
rope and our boys at the front are
enduring privations.
War bread should be eaten as
often as possible and should be
served at other meals.
In order to save the wheat sit
uation in Europe it will be neces-
sary for us to save one-third of our
flour barrels at once. France
raised only tnlrty-nNe per cent. OF
her normal wheat crop this year
and the nation is now on rations.
She will require 100000 tons of
cereals to last until the next crop.
Italy is far behind normal and has
asked for 200, 200 tons of food prod
ucts of all kinds each month. Eng
land has reduced her normal wheat
consumption by one-half. Ger
many, on the other hand, is in fair
shape. She has had a fine potato
crop and she will at least have as
much bread as during the past
near. She is even getting some of
hese from neutral countries. which.
ecause of lack of feedstuffs, killed
animals and exported them to
|rmany.
FIT is true that India has her
brmal crop of wheat and Aus
alia and Argentine have a surplus.
ht the lack of shipping makes it
npossible to get the wheat to our
lilies. The burden falls upon
merica. We must help to save
me wheat until there is enough
pshipping to properly distribute the
wheat crop"

The Stanfield battle plan is now

very enthusiastic over the appoint

revision who are always dreaming OF
coming back. 1t was not until GER

pointed any one of the almost for
gotten "old guard" leaders he would
face the united and active opposition
of the progressive party leaders of
the state. that. he finally announced
Judge McNary's appointment.
The next elimination in the battle
for the senatorship was the an
nouncement of Judge Henry r. Nc
CHM that he would not enter the race
as he had been expected, because of
the impression made upon him by
Senator McNary's course in congress
If Senator Fulton steps aside with

made by the forces back of the stan

dates out of the field who might
trench upon his votes. 1t would not
