Lutheran Church; 600
Voices in Choir

late DR.. William w. Gilchrist. who for
eighteen years was the leader of the

bers of DIR. Gilchrist's family will be
present, as we'll as all former members
of the choral society, who will be as
signed special seats. A special address
will be delivered by the pastor. the
Rev. S. w. Herman.
DIR. Gilchrist will long be remem-
bered in this community. not only be-
cause of his eminence as a composer
and conductor but also because of his
great interest in tho general musical
and civic upbuilding of the city. 1t is
being more and more recognized that
the cultural life of n community through
the influence of music and art Is an
essential element In the general ad-
vancement of city. Dr. Gilchrist was
much interested in Greater Harris
burg and often expressed amazement
at the rapid growth along all civic
lines. 1t is Il source of great regret to
music-lovers that the choral society
disbanded for the present season owing
to the large number of other musical
attractions, Next season. however, the
society will probably reorgani2e and
will be larger and more efficient than
aVar.

CHEEKY view of the world, is al
ways regarded with suspicion by
other women.
1t is this idea that a woman's
tears are accounted unto her for
righteousness that causes women
who formulate the laws of society
to make a cult of grief. When a
member of a family dies, custom

wholesome black garments that

their sorrow.

They must lock the piano, that
there may be no music to tighten
their sad hearts; they must go no.
where save to the cemetery, where
the sight of the new-made grave
tears the wounds open afresh; they
must see nobody except the old
sympathy quickens tn e agony of
memory and loss.
The result is inevitable. The
very touch and sight of the grue-
some black clothes, the darkened
and gloomy house, the absence of
everything that could distract one 8
attention from their sorrow, en-
genders a morbidness of grief in
women that you never see in any
sane man.
So far, however, from perceiving
that mans attitude on this subject
is the braver, the kinder and more
considerate to lis fellow creatures
and the more Christian, women
take credit to themselves for griev-
ing more for their dead, and are
bitter in their denunciation of men
for so soon forgetting.
1t is an unjust charge. Nobody
who has ever loved and lost ever
forgets, but men are wise enough
to know that there is no merit in
making themselves needlessly un-
happy or of brooding over hope
less sorrows, and so they deliber-
ately go to work to distract their
minds from their grief. while
women devote themselves to feed
ing upon their sorrow.

by the Successful Fruition of the De-

March 13, 1915, L wired each of the
following members of the Legislature
at albany: Senators Wilson, Towner,
fernan; Assemblymen Gillette, Ma
gee, Arnts, Ferry, Wilson, Seeleye,
knight, Wiltsie, Lord, Comstock, Tai
lett and DeX, the subjoined message:
while considering the fate of the
bovine tuberculosis bill now resting
in your hands, please consider also
the fact that nine more carcasses of
tuhercular hogs have arrived in New
York City for human food

to ship by Ontario and Western Rail-
road from Burnside, n. Y, to Wee
hawken. n. j., from which point his
rotten stuff was transferred through
interstate commerce by ferry to New
York.
Aware of the diseased condition of
his animals and, in the absence of any
State law that would restrain their
Shipment, the owner of these nine
tubero ular hogs carried them, March
IL, by wagon to Walden; then troll
leyed them to Newburgh and for
warded them by boat to the foot of
Franklin street. New York, where
they arrived 2 a. m, March IL, escap-
ing interstate traffic and keeping out
of tire hands of the federal officials.
"After their arrival in New York
they were carried to West Washing

eased Carcasses have been sold. At
II is hour the New York Health De-
partInent, operating under consider
able pressure, is on the lookout for
such stuff for which reason the nine
hogs, all of them in generaliZed
stage of tuberculosis, have been
seized and condemned.
THE owner of these nine diseased
hogs did not take a chance by pass
ing thei1 carcasses into interstate
commerce, although by so doing he
could lave saved himself considerable

hardship, including inconvenience by
wagon, trolley, and boat.
Diseased hogs and diseased cows
are consumed by the thousands
| throughout New York State because
the Legislature has never given the
people any protection against such
conditions.
New York State, like all other
States. is filed with backwoods
slaughter houses, where dead ami
mails are dressed for market and
where diseased animals are killed.
In considering the fate of the bill
now in your lands remember these
things. In your guidance you want
fats. These nine hogs are nine facts
out of 5000 facts in my possession.
THE reason give you these nine is
because they are the latest nine 1
know CT.
THE situation lies in your hands.
You can report the bill out of COM
mittee or kill it, but the facts will
continue to cry out against the rot
tenness that now Lands protected at
the expense of the health and wealth
of the people of New York.
The legislature at the last session
appropriated 100000 for a tercente-
nary parade and an exhibition that
accomplished no good for any living
creature. / saw the painted scenery
which that 100000 purchased.
1T is not money that stands in the
way of this bills enactment. 1t is
not a patriotic sentiment. Will you
pass the bill?"
March 16, 1915, Senator Wilson,
chairman of the committee on agri-
culture, in whose hands the bill re-
posed, reported favorably upon it.
March II, Senator Henry A. Sage
declared. This measure is most de-
sirable addition to our statute law"
March is, the bill was shelved for a
week.
March %, Senator Wilson declared:
There is no hope for favorable re-
port on the bill from my committee.
The majority of the members are
dead against it,
March "a, the bill was voted down
by the Assembly committee, Chair
rlan Gillette's voice being the only
one recorded in its favor.
The representatives of the people
had decided once more to pursue the
easiest way. What they would have
done had they been able to penetrate
the future 1 do not know.
Within six months they found them
selves confronted by n situation so
horrible and hellish that in it's con-
temptation they could see clearly the
monstrous and malevolent nature of
TIE traffic with which they refused
to interfere.
No group of lawmakers, however
conservatis or reactionary, can now
ignore that situation, so tremendous
is its force, and so complete the evi-
dence of depravity which it reveals.
1t is that situation into which merge
all the facts that have heretofore been
recorded here. We shall now look
upon it in all it's brutality for the
purpose of arousing, if possible, the
entire nation to action.

AEROPLANE FOR MILITIA

Washington, Jan. IL. - Aviation is
likely to be introduced in the National
Guard of Pennsylvania and other
States. An appropriation of $4,000, 900
is expected to be put into the army bill
for that purpose.
Representative 7. S. Crago, of
Pennsylvania, member of the Military
Affair Committee, is heartily in favor
of the appropriation, and believes the

had been established that an army
without aeroplanes is an army without
eyes.
Pennsylvania should have an aero
nautic corps" he said, "and If this
provision becomes a law l am sure we
will proceed to organize aero squad
rons and train our men,"

TOO MANY WOMEN
CODDLE GRIEFS
Ability to Grieve Long and In
consolably Is a Feminine
Trait
By DOROTHY DIX

In all the many mistaken theories
of life that women hold there is
none, perhaps, that has worked so
much harm to themselves and others
as the prevailing idea that there is
something peculiarly feminine and
angelic in cherishing and brooding
over a sorrow.
Men must work, and women
must weep, so runs the world
away" says the poem, and women
have faithfully believed that they
were never so fully doing their
full duty as when they were sit
ing up sobbing into their best
pocket handkerchiefs.
Woman Who Fights Her Way Back
To Happiness Is Called Heartless
Indeed, the ability to grieve long,
inconsolably. and senselessly, las
become an effusive feminine
characteristic, and women not only
cultivate 1t in themselves, but they
admire it in other women. They
think we'll of sister who doesn't
