Many Trees Are Being
Planted in River Park

Extensive planting in River Front
Park will probably be continued for
at least six weeks, Assistant Park
Commissioner V. Grant Forrer an
nounced to-day At present men are
placing the scores of young trees
which are to be planted along the
park to replace those recently de-
stroyed or damaged by storms.
Planting of the slopes of the river
south of Maclay street which were
riprapped during the summer will
also be done. 1t is probable that
plants which have been raised at
the city nursery will he used.
All of the park roadways are now
In shape for use. Mr.. Forrer stated.
Repairs to the Cameron park drive
way have been completed recently.
This road was badly damaged by

tenancy of the dominant ridge
east of Ypres is nearing IN end.
The British yesterday captured
further sections of the ridge in
the direction of Passchendaele
and British guns now dominate
that part still in German hands
as well as railway centers of
Staden, Roulers and Menin and

One more stroke, perhaps two,

Should the Germans retire to the

Chief of Police Favors
Semaphores to Ease
Up Traffic Congestion

When the proposal to install two
or more semaphores on the corners
of congested streets in this city is
presented to council in the near fu-
ture, the proposition will have the
approval of Chief of Police Wetzel.
The semaphore system has been
tried out with excellent results in
many of the large cities of the coun-
try. In a desire to improve the
traffic conditions in Harrisburg
Chief Wetzel believes that the in
stallation of semaphores would be an
investment that would pay big re-
turns.
The system is inexpensive, and 1t
is probable that council will give
the proposal favorable consideration.

AS a result of the important con-

the Board of Public Grounds and

George A. Shreiner, the development
OF the Capitol Park area will pro

be submitted for the consideration of
the Harrisburg authorities, but there
is no doubt that substantial agree

matters referred to.
These include the paving of Third

walks along the Capitol Park. An
other question is the future widen

authorities will put this up to the
city with the thought that through
the establishing of u new building

that thoroughfare will be gradually
brought to a width that will be satis-

The Omitted Colonies"

The phrase united colonies was
used Tor little while before the rev
olutionary war began and before the
phrase United States was adopted.
The second continental congress as
sembled at Philadelphia on May 10,

but the time was not ripe for action.
The colonies were united, but they
were not quite ready to call them
selves states. On June I, congress
passed u resolution that Thursday,
July 20, next, be observed throughout
the twelve united colonies as u day of
humiliation, fasting and prayer" The
resolution said twelve united colo

uttered various sounds, but PenT"d
and sam were incapable of doing any
thing vocally. All rushed from the
table.
Margaret continued to Shrek, and
it is not to be denied that there was
some cause for her agitation. When
she opened the closet door, her light
blue military cape, instead of hanging
on the hook where she had left it,
came cut into the room in manner
which she afterward described as "a
kind of horrible creep, but faster than
creep" Nothing was to be seen eX-
cept the creeping cape, she said, but,
of course, she could tell there was
some awful thing inside of it. 1t was
too large to be cat, and too small
to be boy; it was too large to be

crept rapidly out into the upper hall,
and then, as she recovered the use Of
her voice and began to scream, the
animated cape abandoned its creeping
for Il quicker gait-"a weird, heaving
flop" she defined it.
The thing then decided upon third
style Of lOcomotion, evidently, for
when Sam and PenrOd reached the
front hall, a few steps in advance of
Mr.. and Mrs. SchOfcld, it was rolling
grandly down the stairs.
Mr.. Schofield had only q hurried
glimpse of it as it reached the bottom,
close by the front door.
"Grab that thing" he shouted dash
ing forward. stop it. Hit it,"
1t was at this moment that Sam
Williams displayed the presence of
mind which was his most eminent
characteristic. Sans wonderful in
stinct for the right action almost never
failed him in a crisis, and it did not
fail him now. Leaping to the door,

Penrod jumped after it, and the next
second reappeared in the doorway
holding the cape. He shook out its
folds, breathing hard but acquiring
confidence. In fact, he was able to
look up in his fathers face and say,
with bright righteousness.

cat the slightest injury or to cause her
any pain. They Were above teasing
cats, and they merely detained this
one and made her feel Il little wet
ut considerable cost to themselves
from both the ink and the cat. How
ever, at the conclusion of their eff
forts, it was thought safer to drop
the cat out of the window before any
body came, and, after some haSty
work with blotterS, the desk was
moved to cover certain sections of the
rug, and the boys repaired to the bath
room for hot water and soap. They
knew they had done nothing wrong,
but they felt easier when the only
traces remaining upon them were the
less prominent ones upon their gar
mentS.
These precautions taken. 1t was
time for them to make their appear
ance at Periods house for dinner, for
it had been arranged, upon petition,
earlier in the day, that Sam should
be his friends guest for the evening
meal Clean to the elbows and with
light hearts, they set forth. They
marched, histling-though not pro-
duclng a distinctly musical effect, since
neither had any particular air in mind
and they found nothing wrong with
the world; they had not a care. Ar
rived at their adjacent destination,
they found Miss Margaret Schotield
just entering the front door.
Hurry, boys" she said. Mamma
came home long before l did, and I'm
sure dinner is waiting. Run on out
to the dining room and tell them I'll
be right down."
And, as they obeyed, she mounted
the stairs, humming a little tune and
christening the clasp of the long, light
blue military cape she wore. She went
to her own quiet room, lit the gas,
removed her hat, and placed 1t and
the cape upon the bed; after which

returned to the bed and took the cape
and the hat to her clothes closet. She
opened the door of this sanctuary,
and, in the dark, hung her cape upon
a hook and placed her hat upon the
shelf. Then she closed the door again,
having noted nothing unusual, though
she had an impression that the place
needed airing. She decended to the

AFTER TWO THOUSAND YEARS
Skeletons of Four of the Victims of
the Destruction Of Pompeii Found
in the Ruins.

After a lapse of close upon 1000
years since the destruction of Pompeii
the skeletons of four of the victims
have been discovered in the actual
positions in which they were over
taken by the catastrophe.
Two of the victims, apparently d
man and wife belonging to the upper
classes, had evidently been caught by
the shower of red-hOt stones in the
cloiSter garden of their villa, and while
Fastening to seek shelter in a corner
had been suddenly buried and asphyXi-
ated through the collapse of the roof
overladen with volcanic dust, says the
London Chronicle.
The husband was found in Il sitting
position with his head and back bent
forward and the legs wide apart. His
wife was standing erect Immediately
behind him. Her golden earrings We're
found on a level with her ears. and
there were two gold rings still on
the fingers.
A third skeleton was that of a
youth huddlsd with his face to hole
in the garden wall. The last of the
group, full-sized man, bent almost
double under the weight of the Suffo-
eating debris, had on a anger of the
right hand an iron ring inset with a
prettily engraved comedian.

Iris Bath Luxury of Japanese.

Each year on May the Japanese

IN water in which is immersed the

In a palsy, the miserable boy re-
sumed his seat. He and Sam eX-
changed q single dumb glance; then
the eyes of both swung fearfully to
Margaret. Her appearance was one
of sprightly content, and, from u GER
tain point of view, nothing could have
been more alarming. If she had
opened her closet door without discOv-
ering Verman, that must have been
because Verman was dead and Mar
garet had failed to notice the body.
(Such were the thoughts of PenrOd
and SAM But she might not have
opened the closet door. And whether
she had or not, Verman must still be
there alive or dead for if he had es-
capped he would have gone home, and
their ears would not be ringing with
the sinister and melancholy cry that
now came from the distance, cocoon,
Ner-ermaan !"
Verman, in his seclusion, did not
hear that appeal from his brother !;
there were too many walls between
them. But he was becoming impatient
for release, though, all in all, he had
not found the confinement intOlcrable
or even very irksome. His character
was philosophic his imagination calm !;
no bugabOOS came to trouble him.
