MEN WORTH WHILE

"HE first commencement of the
Harrisburg branch of the whar-
ton School of the University OF
Pennsylvania was held last night.
Fifty-three young men were awarded
diplomas.
The graduates are men worth
while. For three years they have at
tended school four evenings a week,
studied nightly and worked during
the day, most of them winning pro-
motions in the interval. 1t requires
stamina of the kind that wins big
things in the world to make such
sacrifices. Nobody but those who
have tried will understand the Cruel
ling labor to which these students
submitted themselves. Their reward
is as certain as though they had
already laid hands on it. Advance
ment simply cannot be denied men
of their caliber. And that they are
as patriotic as they are industrious
and enterprising is shown by the fact
that eleven members of the gradual
ing class, four members of the Ju-
niors, and one first-year man have
volunteered for various branches OF
the military service for the period
of the war.

Heinz on Food Supply

The necessity of persona. and i'm
mediate attention OF each indlVldual
being given to the promotion OF food
conservation was emphasized in a
warning issued by Director Heinz OF
the Food Supply Department of the
Committee of Public Safety. Chair
men OF the local committees were
urged 20 make plain the individual
respons. biI.ty which the food situa-
ton has created. Mr.. Heinz in his
warning said:
''Wise food economy does not mean
parsimony. It does not mean, the
cutting off of food luxuries by those
who can afford them. On the con-
trary, the liberal consumption of
food luxuries by those who can pay
their price and the corresponding
saving of palmer food staples, for
the use of the less affiuent at home
and for our allies abroad. is a most
intelligent kind OF economy. For II
is the great staple foods like wheat.
for example, for which the world
is starving to-day. Thus,
1--WE should each personally re-
duce our consumption of those food
commodities that are vital to the sit
uation-wheat. potatoes, bees, but
ter. sugar, meat.
1--WE should moderate the use of
or abstain entirely from immature
meat foods-veal, sucking pigs,
squab chickens, youn lamb. etc.
1--WE should substitute for a part
Of our cereal diet in place of wheat
bread; corn bread, rye bread, oat-
meal and rice.
1--WE may be nationally free in the
use of sea foods of all kinds.
I'VE should make the most lib
eral use possible of the perisha ble
foods-summer vegetables, fruits,
etc.
I'VE must learn to avoid the waste
that to-day makes the American
garbage can reproach to the Amer
lean family"

FALSE ECONOMY WILL BREED
DEPRESSION AND DISASTER
BY SENATOR PAUL o. HURTING, of Wisconsin

afford it to draw mildly upon this
supply and to try to satisfy their
needs as much as possible from sup
plies not coming within the category
OF necessities. The greater the
diversity in the use of foodstuffs.
wearing apparel and, in short, of
everything not within the term ne
cessities, the more obviously will the
demand and the drive upon the nee
essaries be relieved; and the more
plentiful, the cheaper and the more
easily available will be the supply
or necessaries for the age-earners
and the government, and the more
plentiful and the more easily avail
able, and, therefore, the cheaper will
be the supply of necessaries required
by the government for the exigen-
cies of the war.
Collateral Benefit
Then there is another collateral
benefcent result which follows from
such nonuse of necessaries and
that Is the necessary resulting pur-
chase and consumption of articles
not embraced within the term nec-
essaries. That is to say, not only
does the use of a diversity of food
stuffs and wearing apparel relieve
the fierce demand on necessaries,
but 1t keeps all business engaged in
other lines going, and business keeps
the factories, fields and mines go
ing. These, in turn, keep men going,
| and this brings wages and the ability
to purchase the necessaries required
| by them. 1t increases the available
supply of necessaries and reduces
the high cost OF living. In other
words, such economy means little, II
any, dislocation or interruption OF
the industrial or business machinery
of the country or impairment of our
domestic prosperity, The sinews OF
war must come in large part from
the tax on business profits and the
incomes which flow therefrom to in
dividuals. 1t would be a short.
sighted economy which would de-
stroy or seriously impair business
or industrial prosperity and thus dry
up the spring from which the reve.
nues flow.
AS I see it then, a wise. intelligent
and discriminating economy at thi:
time consists. first, in the elimination
of all waste, especially in the use oi
necessaries; second. in the very spar
ing and economic use of necessaries

Thus, by a practice of wise, in

there will be necessaries enough Il

FLAG DAY

TOMORROW will be Flag Day.
In a sense every day is fiag
day. but tomorrow has been sci
aside especially as an occasion upon
which to do honor to Old Glory. Har-
risburg's celebration will be simple,
dignifed and altogether in keeping
with the spirit of the times. Led by
Harrisburg Lodge of Elks the vari-
Gus organizations of the city will
march to Reservoir Park, where ex-
ercises will be held. 1t is worthy of
note that the program has been ar
ranged for the evening, so that the
men who participate may not be
taken from their work and the out
put of office, factory and mill de-
creased to that extent.
Never within the history of the
anniversary has Flag Day meant so
much. More than ever the Stars and
Stripes stand for the hope of man.
kind and the liberty of the world.
Old Glory is the flag of freedom and
the emblem of democracy. 1t is
more than a national banner; it is
the standard of freedom the world
around and the rallying center for
millions dedicated to the perpetual
ton of liberty and the overthrow
of autocracy.
Show your colors. Let everybody
know where you stand. Put out a
flag tomorrow, if it is no larger than
your hand.

WHALE STEAKS

IF the storied visitor from the Wild
and Woolly West who used to de-
mand "rattlesnake on toast" of
the startled waiter in a New York
restaurant were alive to-day the
waiter might come back with the
polite reply. None to-day, sir, but
we can give you nice piece of
troilcd whale steak"
Whale steaks. we are informed,
are to become a part of our war diet.
We are assured that the Japanese
have been living on whale meat re-
Gently to the exclusion of beef. but
then it must be remembered also
that the Japs prefer rice to pota-
toes, and IL whale is to beef as rice
is to potatoes, then we humbIy beg
that we be permitted to take flank
roast and brisket and let the tender,
succulent whale steak go to others
whose teeth are not so strong. Not
that we would discourage the use of
rice and whale. Far from it. But
most of us are "set in our ways" and
prefer broiled sirloin and potatoes
even to turkey and cranberries.
However, that is no reason why
whale steak should not become pop
ular. There was a time when even
potatoes were looked upon with sus-
picion and when tomatoes were gar
den ornaments, masquerading under
the high-sounding name OF Jerusa-
lem apples and regarded as rank
poison. So, also. there was a period
when people thought they had to
learn" to like bananas and when
grapefruit was regarded as utterly
impossible.
Indeed, rejecting further upon the
dietary pecuIiarities of the people
of the United States. one cannot doubt
for moment that in a land where
sauerkraut, snits and knep, dried
apple pie, pigs feet souse. liver sau-
sage and Limburger cheese are re-
garded as rare tidbits of epicurean
delight, whale steaks and pot roasts
eventually will find their place, es-
pecially II the Introductory price of
10 cents a pound is maintained.

LEGISLATORS AND LEGISLATION

HINAL adjournment of the Legls-
II lature June % seems assured.
Any one familiar with the usual
course of the sessions of the General
Assembly understands that the bulk
OF the work is done during the last
two or three weeks and the calendars
of the Senate and House are now In
such shape as make easily possible
hnishing the real work of the session
within the present month.
From the Republican standpoint
1t is hardly necessary to suggest that
the piffie of political dissension which
has engaged the attention of so
many of the members of both
branches during the last few months
should no longer be PERMITTED to in
terfere with the orderly procedure
OF the two bodies and the conclusion
of the serious business for which the
Legislature was convened.
Governor Brumbaugh has vetoed n
considerable number of measures
and many others have fallen by the
wayside in their passage through the
legislative mill. These are not re-
grettable incidents inasmuch as the
average Legislature is too prone to
increase the number of laws and to
disturb all classes of people with en-
actments that are unnecessary and
burdensome in their operation.
AS the present Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor have said on more
than one occasion, the best thing
That could happen the Common
wealth would be a general repeal of
hundreds of statutes which cumber
the records and embarrass a patient
people. Too many lawyers have run
riot In the Senate and House for
years with all sorts of panaceas and
worse. Their minds are obsessed
with desire to increase statutory
regulations for one purpose or an
other. A body of legislators compris.
ing experienced businessmen and
others who have given particular at
tention to the practical things of life
might be good thing for the State.
Too long the hamstringing of busi-
ness has engaged the attention of
the legislative body and the turn
OF the tide is about at hand.
In these war times we have learn
ed that the constant batting of cor
porations and manufacturers and
business generally has resulted in a
serious condition which is a real
menace to the public welfare. In
stead of the railroads, for instance,
being prepared for the enormous

From a Prison Cell

the prisoners at the Eastern Peni.

inspired B 1866 to send to the Cath
Ollie Standard and Times a poem OF
appreciation, of which these are the
closing lines:
o glad note! and gay motel
There's n smile behind the tears,
There's the boys heart still in the

Persisting through the years.
The dreams of our youth are with

The shining goal is Just over the hill,

Whate'er the swift years bring,

May you ne'er falter in the fight,
May you ne'er choose aught but the
right,
Keep your faces to the light.
And-sing for us again.
