Activities of the steelton Red
Cross Society are not falling off on
account OF the hot weather. The re-
suits of the strenuous work on the
part of the women who gather at
the Red Cross headquarters in Har-
risburg street several times each
week are very encouraging.
The society recently made a ship
ment of five boxes of materials
which were sent direct from Brook
lyn to France. In the number were
included two boxes of bandages; one
box of bath robes and two boxes OF
paJamas. Another box of pajamas
is being completed for shipment
this week. The women turn out
about a dozen sets of pajamas a
day.
The materials are inspected and
numbered here and are not touched
until they reach France.
Mrs. R. NJ. Rutherford, treasurer
of the society, said to-day that a f.
nancial statement was being pre-
pared and would be issued probably

Mater Draft Lists Now
On Way to Registration
Boards From the Capital
BY AsSotiated Prcss

Washington, D. c.. July 25.-Mas-
ter lists of the army conscription
drawn were in the hands of a num-
Der of local exemption boards to-day
and were on their way to other
boards more distant from Washing
ton, where they were mailed yester-
day.
Each local board, on receipt of the
list, is required to summon for ex-
animation twice as many men as the
actual quota for the district. Thus
the work of selecting men to make
up the first half-million contingent
of the national army hereafter is in
the hands of civilians composing the
exemption boards.
Examination of the master list
showed only a few errors in the un-
official list compiled by the press
during the rush hours Of the draw
ing and telegraphed to newspapers
over the country.
Among variations discovered in the
unofficial lists previously announced
are the following:
No. 1885 was announced as 1895.
No. 10053 was announced as 1853.
No. 1179 was announced as ITO.
No. 10021 was announced as 1921.
No. 1143 was announced as 1043.
No. $40 was announced as 507.
No. 538 was announced as 5O3S.
No 1049S is stricken out. It was
drawn as 27S0, which was found to
he duplicated. No. 10000 is 5794, the
only missing number in the drawing.

Urge Employees to save Mate
rial; Do Not Stop Off
Unless Necessary

Further orders from Pennsy Of
ficials higher up have gone out to
all branches of the big system. in
cluding Harrisburg. Employees are
urged to save material wherever it
is possible. and to remain on duty
as long as health will permit. Days
off" are discouraged unless absolute
ly necessary. Men who have charge
of buying are also urged to buy at
low prices.
Equipment will be needed to take
care of the big rush of freight ex-
pected from now until the close of
the war. While orders have been
placed for new engines and cars,
Pennsy men are scouting for second
hand material that can be brought
into service. AS an evidence of econ
ony along this line, it was stated
that recently two engines were pur-
chased in the South that cost $4,000.
The regular price for new engines
Of the same type would be $4,000.
Cost of Cars
Cars that cost the Pennsy $1,000
to buy or build in 1915, have increas-
ed within a year at enormous rates
ana the price to-day is 1855, while
locomotives have advanced at unpre-
cedented price boosts. costing nearly
double what was paid last year.
NOT single car has been ordered
from equipment builders by the
Pennsy lines east of Pittsburgh this
year. The extremely high prices of
materials. the difficulty in getting
deliveries and the scarcity of labor
mas resulted in the company confn-
ing its 1918 orders for freight cars
to the Altoona car shops.

bought steel coal cars at Sl.466 each,
ana steel box cars for $500 each.

Biggest Locomotive Can
Pull Two-mile Train

The greatest steam locomotive i'll
the world has been put into service
by the Baldwin Locomotive works.
1t is so gigantic, says The Popular
Science Monthly, that its boiler had
to be made flexible at three different
joints so that the locomotive could
turn around a curve. 1t is over 100
feet long and weighs some 420 tons.
Twenty-four driving wheels, each
standing as high as an average size
man, afford it's traction.
The driving wheels are distributed
along the length of the locomotive In
sets of four pairs, the wheels of each
set being coupled together and driven
by two giant steam cylinders. Un-
der full steam the locomotive can ex-
ert an eighty-three ton full on the
cars behind (which means that 1t
can easily haul a freight train two
miles long and $4,000 tons In weight
over an ordinarily good roadbed at
an average rate of about fourteen
miles an hour, and possibly more.

1000 OLYKENS
MINERS STRIKE
Between Operators
and Employees as to Top
ping of Cars the Trouble

Lykens. Pa, July 25.-About 1000
men went out on strike at the Short
Mountain colliery here this morning
on account of a dispute with the op-
orators on the question of the top
ping" of cars. This matter has been
pending for more than a year, and
during that time the Cancellation
Board, composed of three members
appointed by the operators and three
named by the United Mine Workers
of America, has been trying in vain
to reach a conclusion. A vote al
ways resulted in tie.
About two weeks ago Umpire
Charles P. Neill, Washington, D. c.,
handed down a decision in which
he said the cars should be topped to
height of twelve inches. But now
the operators claim that the height
should be twelve inches at the break
er. The men claim that the mea-
surement of twelve inches should be
at the shute. The coal, naturally,
| will settle down considerably in be-
ing hauled several miles from the
shute to the breaker. This seems to
be what has caused trouble.
Previous to making his decision,
fW0 "aa<G HIM mira Nall n
ted that the cars had about fifteen
inches topping. The men claim they
had from fifteen to twenty inches
when the cars started on the way to
the breaker.
The strikers say they will not re-
sumo work until the whole question
is finally and satisfactorily settled.
