GIRL WITH DYNAMITE
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED

Chicago, Jan. 21.--The mystery
surrounding the identity OF the l6-
year-old girl who was arrested FRI
day on her arrival from Youngstown.
Ohio. carrying satchel in which were
SO sticks Of dynamite, was solved
when she broke down and told fed
eral authorities her name is Josie
Lande and that she is from Youngs-
town.
An intimation was given that
search is being made in connection
with the case for a secret code used
by German propagandists.
The girl told Of her arrival in this
country. declaring that she was born
In San Luca. town in northern
Italy. She came to America with
her father four years ago, she said.
The dynamite. she declared, was
given her by friend in Youngstown
to be delivered to someone in Chi
cago. She refused to tell the name
of the man who gave her the explo-
sive, nor to whom it was to be de-
livered A slip OF paper bearing a
Chicago street address which she
tried to swallow when arrested, so
far has proved worthless, for the ad-
dress is a vacant lot.
The explosive was discovered by
a negro porter on the train from
Youngstown. His suspicious we're
aroused when she refused to let any
one touch the satchel.
The passengers were placed In an
other car on the pretext that the
heating apparatus temporarily was
out Of order. The satchel then was
examined and police notified OF Its
contents.

A RINGING CALL TO
WOMEN OF AMERICA

Washington. Jan. 2t.--"Wake up
women, it's war!"
This is the rally call sent out to-
day to the women OF America by
Florence King, woman lawyer OF
Chicago, and president Of the Wom-
ans Association OF Commerce Of the
United States Of America. Women,
she says, might better be driving
trucks than pleasure cars. In state
ment today she said:
1--WE women must wake up. We
must not wait for broken men to be
brought home to us from France be-
fore we come to realize and shoulder
our part in this war business.
Women will work II you'll tell
them what to do. It's not so much
what they can do. They must do
what the men have been doing. Lots
of women are knitting. Very we'll.
but many OF them have got to drop
that to attend the wounded. grow
food, enter business and keep the
factory wheels moving. | have little
patience with ablebodied women
who are content just to knit. Leave
that to the women with children they
cannot leave, and to semi-invalids."

GERMAN YACHT TAKEN
IN NEW YORK HARBOR

New York. Jan. 2i.---The steel
pleasure yacht Joyeuse, said to be
owned by Emil II. Kleuge. an un-
naturalized German Of Englewood,
N. j.. was seized here today by
United States Marshal Mccarthy.
Federal authorities said the yacht.
equipped with wireless, with Kleuge
on board and manned by Swedish
crew. had been cruising recently
along the Atlantic coast.
The yacht is licensed in the name
OF Arthur II. Marks. of Akron. Ohio,
and It is claimed by the government
officials that Kleuge bought II from
Marks In November. 1916. but no
public record has been made of the
transfer. The boat was licensed In
June OF last year in Marks name.
It was pointed out by the officials
that under the presidents proclama-
tion enemy aliens are not allowed TO
operate boats of any kind in Amer
lean waters. which would have made
II impossible for Kleuge to obtain a
license In his own name.
When seized the Joyeuse was at
anchor in the Hudson river and CO.
incident with the seizure libel
against the craft was filed in the
name OF the United States.
The Joyeuse was brought from
Florida waters by Kleuge some
months ago. 1t was said.
Kleuge. who is president OF the
Kleuge Weaving company here, is a
reputed millionaire.

MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS
Too Much Money Spent for construo

In many county In the South the
condition of the roads Is the same as
those which the editor of the Clinton
Democrat describes as existing in his
county. He says:
1--WE can't survive the impression
that he have wasted lot of money ;
that we have built lot of roads that
have gone back to their former condi-
ton, from neglect; that we. have bur-
dened our posterity with n debt that

with the bonds that will be mighty
hard to pay, and we will have to an

struction and are not taking proper
thought for the maintenance of the

TO MAINTAIN GRAVEL ROADS
Never Hard and Smooth Enough to
Prevent Immediate Ruttlna by
Wheels Of Wagons.

Gravel roads are never hard and
smooth enough when opened to travel
to prevent almost immediate ruttlng by
the wheels Of heavily loaded wagons.
In fact, gravel which contains enough
clay to pack Immediately under the
roller or In few days under travel
will always prove to give a muddy
road when the frost Is going out In the
spring and during prolonged wet spells
at other seasons of the year. If such
gravels are found on a road they can
be greatly improved by covering the
surface with thin layer of sandy
gravel, applied when the road Is soft
and allowed to mix under travel, the
road being kept smooth by the frequent
use of the road drag.
On any gravel road, dragging with
suitable road drag should begin after
the first good rain following the COM
pletlon of the road and be continued
after each subsequent rain until the

Time Is Not Far Off
For Teams to Go South

One month more and .all the major
league clubs will be at their training
camps in the South starting to get
into shape for the summer baseball
campaign. They have ceased worry
ing about lack of railroad transpor-
tation and curtailment of expenses,
because the spirit of optimism has
triumphed among the club owners,
and after the baseball meetings here
last week the baseball people are pos
tive that the major league seasons
will go through according to schedule.
The various training camps OF the
National and American League clubs
will be located as follows:
National League Giants at Mar
burg, Fla; Boston at Miami, Fla;
Chicago at Pasadena. Cal; st. Louis
at San Antonio, Ten: Pittsburgh at
Jacksonville, Fla. Cincinnati at Mont
gomery, Ala, and Brooklyn at Hot
Springs. Ark.
American League - Yankees at
Macon, Ga: Chicago at Mineral Wells.
Tex; Detroit at Waxahachie. Tex.
Boston at Hot Springs, Ark; st.
Louis at Shreveport La; Washing
ton at Augusta, Ga; Philadelphia at
Jacksonville, Fla. and Cleveland at
New Orleans, La.
The spring schedules of many of the
major league clubs include cities near
the many training camps in the South,
and the soldiers will have chance to
see nearly all of the clubs play before
they come North for the opening of
the championship season.

Jack Deal Ready to Quit;
Blue Ridge Star Last Year

The Lancaster Journal has the
following to say about Jack Deal a
former Harrisburg player:
According to reports, Jack Deal
is seriously thinking of giving up
baseball and devoting all his time
to his business interests in this city.
If Jack really quits the game, one Of
the best-known ball players in this
neck of the wood will have passed
into obscurity. Jack made a tre-
mendous hit while a member of the
Lancaster team of the Tri-State
League quite a few seasons back.
He also captained the nine and
played on the only Lancaster team
that ever brought a Tri-State pen
nant to this city. This was the year
Marty Hogan piloted the team, and
they cleaned up with little trouble.
Snake played in the Blue Ridge
League last year until that organiza-
ton disbanded, and then he quit for
the remainder of the summer. Deal
has had offers from local semi-pro-
fessional teams during the past sew
eral seasons to play, but has turned
them all down in favor of the Ridge
way berth"

FLOWER GARDEN
PLAN TIME NOW
State College Man Gives Some
Interesting Thoughts For
People at This Time

This is the time of year when
all flower enthusiasts should be ex-
amining seed catalogs and making
out their orders for 1918. 1t is
rightly expected that a portion OF
large and elaborate annual beds
should be devoted to the growing
of vegetables but a small section,
at least, should be given over to the
culture of flowers.
Suggestions at this time will per-
haps help the novice to select a few
excellent garden varieties of annuals
for picking.
All seed should be purchased dur
ing February, so that the grower
can seed such varieties as Verbenas,
Snapdragon, Saliva, Petunias, Vinca
Minor, Lobelia, etc, on March first.
Most seed terminates readily and
most successfully at as temperature
of sixty degrees, says L. /. Wilde,
instructor in horticulture at the
Pennsylvania State College.
Sow seed in shallow flats in O
finely sifted soil composed of one
third loan, one-third leaf mold. and
one-third sand. Transplant the
seedlings in other flats in a little
richer soil two inches apart when
the first pair of true leaves appears.
April first should find Asters.
Marigolds, Cosmos, Larkspur, Can
dytuft, Zinnias, Centaurea Cyanus,
Pot Marigolds, Salpiglossis. Balsam,
PhloX Drummondi, Stocks, etc,
seeded in flats and Sweet Peas out of
doors.
Growers unable to start plants in
doors, can safely plant the follow
ing out of doors if the ground is
dry.
Scabious, Brachycome. Gypsophila
elegans, Sweet Sultan, Clarkia, Port
ulaca, Calendula, Chrysanthemum,
Love in the Midst, Eschscholtzia,
Cosmos, etc.
After all danger Of frost has pass
ed all annual seeds may be planted
out of doors, but Centaurea Cyanus,
Mignonette. Candytufts, Lupines,
Poppies, Sweet Alyssum, and Godetia
are best seeded in the open. Gener-
ally all of our seeCs should be in
the seedbed by the first of June.

CAPTAIN Huston Is
Showing Cage Form;
AVERAGES to ID a t e

Steadily advancing each week
until he now occupies fourth place
in the Central Pennsylvania Scholas-
tic basketball league, Captain Hus-
ton of the Tech basketball team
now bids fair to be a strong conten-
der for first honors before the close
of the season.
Huston has made wonderful pro-
gress during the last several weeks,
and reached the climax of his chieve-
ments during the last two games
at Reading and Allentown when he
tailed a total of so points At AL
lentown he made a high record of
80 tallies for the game, which is a
high mark for the league. With
the season half over, there is still
abundant opportunity Tor him to
reach the top.

Captain Nyquist, of Reading, and
Gingerich, of York, changed places
in the standing. These two lads
have been alternating at second and
third place, and at present only a
fraction of a point separates them,
Three Players Tie
A singular coincidence in the
averages is the fact that three
players-Huston, Tech; Coleman,
Steelton, and Wolfe, Lebanon, have
each scored 107 points. Huston has
the advantage in the fact that he
has played in one game less than
