FIXING STANDARDS

n NE can always find some COM
fort in the thought that some
good must come out of the
war. Terrible as it seems. yet we can
not fail but realize that If we can
learn to be less extravagant and save
our money, be more conserving of
resources of food, of life, we will
have something to count over when
the struggle ends. The effort has
been to call in science and expert
ence to get the best at the least cost
and 1t is surprising what is being
done in the way of standards.
1t has been figured out what a
soldier needs and men are now fgur-
ing out what people require in the
way of nourishment in various call
ings. Such standards. if carefully
followed, will have a good ultimate
effect. Only recently the War Com
mission in charge of livestock COM
pleted set of standards for feed
ing of horses and then of cattle. II
has been ascertained what was
needed. and fortunately the ingredi-
ents are not hard to get. And now

Corn Meal MuSh

[From the New York Herald
Many housekeepers have trouble
with Jumping when making this
breakfast dish. Try the following
way: Take half cup OF cornmeal
and n teaspoon of salt and pour in
to it half a cup of cold water Stir
well and put in a saucepan or in a
double boiler. Pour over this a cup
of boiling water; set over direct heat
and stir constantly until the meal
thickens. There is small danger of
Jumping. Here are various ways of
making cornmeal acceptable even as
a steady article of diet: Serve hot
with milk or cream, with syrup, with
butter and a sprinkle of maple SUI
gar. Let cool, cut in slices (pour in
a round can to cool and attractive
round slices can be cut) and fry and
you will have the fried mush such
as American pioneers served so often
on their tables. Ground cooked meat
may be added to the mush before it
is let to cool; half a cupful of graf
ed cheese is another addition that
will increase the food value. Half
a cupful of tomato sauce and a
chopped green pepper also make a
tasty combination with cornmeaI
mush. Still another way of prepar-
ing cold mush for the table is to
cut it into small cubes or diamonds
and fry these, after dipping into
flour and batter, in deep fat. Serve
with syrup or with honey or soft
maple sugar.

OUR WAR PREPARATIONS.

With the introduction of the War
Cabinet bill by Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon in the shadow of ex-
ecutive disapproval a crisis has come
IN our preparations for war. We
are still, and shall be for a long
time, preparing to take our place in
the line with our hard pressed al
lies. In fact. until the end of the
struggle the Government will be en-
gagged with the conduct of military
operations and with the training
and equipment of troops and the up
Keep OF the navy. 1t will be O gil
gantic undertaking, with which no
single man has the strength to cope.
mere are no precedentS in our his
tory to guide the Government; there
is no experience to draw upon.
1t is the part of wisdom, there
fore, to profit by the mistakes of
our allies, who after more than three
years of war have an organization
and a policy which should at least
serve as an example. Perhaps the
United states can improve upon it;
certainly 1t should not be disregard
ed, unless the machinery we are
using is properly adjusted to assure
cooperation with our allies with the
least possible delay. But IL that is
plainly not the case. then the parts
should be re-assem bled to give us
the war machine and the direction
OF 1t that are indispensable and i'm
perative.
Unfortunately, there is too much
evidence in the record that things
are not going well at Washington:
that, in fact. we are muddling along
with old forms, methods, and proce-
dure that are obsolete, when no time
is to be lost, not a day or an hour
in planning right and executing
swiftly. If we fail our allies in
1918. we may have got into the war
too late. The question has been on
the lips of great many anxious
men, and more and more of late.
as the Senate Military Affairs Com.
mittee has pursued it's inquiry into
the preparations made by the Gov
ernment TO arm and equip and
clothe and transport our troons
overseas. Woe betide any man who
assumes the responsibility of beTIt-
tling the mistakes that have been
made and of opposing reform and
reorganization from partisan mo
tives or for reasons personal to him

THE PEOPLES FORUM

ing the crisis that we are now pass
ing through is enough. We walk
into our picture houses in this city
and they are packed. The same peo-
pie going three and four times a
week. Find out as each persons
goes in how many has a Baby bond,
and l am afraid that the percentage
would have hard time in reaching
two figures. If we walk into our
candy stores, we see hundreds of
pounds of sugar, yet our tables have
to go without, and the price so high
that our poor people, cannot buy 1t.
If we all cut down the amount of
candy we eat, we cut down the con-
sumption.
Do not make a Red Cross can
vasser come after you for your dol
lar; do not make it necessary for
a campaign to be started to get Har-
risburgsrs to take their share of the
Baby Bonds. Go down and give 1t
like you walk into a movie theater,
or like you will go weekly and spend
fifty cents or more for a pound of
candy.
Do not think because we have an
immense country; do not think that
because the war is over three thou
sand miles away that we are safe
and will win. America must win
this war, and your cooperation will
help.

FAIR PLAY

AIR play to our industries and
n our people who have been
thrown out of work by the compul-
sorry shutdown of the city water
works demands that every possible
effort be made to procure from the
Federal Fuel Administration a ruling
permitting all industries so closed to
operate on as many Mondays as they
are idle now by reason of the water
famine.
Harrisburg manufacturers are
saving as much fuel every day they
are idle as they would on any one
Monday. They are conserving coal at
a time when it is most needed. To
excuse them from the hardships of
enforced idleness on other days
would be reasonable and proper
course, it would seem.

WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK
(New York Times)

(New York Times1
President Wilson can sharply re-
prove Senator Chamberlain for say
ing that the war service of the Adj
ministration has fallen down." but
he cannot reprove the people of the
United States, who are very much
of Senator Chamberlain's opinion.
The people are saying what Senator
Chamberlain said, not in his words,
but in words of like import. No
President can tell the people that
they have been guilty of IAN aston
ishing and absolutely unjustifable
distortion of the truth" Does the
President know what the people are
thinking and saying? 1t is always
a matter of doubt whether a Presi-
dent Of the United States can really
know what is in the minds of the
people; so few of those about him
are willing to tell him the whole
truth, If 1t be unpleasant, and so
rarely do his unofficial visitors put
aside commonplace courtesies and
venture to acquaint him with un-
favorable opinion. If Mr.. Wilson
knows, if he is permitted to know,
what the people are saying, he will
understand why his rebuke to Sena-
tor Chamberlain has been received
with faint public approval

OUR WAR DUTY

10 the Editor of the Telegraph:
l feel certain that the below facts
should be put before the Harris
burg public. The real seriousness
of, the situation does not yet seem
TO have taken grip on the people.
During the past year we have had
TWO large Liberty loans, and the
present day Baby bond. Harris
purg has far oVersubscribed its
amount in both the previous CAM
palgns, but has everyone done his
share, or has the burden fallen
more heavy on a percentage? The
BABY bonds are selling in Harris
burg, but THEY ARE NOT SELL
ING like moving picture tickets
are selling every night at our movie
theaters, and until the people of
this city and all over this country
can be brought face to face with
the seriousness of the present day
strife, Kaiser Bill has a mighty good
chance to win.
For twenty-five cents a week a.
person can buy a Baby bond and
there is not five per cent of the peo-
pie in Harrisburg who cannot af-
ford that. Our government needs
money, our soldiers, our Red Cross,
and what they don't need should be
saved to far larger extent than the
people of this town are saving. If
we give our money with perfect
freedom now and deny ourselves our
government and soldiers will win
this war and when peace comes we
can take up our pleasures with q
free heart and q clear conscience,
but if we do not, we must bow to
autocracy.
Why not start a campaign and
pledge ourselves in helping our gov
ernment? Movies once a week dur

Failure of Clifford Pinchot to
appear last night at the big farmers
meeting to discuss the labor problem
caused much comment. He sent IL
word, but just did not arrive. The
O'Neil men We're looking for some

will speak in Pittsburgh tonight.
Another interesting thing about
last nights meeting was that John

Grange, who assailed the national
administration last night in unmeas-
ured terms, has Democratic TEN

Farmer" Greasy, Democratic wheel

Notwithstanding Governo or
Brumbaugh's efforts yesterday it is
said that he is by no means certain
that the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture will confirm his friend e. b.
Dorsett, of Mansfield, as chief of
markets. Several members of the
commission are said to be opposed
to doing anything unless given a
larger measure of authority in the
department of agriculture, which
Secretary Patton will not stand
for.

ty banker, named as Game Commis-
sioner last night to succeed John S.

ment by a number of state admins

nearly everything else in the name

the Telegraph's proposal to put W

the Telegraph's proposal to put
trained water works engineer in
charge indicates. Indeed, 1t is a
very hopeful sign that DR.. Hassler
thus recognizes his need of help in
tae technical part of his work.
It is a commentary upon the
slovenly methods the Clark act per-
mits, that the water department, of
all branches of municipal activity,
most requiring experienced direc-
ton, has been permitted to slop
along almost any old way ever since
the dismissal of the very excellent
board of commissioners which
passed out when the small Council
law became operative.
Mayor Keister, whose practical
mind suggested yesterdays confer
encc of manufacturers, understands
that the need for an expert Is not
merely for the present emergency.
but for all time, may be counted
upon to support the water depart
ment superintendent, and doubtless
a trained man will be put In charge
by full vote of Council. Certainly,
we must never have a repetition of
the present inexcusable state OF
affairs and the way to be sure of
protection at all times against any
emergency the possibility of which
can be foreseen is to place the re-
sponsibility upon the shoulders of
a trained and experienced water
supply expert, not dependent upon
political preferment for the contin-
uance of his job. This is the solu-
ton of the whole troubA, out it is
toe bad that the whole city should
have to suffer to bring it about.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-24
CITY WATER SUPPLY

ATTY Council at last has awakened
I to the necessity of an expert to
conduct the city water Sdepart-
ment. Council has been slow in this
matter, but council itself is less to
blame for present deplorable condi-
tions than is the system of govern
ment under which Harrisburg
operates. Back of the trouble lie
the deficiencies and inadequacies
of the Clark act, which places a
handicap upon municipal efficiency
and encourages men to become can
didates for council merely for the
s2,4OO salary that goes with the
office.
UnquestionablJ, Harrisburg is suf-
fering because a former commits
sioner in charge of the water de-
partment chose unwisely to reduce
the water rates at a time when
Harrisburg rates already were
among the lowest in the country.
1Estead of using the surplus under
inc OLD rates to increase the
capacity of the plant to meet in
creased consumption the rate was
cut and the machinery of the de-
partment permitted to deteriorate.
AS this newspaper frequently has
pointed out, 1t is folly to try to
run the city water works without an
expert in charge. DR.. S. T. Hassler,
for example, is neither trained nor
by experience qualified for the work
assigned him. That is no reflection
on DR. Hassler. Nobody could cx-
pect him to step into Ihe water
department and learn all its needs
mud intricacies in a few weeks. That
shc realizes this, his endorsement cf

GET AWAKE

~ NE tragedy after another is
gradually arousing the Amer
lean people to the fact that we
are in the midst of a great war and
that directly and indirectly we are
Suffering from a too general indif-
ference to matters and things which
result from such a conflict.
We are too apt to jump to con-
olusions as to immediate causes,
rather than to the greater things
that control all these minor results.
One accident after another on
steam railroads, due to intense con-
Gestion and the lack of sufficient
equipment; n waterless city. due to
impaired equipment, growing out of
failure to promptly secure machin-
cry owing to the war demands; COM
mon use of street railway tracks by
all kinds of vehicular traffic, owing
to the unprecedented weather con-
oitions; lack of fuel as the result of
failure to SEQ ahead and the con-
gestion Of the railroad lines; short
age of wheat, owing to the demands
of our Allies in Europe. and general
ly upset conditions growing out of
the failure of the people to realize
the situation and their inability thus
far to adapt themselves to extra
ordinary conditions.
We must get awake. We must
understand that the individual
should conform his own activities to
the necessities of a situation never
before known in the history of the
world. Safety first has been the
slogan for several years, but even
now we do not understand the mean
ing of the appeal.
We must get awake. It is the duty
of every individual, whether on foot
or horseback, whether driving q troll
ley car or truck; whether on a
steam engine or patroling the track:
whether operating a machine or
wasting fuel and water; whether
supplied with food and fuel and wa
ter or suffering for want of them
II is the paramount duty and obli-
cation of every citizen to so order
his own conduct as to aid in the ad-
1ustment of present conditions.
1t will not do to blame this or
that individual. We are all more
or less responsible, and instead of
repining let us get awake and pull
together for the good of all. But
above all else, we must get AWAKE!

What AuStridnS Want

A dispatch on the Austrian situa-
tion to the New York Times quotes
a man just from Vienna as follows:
II have been in Austria four
months. During that time 1 never
spoke to a, single person who did not
ridicule the idea of Austria going on
fighting for Alsace-Lorraine, for the
German onneXation of Belgium, and
for various items of the German jim
goes program. Such things as colo
MES and freedom of the seas simply
don't enter the peoples minds. They
want an Austrian peace, regardless
of Germany or any other factor, and
they want it at practically any
price"
What will Germany do in case
you make your own peace? 1 often
asked the people. The invariable re-
ply was: Let Germany do what she
likes. Things cannot be any worse
than they are "

we are glad to note that a commit
tee of the same commission has un-
dertaken to safeguard our breakfast
eggs and our Sunday chicken. This
commission was composed of men
who have studied the great Penn
sylvania hen and one of our own
townsmen is a member. 1t has CAL
culated what is needed to feed a
good laying hen. And what is more
to the point it has not contented
itself with just adopting a standard,
as was done in New York and New
Jersey, but has asked the State Bu-
reau of Markets to see that the
millers make up the standard and
sell it.
Fixing standards is a good thing.
1t gives us the information. 1t dis
ciplines us, and it teaches us to
save.
