Mr.. Ellinger knew more people in
Harrisburg than almost any other
one man in the city service. He
knew also every nook and corner of
Harrisburg as few men do. and not
withstanding that he was called into
thousands of homes under trying
circumstances his treatment of
those with whom he came into con-
tact was always SO kindly and con-
siderate that he made hundreds of
friends where a less tactful man
would have made enemies. He was
a general favorite with all who knew
him and stood high in the regard
of those with whom he worked for
so many wears.

USELESS NOISE

BYD.G. 81 /, POLICE
Pullman Starts Offensive
on Motor Cut Outs and
Horn Calls.

Numerous complaints received by
the police as to the steady increase
In the amount of noise on the
streets and In public places has
caused Maj. Pullman to issue an
order to police captains directing
them to arrest persons who violate
the anti-noise ordinances.
Z "One OF the principal sources Of
noise has been the use OF muffIer
cut-outs on motor cars and motor
cycles" reads the order. THE prac-
tice Of blowing motor horns calling
persons. from houses to the street
shows O lack Of any consideration
for the rights of others and arrest
should be made in every case when
the offense Is committed.
Other unnecessary noises OF, all
kinds, particularly firecrackers and
other explosives, should be checked
wherever, possible. and arrests
made whenever violators of the
law are apprehended. Many per
sons who are nervous or in poo,
health suffer intensely from un-
necessary noise, and members of
the department should do every
thing possible to prevent the cause
thereof. This Is particularly i'm

EXPERTS SHOW Phone
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
Bureau of Standards Scientists Ad-

DIR. E. 3. Rosa, physicist, and G.
s. McCumber, electrical engineer, both
of the Bureau of Standards, explain
ed the automatic telephone system to
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
lions last night at the bureau. To
illustrate the automatic, they had two
telephone stations set up as though
they had been eight miles apart. In
opposite corners Of the rooms were
two phones which were pretended to
be i've miles apart.
The automatic telephone under dis
eussion. and which may be installed
i'm Washington, is properly called the
semi-automatic. Mr.. ,McCumber ex-
planned the automatic, the semi-auto-
matte and the manual, or the ono

The present apparatus in use In the

service, according to Mr.. McCumber.
by a small appliance on the subscrib-
er's stations and a change of switch
boards. The same wires will serve.
"A thousand calls per day could be
made by an experienced operator. as
compared to 80 under the manual
system now in use," he said.
"A raw recruit could make 600 calls
an hour with the automatic phone.
The girls with the new system would
need practically no training such as
they now must undergo"
No action was taken by. the fedora
ton, but Charles s. Shreve, president
Of the federation. said they would
study the matter thoroughly this
summer, with Q view to recommend
ing its installation by the govern

The swans are still there.
For three years they have lived In a
shrapnel-swept desolation. Hundreds
Of bets have been laid by soldiers on
how long they would continue to nest
in the Ypres moat. Early in the war
these swans were famous. Then they
became merely objects of mild curios-
ity. Now they are accepted by the
British army as part Of everyday life.
The ramparts above their home, CEN
turtles old, are torn and SCARED and
pitted by Hun shells. but they remain
intact. And the one little family OF
swans lives on, unscared by shrapnel,
unfrightened by air bombs-living re-
minders Of the fact that 'Belgium's
swans. like Belgium's people, can new
er be robbed of their spirit by Ger
man frightfulness. =

Young swans, hatched on a day when
the German bombardment was most
terrible
Once during the brooding season a
shell burst near the nest. The sitting
swan paid no attention to it, except
that she fiuttered little from the con-
cussion.
There is a scrap of shrapnel half
buried and fiattened, between two
bricks Of the moat not three feet from
the nest. This struck at night. When
soldiers saw them In the morning the
two old birds and the young ones were
stretching their necks preparatory to
their morning dip into The moat's
waters. quite as IL the night had been
one OF untroubled slumber.
