NURSE SURVEY
IS UNDER WAY
Nations Resources in Trained
Women Are Being
Tabulated

The survey of the nursing re-
sources of Harrisburg begun several
weeks ago by the local Red Cross
chapter is progressing rapidly with
very satisfactory results, it was stat
ed to-day. No figures as to present
results could be given out for pub
lication but If the replies on the
missionaries filled out by nurses
are any criterion, the nurses of Har-
risburg are solid in their patriotic
determination to aid the govern
ment in any and every way. Mrs.
James T. Chamberlain is chairman
of the committee in charge of the
registration. Every nurse in the
classes ranging from pupil and stu
dent nurses to graduate nurses, is
provided with a QUESTIONABLE upon
application at Red Cross headquar-
ters. This is filed out for the in
formation of the local chapter. When
any future contingency such as the
recent influenza epidemic arises the
Red Cross will have within a fingers
reach nurses who are ready and
willing to fight with every ounce of
womanpower.
What the survey will mean to
Amortization it is nationwide sur
vey the Red Cross is conducting

official Red Cross bulletin, Red Cross
Clippings" Says the publications:
The survey will show for the
country at large some interesting
facts, namelN
Il. The country's total nursing
resources by classes in relation to
population, by states, counties and
cities.
'"2. The capacity for service of

ferent lines of service.

nurses will be determined and those
now in other occupations viii be
discovered and perhaps returned to
their profession.
"a. Some knowledge of the health
needs of the various communities
in relation to the supply of nurses

Mr.. Lewis of Bethlehem and Quincy
Bent. of the Steelton plant, were
more than enthusiastic over the in
PRODUCTION of professional ball into
their plants. They say it was an
energizer for the workers and they
demonstrated appreciation of
Cockill's work by presenting MIN a
magnificent gold watch, inscribed
with distinguished names and with
a real tribute for merit.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CHARLEs HARTWICK

Many a Harrisburger of sporting
instinct was shocked last Saturday
to hear of the sudden death OF
Charley Hartwick, the well-known
ballplayer. of the old Harrisburg Ath-
letic Clubs famous team. A lover or
all manly sports, an especially keen
and resourceful leader, Charley
Hartwick was withal a gentleman on
and off the field:
Quiet and unassuming to degree,
this devotee of wholesome sport,
this friend of a multitude, this
Christian husband and father, of
many years of unbroken attendance
at church and Sunday school-how
many suspected in him a deep and
abiding passion, for flowers?
Devoted to Horticulture, Charley
Hartwick grew, in his tiny backyard.
MANY flowers, and particularly dahl
las. chrysanthemums and roses, that
were a revelation to those who saw
them. In roses especially he & g'oried.
and particularly through pudding, "
eliciting anomalies in nature.
AS an instance of his skill in con-
forming nature to art, he worked"
seven distinct varieties of hybrld-tea
roses on a horizontal shoot of a
June blooming climber; and it was
my pleasure to see those lovely
blooms just two short weeks ago, ma
jestically standing forth on an other
wise bare old rosecane, and IL seemed
in this, he typified the desire of hu-
man nature to make the bare places
of life bright-to blossom as the
rose"
In the first annual rose show, held
here last June. he showed bloom of
the rose r'Pharasaier" that the judges
awarded first prize; and he confided
to the writer how expectantly he
looked forward to entering next
years competition.
To-day they laid Charley" Hart
wick away; but his memory. like the
perfume of his roses. fingers.

SteeltOn Leaguers Working Here;
League Sure to. Be Kept Up

The Bethlehem Steel League, that
new and peppery organization which
filled the stands on Cottage Hill this
summer and gave the highest class
of big league ball to a hungry pub
lie will be in operation again next
year, says Manager George Cockill,
himself, who is, in great measure re-
sponsible for this decision of the steel
although it is consensus
of opinion among the whole number
of officials that this sport did great
things for the corporation and
should be maintained.
With this in view there are now
at Steelton, employed at useful and
daily work, a whole buncn of the
veterans who shone so brilliantly in
the pastime, among them Steve
Yerkes, Beall and "Shirty" Miller.

BASEBALL WILL
BOOM NEXT YEAR
National to Open Parks and
American Sure to Follow
Suit; Season to Be Later

No matter what minor league base
ball men threaten, next year prom
ises a great revival of the game. Or
ganized baseball will resume opera
tions for next season with both ma
jor league circuits intact and with
whatever players are available. This
information comes through an au-
thoritative source and plans reach
ing toward that end have progress
ed so far that the National League
club owners have already held one
meeting and started preparations for
opening the season of 1919. Until the
sudden cessation of hostilitieS in Eu-
rope, Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, was opposed to
his organization starting another
season until conditions became set
tied, but he has been feeling the
pulse of the club owners in his lea
que and will be guided by their judg-
ment. The National League meet
ing will convene in New York early
next month and the American Lea
que will hold its meeting about the
same time.
All of the magnates in the Ma
tional League are in favor of open
ing next season, and it is understood
the majority of the American Lea
que owners have expressed their
willingness to open their parks.
Whatever action is taken by the two
leagues must be done quickly. With
the prospect of the war lasting at
least one more year, the baseball
men figured on having plenty of
time to shape things for opening
the season of 1920, but with the
war over the magnates are eager to
get back into the game. They be-
lieve that next year will be great
one for sports and are eager to make
as early start as possible.
Owing to the limited time the
will have to arrange their
affairs, it is not believed the leagues
will not be able TO start as early as
in previous years, nor is it consider
ed advisable under the conditions. SO
far as grounds are concerned, both
leagues could start early in the
spring, but the owners face the prob
lem of getting their players together.
At the conclusion of last season an
agreement was reached among the
magnates of the two leagues where
bv all playes on the reserve isis OF
the sixteen clubs are held as Ihe
property of the various cluoS, so
that there will be no trouble over
PLAYERS jumping from one league TO
the other or from one CLUB 10 an
other.

Penn's gridiron warriors returned
from Pittsburgh beaten, but by no

conclusion before the team entrained
on Friday that it would go down in
defeat at the hands of a far superior
eleven. Greatly outweighed, the
majority of the players having little
if any football experience behind
them, they fought the great Pitt
eleven, coached by Glenn Warner.

and with the indOmitable Pennsyl-

Penn deserves credit for the way
it fought in the face of certain disas-
ter. Now that this game is n thing
of the past the players will devote all
their efforts in trying TO turn the re-
naming games on the schedule to
victories. The Georgia Tech game
on December is the ultimate aim of
their cndeavor and the entire squad
is interested in the outcome of the
game between this team and the
