NEWS OF STEELTON
Great Need For Student
Nurses Is Pointed Out

Mrs. Frank A. Robbins, president
of the Steelton Chapter of Red Cross
has received a letter from the ma
tional headquarters asking her to-
terest young women of the town to
take up hospital training as nurses.
The profession has always been an
honored one, and the present need
for nurses because of the war has
attached to the profession an honor
greater than ever. Hospitals in all
sections of the country are in great
need of students and are offering in
ducements that make it possible for
almost any intelligent girl to take
up the work. Requirements have
been lowered and salaries increased.
For those who can fulfill the require
ments this call for student nurses is
q call to patriotism. Mrs. Robbins
will be glad to give all information
necessary as to requirements, etc., to
all those interested. That many girls
of Steelton are fitted for such work
has been we'll proved by the excel
lent work that has been done by
them in the last several weeks at the
emergency hospital, where their ef-
forts have helped much to restore to
health so many of the patients
brought there for treatment.

In a few days football will be
cracked wide open, for the demand
has come both from abroad and
home and at the approaching war
fund activities it will be necessary
to stage many big games. This means
a mighty program of battles, such
as the L. of p. with Georgia Tech
for Coach Heisman's Yellow Jackets
are practically signed up now to ap-
pear against Penn at Franklin Field
on Saturday, December Z. The gov
ernment has consented and this is
regarded as a tip that the game Will
be opened wide. Uncle Sam has been
persuaded to this move much by let
ters from the front, letters from
pigskin heroes who testify what the
game means for soldiers.
One that has met profound atten-
ton at Washington is from Major
Joseph Thompson, 10th Infantry,
Fighting Tenth" of Pittsburgh.
Says he:
Keep football alive, by all means.
once thought it would better be
discontinued during the war, but
when / see those who have played

all that a man requires to lead men
under fire, but it is valuable asset.
When l have any choice in selecting
officers for my battalion, l always
choose the football player"
Thompson was captain of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh football team
in 1904 and '05, and he relates:
This is a much more interesting
game than football. In place of

OOBA OPENED ETERNAL CROWNED KING OF TURF
Women Football Coaches
Plentiful in New England

Boston, Oct. 29.-Boston now has
it's women football coaches and
referees, and is proud of them. OF
course, it's another result of the
war taking so many of the young
athletes, but the women are maxi
ing good.
Any weekday afternoon from 4
to you will see a horde OF
youngsters mastering the finer
points OF the game at the public
school Fairgrounds under the di-
rection OF women teachers.
When the men teachers who in
other years had charge of the ath-
letic sports of the boys, were call
ed away to war the question of
how to properly supervise the
schoolboy games became a serious
problem. Two young women teach
ers of the Quincy School came to
the rescue and volunteered to take
mems places.
This news should be no shock.
for in England women are taking
the place of men in almost every
activity. II must tell you what
struck me most in England was
the English women" writes a SOL
dier. In the streets you are con-
stantly meeting women in uni
form. These are the workers from
the front, the active helpers of the
fighters in the firing line. They
are either home on short leave or
are starting for the front. 1t is
easy to see from their determined
expressions that the grim busi-
ness of war absorbs their whole
life, all their energies. Among
them one finds women hailing from
England's most remote colonies,
who came voluntarily forward to
do their bit for their mother coun-
try.
II was much interested TO see
that women have replaced men in
almost all spheres of public life:
they dash through the streets of
London driving heavy touring
cars and motor lorries. they have
turned into porters, and one finds
them in most government and pub
lie offices; in the fields behind the
plow. or in the woods welding
the AK and saw. Man is at the
front. Woman has stepped into
his place in every walk of life,
and how successfully! A friend
told me that the cultivated area
of England has increased 400 per
cent. since the war. Yet most of
1t is worked by women"

Wants Bill Taft
as Baseball Chief
For Big Leagues

A complete reorganization in.
baseball is necessary" says George
Tebeau, one-time owner of the
Cleveland Club. and one who knows
the game from top to bottom.
First of all, the supreme power
of baseball must be changed. There
is no greater admirer of Ban john
son than l am. Not in a personal
way, but you've got to acknowl-
edge his baseball ability. But Ban
does not belong on the National
Commission any more than does
the president of the National or
Garry Hermann, club owner be-
long there. ,,,
cd ON a firm basis we need a man
like former President Taft. VINO IS
n baseball fan in the first place and
also possesses a wonderful legal
mind. II not Taft, then Judge Ian
dis would make a wonder IN that
position. Neither of these men mas
an interest in either league. FOR
that reason either could sit ana re-
view a case unprejudiced and with
ont bias in either direction. Place
one of them in that important po-
sition, Pay him a salary sufhcient
10 induce him to give his time TO
baseball, and then we'd get some
where. to say nothing of the
prestige he would bring to the
JAS the National Commission
stands now, johnson is preJudiced
toward the American League, ana
naturally leans toward that or
9snization in all matters. The same
was true of Tener when head OF
the National League. Garry Herr,
mann has no business there at all
because he is a club owner ana
must naturally favor his own IN
terests when decisions are render
ed. 1t was all wrong, and the pup
lie has begun to see the light"
Tebeau believes baseball viii
benefit greatly from the rest 1t will
have during the war. He is con-
vihced that no brand of baseball
except the organized professional
kind. with leagues and pennant
fights, will prosper. for to be inter-
esting he thinks baseball must
have a pennant fight.
az think baseball will be greater
than ever when play is resumed,
he added. ITS the great national
pastime and you cannot eliminate

are manufacturing ball players.
When these youngster come back
they'll need only developing, and
that will be an easy matter. be-
cause we still had with us season.

so, you see, we are all together
here. The strongest rivals in football
are the staunchest friends on the
battlefield. Lieutenant Yeager, an
old State star of 1914, is another one
of the boys who have delivered un-
der fire. He too, is in our regiment,
and while we have lots of fun about
football, we have the best teamwork

NO HALLOWEEN
FESTIVITIES
Parties and Other Gatherings
Not to Be llowed Because
of the Epidemic

Burgess McEntee yesterday issued
an order prohibiting all Halloween
parties and gatherings because of
the influenza epidemic. Because of
the improvement in the epidemic sit
uation here parties were being
planned in the hopes that the ban
might b lifted by Wednesday or
Thursday of this week. All indica-
tions now point to q continuance of
the quarantine for another week.
All official meetings of the borough
officers have been postponed and
these postponements, together with
the Halloween order. point to at
least another week of quarantine.
The health board is determined to
have the epidemic cleaned up be-
fore the quarantine be lifted up, and
although conditions are continually
improving the epidemic has not
passed over by any means. At the
stel plant there is still great short
age of men due to the epidemic. No.
1 blast furnace is still out of COM
mission because of the lack of men,
and other departments are still Grip
pied The local physicians while no
longer rushed as they were week
ago, still have a large number of
cases on hand, and there are still
thirty-one patients at the emergency
hospital. Before the quarantine is
lifted there will probably be thor
ough systematic inspection of cer-
tain sections of the town in an en-
deavor to locate stray cases that MAY
have escaped attention.
Five members of the Reserve
Militia under Corporal Stoner were
yesterday sent to Milton for epidemic
duty there.
Mrs. Robbins. president of the
Steelton Chapter, Red Cross, has
asked that any calls for relief in
cases of suffering or distress brought
on by the epidemic be made to the
Red Cross in Steelton. There are
a number of charitable organizations
in town in addition to the many
churches, all of which will be only
too glad to help in any cases of
distress, and there is no need what
soever to ask outside aid t this
time.

"OUTRAGEOUS,"
ASSERTS KNOX OF
WILSON APPEAL
Condemns Presidents Pro-
posal That Congress Abdi-
cate; Penrose Speaks

Washington, Oct. 29.-Peace nego-
tiations and President wilson's APP
peal to his ellow-countrymen to re-
turn a Democratic Congress were
the vehicles of a partisan debate in
the Senate yesterday which continued
throughout the session and blocked
plans for adjournment of Congress
over the elections.
The discussion, which was opened
by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania.
Republican and former secretary of
state was an attack on the Presidents
appeal to the electorate. became gem
eral. Republicans sharply criticised
the President for carrying on peace
discussions with the Central powers
and for enunciating terms and prin-
ciples of peace.
Adjournment Plan Baked
The Republicans also overturned
the plans of the Democratic leaders
of the Senate and House to adjourn
over the election, and forced Con-
gress to remain in session. The House
early in the day adopted a resolution
providing for adjournment from to-
day until November II. The Repub-
lican Senate leaders refused to agree
to II, however, and the House was
forced TO take only a three-day re-
cess.
Outrageous, Says Knox
"a few days ago." said Senator
Knox, "the country was astounded
eand shocked to find the chief execu-
tive calling for the election of Demo
cratic senators and representatives
