Memorial Bridge Given
High Praise by Officials;

The proposed memorial bridge
across the railroad at State street.
upon which will be engraved the
names of every Pennsylvania soldier,
to-day met with the approval of City
Solicitor John L. Fox, who said:

would be very appropriate way of
showing our gratitude to the soldiers

project undoubtedly should be car

Andrew S. Patterson. president of

the plan.
There should be state memorial"
he said. "and l think a memorial
bridge at State street would be very
fitting. The fact that 1t would be

KEPT DAUGHTER

Girl of 10 Is Removed From

verely Disciplined

Because she was incorrigible and
had been too severely punished by
her parents who kept her locked in a
room on the second floor of her home
at 2249 Jefferson street, county au-
thorities are arranging now to have
Ida Belle Hocum, aged 10. daughter

been neglected by her parents who
kept her confined the entire time.
The case had been reported to the
Poor Board but no action was taken
at the time according to J. William
Bayles. the chief clerk. because the
father of the girl is financially able to
properly care for her. When the ac-
tual condition of affairs was learned
and the authorities investigated the
reports of how strongly she was be-

Many Boys Are Heard on

Lack of discipline in the home and
bad companions are largely respon-
siblsible for the increase in juvenile
crime, county officials said to-day,
during the session of court at which
about forty boys and girls were be-
ing heard, many of them on charges
OF inccrrigibility or larceny.
Parents are too lax in their deal

cial said. The boys and girls know
this and soon take advantage of IL.
They associate with other children
in whose bones the same conditions
exist and soon they are doing things
which result in their arrest, and
sometimes it is necessary to send
them to reform schools. | believe
too, that the need for hep brought
about by the demand for. war ma

MANY PLACES ARE OPEN
Jobs Ready For Hundreds
Who Have Worked in
Munitions Plants

Despite the slowing down of mu-
nitions plants resulting in a ten
dency for many persons working in
shops carrying government contracts
to seek new employment. there is
such great demand for labor in the
city at the present time that the
shortage is not being adequately
met. The Pennsylvania Railroad
alone is making more demands for
labor than it can secure.
An official of the Philadelphia
division said to-day that in seeking
employees in various cities and towns
in Eastern Pennsylvania. the great
labor shortage was brought forcibly
to his attention. The PENNSYLVANIA
Company in this city has not been
in the habit during the war period
of drawing upon other towns for la
Dor. 1t has been compelled to do so
recently. however, and attempts to
secure help were made in many
towns. among them Parkesburg.

Shortage Is Felt
At Coatesville the labor shortage
is being felt so much that an at
tempt has been made to import
held from Baltimore. One concern
alone in Coatesville needs 800 odd
men to keep moving. A large con-
cern in Lebanon told the official that
they were short $50 men and that
there was a very scarce possibility
of securing employees there.
Even with munition contracts cam
celled there seems to be very little
relief for the labor situation. This
was found in towns where labor was
largely dependent. upon government
contracts. Companies carrying such
contracts have in some instances
gone over to peace work or are
making preparations to do this, and
the possibilities of a real shortage
in labor is troubling officials more

NOW SAYS LETTER
There Is Very Little Doing
There Now.

Felix Mccall is in receipt of a
letter from a friend at Anchorage
in which it is stated that conditions
are very quiet at the coast head
quarters of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, due largely to the fact
that there is very little doing at the
present time in the way of railroad
construction.
There is absolutely nothing doing,
the letter states, in the way of prop
erty transfers, there being no mar
ket at the present time for lots of
any description. And business CON
ditions generally, are slow
Mr.. Mccall, who formerly resided
at Anchorage, says that there is
nothing surprising in the statements
