Storage Building to Hold
$4,000 Barrels Of Apples

Gettysburg, Pa, Oct. 4.-The new
storage plant here has started the
storing of apples and although the
building is not finished there is room
for about twelve thousand barrels,
which will ne placed in the building
before the close of the season. Be
cause of the limited space for this
season only Adams county apples
will be stored and the growers are
quickly availing themselves of the
opportunity of placing their fruit
either here or at Biglerville, instead
of going to the expense of sending
it to one of the large city establish
ments. When the building is finish
ed it will be possible to store thirty
thousand barrels of apples. whicn
will be n great factor in handling
and marketing the local crop to ad-
vantage.

monies.
In'the hotels where there are bars
present the proprietors may keep
open the cafes at which lunches are
served. No Intoxicating liquor may
be sold however and should large
crowds congregate the cafes may be
closed also.
DR.. B. +. Roger, State Commits
sioner of Health, made the first order
last night closing all amusement
houses and saloons in the state. The
effects of the move were apparent
this morning when workmen found
the bars at hotels closed.
The official order follows:
The spread of epidemic influenza
in other states has shown that pub
lie gatherings and places where large
numbers of people are likely to con-
gregate play important parts in the
dissemination of the disease. This
is especially the case in poorly light
e6 and badly ventilated rooms. As
the disease at this time shows definite
signs of assuming serious propor-
tions, drastic measures must be taken
f.t once.
by the authority OF the powers
vested in me as Commissioner of
Health ard as authorized in the act
of April 27,105, your Board of Health
is directed to close all public places
Gf entertainment, including theaters,
moving picture establishments, sa-
looms and dance halls, and to pro-
hibit all meetings of every descrip-
ton until iuJther notice from this
department.
"If necessary placard all doo-S
l,IdinE TO laces enumerated ci.sed

of Health"
1T will, for the present, and sub
iect to fu.iicr order from this de-
aartment, be left to the Judgment
of local keaith authorities as 70
whether or not the public schools,
Sunday schC els and chur hes lie
closed. If, in the case of tho ch.roIc.
children are under medical superyi-
sion and those having coTghs arl

these would not appear tc be tho
same necessity for directing the clos

Gettysburg, Pa, Oct. 4.-Playing
with fire caused the destruction of
the large barn of James c. Cole. one
of the finest in the northern end of
the county, together with all of the
contents except the stock. Mr.. Coles
little daughter and her cousin were
playing about the strawstack and
accidentally set fire to this highly
inflammable material. They tried to
put it out, but it gained headway
rapidly and soon both it and barn
were doomed. What stock was in
the barn was taken to a place of
safety, but the grain, hay, mach!n-
cry, harness and other contents were
all burned.

that an association has been formed
which, with the cooperation Of the
manufacturers and designers Of this
country, intends to standardize the
color chart to be used by the trade.
Previous to this time, in fact at the
present time, if one goes to one shop
and asks for certain shade and then
into another and asks for the same
shade, the. result is that each shop
offers an entirely different color. If
the colors were standardized this
would be avoided and much confusion
concerning colors would be eliminated,
The cooperation Of all American
women is asked in this movement
and I'm sure it will be readily given.
Fringe Passes Out ~
For a long time fringe was the
most sought-after trimming that
could be found. But like all things
that have enjoyed supreme popu-
larity it must abdicate in favor Of
some newer things such as jet anil
wool embroideries. One quite effdk L
tive out little extreme AFTERNOON
frock which one of the importers Is
showing is Of henna colored duvetyn
in one-piece effect and bright, very
bright wool embroidery at the lower
edge Of the skirt, at the edge Of the
flowing sleeves, and around the col
larless neck.
Another whispered hint of passing
is the gradual disappearance of OF
rather the gradual decrease in sales
of the short fur coates. These have
been very popular all summer and
have been ultra smart for the fall

are tickle, and now as the winter sets
in they are inclined to discard them

SOmber, Interesting CoIOrs
For the Winter Season

One of the most essential consider
ations for the selection of an attrac-
tive wardrobe is the color of the ma
terials which are used in it's various
developments. Very little, if any,
thought is given by the average wona-
en- to the color which most suits her
particular style Of looks and COM
plexion. 1t does make a big differ
ence if the right color is chosen. The
entire effect Of frock or amy gar
ment is lost, irrespective of its grace,
if of the wrong color. It is there
fore quite necessary that. a moderate
amount of thought be given to the
shade of the garment if the thing is
to be a success, t4

Fur and flowers! And indeed this
makes a remarkably pretty combina-
ton. The sales of hats of this COM
bination have been tremendous. They
seem to appeal to the most discern
ing taste. The flowers bring out all
that is soft and beautiful in the fur
and render it silky and likable to look
at. Just think of a modest little
squirrel tam and still more modest
flower perched quietly on the small
brim.
Vests Are Still Popular
These attractive things may be de-
veloped in such a variety of ways
that they have justified their retain
ment for the new winter frocks. In
dividuality may be expressed so cas-
lily in them that they give that per-
sonal look which we are all eager to
accomplish. Illustrated here is an
excellent example of unique vest.

(By United press)

With the American Army in

f In Fismette the Americans took
some prisoners, among them a Prus-

over American roads under guard,

He explained his bewilderment to an

Fismette by saying, ''We thought the
U-boats had practically cut America
off from Europe. though there
were almost no Americans in Europe,
but have seen nothing but Americans,
American guns, American cannons and
