A TENDENCY

A tendency to thin blood, or anemia,

PRODUCTION or GASOLINE
Is RAPIDLY INCREASING

According TO agures given out At
Washington there Ii no immediate
danger OF q gasoline shortage IN the
United States. The statement ia a.
follows;
During 1917 there was a SO per
cent increase In the production OF
gasoline or nearly 100000 gallons
per day more than in the calendar
year OF 1915. according TO the latest
figures OF the Bureau Of Mines. The
daily increase in gallons over 1915
was / .s63.S06.
THAT the increase In production
In steadily gaining. and has been
gaining during 1917. Is indicated BY
the fact that the production OF gasO-
line during the last six months OF the
year was much greater than during
the first six months.
The gasoline production for the
entire 1917 year was 2.72s,7ls,0SS
gallons. On q basis OF S65 working
days. this represents q daily produe-
tion OF 7.<7s.ss0 gallons. In 1915
the daily production was 6.e26.S67
gallons. The total increase In gAso-
line products in 1917 "a compared
with 1918 IL over a.0OO .o0O. 600. the

this an overwhelming majority is
assured for every Republican on the
ticket from top to bottom in Harris
burg and the county this year. and
the campaign may be regarded as a
mere formal canvass. If they do not
they may find themselves outside the
breastworks when the balloting ends
in November. OF course, the Repub-
lican candidates in this county must
have observed that the Republican
nominees for the Legislature in York,
Cumberland, Franklin and other
Central Pennsylvania counties are
pledged to the amendment and enter
the fight with absolute assurance of
popular support. Such a stand on the
part of the local candidates would
not only make their own election
sure. because any hope of the cleo
tion of Democrats in the city and
county, is predicated on a failure by
Republicans to properly align them
selves on this issue, but as has been
said, would strengthen the whole
ticket.

Comrades of the Men
(From the New Republic)

(F'rom the New Republic)
To call on women to conduct
propaganda, to sell Liberty Bonds,
to occupy important positions. to
undertake hard and steady physical
labor. to share in every responsible
ity and every activity except that of
actually carrying arms, and then to
deny them the opportunity of vot-
ing, would be one of those acts of
fundamental inhumanity and injus-
tice which would in the end involve
in disaster the nation which con-
sented to it. The women of Amer
lea are the comrades of the men in
this fight. They have just as much
to gain as the men have from the
successful achievement of American
national purpose and just as much
to lose as a consequence of failure.
Any man who has seen the parade
of American nurses and of the
mothers of the drafted men, and
who refHJes to allow to wome en-
their share in the responsibility for
the political policy, whose burdens
they are so cheerfully carrying, is
callous to the moral realities of
what is now taking place almost to
the point of being defective

OUR NEGRO SOLDIERS

(Lieut. o. E. McKaine in Outlook)
The traditions of the negro SOL
dier may be traced in the history of
the great Chaka in the Valley of
the Nile, thousands of years ago;
Hannibal, greatest of tacticians," +"
in the war between Carthage and
Rome; L'Ouverture in the Haitian
rebellion against the mighty Napol-
con; Attucks, as the first casualty in
Americas first battle against the
tyranny of George III on Boston
Common; black sailors with Perry
on Lake Erie; Black Sampson at
Brandywine; Peter Salem at Bun
ker Hill; Carney at Fort Wagner;
the oath and 25th Regiments of In
fantry and the 9Th and 10th Cav
airy at Ell Caney and San Juan in
Cuba and during the insurrection
in the Philippines; and the feat of
the 10th Cavalry at Carrizal while
with the punitive expedition in Mex
leo. The place of honor held by
the negro in the profession of arms
is predicated upon the enviahle and
cherished facts that he has never
had traitor within his ranks und
has never had the blot of cowardice 9
upon his spotless escutcheon. His
prestige is based upon the high re-
gard as a fighting man in which
he is held by all fighters whom he
has opposed, whether they be white
men, black men, or brown men.

all times enforced. The boys are
given the fundamental training of
the soldier. They are taught use
and care of rifle, the care OF their
own bodies on the march and in
camp. squad and company move
ments, and the art OF handling small
bodies OF troops on the map and
on the ground. or the rudiments of
minor tactics. Target designation,
signaling and trench maneuvers are
also taught. Overnight hikes are
held in the spring. and. If desired. a
camp OF at least seven days duration
during the summer.
In addition to the undeniable ply
sical benefits in the Steever plan. the
modified plan of military and physis
cal training outlined above has also
a definite moral value. 1t teaches
not only the respect and courtesy
which is part of military life, but
also, through the keenness of its
competitions and the constant en-
phasis of the officers in .charge, the
necessity of training. of clean living
and clean thinking. 1t teaches re-
spect for authority and the habit of
obedience; the ability to give an
order and to execute one.

Feed the Soldiers
(Pennsylvania Farmerl


Reports of shortened rations for
the allied soldiers emphasizes the
urgency of the European demand
for flour. The American people
have done really wonderful things
in the conservation of the most
needed foods. People of whole areas
have pledged themselves to eat no
more wheat flour until the next mar
vest. More and larger bodies of
people have curtailed wheat con-
sumption to the minimum. All of
these efforts have been necessary
to stretch the limited supply over
the urgent needs of our fighting
men. And there are still six weeks
to two months before the new crop
will be available. and still longer
before wheat -four can move In con-
siderable volume. This means that
farmers must sell all wheat on hand
or our soldiers and those of our
allies must go without. There is
nothing to be gained by holding ON.
The needs are so great that the Food
Administration urges selling even
what has been held for seed. The
possibility of short supply at seed
ing time is so remote and the pres
ent needs are so great that all farm-
ers are urged to sell all the wheat
they have. Each bushel sold now
will provide bread for a little more
than one soldier in Europe until the
new crop supply is available. 1t
is unpatriotic not to sell. It is only
humane to let it go. Sell now.

KANSAS, 81 YEARS "DRY,"e
SCORNS RETURN OF SALOON
From the Kansas City Star

THE interesting communication
printed in The Star of yester-
day from the New York
Tribune, reciting the history of thir-
ty-seven years of prohibition in
Kansas, was reminder to Kansas
itself of the fact The anniversar!t
of the date was May 1. Prohibition
has become so thoroughly establish
ed in the state that Kansas pays
little heed to the number of years
it has been in effect.
Prohibition is no longer a matter
of discussion in Kansas. There was
a time when you could start an argu-
ment as to the merits of the law
almost anywhere, on the train, in
the hotel lobby, in store, office or
even in the homes. For many years
there always was some one to take
up the question on behalf of booze.
But that day has passed One could
get just as far with an argument
that typhoid fever is q good thing
for community as he could with an
argument that the saloon should be
brought back into the state.
Every time prohibition is made
an issue in some other state, the
saloon interests print circulars and
posters to point out the havoc pro-
hibition has wrought in Kansas, but
Kansas does not even know that it
is under discussion. not to mention
its Ignorance of the "ruination"
wrought by prohibition.
