DELIGHTFUL CONCERT At
WESTM|N TER CHURCH
Splendid Musical Affair Given for
the Benefit Of the Red
Cross.

At Westminster Presbyterian Church,
last night the results Of a season s
conscientious and assduous practise on
the part Of the director and members of
the Glee Club connected with the church
were presented TO the public, and re-
eeived with hearty commendation by n
large and discriminating audience.
The concert was a demonstration, II
such we're needed, OF the deeply musical
spirit that characterizes this community
and will some day culninate IN producing
broader results than have been hitherto
possible; the weekly sing" at the High
School on Monday evenings being an
other factor showing the sarnc tendency.
The Westminster Church has sgnally
aided in the move for good music by
its incorporation with the regular services
nf the best available outside musical
talent. both vocal and instrumental.
in addition To it's already competent choir
and director. and this broad-minded
policy on the part of the church organiza-
ton cannot be too highly commended.
Last nights concert was under the
direction Of Frederick w Wyatt, the
church's musical director, rs conductor,
and in addition to the G'lee Club chorus.

SOME" AS AN ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
Wealth Of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit of coming new
meanings for words already known Is
closely allied to that OF coining words,
writes c. jefferson Weber in the North
American Review. Take. for example,
the current slang use of that much
used word "some." What n wealth Of
meaning and insinuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the word
"Some" as an adverb may be heard
In mnny places. For instance. In the
Teign valley district of Devon. the M
tives may say, at did rain zum yes
terday.- But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
THAT was some rain yesterday" This
use Is hard to define. In the middle
OF the last century some" meaning
considerable. or notable was called "a
modern slang word Today "some"
Is almost limitless In Its capacity for
application. II implies approval. en-
thusiasm, sarcasm. wonder. admlra-
ton. disgust-or amusement.
The seeds may have been sown in
Cornwall. in Devon or in Lancashire.
but seriously doubt II . native of any
Of these counties would ever say en-
Enthusiastically. ave had some fun last
night" or sarcasticalIy. This is some
book" Another word to which Ameri-
cans have given new meaning is the
verb "raise." In England. men raise
crops; In America, they also raise chill
dren.

COLORADO Bakers SEEK
FOR WHEATlESS FORMULA

Loyal bakers in Colorado have been
spending their leisure time OF late
plumbing the mysteries Of absolutely
wheatless bread. Wheat flour. in the
past, has always been used as the
binding ingredient in bread and with
II eliminated. bakers have been hard
pressed TO find an adequate substi-
tute
Various excellent samples OF wheat
less bread has been submitted TO W.
Y. Pritts. head of the bakers division
OF the Food Administration. and 1t Is
expected that a practical formula will
be discovered within a very short
time.
The necessity for a whestless bread
faced the bakers OF the state when a
large number of its leading hotels
volunteered to refuse to serve wheat
products of any kind until after the
wheat harvest.

CHINA LOSING TRADE IN TEA
General Opinion That Scientific Guilt
walton Of the Plant Has Been
Begun Too Late.

China's tea trade Is not keeping pace
with the worlds consumption of tea.
Scientific cultivation instead Of old
time methods and the use Of mnchin-
cry are being used in the effort to
regain the lost commercial ground.
The ministry ~ agriculture has estab-
lished n model farm. and the first tea
.rnwn on II was sent to market this
year. 1t Is said to hive been Of good
quality. but no details are yet avail
able Of the equipment and methods
employed. Foreign tea men seem to
have little fniih In the results OF this
ATTEMPTED reform and consider 1t un-
likely that Chinese teas will ever re-
gain the leading place in the markets
Of the world. II Is said that Chinese
teas have less tannin than other teas,
and that the finer grades ar, unsur-
passed in delicncy NJ flavor; but the
average tea driulscr seems 20 find the
teas OF India and i"ylon satisfactory.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Jail for Judge Lynch.

"To protect citizens of the United
States against lynching in default Of
prosecution by the States" is the title
of bill introduced in the House BY
Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of
Missouri. It is the first measure that
has been presented to Congress which
undertakes to deal in an effective way
with the lynching evil. It is aimed
directly at the county officers who fail
to do their duty in preventing an at
tempted lynching, and makes such
failure a crime against the United
States, punishable by fine of s5,O0C
or Imprisonment for five years. In ad-
dition to proceedings against officers

Dyer provides that every county in
which a lynching occurs shall forfeit
sum of not less than $1,000 and not
more than $4,000, to be paid to the
dependent family of the person put
to death. To lovers of law and order
it is indeed refreshing to read Mr..
Dyer's bill, and it is the earnest hope
of every good citizen that it may
speedily be enacted into law.
A Disgusting Substitute.
In recent discussion in the House
of Representatives concerning the de-
layed transmission of mail from the
United States to our soldier boys in
France, Congressman Gillett, of Mas
sachusetts, said: "The latest COM

did not receive any letters, but that
the camp was flooded with tons of
speeches of the Secretary of the
Treasury; and can think Of nothing

Austrians Desert
by Thousands and
Sell Their Equipment

London. Aug. 2S.-Arthur Ran
some, who records events in Russia
from the Bolshevik point of view,
telegraphs to the London Daily
News under date of Sunday that the
revolutionary spirit in the Ukraine
is growing and that a peasant army
of nearly 10000 is fighting COM
bined German and Ukrainian ma
tional troops near the Skvira rail-
road. He further says:
with regard to Austria, reliable
authorities report the situation as
critical, the internal chaos and the
condition of the army reminding
him very much of the state of Rus
sia Immediately before the revolu-
ton. Desertion from all fronts is
turning into mass movement to the
rear, which nothing can stop. This
is confirmed from the more intimate
knowledge of Russian prisoners who
are making their way out of Aus
tria. They say soldiers are pouring
back from the Italian front, starving
selling their equipments and even
their bavonetS to peasants in eX-
change for something to eat.
THE sympathy of the peasants Is
with the soldiers. They themselves
are eXasperated by the desperate
policy of acquisitions. They hide
what they have, and resist the police
in their efforts to unearth their
supplies.

Wanted in Court Since
July on Attachment, May
Be Held For Contempt

Contempt of court may be the
charge brought against Simon Stef-
fy, 514 North Second street, as a
result of his apparent attempt to
elude the sheriff, his deputies, and
railroad police who have been hunt
ing him since July 8, when an at
tachment was issued by the Dau-
phin county court because he was
said to be back three months in pay
ments, a total of $3.50, in his ali
mony to his wife. 1t is the second
time he has been in arrears.
Steffy was arrested about $50
o'clock last night by city patrol
man, who entered the house to as
certain If he was there. He spent
the night in Jail and was informed
this morning that he cannot be ad-
mitted to bail without the consent
of the court and that both judges
are away and Judge Kunkel will not
be home until Tuesday.
Steffy is employed as an engineer
running between Harrisburg and
Jersey City. Since the attachment
was issued, it is said, he has been
eluding the officers of the law who
attempted to apprehend him. Not
at home" was the answer at the
house when officers called. 1t was
said this morning that Steffy will
be called before the judges at the
earliest opportunity, probably on
Tuesday, when Judge Kunkel comes
home from Fort Deposit for a short
stay.

Heavy loss and great inconveni-

two more stoker arches caved in at
the Cedar street plant of the Harris
burg Light and Power Company, the
city's sole source of electrical cur
rent. Not a watt of. current was
manufactured here for several hours
as a result of this breakdown since
the Cedar street plant alone is in
operation during the summer to fur
nish current to meet Harrisburgs
needs
Essential war industries and bust
ness districts, unaffected during last
weeks deficiency of current, were
reached for the first time this morn
ing. The few essential industries that
were affected had their power turn
ed off only a few minutes and the
current was shut off from the busi-
ness district for just little more
than an hour. Residences and in
dustries affected last week had their
entire supply of power turned off
for a short time, but at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, only three circuits in
residential sections, were without
their usual supply of current.
Even the office of the Harrisbure
Light and Power Company was
forced to go without light this morn
ing when the current failed in the
business district, and the company
was given its first experience of its
