: The Harrisburg chapter of the
American Red Cross has been desig
mated as a collection center for all
fruit pits and nutshells collected by
the Red Cross chapters of surround
ing towns. A telegram was received
this morning to this effect by Mrs.
Lyman d. Gilbert, from Charles Scott
division manager of the Pennsylvania
and Delaware Red Cross. The tele-
gram requests that storage accom-
modations on a railroad siding be
secured, to which all collections or
fruit stones and nutshells may be
sent for shipment to Gas Defense

Ex-Mayor ]. William Bowman has
agreed to act as chairman of collec-
ton centers, for the Red Cross chap
ters of this vicinity at the request
of the local chapter All communi-
cations regarding collection and dis
posal of fruit pits and nutshel!s
should be addressed to him.
A bulletin from the Red Cross d.
vision manager emphasizes the vital
Importance of a vigorous campaign
as the fruit season is rapidly nearing
an end and the nut season will, snort
ly commence. The volunteer service
of automobiles and trucks is request
ed. Grocers have been designated by
the Donald Mccormick, Federal Food
Administration, but it is important
that all pits and shells must be thor
oughly dried in ovens or by the sun
before they are given to grocer or
shipped; but the different kinds OF
pits and shells need not be sepa-
rated.
Community clubs and school chill
dren all over the country are COL
lecting tons of peach stones. apricot
pits, prune pits. plum pits, olive plts'
date seeds, cherry pits. Brazil nut
shells and shells of walnuts, hickory
nuts and butternuts. These are made
into a certain form of carbon tor
gas masks that saves the lives and
health of our boys from the poison
Gus gases of the Germans. Your boy
or your neighbors' boy may be saved
by the pits and shells you save.
The grocers are helping. Bushels
of them have been brought to Reo
Cross Headquarters, in Public Library
basement, but carloads are wanted
So save them and further instruc-
tions will be given.

Sprouts Position Clear
on Prohibition Issue

The Rev. Michael j. FanninS' IN
to-day's Philadelphia North Amerl-
can, has this to say concerning the
attitude of candidates in PennsylVa-
MIA toward prohibition:
"At the meeting of the Democratic
State Committee at Harrisburg OH
September 4. Nationl Committee
man Palmer declared that John SIN
mott, president of the Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association of Penn
sylvania, told him that while Sproul
was not actually dry, he was credited
with being dry on account OF the
speeches he had made before his
nomination, but that he had been
forbidden to repeat his prohibition
declarations and had made no r.
ther allusions to the subject and
would not during the campaign.
This statement involves false
hood. Either Sinnott lied about
Sproul. being silenced, or Palmer
misquoted Sinnott. Let them settle
that between themselves.
ION July Is. nearly two months
after he had won the nomination.
in a letter to DR.. B. E. z. PruSh, OF
Harrisburg, the contents or Wnlcll
were made public by Horace F. DIT
man, Prohibition party candidate for
Congressman-at Large, who is heart
lily supporting Senator Sprouts can
didacy, Sproul reiterated, even IN
stronger terms than those used IN
his primary campaign, his purpose to
use his best endeavors to procure the
ratification of the national prohibi-
tory amendment.
Last week at the opening rally
in Montgomery county, at College
willie, subsequent to the publication
of the alleged interview between Pal
mer and Sinnott, in an address,
Sproul again stated his intentions to
be as helpful as possible in procur-
ing the ratification of the amend
ment and the subsequent legislatlon

THE LEFT

IN GOLF

No sport makes a fetish Of right
handedness as does golf. 1t seems that
in golf ANYBODY not in the dexter diyi-
sion can not hope for better than medi-
ocrity. There have been too many left
side examples of the highest grade of
experiences in other lines of sport for
any particular worship to be attached
to the Highlander in preference to the
southpaw. Baseball has had its Vaughn
Schupp. Waddel. Ruth. Cobb Speaker
and others too numerous to mention to
establish the undoubted equality of the
left-hander in pretty much al depart
ments of usefulness. Only at other in
field positions than first base and back
of the plate would left-handedness be
a bar sinister Boxing has its Tender
billiards has had De Orc and Cure to
prove that left-handers can reach the
top rank; Murray and Wrenn have
