HENRY ANDSAM
PALSONCE MORE
Former Partners Of Triple
A Boxing Club Bury
the Hatchet. Il.

Baltimore. June 6.-From Henry's
place, on East Baltimore street,
where the American Athletic As
ISOLATION hangs its hat. came the
message: ct wasn't in the form of
a letter. 1t could hardly be called
a verbal announcement. 1t was Just
whispered about that Henry Blet-
ger was thinking along this nne):
Come home, Sammy. You are
needed. All will be forgiven and
forgotten. They tell me your gray
ing locks are thinning rapidly"
From various sources Sammy
Harris. former partner of Henry
Bletzer. in the American Athletic
Association, and for the last six
months big noise in the Pickwick
Athletic Club. heard what Bletzer
had running through his dome. 1t
wasn't a new idea to Sammy. He
had been thinking the same thing
himself. By the same channels
word was carried back and forth
that Sam was pining for Hen, and
Hen was pining for Sam. There
could be but one result.
Divorced. from a ring-promoting
standpoint, they decided to kiss md
make up. Barring two or three oc-
casions. the Pickwick Club had been
good to Sammy. but an old love is
an old love. and the usurper was
banished to the shelf.
The American Athletic Association
turns a new page In its history to-
day, with Sammy Harris as business
manager and Henry Bletzer as man
ager of boxers, etc. Running single
handed. Henry and Sammy were
good, and gave the fans some great
exhibitions. As a team. they are bet
ter, and the public should have no
reason for regret that Harris and
Bletzer are again eating out of the
same dish, etc.
To run the business end Of the
sport Sammy has installed himself in
an office at 622 Munsey Building. He
will arrange all matches from there.
and boxers wishing to get on before
the Triple A should address mail ac-
cordingly.
The American Athletic Association
will have the use of Oriole Park for
all Saturdays while the Birds are
away from home. Bletzer has under
his management George Clancy.

Collapse of Bulgars
Due to Concentration
of Yankeesc in Drives

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The impend-
ing collapse of Bulgaria, General
March said to-day. lis a direct result
of the concentration of the Ameri-
can forces on the Western front.
Hitherto, General March explained
whenever a section of the central
empires was menaced Germany was
able to withdraw divisions from the
west front to bolster up the threat
ened point. That day now is past"
he added, "as a result of the concen-
tration of the entire American Army
on the western front. This has fore
ed the German general staff to keep
intact their whole strength in
France"
In the new Franco-American drive,
the American forces west of Verdun
have passed beyond the Hindenburg
line and are facing the new Kriem-
HELD line. General March was unable
to identify positively American units
which participated in this acton. He
said the attack was characterized by
the same sharpness and rapidity
which had heretofore marked the
American operations. On the first
day Pershings men advanced from
five to six miles.
Official dispatches to date show
capture by the Americans in this sec
tor of 5000 prisoners, while the
French to the west of them have
taken more than 1000.

EASY METHOD TO
PURCHASE BONDS
Steelton People May Pay 81
Down and 81 Weekly Until
the Full Price Is Paid

The three aerial Liberty Loan
propagandists yesterday materially
stimulated interest in the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign. The huge
siren at the local plant of the Beth
lehem Steel Company greeted the
airmen. Quantities of Liberty Bond
literature were dropped by one of
the aviators who flew over Steelton.
Liberty Loan posters literally cover
ed the town.
A house-to-house canvass by the
women of the Steelton Red Cross
will begin on Tuesday morning to
arouse interest among the borough S
housewives in the drive. The COM
mittee led by Miss Anna McCurdy,
will offer the bonds on a weekly pay
ment plan. The Peoples Bank and
the Steelton National Bank will cell
the bonds >on this plan.
1t provides for a payment of two
dollars down on each fifty-dollar
bond with the remainder to be paid
in weekly instalments of 81.
But the real drive will open on
Monday evening when a mass meet
ing will be held in the High school
building. DR.. Robert Bagnell, of the
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
will give Il talk on his experiences
while in France. The Steelton Bard
will play during the meeting. The
program includes other interesting
features.

Sealers of Weights and
Measures Draw Up Big
Legislative Program

Three outstanding resolutions
passed by the Pennsylvania Associa-
ton of Inspectors of Weights and
Measures at their annual convention
which came to a close in this city
yesterday will be shaped into APP
propriate and legally drafted rec
concentrations by the legislat;N e
committee OF the association who
will submit them to the state Legis-
lature when the latter convenes early
in January. All of them are in the
form of amendments to present laws
which are deemed ineffective by the
association.
Chief of these resolutions which
will reach the Legislature is that
making it mandatory upon mer-
chants to sell dry commodities by
weight instead of by weight, meas
ure and count as now obtains. The
second is that looking towards a
standard weight per bushel in this
state that will make it uniform with
the bushel weight obtaining in ad-
joining states which do extensive
business with Pennsylvania. The
third resolution seeking legal, enact
ment is chat making it mandatory
upon county commissioners and
mayors of cities to pay the eX-
penses of delegates chosen to rep
resent the association at conventions
which heretofore have been infor-
mally met by the different county
commissioners.
An important resolution passed by
the late convention which will find
no place in contemplated legislation
is that asking the cooperation of
state merchants in enforcing the
weight and measure law. The added
support of the state press is also
asked in this respect.
Resolutions on the death of John
Virdin who was supervisor of
weights and measures for Philadel-
phia county up to the time of his
death last May and similar resolu-
tions apropos the demise of DR..
Henry Houck, secretary of the De-
partment of Internal Affairs for the
state who died in March, 1917, were
also passed

FOOD PRICES TO
BE GOVERNED BY
NATION Is PLAN
Limit on Profits Urged as
Only Means of Combating
High Cost of Living

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Price con-
troll of the everyday necessities OF
life by governmental Limitation of
profits is urged as the only method
in sight of combating the ever-in-
creasing cost of living in an official
resolution of the war labor policies
board adopted yesterday
Felix Frankfurter, chairman of the
board. which is an official agency OF
the department of labor, in making
public the important action, explain
ed that he md his associates realize
the inherent difficulties presented by
the question, but added with en-
phasis that like other great war
problems 1t must be tackled and
solved.
The resolution calls upon the war
industries board, the food admins
tration, the department of agricul-
ture and the fuel administration to
proceed as rapidly as possible with
the formulation and enforcement of
plans for the increase in production
of the necessities OF life, for the
stabtlization OF their prices. and of
the equitable limitation of profits.
1t is regarded as the first step in a
determined plan to limit to reason
aole prices the articles of personal
and household use necessary to the
decent existence of the average
American citizen. The public an
nouncement of the resolution and
Chairman Frankfurters accompany
ing statement at this time is de-
signed to sound a general warming
that the government proposes to call
a halt to further advances in the
prices the consumer has In nav for
needed articles.
Mr.. Frankfurter pointed out that
labor is especially concerned in the
maintenance of a fair level of prices.
The subject, he said, therefore, ma
turally forced itself upon the atten-
ton of the war labor policies board
representing as it does the industrial
agencies of the country.
No one is criticised for past failure
10 act but it is made plain that the
time for heroic measures has arrived.
