boys in camp. The school has been
success far beyond expectations
and the splendid audiences from
day to day. increasing as the week
progressed, were "A very deserving
tribute to one of the most capable
and most earnest and hardworking
domestic science experts that has
ever visited Harrisburg. Mrs. Vaughn
has won the hearts of the women of
this city as few public speakers and
demonstrators have ever done, and
it is to be regretted that her stay in
the community is limited to one
week.
That the school has been a help to
the community and help as we'll to
with which Mrs. Vaughn is cooper
ating, was the general opinion eX-
pressed this afternoon. She has taken
advantage of the opportunity to
point out to the women of Harris
burg that by supporting the food ad-
miniStration they have their big
chance to help in winning the war.

winner of the kitchen cabinet pre-
sented by the Rothert Furniture

Offering their congratulations. II
certainly do appreciate the gift. and
thank you for it, said Mrs. Creigh-
ton as she came to the stage to thank
Mrs. Vaughn. Don't thank me.
Thank Rothert's and the Telegraph"
the cooking expert replied.
The last hour of the demonstra-
ton was a resume of the advice Mrs.
the past week. She urged that the
women economize drastically in the
use of butter, saying that it was a
vital need of the soldiers. She gave
a number of new receipts in her clos
ing remarks.
Mrs. Vaughn took occasion to
thank the Harrisburg Gas Company,
Rothert & Co, Bowman q Co, and
others who extended cooperation in
connection with lending equipment
for the school. The Hoosier kitchen
cabinet used during the week was
furnished by Rothert & Co., with the
understanding that it was to be pre-
scnted to one of the hundreds of
women attending the lectures.
Many Harrisburg women reluctant

Chicago, Jan. 19-The mystery surrounding the identity of the 16- year-old girl arrested yesterday upon her arrival here from Ohio, carrying a satchel containing 36 sticks of dyna- mite, was cleared tonight. Federal authorities state she is Josie Lande, and that she is from Youngstown, Ohio.
 The girl, who defied secret service operatives for 36 hours by giving false names and addresses, is being closely guarded. 1t was intimated that search is being made for secret code used by German propagandists.
 The girl told authorities tonight that she was born in northern Italy, and came to America with her father four years ago. landing at New Or leans. After working in Wiseville and Mounds, La., she went to Youngs- town. according to her story.
 The dynamite, she declared. was given her by a friend in Youngstown to be delivered to some one in Chi cago. She refused to disclose the name of the man who gave her the explosive or to whom it was to be de- livered. A slip of paper bearing a Chicago address, which she tried to swallow when arrested, has proved worthless, for the address is vacant lot.

MINERS RATlFY
 WAGE AGREEMENT AFTER HOT DEBATE
Action Important in Avoid ing Chaos in Present
 Fuel Crisis.

Gzz4...-
(Ry Associa ted PreSs.)

Indianapolis, Jan. 19.-After two days of stirring dehate, tine United Mine Workers of America, in bien- nial convention late today, by over whelming vote, ratified the Washing ton agreement of October 6, which grants substantial wage advances to bituminous coal miners and provides penalties for violation Of contracts. The agreement became effective Nov ember 1, and remains in force until April l, 1920, unless the war ends before that date. Ratification was of great importance ia the present war crisis, for the reason that had it failed, it might have resulted in chaos in the mining industry at a time when every nerve is being strained to relieve the fuel famine. The fight against the agreement was based on the automatic penalty clause inserted by the joint confer ence of operators and miners at ington and appdoved by Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield It fines men who violate contracts by going out on unauthorized strikes, and Pro- vides for their automatic collection by the operators. Mine owners fail ing to enforce the clause are also penaliZed.
