M'CLAIV IS NOT
SEEKING OFFICE
Understood He Will Keep on
Supervising State De-
fenSe Activities

Lieutenant Governor Frank B.
McClain prefers to be at the service
of Governor-e elect William C. Sproul,
his friend for many years, whenever
he feels like calling upon him rather
than to be the head of a department
of the state government. This was
learned here to-day when the Lieu
tenant Governor was asked about tn
reports that he was in line for Sec
retary of Agriculture. Incidentally,
1t was learned from other sources
that Mr.. McClain will continue to
supervise such activities of the State
Council of National Defense which
may arise in the period of readjust-
ment. He has been the wheelhorse
of that commission and has handled
the finances of the Council of Ma
tional Defense.
Mr.. McClain smilingly refused to
discuss any reports that he had been
offered the secretaryship of agricul-
;ture or any other office. You had
better see the new Governor" was
lhis answer to a number of ques-
tons put at him.
You are being talked of for sec
retary," was insisted. How about
it?"
Now, my friend, let me say this
in answer to your question: / have
never been an applicant for appoint
ment as secretary of agriculture or
for that matter for appointment as
head of any department of the state
government. L feel that by rea-
eson. of my long friendship with the
Fhewi Governor that could POSSIBILITY
be of more service to him in my ca
pacity as a private citizen any time
he might feel free to call upon me
for anything on which 1 might have
special knowledge ]. am, in entire
accord with the purposes and policy
of the new administration and if the
iovernor wants me in an advisory
capacity any time L shall be ready"
Mr.. McClain as the direct repre-
sentative of the State Defense Com
mission at the offices of the State
Council of National Defense
has been assiduous in his at
tention to it's affairs for the last
nineteen months and it is understood
that at request of friends he will re-
tain that connection until the affairs
of the council are closed up, work
which is suitable to his tastes and
which he desires to continue.

ing into the room where Honora
was seated. From the way you
cleared out anybody would think
that you were jealous or wanted to
leave us alone"
"Ah?" The rejoinder was nom
commlttal, but the listener was not
snubbed.
do you know what I've been
noticing, onora? l really believe
that Arthur caresmore for me than
ever. In which case," with a light
laugh, Il may decide to care about
him myself"
I'm which case" the sister said
sternly, you have no right to en-
courage him unless you mean to ac-
cept him."
Mildred smiled. "Oh, by the way"
she observed lightly Tom Chand-

were unable to convey it's attempted
conveyance would be a nullity.
THE second proposition as to
whether or not a. building can be
erected by the joint action of the
city and counyt presents. greater
difficulties. The act controlling this
matter is the act of,April 18th, 1918,
which authorizes the erection of a
ioint county and municipal building.
This act under it's terms would re-
quire that certain definite portion
of the tract be owned in fee by the
city and the other by the county,
and that the lands and the build
ings thereon erected be ,held in sew
crafty, and, not as tenants in COM
mon. In this last mentioned case,
(referring to a Supreme Court de-
cision) it was intended that certain
entire floors should be used by the
city and certain other floors by the
county, so that the portions of the
building to be used by each of the
municipalities would not be entire
ly on the land owned by 1t in sew
crafty, but would overlap the land
of the. other, and for that purpose
the erection of the building was en-
Joined. This is condition which
would create many practical diff
culties in the construction, main
tenance and use of the building, and
we would suggest than an effort be
made to secure legislation authoriZ-
ing cities and counties in such cases
as ours by agreement to acquire title
to land as joint tenants rather than
as owners of contiguous lots and to
erect municipal building under
agreement for. the proportionate
payment of the cost of construction,
and operation, with the
privilege to provide in the agree
ment for the modification of the
parts of the cost from
time to time as one or the other in
fact uses hte greater or lesser part
of the building, to be apportioned
upon the floor space occupied, or
otherwise to be equitably determin-
ed. In the light of what has hap
pened In the last fifty years and the
of the city 1t might be sug-
Rested that within the next fifty
years the city would require a larg-
er portion of the premises than 1t
would occupy at the beginning, or
for some unforeseen reason the re-
verse might happen.
There is manifestly SO great o
benefit in common ownership and
construction of building for city
and county purposes, that we would
al dvise that while there are present
difficulties in the way. they are not
insurm ountable, and that every eff
fort be made to overcome them.

NEED LEGISLATION
FOR JOINT BUILDING

but Solicitor Fox assured the off,
Gals the legislation will be pre-
pared soon.
During the discussion of the opin-
ion the question of whether the
courthouse site would be considered
for the new structure was raised. "A
number of the officials said that they
preferred. the present location to
any other, but would decide that
matter after the legal arrangements
were completed.

officials present, some of whom said
taxpayers do not realize the danger
Gus conditions which exist.
During the conference the plan
OF. the municipal building at Buffalo
was discussed. In this structure
the finance department of the city
and county, visited the most by the
public, are on the first floor, execu-
tive offices on the second, and so on
throughout the building.
When asked whether the city's
finances would permit the planning
of such an extensive improvement
City Solicitor Fox said Harrisburg
can borrow much larger sums of
money before reaching the capacity
mark, and that the present loans
which have been fioated have hard
ly scratched the surface"
City Pays Big Rent
After the session Mayor Keister
called attention to the situation at
the police department, mentioning
that January /, 1918, the rent was
$11O a month; April l, raised TO
S14O, and next year will be S166 a
month. He said he does not criti-
else the present owner. He under
stands the situation which confronts
the purchaser of the building but at
the same time the police headquar-
are far Q small, but the department
has no other place to go. >
Harris Deed Reviewed
The first question raised by the
solicitors is whether title can be
obtained for a part of the court
house site, or an interest in it, by
the city.

first question involves the construc-
ton of the deed of John Harris and

HORSE HIDES IN USE
 FOR SOLDIERS GLOVES

FL PASO, Tex.-Horse-hide is in such great demand for making gloves for soldiers overseas, all available horses in the army camps here are bought by hide dealers. The i'm porters of hides from Mexico are also buying quantities of horsehides for the same use. A local hide buyer said the horse hide was the only substitute for pig skin. which IS too scarce to supply even small part of the army glove demand. The reason the horse hide is the best for gloves, next to pig skin, is because water does not stiffen this leather and a good rubbing after the gloves made from horsehide have been wet makes them as soft and pliable as when first issued.
