Paris Women Wearing
Socks to Keep Cool

London, July S.-Certain women
who pass for being elegant have
sprung a surprise among the morn
ing -promenaders in the select por-
tons of the Bots de Boulonge, Paris,
by appearing without stockings. They
have replaced the stockings by socks,
which run only al inch or two above
the boots.
With summer weather in spring,
the silk stockings of the "elegantes"
generally had become more diaph-
anous than ever, their transparency
being increased with the intensity
of the heat till it reached such a
point that, as it no longer yelled the
limbs, more audacious persons
argued that stockings might be dis
pensed with altogether.
Diligent students of the fashion
barometer record that skirts have
been shortened by several inches in
the last three years. At Longchamps
! races recently they were seen at
their shortest. A feature of the toll
cites was a sort of wrap which sug-
cites was a sort of wrap which sug-
gested that the wearer had emerged
from her bath. There was also a
robe resembling the roomy panta-
looms of a Zouave soldiers.

Suicide Among Children
Is Growing Alarming

New York, July S.-Suicide in this
country is increasing to an alarm
ing extent, according to the Save-a-
Life League. DR.. Harry M. Warren,
the president. made public yester-
day a collection of curious facts and
statistics gathered by the league,
the most startling of which, perhaps
being tho statement that suicide
among children is growing fast.
Perhaps nothing is more alarm
ing" said DR.. Warren. than the in
crease of suicide among children
! During the past six months, lit
children took their w lives in the
United States, II boys and 104 girls
The youngest boy was 10 years. and
the youngest girl IS. The averags
age was, boys II. girls 10. The favor
lite method among the boy suicide:
was shooting. while girls desiring
to end their lives resorted in large
numbers to the use of poison.
There should be in every State
said DIR. Warren, strictly enforced
laws against the sale of p~oisons ant
firearms, like the Sullivan and the
drug laws of this State. The prin.
cipal causes of suicide among chill,
dren were unpleasant experiences In
school or home. fear, jealousy, pun.
ishment, love affairs and humilia'
ton caused by arrest"

their first conference with Banking
Commissioner John S. Fisher since
approval of the act recognizing the
department and discussed matters
pertaining to their work. The COM
missioner outlined the policy to be
followed and pointed out that under
the new law the department is to be
self-sustaining. The examiners were
guests of the commissioner at lunch
con at the Penn-Harris. In the
course of his remarks to the examin-
ers Commissioner Fisher referred to
the statement made under the recent
call as showing gains in resources.

city and private property owners,

divided between the county and pri-
vate property in second class
townships.
Work Needed
In cas- of permanent construction
work the bill provides that the State
will bear one-third of the cost of
the improvement.
The special report of the proposed
mosquito eradication campaign in
the city was made by w. V. Becker,
chief of that section of the State
Department.
1t is likely that an effort will be
made to have Council take some
action on the report so that meas
ures can be taken to start the cam
paign in the city Don Mr.. Becker
in his report says in part: The
investigation disclosed no conditions
requiring any departure from the
usual methods of mosquito control.
The work would be confined to GER
tain sections and would be COM
paratively small in amount. 1t
would include the draining and fill
ing needed to abate permanently a
number of breeding areas. a mode
rate amount of moving, ditch clean
ing and similar maintenance work,
field and yard inspections and a
limited amount of oilinE."
BAD Points Shown
In reporting conditions found al
various places in the city and vicin-
ity MIR. Becker reports also the best
method of treating these localities.

Class of 1919 Leaves Fund
For Purchase of Medals

The class of 1919 of Central High
School has founded a fund amount
ing to 5000 to be used for the pur-
chase of three medals every year
to be given to the three highest
students taking American History
and Civics. The medals will have a
value of $40 each. and will be given
for a period of ten ear
In case the present high school
is turned into a girls high school,
and another high school is main
tanned for boys only, then two medals
having a valuation of SIS each, will
be offered for the highest student
in each school. If a high school is
founded on the university plan, tho
three medals will be given as origi-
nally intended.
This action was taken last night
by the executive committee of the
Glass of 1919, and copies of the
rules adopted for the presentation
of the medals will be forwarded the
of Central High School and
the secretary of the School Board.

The largest breeding place was found
at Italian Park, he said. Cleaning
and lowering of the drainage pipes
in this section which covers about
fifteen acres. is recommended.
Heavy breeding was found at Hof-
mans Woods, including that or ano-
pheles, mosquitoes which can carry
| malaria germs. Filling of this area
| promptly is urged by Mr.. Becker.
Marsh areas along the park drive
in Wildwood and a marsh east OF
Sixth street at Hoffman's Woods
| also should be treated.
Conditions at Pleasant View are
condemned in the report or
the lack of sanitary sewers, much or
the waste water running into gut
ters in the streets. This together
with other unsanitary conditions is
undoubtedly the course of much OF
the mosquito nuisance existing with
in the city line at this point, it is
! reported.
Effective Work Needed
General recommendations by MIR.
Becker are given and in part he
said: although the season is al
ready we'll advanced 1t is still pos
sible to do effective work il OPP
erations are begun promptly. The
campaign should be opened with a
complete and thorough inspection
of all vacant and open ground with
in the city limits for the purpose of
locating and listing potential breed
ing places and to determine the
character and amount of work lee
essary. Not only existing accumu-
lations of water but all depressions
and other locations where water is
likely to accumulate under more IA
voring conditions should be listed,
All streams and creeks should be
| prosecuted to zeal distractions
pools and marsh areas along the
| banks, etc. In this connection II
should be remembered that slack
water and eddies behind obstruc-
| tons, overhanging grass or weeds,
aquatic growth in the stream itself,
are conditions favorable to mos
| quito breeding eve though the wa
ter is moving with some rapidly.
This is particularly true in the case
of polluted streams.
Inspections Planned
This inspection should include
| the islands lying opposite the city"
A second general inspection should
| follow the first one it is advised, and
! field inspections should be made af-
terward on a weekly schedule.
House-to-house and yard inspection
should be made in districts without
sanitary sewers and in the yards of
all Industrial establishments. Spe-
cial attention should be paid accord
ing to Mr.. Becker to cisterns, cess
pools, pits, roof cutters,
flooded cellars, rain barrels, tubs and
similar receptacles. Stables, green
houses, truck farms, cemeteries,
blacksmith shops and similar places
where water containers are usually
kept should be inspected regularly.
Directions have been included in
the report for oiling and other tenn
porary measures but it is recon-
mended that wherever possible mos
quito breeding places should be abat-
ed permanently by filing or draining
so that the cost of temporary meas
ures may be. decreased.
An estimate of the cost of inspec-
tons and oiling mas been made and
it is believed the work can be done
for $500 a month. Draining, filling,
moving and supplies would cost
about $500. so that the work for
the three summer months would
necessitate IN expenditure of $4,000.

INDIAN NAME
FOR "Y" CAMP
Season Will Open July %;
Smaller Boys May Go
in August

Camp Shikellimy will be the per-
manent name for the Harrisburg Y.
M. c. A. boys camp, according to
the unanimous vote of the members
present at the meeting of the Boys
Work Committee of the association
held last night in the Central Y. M.
e. A. building. The Indian lore will
no doubt play an important part in
this camp name, in honor of the
Christian chief of the Iroquois.
The ~" boys camp for this sea-
| son will be held, according to the
unanimous vote of the committee,
at Big Pond" which is in reality
a small lake, located two miles off
! the Walnut Bottom road from Grey
thorn station on the Philadelphia
and Reading spur from Carlisle
Junction to Shippensburg.
The camp will be easily reached
by automobile. 1t is located only
two miles of the Walnut Bottom
road, and the roads approaching the
camp being in excellent condition.
In all probability the boys going to
camp will take the train to Grey
thorn and walk two miles to the
lake. Tents will be pitched between
the lake shore n the clearing.
which will be reserved for athletic
field purposes.
The camp committee appointed
by j. William Bowman, chairman
of the Boys Work Committee, is
headed by AL. X. Thomas as chair
man. The other members of the
49,. -. al - Il
to make possible a best ever camp
for boys are: George S. Reinoehl,
E. S. Nissley. A. Ramsey S. Black
and Gus NJ. Steinmetz. The commit
tee decided to hold the camp open
for two weeks, beginning July %
and to extend the time one ad-
ditional week in Use there was suf-
ficient demand for it. During the
period, July % to August s, only
boys over twelve years of age may
attend the camp. 1t will be pos
sible for boys as old as eighteen
years to go to camp and a few older
may he taken as squad and TEN
leaders. During the proposed third
week of camp, boys of ten and
eleven years may attend providing
their applications are filed at an
early date. 1t is understood that
inns lHlTu week Will De
only If a sufficient number register
for it without delay.
The committee desires to operate
the camp on an absolute cost basis.
The rate to be charged for campers
who attend camp fourteen days or
longer will be Sc per week. Those
who go for any shorter period will
pay 81 per week. Each boy will pay
his W carfare to camp and re-
turn.
Boys Work Secretary A. H. Dins-
more and Physical Director C. w.
Miller will be assisted by a number
of adult and older boys as leaders
in the administration of the camp.
Mr.. Dinsmore has requested that it
be made clear that while this camp
is conducted primarily for boy mem
bers of the Y. NJ. c. A, that other
boys of the city may apply for en-
trance to the camp, as Y. M. C. A.
is not necessary for ad-
Boys who are not members
will be charged the same camp fee
as the "Y" boys and parents are in
to call upon MI. Dinsmore for
any information which they may de-
sire regarding the camp.
