KILLED IN W
ACTION
Was william Pangb6rn on October
9Th, AS Reported BY The
War Department.

The sad words "Killed in Action"
were received by Mr.. and Mrs. c.
g. Pangburn on last Tuesday even
ing in the form of a telegram from
the War Department announcing the
death of their son, William Bolts
Pangburn.
After about four months of wait
ing to hear from their son, the above
message came announcing the tragic
death Of this noble young patriot.
Although only Is years of age and
not subject to the draft, this young
man, feeling deply the call to serve
his country, barred his breast to the
cold steel of the German beasts with
the above result. William Bolts
Pangburn was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Pangburn and was the idol
of the household, being loved by his
sisters as only devoted sisters know
how to love an only brother. For
him no sacrifice was too great for
them to make and only a few
months ago he returned from New
York where he had completed a bus
mess course and had accepted a
position with /. F. Tabb, of this city,
and was progressing nicely in a bus
mess way when the call to serve
made such deep impression upon
the heart of this noble young man
that he enlisted in the U. S. Marines
and made every Effort to get to the
battle front as quickly as possible.
William Pangburn came of fighting
stock, his ancestor, VIM. Pangburn,
gave his life fighting with the Con-
tinental army to free the colonies
from English tyranny, while several
Of his kinsmen fell in the dark days
Of the COS fighting to preserve the
Union.
OF this young man, the only one
from Montgomery county so far as
we know to have been killed in ac-
ion, we canot say too much. A fear
less, patriotic young boy, loved by
all with whom he came in contact,
and possessed with a manner which
was admired by all his boyhood
friends, the passing of William
Pangburn is extremely sad. But the
noble cause to which he gave his
life should prove of much solace to
lis distressed loved ones-for in
what more worthy cause could
man sacrifice his life than in fight
ing to uphold the Right and assist
in forwarding the principles of Free
dom and justice to all peoples.
Besides his mother and father he is
survived by four sisters, Miss
Georgia B. Pangburn, Mrs. L. r.
Douglas and Mrs. j. Courtney Hor-
ton, all of this city, and Miss Nell
Pangburn, a Red Cross Nurse, low
stationed in New Jersey. To them
the hearts of the entire community
go out, and in this sad hour of sor-
row they have the deep and lasting
sympathy of everyone.
"Poss," as he was affectionately
called by his countless friends, has
passed to the Great Beyond, but the

Work Long Hours
IForbes Magazine. ]

The biggest jobs in America are
not 8-hour jobs. Judge Gary, Chair
man of the United States Steel Cor
poration, does not come down to his
office unusually early and leaves, as
a rule, between and o'clock, this
does not mark the beginning and
the end of his working day. Every
now and then you can pass Judge
Gary's home in the early hours OF
the morning and see light, indi-
eating that the head of the great
est industrial enterprise in the world
is hard at work. Not long ago. the
Judge delivered a wonderfully COM
prehensive, well-thought- ably
written address before learned
body, and someone who became in
terested in finding out how long 1t
took to compile so effective a paper
finally learned that Judge Gary got
out of bed at 8 o'clock one morning,
took paper and pencil. and had the
whole thing finished by breakfast.
He gets up at any hour whenever
he feels moved to get through piece
of work which calls for solitude and
deep thinking. On such occasions he
will sometimes work or 8 hours at
a stretch, from / or 2 in the morn
Ing until s or or even 10 o'clock
- and then go through another days

[From the Boston Herald.lf .


AS long ago as when Charles J..
Bonaparte, of Baltimore, was secre-
tary of the navy, the files of his of
flee show that Carl Wheaton, of
Waltham, arrived in Washington to
submit plans for the use of gas in
warfare. He went before both the
army and navy. His proposal to
the army was for the firing of gas
shells, substantially as used in the
late war. His proposal to the navy
involved the use of submarine and
the boring of a hole in the bottom
of a battleship for the injection of
gas.
The army authorities, at that
time, held that it would be impos-
sible to pollute the atmosphere with
enough gas to have any military ef-
feet. The navy authorities con-
tended that it would be like putting
salt on a birds tail to get under a
battleship and inject the gas. So
Wheaton spent some months in
Washington in useless efforts to at
tract attention.
Although he died several years
ago, he lived long enough to see his
idea applied in actual warfare. The
story of his submissions comes to us
from one of the officers of the navy
department who sympathized with
his association at the time in re-
jecting the gas theory.

MIR. MOORE WINS

/" HE nomination of Congressman
]. Hampton Moore as the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor
of Philadelphia is pleasing to a great
majority of "up-State" Republicans.
Mr.. Moore has been a constructive
influence in Congress ever since his
first election many years ago. He is
about a half-century ahead of his
time in the development of inland
waterways and has done a large
amount of arduous but valuable
pioneer work along those lines.
More than that, his nomination
is a promise of better things in
Philadelphia politics, for which the
State-at-large will be duly thankful
If Mr.. Moore, as Mayor of Phila-
delphia, can weld the Republican
forces of that city with those outside,
SO that the everlasting pickering
that has for years marked Philadel-
phia affairs in the State Government
may be eliminated, he will stand out
as one of the biggest men in the
public life of the Commonwealth.
His victory at the primaries, it
would appear, is step in that direc-
ton. e;
Likewise it makes Senator Pen
rose, who was back of the Moore
candidacy, the dominating political
leader in Philadelphia.

THE NEXT MAYOR

| A LDERMAN GEO. A. HOVER
~ TER, whose Slight indisposi
ton following his vigorous
campaign has laid him up for a day
or two, will find when he is able to
get about again that his election IN
November is practically assured.
Having carried the city on the Re-
publican ticket by an overwhelming
majority he comes before the public
as the nominee of that party at
time when Republican candidates
are in high favor here. Mr.. Hover
the primaries has done much to give
him the confidence of many who are
not well acquainted with him per-
sonally. He has left no doubt in
the mind of the public as to where
he stands on any of the questions
that will in all likelihood come be-
fore him and City Council within
the period of his term of office.
His views on the future growth
and development of the city are
precisely what enthusiastic citizens
of Harrisburg would have their
chief executive express. 1t is re-
freshing to find the man who will be
mayor of the city so optimistic as
to the good things the next few
years will bring for the city.
Another point in Mr.. Hoverter's
statement of principles that will ap-
peal to the voter is his,s.ideassofj
economy in government. 'Recog-
nizing that police department hear
ings are not the most agreeable
part of a mayors duties he never
theless proposes to perform them
himself, thereby saving to the tax
payers some six or seven thousand
dollars that can be well utilized in
some other direction.
Mr.. Hoverter has made a very
good impression at the outstart of
his campaign. He is man of good
habits, honest and respected in the
community. The party he repre-
sents is in tremendous majority. He
will go into Office with a vote as
large, if not larger, than any cast
for a mayor of this city and with the
good wishes of thousands of Har-
risburg people for a successful ad-
ministration. His campaign before
the general elections promises to
be little more than a formality. for
| it is not thought that the Demo-
cratic nominee, under the circum-
stances, will have temerity to take
| his candidacy seriously.

Bright ColorS Return
PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger ]

The color card of the United
League of America, a national Or
ganization of manufacturers of wo-
mems waists, is ready for distribu-
ton to the trade throughout the
United States. The new color card
is for spring of 1920 and is the re-
suit of conference between the man
ufacturers of raw materials and
waist manufacturers.
In place of the somber shades
which were in vogue in the spring
of this year, the new color card will
strike a more cheerful note. In
fact it touches the high spots and
promises to re-establish the bright
hues which were in evidence in the
pre-war days. Bright, delicate
shades to indicate victory are repre-
sented in the color card and the
the use of the twelve shades as be-
ing suitable for the wholesale trade
as well as the retail trade of the
country for next spring. The new
colors are follows:
Ivory, flesh, bisque, blue dawn,
league gold, peachblossom, Adri-
attic, apricot, orchid, Bermuda, sill
yer gray and navy.
"The 1920 spring color card" said
Mr.. Mosessohn, of the league, sis
certainly triumph for the commit
tee which labored almost six weeks
in getting 1t out. When the lady of
fashion sees the colors this spring
she will be delighted because of the
bright and cheerful effects produced.
I do not hesitate in predicting that
the women of the country will ex-
press their qualification at the re-
suit"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TU0 Sides to 1t
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In response to your petition for
an extra hour of sunshine which ap-
peared in the Telegraph of Friday,
September 5, l wish to ask you IL
particular question in regard to the
effect this petition will take on the
farmers, as to whether you believe
in your opinion that that daylight
saving law will not injure the in
terests of the farmers. BY reason
of prevailing weather conditions,
such as wet in the mornings, wheth-
er they have any crops that are sub
ject to spoilage.
But what l consider most seriously
is that all the hired men, either
yearly tenants, monthly hands or
day laborers, are not of the same
opinion in obedience or abiding by
their masters command. When IL
comes to the point of working over
time on a farm to produce some
special results highly important in
order to avoid "a lot of unnecessary
work after rain shower or helping
to save a crop in the harvest sea-
son, they are like other workmen.
What the farmer and his hired men
can't do in the dew of the mornine
they must do in the evening. 4
FARMER is supposed to be the main
and sole supporter of the whole
country, and this is one distinctive
point many city people do not
realize. Now, 1 wish to say that,
as far as my reasons are concerned,
l do not believe that all classes of
| sport, such as amusements or base
ball games, are not to be compared
with the farmers interests. So,
much as l would be pleased with the
daylight saving law myself were
to live and conduct my trade in Inc
| city, when it comes to working on
a farm then 1 make it my practice
to follow the country rule. So in
this way it would seem necessary
that there should be two rules
one for the farmer and one for the
city.
So you may add me on the list OF
the city daylight saving law sun
| porters, but l request that you adoD,
separate petition as a rule for the
farmers, under three different
points relating to their necessary
business affairs. 1 remain yours very
| truly.

preservation of the Nation which
they risked their lives to save

THE LEAST OF THEM

"HE Harrisburg Chapter of the

do for the poor and ailing, and
especially the little ones of the Har-

for the poor little waits of de-

Under the direction of Mrs.
william Jennings and Miss Mar
garet Ringland, it is going out into
the by-ways of this and nearby
counties in search of those who
need its services. With loving kind
ness and the tact of trained diplo-
mats these motherly women are
gaining the confidence of the par
ents and the trust of the children
who are to be benefited, and one
by one the suffering boys and girls
are being brought to the great hos
pitals of this and other cities to be
made as nearly whole as the most
advanced medical science finds pos
sible,
The tiny appropriation of 5000
which was given to the Home Service
Department for what many re-
garded as a doubtful experiment
has been expended over and over
again, but still, like the widows
cruise, it is as large as it was when
the work was begun. The Harris
burg chapter is a pioneer in this
kind of work in America. The ma
tional officials are watching it's re-
suits with the purpose of extending
this branch of home service work
to the country as a whole. An i'm
mense good can be accomplished
if the movement is made national.
Countless children, otherwise
doomed to a hopeless life, handi-
capped beyond the possibility of
making for themselves a decent
livelihood, will be saved from the
ranks of dependents and made USE
full citizens of the community. II
is in line with the magnificent ac-
complishments of the Harrisburg
Chapter that this work should be in
augurated and carried to success
under its auspices.

George w. Rhoads, commander of

%. The Grand Army, made up of
men who saved the union, is entitled

is fitting that the Department Com
mander, representing the great or

should ride at the head of the column
of which all the Grand Army men
would be a part had not their ad-
vancing years prevented them from
taking up arms against the Kaiser
and his hosts.
