Campaign Against Airguns
and Slingshots Is Begun

The Harrisburg police department
to-day started a campaign to pre-
vent the usual number of slingshot
and air gun accidents this spring.
Warnings we're issued that the law
will be enforced to the limit to break
up the nuisance.
Parents are largely responsilbel
for the situation, Chief Wetzel said,
for they encourage the children by
giving them air guns before they
realize the damage that may re-
suit. Chief WetZel called attention
to several rulings which prohibit the
discharge of slingshots, air guns oi
other devices that may be dangerous
to person or property, at any place
within the city limit.

tant to the state highway commission
bill intended to clarity and strengthen
1t were to be offered to the senate to.
day by the senate committee on
roads. Of which Senator Dobyns is
chairman. Principal among the
amendments to be proposed to the bill
as It was passed by the House are
the following:
!. All collections for automobile IL
censes, beginning on Jan. /. 1920, will
be devoted to the state highway fund.
The house bill reserves 100000 an
nually from license fees for distribu-
ton among the countries

~ 10 cents on the 500, and increased
by the house to is cents, will be re-
stored to 10 cents by the senate COM
mittee.

ance.

vision for giving each county seat con-
nection with the state highway sys-
tenn not later than April /, 1920, would
insure statewide participation al

the state system. All such roads will
be maintained by the state, and in
many instances the amounts of money
to be expended annually on them, even
before new roads of permanent type
are constructed, will 60 far to offset
