tion on the methods employed there
to relieve housing congestion.
The trip will be made at the eX-
pense of the committee members,
who will leave the city early We'd
nesday morning, returning the same
evening. j. Horace Mcfarland,
chairman of the committee, will pro-
vide automobile transportation in
Philadelphia, where the members of
the committee will lunch with the
architect who constructed Yorkship
Village at Camden. They will learn
from him the practical details of the
housing developments which solved
the congestion in those places.
The members of the housing COM
mittee feel that by u careful analysis
of the methods used in other cities
where problems similar to those of
Harrisburg existed, the most practi-
cal method for relieving this citys
difficult situation can be ascertained.
The housing committee is actual
ly engaged in a campaign against
the present intolerable housing con-
ditions. Last night the board of di-
rectors which will act as a super
visory body over the activities of the
permanent Homes Service Bureau
now being established here by the
Homes Registration Bureau of the
United States Housing Corporation
acting in cooperation with the
Chamber of Commerce, was an
nounced.
The members of the permanent
committee represent local civic and
public welfare organizations, indus
trial and realty interests, organized
labor. and other bodies. They will
meet Friday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock
to elect a chairman, whose appoint
ment and authorization will then be
received from Washington.

the board of directors:

the Council of Defense and the War

 balls come over the home plate, for pitch
 Ing was my forte in the days I played
 bail at the university and on the back
 lots or Birmingham. I never will forget
 the advice one of the members of the
 professional team gave me in the old
 days. He used to occasionally watch me
 at work and tipped me off as a brother
 pitcher that it was always best to give
 the batter up a good ball on the first throw l tucked away his advise and
 used 1t with success in all my amateur games, but the day came when we played the big nine and when my friend went to bat l remembered gratitude what he had told me and I threw him a hard but straight ball right over the sack, and he hit it square on the nose and as far as ever knew it never quit rolling unti. 1t struck the Gulf of Mexico, for it was never found and all the trouble he had to score was just to walk around the bases.

If you want to know just how many questions yel will have to answer in the course of the day just tie your thumb up. walk with limp, or even wear a pair of smoked glasses as I have had to do for awhile,' said Clarence Lloyd, and you will realize that either curiosity or not to be bear, sympathy will cause people to ask why the goggles" Now I am ashamed to own it but have been suffering, yes that is the right word, with the pink eye complaint very mucf, more painful than one undergoes with an attack of the green-eyed monster of jealousy. I do not mind confessing to having the disease which sometimes at- tacks horses, but I get a bit wearied in having to explain why it attacked me. and so l am saying to even my warm est friends who wish to know more about the symptoms, Ask Dr. Sibley''

THE LATE VERSE OF KIPLING

That grips the purpose of his plan. My lords. how think you of these
 things?
 Once-in our time--is there Man? The place--men who made terrible mistakes in Mesopotamia: Their lives cannot repay us-their
 death could not undo The shame that they have laid upon
 our race; But the slothfulness that wasted and
 the arrogance that slew, Shall we leave it unabated in it's
 place?
 These are the political jobs that move the poet to stirring indignation, these and the trickeries of charlatans that trade< <upon the credulity of the be- reaved in the squalid parlors of spirit ualism:
 Whispers shall comfort us out of the
 dark
 Hands--ah, God.-that We knew! Visions and voices-look and hark! Shall prove that our tale is true, And that those who have passed to
 the further shore
 May be hailed-at a price--on the
 road to En-dor. But they are so deep in their new
 eclipse
 Nothing they say reach, Unless it be uttered by alien lips And framed in strangers speech. The son must send word to the mother
 that bore, Through an hireling's mouth. This the
 rule of En-dor
 Finally, for the suffering. and all the illimitable loss of the last four years, the poet displays the tenderest, deepest sympathy. The widow at the lathes, forging shells to avenge her own sor- to the purposes of state, the childless wife in her desolation-their lonely vigil has rarely been so pitifully en- shrined in verse:
 "Ah who will answer my word?"
 The broken mother prayed. "They have taken away my Lord.
 And I know not where He is laid" The Easter season returns again; and the bitter cry of the bereaved returns also, among the Easter lights and lilies: But I know for whom he fell'-- The steadfast mother smiled. 'Is it well with. the child-is it wella' Ut is well-it is well with the child" The poet who can wiring the human heart with such unaffected pathos as this need never fear to lose his hold upon his fellow countrymen.

MUST PULL FOR THE WARRIOR.

From the Tuscaloosa News.
 In his interesting column from Wash
 ington in The Age-Herald, the always
 enterprising Hugh Roberts has this to
 say as forecast of the situation as
 to the Warrior river transportation
 line:
 Alabama has vital interests at stake.
 As a matter of fact Alabama will be
 freely discussed during the ensuing session. The republicans will continue
 their criticism of the development of
 Muscle Shals, and the commercial ac-
 tivity of the government insofar as it applies to the Warrior river and Mobile
 bay. But the republican antics will be
 nothing. There are vital matters at stake.
 Tn the first place. Alabama will have
 to make certain the fate of the Warrior river enterprise. At present it looks good enough. But underneath the sur face it is not healthy-not healthy be- | cause not definite. No one seems to | know what to do or what should be done. No one knows whether to be op- timistic or skeptical Everybody is hopeful, but not certain of the foun- | dation on which they base this hope Alabama, in the next session, will have to work the Warrior problem out to definite conclusion. Before another 12 months the government will be
 head over heels in the Warrior or will | have abandoned it altogether" Whatever may come about, it is hard l ly conceivable that the Warrior project Will be abandoned. It has been making ! money and has shown up far better | than any of the other@Drojects inaugur- ated by the government, eclipsing even | in it's inherent earning capacity the
 much glorifed Mississippi river barge | line.
 1 With such record and with the sup | port of perhaps the best fighting dele gation in Congress of any southern state, Alabama can feel reasonably 1 secure about the future of her great waterway development
