GLOBE PICNIC
HBIG SUCCESS
Wounded Soldiers Are Enter
tanned by Ben Strouse at
Hershey Park

The picnic which The Globe Cloth
ing Store gave it's employees at
Hershey, yesterday, was a tremen-
dous success from every viewpoint,
and the twenty-five wounded SOL
diers who were the guests of Ben
Strouse went back to Carlisle after
having had the time of their lives.
AS soon as the crowd reached
Hershey, where they were taken in
big trucks, luncheon was served and
everybody entered into an eating
contest. Those who were able to
move after this got into the married
men-single men baseball game,
which ended with the married men
two runs to the good. The more
musically inclined got together an
improvised orchestra and had q
dance in the pavilion.
In order that the Carlisle men
could get an early start homeward,
supper was served rather early. Later
the games and stunts were put on,
and included everything in the line
of funny stuff that could be thought
of; the cake baking contest was also
decided then. Miss Mabel Givler
got the silk stockings offered as a
prize for the most delectable con-
coction and those who had an oppor-
tunlty of getting outside of it say it
couldn't be equaled.
The picnic is an annual affair and
this years decidedly dwarfs any of
the previous parties.

Something Hits Watches
of Allison Hill Men

Something happened last night -
Allison Hill watches. Whether 1t
was the weather or magnetism in
the atmosphere is a question. Nine
passengers on a Reservoir Park car
this morning found their watches
from ten to fifteen minutes behind
time. These nine persons were all
late in getting to work.
shortly after four men boarded
the car at Nineteenth and Market
streets a whistle blew. There is
the $50 whistle" said one man.
Nou are wrong" said the conduC-
tor, pulling out his watch. 1T is
just ten minutes of T."
Out came every watch in the car.
You can't be right" said one pas
senger. "Oh, yes | am" spoke up
the conductor. and the motorman
corroborated his statement. IF you~
time is right, then l am slow" Il
businessman remarked. Then came
a comparison of time by nine
watches. Every watch was behind
that of the conductor and motor
man.

MOSQUITO PEST
AWAITS ACTION
OF CITY COUNCIL
State Health Department Is
Ready to Cooperate
With Harrisburg

According to Charles A. Emerson,
Jr., chief engineer of the Sanitary
Division of the State Health Depart
ment, the State is only waiting for
the cooperation of the City Council
before proceeding to exterminate the
mosquito in this city.
Mr.. Emerson had one of his chief
assistants from Philadelphia make
thorough investigation of potential
breeding places for mosquitoes
throughout Harrisburg and this re-
port was submitted by DR.. J. NJ. J.
Raunick. city health officer, to the
CITY Council for approval and ac-
tlon. The Council has so far failed
to make any provision to take care
of this work, however, and the State
Is ready to assist in every way pos
slble as soon as some action is taken.
The chief places of mosquito
breeding in town are Wildwood
Park, Pleasantview, near the Arsenal
IN Eighteenth street, and Italian
Park. The latter place especially
is very troublesome, as the outlet
to the lake is blocked by three cul-
verts, every one of which is quite a
bit higher than the surface of the
lake itself, so that although they
were originally planned to drain the
swamp, now they serve only as a
dam. According to Mr.. Emerson,
these culverts could be lowered at
a cost of slightly over 500, and as
the streets under which the are
built are as yet unpaved, there would
be no difficulty in the operation at
all.
Hoffman's Woods is another part
of town which includes about half
an acre of very foul swamp. The
treatment in this case would be to
divert the route of the ash wagons
northward to the woods, and the
swamp could be filled up in no time
and the mosquito nuisance in that
quarter permanently removed
In the main part of the city, how
ever, the trouble results from the
drain troughs, which are harboring
swarms of the pests. Contrary to
common thought, the drains are not
completely flushed with each heavy
ram, but an eddy remains which is
entirely untouched by the rush of
water. Mr.. Emerson's plan for these
places is to have two men, with a
light truck, go about the city every
ten days and thoroughly spray the
drains with a light oil which the
State uses in like cases. This could
be done at very slight expense to
the city, and would prove an effec-
tive means of keeping down the mos
quitoes.
The State will cooperate in this
to the extent of furnishing an in
spector and assistant inspector for
the work, and are extremely eager
that it be carried on. The City Coun-
Gil is expected to take action on this
matter very shortly.

STREET CHANGES
in UPPER END
ARE CONSIDERED
Council to Act as Quickly as
All Data Is at
Hand

Proposed street changes to be
provided with the deciding of the
Italian Park site to the city as a
free gift are being considered now
by City Engineer NJ. B. Cowden and
E. Clark Cowden, engineer for the
Planning Commission.
AS soon as the cost of the street
changes is estimated together with
the expense which would be involved
for the treatment of the park and
providing lake or pool, the en-
gineers will submit a joint report
to the Planning Commission.
1t is expected that by that time
the executors of the McKee-Gra-
ham estate will have submitted to
the Planning Commission also a
written statement of their offer and
the requirements which they desire
the city to comply with in order to
receive the park tract as a gift.
New Street Lines
These points were agreed upon at
joint meeting of the executors and
the Planning Commission members,
together with the engineers and city
councllmen. 1t was decided at that
session that the city should agree to
improve the park in three years and
provide the pool if possible, and Law
out Green, Third and Sixth streets,
along the lines originally designed
by the Planning Commission.
Members of City Council have said
they favor making Green street l2O
feet wide from Schuylkill to the
northern city limits; and Sixth and
Third streets, 60 feet wide to the
northern city limits. 1t is UNDER
stood they approve the lines of these
streets as changed by the engineers.
CITY Engineer Cowden said he
is preparing now plan of the
streets, which will be completed
soon. He explained that it NAV be
necessary to do some surveying be-
tore the lines can be determined
definitely but this should not delay
the actual sale of the Hoffman s
Woods site to the school district.
CITY Councilmen said they will act
as soon as they receive an official
statement of the park and street
situation through the Planning Com
mission, as this plan of procedure
was approved at the joint meeting
recently. The councilmanic COM
mlttee will make its report at the
same time. The members include
Mayor keister and Commissioners e,
