pigeons are sometimes able to get
messages through when all other
neans of communication have fail
ed. The Army did not have a great
quantity of signaling equipment
when it went to war with Germany,
but what it did have was good.
The American punitive expedition
in Mexico, where long lines of COM
munication over rugged country
were required. had given opportun-
ity for testing modern signal ap-
paratus in the field. In addition to
the various means of communica-
ton, the Signal Corps were also
called upon to supply in large guam
titles such other articles as wire
reel carts, flag staffs, field glasses.
Photographic equipment, chests,
tools, meteorological apparatus and
wrist watches. Having learned
what was needed; knowing what
part of the old was fit, and over
coming nearly insuperable diff
culties in producing the necessary
quality and quantity of all material,
the Signal Corps made possible that
great contributor to victory, Liai-
son. which helped so much to beat
Germany.

Unique Experience
[From Leslie'sl

Cities at least have the stimulus
to make improvement whether they
do so or not. The village and rural
community lack the stimulation
that comes through contact with the
outside world. 1t is not surpri 7lng
to find them narrow and unpro-
gress.ve. A unique experiment
along the line of community bettei-
ment has been in progress for two
years in twenty-three small West
Virginia communities.
A system of points is used to
score community progress, 1000 be-
ing a perfect score. Nine general
headings are used to cover the field
of community development-history,
government, business, farms, clubs,
homes, schools, churches and
health.
AS an example of the way It
works, the absence of gaudy and
ugly advertising signs scored two
points; increased use of school
building for regular school woI k
and as a social center, four points,
and one point each for better house.
keeping as the results of activi-
ties of the farm women's clubs, IN
stallation of bathrooms, and run
ming water in kitchens, and extcn-
sion and Improvement in the rural
telephone system.
The experiment has produced no
Utopia, but has raised standards III
the communities involved.

1t has always been supposed that
women do not need to be told
things in order to know them. 1t is
quite true.
Yet they ask questions.
A boy was carrying a crate of
eggs. Unfortunately his foot slipped
While he was trying to collect few
that were uncracked someone pass
ed him and said, very kindly, "Oh,
poor boy! Have you broken your
eggs?"
The boy answered, "Oh, no. I'm
giving an example of my new open
air cookery. I'm making an omel-
ette."
The questioner was, of course, a
woman. She cannot have been over
80, and must have had a low, sweet
voice and, notably, dark soft eyes
with long eyelashes

don't believe in the boys answer.
He must have said something quite
different.
Unless, of course, he was really
an open air cook and wished to at
tract attention to his autumn classes
" NC iiSid III puDllC-"nlCn seems
improbable.
Still, if he didn't give that answer
he should have done so.
When a wife, seeing her husband
putting on his hat, asks, Are you
going out, dear?" he should reply.
"Oh, no! I'm staying at home. I
only thought I'd like to have my
hat on.'
If he says this apologetically she
will not have asked where he is GO
ing before he bangs the door. But
she knows where he Is going, any
how, even if she thinks she doesn't.
Perhaps we ask questions only
when we already know the answer.
Except, of course, in really i'm
portant things. And then our an
swers are sometimes curious.
Ask for the address of the won
derful tiny, little dressmaker who
runs up" jumpers and skirts and
you will be told: "Oh, she's so
frightful busy! She hasn't a min
ute"
The answer to Where did you
get that hat" is "Oh, I've had 1t
for ages!"

Why Not Allen? Oregon Asks

The community owes a vote of
thanks to Admiral J. William Bow

the coal fleet proprietors, the War
Camp Community Service and all
others who had a part.
An especially pleasing and greatly
appreciated part of the program
was that of the jubilee singers. An
other was the wonderful fireworks
display, to which the contribution
of Col. James B. Kemper, of the
Harrisburg Recruiting office, added
so much.
But there is no reason for particu-
larizing. The whole affair was both
entertaining and spectacular. The
Susquehanna River basin came into
it's own and the Kipona celebration
henceforth will be a regular feature
of Labor Day in Harrisburg. The
time is coming when it will rank
with the Mapdi Gras of New Orleans

GOVERNORS ACTIVITIES

~ ONERNOR SPROUL will return
to Harrisburg this week and
it is expected that some mat
ters which have been held in abey-
ance during his western trip will be
acted on. While absent from Capt.
tol Hill the Governor has been busy
on State matters constantly. His
conference with other executives at
Salt Lake City were most helpful
and it is no secret that he was re-
garded in that interesting conference
as the most practical leader present.
His speeches were characterized by
great good sense and his views on
the matters and things now engag-
ing public attention were given
close attention.
Pennsylvania is happy in the
thought that there is now on Capt.
tol Hill a man of vision and con-
structive purpose who is developing
big welfare policies and aiding in the
formation of plans which will mean
greater prosperity for all the people
and the placing of. Pennsylvania in
it's proper place as an imperial Com
monwealth.
Governor Sproul is back of Com
missioner of Highways Sadler in the
great road-building crusade, and be
cause the people have faith in him
and his administration the various
municipal units, from township to
city and county, are cooperating in
the development of a system of high
ways which will open Pennsylvania
to thousands of tourists during the
next year or two. Already there are
signs of a friendly invasion of the
State such as was never contem-
plated in the dreams of the most
enthusiastic good-roads advocates.
Here at home the Governor is Civ
ing much thought to the Capitol
Park improvement plans and before
the month is ended it is expected
that two or three of the most i'm
portant features of that great plan
will be on the way to final accom-
plisnment. Harrisburg is keeping
in close touch with the various steps
of the State officials and the CO.
operation of the city and State will
certainly result in harmonious and
comprehensive treatment creditable
alike to Pennsylvania and the ad-
ministratlon.
In short, the Governor and those
associated with him on Capitol Hill
are up and doing and there is gen.
eral satisfaction among the people
with the constructive policies which
have been outlined from time to
time.

Why Explore the Artic?

When I was exchanging my fur
clothes at Nome, Alaska, in 1912, for
suit of the well-advertised Ameri-
can kind, the clerk who sold them
to me said that he could not under
stand how I could waste five years
of my life in the Arctic. That is
one point of view and a, common
one. This young man had spent
the same five years behind q cloth
ing store counter. Colonel Roosevelt
had spent them in African travel, IN
the writing of books and in the
making of history. He said to me
month or two later that he en-
We'd me my five years in furs and
snow houses, in new lands and
among new people.
That was another point of view.
And n third was mine, for in turn
envied him his power and achieve
ments and the character which had
made them possible. But while
concede that accident plays so large
part in determining the momen-
tous or trivial nature of geographic
discovery that the greatest geo
graphic discoverers must for that
reason be ranked lower than the
great men in other fields, still there
is much to be said for exploration
as career, so long at least as there
remains possible discovery of lands
previously undreamed of. The tour
ist who crosses the Atlantic for the
first time will spend hours on deck
awaiting the predicted rising of Ire
land above the rim of the sea, and
feels then, unless he is neither
young nor imaginative, thrill
which he does not forget the rest Of
his life.
Yet Ireland to the tourist OF
America to the immigrant can never
be what San Salvador was to CO.
lumbus, and. though you may not
for the thrill of San Salvador be
willing to change places with Co
lumbus, you may we'll envy us who
are still alive our first sight of tho
new land and our first landing upon
1t. While you may think what you
VIII about the greatness of the
achievement, the performance Of it
cannot be denied. The next genera
ton and the next will find that land
upon their maps and, if they care to
visit, they will find 1t there bound
ed by its ice-covered sea. II it is
not an important, 1t is at least d
tangible contribution to the worlds
knowledge of itself.-V. Stefansson

TUESDAY EVENING,

standard railroad of America"
Passing through Harrisburg, on
express trains run on fast time, the
trains that go around Lancaster and
race into Harrisburg from Philadel-
phia by night in something like two
and a half hours, there have been
used wooden passenger coaches,
some lighted by oil lamps, some
with doors that banged as the old
arks swayed and jumped when they
battered over switches; cars that
had no separate toilet facilities for
men and women, such as law in
Pennsylvania requires of every fac
tory; cars that would not have been
used on a one-train-a-day branch
railroad in a rural county of the
Keystone State in the days before
the war.
And the worst part of it is that
soldiers and sailors who fought in
Europe come home to travel in such
conveyances. If soldiers, Injured to
taking things as they come, find
such cars cause for complaint, what
must be the feelings of women and
children riding in an old, wooden,
oil-lighted car grinding along on
fast express train beside two steel
cars of modern make and shaking
from stem to ster1 very time 1t
passed over a switch?
It's high time that train manage
ment and operation in Pennsylvania
is put back to the Pennsylvania
standard.
