Since 1900 disasters of peace have
cost many thousands of lives and
have brought personal injury or prop
erty loss to 100000 persons, destroy
ing property valued at $1,O00,OO0,00O.
During 1917 eighty disasters were re-
ported to the American Red Cross,
62 tornadoes, floods, great fires.
two earthquakes, two serious mine
disasters, two munition plant explo-
sions and the tragic calamity which
befell Halifax.
Under the direction Of the Red
munities will be modified for instant
use when needed. Chapters every
where will create committees to make
surveys, locating emergency food sup
plies, drugs, hospital supplies, cots,
mattresses, blankets, clothing, arm0r-
ies, schools and other buildings for
housing refugees and will canvass ply
sicians, nurses, social workers and
others prepared to respond instantly
to calls for their services in disasters.
National Resources Available.
The thirteen divisional OrganiZa-
tions will establish disaster relief sup
ply centers and take charge of opera
tions when assistance is needed. In
cases of major disasters where the
resources of the division in which it
occurs are overtaxed, the entire
strength of the Red Cross in the coun-
try may be modified through national
headquarters.
Fifty base hospitals organized by
the American Red Cross and turned
over to the government for use with
the military forces will be ready for
immediate service.

When buying milk did you ever
stop to think that new milk, as it is:
drawn from the cow very quickly alb
serbs any odOr with which it comes;
in contact? And do you know if the
milk you buy cones from dark,
poorly ventilated barn where cows
and horses stand side by side as they
do in some, of the Washburn dairys,
aid the dust and odors from the
horses contaminate the milk, or is
the milk you buy produced in a we'll
lighted and ventilated barn? You
know that sunshine is a great germ
killer. There. are 81 square feet of
glass for each cow at Hammonds and
the ventilating system is as nearly
perfect as possible. And no other
stock iskept in the cow barn. Do
you know if the bottles your milk is
delivered in have been sterilized or
just rinsed in warm water as some
Washburn Dairy men do. The
bottles, pals, cans and all milk
utensils are steriIized with steam at
high pressure at Hanomonds There
may be difference in the price but
do you not think that there is a
greater difference i'm the quality!

When Wilbert Robinson, desperate
ly in need of a seasoned first baseman,
plucked Honey from off the soapy
chutes that led to the minors, there
were many who feared Wilbert had
made a mistake, that Honey never
would come through and that 1t would
be many a day before Brooklyn would
unearth a first baseman who could ap-
proach the veteran Daubert.
Ask any fan today, however, what
he thinks of Honey and undoubtedly
he would tell you that the big Pole
had filed Daubert's shoes more ELL
clently; that, in fact, he would prefer
to have Honey On the Dodgers instead
of Daubert, because Honey still is at

@. Benjamin Gipple to
Be Made City Forester

City Commissioner E. u. Gross
announced to-day he will recon-
mend the appointment of o. Benja-
min Gipple, as city forester, in the
near future. Mr.. Gipple held that
position the first year that Mr.. Gross
was commissioner of parks and pub
lie property. lie left the depart
ment at the close of the year and
after an absence of one year enter
ed the army service and was sent
overseas with q forestry division.
Mr.. Gross said that as Mr.. Clip
pie has returned to the city, and is
acquainted with the tree situation
and similar planting activities in
Harrisburg, he will ask his reap
pointment. During Mr.. Gipple's alb
sence the position was not filled.
Corporal James A. Shope, engi-
neer of the park department, has re-
turned from army service and re-
sumed his duties. After few weeks
of training Corporal Shope was
transferred to the Edgewood Arse

with close attention. He explained
how an incinerating plant had been
started at Altoona before the new
management came in. Too much
feeding stuff was being wasted, so
toona gives its piggery men nothing
to cart away garbage and feed 1t to
his pigs
But while Harrisburg pays the
Heagy firm $4,000 q month to feed
city garbage to the Heagy pigs, AL
toona give its piggery men nothing
but the use of city garbage wagons
to remove the offall. The incinerator
is operated also to burn up stuff not
feedable, but this is paid for by
merchants who have the bulk of
refuse which should be burned.
Thomas C. Hare, city solicitor of
Altoona, made a strong plea for
home rule in cities. He said he did
not come to Harrisburg to prescribe
specific remedy for local Ills, be-
cause of the thirty-seven third class
cities in the state varying in popula-
ton from 10000 to 100000, the
problems differ as widely as the pop
ulation, and q form of government
that might best suit one locality
might not, in the minds of the peo-
pie. fit another.
lie said that Harrisburg. as the
capital city of the state, has relations
with the state government which no
other city has. and to that degree
at least is different from the others.
AS the capital, he added, this city
ought to be made a model in every
respect after which other cities
every where might pattern. He said
the fault of present methods lies
more with the unwillingneSS of the
Legislature to grant privileges of
selfgovernment to cities, than with
the personality OF those charged
with the administration of local gov
ernment, they being woefully limit
ed in what they may or may not do
with respect to conduct of municipal
affairs. Home rule, he said, which
would give the cities of the Com
monwealth the right to govern them
selves as they saw flt. is the only
remedy he knows for present ills.
