ROTARIAN GUEST
Strickland Gilliland, Poet and
Humorist. Gives Delightful
Talk Before the Club

Strickland Gilliland, noted hui
morist and poet and magazine writ
er. who with his family was in Har-
risburg to-day, was the guest of
honor at the noon luncheon of the
Harrisburg Rotary Club at the
Penn-Harris. Gilliland is one of the
most charming speakers before the
American public Inc his address to
the club was one of the biggest hits
of the year. 1t was not all humor-
Gus but there was enough of fun
related in Gilliland's W inimitable
style to keep the Rotarians in q roar
of laughter for a half hour.
Don't be worried by the fright
into which the world has fallen over
ills which self-appointed prophets
are forecasting,' said he. The
world always has been just on the
bring of ruin. but it never gets there.
The good God who created the earth
and all hat therein is had too much
wisdom and goodness in his heart to
create an everlasting mess of SUI
fering and dependency for human
ity. Just go on believing that bright
err skies are just ahead and doing
you part to brush the clouds away.
And above all preserve your n of
humor. Nc man without a sense
of humor eve gets very far. When
a man without a sense OF humor
in his makeup gets a big job to do
he goes crazy in the middle of it,
and a man with no sense of humor
who goes crazy hasn't had much of
a trip"
J. William Bowman, admiral, and
his chief assistant, V. Grant Forrer,
of the Harrisburg Navy. told the Ro-
tarians that there will be big do
ings here on Labor Day, the date
of the next Kipona, when the biggest
river festival in the history of Har-
risburg will be held. One of the fea-
lures will be a great water pageant
of a historical character.
Arch Dinsmore reported on the
boys camp of he Y. NJ. c. A. to
begin the latter part of this month.
and invited the members to hold a
picnic there during the camping
period. Also he asked the Rotarians
who have no sons to pay the way of
some boy who ought to have the
advantages of the camp.

FLY SWATTING
GETS POPULAR
All Strangers Being Rounded
Up in a Determined
Campaign

Fly swatting is getting rapidly I'M
der way in the city of Harrisburg.
All strange flies in this vicinity are
being warned TO make a quick exit
or else lose their heads. Up to the
present there has been n phenom-
enal slaughter.
william Jennings, chairman of the
general committee, has ordered sew
eral hundred rounds or fiypaper,
which he says is calculated to tam
gle up all the disturbing pests in
this city. Mr.. Jennings said that
the campaign this year is being gone
cally than ever before, and active
steps are to be taken to see that the
fly menace Is reduced.
Several inspectors from the State
Board of Health have been making
the rounds of all places which sell
fresh food, and any place where
they have found it exposed to con-
tamination by flies it has been gen.
tly suggested to the dealer hat he
get screens. Further inspections
will be made and it is promised that
If it is found that these suggestions
are not being complied with, drastic
steps will be taken to see that they
are.
Mrs. William Henderson, preSl-
dent of the Civic Club, said this
morning that everything which could
be done was being done. The an
nual contest held by the Civic Club
for all young fly swatters is going
on now. The result of the first two
months, June and July, will be an
nounced the first of August. when
five cents will be given for each peck
of flies turned in and prizes given
the girl and boy who turn in the
largest number of corpses. The sec
ond contest will extend over August
and September. Members of the
Visiting Nurses are distributing lime
to cover exposed places, and girl
scouts are taking rolls of screen
about from house to house. If con-
ditions are not extremely better after
all these efforts, it will be a great
surprise to all those interested In
