PROGRESS WITH
HEALTH WORK
BEING WATCHED
Other Cities of State Are In
terested in Harrisburg's
Efforts

Other cities are taking the greatest
interest in the campaign instituted
by the health and civic bodies of the
city and State to make Harrisburg
a model city in regard to the health
and cleanliness of its less healthy
localities.
Mrs. Lyman d. Gilbert, who is
chairman of the committee on well
fare work, has received letter from
the Allentown branch of the Red
Cross. asking for a statement of the
methods used by the Harrisburg
branch in carrying on the welfare
and educational work. Recently an
other request of similar character
was received from Lancaster, with
the result that the latter city is at
present about to anaugurate a cam
paign on the same lines as the one
being conducted at present in this
city.
DR.. Dorothy Child, of the State
Health Department, said this morn
ing that reports on the Investigations
being made by the survey committee
are coming in rapidly and being con-
solidated, so that action may be
taken as soon as possible in the in
dividual cases. Many persons who
have not realized the necessities for
screens an dixie appliances to keep
away flies. mosquitoes and other
disease-carrying insects from their
babies, will learn how to take care
of them from the workers.
AS each member of the committee
goes about with a nurse, accurate
and reliable information is coming
in-on conditions as they exist to-day
The plan is not simply to observe
these conditions. not to bother the
unfortunate people by plying them
with questions, but honestly to find
out what seems to be the trouble and
then get into action right away and
do everything in their power to rem
edy the situation as they find it. DIR.
Child promises to publish some of
the reports as soon as the investi-
cations shall have been completed.

Ascat eHath, Eng, June 23.-"Roy
al Ascot" the biggest social event
OF the British Turf season, opened
today after an interval OF four years
due to the war, and society turned
out in force, revelling in the opportu-
nifty to display toilettes which war
time economy forbade. The meeting
opened with the usual royal process,
sion, King George and Queen Mary,
accompanied by the whole OF the
court, driving in state carriages, with
liveried postillions and outriders,
from Windsor Castle about five miles
distant.
Ascot marks the opening OF the
British society season" and is one
of the three race meetings largely at
tended and patronized by women. So
ciety goes TO EPSON for the Derby
but 1t keeps its best and latest frocks
for Ascot and Goodwood. Statisti.
clans have vainly endeavored to
compute the value, or cost, OF the
toilettes displayed on the royal
heath during the four days racing.
The seeker after sport, and con.
noiseur of horseflesh is nobly cater
ed TO as the racing today, and the
three days following provides the
highest class, both for richness OF
prizes, and value and breeding of the
equine competitors. Trophies and
stakes to the value of over $4,000
are run for during the four days, the
principal events today being the Gov

classic two.year olds, (the winner lis
usually installed as favorite for the
following years Derby,) value
$4,000; the Gold Vase, much GOV
eted $1,000 trophy raced for over a
two miles course, and the Ascot
stakes, tive and a quarter mile
handicap worth $4,000
King George appoints his own
stewards for the meeting, but other
wise he allows the Jockey club to
supervise. He makes no profit out
OF it, in fact generally has to dig
down into his pockets t6make up the
prizes.
