Scouts Have Eventful
Hike to Lambs Gap

1t was not a very eventful hike
from Enola to Lambs Gap but just as
we got to the top of the mountains
il began to rain so we built a fire
in the large fire place and stored up
some wood for our night fire. 1t
was planned that each scout would
cook his own meals and after supper
everyone wanted to see the tower, so
we all went up to take a look over
the Cumberland Valley.
About dusk we came back to camp
and gathered around the fire TO tell
ghost and camp fire stories. Just
as we were in the midst of an excit-
ing story, whippoorwill, only If
teen feet away, started his evening
song. We stopped the story to listen
to the song of the bird.
After many thrilling stories we
made our beds for the night. We
had expected to find hunks to sleep
in but there were none. so we made
our own beds on the floor. On ac-
count of the rain we could not get
dry grass and leaves to make the
boards feel softer. and when morn
ing came we were all mighty glad
to get up.
We took hike after breakfast
into the valley on the north side of
the mountains. At IL o'clock we
again prepared our meals = another
very much enjoyed one, and may it
be said here that every meal was
success.
In the afternoon another hike was
planned. The scouts found many
forest trees that were new to them.
Many wild flowers were found also.
After supper we gathered in more
wood for the night fire.
After dinner on the following day
there was a grand clean up. About
o'clock we started home.
After hiking for half an hour along
the top of the mountain one of the
scouts almost stepped on big black
snake. The snake was captured and
inspected by the scouts. They were
shown how to tell poisonous snake
from one that is harmless. The snake
was let go.

SCOUTING NOTES
Troop IT Hikes

The scouts of Troop II, of Penbrook.
took a hike to Boyd's woods last
We started from the school
house at 1880 o'clock and marched
down to the New Cameron Park
Driveway where we stopped, and the
scoutmaster, Mr.. Walters, gave us
some instructions in drilling.
After our strenuous exercise we sat
down and our scoutmaster gave up
some instructions in JuJitsu.
When we arrived at Boyd's woods
our scoutmaster put Scout Art Stence
in charge of six boys and told him
to conceal them in the woods. After
the rest of US formed a skirmish line
at about seven PAGES interval and ad
vanced to the edge of the woods.
Finding we could see none of the
concealed scouts, we divided into two
squads. One squad searched the front
of the woods. while the others went
through the center. The first squad
was in charge CT Scout Ches Hooker.
the other in charge of the scoutmas-
ter. We made a surprise attack on
the concealed patrol.
Then we cleaned out n spring, and
while the water was clearing we went
up in field and played several
games. including tug-of-war.
When we came back from the
spring we met two scouts from Troop
%. of Paxtang.

The changes made thus far have
not met the ideas of Governor Will

made. One of them will require
districts to pay $40 toward minimum
salaries, the State paying the rest.
One amendment under question
takes special instructors out of the

court when he is satisfied from the
evidence that the prosecution is

While it is desirable that every scout

master to camp. individual scouts
may attend camp this year
owing to the fact that a competent
staff of men will be in charge of
camp.

in Derry township, because 1t is an
illustration of the effective manner
with which the Commission Will deal
with the crossings on much travelled
roads and against which the state
Highway Department has entered
complaint. In the last six months,
through arrangement with the Fed
eral authorities, orders have been
made getting rid of almost a dozen
crossings and more such DEGREES are
in prospect. In addition the plans
have been approved for the great
hill to hill' bridge to be construct
ed between the Bethlehems.
The Derry township order pre-
sents a unique situation because 1t
involves five distinct crossings, the
largest number embraced in any
similar proceeding before the Com
mission. These crossings include
some at which fatal accidents have
occurred and which have received
the attention of grand juries and
coroner's juries time and again. Two
subways will be constructed to han
die the traffic and extensive changes
made in road lines. Some years ago
bad crossings at Rutherford and
Paxtang were gotten rid of and
when the just ordered improvements
are completed. the great highway
will be clear of danger spots for
more than nine miles from Harris
burg and an example furnished as
to the way a railroad can avoid
such places.
The Federal and railroad author
tiles have agreed to start work at
once and the order of the commits
sion apportioning the cost has al
ready been sent out so that there
will be no delay. At the office of
the commission the Derry township
cases. which were heard by Com
missioner John S. Killing, are re-
garded as among the most import
ant handled in years.

Factories Off Fifth
Avenue in New York

Business men of New York City are
going to move an entire industry-the
garment trade-employing thousands
OF workers and millions of capital and
housed in hundreds of buildings, from
one section of New York to another.
The movement known as the Save
Fifth avenue, project, started several
years ago ana has just now assumed
tangible form.
Factories which have long despoiled
part of Americas most famous shop
ping thoroughfare, scores of them
within few months will have pack
ed up, bag and baggage, and transfer
red their activity to another area of
Manhattan--west of Seventh avenue
from Thirtieth to Thirty-ninth street
there to establish the garment cen
ter of the United States.
Fifth avenue for years has borne
the reputation of being the city's best
residential street, the downtown sec
ton being devoted to retail shops of
high and most diversified types. Into
this region of imposing business
building and exclusive merchants, as
time went on, the cloak and suit man
ufacturers made their way. Soon the
sewing machine bade fair to elimi-
nate the yard stick. Americas prom
enade of elite trade and style was be-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-12-24

ing transformed into a factory district
where noon and closing hour whistles
We'd with Limousine motor horns.
These cloak and suit manufacturers
however, most of them patriotic
Americans and jealous of the welfare
of New York, got together and. CO.
operating with group of men known
as the save New York committee,
formulated plans for the erection of
factory buildings in a less exclusive
section of the city.
Bought New Locations
Carrying the idea of cooperation
still further they purchased many
pieces of real estate, totaling $4,000
square feet in the Seventh avenue
section,-an have obtained options on
1O2. 900 square feet more.
Plans now contemplate the con-
struction of four cooperative factory
buildings of sixteen stories each with
a combined floor space of 100000
square feet at a yearly rental cost of
approximately $7O0, 0,000 about so cents
a square foot, as against $3.50 a
square foot which many of the man
ufacturers are now paying. The men
Interested in the project estimate a
saving of not less than 100000 a
year in rent alone, and other similar
economies they say. will effectively
slash the high cost of living as re-
CARDS womens garments" Sixty gar
mcnt manufacturers with an annual
OUTPUT valued at $50 million dollars,
are to begin the new venture.
