PIE

"HANKS to the canteen service
of the Harrisburg Red Cross,
- through the thoughtful arrange
ments of Mrs. Francis J. Hall and
Mrs. Walter H. Gather. we are now
in position to deny once for all time
the foolish twaddle about our soldiers
returning from France changed
men," Magazine theorists have
evolved the notion that somehow or
other mid the shot and shell of
French battlefields, to say nothing
o fthe establishments of French
girls and the lure of French cookery,
the young men who licked the Hun
lost something from their natures
and gained something else; in short
that they are not the same lads who
went away, that their tastes and
views are different But we are pre-
pared to rise in our place and give
this fool idea the merry ha, ha.
It's like this. Every normal Amer
lean man loves pie. You never heard
of an anarchist or a Bolshevist who
dotted on pie, did you? You never
heard of long-haired parlor states
man from Switzerland or a revolu-
ZIONIST from Europe, who raved
over pie. OF course not. Pie and
wild-eyed political theories are utter
strangers. Only the man with the
love of country in his heart, a sound
mind, good digestion (and these
two latter are boon companions),
not to mention fond and odiferous
memories of baking day in his
mothers kitchen, loves pie. So that
being demonstrated along comes the
canteen service to try out the expert
ment Of pie on our returning SOL
diers. They baked up a batch of
some 500 or 700 and handed then,

WELL QUALIFIED

CENAToR PENRosE has been
y accorded the craftsmanship of
the Senate Finance Committee
because he is eminently qualified
for the place. The facts that there
were but five votes against him and
that even the Democratic leaders
were not adverse to his selection
show which way the wind blows.
Senator Penrose voiced views dur
ing the framing of the tax bills now
in force that would have netted the
country the money in taxes it
required, but without all the COM
plications and expense for tax ex-
perts necessary under the fool law
now in force. He is well acquainted
with what should be undone, has
distinct ideas as to what should be
done and is in full sympathy with
the policy of restricted expenditure
and reduced Federal appropria-
tions, which is a part OF the Repub-
lican program. He is unquestionably
the man for the place and the oppo-
sition to him was due largely to per-
sonal enmity.

Returning Soldiers
Advised On Unrest

They finally threatened drastic ac-
ton and strikes.
Therefore committee from Con-
gress-a committee from the Cham
Der OF Commerce-in fact commit
tees until you can't rest, appeal to
all labor and capital for order and
calm One wants a four-hour day
and triple pay, the other a sixteen
hour day and cut in wages. Be-
tween the two, what are we-you
to do?
This! When you get home line
up with the law and order crowd.
Remember that you have served
your country as a soldier and pre-
served it from harm. Then get
busy and preserve it again. Frown
on the labor which asks too much
do not listen to capital who would
take too much. And then take the
Bolshevist and kick him into an
oblivion from which he cannot arise.
After you have put yourself in this
position start to thinking out a safe
and sane policy by which these dis
orders may be restrained and of a
Supreme Court of Mediation as we'll
as a Supreme Court of Justice be-
fore which both unreasonable, cap
ital and recalcitrant labor must bow
the knee and receive their fair
verdict.
But in the meantime while you
are striving for these ends, men of
the A. E. F., constitute yourselves
the guardians of your Nations in
ternal peace as faithfully as you
have constituted yourself her guard
ians abroad. Do these things and
you have indeed served your coun-
try"

Insure Against Rain Now

The Excess Insurance Company
of London has revived a project
which was dropped because of the
war, and will issue insurance poll
cies against loss by rain during the
summer months. The protection is
intended for the benefit of man
ayers of open air fetes and sports
and for the protection of country
and seaside resorts, whose receipts
are largely dependent upon the
weather.
Applications must be made at
least seven days before the insur-
ance is to take effect. For prem
ium of 1915 week, $50 will be
paid week for each separate week
in which there occur more than
two days of rain amounting each
day to two-tenth of an inch or
over. Another form is issued pro-
viding compensation for the second
and every additional rainy day in
every separate week in which the
rainfall amounts to .15 of an inch
or over The premium is one-fifth
of the amount of the compensa-
tion a day and the policies can be
effected for single days, specified
days in each week or for any num-
ber of consecutive days.-Thomas
E. Waddell in the Chicago Tribune.

TWO SIDES TO IT

UGH is expected of the present
M Republican Congress in the
way for relief for the busi-
ness interests of the United States.
These interests are not protesting
so much against the heavy increased
taxation in every direction as they
are against the uncertainty caused
by the Indifferent and wobbling atti-
tude of Government departments.
Once Congress removes this handi-
cap, through proper legislation, there
will be greater stability in industrial
and commercial undertakings.
President Wilson in appealing
that the laborers be "given their
right advantage as citizens and hu-
man beings" should at the same
time have urged those in authority
at Washington to improve the con-
ditions of labor by striving in every
way to improve the conditions of
business by making it more prosper
Gus and successful.

and won the British Michelin trophy
for that year.
A year later, flying with a Sopwith
with Gnome motor. he established
a new British altitude record of
1900 feet. On the same day he
carried aloft two passengers to a
height of 10,6O0 feet. In 1913 and
1914 he made attempts in a Sopwith
TO win the Daily Mail prize of $25,-
600 for a flight around Great Britain.
| The first time he had to descend
near Yarmouth because of illness,
and in 1914 he met with an accident
near Dublin. During the war he
was an experimental flyer assisting
in the development of the Sopwith
plane.
AS a test pilot it was his duty to
take up battle planes for their final
tryout before they were received by
the government. He received $125
| for each flight, and it was not un-
usual for him to put twelve planes
through their PAGES in one day. For
the last three years he is said to
have been the highest paid airman
in the world. his fees being said
to pass 100000 year.

a country home at Kingston on
Thames. He has a wife and daugh-

Met Roosevelt in the Mud

George MacAdam in the Worlds
On November "a, 1908, william
Loeb, Jr., secretary to President
Roosevelt, wrote the Secretary of
War: "The President would like
to know when Captain Pershing is
coming to Washington" (Pershing
had just returned from the Moro
campaign.) The answer was re-
turned: Captain Pershing is now
in Washington and has an Office
in the War Department" The cap
tain was invited to take luncheon
at the White House.

President, when the party was seat
ed at table, did I meet you in the
Santiago campaign"
Yes. Mr.. President, just once"
When was that? What did I
say?"

There was a general laugh in
which Roosevelt Joined.

why. I had gone back with a
mule team to Siboney, to get sup
plies for the men. The night was
pitch black and it was raining tor
rents. The road was a streak of
mud. On the way back to the
front, I heard noise and confusion
ahead. 1 knew it was a mired
mule team. An officer in the uni
form of a Rough Rider was try
ing to get the mules out OF the
mud, and his remarks, as said a
moment ago, should not be quoted
before ladies. suggested that the
best thing to do was to take my
mules and pull your wagon out,
and then get your mules out. This
was done and we saluted and
parted"
"Well," said Roosevelt, "if there
ever was time when a man would
be justified in using bad language,
it would be in the middle of a rainy
night, with his mules down in the
mud and his wagon loaded with
things soldiers at the front needed"

SAME OLD GANG

40 LONG as Count Won Bernstorff
remains the power he appears
- to be in German affairs we are
justified in looking with suspicion
upon developments in the affairs of
Germany having any relation to for
eign policy. Bernstorffs cronies in
the United States were the disrepu-
table Won Papen and the brutal Boy
Ed, who plotted against the peace of
the United States, the safety of our
property and the lives of our people
while enjoying our hospitality and
the protection of our flag. They
are the counts boon companions
and doubtless, also, there are many
other sweet-souled German patriots
of the same stamp listed under the
Bernstorff banner.
Bernstorff never was a republican
and never can be. II Germany ever
drifts back to imperial form of gov
ernment, it will be the Won Bern
storffs who engineer the coup.
These are the men who behind
the screen are guiding German pol
icies at the peace conference. They
are the same men who planned an
"enfeebled France" for the aggran-
dizement of Germany; the under
takings" and landed properties OF
the conquered districts to be "given
into German hands," and who urged
that mo mercy should be shown"
In the light of what they would have
done as conquerors, their wailings
over the peace terms are laugh pro-
voking and their tears are those OF
the crocodile they strongly resemble
in other attributes of character. Let
them rave. They are fooIing no.
body. By and by they will sign and
go home and turn their plotting and
scheming against their own people
who are more easily deceived by
clumsy diplomacy.

It's going to be very difficult for
the Washington administration to ex-
plain it's sudden flop on Government
ownership as the only panacea for
all the ills of the great transportation
and wire systems of the country. If
Government ownership and control
was a good thing year or two ago,
1t is a good thing now, and yet the
President is more than anxious to
get the railroads, the telegraph and
telephone and cable lines back into
the hands of the owners at the
earliest possible moment. 1t is quite
significant that the head of one of
the largest telegraph corporations in

mediately upon receiving back its

rates which was ordered by Post
master General Burleson will be cam
celed.

TRADE BRIEFS

American manufactured shirts

This seasons Dutch bulb crop is
reported to be rs per cent. below
1918 and so per cent. below 1914.
The quality, however, Is considered
better than in 1918.
This seems to be very oppor-
tune time to introduce American
varnishes in Italy, as there is a
decidedly small stock of such goods
on hand and as varnishes were Tor
merly supplied to this market py
Germany.
Sample lots of piece goods, sheet
ings and cotton prints which illus
trate the class of textiles in demand
in Columbia may be examined at

tic Commerce and its district offices
by reference to File No. 402O7.

pany proposes to establish a labor
atory at Stockholm (the original
center of the felt hat industry in

ment and research, particularly
with regard to the manufacture OF
the velour hats.

Dollar a Mile For Speeders
tFrom the Houston Post. I

IfT TOIl lHe houston FOSI.
II putting up the cost of speeding
will stop the practice, Dallas will
soon be rid of the speed hounds, for
one of the judges of that city has
adopted a plan of assessing fines of
dollar mile" against motorists
convicted of exceeding the limit. At
the rate some of the Houston speed
ers drive, it would require only a few
fines like that to confiscate their cars.
and it ought not to require many
confiscations to result in making the
street safe for pedestrians
The motor cars that kill and main
people on the streets are always
going very slowly, according to the
stories told by the drivers, but the
record in Dallas shows that for the
first week after the dollar-a-mile fine
scheme was put into effect not a
single person was admitted to the
Emergency Hospital, suffering from
injuries received in motor car acct
dents. and the absence of accidents
might be attributed to the high fines
for speeding and the consequent
more careful driving.
The truth is. of course, that most
accidents in which pedestrians or
occupants of cars are injured, are
the result of excessive speed. Know
ing this. judges are justified in TAX
ing drastic means to stop speeding
of cars.
The people are entitled to pro-
lection from the speed fiends who
make race courses of our best streets
and highways, and heavy fines for
those who violate the laws have been
found to afford the best protection.
"A dollar mile" is a good slogan
for any court which Furnishes speed
ers.
