ference or rim being nothing and
increasing in depth gradually. At
a point near the center the pool is
SIX teet deep. From this point the
pool floor drops down more abrupt
ly until center depth of eleven
teet is had for diving purposes. The
circular pool design was selected
after long discussion, plans being
prepared for both circular and rec
tangular pools, bids being received
Tor both designs. Circular pools ap-
peared to be more suitable design
Tor general public use, in asmuch as
the nonswimmers greatly outnum-
bered the swimmers and the eN
pert swimmers and divers represent
a small percentage of the bathing
pubic. The same correspondent also
suggests that the circular pool is
safer, requiring less number of life
guards. The only deep water is at
the center and there is less danger
OF person accidentally falling into
deep water and on this account is
much safer for children. The same
engineering firm says n well-patron-
lied feature of the pool on the
Connecticut river is the commodious
sand beach which is regarded as n
necessary factor of an outdoor pool.
The sand was spread to n depth of
about nine inches creating a wide
beach 1000 feet long. and not less

locations he will be in position to
submit recommendations for the
City Council.
With the proposed loan of $40,-
900 those who have had the matter
under consideration believe that
bathing beaches and lighthouses de-
sirable for Harrisburg can be pro-
vided. Engineers who are expert
enced in the construction of swim
ming pools have also communicated
with Commissioner Gross and he
has assembled considerable import
ant data which will be usefu in
reaching a conclusion regarding the
local proposition.
It has been suggested that at least
two bathing beaches can easily be
est stablished, one at the northern end
and the other at the southern end
of Island Park where large pools
may be established with a comfort
able beach and adequate bath
houses, erected at an elevation above
the average flood stage.

BOARD OF HEALTH
WARNS AGAINST FLU

They are advising that the
system not be permitted to get
into a rundown condition, but
that it be kept in a healthy, Wig
orous state so that it will be
prepared to better withstand
the danger of influenza. The
blood is the most vital force of
life; therefore, it follows that
upon the condition of the blood
depends largely the condition
OF the entire system.
Every organ, nerve, muscle,
tissue and sinew of the BODY is
dependent upon the blood sup
ply for nourishment, and as it
circulates through the system
pure and rich and free from all
impurities, it furnishes these
different members the healthful
properties needed to preserve
them and enable them to per-
form their various duties.
So long as the blood remains
free from infection, we are Ii
able to escape disease, but any
impurity in this life-giving
stream acts injuriously on the
system and affects the general
health. Disordered blood comes
from various causes, such as a
sluggist condition of the circu-
lation, imperfect bowel and kid
ney action, indigestion, etc, but
whatever the cause the blood
must be purified before the sys-
tenn is in such a robust condi-
ton that it is able to ward off
disease.
S. S. S, the fine old purely
vegetable blood remedy, is a
valuable agent in building UP
the system. and giving it that
ROBUST ana vigorous vitality
that is so essential as an aid in
resisting influenza, and other
dangerous ailments. A course
OF S. S. S. will prove to you its
great efficacy, as it has in so
many cases of impaired and i'm
poverished vitality. 1t is sold by
all druggists, and is worth
many times its cost in building
up and Strengthening the sys-
TEN, and giving it a robust Wig
orous and healthy circulation
that is so important in helping
to ward off the attacks of dis
ease.

San Francisco Field

San Francisco, Oct. s.-Lieuten-
ant ]. P. Richter, plotting de Havi-
land plane with Lieutenant j. B.
Patrick as observer. leaving the
ground at 6.51 a. m. to-day, was first
of the western aviators to hop off"
in the 400 miles race to Mineola,
n. Y.
Cadet D. A. Cardiff was second to
take the air. He left. at 6.52. His
plane carried no observer. The first
six machines took the air in less
than five minutes and they were
closely followed by three more.
The sixteen pilots included aces"
from the war zone, aviators who
had won distinction at camps in this
country and cadet aviators who did
not win their double wings" before
the armistice. Late Friday the win
ner expects to be in Mineola.
The western aviators will attempt
to beat fifty fellow flyers who were
starting to-day from the eastern
terminus. The westerners. it was
conceded, have their greatest test at

The high esteem in which Mr..
Heathcote Is held by all connected
with the Metropolitan company was
manifested in the enthusiasm which
marked the dinner and the splendid
tributes which were paid to the head
of the Harrisburg district. He was
presented during the evening with n
handsome chime clock, the presenta-
ton speech being made by c. A.
Wade, of Pottsville, a fine pipe, pre-
sented in behalf of the .superintend-
ents by 4. S. E. Kinsey, of Allie

was presented to Mrs. Heathcote
with the compliments of the group
of superintendents by II. d. Sollen-
berger. of Pottstown.
\ Tale of Progress
President Fiske made an address
which will not soon be forgotten
by all who had the privilege of hear
ing it. 1t was an insurance epic;
il was more than that, it was the
vision of Il great man who was able
to discern in the working out of the
constructive policies of one of the
greatest insurance companies the
obligations of stewardship and the
brotherhood of man. He told in a
narrative that was eloquent and
thrilling the story of the develop
ment of the Metropolitan company
with concrete illustrations of its
wonderful welfare work for millions
of people. The address was a revela-
ton to most of the guests. and per-
haps, to most of those who are OF
the Metropolitan forces. He de-
scribed how the company not only
provides for death, but for the health
and usefulness of those who are as
sembled in the great army of policy
holders of this unique institution.

machines captured almost intact on
the western front. French, British
and Italian machines are also en-
tered. Most of the American en-
tries are equipped with the famous
Liberty motor developed by Ameri-
cans during the war and the race will
afford a good opportunity to test its
qualities against the best types of
foreign makes.
The foreign entries include Com
modore Lee f. Charlton, air attache
OF the British embassy. who will fly
Bristol fighting plane that he has
been using in taxi service at
Washington, and Captain De La
vergne. air attache OF the French en-
bassy, who is to fly as a passenger
in an American plane.
Although prizes totaling $66.0 70
have been offered by the American
flying club and private individuals
for the winners of the contest, Major
General Charles T. Menoher, chief
of the Army air service, has ruled
that they could not be accepted. He
announced, however. that there
would be ratings for three compe-
titions each way. These include q
time competition for the pilot cross
ing the continent in the shortest
time irrespective of stops and actual
flying time; a speed contest for the
pilot making the trip in the short
est flying time and a handicap COM
petition based on actual flying time,
but with each class or type of ma
chine to be given a handicap per-
centage based on the reputed speed
as computed by the technical section
in its official tests.
Under the rules of the contest
there is to be no flying between sun
set and sunrise on Sundays or in
bad weather. Each contestant will
be required to stop at least thirty
minutes at each OF the twenty in
termediate stops. Aviators remaining
over forty-eight hours at one station,
unless held there by the weather,
are to be disqualified. No time will
be taken out for forced landings.

Germany but Shadow
of Old Empire, Says =
American Investigator

Berlin, Tuesday, Oct. Present
conditions in Germany are unfavor-
able, according to H. c. Stevens, or
the National Bank of Commerce OF
New York, who has been investigat-
ing business in Germany for many
weeks.
Germany is but shadow of the
great empire of 1914" he said o.
day. she is a sick Samson, bound
with chains and watched by thou
sand guards. Her people are not
working and have not learned econ
omy and self-denial; her industries
are operating only spasmodically,
and her once wonderful railroad
system is at the point of disintegrity.
The question of extending aid
to Germany will apparently be de-
cided by public sentiment in Amer
lea. 1t is n question to be deter
mined in a dispassionate way. The
problem is both humanitarian and
commercial, and Americas judg-
ment should be predicted on facts,
not on unreasoning fears"

Recurrence of Dreaded
Epidemic

Medical authorities seem to
be of the opinion that this coun-
try will again be visited by the
dreaded scourge OF influenza,
and have already taken steps
to warn the public as to the
precaution that should be OBJ
served.
The Board of Health OF the

widely distributed containing
the following advice, which
will be found valuable in any

h,. BUSINESS IN
 MEXICO GROWING
Despite UnIaVorable Conditions,
 Exports Increase

Mexico City, Sept. 26 Correspond ence of the Associated Press) De- spite conditions popular iy regarded in the United States as urinviting to American trade expansion here, busiz ness between that country and Mex ico shows a decided upward trend. During the fiscal year just closed i'm ports and exports between the two republics amounted 10 more than 531, 100000 pesos, according to figures given the Associated Press by w. F. Saunders, secretary of the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City.
 Of this amount 376,00O,000 pesos represents exports from Mexico and 164, 100000. pesos represents imports Previous to the current fiscal year, the banner period of MeXican-United States business was in 1911 when 102,0O0, ,000 pesos worth of goods were exported from Mexico and 146, 100000 pesos worth were imported
 "DeduCting amounts representing petroleum eXportations which are not considered in the ordinary run of commercial business, and for in creased values of goods, these figures indicate clearly that trade is increas- ing said Mir. Saunders. Mexico will spend more than $150, ,000,0 ,000 in the United States during the year 1919, with imports of hardware, machinery, drugs and dry goods leading all others. During the month of August we received more than 700 letters from firms who intim&ted intentions of establishing branches here.
 The end of the war has brought sharp competition for Mexican busi- mess. It is interesting to note in this connection that sentiment is giving way to sound business in dealings with the Germans. It will be remem- bered that during the war a referen- dunn vote of Chamber of Comm ere e members favored a commercial boy colt of Germany after the war. This has been forgotten here and German firms who are conceded to have the firmest hold on the hardware business in the republic, are buying practically all of their supplies from American dealers. Japanese competition is neg Hgible."
 A strenuous effort is being made to stabilize transportation conditions which present the most serious ob- stacles to trading. Congestion of freight at Nuevo Lareda for transmits , sion to Mexico City still exists, but within the past few weeks arrange ments have been made by three con- cerns here for the operation of "spe- cial freights" between the two points. A new steamship, line between Vera Cruz and New Orleans will also open for business next month.
