THIS FLOWER ENTICES TINY
INSECTS TO THEIR DEATH
Natural History Society Is Exhibiting Plants Which Nav
Suffer Fatal Attacks of Indigestion

The Harrisburg Natural History
Society is exhibiting an interesting
collection of wild flowers in the win
dow of Potts drug store, 100 North
Third street Probably the most in
teresting is the round leaved Sun
Dew. Here is a bloodthirsty little
plant that actually devours animal
life. Nothing could be more inno-
cent looking than this tiny plant, it's
leaves glistening with what looks
like dew. A little fly or gnat, at
tracted by the bright jewels, alights
on leaf only to find that the clear
drops, more sticky than honey, in
stantly glue his feet, that the pretty
reddish hair about him act like ten
tacles, reaching inward to imprison
him with their slowly closing en-
brace. Here is one of the horrors
of the Inquisition operating in this
land of liberty before our very eyes
Excited by the struggles of the vic
tim, the sensitive hairs close only
the faster. Slowly, surely, the leaf
rolls inward making a temporary
stomach. And now the leafs orgie
begins; moistening the fly with a
fresh peptic fluid, which helps in the
assimilation the plant proceeds to
digest its food. Curiously enough
chemical analysis proves that this
sundew secretes a fluid correspond
ing almost exactly to the gastric

sheviki; to Merge With

London, June r. A Com
munist government will be pro-
claimed in Austria on Sunday
with promise of immediate
success, according to information in
government circles here.
The best information indicates
that about 40 per cent. of the Aus
tran Army is Bolsheviki. The
Austrian Communists are expected
quickly to align themselves with the
Hungarian Communists. Recent
military successes have strength
ened the Hungarian Comm unists.
The Austro- Hungarian situation
as whole is viewed here as decid-
edly serious.
Paris. June 12. Bolshevism
and Bella Kun, foreign minister of
the Hungarian Soviet governme ent,
were discussed yesterday by the
Council of Four and the Council
of Foreign Ministers. The successes
of the Hungarian Bolsheviki against
the Czecho- Slovaks have caused
anxiety.
Kun's reply to a telegram from M.
Clemenceau. demanding that he
cease hostilities against the Czecho-
Slovaks or suffer the consequences is
apparently unsatisfactory. Ofhcial
denial is made of Kun's statement
that he had been invited to the Peace
Conference. He was told in NJ. Glenn
enceau's dispatch that he would not
be invited to the conference If he
did not cease fighting.

COMMERCE BODY'S
PROGRAM |NDORSEO
Business iMen Here in Accord
With Plans to Improve
Status of Industry
AGAINST WAGE REDUCTION

Approval Of the industrial relations
program of the United States Chamber
of Commerce was voiced here today by
prominent business men.
This program, which has been formu-
lated by special committee, is to be
sent to the trade bodies of the country
in referendum which will determine
the sentiment of business men for fur
thering such industrial co operation as
the statement proposes.
The program stresses the need of CO.
operation of employer and employe and
the mutual recognition that the interest
of all are in the success of the industry
Ernest II. Trigg, president of the
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and
member of the board of directors of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
who is familiar with the progrhm, gave
his hearty Endorsement to it..
''It is an admirable statement of
principles in which we must all sooner
or later believe" he said. 81 am in
hearty accord with the program. 1t
was carefully discussed before its adop-
ton by the national body. 1t is state
ment of the advanced ideas which our
new knowledge of industrial needs has
brought us. 1t represents the best
thought of serious. sincere business men
and employees who believe in fair treat
ment on both sides"
He would not hazard guess as to
how the program would be received
when it comps here for a vote.
Co. operation as Solution
J. W. Rawlc, vice president of the
J. G. Brill Company. said the program
stated in a very general way what most
men believe. although details may differ
in different localities and industries
IT have always been a believer in
co operation as a solution of industrial
problems and nowadays everybody be-
lieves that capital and labor must deal
with each other on quite different basis
from the old days
In reference to the plank of the pro-
gram which states that reduction in
wages should be the last resort in cost
reduction of a plant, Mr.. Rawle said
that it expressed his opinion and that
of most business people.
William Disston. who left Henry
Disston Sons to work for the Depart
ment of Labor during the war, ex-
pressed himself as heartily in sympathy
with the program. 1T is the sort of
thing believe in," he said. "Of courss
am not now a member of the firm and
cannot speak for the firm, but such a
program expresses my personal beliefs
on industrial relations
The program which is to be sent out
for vote on each of its thirteen propo-
sitions is as follows:
industrial enterprise, as source
of livelihood for both employer ant
employee. should be so conducted tina;
due consideration is given to the sit
uation of all persons dependent upon
it.

"Wages should be adjusted with the
due regard to the purchasing power Of
the wage and to the right of every man
