been destroyed.

WORK WELL DONE

~ EORGE s. REINOEHL, who
r retires as president of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, we'll deserved all the con-
gratulations he received at the an
nual meeting last evening. While
his administration, due to war con-
ditions, has been of but nine months
duration, the program he and his
colleagues outlined, the work they
have done and the wonderful sue
cess that attended all their efforts
marks the past year as one of the
best in the history of the organiza-
ton.
From the reception to Governor
Sproul last February, when the big
Capitol Park zone developments, the
proposed city hall and court house
and other improvement plans were
given a great impetus, to the de-
lightful and elaborate Welcome
Home" celebration last week, the
Chamber has conducted itself in a
dignified and entirely praiseworthy
manner. 1t has led many COM
munity movements and activities and
has brought its greatly increased
membership into a close relation
ship that makes for better feeling
among the people of the city. The
rapid growth in membership is of
itself an indication of the favor in
which the body is held.
Mr.. Reinoehl, in his annual mes-
sage, points out that the Chamber is
always ready to be of service to the
city, but he need not have said so,
for the public has had ample oppor-
tunity to note the readiness of the
Chamber to meet its obligations in
this respect. Its work during the
war was invaluable and the progra m
outlined in the early part of the
year is so comprehensive that il
could not possibly have been COM
pleted during one administration,
but leaves the Chamber with a sched-
ule of work to be done which can
be followed to advantage for the
~@ASNs vi iONi L HIS IL
one of the best things the Chamber
has done. 1t recognizes the over
tapping duties of administrations as
they come and go and lays stress
upon the necessity of continuing a
good work well begun until it shall
have been completed. The housing
problem is an example. The Cham.
Der early in the year undertook
seriously to meet the shortage. The
job. under the circumstances, coulf
not be completed in one year. Sc
the new administration will take i
up where the old will leave it. Ant
so with score of other matters now
in committee or under consideration
by the Chamber. There will be II,
fitful stopping and starting, but ;
continuous working arrangement
that will keep the organization con
stantly moving ahead under ful
power with all cylinders hitting
That, perhaps, is the most importan
accomplishment of very importau

EACH ONE OF US

~ VERY man, woman and child
n, in Harrisburg, aside from sol
d;ers ard possibly thclr fam
! lilies, should have enough interest IN
tho memorial 70 the soldiers, sailors
and marines OF this city to make ii
rial designed for the site ~ State

tion is admirable for mary reasons,
not the least important being its
| proximity to the eastern approach
to the great memorial viaduct to be
erected Jointly by the State and the
city as a part of the Capitol Park
improvement.
Individuals, corporations, - firms
and associations, fraternal and other
wise. are contributing to the me-
mortal fund on the unit basis of
twenty dollars for each soldier,
sailor and marine who represented
Harrisburg in the great war.
The memorial designed by Arnold
w. Drummer is a worthy conception
and 1t will be characteristic of
Harrisburg in the campaign which
started Monday to promptly sub
scribe the necessary funds and thus
complete the chapter of home ac.
tivity in honor of our fighting
forces.

Rights of Pedestrians
[From Harvey's Weekly. ]

With the incessant slaughter of
pedestrians and others by reckless
drivers of motor cars, which is now
going on, it is gratifying to hear now
and then such words as those of
Judge Rosalsky, of New York, the
other day. "The time has arrived" :"
he said, when those operating mo-
tor vehicles must be taught the les
son that life and limb should not be
valued too cheaply, and 1t Is only
through the rigorous enforcement of
the law that chauffeurs and others
will learn to respect the rights of
pedestrians" That is sound doc
tiren, which every judge in the land
will do we'll to put into efficient prac-
tice.

~ speech the other day on the
storage bill. Hear him:
"And the seven years of plente-
BUSINESS that was in the land of
Egypt were ended.
And the seven years of dearth
began to come, according as Joseph
had said: And the dearth was in
all lands, but in the land of Egypt
there was bread.
And when all the land of Egypt
was famished, the people cried to
Pharaoh for bread: And Pharaoh
said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto
Joseph; what he said to you, do.
Imagine, II you will, to-day, pro-
through the West, the Chief Execu-
tive saying unto the people, go
unto the storage men, who know
som mething about this situation, and
follow their advice" (Laughter).
Now, what happened?
"And the famine was over all the
face of the earth; and Joseph
opened all of the storehouses, and
sold unto the Egyptians; and the
famine waxed sore in the land of
Egypt. - ,..o
"And all countries came INTO
Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; be-
cause that the famine was so sore
in all lands.
"This went along until the great
original profiteer saw his chance to
make a killing, and he said, II have
stored up all this corn and will
feed you," and he sold the corn.
He said, ct will give you corn II you
will give me land" And they trad
ed all the land of Egypt unto this

Major General Leonard Wood de-
clared in an address recently that
the disgraceful riots at Omaha were
directly due to the activities of the
I. w. w. He expressed the opinion
that good citizenship will counter
act these influences and, to teach
good fellowship, foreign languages
should be eliminated from the grade
schools. He also declared that there
will be no red flag where there are
brave public officials. Most thought
full people will agree with General
Wood that the time has come to stop
the activities of the foreigner who
comes to this country for no other
purpose than to overthrow the Gov
ernment and upset our institutions.
But it will be necessary to do some
thing more than talk to restore the
equilibrium of sane and ordinarily
lawful and liberty-loving people.

The Greater Harrisburg Navy. in
endorsing the ordinance for bathing
facilities here, is performing it's real
function. AS the problem is studied,
It becomes evident that the sugges-
ton of bathing pools at different
points in the city is impractical at
this time and that the proposed loan
should be utilized entirely for estab-
fishing proper bathing beaches and
bath houses. We have waited long
for suitable bathing accommoda-
tions in the Susquchanna Basin and
no mistake must be made, now that
the matter has been taken up in a
proper way by the City Council.
