Baltimore and Ohio to
Electrify Eastern Lines

Clarksburg, w. Va, Aug. %. -
1t is reported on points along the
eastern end of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and in Baltimore that
the company is planning to install
electric power for the movement of
freight on the II mile grade start
ing a short distance west of Keyser,
in Mineral county. The use of heavy
electric motors to haul the Norfolk
and Western trains over the big
grade in the southern end of tho
State has proved very successful,
and it is believed that ere long this
may be the plan adopted on the
Baltimore and Ohio. The recent de-
mand made by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers that auto
matte stokers be placed on all en-
gines of the Mallet type and two
firemen also, if forced upon the rail-
roads, would lessen the ultimate
proportionate cost of electrify.ng
railroads. and it is believed might
hasten the use of motors on the
Baltimore and Ohio.

CAR SHORTAGE IS
ONE Big TROUBLE
Shippers Given Strict Orders
to Load Equipment to
Capacity

Engine shortage is not the only
trouble facing railroad officials. For
some days past there has been a
big demand for box cars. Strike of
shopmen on various lines in the
west tied up equipment. Industries
are c.amoring for box cars, and
there is at present a big rush OF
fertilizer for farmers, who must
have it now. Grain shipment re-
quire many box cars.
With view to getting the rolling
stock on the move more regularly
every shipping point in the United
States, including Harrisburg, will be
watched closely in order to prevent
delays. The railroad administration
has issued strict orders to all ship
pers that they must load such cars
as they receive to capacity or suffer
a curtailment of proportioned sup
ply.
1t is also pointed out that the Gov
ernment has been using many box
cars in shipment of food to and
from various supply depots. All
average movement of SO cars per
day has been reported from New
Cumberland. In the east several
hundred cars have been used to and
from Philadelphia, New York, New
ark and other points.
More Cars Available
When the Government food has
been disposed of, and the farmers
we'll taken care of in shipments of
fertilizer, it is the belief that con-
ditions will improve. Most of the
railroad shopmen in the west are
back to work. This will let loose
many hundred cars. Large trains of
empty cars are going west daily.
There is a report that the Gov
ernment has a considerable number
of box cars stored on side tracks.
These cars were built, it is said, dur
ing the war and at war prices, the
necessity being such as to constitute
an emergency and justify almost any
price to get the cars. But 1t is
said, the railroad corporations are
not willing to sign a contract for
the purchase of these cars at the
price asked. The suggestion has
been made that the railroad take
the cars for use on per diem basis
at a specified rental.

This swim will be one of the big
features of the afternoon program
and is expected to attract some of
the best swimmers in the State, par
ticularly since out-of town swimmers
and canoeists are strongly urged to
take part in the various events.
A Thriller
The obstacle canoe race this year
will be a thriller and much more
difficult than formerly. The course
will cover a quarter mile. The con-
testants will first enter their canoes
from the water, paddle 100 yards,
take their canoe over a floating tele-
phone pole, paddle another 100
yards, sink their craft, empty the
water, resume padding and cross a
line of floating casks before the fin
ish.
Second only to the obstacle race
for fun will be the tub race of a
quarter-mile. In this race the con-
testants will be required to travel
the entire length of the course in
an ordinary wooden tub.
Ira Kinder, chairman of the
canoe committee, has secured the
services of Dick" Rauch, State Col
lege athlete, and expert canoeist, to
act as coach for the various war
canoe teams. Rauch will be at
Reist's lighthouses every afternoon
next week supervising the trial
cruises of the various teams. Can
didates for the Tech team will re-
port to Captain Robert Lutz, at
Reist's lighthouses, Tuesday after
noon at o'clock for their first try
out Every Tech canoeist is urged
to turn out.
Plenty of Medals
The executive committee an
nounced last evening that gold,
silver and bronze medals will be
awarded the three winners in each
athletic event. Four valuable mer-
chandise prizes in addition to the
loving cup will go to winners in the
decorated boat parade.
Employees of the Park Departme
began to-day to trim the hedge along
the edge of River Front Park so
that spects 'ors will have an unob-
structed view of the river during the
big celebration.
Raymond Suydam. of the Steelton

Handlers, "He Shall Feed His Flock"
will be sung by three voices, with Mrs.
Frank d. Clark as the accompanist.
1t is said that with the beginning of
the fall season there will be a number
of changes in several choirs. Much to
the regret of the congregation, Mrs.
Edwin c. Thompson, who has been the
gifted organist and choirmistress at
Salem Reformed Church has signified
her desire to be relieved of the position.
although she is being prevailed upon
to continue the splendid work she has
so faithfully rendered during a period
of years.
The congregation of Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church is looking forward
with much interest to the coming of its
new organist and chormaster. The
contract calls for the completion of the
Hutchings organ by October 1, although
1t is believed the instrument may be
placed before that time.
Already talk is heard of organ re-
citals for next season and 1t is not
improbable the Harrisburg Organists'
Association will take steps early to give
Harrisburg music lovers the advantage
of sacred concerts on several OF the
fine organs in the churches of the city.
Mrs. Florence Ackley Ley will con-
tinue as soprano soloist at Messiah
Lutheran Church the coming year. Mrs.
Ley has been unusually active in the
leadership of community singing and
not infrequently has gone out of the
city to assist other less favored COM
munities in this class of work.

The vacation season for choirs and
organists is fast drawing to a close and
the first Sunday in September will see
the majority of singers and players back
in the choir lofts of the city. A num-
Der of singers have taken advantage of
their vacation periods to visit teach
ers in the big cities and not a few have
visited cities where musical affairs were
in progress notable the summer Chau-
tauquas.
Mrs. Phoebe Turner will be the solo,
ist at Second Reformed Church to-mor-
row merning in the absence of Mrs.

ton.

choirmaster at st. Patrick's Cathedral,

Fourth Street Church of God is to
have a quartet choir beginning with the
first Sunday of September, the church
council during the summer deciding on
this departure. The chorus choir Will
also be continued, but the church coun-
ell, in view of the experiences of many
churches, determined that quartet
choir would best solve its music prob

has not definitely been decided on. j.
