figures.
Health Officer Advises
DIR. John M j. Raunick city
health officer. also urges extra care
for children in a series of "don'ts'
which he has issued. The list:
Don't expose yourself to the direct
rays of the sun.
Don't dwell too much on the tenn
perature.
Don't walk on the sunny side of
a street; seek shade.
Don't hurry.
Don't do work in the heat of the
day that can be as we'll done later.
Don't let children play in the hot
rays of the sun
Don't take infants in crowds or in
closed places.
Don't overeat: be sparing in the
use of meats, fats and starchy foods.
Don't eat ~hurriedly.
Don't drink iced water, but drink
plenty of cool water. Weak tea and
funsweetened lemonade are good
thirst quenchers.
Don't neglect the daily bath, a
cold shower or plnge in the norm
ing.
Don't wear heavy clothing.

BETTER TIMES NEAR,
SAY BUSINESSMEN

marked evidences of an increase of
industrial activity. Mr.. Reilly made
the statement that while in former
months people had been needing their
money for war activities, now bust
ness affairs were getting back to nor
NAL and he looked to see material
advances made in the industrial af-
fairs of the community.
Orders Are Heavy
EX-Mayor j.. William Bowman of
Bowman and Company, also is antici-
pating a return to more normal con-
ditions in the near future. While
Mr.. Bowman feels that at present the
wave has not yet reached this city
to the extent that some enthusiasts
would have us believe. yet he says
that the time cannot be far away.
when the country will itself be able
to carry on with its former energy.
The indecision and delay of the peace
signing is largely the cause of in
dustrial unrest. and with the final
windup in the next few weeks, we
may feel more free and more opti-
mistic.
John C. Herman, a director of the
Moorhead Knitting Company, spoke
very cheerfully of the conditions in
that industry. According to Mr.. Her.
man, the people are buying more
goods now than ever before, and
which seems to be true throughout
the city, are buying the more expen-
sive class of materials. 1t is almost
impossible to sell the cheaper class
of goods.
Need of Men
B. Boyd Harrington, of the Packard
Motor Car Company, is likewise most
optimistic over conditions in his
trade. He said this morning that
never in the history of the motor car
industry has there been such an I'M
precedented demand for machines.
Mr.. Harrington says that to his
knowledge, practically every factory
is going at it's capacity, and that
most of them cannot turn out auto
mobiles fast enough. While many of
the manufacturers were unable dur
ing the war to put any pleasure cars
or trucks on the market on account
of their government orders, still more
people are buying cars than ever be-
fore, and paying more money for
them, too.
Retail dealers say business never
was better than it is now. Whole
salers declare that stocks are NOV
ing rapidly and the demand is grow
ing. With one or two exceptions,
every industrial plant in the city is
taking on men. Conditions also are
expected to pick up on the railroads,
the Pennsylvania shops having been
advertising for men for some time.

At the latter point where the coal
measures end Mr.. Sekol fixed the
value of the coal at $3.50 an acre,

Mr.. Davies had valued the lands in
this township at S9,122,5OO.

In Rush township the company

thronged all day.
The Susquehanna river is furnish
ing some degree of comfort to large
crowds. River banks and the sew
era islands nearby were crowded
yesterday by persons seeking relief,
and the number there to-day is but
slightly less. When the number of
persons who have sought relief in
the Susquehanna and neighboring
creeks is considered. the number of
accidents has been remarkably low.
One drowning accident was reported
in the yellow Brooches creek.
Demand For Ice Heavy
With the mercury ranging about
the 100 mark, serious inroads have
been made on the supply of arti-
fetal ice that has been stored in the
city. for use during August. Four
hundred tons of the artificial product
has been drawn daily during the
past several days from the supply
which has been stored up.
The city has ben demanding a to-
tai of 500 tons during the heat wave
whereas but 200 IONS are being pro-
duced by the city artificial plants,
according to Harvey p. Dewalt, gen.
era manager of the United Ice and
Coal Companv. Such conditions.
couplde with the fact that it is al
most impossible to purchase ice n
rlace throughout the country. means
that Harrisburg must its

able for use during the later sum-
lei
Cheaper ut "Jitncy'' Stations
Thus far all demands for ice have
heen supplied. ice dealers report.
The increases in price. effective July
I, have not served to lessen the de-
mand. Householders are now
obliged to pay sixty cents per hun
dred pounds for ice delivered at
their homes and forty-five cents for
that which they secure at the sit
ney" stations. These prices were in
effect during August and September
of last year, but until July L this
year the prices were fifty and TIM,
cents, respectively.
The Harrisburg Pure Milk Society
has performed valuable service to
mothers of the city during the past
several days, especially to those of
poorer circumstances. Scores of
quarts of milk have ben sold to
poorer families for the use of their
children, at five cents per quart, and
many ice tickets have been distrib-
uted.
Children Need Ice
There is, however, a need for a
greater number of ice tickets, Off
Gals of the organization said to-day.
The ice is furnished to the poor
families and is mighty essential in
the preservation of the food for the
smaller children.
Officials of the organization took
occasion to urge that mothers give

The city is rapidly growing in that
direction and in a few years the
school Will be the center of a great
residential district.
Buy Whole Plot
There is no thought of buying
less than the whole plot of thirty
five acres or more. 1t would be a.
mistake, the school officials, believe,
to purchase less than that. for n
of the principal reasons for going
away from the center of town is to
give ample room in which to de-
velop.
The university plan, which il is
proposed to follow in building, pro-
vides for a number of smaller build
ings rather than the housing of all
activities under one roof. This per-
mits n limited expenditure at the
outstart. only the actual number of
buildings needed being erected, and
provides for the erection of other
buildings as they arc needed. 1t
also gives more opportunity for light
and air for outdoor physical exer-
cises. which are becoming more and
more popular in school work and
which IL is expected the State with
in a few years will make compuI-
sorry for all pupils. Under this plan,
as the Commission has suggested.

and provision made at once for

posed.
The City's End
Interviews with many citizens also
lead to the conclusion that popular
sentiment is strong for tho taking
over of Italian Park by the city. The
general belief seems to he hat the
city should at once accept the offer
of fifteen acres Of land free from
the Mckee estate, with the provlso
that IL he developed into a link OF
the park system. Tho Planning
Commission has spent several years
In getting the estate to the point of

velopment of the land can be under
taken as the city has the money.
