The small city apartment, with its

new designs in furniture and house
furnishings. Not the least important
of the new designs is the umbrella lamp.
The two illustrations tell the whole
story. An ordinary lamp ie fitted with
shade which may be raised and low
cred like an umbrella. The convenience
of this in an apartment i. obvious; in
the daytime the lamp shade is closed.
while the lamp is put aside out of the
way at night the shade is raised, aud
we have an attractive reading lamp.
If one is unable TO find the frame for
shade of this kind, rUill's parasol
may be purchased and fitted 10 ny lamp

off. y mechanic can ca~ly adjust the
parasol to the lamp, while the cotton
covering may be removed aud replaced

pattern for cutting the silk: sew fbc
seams aud faStcn the new covering to
the frame. finishing il at the bottom
with gilt braid or silk fringe.

gether with other details. must be
worked out so that an estimate can
be made of the cost of the improve
ment. after which a loan ordinance
will be passed by council. Action
on this measure approving it must
be taken not less than thirty davs
vember provided the commissioners
decide to submit the qustion of a
bond issue to the city voters at that
time.

situation to-day said that no time
should be lost in completing all nee
essary arrangements since legisla-
tion which will permit the city and
county to join in the erection of n
building, has been introduced.

YOUR NAME IS
ON SUCKER LIST,
BANKERS WARN
FakirS Offer Worthless Stock
and Promises in Return
For Liberty Bonds

Your name is on the Sucker list"
This is the warning sounded to-
day by the local Liberty Loan COM
mittee to the patriotic men and
women who subscribed to the four
issues of Uncle Sans war bonds.
Whether you get buncoed depends
largely upon your own good sense,
the committee says. The warning
against the flimflam wiles declares
that big patches of circulars are be-
ing prepared TO be sent to bond
holders.
The Sucker list" is compiled of
the names of bond purchasers. The
test as to the common sense of the
men and women listed comes when
the fiimflamers present how they will
take Uncle Sans bonds IN exchange
for their own issues which will paw
anything from ten per cent. on up.
Worthless gold mine, oil we'll and
irrigation of desert lands are the fa-
Vorites. There is no limits to the
promises, says the committee, that
the fakirs are making
Hold on to your bond" is the
advice of the committee.

Names Suggested For Cargo
Ship Should Be Suggestive
of Harrisburg District

A. name of particular significance
to this district is desired for the
cargo ship that has fallen to the
honor of the district to christen as a
result of its work in the Fourth Lib
erty Loan Drive, the committee in
charge of the drive to-day explained.
Thus far people of the district
have displayed little originality in
making suggestions as to a possible
name for the freighter.
Thus far only three names have
been sent to j. Clyde Myton, of the
Liberty Loan Committee, who is re-
ceiving the suggestions. These three
suggestions. Yankee" "Sammee"
and Echo are too stereotyped and
to general for adoption, the COM
mittee says.
Some name that will be of par
ticular significance TO the Dauphin-
Perry Juniata district is desired. The
name should be such that the
freighter will be readily identified
with the district.

Washington, March 1S.-An extra
session of Congress before June / is
believed to be certainty by many
government officials and members of

are without the support of evidence
to show that President Wilson has
changed his determination not to
summon Congress before his return
from France.
Glass Reports Conditions
Cabinet officers believe the session
will begin in May, some expecting
the date to be about the middle OF
the month. with others suggesting
an earlier date, probably May D. AS
far as known, none of the cabinet
members has specifically recon-
mended any date to the President
but Secretary Glass is understood to
have presented certain facts in re-
gard to the governments financial
situation from which the President
may make his own deductions.
Lodge Sends Letters
Members of Congress remaining in
Washington, particularly the Repub-
Hcans, hope the session will be called
two months before the end OF the
current fiscal year. next June 80, so
that ample opportunity will be given
for considering appropriation bills
that failed at the last Congress Re
