FIags of the PENNSYLVANIA troops
IN the World War may be displayed
IN large ornamental glass cases i'm
me corridors close to the rotunda
oi tne state Capitol instead of being
paced In inches, as are the flags OF
r ioati wars, including the great col
lection of Civil War battle stand
ards. Since the completion of the
assembling of the flags of the Kew
stone division and the gathering of
some OF the flags of the 18th and
oVtn divisions plans for a proper
ulspiay or the colors have been I'M
DER discussion. The inches on the
Irst moor of the Capitol are filled
py colors borne in war and the only
aVallap!e inches are on the second
iiooI. numerous expressions fayorN
ing tne displaying of the flags on the
hrst moor have been made and studies
are now being made of long glass
cases similar in design to those in
the inches wherein the many flags
VI the recent war can be shown to
pest advantage. A number of flags
or units raised in PENNSYLVANIA and
not assigned to any of the divisions
formed or men from this State have
peen located and will be diplayed
with the divisional unit flags. The
details OF the formal transfer of the
nags have not been discussed. but
VIII pc taken up by the State authori-
General inquiries into the manner
IN which foods of various kinds are
pelng made up, especially with re-
gard to use of water, -four and other
materials to "fatten" them, are being
undertaken by the agents of the
State Bureau of Foods. In a num-
Der OF instances it has been found
that sausage was watered and
dredged with flour, while charges
that water has been used have been
MADE IN regard to milk, vinegar and
other things, including butter. The
problem which the State authorities
must meet is to establish that the
1000 was watered and that the water
d1d not get into the product natu-
rally or In the proper processes.
It's odd the way ideas about such
meetings as the "fair price" confer
ence held here on Thursday get into
the public mind. The meeting was
scarcely day old before it's effects
began to be noticed. A couple of
men went into an ice cream soda
place and instead of just ordering
ana paying afterwards they asked
the price. Then they kicked. The
man in charge made out his side
and they told him they could buy
cheaper elsewhere and did not want
any frills, just plain stuff. And they
went two doors away and bought.
In another instance a man told a
| grocer he did not want cheese with
tin foil on it, but Just plain cheese.
The manner in which the hunters
of Dauphin county have been break
ing all records for the taking out
| OF hunters licenses has been inter-
esting officials about the court
| house. County Treasurer Mark
| Mumma says that he did not think
there were so many hunters in the
whole county and that the demand
has made his force work over time.
Dauphin bids fair to go ahead of
YORK and Lancaster which have
been among the blue ribbon coun-
ties.
Francis Feehan, who voted
against the proposed Statewide
strike at the Pittsburgh conference
Sunday is well known here, as he
was the labor member of the Tener
Workmen's Compensation Commits
sion and has been prominent in
miners affairs for years. He fire.
quently comes here through his
connection with the State govern
ment, as a supervising factory in
spector.
A Harrisburg visitor in York saw
rather amusing accident the other
| day in that fair city, when a
venerable taxicab approached him,
running on three wheels and close
ly followed by the fourth, which
had just come off and was pursuing
the cab in an evident effort to re-
\ cover itself. Before the taxi could
come to stop, the wheel turned
off the main road and when last
seen was tearing down the hill to-
wards the York county poorhouse
as fast as its old worn tread would
carry it. The taxi driver is prob
ably still searching for that wheel.
A boy just about old enough to
take out a hunters license made
some older hunters look dizzy yes
terday morning. He got off a car
coming from out Linglestown way
and walked across Capitol park
carrying small rifle, boys size,
and leading a white dog, also boys
size. He had on puttees and an old
coat with his license sewed on the
arm. A Juvenile hunters cap and
a jaunty air completed all but one
feature of the picture. And that
was the legal bag of squirrels on a
string over his shoulder. He had
been out few hours and knew
