i Rubber candy, and phoney phone calls, and stuffed wallets were as popular as ever, with jokesters pulling the old gags and devising new ones. Callers at city offices to day known by the clerical forces were treated generously with candy, but it was the April Fool kind, "chocolates" made of rubber or filled with peculiarly flavored centers. One woman called the Dauphin county jail and asked about a call for her from that number. When told the nature' of the place she became indignant and informed the office man that "I guess I'm not as big a fool as you." Fifty calls were received at the jail.

Numerous calls for Mabel," and other fictitious characters were received at the police station. Desk men were jeep! busy all day with practical jokers. BOWMAN DECIDES NEW CUMBERLAND ORDINANCE LEGAL Lemoyne, April 1. Passing of an ordinance by New Cumberland council on first, second and final readings at a meeting last Friday for the annexation of Elk wood, was legal, Addison. Bowman, Lemoyne, borough solicitor His opinion was asked by Lemoyne councilmeh when an ordinance for the annexation of Dart "tf Elkwood passed first and sec several days before the New Cumberland meeting.

The New Cumberland ordinance takes precedence, he ruled. "If the persons who signed the petitions for annexation to Lemoyne want to be dropped from New Cumberland, to which they have been annexed, they must either file with the court a protest against the New Cumberland ordinance within thirty days of its final passage or "wait until the court approves the ordinance, and then petition to be detached," Bowman said. A majority of residents living in the upper part of Elkwood presented a petition for annexation to Lemoyne. The borough is expected to pass the ordinance on final reading and present it to court regardless of New Cumberland's action. Lemoyne's plan is to divide Elkwood at Sixteenth street and let the part south of that street belong to New Cumberland and the other to Lemoyne.
