By NOBE FRANK (Pinch hitting for the Sec.) The Sec. being on what is commonly referred to as a vacation, and thereby labeling himself as a plutocrat, has asked me to pinch hit for him on one of his off days. That sounds easier than it really is, for where he ever digs up that information, always has mystified me no end. I don't stand on street corners, waiting for someone to come along and pick me up and take me home, so there is no news material there. The Sec.

goes on the theory, and rightfully so, that names make news, and how he creates it! I could start an argument with one of his frequent contributors, Sally Forth, but when she sallied forth with her reply, the able conductor the column would be back, and I'd have no chance for a rebuttal after Sally got inher blows. I happen to know that Sally is all for shorts in the hot eather, and lest that crack confuses you, let me hasten to explain that I recall her having written a letter to the Sec in she defended them cited me as being opposed to said apparel. Let me repeat, I am only opposed because it does have the effect of taking your mind off your work. Or I might say that I have had several profs of the approaching winter seascn even in this hot spell. The other day a gal went walking down Market street with t.

fur coat under her arm, and the temperature about 90. She had just emerged from a dress makers establishment, and I don't know whether she had it lengthened, shortened or enlargeo. The main thing is that milady is getting ready for Winter's chilly blasts at a time when just i whiff of fresh air would be like money from home. And along that line, I might ask the readers of the See's daily opus just how they refer to the sport of horses. I have been accused of going high hat and calling it equitation since going in for the sport.

Prior to that I am given to understand I called it plain old horseback riding. As the Sec. says, "Suggestions, please." And had the Sec. been standing aJ. Third and Walnut where I was the other day, he'd have published the same crack I heard as one girl said to the other, "If it gets any hotter, I'm going to take the rest of my clothes off and then see what happens." I could have told her what would happen, but she didn't ask me, and besides, I didn't know lady.

While I cm going along on this line, I might as well add that I don't like the big hats the girls are wearing. I'm for the small ones I believe is what you call it when you refer to small millinery, I like to see the face and the neck. On the other hand, I am very much for those knee high dresses, and do I have to tell you why I like them. It's just another reason why I dislike the thought of winter. Some day, I would like to shop with Babs, and give my ideas to dress designers on what Twentieth Century girls shouldJ wear.

They probably wouldn't create the designs I have in mind, but I'd get that burden off my chest. There are many women around Harrisburg who have expressed to me the idea that they would like to see an execution a Rock view someime. The only answer I can give to that one is that it' has never been done, and probably never will. There are many reasons why this rule is, in force, and about he only thing that we can ay definitely is that it will never be changed. When I give them prison authorities theory on the matter, they "I could stand it," and perhaps they could, but it really the same as sitting in a moving picture Are girls of the present day becoming more interested in shorts? I believe they are.

We hear them stealing the spotlight in tennis, golf, motor boating, baseball, softball, even wrestling. About the only sport, at least to my knowledge, not yet undertaken by the femmes, is football, and would that be a sight to see. Don't tell me they wouldn't try it if sufficiently urged. There's nothing the dames of today won't try if properly encouraged. Who knows but that is the next step to narrowing down the already small exclusiveness of the men's world.

When that day comes, many of the lads, who have forsaken the profession of coaching, will hop back into it, even on the basis of a dollar a year salary settlement. One thing is certain the coach wculd n3v have the last word, and I'd like to see the guy who could substitute the girl it didnt please her to be replaced. There you are Sec I'm glad it's over. JOBLESS PAY CHECKS TOTAL $50,000,000 Unemployment nsation payments in Pennsylvania have reached a total of $50,000,000, Secretary of Labor and Industry Ralph M. Bashore said today.

This amount he said, leaves Pennsylvania with a balance of $65,000,000 in its unemployment compensation account. Payments of compensation began February 1, and 4,440,430 checks have been issued. SENATE MAY SHY AT NOMINATIONS Committee, Faced by Growing Opposition, May Not Report at Special Session COUNTY BOARDS ATTACKED Dissatisfaction among Democratic, legislators over gubernatorial appointments to county boards of assistance will probably be outspoken when the lawmakers return to the State Capitol the day after Labor Day. No even the proctocol virtually shelving the civil service examination features of appointment to the assistance or relief system has caused me growling over appointments to county boards to diminish. Upshot of the whole business may be that the Senate committee op.

nomina tions, which is getting most of the kicks, will not report on any of the nominations for boards, thus leaving the Governor free to name old or new appointees as he sees fit to serve until the next Legis lature convenes. It commences to look as though the same course might be followed on cabinet and other high ap pointments as the Administration needs the full Democratic strength of thirty four Senators to obtain confirmations and there are three or four Senators inclined to be op posed to certain officials forever and a day.

Howe, Secretary of Assistance, assured 2500 merit system employes today the legislative disDute over civil service had not disturbed or changed the security of their jobs. Renresentative William A. Shaw 4D Allegheny) has led an attack on the tests and appointments in the relief setup, asserting the ex aminations were "impractical" and demanding every one who passed be eligible for appointment, rather than merely the high ranking three. I Certifications and future ap pointments for.

an additional 2500 jobs were withheld until the con troversy is settled. "Even Shaw had no intention of disturbing anybody in, civil service jobs," Howe said. course they are on probation for six months but that is in the law." Howe issued a brief statement, saying: "All rumors to the effect that the status of the presently ap pointed employes of the State Department of Assistance under the merit system examinations has been affected by the legislative ac tion, are without foundation." The dispute apparently headed toward Washington today. Raising the issue of states' rights, Shaw announced he was going to the Capitol next week to see whether the Federal Social Security board would, relax its requirements for Pennsylvania's Civil Service system. A $1,500,000 monthly contribution toward Pennsylvania relief is dependent upon the board's approval of the Keystone State setup, attacked by Shaw and some other State legislators.

STATE GETS MORE MONEY FOR YOUTH Increase of $1 15,615 Received For Student Aid in High Schools and Colleges ACCOMPLISHMENTS TOLD An increase of $115,615 in Pennsylvania National Youth Administration 1938 39 student aid allocation will make possible assisting 1200 more high school and college students during the coming year than last year, it was announced by Walter S. Cowing, State Youth Director.

The combined high school and college allotment for the new academic year totals $1,635,805. Of this sum $870,630 will be used in helping 25,500 students in 1185 high schools and $765,775 will be paid to 8250 young men and women in 87 collegiate institu tions. Funds will be administered by Dr. Levi D. Gresh, State Su pervisorv of NYA Student Aid Program, through local educa tional representatives.

While college students may re ceive an average of $15 a month and high school students an average of $6, the actual amounts disbursed will probably be around $11 and $4 respectively. This will be done so as to lend as sistance to as many deserving students as possible. Special funds have been set aside for Ne gro Graduate Aid. Mr. Cowing pointed out that the NYA student aid program was not a scholarship or gift system and that students helped must work in or about their high schools or colleges for the funds they re ceive.

This work, Mr. Cowing said, is designed and supervised by college officials. All work is arranged so as not to displace any regularly employed personnel. The rhajority of college workers are employed as librarians, clerical aides, faculty assistants, and research and laboratory instructors. Some students, those majoring in social are assigned to community center duties.

Among accomplishments of NYA students in Pennsylvania colleges last year was purification of the Scranton water supply through draining of swamp land and other reclamation work by Maryknoll College students under direction of members of the engineering faculty. At Dickinson College, Carlisle, a study of the Probation system of Cumberland County was made. In Pittsburgh; Carnegie Tech NYA students aided the State Department of Highways in determining the best type of road signs and highway markers through exhaustive research. Enterprising NYA students at Temple University, set up and operated a Home Town News LITTLE ORPHAN Cavalry Has High Rating, Keeps Abreast of Times New Light Machine Gun and Armored Scout Cars Extend Usefulness The Harrisburg: Telegraph presents the second in a series of Associated, Press stories telling of new weapons, new developments in the art of war tested by the Pennsylvania National Guard in its 1938 summer camp season. ine "horse soldier rates as high as ever in the Pennsylvania National; Guard, as in the rest of the' United States Army.

One reason why the cavalry hasn't been consigned to oblivion as a relic of a horseless (almost) age is that it has kept abreast of the times and absorbed the newest in the way of arms, equipment, and tactics. The 52nd Cavalry Brigade, which includes units whose his tory dates back to Civil War and Revolutionary War times, tried out several new wrinkles when it camped at Indiantown Gap this summer. One of these is the light machine gun, the principal weapon of one platoon in each rifle troop. The Browning machine rifle, twin brother of the automatic rifle which came into use by American Infantry toward the end of the World War, gave way just before camp to the stubby, air cooled, tripod mounted light machine guh. Men who used it were loud in their praises of the potent little quick firing weapon.

The machine rifle had to be fired from the shoulder', graced by a leather sling, or from a none Service Bureau under supervision of the Journalism instructors. Murals were painted at numerous sdhools, community centers, and settlement houses in Philadelphia by NYA aided students of Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Students wishing to obtain NYA funds must be between the ages of 16 and 24 and must concretely demonstrate that without NYA help they would be unable to continue with their e'ducation. Application for help must be made in person or writing to the NYA administrator at the institution at which the student intends to enroll.

A missing front license plate led to the recovery of a stolen auto and the arrest of three men charged with the theft.

Police said the men, arrested at midnight, are J. W. Harvey Lee, 32, Wallace street near Verbeke; George M. F. Carter, 32, Dewberry street near Chestnut, and John Goines, 18, Fox street near Herr.

They are under $500 bail each for a hearing in police court today on a charge of larceny of an auto. They were arrested by Patrolmen Walter Bryan and J. D. Coleman who were proceeding north in Seventh treet near Muench about midnight when they saw the auto with the missing license plate. The cruiser car overtook the car, with Lee driving at Seventh and Wallace streets.

Lee stopped because of motor trouble and when asked to produce his license admitted he had hone, police said. His companions, Carter and Goines, said they, were picked up by Lee. The auto said to be the property, of M. Brenner and Sons, 1514 North Third street. Simon Brenner, a member of the firm, said it was taken from a parking lot near "the North Third street address, about 10.30 o'clock last night.

'4 The horsemen's usefulness has been extended, too, by issuance of several lightly armored scout cars to the headquarters troop of each of Pennsylvania's two Cavalry regiments. These cars, armed with both light and heavy machine guns, are the "feelers" for the mounted troops. They scoot out ahead and to the flanks, to locate the enemy and keep him under observation until the main body comes up." They fill the gap between airplanes, which can't fly in soupy weather and in clear weather fly too fast to comb the ground in detail, and the horsemen, who can do the most thorough, detailed job of scouting on the ground. Addition of scout cars to the 103rd and 104th Cavalry is the first step in mechanization, which many Cavalrymen see as an aid to their branch of the service rather than as an attempt to replace the horse.

It would probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there are folk in departments not affected by politics, but much inconvenienced by weather who believe Federal money could be obtained. In the last month quiet estimating and approaching have been under way.

The bill of Representative John A. Smith, of Cumberland county, to air condition the Supreme and Superior court chambers, has many supporters among people who have attended sittings of the courts and of the State Board of Pardons in that beautiful place. Smith says it would not take much money and that folk who attended the recent sitting of Chief Justice John W. Kephart here lately know what a change for comfort such conditioning would bring. It may be the Smith bill will be the start of something.

One story today is that the main building would be cared for first. Coolness of the air in Legisla tive halls during sessions causes quite a few people to visit for awhile. Either hall is a nice place to get away from the heat.

Speaking of the "mental bills" their chief proponent outside of invited to tell the county commis sioners of the State the effect of proposed legislation not only in regard to patients, but relief medical care and other matters of more or less controversy in recent months, He will go to the convention of the commissioners at Conneaut later in the month.
