Harrisburgers will not soon forget that day. A fast passenger train ran smack into two buckled freight cars, load ed with dynamite. Twenty two were killed.

IN OLD BELLAIRE Dear RAB, It's great up here in Carlisle in spring. The boys are still standing around the cigar store and the Y. M. C. A.

watching the trains come in and go out. And the college students are daisy picking just like they used to. I had a birthday 'Saturday and they had sixteen candles in the cake. Letting me down easy. This short wave radio business has got me pounding brass again.

I see where the Telegraph has bought WHP. That's fine and I hope your dee vicer will find that loose connection in the transmitter, the one that makes it fade. All the fishermen in these parts are telling about the eighteen inch trout that got away since Reading Railroad trackmen found an eight een inch rainbow trout floating, bellv ud. in the Yellow Breeches. It had been hooked.

And that sup ports several fish stories. Hikers report that many copperheads are in the mountains. They smell like cucumbers, which is tough on Doc. Norcross, whose sense of smell isn't. He's busy right now on the college play.

I think they're giving "Holiday" this year. It'll soon be commencement time and the old, town will perk up for a couple of days. It takes the old Dickinson grads to start things stepping. And the older they come the wilder. But it makes business good, especially at the drug stores.

Some of the boys will have heard about the copperheads, and will have consulted the family physician, inducing therefrom little slips of crinkly paper. You know how 'tis. Yours collegiately, GUZZ. Today's Memory Stretcher Note to Old Timer, George F. Barringer, H.

C. Nevin Bay, George Hoy, et al: We need some memory stretchers. Our own 55 year old think tank has been dislocated delving into the Har risburg that was. Which means RSVP, POKE SHOOTS Ye editor of ye Hummelstown Sun asks, "Do you know poke shoots?" and goes on: "They grow wild in many localities. The young tender shoots and tips of the more mature stalks are excellent as greens Cook and serve like asparagus." We'll take asparagus if you don't mind.

And somehow we can never forget that bride who threw away the asparagus tips and hoiled the stalks. And her husband let her live. CAMERA MAN GOES ON A CRUISE Edgar J. Fulcher, of Sftult Ste. Marie, Ontario, Is making a Mediterranean cruise on tbe Empress of France.

Writing to the Soo Daily Star be gives some impressions between camera 'exposures as follows: At sea! Not all at sea though. Been across the pond once before. Glad to be going again. Nice passenger list. Nice weather.

Just like summer. The ocean splashed a little the other day, but the good ship Empress of France never got uncomfortable, and every one was in their place when meal time came. What meals! Service with a vengeance. Banks of flowers on the tables. Enough silver to satisfy Jean Val jean; dimmed lights, soft music, and exquisite food.

Fresh fruits. A marvel how things can be preserved for such a long time. Dances at night; concerts, lectures, meeting friends, getting acquainted with new friends; busy yes. Horse races the other day. What fun; just like grown up children.

Picked a winner the first race, plunged on the next race, and the horse was in mud in front of a water jump and couldn't get over the bar. Weather real warm. New York was cold. No topcoats necessary. Sit out on deck day or night.

Deck sports. Golf driving never was any good at that game. But shuffleboard, that is different. Crowds playing the games. No time to write letters.

Here comes afternoon tea. Eat, eat, eat. All the time. The steward wakes you up with a cup of tea. Then you have breakfast.

Luncheon comes along next, if you duck some crackers and soup. Four o'clock tea. Dress for dinner. Shuffle off to bed with a sandwich. Will have to go to work to keep down weight.

Work will start at Madeira. That's where they have the fast taxi cabs. Just the opposite to New York. Heard that British song, "The King's Horses?" Play that on a piano in a private lounge. Swell bunch of orchestra boys.

Adept at all branches of CHICAGO ALA RADIO BGW, who turned his radio down around the 1550 mark, "as far as it would go," is convinced that Chicago hasn't been entirely "Cer maked" yet. He tuned in on tne Chicago police system's radio station and it went something like this: "Murder 'at No. 125, Such and such a street Man' flashing gun at corner Robber in a factory Gangsters got a fellow in back seat starting for a ride, hurry Sergeant Flaherty, Cap tain "Burns wants to talk to you A gasoline station has been robbed Fight in sub basement, call out the reserves A kid has stripped a car of all that's loose, get this number And so on. The new mayor will probably or der this scissored from all Telegraphs entering Chicago. But you can read it first.

SEND IN THE NAMES Among Harrisburgers who will tos be at the meeting of the Pennsyl vania State Huguenot Society in York, May 22: Governor Pinchot and William A. Sponsler, III. Perhaps some of you know others. Send in the names. NAME The name of the Crestnor Riding Club, 'tis said, was evolved from the first names of Christian F.

Etnoyer and his wife, whose Christian name is Nora. That's about right. THAT TILTED NOSE Harrisburg reporters who got the upward tilt of the Ethel Barrymore nose in a Harrisburg hotel lobby several weeks ago will be m'terested in what the Atchison (Kansas Globe's "Old Snort" has to write about Ethel's manager. Miss Barry more was also unapproachable in Atchison. Reciting Reporter Isabella's rebuff by the Barrymore manager, O.

says, among other things too vitrolic for Pennsylvania. "By all means, Ethel, get a human being to be your manager or messenger boy or whatever you call the etc." Personally we think this manager suits Ethel to a CORRECTION Correction. In printing list of United Telephone Company (once Cumberland Valley) directors the name, J. T. Hess, was used, the re porter catching the name thus by phone.

Correct: John T. Hams, vice president and general "manager cf the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania. Reminder: These two companies were recently merged. BABE LOST AND FOUND Babe, Edna Preston's green sweat ered dog, was lost in Asbury Park, where the company's playing, the other day. Police turned the town upside down for several hours Betty Herr brought the news, Hank Senber suggesting, 'Tell that Round about fellow." Hank also sends re gards.

Babe wasn't wearing the green sweater, making the police quest more difficult. But they found Babe, whom you'll remember, dozed peacefully through her beauty sleep last winter while some one rifled his mistress' dressing room at the Majestic. They dance, sing and do tricks. Yes, indeed, they do tricks. Haven't seen the equator yet! Know my geography better than that! What bell hops are on board! Two days and the one on the saloon door was calling me by name.

Business is business! Your steward, lays out your clothes. Never had a valet before. Another prepares your bawth! Another shines your shoes! You know how it goes. Who wouldn't be a gad about? Michigan' supplied some 30 passengers. What do you know about that? One sixth of the passenger list comes from Canada.

Salt Lake City sends 12 passen gers; California, 16. There are two of the gentler sex for every unattached male. TWO ARRESTED IN RAIDS BY POLICE Two men were arrested by State Police intHarrisburg and Highspire, late Saturday. Sergeant Donald H.

The busi ness depression, and particularly the stock market depression, will end, according to James C. Wilson, New York investment banker, the day when the American dollar strikes its first blow in the fight for a better Job." "Money dislikes unemployment and starvation wages as much as any human being dislikes them. That is why the 'cheap money' policy of the Federal Reserve banks will end by forcing money to fight for better wages and better jobs.

Money will flow into investments and into trade channels rather than lie Idle. Up to the present cheap money rates have had little visible effect, but we should all recognize that big masses move slowly. "When the day of the real fight comes, the momentum of money will be all the more powerful because of the delay." 4 63 Lose Licenses During the week ending May 7, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles withdrew the cards, of 112 drivers.
