Sister Asks Hospital Officials to Scold" Joe" When little Mary Gullage, 8 years old, of 108 Mary street, was detailed to accompany her brother, Joseph Gullage, to the Harrisburg Hospital for treatment, she asked the physicians to give her brother a "good scolding" in addition fixing his head. Joseph, it appears had been playing with some boys of whom Mary did not approve and as a result of some stone throwing Joseph received a cut on the forehead.

Joe's head was bandaged and the scolding was duly administered. sherIpleTsed with new bids From Page One tracts and that the competition helped to kep the prices down to just a few cents more than last year's paving costs. Better Paving In citing three reasons for the slightly higher prices, the Commissioner revealed for the first time that Harrisburg again is taking steps to put down more substantial paving to meet increases in heavier traffic. Under, revised paving specifications, used for the first time in yesterday's bidding, contractors hereafter will have to put calcium chloride in the concrete mixture. This is done to make the concrete ITnrW an- other change in specifications, the contractors win nave-to mix me green concrete at least a minute and a half in the machines.

That rigid requirement, which city highway inspectors will enforce to the letter, takes a little more time than under the old provision of the paving specifications which simply said the concrete must be mixed thoroughly. Both these stipulations mean better paving, in the opinion of both Pftmmissinnpr Shfirk and Citv En gineer Cowden. They helped to raise the paving price. Anotner reason-is the increased cost of which hecame acDarent when the city recently opened bids for raw asphalt lor use tne municipal asphalt repair plant. Thicker Base The contractors' bids were slightly higher for paving Radnor and Third streets in the vicinity of the new Polyclinic Hospital.

Sherk explained that. He said the concrete base for those two sections will be seven instead of the customary six inches thick, because the paving is being laid across an old public dump where the fill is not as substantial as on the ordinary street grading jobs. The calcium chloride solution is being used in alleys paved with concrete as well as asphalt streets with the concrete baser. In alleys the contractors use a mixture of one part cement to two of sand and three of stone and there is 2 per ent. calcium chloride in the water.

In the asphalt street base, the concrete mixture is not quite so strong being one part cement to three sand and six stone, so a 3 per cent, calcium chloride solution is required. The chemical alsovs being used in mixing concrete for street curbing. W.C.T.U.

Uniform fire signals, complete evac- I uation of buildings and prompt response to firm alarms are among the recommendations made to the schools of the city by Fire Chief Tawney is a result of the fire drills held in the schools during Fire Prevention Week. A uniform fire signal for all schools is urged so no confusion will arise from the transfer of pupils from one building to another.

Records were kept of the efficiency of tho drills. Boxes Fail to Work At the new William Penn High School it was found that the fire alarm boxes would not work and that no fire signals had been adopted.

The report commends the St.

Mary's parochial, Open Air and Lincoln schools for the manner in which drills were conducted in those buildings. Fire Chief Tawney's recommendations and comments on the drills are: "There is not a uniform signal. There should be. "There is a disposition among teachers to remain in the buildings when a fire drill is held. This is particularly noticeable in the high This is entirely wrong and snouia De corrected at once.

"Open Air School deserves special mention, in clearing building. "Camp Curtin High School Orchestra did not leave building when fire alarm was sounded. Upon inquiry as to whether the alarm was heard, the answer was in the affirmative, but signal ignored. Help Smaller Children "St. Mary's School.

Would suggest that the unoccupied room on the first floor be occupied by the larger children so that they could reach the door ahead of the smaller children. Close One Exit Building.

Drill good. Teachers at this school have instituted a movement -of closing off one exit, teaching the children to 'clear the building in case one is blocked by fire. This is changed from time to time and is a very good plan. "Allison Building. Rubbish can standing in the hall in passage way of children.

WORK IN STATE Although still far from normal, labor conditions throughout Pennsylvania showed continued improvement during the first two weeks of April, reports from tho various employment offices of the State Department of Labor and Industry today indicated. Partial resumption of building and construction activities has been responsible for the absorption of much of the unemployed unskilled labor.

The offices in the larger cities, however, still report a surplus. There has been but little additional furloughing of railroad employes, but practically all of the larger carriers are operating with greatly reduced working forces. The Scranton office reported that all the larger collieries in the anthracite field have begun working full time and as a result many of the miners who have been unemployed during the winter months are back at their jobs. Conditions in the bituminous fields remain far below normal and many miners in that section have drifted into other lines of employment. The metal industry shows but little indication of full normal activity.

ave had little difficulty finding jobs, despite the fact that there is much employment in the industry. Requisition for all around machinists are hard to fill because of the neces sity for specialization. Wholesale and retail lines which take on extra workers during the holiday season in most instances have furloughed all such employes. Reports Indicated that the Easter trade was good but that the majority of workers who were employed temporarily have been released. Woman Who Took Life Buried in York County YORK, April 22.

Daughter on Way Home Her condition was regarded so favorable last week Doctor Morgan ganctioned the return from China of one of their three children, Dr. Julia Morgan, by way of Europe. The daughter had sent a cablegram Inquiring whether the health of Mrs.

Morgan warranted the longer route to this country. For five weeks previous, however, during the crucial period in the China revolution, in which Nanking was shelled, the Morgans had no knowledge of the safety of their daughter. Mrs. Morgan had borne the strain remarkably well, intimate friendi said this morning, although they believe it may have aggravated her condition. The preparation this morning preparatory to boarding the train was also advanced as a cause of the heart collapsing.

The Morgana were to have been joined at Mechanicsburg by Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Black, of that place. The Rev.

Hugh Curran Morgan, a son, returned from China last summer on a furlough after spending nearly six years in that country In educational work for the Methodist Board of Missions.

She was also president of the Carlisle Chapter of the American Association of University Women, and was chairman of the constitution and by-lays committee of the State association. She was the first chairman of the education committee of the Civic Club and served in that capacity for nearly twenty years. Illness forced her to resign last year, although she remained a member of the executive board.

She was cecretary of the Carlisle Fortnightly Club, a literary and social organization. Last October she resigned as a director of the Carlisle Y. W. C. A.

She had also been chairman of the association's religious education committee. Mrs. Morgan was born in Wil-liamsport, Ihe daughter of the late Prof, and Mrs. Hugh A. Curran.

She prepared for collpge ut Bloomsburg Normal School, where her father was principal, and entered Dickinson in 1886. Graduating with high honors in 1888, she was awarded the degree of bachelor of arts. Three years later Dickinson conferred the degree of master of arts on her. She was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity and a member of the first class of women admitted to the fraternity at Dickinson College. Her marriage to Doctor Morgan occurred on December 30, 1890, the latter then being professor of Greek at the college, from which he had graduated in 1878.

Professor Curran died about twelve years. ago and her mother, who lived with Mrs. Morgan during the closing years of her life, more than four years ago. Trustees of the Methodist Home expressed full regret when advised of Mrs. Morgan's death, but because a number came here for the meeting from distant points, it was deemed advisable to transact affairs essential to the home.
