BLUMENSTINE Electric Wiring, Electric Repairs, and Electric Supplies 14 South Court Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 177 South Front Street, Steelton, Pa. tequires time nd our motto is that anything that's worth doing is worth doing w-ilL John S. Musser, Pres. The eight cities represented ia the allegorical groups which adorn the South Market street facade of the fire- I wrecked Broad Street Station at Phil adelphia, train-shed, will receive the sculptures according to Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania railroad.

The offer was made to the various cities, and immediately acceptances were received from Cincinnati. Boston and Washington, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and New York are yet to be heard from. It is probable that the piece which represents Philadelphia will go to this city, although no decision has been made for its disposal. Cincinnati will be the first city to re- cieve a group, as the one representative of the city has already been removed and is awaiting shipment. The work of removal is not easy.

It is necessary to erect a scaffold over the facade and chisel away the figures with care to preserve each detail. These groups have been pronounced to be among the bst works of Karl Bitter, a sculptor who camo to this country from Vienna in 1SS9. In 1902 he received the commission to decorate the station. The work, although in terra-cotta, is remarkably well-preserved. The bas-relief used on the pieces is employed on a grandeur scale in the allegorical figure of Transportation, in the main waiting room.

DEMOLAY BOYS' SOCIETY PeMolay is a boys' fraternity for the sons of Master Masons and their chums, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, teaching love of parents, reverence, patriotism, purity, fidelity and comradeship. Its purpose is to make better boys, better men and better citizens. It is rendering a real service in the community life by insisting on the practical application of the ideals exemplified in the degrees. The present day tendency of the average American boy is to live in a world apart from his parents is an-casioned by the mad rush of modern civilization. The complexity of modern life, especially in the larger cities, requires the constant lime, attention and interest of the average school boy in the affairs of his school, his classes, his clubs and other fraternal organizations.

he has so many outside interests that his time and attention are taken away from the environment of the home, with the result that the old type of family life, of close association between parents and their children, tends to disappear. It is the aim of DeMolay and should he the object of every organization interested in boys, to inculcate in their minds a wholesome affection for the home and family and a regard for the institution of respectability. NEW MOON ROADSTER ON THE MARKET The new 6-40 Moon roadster recently announced by the Moon Motor Car Company is now in production and de-livernes to dealers have started. The Moon roadster accomodates 3 passengers comfortably and bears that distinctiveness for which all Moon cars are noted. It Is beautifully finished in the popular Versailles Blue with genuine hand-buffed, Spanish leather upholstery, which together with the silvered radiator or nickle head lamps and other nickel and aluminu mtouches make the roadster a motor car of unusual individuality and class.

SAYS MINNEAPOILS "DRIEST" U. S. CITY Minneapolis, Aug. 4 Minneapolis is the "driest" city of its size in the United States according to S. B.

Quail, Federal Prohibition Director for the State of Minnesota. He asserts that this claim will be admitted by even the most rabid foes of Volsteadism here. While the Federal prohibition agent does not claim that it is not possible to obtain a drink here, it is, he said, difficult. And, he claims, there are not many drinks to be had. Many factors have combined to give Minneapolis the right to this claim, Quaile declared.

Chief among the weapons in the hands of the prohibition unit, he said, were the issuing of "stiff" sentences by the courts to violators arrested and the frequent use of the abatement law. The latter has proven specially effective the prohibition chieftan of Minnesota asserted. Also of no small importance in the successful fight waged against illicit traffic in liquor here, it was pointed out, was the co-operation given the Federal authorities by the city, county and state authorities. Conditions are reported as improving throughout the State by Director Quaile, who recently made a survey of conditions generally. COURT REVISES CONDUCT OF BIG-HEARTED FATHER Chicago, Aug.

4 Howard Gaskell may think he's a big-hearted parent, bnt what his wife thought had much more weight with the Domestic Relations Court -of Chicago. Not nlydoes he refuse to hold onto a jab, she complained, and not only does lie gamble one night and fish the next, bnt he brings kobs of ice cream horrc to his children late at night so that they eat themselves sick and then can't sleep. The Court was aghast at the revelations. It ordered Gaskell to pay his wife SI 5 a week and not to be so naughty. Freckles Champion? Findlay, Ohio, Aug.

4 John Robert McDowell, nine, is said to have enough freckles to make Wesley Barry's face resemble the features of a spotless egg. He has been offered one hundred dollars a week to affiliate with a moving picture concern in Los Angeles and share his freckles with movie fans, according to Mrs. John S. Wilson, of Lima, his aunt. She says her nephew will accept the offer.

K. C. MIME Montreal, Aug. 4 The largest convention ever held in the history of the Knights of Columbus will informally begin tomorrow, Sunday, August 5. From the 57 state jurisdictions of the organization In Canada, the United States, Mexico, Porto Rico.

Cuba, the Philippines, Panama and Hawaii, will have thousands of delegates and visitors arriving at Montreal. The advance demands for hotel accomodations indicate that many thousands of visitors, apart from delegates, that will attend. Special excursion parties are being run from all points in the United States and Canada. George II Boivin. M.

Supreme Dictator of the K. of C. in Canada, estimates that the convention. despite the distance from the American Middle West, where lies the center of the K. of C.

membership population, will draw approximately ten thousand visitors in addition to the qualified delegates representing the 2100 and more councils of the Order. The convention actually got under way today when Supreme Knight J. A. Flaherty, of Philadelphia, called the meeting of the supreme board of directors. Tomorrow the board will continue to meet, and Monday the convention organization process will get under way far the formal opening on Tuesday.

The opening will be preceded ou Tuesday morning by one of the largest parades ever held in Montreal, when thousands of local Knights will lead their visiting brothers to the Church of Notre Dame, the largest on the continent, where the solemn pontifical mass that opens the K. of C. conventions will be celebrated. Following the mass the convention will be formally opened after cere monious receptions by the ecclesiasti cal and civil authorities of Montreal. Supreme Knight James F.

Flaherty is to be in lie chair when the convention is called to order at Mount Royal Hotel. The deliberations of the convention will occupy three days, August 7, 8. and the first session of the second day being taken up with the election of officers and directors for the ensuing two cr three year The most important matters to come before the convention will be the vast K. of C. educational and hospitalization work, the $1,000,000 Italian welfare work being taken under the auspices of the Holy See.

The convention will be preceded by a banquet on Monday evening tendered by the Montreal Chapter to the Supreme officers and directors of the Order, to which many prominent men have been invited, including Prime Minister Mackenzie King, of Canada; Commander Owsley, of the American Legion, and high church dignitaries of the Province of Quebec; Archbishop Gauthier, of Montreal, who will deliver an allocution In Notre Dame to the Knights. PASTOR CARVES UP 3 DURING SERVICE Lineville, Aug. 4 Itev. J. B.

Ivey, pastor of the Lineville negro Methodist Church, does not allow even the presiding elder of the circuit to interfere in the direction of services and the minister wields a wicked knife. Three members of the pastor's church are in a serious condition here as a result of an alleged attack upon them by Ivey during a service at which the presiding elder was a guest and the officiating minister. Rev. W. Allen, presiding elder, called upon an organist to perform whom the minister had decreed should not play, and Ivey made an effort to demolish the organ.

The organists husband appeared so did the minister's knife. The husband's brother chipped in literally. Then came a church officer. The three went down before the cutting arguments of the minister. The services ended pronto, and the minister has been lodged in jail.

SPEED "COPS" AWAIT RECKLESS MOTORISTS Madison, Aug. 4 Wisconsin's many state and county highways, which in the past have tempted motorists to step on it, will shortly be lined with waiting speed cops. A bill authorizing the placing of traffic officers along State and county roads to reduce the number of accidents attributed to fast and reckless driving has received executive approval and become effective. The new speed "cops" will be equipped with badges, but will also serve at road patrols. Any highway commissioner can obtain additional deputies by application to the sheriff of the county affected under the law.

RECOVERS RING SHE SENT WITH LAUNDRY St. Paul, Aug. 4 When Mrs. James E. Clancy, of this city, retired for the night recently she was unable to go to sleep.

She was positive there was something wrong somewhere. Suddenly she remembered that her three diamond rings, valued at $S00 had been pinned to a nightgown sent to the laundry. The police were notified. At 2 a. m.

a squad of bluecoats arrived at the laundry and, after several hours of searching, found the rings. Thereupon Mrs. Clancy again retired and slept soundly. WAJERDAY PROJECT IS AGAIN DISCUSSED Moscow, Aug. 4 Rumours are current that the Government is taking up again the old idea of providing water connection between Petrograd and the Caspian Sea, via the River Vilga, by the cleansing and modernization of the canal system.

The co-operation of the State Bank is proposed. 1924 OLYMPIC! London, Ang, 4 Great Britain Is pic eames athlete a snme reports would indicate. It might be going too far to forecast England as a winner of the 1324 games in Paris, but it is entirely safe to predict tfhat 'athletes from the British Isles will give an excellent account of themselves. In fact there is good grounds for saying that England, as viewed from t'i present standpoint, will be very much in the running all the way. In the British Amateur Atjhlctic Association Championships held early in July there were a number of performances that may well be studied by athletes from the United states anil elsewhere who plan to compete in the next Olympiad.

The marks established in several of the events will, as the British say, take a lot of beating. The outstanding performance was that of K. II. Liddell. the Scottish champion.

Liddell set a new British record for the loO yard dash and stepped the century in such fast time that he stands forth as a dangerous challenger for Paddock, Scholz, or anv of the other dash men from the United States who may compete at Paris. Liddell Dangerous. LMdell, in fact, stepped the 100 yards twice in one afternoon in less than 10 seconds. In the trial heat ho won easilv, with a mark of 9 4-5 seconds. In the final event he won the nice, with the watches recording' hi.i time at 7-10 seconds, or just a shade over the 9 3-5 second mark.

Still more remarkable is the fact that the two men who trailed Liddell in the final N'ichol and Mathew-man were so close behind that both wede well under the lo-second mark at the finish. With three men of that calibre eligible for the Olympic team Britain is pretty certain to show up well at Paris in the century. Liddell later added to his reputation by winning the 220-yard dash in the very pood time of 21 3-5 seconds. Performances by other athletes in other events made it clear that England will not send a "one man team" to Paris. F.

R. Gaby climbed the high hurdles in the fast time of 15 1-5 seconds, lowering the British record, held by Kraenzlein, the great University of Pennsylvania hurdler, since 1900. Gaby won by inches from L. F. Partridge, and Tevis Huhn, the American Rhodes scholar at the heels of the flying Britishers.

In the 440-yard dash, an American, E. Stevenson, also a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, finished winner in 49 3-5 seconds. G. M. Butler, of Cambridge, was so close to Stevenson at the tape that he was well under a 50-second pace.

In the mile run H. B. Stallard was not pressed, but he finished in the good time of 4.21 3-5. French Win Jump High jump honors went to a French man, 1. Yewden, who cleared tne bar at 6 feet 4 inches.

Lots of championship events have been won at a lower height. The Englishmen did not show so well in the field events, but the mark of 161 feet 4 1-2 inches made by M. C. Nokes in the hammer-throw is not to be sneezed at. Then there is M.

C. Abrahams, the Cambridge star, who has been seen in action in the United States. Abrahams is a very capable sprinter, but his forte seems to be the broad jump. In the A. A.

championships he won this event with a leap of 23 feet 3-4 inches, and the men who finished second and third both exceeded 22 feet. It will be seen from the foregoing that England possesses some capable athletes. Just now the officials of the British Olympic Games Association, enthusiastically supported by the press, are engaged in a compaign to raise funds to insure that all the latent athletic talent of the Empire is brought out and proi-rly trained. Enhmd is becoming deadly in earnest over the rebuilding of its athletic prestige, and if there is any spirit of apathy in the United States over the 1H24 Olympiad it would be well for those interested to wake up. TELLS AMERICAN TRADE FALLACIES Columbus, Aug.

4 "We are just beginning to learn the the lesson in foreign trade that selling means buying," declared Dr. Edwin T. Todd, of Miami University, addressing a local audience. "We pay for goods with the goods or service. A surplus of exports does not necessarily spell continued prosperity, as we are now beginning to see clearly." "An excess of gold in the United States is proving as great a burden as an excess of imports which may take away Trof.

Todd said, discussing "Barriers to America's Foreign Trade" and he favored less restrictive shipping legislation and less government in the shipping business. "American registry and other restrictive laws have done more to the detriment of American shipping than any ship subsidy bill can repair," continued Dr. Todd. Advocating a more thorough knowledge of the foreign customs and colloquialisms of foreign languages, he said: "Many an American business man wonders why he failed to sell his goods in Brazil, for example, merely because he has written his letters in Spanish instead of Portuguese." Defy Sleep 97 Hours Trieste, Ang. 4 A fantastic competition held here to determine how loup it was possible to go without sleep was won by two young men who remained awake for 97 hours 50 minutes continuously.

Competitors were expected to be wide awake, merry and bright, while funeral marches and lullabies were played. 1 FOR YOUR VACATION OR PICNIC Get your old shoes cleaned up. We clean all kinds of shoes White Canvas, Buck Skin, Kid or Black. We make them look like new. Come and give us a trial.
