ACTIVITIES IN THE REALM OF SOCIETY AND PERSONAL NOTES OF INTEREST FORTY JOIN RED CROSS FIRST AID One of the City's Largest Classes Will Start on Weekly Lessons Forty members were enrolled last evening in the new first aid class organized under the auspices of the Harrisburg Chapter of the Red Cross, which met in the Red Cross room at the Public Library, with Dr. Louise H. Taylor in charge. This is one of the largest numbers of registrants entered in the first aid classes conducted in this city. The course will comprise fifteen lessons and meetings will be held on Wednesday evening of each week. At 8:30 o'clock, in the basement of the Public Library. Dr. Taylor addressed the class last evening concerning the very first requirements of a first aid worker. "To keep one's head in case of accident, to keep the curious crowd away and to render first aid in such manner that one may be able to place the patient in trained hands in the best possible condition in the shortest possible time," seem to be essential in all cases, according to Dr. Taylor, which advise was followed by an interesting discourse touching on different phases of the work. Dr. Taylor gives her services and the fee of fifty cents goes to the Red Cross. Each member is asked to buy a first aid book which costs thirty-five cents. The only other expense attached to joining a first aid class is the cost of unbleached muslin, two and a half yards of which is required for bandages. Old muslin sheets may be used for the same. The room is exceedingly well equipped for a first aid class and Dr. Taylor will exhibit a skeleton during her course of instruction which will help greatly with the lessons.

Believe Isolation Hospital Can Be Fitted for County The county commissioners probably will determine within the next fortnight whether the county will take over the city's isolation hospital and then remodel and enlarge it so as to convert it into a general county contagious disease hospital. The commissioners and representatives of the City Health Bureau and the Directors of the Poor inspected the building yesterday and all agreed that its condition of repair is not so bad and that an expenditure necessary to put the hospital in shape for use until a permanent building can be provided, would be warranted. Electric lights, changes to the sewer system, repainting and the addition of a small building is all the hospitals needs, the officials think. But because the trip yesterday merely was one of inspection, nothing was decided definitely and another meeting of the inspectors will be held next week before the county heads made a decision. Those on the inspection trip were: County Commissioners Cumbler and Stine; City Commissioner Hassler, B. Frank Snavely, president, and J. William Bayles, secretary of the Board of Poor Directors; Dr. John M. J. Raunick, Dr. Allen Z. Ritzman and Dr. William V. Hughes, of the City Health Bureau.

Smith's Death Recalls the Bardsley Expose Former Banking Commissioner Smith, who died yesterday at Philadelphia, and was widely known here, having served under six Governors as examiner and head of the Banking Department, was one of the original newspaper sleuths of Philadelphia. He worked as a reporter on half a dozen newspapers, starting at the age of 15 years on the old Star. It was while serving the Star as city editor that he published a sensational article relative to John Bardsley, then chairman of Councils 'Finance Committee, whose reform tactics had earned him the nicknames of "Honest John" and "the watchdog of the treasury." Through the Star Mr. Smith accused "Honest John" of having failed to pay real estate taxes and gas bills for years, and a list of specific instances was published. Not long afterward, while Bardsley was City Treasurer, he was convicted of defrauding the city and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary, but was pardoned after he had served about a third of his sentence.
