Mail Orders Issued.—R. T. Morrow,
superintendent of the Pittsburgh divi
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad, has
Issued an order that hereafter trains
carrying too much mall to be thrown
off at stations. where stops are not
regularly made will stop instead of
having the bags kicked off while the
train is in motion pr carrying it on
to the next regular stop.
It has been the practice of the mail
clerks to throw the mall off at sta
tions where stops are not made and
this custom had often held even when
there was a large quantity of mail.
The result has been that mail bags
have been strung along the tracks for
some distance. In addition to this 1b
the danger of bags falling under the
train when extra large ones or a num
ber are thrown oft at once.

Low Fears Sherman
Law May Be Weakened
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 4.—"You have hit
the bull's eye, but it's the wrong tar
get," Seth Low, president of the Na
tional Civic Federation, told the House
judiciary committee to-day discussing
pending trust bills.
The definitions of forbidden com
binations proposed, he said, would in
clude labor unions, farmers co-opera
tive associations and preliminary rate
conferences by railway trafic agents
now approved* by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Laborers were entitled eo combine
for better wages or hours. Mr. Low
contended, although . combinations
such as boycotts which affected inter
state trade should be forbidden. He
feared any effort to define the pro
hibition of the Sherman law would
weaken that statute.
Ordinance to Widen

ing and widening of Cameron street,
from Maclay to a point in Wildwood
Park, near Division street, will be of
fered in City Council within the next

SCHOOL SECRETARIES
ORGANIZE HERE
D. D. Hammelbaugh Is Made Tem
porary Officer, of New
Body
Secretaries of the school districts
of the State met this morning for the
purpose of organizing an association
for mutual help. Two dozen .secre
taries of school boards from all parts
of the State assembled in the auditor
ium at Technical High School at 10
o'clock.
Little was done before noon except
the formation of a temporary organi
zation. R. E. Pelfeu, of Easton, was
made temporary chairman, and D. D.
Hammelbaugh, of this city, was made
temporary secretary. A committee
was appointed to prepare by-laws and
the plans for a permanent organiza
tion. This committee reported at 2
o'clock when the sessions were re
sumed. The sessions closed late this
afternoon.
On the committee are: W. J.
Flynn, of Erie; Charles H. Meyer, of
Johnstown; Howard F. Judd, of Beth
lehem; W. T. Norton, McKeesport;
D. D. Hammelbaugh, Harrisburg. Mr.

MISSION SOCIETIES TO MEET
The annual meeting of all the Luth
eran Missionary societies of Harrisburg,
Penbrook and Oberlin will be held in
Bethlehem Lutheran Churdch, Green
and Cumberland streets, to-morrow
evening, at 7:45 o'clock.
ANOTHER 300-MILE EVENT
Plans are already under way for an
other 300-mile motorcycle road race.
This event will be held on the famous
Santa Monica, Cal„ automobile race
course, and the probable date is March
25. The Santa Monica course Is con
sidered one of the very best in the
country, the road surface being prac
tically as smooth as a board track. It
Is believed by the promoters of the
event that the excellent records made
at the Savannah classic will be lowered
here.
Motorcyclists of Washington, D. C.,
are also considering an extensive road
race, covering 350 miles. Definite ar
rangements have not as yet been com«
pleted.
Owing to an unfortunate disagree
ment between the scorers, checkers and
timers, the exact time of the fastest lap
in the recent Savannah road race re
mains somewhat in doubt. Jones wu>
credited with the fastest lap in 9:05,
although this figure was admittedly a
"happy average" struck by the officials.
It is said that Mosher In reality made
the fastest lap In 10 flat, and at the
same time evidence exists to support
the claim of Carl Goudy, whose time
of 10:13 is said to have been the best
made In any one lap. In any event,
even a record of 10:13 for a lap of 11.25
miles in a striking illustration of the
power and stamina of both machine
and rider.
KIRK BROWN' IX "THE MATCH
MAKER" TONIGHT
Tonight brings one of the much
talked of events of Kirk Brown's en
gagement at the Majestic theater
this week. The play, "The Match
maker," the greatest vehicle that the
late Daniel Sully even had for the
many seasons that he was known as
the kindly father of the stage. In
assuming the character that gave Mr.
Sully such a wonderful reputation Mr.
Brown will be seen to splendid advan
tage. The scenic accessories will be
another feature of the performance
as Mr. Brown has gone to a special
expense In making this one of the
great events in his repertoire.—Ad

UNBEXED
By Borton lira Icy
It doesn't unsex her to toil in a fac
tory
Minding the .looms from the dawn
till the night;
To deal with a schoolful of children
refractory
Doesn't unscx her in anyone's sight.;
Work in a store—where her back
aches inhumanly—.
Doesn't unsex her at all, you will
note.
But think how exceedingly rough and
unwomanly
Woman would be if she happened
to vote!
To sweat in a laundry that s torrid and
torrlder
Doesn't subtract from her womanly
charm;
And scrubbing the flags in an echo
ing corridor
Doesn't unsex her —so where is the
harm?
It doesn't unsex her to nurse us with
bravery,
Loosing death's hand from its grip
on the throat;
But ah! how the voices grow
qulvery, quavery.
Wailing: "Alas, 'twill unsex her to
vote!"
She's feminine still when she juggles
the crockery,
Bringing you blithely the order you
give;
Toil in a sweatship where life is a
mockery
Just for the pittance on which she
can live—
That doesn't seem to unsex her a
particle.
"Labor Is noble" so somebody
wrote —
But ballots are known as a dangerous
article,
Woman's unsexed if you give her!
the vote! j

STRONG OPPOSITION
TO MORE SALOONS
Remonstrances Being Circulated
Against New Licenses in
Borough of Steelton
Strong opposition will be made to
the granting of the two new liquor li
censes for which applications have
been filed in the First AVard of Steel
ton.
Under the direction of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union and al
lied organizations, separate petitions
are being circulated against the ap
plication of David P. Baker for a hotel
license at 527-629-531-533-533% South
Third street and against John Shoop,
who wants permission to open a hotel
at Front and Mohn streets.
Against each of these places there
will be two separate remonstrances;
one will be signed by the English
speaking residents of the First Ward
and the other by the foreign citizens
of the ward. The Rev. A. K. Wier,
pastor of the Centenary United Breth
ren Church, is directing the circulation
of the petition among the English
speaking citizens, and the Rev. Har
wlck Arthur Lollis, of Trinity Episco
pal Church, assisted by .the Rev.
Father Gregory of the Bulgarian Or
thodox Church, and the Rev. Father
N. D. Vukichevich, of the St. Nicholas
Servian Orthodox Church, are circu
lating the petitions among the foreign
voters.
Each of these petitions ask the
court not to grant the new licenses on
the grounds that there are now enough
hotels here to adequately care for the

threw him against the wall. He was
brought to the Harrisburg Hospital

Purified Blood-SOLVES
Most of Sickoess Problems
People who have been poultlclngi
and anointing for years and years
marvel at the way S. 3. S. does the
work.
When you come to realize that the
skin and flesh beneath are composed
of a network of tiny blood vessels you
solve the mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal
properties in S. S. S. that follow the
course of the blood stream just as
naturally as the most nourishing food
elements.
Thousands know it to be really &
remarkable remedy. It contains one
I ingredient, the active purpose ot
which is to stimulate the tissues to
the healthy selection of its own es
sential nutriment. And the "medi
cinal elements of this matchless
blood purifier are just as essential to
well-balanced health as the nutrltous
elements of the meats, grains, fats
and sugars of our daily food," said a.
well-known physician.
Not only this, but if from the presence oC
some distributing poison there is a local or gen
eral Interference of nutrition to cause bolls,
carbuncles, abscesses, and kindred troubles..
S. S. S. so directs the local cells that thin
poison is rejected snd eliminated from theiD
presence.
Then, too, S. S. S. has such specific stimula
tion on these local cells as to preserve their
mutual welfare aud a proper relative assistance
to each other.
Not one drop ot minerals or drugs Is used la
Its preparation. Ask for S. S. S. and Just!
Insist upon having it. And if you dnslre sklllfnl
advice and counsel upon any matter concernlns
the blood and skin, write to the medical depart
ment, The Swift Specltlc Co., !!12 Swift Bldf.,
Atlanta, Ga.
Do not allow some zealous clerk to larrup th«
atmosphere In eloquence over something "just as
good" as 3. S. 9. Beware of all substitutes.
