    MWON'S STORY OF
TRIP THRILLS CUD
Pictures of Ice-covered, Wind
swept Continent Impressive;
• Animal Life Amusing
The audience that sat spell-bound
throughout the verbal moving picture
trip across the great Ice barrier of the
Antarctic with Sir Douglas Alawson in
the Maestic theater last evening, inci
dentally and indirectly had a sneaking
suspicion of why certain spike-hel
meted hosts are having such a worri
some time in Flanders.
The dogged. determined, never
know-when-he's-beaten spirit that
drove the Australian scientist and ex
plorer for miles and miles in the
darkness and bitter cold and biting
drift of a 100-mile South Polar bliz
zard—alone—is the same, one couldn't
help but believe that is backing the
stands in the trenches of Europe by
the men of Old England.
The battling spirit of Sir Douglas
and his party was only one impressive
feature of the lecture. It is safe to
say that the big audience that lilled the
house was never so alternately thrilled
iind horrified and amused. For while
the story Sir Douglas told and illus
trated was instructive and wonderful
ly interesting, it was replete with just
enough humor to give zest to it—and.
Incidentally to prove the fallacy of the
generally accepted characterization of
Englishman's sense of humor.

RELIGIOUS WAR IS
NARROWLY AVERTED
Father Zuvich, Croatian Priest, Is
Accused of Barring Church
Doors Against Serbians
President Wilson's declaration of
neutrality got a severe blow at Steel
ton to-day because of the alleged bar
ring of Serbians bearing the Hag of
their country from St. Mary's Cro
atian Catholic Church, by Father An
ton Zuvich, rector of the church.
This morning more than a dozen
Croatian societies with a total mem
bership of several hundred had plan
ned to celebrate the twentieth anni
versary of the St. Lawrence Cro
atian society. The members had in
vited several hundred Serbians.
A near riot resulted when Father
Zuvich, it is said, announced that he
would not allow the Serbian flair in
the Croatian Church. Hard feelings
wer i aroused on all sides, the Cro
atia ns taking the stand that Father
Zuvich's action was unwarranted and
that he was trying to raise race preju
dice. Joseph Verbos, president of the
St. Lawrence society, some time ago
told Father Zuvich of the celebration
to take place to-day and that the Ser
bians had been invited to attend.
Father Zuvich then stated that he did
not approve of their presence, it is al
leged.
When asked why he refused to allow
the Serbians to participate in the
celebration and services in the church
this morning, he said that his only
reason was that the Serbian flag rep
resented a different religion from that
of the Croatians, and ttjkt- the-present
war existing between the Countries in
Europe hai" nothing to do with it.
K. Pozega -said this morning, "The
Serbian flag was taken into the same
church before and no objections were
raised. This is a personal affair of
Father Zuvich's. There is no church
rule to prevent bringing the flag of
another religion into the church and
the Father knows it."
Publishes Accusation
Soon after the declaration of war in
Europe, John Krasic, editor of the
Xew York Croatian News, came to
Steelton, investigated and later pub
lished an accusation charging Father
Zuvich with advising his people to do
the Serbians bodily harm.
"Should Be Friends"
Stephan Kebrovic, of Pittsburgh,
secretary of the American Federation
of National Croatian Societies, said in
regard to Father Zuvich's action, "I
thing Father Zuvich did not show the
proper spirit in barring the Serbians
from church. 1 do not know much
about local conditions, but I endorse
the action of the local Croations in re
fusing to go back on their invited
guests, and remaining out of church.
So far as Europe is concerned, the na
tions there started the trouble, let
them finish it. We over here in
America should not take sides. Cro
atians and Serbians should be friends
here."
Corns Go! You Bet.
Just Use "Putnam's."
Nothing simple in the way Putnam's
Extractor clears away corns lt's
magical.
No more of the old-fashioned fuss
ing with pads, plasters and flesh-eat

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sen
sible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sago and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound" for about 50 cents a
bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb or a
•soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also produces that soft luster and ap
pearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff.
Itching scalp and falling hair.—Ad

scenes showing the excitement In vari
ous countries when the war broke out,
the mobilizing of armies and the de
parture of regiments to the front in the
first days of the great event, the spec

ORPHEUS!
The fine bill of Keith hits at the Or
pheum till", week Is certainly striking
the fancy of the local vaudeville de
votees. And this popularity is not
alone due to the exceeding cleverness
of Emma Carus and Carl Randall, the
musical comedy couple, who headline
the offering. They, of course, carry
away the big honors, but there are
three or four other big Keith hits on
the same bill that are pleasing Har
tisburg audiences Immensely. Not the
least important of these is the local
favorite, Bert Fitzgibbons, who styles
himself the "nobody • home" comedian.
Bert says he carries an extra amount
of insurance while he's In Harrisburg,
for ne thinks it necessary. But his jokes
are all new and so are his antics and
songs. When he tells a joke and
throws his hat and cane hither and
thither, his audience goes crazy with
him. The Welling Levering Troupe of
comedy bicyclists have no end of rl
dicuously funny things on wheels, and
a pretty girl, who can ride the wheels,
too. but who looks better. There's a
splendid group of singers in an act

NEARLY MILLION
DOLLARS IN GAME
Interesting Report Made to the
Legislature by the State Game
Commissioners
A report showing that almost a mil
lion dollars' worth of game was killed
In Pennsylvania last year has been
issued by the State Game Commis
sion. The statement shows that 2,-
736,556 pieces of legal game were kill
ed with a value of $940,674.18, which
does not include some birds.
The statement is the most complete
ever issued and is based on official re
ports. It shows the following kills:
Four hundred .thousand ruffed
grouse, 2,000,000 rabbits, 37,150 quail,
234,288 squirrels, 17,039 woodcock,
37,000 water fowl, 9,599 raccoons, 378
bear and 1,102 deer, or 2,736,556 pieces
of legal gsme weighing 5,259,301
pounds.
The report says the estimate does
not include the value of shore birds
killed, as will be noted above. To|
this might have been added the'value,
of the snipe and reed birds, at least,]
but was not done because same would
be difficult to ascertain.
"From June 1, 1913, to December 31,
1914, we pushed to a successful con
clusion 505 cases. We have lost but
two cases heard by courts; the case
of Commonwealth vs. Dickinson, in
Clearfield county, the defendant be
ing charged with killing a deer ille
gally, and the'ease of Commonwealth
vs. Capra, Pike county, the'defendant
being an alien, and charged
with having in possession certain guns
contrary to law. We feel that both of
these cases should have been won in
stead of lost. We have had report
ed about ten cases certiorated and
fost because of defective records, and
I«6t about the same number of cases
heard by justices."
ties'nips stripped for action and in war
array are impressive to a high degree.
Don't fail to see it to-day.
Another extra attraction offered by
the Victoria management to-morrow
will be "The Hoosier Schoolmaster." in
five parts. Don't forget it's "Bar

"THE MIKADO"
It. Russell Rupp, of Steelton, who
will sing the part of "Pooh-Bah" in
the coming production of the Harris
burg Operatic Society in the Majestic
Theater, on February 11 and 12, had
the distinction of singing accompanied
by an expert organist on the largest
pipe organ in the world at the World's
Pair at St.' Louis. He has a bass voice
of the deepest tones and makes an
unctuous "Pooh-Bah," and his basso
cantante adds color to a generally well
sung score. So well does he portray
this character that one can almost be
lieve the absurd character of a reality.

lie had' not given up hope of passage

prolongation of Monday's session de

clause of the Sherman law kept the
1893 the repeal of the silver purchase
clause of the Serman law kept the
Senate in continuous session for 38
hours and 45 minutes, a record for
that period and one that was not sur
passed until 2.45 this morning.
Still the opponents of the passage
of the shipping hill fought on, after
their record for endurance had gone
down as history. Senator Sherman,
who occupied the floor, discussed the
evuls of the government ownership as
Senator after Senator disappeared to
his home or committee room for a
little rest and a shift of janitors
moved about the chamber clearing up
the rubbish that had collected on the
floor during the two-day session.
Senator Lea, of Tennessee, presided,
and Senator Lee, of Maryland, con
stituted the entire majority side of
the chamber. Senators Smooth and
William Alden Smith, of Michigan,
were the only Republicans present for
hours in addition to Senator Sherman.
With their eyes badly swollen from
the strain of the extraordinary work
the regular force of official reporters
were compelled to give way, and new
stenographic reporters for the first
time in years, took their places on the
floor.
The period of calm early to-day
came only after a bitter struggle for
supremacy about midnight. The Re
publicans and their supporters on the
Democratic side ought to end the ses
sion but the motion to adjourn was
lost by a vote of 44 to 44.
On the other hand Senators Fletch
er and Stone attempted to get a vote
on the initial portions of the recom
mitment motion, namely the length of
tho term for which th e government
ship might be leased. Republican
Senators clamored in excitement for
the right to speak, but Senator Stone
j obtained the floor, cutting off Senator
McCumber's speech which had been
i planned to continue far into the morn
ing hours.
A parliamentary wrangle ensued
and the Democrats abandoned their
efforts to force a vote, although every
available Senator and Vice-president
Marshall were called to the chamber.
The encounter was marked by a ver
bal clash between Senators Stone and
Penrose as a result of which Senator
Penrose was taken to his hotel with a
temperature of over 100 degrees.
Only one attempt was made during
the early morning hours of Senator
Sherman's speech to take him from
the floor. With Senator James in the
chair for a few moments. Senator
Hughes made the point of order that
Senator Sherman was not discussing
the bill. Senator Sherman explained
that his remarks regarding the oper
ation of the parcel post system was
In order because they dealt with gov
ernment ownership. Senator Hughes
Anally withdrew his point, Senator
Kern, however, served notice that he
might renew the point later.
At 9.10 o'clock Senator Sherman
yielded to Senator Townaend, another

NEW MILITARY CODE
PROVIDED BY DILL
Changes Method of Selecting
Officers and Provides Engineer
and Signal Corps
A bill has been presented providing
a new military code for the State,
based upon the requirements of the
War Department in relation to a divi
sion organization of the National
Guard. The maximum of companies
of infantry has been reduced from one
hundred and enghty to one hundred
and fifty companies. The artillery
maximum has been increased from
live batteries to twelve.whlch will pro
vide for two regiments of Held artillery
of six batteries each. The bill also
provides for one regiment of cavalry,
which is now organized. It was pre
sented by Chairman Adams, of the
military affairs committee.
The necessary complement" of "engi
neer and signal corps organizations^'s
provided for, as well as field hospii.ns
and ambulance companies necessary
to form a properly balanced division.
Why "No Coffee"
For Children?
Many parents who drink coffee would not allow their
children to touch it.
The 2 1 / i grains of the drug, caffeine, in the average cup
of coffee, is far more injurious to the susceptible nature of a
child than to an adult, but, just as constant dripping will
wear away stone, so will the repeated doses of caffeine un
dermine the strongest constitution.
Parents who would protect their own health as they
do that of their children, will see the reason for quitting
coffee and using
POSTUM
This pure food-drink contains nothing that is harmful
or injurious, but is, on the contrary, healthful and invigor
ating,
Postum is easy to make; has a delightful snappy flavor, j
very much like Old Gov't Javas; and is good for both chil
dren and adults. { j
Postum is sold in two forms— Regular Postum, which !
requires boiling, 15c and 25c packages; Instant Postum, j
which is soluble in hot water made instantly in the cup,
30c and 50c tins.
Both kinds arc equally delicious, and the cost per cup
about the same.
"There's a Reason'' For POSTUM
—sold by Grocers everywhere
The only State having: such a divi
sion is ::ew York, and the only other
one that can possibly furnish a divi
sion is Pennsylvania, but whether or
not a division can be organized and
maintained will depend upon the In
crease to be made In the appropri
ation.
Another feature of the bill is the
change in the method of selecting
cimmissioned officers. Heretofore
tield oitlcers of regiments have been
elected by the line officers. The new
bill provides for their appointment by
the Governor. It also provides for tho
appointment by the Governor of cap
tains and first lieutenants of compan
ies, the men of tho company to elect
second lieutenants. It is believed this
method will secure a higher degree of
efficiency ,as oificers before being ap
pointed will be required to undergo an
examination to prove their fitness for
commission. Staff officers of regi
ments will bo appointed by regimental
commanders, as heretofore. The
quartersmasters' and subsistence de
partments will be consolidated and
known as quartermaster corps. In ail
other respects the new law will bo
practically the same as the present
law. The new bill will place the Na
tional Guard in an advanced position,
and practically conform to the re
quirements of the War Department,
as to organization, training and disci
pline.
The new bill should it become a law
will become effective on June 1, next.
