NEW CONSTITUTION
BEFORE THE HOUSE
Roney Bill Comes Out With
Amendments Reducing Size
of the Convention
The Roney bill, providing for a con
stitutional convention, the delegates to
he elected this Fall, was reported
affirmatively to the House at the night
.session. The committee on judiciary
general amended the bill to make the
number of delegates to be elected 16 5,
of which IB are to be appointed by
the Governor and three to be elected
in each senatorial district. The com
pensation of the delegates is to be
1750. The bill Is No. 1 on the list of
the present House and was presented
on January 25. It has caused much
discussion.
The anthracite coal tax hill was re
ported to the House by Mr. Elirhardt,
Lackawanna, soon after the opening
of the night session. It was amended
by the House ways and means com
mittee after a lively debate to provide
that there should be an equal division
of the tax between the commonwealth
and the municipalities producing the'
coal. The bill as presented as an
administration measure provided for
thd State to retain fiO per cent. The
tax rate remains unchanged.
The series of bills presented by Mr.
Forster, Philadelphia, to provide for
state supervision of recreation and
empowering second and third class
cities to name boards also came out
of committee.
Over forty bills were reported to
the House, among them betng those
providing four-year terms for county
commissioners, for salaries for officials
in small counties and for election of
viewers in Allegheny county. Senate
bills reported out included prohibiting
use of coloring matter in macaroni,
etc., empowering the Governor to close
portions of counties to hunting, au
thorizing county commissioners to

tinuing the engineers commission, ex
empting charitable bequests from col
lateral inheritance taxes, regulating
employes of the General Assembly, au
thorizing first class .townships to tax
dogs and providing for duties of city

to improvement loans.
Funmaking Clowns
Galore With Big Circus
Among the fifty clowns with the
Barnum and Ralley Greatest Show on
Earth are the representatives of ten
different countries, besides America.
The clown speaks a universal lan
guage. In this respect he has an ad
vantage over the stage comedian. Nn
matter if he does not know a word of
English, he ca make ah American boy
or man, or woman laugh. He
tells his stories with motions, antics
and grotesque paraphernalia.
It would be useless to bring a for
eign stage comedian to this country
If he could not speak English. He
would have to return home on his
trunk.. But a Persian clown who has
not enough English at command to
order a plate of ham and eggs can go
out on the sawdust of a circus arena
and make the biggest kind of a hit.
"With the Barnum and Bailey circus
are the greatest clowns in the world.
Several have for many years been
court comedians In the palace of the
sultan or Turkey.
These fellows are the children of
Old King Jolly. They Invented sun
shine and taught the children of men
how to laugh.
One of the things that has made
the Barnum and Bailey circus famous
is its clowns. The clowns of other
circuses have looked to them for ideas
and have copied them, but not with
any success, for the imitator is like
an Alaskan diamond that merely re
minds one of the genuine article and
disappoints rather than satisfies.
When the big show comes to Har
risburg on Thursday. May 6, the man
who has no mirth in his make-up had
better lock his door and climb under
the bed.* If he gets within a rod of
this nrmv of care-killers he will have
to surrender. A stone man could not
resist them. The performance has so
many thrills it needs a great deal of
comedy for ballast. The versatility of
ttiMe madcaps is pronounced. Their
work is carefully thought out and
dovetailed into the performance in a
most unexpected way. There are tall
clowns and short ones. There are fat
fellows who radiate humor and lean
chaps that compel laughter. They
seem to mistreat each other shame
fully at times, but that Is merely part
of their art. for they are good friends
They get tangled up with tricky air
ships, blow up In funny automobiles,
fall out of "rubber-neck" wagons, and
now and then are so unruly that the
clown policeman has to take them
off ip the blue wagon.
Among their various specialties are
an African hunting expedition, a voy
age to the North Pole, a trip to the
moon in a crazy aeroplane, a burlesque
bull fight and a hilarious barn dance.

COLD STORAGE iCT
SUB INSTITUTES
House Refuses to Pass the Re
pealer After a Prolonged De
bate Led by Wilson
The Clark Senate bill to repeal
Pennsylvania's cold storage act was
lost in a flood of oratory in the House
last night. It took over an hour for
all the speeches to bo made and the
act of 1918 was sharply attacked for
Its alleged drastic features and on the
ground that it gave unfair advantages
to people living in other states.
W. H. Wilson, Philadelphia, who
led the fight on the repealer, declared
It to be the most unfair bill of the
session and charged that there had
been trickery because the day the
Senate "canned" the proposed uniform
cold storage act the repealer started
on its way. He called attention to the
fact that the cold storage men had all
said at hearings that they favored
regulation and that now it was sought
to abolish all safeguards.
Mr. Reynolds. Philadelphia, urged
the repeal, as did Mr. Hey burn, Dela
ware, on the ground that it was un
fair to the people of the state, while
Mr. Steedle, Allegheny, declared it
brought no benefit. Mr. McNichol,
Philadelphia, a member of the cold
storage commissioYi, said at no time
was repeal asked of that body. Mr.
Walter, Franklin, also opposed repeal.
The House passed the bill author
izing street railway companies to op
erate lines of jitneys or motor cars in
connection with their systems. The
bill to require jitney lines to pay per
centages of gross receipts to public
treasuries and to give bonds for dam
ages due to accidents was dropped
from the calendar.
Must Hear Both Sides
The House passed the bill requiring
magistrates upon preliminary hearing
of all cases, except those involving
heinous crimes, to hear the accused
and persons in behalf of accused.
The birt requiring registers and
call records on telephones on limited
service was recommitted.
Bills passed finally:
Establishing salaries in Department
of Public instruction.
Prohibiting Sunday fishing.
Fixing pay of register assessors in
boroughs and townships at $2.60 per
day at primary elections.
Requiring all state officials and at
taches handling public money to give
bonds, to be paid for by the State.
The House refused to reconsider the
hill to exempt agricultural companies
from state tax.
Three bills were defeated, as fol
lows:
Allowing hotels and cafes to dilute
cream served to the public.
Regulating costs in appeals to the
Supreme and Superior Courts.
Regulating poor districts compris
ing a second class city.
The bill placing a one-mil! tax on
capital of manufacturing and laun
dering companies was recommitted.
The House passed the Vare reso
lution for a constitutional amendment
regulating recording of deeds.
The Senate bill for "bird day" was
negatively reported.
The bill regulating deposit of county
funds was reconsidered.
The House adjourned at 10.55.

GOVERNOR FOND OF
■ISBIK BABIES?
He Is and He's Going to Prove
How Much He's Interested by
Introducing Mr. Kelsey
Governor Brumbaugh likes Harris
burg babies.
At any rate he's very much inter
ested in them and in the movements
that aim for the improvement and de
velopment of the youngster, especially
the wee folks who, by force of circum
stances, cannot have the best wicker
coach or newest ivory rattle.
The Governor let his interest in
babies be known when he consented
to introduce Albert Kelsey in Fahnes
tock Hall Friday evening when Mr.
Kelsey gives an interesting picture
talk on tropical Mexico for the benefit
of the Pure Milk Society fund. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh while in Philadel
phia, helped organize and develop this
work in connection with the schools
and he has kept in close touch with
the various phases of the movement.
The Governor may tell of some of his
experiences in that line in introducing
Mr. Kelsey.

NEW DRESS FASHIONS AND WAR
The dressmaking establishments in
England are confronted with a prob
lem in the solution of which they may
be obliged to call' upon the American
manufacturers for assistance.
Mr. Bartlett, chief of the Foreign
Trade Bureau, writes from London
that nearly all of the principal shops
and department stores dealing in
ladies' dresses report an almost nor
mal demand with an Increasing ten
dency to accept a later fashion of
wider skirts. Because a majority of
the mills, which ordinarily turned out
dress goods are now engaged in the
NEURALGIC PAINS
These may be felt in any nerve of the
body but are most frequent in the
•nerves of the head. Neuralgia may bo
caused by a decayed tooth, eye-strain
or a diseased ear, but the most com
mon cause is -general debility accom
panied by anemia, or thin blood.
For this rtason women who work
too hard or dance too much and who
do not get sufficient rest, sleep and
fresh air, are the most frequent suf
ferers from neuralgia and sciatica,
which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
Nutrition for the nerves is the cor
rect treatment for neuralgia and the
only way to nourish the nerves ia
through the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills supply to the blood Just the ele
ments it needs to increase its capacity
to carry nourishment to starved nerves.
They have proved helpful in so many
cases of neuralgia and sciatica that
any sufferer from these troubles is
fully Justified in giving these pill* „
trial. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills con
tain no harmful or habit-forming

When you come to buy a car remember
that what you see—the mere appearance—is
not all to consider. Nor is it wise to be over
impressed by specifications. The things you
never can see—the "hidden" values—deter
mine the worth of a car.
So the final, the real , inquiry is, "What
about the Company that makes the Car?"
Be sure to find out about the Company as
I well as the Car.
The CASE Company was founded in 1842.
For over 70 years it has kept its faith with
men all over the world. CASE machinery
is acknowledged as a standard by which
others are judged. You profit by the am
bition of the CASE Company to perpetuate
a worthy name.
The CASE Car—remarkably handsome—
is built from real specifications. Its visible
values are backed by its invisible values.

Of the popular priced cars, the CASE Car
costs you least, we maintain, because of
"extra" accessories which in these cars is
regular equipment. Our price is $1350 —

comes equipped with extra tire and tube on Rim
