WILDMAN BILL IS
SENT TO SENATE
Measure Provides For the Comple
tion of the State Arsenal on
Original Plans
The Wildman bill to provide for
completion of the State Arsenal was
passed finally last night in the House.
It carries $72,000, of xvhtch $52,500 is
to finish the building, the balance
being for the retaining wall and-drive
ways. The lower story has been com
pleted.
The JLoue bill requiring all funds
not needed for current expenses in
counties having less than 250,000
population to be put at interest was
defeated, receiving 102 votes or two
short of the number required. It was
defeated some days ago, but recon
sidered, and when the vote was an
nounced last night the accuracy of
the result was challenged by its spon
sor, Mr. Kuhn, Greene, and Mr. Wil
son, Jefferson. A verification was
demanded because the vote was given
as 86 ayes to 58 noes. The verifica
tion was attended by so much dis
cussion that Mr. Flynn, Elk, de
nounced it as "a farce." ,
The House passed finally the Dunn
bill carrying an appropriation of
SIO,OOO and providing for a commis
sion to be named by the Governor to
assist in the celebration of Tndepend'
enie Day in Philadelphia this year.
The House also passed the Senate
bills authorizing incorporation in the
Arbor Day proclamation of provision
for observance of "Bird Day" and to
permit a woman living apart from
her husband for a year or more to
engage in business on her own ac
count.
The general appropriation bill car
rying over $32,000,000 for conduct of
the State government' was amended
on third reading to provide that no
part of the Attorney General's ap
propriation may be used .for expenses
of the Catlin commission of 1911, on
motion of W. H. Wilson, Philadel-
A |. 'I "L Every man when cleaning out the
I^lo * VUIO A HflVcS crank.' case of his engine has seen
t a black, gritty substance that he
has taken for sand or dirt. Friend,
** *UI VJIII 111 that isn't dirt. It's the little
• particles of steel that imperfect
tkp C iMI*Q lubrication permits to grind off
' UKS UCC " S in the daily whirl of travel. The
same thing is going on in the gears
and bearings. "But," you say, "how can that be when I put in good lubri
cants?" Oil and grease alone will never prevent this grinding. Friction is
the'constant filing over each other of little microscopic pins and roughnesses
that are found even in the most highly polished bearings. Oil and grease
merely smear these over.' Heat thins the oil or grease and it runs in and
out of these roughnesses. They are constantly wearing away and breaking
off. There is only one way to put a stop to this mischief. Dixon's selected
flake graphite as combined in Dixon's Graphite Greases makes a lubricant
that fills up every surface irregularity and puts an unctuous, smooth veneer
over the entire bearing, so that metal cannot come in contact with metal.
The more it is rubbed, the more brilliant finish and polish it takes on.
There is only one form of flake graphite that will do this trick, and this is
produced only by the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company. A car thoroughly
lubricated with Dixon's Graphite Automobile Lubricants gives greater
satisfaction than any car doped with m |
any other lubricant. Buy a can of Vif Y||W

PROFANITY AMONG FARMERS
Farm and Firesidfe has recently con
tained some references to profanity
among farmers. In the current Issue
J. P. Barber writes a letter in which
he "regrets the fact that so many farm
ers use swear words. He says that in
all his life he has never uttered a
word of profanity. He adds that his
brother's record is just as clean as
his. In the following extract taken
from his letter he adds:
"I account for it by the fact that we
had the training of Christian parents
who seriously and faithfully warned us
of the fact that to use the name of
God in vain is a great sin.
"So I remember very distinctly that
when within hearing of profanity I
shuddered and was so disgusted that
I had no disposition to follow the ex
ample of my associates. This feeling
has remained with me through lite.
"I never allow boys or men to use
profanity on my premises. A few
years ago when we were filling our
silo one of the helpers, a well-to-do
and rather prominent farmer, began
at the dinner table to deliver him
self of some very profane words,
whereupon, as host. I immediately in
formed dhdim that it must be stopped,
that it was against the rules of our
house. That ended it, and I could see
at once that my little display of grit
was heartily appreciated by the rest of
the crowd.
"It is wonderful what cowards these
profane blusterers are."

Chaplain Pray» That Americans
Should Appreciate the Blessings
of Their Home >
Notice was taken of the sinking of
the Lusitania In the House last night,
a resolution and a prayer being offered.
The resolution came from Mr. Adams,
Luzerne, who called upon the Presi
dent to exact reparation. His reso
lution aroused a storm of "noes! and
it was laid over under the rules.
The resolution was as follows;
"Whereas on the seventh day of
May the Lusitania, a transatlantic pas
senger vessel carrying neither guns
nor other weapons of war, was at
tacked by a submarine belonging to
the German nation and without warn
ing or opportunity for escape sent to
the bottom of the sea many hundreds
of defenseless men, women and chil
dren, and among them more than one
hundred American people; and
"Whereas such a deed, unknown to
the laws of war or the principles of
civilization, constitutes a personal af
front to the American nation and calls
for such action on the part of this
country as will secure the speediest
reparation and a guarantee against re
currence; therefore, be it
"Resolved by the House of Repre
sentatives of the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
That this House condemns the action
of the German nation as a dastardly '
deed worthy of none save a barbarous
and uncivilized people; that the de
testable act being a personal affront
to this nation cails from the President
of the United States the most drastic
action In securing from the German
nation an apology for its barbarous
conduct, reparation to the fullest de
gree for the destruction of American
lives and property and an uncon
ditional guarantee that its heinous con
duct manifested in this cowardly deed
will never again be permitted by it to
occur; and be it further
"Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the President of
the United States."
The chaplain, the Rev. F. W. Staley,
offered the following prayer:
"Almighty God. we thank Thee that
Thou hast revealed unto us that
heaven is Thy throne and the earth
is Thy footstool and that Thou dost
say unto individuals and nations and
governments and kings and empires
'Thus far shalt thou go and no far
ther.' We thank Thee that some of
us have learned by experience that
war knows no pity, no humanity, no
brotherhood, only cruelty, death and
destruction, as seen in the sinking of a
great ship with its hundreds of passen
gers, a disaster which has shocked the
entire world, and the lesson coming
out of that disaster is that the safe
place for the American citizen is upon
American soil, upon American ships
and under the American flag.
"We earnestly pray Thee, O God,
to-night that Thou wouldst endow the
President of the United States and his
advisers with Divine wisdom and ex
pert diplomacy to solve these critical
and dangerous problems with the
diplomats of the nations, and may he
realize that he has back of him a
hundred million of patriotic, united
and God-fearing people whose prayer
shoijld go up 'Father, forgive them
for they know not what they do,' and
tinto the Father and the Son and the
Holy Ghost we will ascribe everlasting
praise In Thy world without end,
Amen."
German Resolution In Senate
Senator Jenkins presented a reso
lution in the Senate last evening call
ing upon President Wilson to be firm
in his dealings with Germany in the
' present and pleading the Penn
sylvania Legislature's support to any
thing he may deem necessary. The
resolution was referred to committee
and the understanding is it will not
be reported out.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PUBLIC SERVICE
REJECTS COIMT
Action Taken in Williamsport Case
That Hat Aroused Much Atten
tion in the State
The Public Service Commission has j
refused to approve a contract made by
the city of Williamsport with the Clti- j
zens' Electric Company for the light- j
ing of the streets, parks and public i
places of that city.
The case involves unusual features.
ami in its treatment of it the commis- I
siori cites a number of authorities, in- j
eluding an opinion of Justice Brown, ;
of the Supreme Court, in support of its 1
position. The cftty solicitor of Wil- !
liamsport also shares the views of the
commission, but notwithstanding his
advice he was overruled by the coun
cils of Williamsport and the contract
with the electric light company was
sent to the commission for approval.
It appears that the city advertised
for bids upon forms and specifications
which contained no specifications or
condition as to the length of time, to
be allowed for the erection of poles,
wires, etc. The bid of the Citizens'
company, which was accepted by ordi
nance approved November 17, 1914,
set forth that it be given a reasonable
period of time after the approval of the
contract to erect its poles, wires, lamps
and other apparatus, and on December
18 council by ordinance fixed a period
of six months as the time within
which these appliances should be in
stalled.
The facts show that the contract
which was actually made by the com
pany with the city contained a ma
terial term and condition which made
it a different contract from that upon
which under the specifications, pro
posal and advertisement the bids were
Invited. "For this reason." says the
commission, "we are of opinion in ac
cordance with the contention of the
counsel for the Lycoming-Edlson Com
pany. Protestant, and as expressed in
the opinion given by the city solicitor
of Williamsport to the council of that
city, that the said contract was not
'given to the lowest responsible bidder'
as required by the expressed provisions
oi' Section V of Article 3 of the act of
June 27, 1913, governing the making
of contracts of this character by cities
of the third class and that the con
tract so attempted to be made is there
fore illegal, null and void."
The commission explains that the
question is not whether there was
actual fraud In the awarding of the
contract, but whether in the specifica
tions and proposals upon which the
bids have been invited a common
standard has been fixed by which to
measure the respective competitive
bids; otherwise there cannot be said
to be any real competition in the bid
ding or an award of the contract to
the lowest responsible bidder, which
the statute imperatively requires.
The position of the Supreme Court,
which sustains the position of the cum
: mission, was given in the case of Ed
linmdson vs. the Board of Public Edu
cation of the school district of the citv
of Pittsburgh, decided March 22. 1915.
In that case the Supreme Court, re
versing the decree of the court below,
held that a contract made by the
Board of Public Education of the
school district of the city of Pittsburgh
for the construction of a school build
ing was null and void under the pro
visions of the school code requiring
that such contract shall be awarded to
the lowest and best bidder because the
specifications and proposal failed to
designate «iny date for the completion
of the building.
Novelist Went Down
on the Lusitania
JL'STUS MILES FORMAN
Justus Miles Forman, novelist and
playwright, who was crossing 't'a?
Atlantic with Charles Frohman, the
theatrical producer, was among the
Americans who is believed to have
gone down on the Lusitania. He and
Mr. Frohman and Charles Klein, the
playwright, made up a party on the
trip.
Mr. Forman was on his way to
France to act as correspondent for
the New York Times. Just before he
went down on the dock to board the
Lusitania he received a warning by
telephone not to sail on the ship.
This fact has been recalled by a ser
vant in the house, who said that a
German voice unknown to the author
had told him over the telephone that
he was taking great chances, and that
the ship would certainly be blown up.
Still another warning is said to have
been given Mr. Forman before he
sailed.
Mr. Fornian was long known as a
writer of short stories and novels.
But recently he made his first appear
ance, as a playwright. His drama,
"The Hyphen," which had its open
ing night at the Knickerbocker thea
ter. New York, not long ago, was gen
erally taken as an an'tlGerman piece.
His only other connection with the
drama was in the dramatization of one
of his novel. "The Garden of Lies,"
which was produced at St. James'
theater, London, in 1905. Mr. For
man's popularity as an author is as
great in England as in America. It
had been his custom to spend much
of his time in England and France.
He has Journeyed extensively
through Europe, Australia, New Zea
land and the South Pacific Islands.
Much of the material in his novels
and stories was gathered on these
travels.
Mr. Forman was born in Le Roy.
N. Y.i November 1, 1875, and was
graduated from Yale in 189 S. From
his graduation until 1901 he attended
the Ecole Junien. Paris. He never
married.

We have always had a very large demand for $lB, S2O and $25
clothing of the Sides & Sides standard and this season is no excep
tion. We have, however, always been handicapped for space, now
that we have decided to retire from Hat business it will enable us
to in future feature these lines, so we are making arrangements
for Fall 1915 accordingly. In order to meet this demand for this
season we will offer our present stock of highest grade clothing,
which was bought to sell from $25 to $45 at exactly V 3 off; this is
an opportunity to obtain right at season's start a suit at 33 1-3
per cent, less than its actual value. Our slogan for Fall 1915 is
$lB, S2O, $25; keep this uppermost in your mind when,considering
clothing. Of course we will continue to handle the better grades,
but will have large variety of popular price Suits and Overcoats.

Recipes For Wrinkles
and Bad Complexions
Of all the beauty recipes that have
been published, here are two that have
successfully stood the test of time:
Wrinkle Remover—One ounce pow
dered saxolite, dissolved in >4 pint
witch hazel. Use as a wash lotion. It
brings instantaneous results.
Face Peeler—Pure mercolized
applied at night like cold cream,
, not rubbed in; wash oft in the morning.
It causes the wornout scarf skin to
come off in tiny, almost invisible ilakes,
a little each day. until the fresh younc
under-skin is wholly In evidence. Tim
beautiful rose-tinted complexion thus
obtained is not to be compared with
one made over with cosmetics. If the
old skin is marred with freckles,
pimples or other blemishes, these de
fects are of course discarded with the
skin itself. An ounce of the wax is
sufficient in any case.
The ingredients named are inexpen
sive and can be found in any drug
store.—Advertisement.
