Six-Cylinder Living
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
The thirst for excitement is as dan
rerous an appetite as the craving for
Itrong liquor. The longing for gayety.
for amusement, for the stimulation of
bright lights and giddy throngs is the
direct cause for the downfall of a dis
hearteningly large number of boys and
girls.
Each week brings me numerous let
ters from boys and girls who are on
the verge of leaving home because
their parents deny them the freedom
and social opportunity they think
their youthful due.
Once youth tastes the strong wine
of artificial gayety It longs to sip
again. At first curiosity impels—
then a taste is cultivated, and then the
strength of habit and custom steps in.
Youth does not know enough to dis
criminate. Youth, elated at its suc
cess and popularity, does not see the
wisdom of early departure and health
ful long hours of sleep. Parents know
how hideously the longing for Inno
cent amusement deteriorates into the
wild craving for amusement of any
kind.
The drug habit is not formed over
night. It claims its victims by slow
stages. And its victims are not fore
ordained outcasts from homes of

Fisherville. Among the other speak
jcrs at Dauphin were Frank B. Snavely,
of Hershey, candidate for poor di-
I rector. Mr. Snavely had been during
the day over most of the more than
ti.OOO acres of Hersliey farms, of which
he has charge, hut was fresh as a
daisy and made a rattling good speech,
promising if elected to carry into the
activities of the Poor Roard's office
"the broad-gauged humanitarian spirit
that has made Hershey one of the
most delightful places in the country
in which to live." Mr. Snavely also <
.spoke sharply of the effort of the
Democrats to play upon the physical
condition of Danner for register as a
reason for his re-election.
"It is true this man is a cripple,"
said he, "hut he is also a bachelor,
with a business of his own and money
at interest. He is independent. As
opposed to him we have William
Houser on the Republican ticket, a
man with thirteen children and an
invalid wife, and no independent liv
ing. As between the two, which do
you think Is entitled to the more sym
pathy?"
Senator Beidleman also spoke at
Dauphin, denying most emphatically
that any one of the candidates on the
tic ket is pledged to do other than his
full duty if elected. "The only thing
anybody has asked of any of the nomi
nees on the Republican ticket," said
he, "is that they use their own best
judgment as to the conduct of the
offices to which they aspire and that
thev take orders from nobody."
Senator Beidleman also spoke most
eloouently of District Attorney Stroup's
•H'aliflcatlons for that office and he put I
in a word also for James E. Lenta for
recorder, and for Mark Mumma, of
Steelton, for county treasurer, and the
other candidates.
Other Meetings
The meeting at Fisherville was in
the open air and was largely attended,

take over the business end of the
Elmira plant early in November.
Mr. Hoy has been attache of the
local electric company for more than
twenty-eight years and has risen "from
the ranks," as It were; beginning as an
apprentice in the line department, he
gradually obtained a thorough knowl
edge of all departments of the rapidly
growing electric concern, and when
the Harrisburg Light, Heat and Power
Company and the Paxtang Electric
merged with the Harrisburg Steam
Heat and Power Company to form
the present concern Mr. Hoy was
chosen to head the commercial and
business end of the consolidation.
It was largely due to Mr. Hoy' 3
splendid efforts that the extension of
the electric lines into surrounding
towns and the big improvements in
Harrisburg's lighting system were ac
complished.
The departing electric light official
is widely known In Masonic circles and
has always taken a prominent part in
the activities of this order. Inciden
tally he has always been one of the
city's biggest business boosters an
active member of the Board of Trade
rnd later of the Chamber of Com
merce, and It was largely due. to his
activities that some of the recent cele
brations have been made so successful.
K. W. Kiple, commercial manager
and assistant to the president of the
Faston Light and Power Companv,
will succeed Mr. Hoy.

MAURICE COSTELLO IN GREAT PLAY
STARTS NOTABLE WEEK AT COLONIAL

lent Cast in Vitagraph's Newest Blue Ribbon Feature
Of interest to moving picture lovers
is the announcement that Maurice Cos
tello appears in the Vitagraph's new
est five-reel production called "The
Man Who Couldn't Beat God" at the
Colonial Theater on Monday and
Tuesday.
Followers of moving picture pro
ductions are already familiar with the
many flattering criticisms this new
feature has received and its timely
appearance in Harrisburg will un
doubtedly strike a popular note. "The
Man Who Couldn't Beat God" is a
gripping society play with a moral
and is said to give Mr. Costello oppor
tunity to reach the very height of his
dramatic intensity.
The efforts of Mr. Costello need no
description to followers of screen
plays. He has undoubtedly appeared
in more big attractions than any other
star of the "movies" and his popularity
is secure. An interesting fact con
cerning this newest of Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature." is that Mr. Costello is
supported by a cast of popular and
clever Vitagraph players, who have

as he has.
WIDE TERRACES
AROUND SCHOOL
Board of Control Adopts Plan
ning Commission's Plan
For Steele Building
Wide, gently sloping terraces will
surround the new W. Sherman Steele
school building in the Tenth ward.
On the upper levels the playground
stretches will be laid out, and the
lower sections, which will not be so
desirable for the youngsters to romp
upon, will be planted \*(ith flowers,
shrubbery and turf.
The scheme suggested by the City
Planning Commission is in accordance
with the planners' idea for future de
velopment of Harrisburg's school play- J
grounds and the chances are that the
same system will be adopted hereafter'
for all the new buildings. The School
Board last evening enthusiastically en
t'oised the plan, although many of the
directors had gone over the details
of the ground yesterday with mem
bers of the commission.
The Steele building sits back in a
big plot of ground that Fronts on
Fifth, Mahantongo and Reel streets.
From the building line to Fitfh street
there is at least 150 feet of ground
which ends in a ten-foot bluff at the
street line. The plot will be divided
into two levels: the upper one, con
taining about 100 feet, will provide
room for the playground; the lower
stretch, comprising possibly 50 feet,
will he planted with flower beds. Simi
lar treatment will be followed on the
Mnhantongo and Reel street frontages.
Drawings of the proposed develop
ment which had been, prepared for the
Planning Commission by J. R. Hoffcrt,
assistant park superintendent, were in
spected by the directors.
