COURT HEARS ARGUMENT OX
PEW'SY EJECTMENT ACTION
Argument was heard to-day by the
Dauphin county court on the question
of the ejectment of the Pennsylvania
railroad from property just north of
the city in Susquehanna township,
owned by Cal. F. M. Ott. Col. Ott
complains that many years ago his
father deeded to the Southern Rail
ways company, a strip of ground con
ditional upon the company's construct
ing a spur of track and a small way
station. The Pennsylvania later ab
sorbed the Southern company and has
since held possession of the land. The
colonel contends the ground reverts
to him because the Southern company
never complied with the conditions of
transfer.

CAN YOU THINK
OF AN EXCUSE?
What Caused Council's 10-Year
Record For Promptness to
Be Broken ?
Whether it was the effects of the
November election, the'cold weather,
the rush of work at the steel mills or
—well, the usual reason for sucli
things—is a problem that is puzzling
Ave faithful servants of the people in
Steelton's council to-day.
This problem is the effect: the cause
is the fact that last evening Steelton's
council -broke a ten years' record for
promptness in convening. I.ABt even
ing council didn't convene at all—
there was no quorum. And that is
the llrst time in ten years that this has
happened, according to Borough Sec
retary Charles P; Feidt. Five mem
bers—one less than a quorum—were
ready and waiting to do business, but
five other councllmen were absent.
That's why the live faithful are won
dering.
Incidentally it might be said that
there was considerable business tc
come before council and a special
meeting will likely be called by Presi
| dent J. V. W. Reynders.
The ordinance granting the Penn
sylvania ttailroad the right to cross
Franklin, Conestoga and Trewicl.

spur which will be built along the old

READING ORDERS
FREIGHT EMBARGO
Scarcity of Cars and Vessels
Brings Special Orders; No .
Tie-Up at Rutherford
Until vessels for export freight are
available, the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company will continue its
embargo on grain shipments from the
West. At present every available car
on the Reading system is in service.
Car repair shops have few cars on
hand and there is little hope of getting
any of the new cars before January.
At present the Reading is hauling
large coal shipments and there is a
big demand for coal cars. The mines
are still in operation and considerable
anthracite is being stored along the
main line of the Reading. The road is
also doing a big business in cement
shipjnents frotu Coatesville and Read
ing.
There is no freight blockade in the
Rutherford yards. Trains are being
handled promptly. Trouble is experi
enced at times in getting crews. Along
the main line, it is said, 1,500 cars
loaded with grain for export are tied
up. These shipments are east of Read
ing and between AUentown and Read
ing.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
LONE PINE TO BE
COMMUNITY TREE
Majestic Sentinel High Above
Susquehanna to Be Felled
For Big Celebration
Within a few days a little band of
Steelton's sturdiest woodsmen will
journey to the mountains down at
Round Top. below Middletown, to
bring to town the big spruce tree that,
will be the center of Steelton's big
cosmopolitan community Christmas
celebration.
Already a towering 35-foot giant of
the forest that stands on a high knoll
overlooking the Susquehanna river
several miles below Middletown has
been selected. Preparations are now
under way for felling this lone senti
nel of the river and transporting it to
Steelton. The big motor truck of H.
A. llartman has been hired and in
'.company with L,. B. Heile and Frank
I Marisco, two local buslenssmen, Mr.
; Hartman will transport the tree to
town, where it will be erected either
|on the Locust street steps or high
I school campus.
' I-ast evening Chairman E. C. Hen
' derson. of the general committee in
charge of the celebration, received as
surances from the Croatians and Ger
man residents of the borough that they
would participate. Professor W. M.
Harclerode. who has called a meeting
of the big chorus which will sing
Christmas carols, has postponed the
meeting called for this evening until
to-morrow evening at 7.30 o'clock.
Isn't That Curfew Man
Just the Meanest Thing?
Sounded Siren Too Early
Several hundred Steelton small folks
to-day are frankly and indignantly
speaking their opinions of the big,
bronzed, man in oily jumpers who
l nishtly pulls the cord that caused the
big steam siren at the Pennsylvania
Steel Works to send forth its shrieking
j warning to all the borough's youth to
i be in off the streets —the curfew man.
[ And for the older folks "it is to laugh."
| You see. each evening at 5.45 o'clock
[this man in jumpers sounds the siren
which causes all small folks to scurry
homeward from the streets. Ijas't
evening when the small folks were in
the midst of their game of "tag" were
in the "movies" and otherwise enjoy
| ing the evening, the siren boomed
I forth its curfew warning—and it was
I only 7.45 o'clock!
Now isn't that curfew man just the
j meanest thing?

WARNS AGAINST SOLICITORS
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com

ing aftilllt foreign salesmen who are
canvassing the city and selling Christ
mas cigars and tobacco.
STOP DANDRUFF!
HAIR GETS THICK,
WAVY.BEAUTIFUL
Girls! Draw a cloth through
your hair and double
its beauty.
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff van
ishes and hair stops
coming out.
To lie possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
a 25-cent bottle of Knovvlton's Dan
derine now—all drug stores recom
mend it—apply a little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an
appearance of abundance, freshness,
fluffiness and an incomparable gloss
and lustre, and try as you will you
cannot find a trace of dandruff or fall
ing hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks' use, when
you will see ne" hair—tine and down
at first—yes—but really new hulr—
sprouting out all over your scalp—
Danderine is, we believe, the only sure
hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and it never fails
to stop'falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really Is, moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine and care
fully draw it through your hair—
taking one small strand at a time.
Tour hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just a few moments—a
delightful surprise awaits everyone
who tries this.
