FAIR NEXT WEEK Washington, Sept. 23. Weather predictions for the week beginning Sunday September 24, issued by the Weather Bureau are: Middle Atlantic States: Fair and pleasant unttl Wednesday or Thurs day when there will be rains followed by fair and cooler ; OLD MA NATURE DROPS CURTAIN Everybody Behaved but the Weatherman; Postpone Ca baret to Hallowe'en "All right for you, Mister Weather Man!" Blue skies, sunshine as warm as late September can produce, garnished with the balmiest of breezes, to-day won't compensate .some thousand* of eager Harrisburg folks and some more thou ands from surrounding town-: , for the unkind ending provided for lnst night's prdgram of the big uniform Kali open ing celebration of Harrlsbuvg's mer chants. Everybody who had eyes to see or ears to hear had looked forward to what was expected last night to be tho last act, the grand finale of the great Fall Fashion show, Band concerts, a fantastic parade and a great open air dance In Market Square were on the program, and— The Only One With a Grouch The Wtather Man suddenly and un expectedly rung down the dampest, bluest, dreariest curtain ever woven by old Ma Nature, before the act was under way. So the merchants, in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, de cided that the big show isn't to be called off Indefinitely—lt Is only to be postponed until Hallowe'en. And then Harrlsburg, by the way. Is going to have a celebration that will be some event. Market Square, the center of the big stage was all set for the show last evening. Before 7 o'clock the northern section of Market Square looked like a stop-over or checking station of a great automobile tour. Cars were parked two rows deep all around the curb. Ready For the Final Curtain The dancing space had been roped off, the telephonic chimes were Jing ling, "flood-lights" were turning tho Square Into daylight, and the thousands of people were all ready to watch the rise of the last curtain—when the anti climax that proved to be a real climax, startled the sightseers and sent them a-scurrying to nearest cover. Hundreds of Peirrotte and Peir rot, from the six-foot chap to the tiny three-foot high clown, were out in force: never did yama-yama girl so quickly change her lilt of Joy to a sob of sorrow. Here and there In doorways, under awnings, snuggled in automobiles. Jammed upon car platforms—the quaintly costumed maskers crowded and waited for the skies to quit weaping. An They Do In Far Countries V. Grant Forrer, chairman of the board of Judges and John P. Guyer the "floor manager" for the dance, waited under a nearby awning with the vain hope that the storm would cease and let the dance go on. But the Weather Man had a grouch, perhaps; anyway, it rained and rained I and rained. And when it became known that the I big affair was to be postponed until ! Hallowe'en the prevailing opinion was : expressed by a tidy feminine clown: "Say, papa," she observed, "I guess j we'll have to do as they do In foreign i countries when It rains, won't we?" "And how is that, my dear?" I "Let it rain!" Work Will Start Soon on Monument to Maine Victims Havana, Sept. 23.

The President, after declining an Invitation to speak, wrote: "There need be no misunderstand ing as to my position. I have again and again made it as plain as language can make it. 1 am in favor of ade quate defense, and no more. The whole spirit and principle of militar ism is abominable to me, and I do not think that anything that has been done has been done in the militaristic spirit. It has, on the contrary, been conceived and carried out with the sin gle purpose of rendering the country safe against external danger."

Military Hue For 1917 Harley-Davidson Military fashions have extended beyond the range of feminine attire, for now, we are told the effect will reach motorcycle decorations. Per haps the big part the motorcycle is playing in present military circles is responsibe to a large degree for the innovation, but at any rate Heagy Bros., Harley-Davidson dealers have announced a new color for the 1917 machines. The new color is called a "military hue" being much of the fa miliar Olive Drab, the color worn by our own boys down along the Rio Grande. There is little room for doubt as to the practicability of the new color and the attractiveness of the n v machines certainly cannot be lessened by the new dress.
