HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH QUARTER MILLION SEALS IN SCHOOL Harrisburg's Youngsters Vic With County Cousins in Xinus Seal Campaign Of the half million Red Cross Christmas seals which it is hoped to noil throughout Dauphin county dur ing the 1916 Yuletide campaign, near ly 300.000 are being handled by the tiniest salesmen—-the school girls and boys of Harrisburg and surrounding towns. In the county districts exclusive of Stcelton, 1 17,800 of ,the seals haVe been distributed; in the city schools the youngsters have gone their coun try-bred cousins more than one bet ter- they've been given nearly 175,000 to dispose of. By Wednesday incidentally the whirlwind campaign of the school children will be practically closed al though there will be sales of stamps until after the holidays. But one week had been set aside as a real school children's sales week. Furthermore the supplies of stamps that have already been distributed to the schools are being replenished "by more hundreds; many a school which took over a big block, came back for another, helping and still another and even another allotment. The Cameron, Camp Curtin and the Forney schools as usual are leading in the race for record sales, the Cam eron leading by about 11,500 thus far; the Shimmcll,. Roily and Vernon are trailing along. The Sliimmell which began its sea son with 3,000, got seven additional new helpings, once for 2,000 and six times for 1,000; the Reily building got additional supplies of from 2,000 to 3,000 while practically all the othex's got a nice share on repeated calls. Just glance down this list and ob serve what each school building got in the way of supplies of Red Cross Christmas seals: Foose, 2,000; Harris, 3,500; Pax tang, 200; Webster, 6,000; Sliimmell, 1 1,000; Stevens, 800; Fager, 1,250; Wlllard, 7.050; Central high, 10,000; Boas, 4,500; Verbeke, 3,000; Calder, 1,000; Reily, 12,000; Cameron, 30,000; Maclay,' 7,500; Camp Curtin, 19,000; Hamilton, 5,000; Penn, 800; Downey, 600; Woodward, 3,000; Wickersham, 1,700; Allison, 3,000; Lincoln, 7,0o0; Forney, 18,500; Vernon, 5,000; Tech nical high, 1,000; Melrose, 3,600; Lo chiel, 1,400; Susquehanna, 8,000; W.

During these two months 5,000 Super-Sixes were shipped to Hudson distributors throughout the United States. These figures, which do not include export shipments, show that business has been very evenly divided over the entire country. No one distributor bus made any particularly high record. It has been a general, steady increase throughout the country. It used to bo the custom to practic ally shut down in the Fall. The aver age automobile dealer did not expect to do much until Spring. With Hud son distributors, selling Super-Sixes has become an ail-year-round business. Over 230 cars were shipped to tile New York City distributor in October. Chi cago had 104, Philadelphia had 159, while Los Angeles and Uoston nearly hit the 150 mark. Nine other Hudson distributors or dered oil the way from sixty-two to ninety-two cars during this month. On one Saturday and Sunday 235 cars were shinned from the Hudson factory to distributors. Retail records were broken by prnc tically every distributor. In Minne apolis more Super-Sixes were sold at retail in October than any month since the distributor at that point started in business. In Milwaukee the distribu tor sold more Super-Sixes on November 1 than on anv other day since the com pany began. The same ratio of increase In sales is reported from Hudson dis tributors all over the country. Bright Moonlight Enables P. R. R. Engineer to Slow Up Train Before Hitting Ties Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Dec. 9. Ties were placed on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Rock Glen, between Hazleton and Neacopeck early last night in an attempt to wreck the Pennsylvania flyer due hero from Philadelphia at 9:25. Bright moonlight afforded an un interrupted view of the tracks for sev eral hundred feet and the engineer saw the obstruction in time to avtfid a serious wreck. None of the pass engers were injured but the engine was damaged after striking the ob struction. Two years ngo a series of attempts was made to wreck the at Rock Glen in a similar manner. An aged man was arrested for these offenses but was adjudged insane and commit ted to an insane asylum. Ninety-Five Miles Per j Hour in Peerless Eight The Peerless-built eight-cylinder mo tor that enabled Ketterman to main tain a winning average speed of eighty miles an hour in the Dealers Kvent at the Uniontown (Pa.) Speedway Associa tion Meet last Saturday, was entered as a special in compliance with the A. A. A. code. Tiie changes in the power Plant, however, were in details and con sisted chiefly of a different carburetor setting, raised compression and an in creased oil supply to provide against the grind of continued high speed. In its general characteristics, the motor of Ketterman's winning car is the same as that manufactured by the Peerless Company in its Cleveland fac tories for its Model '56 Eight. The Uniontown course was opened by the International Film Trophy race and ihe free-for-all Bonafide Dealers* race, in which the victorious Peerless Eight was entered by the Hlland Automobile Company, Peerless dealers in Pitts burg. ami driven by I. P. Ketterman. The new speedway has a circular board track. Forty-eight laps made up the fifty-four miles covered bv the Peerless In forty minutes and eighteen seconds. Nine cars were entered; five started and three finished, which gives a good idea of the tremendous strain imposed by the track. The Peerless went throuffh without stop, making many laps at the rate of eighty-five to eighty-seven miles an hour. At times a speed of ninety-five miles an hour was reached without, as the driver claim.-., exhausting the full possibilities of the motor. GERMANS MAY ATTACK ALLIES IN GREECE fContinued From First Case-] guns, and "incalculable" booty. The Rumanian losses in dead and wounded were proportionate to the number of prisoners, the German statement declares, and it points to tlie figures as indicating the extent of the Runuinian army's demoralization. The latest captures include several thousand men who tried to escape from the passes on the frontier of the Transylvania Alps, but were headed off by the swiftly advancing Ninth army in the region east of Sinaia. Both this army, in the North and the Danube army, from the south, are ad vancing .the Rumanians being still in retreat along the whole front. How far the advance of Field Mar shal Von Mackensen may take him before the entente forces are able to reconstitute themselves sufficiently to make an effort to hold him is by no means clear. It is considered prob able, however, that not much, if any, of Wallacliia will bo left in Rumanian hands by the time a suitable defensive line is reached. The line of the Buzeu river, which military commentators have picked as a likely one on which a stand may be made, is virtually the boundary between Wallachia and Moldavia, Rumania's northern pro vince. To Hold Moldavian Line That there is every intention on the part of the Russians to maintain firm ly the line along the western Molda vian frontier, to safeguard that pro vince, is indicated by to-day's report from Petrograd of a Russian offensive in the Putna Valley region on the frontier east of Kedzi Vasarhely. The announcement declares that the Austro-German forces were dislodged from two heights, losing 500 men in prisoners, one gun and six machine guns. Little of interest is occurring on the Franco-Belgian front. The only hap-' pening mentioned by either London or Paris is an artillery action in the region of Ilill 304, on tho Verdun front, where the French and Germans have again been disputing possession of this height.

MACK'S Offices, SIO MARKET HIHUKT Open Bfealan GODOWSKY IS MASTER SUPERB An Event Which Stands Out Pre-eminently in City's Musical History IJy JOHN \Y. PHILLIPS A prompinent musician said recently that it was superfluous to speak of technique in writing up a concert, be cause an artist was supposed to have the necessary technique before appear ing- on the concert platform, therefore the critic should take It for granted that tho technical equipment has been properly attended to and can be turned loose on the public with perfect safety. This argument would put all pianists in the same category as far as tech nique goes. Tiie argument could be extended to include tone, because all real musicians produce good tone. Phrasing, proportion and temperament should also be present in every artist laying claim to public attention and approval; and so tho argument could go on ad infinitum, until, with this basis of reasoning, a set form of criti cism could be used, leaving a little space for filling in something about personal appearance. Let us make an experiment. Start two young folks in at pianoforte study at the formative ape, when hands need shaping- and molding and strengthen ing, when stiff wrists and unruly fingers i.eed attention; when the ear and brain can be most easily im pressed, and when constant guidance will develop vision, technique and emotional expression. At the end of a certain period will the two pupils have the same ability? Most assuredly not. The technical ability will differ as well as the musical ability. If there is any musical artist that needs good tech nique it is the pianist. It means slavery to acquire a technique that will satisfy and endure. It requires unlim ited patience and will power, and— kindly disposed neighbors. There are certain events in our lives that, impress and remain with us throughout life, certain concerts stand out pre-eminently and never fade from the memory.
