FACKLER'S 1312 Derry Street Store Open Every Evening on nml After December 18tli TRUE ARTIST ALWAYS GETS STAGE FRIGHT IN PUBLIC "A true artist never appears in> public without an attack of stage | fright," declared Ethel Leglnska, the noted pianist who is to appear at the Chestnut Street Auditorium to-mor row night, to the Telegraph's cub re porter, who was hurried over to the Senate to interview the pretty world famed artist because the staff "star" (get this stuff) was busy writing color stories around the murders now In the Dauphin county court. '"To appear in public with abso lute confidence," smiled Miss Leglnska, "requires arrogance and arrogance is never found in the make-up of a true artist. Stage fright is an evidence of the refinement of the artistic senses A GOOD WINTER HABIT Many people dread winter because the sudden climatic changes bring colds, grippe, rheumatism, tonsilitis or bronchitis. But thousands of well informed men and women today avoid much sicknessforthemselvesand their children by taking a few bottles of Scott's Emulsion to make richer blood, fortify the membranes of the throat and chest and create body-warmth to re sist sickness. Soldiers at war receive cod liver oil; it will also strengthen you. Scott & Bownc, Bloomfk-ld, N. J. 16-31 The Mouthpiece The Bell telephone rrtouthpiece is a rather commonplace looking thing, but science and the experience of years have combined to fix its shape and curves and size and material. It is designed to gather the sound-waves from lips that are about half an inch from it 3 edge and directly in front of it. When speech is directed to it from an angle or from five or six inches or a foot away, the trans mission cannot help but be far below "standard." You can help to safeguard the high quality of . your Bell Service by speaking close to the trans mitter, always, in a clear, not-too-loud tone of voice. rilE BF.M, THI.KPHONE CO. OF PA. MARHISIHJRG. PA. Cf_ 1 > WEDNESDAY EVENING, which the 'bourgeois' never learn to appreciate." "What advice would you give to tho young pianist who hopes to attain success?" Miss Leglnska was asked. "Ah, that IS a question to answer. Suffice it to say that the young musi cian who has ambition to some time become world renowned will find no rosy path before him. "Boys, in particular—unless they have assurance that theirs is an un usual talent—should not plan to make the public concert stage their life's work. For when the 'One Girl' comes into a boy's life, he will realize It is better to be a good plumber with an assured inepme than a mediocre musi cian with no future prospects. No career, however famous, can over compensate for having missed tho great opportunity that comes but once to every man and every woman." As quickly as her playing can change one's moods, her own mood changed and she spoke reminlseently of the time when a child at Hull, a seaport town of England, she mado her first public appearance at the early age of six years. "Managers, what have I to say about managers, I know too much about managers. It Is so hard to get a good manager and poor ones aro SUCH a nuisance. Until two years ago I never had a really good man ager,'.' Miss Leglnska continued. While in Harrisburg Miss Leglnska will visit local points of interest. BUYING SYSTEM TO BE BETTERED Governor Gives Hospital Super intendents Some Ideas About Purchases Following- yesterday's prolonged meet ing of the Economy and Efficiency Com mission and the superintendents of the 3tate institutions and the Board of Public Charities, It was unanimously suggested by tho superintendents that they confer as to their uniform needs and the best method of standardiza tion of supplies in order to Increase their efficiency and produce greater economy. It was suggested that the commis sion consider the advisability of a co operative system of purchasing, which would enable the superintendents of the various institutions to standardize their wants and get tho benefit of large purchases and the elimination of the middleman. It was also suggested that a State Central Board be established to supervise the purchases and If found advisable to make the purchases direct, subject to delivery at the various In stitutions. Committees were named to look after details. The economy commission was re quested to furnish the various institu tions with a list of the prices paid each month for staple articles so as to give the widely-scattered superintendents an opportunity to compare_ their prices with those of sister institutions. It was contended by those present that the insane asylums with their large popu lation were more uniform In their needs than the smaller medical Institutions and that the latter could purchase as a group to better advantage than when classed with all State institutions as a whole. While no definite action was taken by either the superintendents or the commission, it generally agreed [that the great variation In prices paid |by different institutions for the same commodities was poor business and should be discontinued. The question to be solved Is—what system will best meet the demand of all institutions and eliminate to the greatest extent the ex travagance caused by variations in price? The Governor's Idea Governor Brumbaugh, who is chair man of the Economy and Efficiency Commission, was Introduced to the su perintendents by the solicitor, Harry S. McDevitt, and in his oponing address indicated to the superintendents that the commission was not criticising but trying to help all the institutions. He emphasized the need of co-operation, both in purchasing supplies and adopt ing standardization and specifications. He railed nttention fo the apparent in efficient production of the land con nected with the State institutions and announced that plans were being for mulated for making a careful study by the Agricultural Department experts of the soil, crops and livestock connected: with the institutions. He stated, un conditionally, that no Institution could have too much land and that the land of no Institution could yield too much in crops. In addition to standardizing supplies, he cafled attention to the need of a uniform system of accounting for all the State institutions, and advised closer co-operation between Harris burg and the institutions. Attorney General Brown in his re marks d-'welled upon the importance of a central purchasing system that could purchase standard supplies in maxi mum quantities at minimum prices, and stated that in his investigations along tills line he had become thoroughly convinced that central purchasing was the best method for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. At the conclusion of the conference, the superintendents agreed among themselves to make a careful study of the needs of the individual institutions and to report to the Economy and Effi ciency Commission what in their opinion would be the best method to improve existing conditions. The CommlHNlon Plan Harry S. McDevitt, solicitor of the Economy and Efficiency Commission, outlined to the superintendents the scope of the commission's work and in vited the superintendents to avail them selves of any information on tile in the office. He submitted the figures com piled during the past twelve months dealing with purchases of staple sup plies and showed not only the fluctua tion In prices paid by the same insti tution. but the great variation in prices among all the Institutions. He indi cated the desire of the commission to remedy local defects as well as general defects and stated that an examination of the specifications prepared by the institutions showed that all the in stitutions were asking for practically the same quality of articles. He em phasized tho necessity of anticipating needs of standard articles rather than emergency purchases and stated that a system would be recommended that would enable the Institutions to Inter change what they produce individually. The value and variation of crops pro duced by the institutions was submit ted to the superintendents and an ana lysis made of the land of each establish ment. $1,600 Bet on Election Is Seized For the Poor Butler, Pa., Dec. 13. Dr. E. L. Wasson, former member of the Dcgis lature and treasurer of Butler county, wagered SI,OOO to S6OO that Hughes would be elected, and 1. G. Smith, wealthy oil man, took the short end.
