RAUNICK Health Department Head Says Restricting Legislation Should Be Enacted EDUCATION IS NEEDED 1 Many Extensive Improvements | Have Already Been Made by City's Industries An educational campaign to eradi cate the smoke nuisance in Harris- : burg, followed by restricting city leg- j islation, was urged to-day by City i Health Officer J. M. J. Raunick. Although the Pennsylvania Kailroad > Company and a number of managers of manufacturing plants in the city have made extensive improvements, much more can be done, Dr. Raunick declared. Careful study of fuel consumption, i installation of modern boiler and other j heating apparatus, and modern appli- | ances to eliminate much of the smoke, j were some of the remedies suggested j by the health officer. Railroad officials declare that smoke j inspectors, instructors for llremen, and educational motion pictures are pro- j ducingr the best results for them. What I'ennsy Is Doing William R. Denehey, chief clerk to William B. McCaleb, superintendent | of the Philadelphia Division of the I Pennsylvania Railroad, explained the j system now in use by the company. I "Educational motion pictures, show- I ing how to lire engines properly to j save fuel and cause the least smoke at the same time, are one of the big helps for the employes. Locomotive tiring is an important factor for every railroad company, and the Pennsyl vania does everything possible to have the men fully understand their job before taking it. "Men are employed to instruct all firemen how to tire under all con ditions. In addition to the instruc tors, there are smoke em ployed all along the line.

Anti smoke measures were considered, the manufacturers finally agreeing to in stal new equipment and appliances, i Changes In boiler systems and the nd- : dition of high power blowers so that anthracite coal could be used, resulted in the elimination of tlie nuisance.

General Rafael Reyes, former' president of Colombia, now here to j aid in obtaining the approval at; Washington of the treaty which is to j give Colombia $25,000,000 for the loss! of Panama, attributes his present fine physical condition at sixty-five years to the banana.

TREATING MANIACS WITH WATER The modern physlclah is soothing lunatics with nothing more or less Washing Won't Rid Head of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tfc-niglit, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more appli cations will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

MOTION PICTURES OX GIiASS When a cheap, durable, noninflam- ] rnable substitute for the ordinary mo tion picture celluloid film is found, we may expect to see motion picture ma chines enter our homes and take a place beside the phonograph, states the Popular Science Monthly for March. So long as the cost of film is exces sive, as it is at present, and so long as the film is inflammable, as it al ways has been and may continue to be, it will be difficult to popularize home I motion pictures. | To overcome these difficulties, G. IBettini, of New York, has invented j several cameras and projectors in | which ordinary cheap glasß plates take 'the place of the usual expensive film, j For instance, he has evolved ,a mo ition picture camera that utilizes glass I plates in place of the usual film; a j motion picture projector for the home : which uses the same glass plates; a j second projector which utilizes cir cular noninflammable disks; a ma chine which prints pictures on disks from standard film subjects, and a me chanical printer which makes square glass plate positives from standard film.

As their health improved games of [chess failed to fill up their days and the natural craving for something I worth while to do became irresistible. As a result the firm of De Prez & Smith, Magazine Agency, was formed.

PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR HIKING SHOES Taking his inspiration from auto mobile tires, and going the ordinary rubber heel one better, Oscar Jlussl nan, of New York City, has invented a pneumatic tire for his own shoes. The "tire" differs very decidedly from the ordinary heel In that a partition of rubber is built In it half way up Its thickness. The partition thus forms an air chamber with the bottom of the leather above it, and still an other one with the ground when the heel comes down upon it, explains the Popular Science Monthly for March. Each of these two chambers is con nected with the outside air by a small ; opening. When the heel strikes the i ground, the air in the chambers be | comes slightly compressed, causing the jolt of the walking to be very greatly cushioned in a manner very much GEORGE WASHINGTON —the first and greatest of our Presidents was not only "First in Peace, First in War and First in the Hearts of the His Countrymen" but he was also a leader in the business world and understood and practiced economy and thrift.
