There is a widespread interest in the coining performances of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company next week at the Orpheum, this being indicated by the number of inquiries teaching the theater box office and Fred C. Hand. This interest, is not confined to Har risburg. but has penetrated its environs to a large extent, and there will be many opera parties from such points as York, liebanon, Carlisle, Annviile, Hanover, Sunbury, Hershey, Gettys burg, Klizabethtown and other places to hear the San Carlo Grand Opera Company's songbirds. Agencies for the sale of tickets in all those towns have been established by Manager Hand, and parties are coming by train, trolley, automobile and otherwise, so that the opera* will unquestionably prove gala events.

Betty, who has been told that her mine is useless, decides to see for herself and sets out alone to investigate. The kindly miners try, In their rough way, to make things easier for her and at last hit upon the idea of salting the mine or putting in nug gets for lier to find so that she would believe the mine rich again. The wav she finds these and also some real gold, which has been there all the time, onlv kept secret by a scheming mine expert, and finally marries the kind friend of her father forms a story whose unique charm makes It a long to/be remem bered treat. ' OFFICIALS PICK REFEREE GEISEL Horace Geisel will act as referee for the contest that will be staged Fri day evening at Chestnut Btreet be tween the quintets representing Cen tral and Tech. Geisel will be the offi cial to call the decisions in this first game that will -lie under the auspices of the Central management. Both teams aro holding daily prac tices for the games that will decide local honors. As a preliminary game the Central and Tech scrubs will get together for the Junior honors. The Tech scrubs have lost but one game Tyrants Transformed Into Skunks" The contemptible plan of malicious slander to injure the sale of CAMEL ciga rettes has been exposed. Such an insult to the intelligence of Mr. Jobber, Mr. Dealer and Mr. Smoker has been rightfully resented. That great force of justice and fairness that the average man always upholds still prevails. Some say those responsible for this malicious slander once forced their way by biting and clawing the trade. Since having their teeth and claws pulled out, and real izing their inability to longer continue biting and scratching, they put on gum shoes, transformed them selves from tyrants into skunks, and are fighting by us ing their fetid odor to destroy a great brand which has won the confidence of the public. Now that the object of these low-down tactics of .lying to injure the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is known to the trade and consumer, it is acting like a boomerang, and the hides of these skunks, as they are called by some, are now being pierced by their own malicious slander. We know from facts in our possession whose employees are circulating the damaging falsehoods about CAMEL Cigarettes. Here's Why They The purity and delightfulness of CAMEL cigarettes have made them the largest selling brand of cigarettes in the world. We sold over four billions more CAMELS in the year 1916 than we sold in the year 1915. Think of that wonderful increase—a gain of four billions in one year! We have already sold over one billion more CAMELS during 1917 than we sold for the, sponding period of 1916. These record-breaking in creases were made unassisted by coupons or premiums -—standing alone on purity and delightfulness. Our in crease alone in the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is more than the total sales of any other brand of cigarettes for the period stated. What more positive testimonial of the purity and de lightfulness of CAMEL cigarettes could be furnished than this tremendous and steady increase in their sales? Smokers will not permit themselves to be prejudiced against CAMEL cigarettes, to give up a brand that has brought them so much pleasure, now that they know that only envy and jealousy were the foundation for the malicious falsehoods put into circulation for the pur pose of injuring the sale of CAMEL cigarettes. CAMEL cigarettes are pure and they are delightful. We invite comparison with any cigarette in the world, at any price, arid welcome fair and aboveboard com petition from any manufacturer. R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C. I this season, while the Central reserves have almost as enviable a record. Al most as much interest will center in the outcome of this game as in the Varsity contest. Following the contests there will be dancing in which students of the two schools will participate. March SO the two teams are scheduled to meet on the Armory floor. This game will be under the Tech direction, and should the championship still be un decided a third game will be staged to decide the winner. London Plans to Turn Clock and Save Daylight London, March 14. A committee appointed to Inquire into the social and econoihic results of setting the clock ahead one hour last summer so as to save an hour of daylight has decided to recommend its continuance and that people should begin to save daylight this year on Easter Sunday, April 8. and keep it up until Sunday, September 23. The system will probably be re introduced by an order in council, cs it is not necessary to have a fresh act of Parliament. Daylight saving went Into effect on May 21, last year. The change caused so littfe inconvenience and the return to winter time -at the end of summer was made so easv that the experiment was pronounced a suc cess. The committee appointed to discover the beneficial effects of the daylight saving scheme has not yet submitted' Its findings. WILHELM LANDS BERTH Elmira, N.
