BOTH HOUSES TO
TAKE A RECESS
Proposition to Adjourn Until
June 6 Passed in Lower
Branch After Fight
When the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture adjourns to-day it will be to
meet at 1.30 o'clock on the afternoon
of Wednesday, June 6. This will
permit the lawmakers to spend both
Memorial and Registration days at
home.
The resolution for the recess orig
inated in the Senate after Mr. Glass,
Philadelphia, had presented a reso
lution in the House to declare Reg
istration day a legal holiday. There
was much sentiment in favor of a
recess this week and last evening
the Registration day idea was
sprung. No discussion followed pre
sentation of the resolution in the
Senate but there was a row in the
House. A motion to extend the re
cess until Monday, June 11, was
made and defeated and then the
resolution to quit until Wednesday of
next week was concurred in 88 to 45.
Mr. Milliron, Armstrong, contend
ed that the date should be made
Monday, June 11.
Mr. Wallace, Lawrence, declared
the Legislature should stay here and
"get down to business."
Mr. Milliron rejoined that mem
bers would not come here for ses
sions next week and that he felt
that the House might as well take
the longer recess.
Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, opposed
the Milliron motion and said he felt
sure of quorums after Wednesday
of next week.
Mr. Fowler, Lackawanna, and Mr.
Cook, York, supported Mr. Wallace.
Mr. Palmer, Schuylkill, said he
was going to register on June 5 in
person and not by mail from Har
rlsburg. Mr. Wallace renewed his
plea for staying at work, saying it
would be a patriotic duty.
Mr. Milliron's motion was lost, re
ceiving only a few votes.
STRUCK BY AUTO
.. Charles Smith, Nineteenth and
Derry streets, was slightly Injured
last evening when struck by an auto
mobile. He was taken to his home.
Will shrivel up any corn whether
hard, soft or between the toes so that
it can be lifted out easily with the
fingers. No pain and not one bit of
soreness when applying ice-mint or
afterwards and it doesn't even irri
tate the surrounding skin. No more
corns; no more painful callouses; no
more tired, burning, puffed or sweaty
feet. Ice-mint ends foot misery for
good. No foolishness. Try It. Just
ask in any drug store for a little ice
mint and never let a corn ache twice.

Arrayed Against Kaiser
By Associated Press
Washington, May 29. S. X.
i 'onstantinidi, first secretary of the
Creek legation here to-day presented
his papers of resignation to the
State Department and announced his
allegiance to the forces of Venizelos.
His: action, because of his long con
nection with the Greek foreign office,
gave the diplomatic corps a shock. .
Mr. Constantinidl declared he had
I been discontented with being con
nected with King Constantino's gov
ernment ever since the United States
I declared war.
"As I see it," he said, "it is the
1 duty of every humane and honest
man to arraign himself on the side
of America and the entente. The
whole terrible situation has narrow
ed down to a simple question of hu
manity and civilization against Ger
man barbarity and bestiality of a
type almost beyond human belief.
When a nation of people calling
themselves civilized human beings
begin to fink hospital ships, mur
der women and children and use
their dead for manure, it is time for
all decent men to turn their faces
away.
Brazil's Decision to
Break With Germany
Litle Short of Warj
By Associated Press
Washington, May 29. Brazil's
decision to revoke her decree of neu
trality Is construed here as little less
than a declaration of a state of war
with eOrmany. Brazil's action is
believed to indicate a general break
down of German propaganda all
over the southern continent.
Unofficial advices that Chile would
endorse and perhaps join 54rn7.il in
the stand against Germany are taken
as added evidence of the growth of
a friendlier spirit and corresponding
decline of German influence.

Unnaturalized Germans
Out of Work to Seek

New York, May 29.—Unnaturalized
Germans, hundreds of whom have
been discharged by public service cor

others is as well known in Harrisburg
as the average citizen.
His lon gservice on Capitol Hill,
his connection with important busi

have given him an acquaintance that
extends far and wide. Many of his

to the dinner to-night. They believe
it means future harmony in the Re

to betoken better party relations and
less bickering than has been the case

In spite of tho drawback of the

and the first month will find the

of candidates who will make good
as officers for "the first 10,000" at
the end of the three months of in

from 25 to 30 per cent of the men in
camp will be chose as fitted to till the
positions of captain, first and second

The Maxwell Is Mechanically Right

their cars at a cost of $6 to $8 a month.
No Experiment in Maxwell Mechanism That's pretty near what the collego professors call "an irre
