12 / MAJESTlC—Vaudeville. N PAXTANG PARK-Vaudeville. COLONIAL—"Poppy." REGENT—"Wiia and Woolly." One of the popular numbers on the Majestic bill the first half of this week is Arthur Havel and At the Company, in an excellent Majestic comedy sketch entitled, "Playmates." The act is full of good comedy, and the company presenting the playlet is a competent one. Other acts on the bill are: "Rubevllle," one of the best laughing acts in vaudeville; Harry and Augusta Turpin. comedy variety entertainers: Kola, clever contortionist, and Keta Boland, young woman, singing a number of tuneful songs. "The Revue De Vogue," a musical comedy with eight people, will be the lieadliner the last three days. Grouped around this act are: Ed and Lew Miller, excellent singers: Alanson, novelty equilibrist; "Kramer and Kent, in a comedy black face offering, and the Braggar Broth ers, in a comedy acrobatic novelty. If you like a vaudeville show with plenty of pep, good singing and a whole bunch of pretty The Bill girls, you don't want to at Paxtnng miss the one at the Pax tang Park Theater this week. Josie Flynn, with her Minstrel Re view of 1917, is the big feature with the park bill. Josie has a company of pretty girls who sing ballads, dance, tell jokes and cut capers just the same as their brother minstrels, and they are ten times better to look at than any male minstrel aggrega tion we ever saw. Miss Flynn has played Harrisburg several times with her various female minstrel shows, but her present act is probably the best production she has ever had. In summing up the park show, we must not forget Wheeler and Potter. Mr. Wheeler is a remarkably clever eccentric dancer and Miss Potter has an excellent singing voice.

The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. —Adv. Miller's Antiseptic Oil Known as Snake Oil Will Limber You Up—A New Creation Accomplishing Most Wonderful Results Mrs. E. M. Montgomery, Route 1, Jackson, Miss., states: "Morphine alone would relieve me of my suffer ings until I tried Miller's Oil, which gave me such quick results. I have used it for rheumatism, stiff, swelled joints, neuralgia, pains in my limbs, and after I applied it to the affected parts the pains disappeared, and I am thankful to say I have had no use for dope of any kind since. I will never be without a bottle of this wonderful oil in my home; it is a pleasure for me to recommend it to my friends and the public in this manner."

June 27—Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, to-day replied to the critics of the administration's food control bill by declaring it is constitutional and a necessity and ad vocating its immediate passage. The speech was a full answer to those senators who doubted the advisability of conferring such tremendous pow ers upon the President and to those who doubt Congress' right to delegate those powers. "For myself, entertaining no doubt as to the necessity of such legisla tion, 1 shall not demand that it fully satisfy a hypercritical examination." said Senator Knox. "I believe the executors of the law will mollify Its enforcement to avoid unnecessary hardships and by liberal construction of its spirit see that it accomplishes the purposes of its creation." To those objectors who are dis turbed about the constitutionality of the bill Senator Knox gives the as suiance: "Upon constitutional grounds there need be no qualms. The Con stitution imposes no limitaions upon the power of self-preservation." A(1 visory Council A feature of Mr. Knox's speech was his suggestion that the President, in addition to his Council of National Defense, establish an advisory coun-1 cil from among the members of the ; Senate and House. "Not as a separate t body, but as participants in council I with the Executive, should Congress ; be represented in the conduct of the ) war." he said. "Only in this way will unity of direction be preserved." The suggestion had been brought forward previously and a joint reso lution is now pending in Congress for the establishment of a war coun cil to advise with the President. It Is possible that Senator Knox's advocacy of the idea may cause the President to accept it. Congress no doubt will readily enact the necessary legisla tion if the President will consent to it. Mr. Knox proposes the matter to the President in these words: "At this critical time, when common council and universal co-operation are declared by the President to be abso lutely indispensable, the Executive 1 should be glad to have at hip constant j disposal the mature governmental ex- \ perience, the close touch with the I people and the trained Judgment of j the Congress if only this could be done in a practical way." Closer Co-operation Closer co-operation between the j President and Congress in the con- j duct of the war was advocated in his j speech. He urged that Congress—or j leaders in it—form part of the war j council so that the executive and Con- | gross would be in intimate touch in j all the grave affairs of the war. He j continued: "Among the war powers already invoked the first in importance and ! potentiality is found in the embargo | provisions of the espionage bill, now ; become law. Through this act the I American people are to be protected 1 against the dissipation of their food and other of the sinews of war in any manner determined by any considera tion whatever other than that or the vital national aim—speedy and com plete victory in-this war. This power of embargo, wisely and boldly exer cised, should also serve to hasten the day when many more peoples, still neutral through fear or indifference and not through conviction, shall Join the powers arrayed for freedom and civilization in a death struggle with ruthless militarism and the lust for world dominion. C'tin Know Oar Friends "The President's new power to con trol exports will at last end the ab surdity of our supplying the necessi ties of life to countries which find it possible to export to Germany simi lar or corresponding necessities. Ac- j tually and potentially, America and her allies are and will be able, through tariff arrangements and in ] many other ways, to show that they j remember their friends, and that they | remember also who it was that gave | comfort to their enemies, or who sat j by mute and cold when liberty and | civilization were at stake. "In such a struggle, economic and j political and moral pressure upon neu- j trals Is not to be overlooked as a j weapon. By such means and by the | righteousness of our just cause we i with our allies may so consolidate the I opinion and the moral sense of man- j kind that Prussianlsm must inevitably I bow before the true springs of civil ization. "We have provided for governmen- i tal control of the priority of ship ments within our own borders by the I Newlands bill, which passed the Sen ate on the fifteenth instant. In this way the American people are to be protected against the paralysis of their sinews of war by any clogging ! of the arteries of circulation by mat- j ter obstructive of the vigor of the j body politic. In this way the Amer- : ican people will be protected against any waste of their labor or of pre- | cious time in the transportation of j nonessentials at the expense of thosei thing the prompt distribution of which is a life-and-death matter to the national aim, speedy an<f com plete victory. Ta Protect People "We are now asked to pass a food control bill. To fail to do so, arter whft' we have already would be to adopt a conclusion while denying its major premise. By a food control law the American people are to be protected against the dissipation. In inadequacy of production, in wasteful methods of dealing and marketing, in thoughtless, extravagant consump tion, of those things which are the basip necessity in all we may do Tor the winning of the war, as well as for our very national life itself, namely, food. "What avails it to prevent the waste To Make Hair Wavy and Curly in One Night Someone has made the discovery that simply applying liquid silmerine with a clean tooth brush will actually make straight hair beautifully curly over night: The liquid, which is of course perfectly harmless, has the pe culiar property of drying in pretty waves, creases and ringlets. It also serves as a splendid dressing, keeping the hair delightfully soft and glossy. A few ounces of liquid silmerine. obtainable at any drug store, will keep the hair curly for weeks. It is neither sticky nor greasy, but quite pleasant to use. It produces a curliness which is the nearest thing to "Nature's own."—Advertisement. I Don't Wish for Health, Take BlacKburrte Cascaßfoal Pilli (And Be Healthy, ■ Strong and Efficient I or misuse in export of war necessities, of which food is the first; what avails it to prevent the slow movement of war necessities within our borders, if we should neglect the scientific ap plication of every measure conducive to abundance and conservation of the very necessities themselves? The food bill should be passed, and passed quickly. We shall then have arranged to keep war necessities from foreign use against our purpose, at the same time giving the President a diplomatic and economic weapon which we can at any time still further sharpen, if need be, by discreet application of the tariff as well. We shall have arranged to give war necessities the right of way in domestic transportation. And that, without which the other provi sions are but meaningless corollaries, we shall have arranged to have the maximum of that first necessity of war or peace—food, food for the war and food, without extortion, for the American public. Need to Concentrate "We are committed by necessity and by laws already enacted to the prin ciple of extreme concentration and centralization of authority for the conduct of war. Through bloody years , of experience our allies have biazec! j the way, and have found in that prin ciple the first essential for their sal- ; vatlon, through an efficiency and ce- J lerity of action to be attained in no other way. We should not be faithful to our trust if we did not heed that: lesson. "The Senate is united in the na- | tional aim—complete and speedy vie- | tory in the war. It has shown Itself united in the principle ot concentrated and centralized authority essential to the attainment of that aim. Upon con stitutional grounds there need be no qualms. The Constitution imposes no limitations upon the power of self preservation. If we now delay In an other application of the same princi ple, at a time when every day Is of tragic importance, why shall -we do so? "The President has selected six men. each eminent in his field, as an advis ory commission to the Council of Na tional Defense. The Council of Na tional Defense consists of heads of the Departments of State, War, Navy, Commerce, Labor, Justice. Through the advisory commission and its aux iliary personnel it is sought to place at the disposal of the President and of his Council of National Defense the wisdom, experience and skill of file business, industrial, labor, financial and scientific talent of the country, as is being patriotically and unselfishly done. These arrangements are more or less informal. Critical Time "At this critical time, when com mon council and universal co-opera tion are declared by the President to be absolutely indispensable, the Ex- | ecutive should be glad to have like- | wise at his constant disposal the ma- j ture governmental experience, the | close touch with the people, and the trained judgment of the Congress, if only this could be done in a pratical way. Now not at all. but a very few representatives of the business world could be called into council if expedi tion and efficiency were to be attain ed. Just so. not all. but a very few Representatives of the Congress could repularly participate in council as to the day-to-day conduct of the war if they were to constitute anything but a very unwieldy body. "Reflection brings conviction of the impracticability of that idea as hith erto developed. It violates the prin ciple of concentration and centrali zation of authority in wartime as contemplated by the Constitution and as demonstrated by the experiences of our Allies to be vital, in an extreme measure, to successful combat against Prussian militarism. Not as. a sep arate body, but as participants in council with the Executive, should the Congress be represented in the conduct of the war Only In this way will unity of direction he preserved. In this way only can the Congress remain in helpful touch with Execu tive deliberations. No Need to Be Afrnld "If any one shall still be appalled at the concentration and centraliza tion of authority which we are lega lizing. let him remember that Ameri ca has been Inexorably drawn into the whirlpool of the most appalling and catastrophic crisis that has ever visited the world. If we are giving legislative sanction to startling in novations, we are compelled by a novelty of horror and of menace hith erto undreamed of. need not be afraid of Prusslnn -1/lnß the United States. Not forms nnd names, but results, are the criteria of human institutions. It is not its efficiency, but Its intolerable purpose, its unconscionable means, its cvnlcal and brutal materalism. its medieval sophistries that have made the name of Prusslanism abhorred. "Does any one still ask why Ameri ca Is at war? Let each, if he will, answer according to his favorite phrase, according to the phase of the question it may please him at the moment to emphasize. He will do no harm so long as he remembers that behind all nice phrases, back of all generalizations and altruistic idealizations stalks this stark fact: \merlca Is In this war to defend Its honor. Its liberty and Its life once nnd for all time from menace by the Germanic power. That power stands forth as a nation drilled for genera tions In a religion of dominion by force, a nation that has learned to laugh at justice and good faith, whose conscience has been made callous to the most horrible cruelties. It is not so much forms of gevernment as the spirit and aims of governments and peoples that count. Such a nation must unlearn the long lesson of Prus slanism. "Unbounded hostile design and un bound power leave no room in the world for free men. The people who Ntanil for a civilisation of freedom of Justice nnd of law must stand to gether now or perish one by one Should Germany triumph, the West ern Hemisphere and the United States itself would be her next victim. The realization of the German purpose in Europe would have at once brought Interest we are bound to defend within the scope of her imperious de signs. Whatever forms of govern ment other peoples may prefer, the American people are at war to make j the world safe for this particular democracy lying between Canada and Mexico In North America.

Several measures were passed authorizing banks and trust companies, corporations and building iind loan associations to In vest surplus In war bonds, facilitating tha use of raw materials by industries and authorizing the Governor to ap point volunteer police during the war. Bills were also passed providing triat the State and counties and cities could pay salaries for employes who enlist and providing for payment of substi tutes. An Increase of the State police force by one hundred and two men was authorized In a bill approved in April and the men are now being re cruited and added to.the four troops. Hlk Appropriations Appropriations by the Legislature will probably aggregate $83,500,000 and the estimated revenues are about the same figure. The direct inherit ance tax bill, now In the hands of the Governor, is expected to raise over 05,000,000 a year. A large appropria tion was made for a new state Insane hospital at Blairsville and for tne building of a state inebriate asylum, for expansion of institutions for wom en and for a site for a new state In sane hospital in eastern Pennsylvania provision was likewise made. The state appropriation for the schools was increased from $16,000,000 to $18,000,000, vocational education and normal schools being cared for, while over $12,000,000 has been voted for construction of state highways, state : aid highways, aid-of-townshtp highways and condemnation of toll roads, the revenue from automobile licens'es, estimated at $6,000,000 for two years, being dedicated to main tenance.

Jackson Slogan Originated During Actual Road Test One of tho most famous slogans connected with the automobile Indus try Is that of the Jacksoft —"No hill too steep, no sand too deep"—which has a history partly topographical, partly commercial and partly mechan ical; a history which is here told Tor tho first time. When the Jackson company decided to give up racing under the belief that the sport had served its useful ness to the industry, It still continued to put its' cars to a gruelling road test over the Jackson hills. The Jack son company believed that no other car was subjected to such a test as the Jackson received, and was natu rally anxious to bring the fact to t&e attention of the public, in an epigram matic way. One day an advertising director, visiting the Jackson plant, was driven over the Jackson hills by one of the Jackson officials, and commented upon the large number of testing cars which he saw ascending and descend ing the sandy hill roads. "We pride ourselves upon the abil ity of the Jackson ear to ride with ease over any hill, however steep, and t to pull through any sand, however deep," said tho Jackson man. "No hill too steep, no sand too deep," rhymed the advertising man; "there's a slogan for you."
