With Soothing Weed
Old Bill Kaiser, we are going to cross
the blue;
We've a date with friends of ours
who have a date with you;
We're going to bryig the wallop that
will put the business through,
\. So we are marching on!
Did you hear it. the tramp, tramp,
tramp of thousands? They are the
boys of America on the way to
France. It has to be done, and when
those million Yanks get on the job
next April for the spring drive the
Hun Kaiser will know that this is
no quitting nation.
"Brainless Bates" who tossed over
llie above flip rhyme may be no
Shakespeare but he has the punch.
"American Troops to Be Sent Abroad
Immediately" is the headline on the
day's paper. The cold news says
nothing of what these American sol
diers will do but Army men wno
have scrutinized the preparations and
the forces of this country on French
territory are not afraid to predict
that the Germans are going to get
the surprise of their life.
What are you going to do in this
.jubilee of liberty? Can you imagine
our boys deep in the mud in Fland
ers this spring, drenched by cold
rain, suffering with trench feet, but
still brave and game? They will,
want good American tobacco, those |
hoys will. And here we have plenty.'
Don't wait until the supply is done I
for. Start now and do what you can. |
This soothing weed is what the light
ers want.
Don't argue about it. Take their l
word.

TECH TEACHER
OFF TO CAMP
School's First Latia Instructor
Begins Training For
Army Service
■
M. W. YOST
Professor M. W. Yost, instructor of
Latin and German at the Technical
High School, is the second member of
the faculty to be called into the great
National Army in training at Camp
Meade, Admiral, Md. Mr. Yost passed
the physical examination during the
Thanksgiving holiday and recently
was given a 24-hour notice to be pre
pared to go to camp. When school
opened after the close of the Christ
mas recess, Mr. Yost failed to return, I
as he had already taken up a course
of training at the Maryland camp.
The Tech tutor was one of the new
instructors elected in the fall, and
was the first teacher to take hold of
the course in Latin that was just
introduced into the Maroon insitu
tion. He is a graduate of Ursinus Col
lege at Collegeville, and his father
is librarian of that institution of
learning. Prior to coming to Tech
he was a member of the faculty at
Morrlstown, New Jersey. Wlfti ten
more members of the faculty of draft
age, it is possible that the conscrip
tion will make further inroads into
the Tech faculty. A successor has
not as yet been elected, and the posi
tion is being filled by Harry Musser,
as substitute, a well-known city at
torney.
Members of the senior class will
lio!d a class dance at Hanshaw's Hall
Tuesday evening, to which all mem
bers of the school are invited. De
lone's orchestra will render the
music. Details are being planned by-
President Miller, Fred Huston and
Rees Lloyd.
A meeting of the members of the
faculty was held yesterday afternoon
at' the close of school. The principal
subject for discussion was the advisa
bility of holding midyear examina
tkns. The matter was threshed out
and Dr. C. B. Kager, principal of the
schcol, will give full details to the
students at the chapel exercises Fri
day' morning.
Senior essays are beginning to come
in to Professor Pierce Rettew, teacher
of senior English. The essays must
all be turned in before February 15.
The thesis are required of all gradu
ates, some of them being used at the
commencement exercises.

marine is the warmest dressed of all
America's lighting men, the Senate
military committee learned to-day
from Michael A. Driscoll, a cloth ex
pert from Rarltah, N. J., and the Ger

form has clothing 50 per cent, heav
ier and warmsr and more costly than
the American soldier.
A worn, stained scrap of gray cloth,
cut from the overcoat of the first
German prisoner taken by General
Pershing's men, was held up to the
view of the committee for examina
tion. The committee's investigation

point of whether "shoddy" mixed
with wool-is good for a soldier's over
coat.
Mr. Driscoll agreed with previous
witnesses from the Council of Na
tional Defense that there was little
difference in effect and that the cloth
ing with "reworked wool" mixed in
was cheaper. He favored heavier uni-

RAILWAY CHIEFS
HOLD CONFERENCE
WITH SEC. M'ADOO
Railroad, Labor and Finance
Questions Engage Attention
of Government Heads
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 3. Railroad
labor and finance questions engaged
the attention of Director General
McAdoo and his staff to-day along
with the movement of coal to New
England and the East.
Heads of the four railway broth
erhoods were called into conference
to discuss the general employment
situation under government opera
tion. Although the union chiefs had
no intention of pressing their de
mands for forty per cent higher pay
at this time. It is understood their
case will be taken up along with
many other wage matters as soon as
the railroad administration has dis
posed of the more pressing trans
portation problem. Many railroad
executives are prepared to recom
mend a general increase, especially
for unorganized labor to prevent the
men from going to other industries
where wages are better.
John Skelton Williams comptroller
of the currency, and the director
general's adviser on railroad finan
cial questions, discussed with Mr.
McAdoo the situation which will
develop soon when railroad com
panies' bonds and other obligations
fall due.
A plan will be worked out by
which the debts may be either re
funded with other securities which
the government may buy or may
meet with funds already reserved for
the purpose and paid under U>
supervision ot tne mrectoi j,eiifc..,
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Final arrangement will de
pend much on the legislation Con
gress enacts.
Since Director General McAdoo
became head of a unified and gov
ernment-controlled railroad system
a week ago the main tangible result
has been the acceleration of coal
shipments and a beginning of the
clearing up of congestion in railroad
yards by abolition of all priority
orders. Surveys also are under way
looking to a practical pooling ar
rangement.

and Sportsman, Is Dead

city, including the annex to the Com
monwealth hotel, were built by Con
tractor Dinger.
Early in life Mr. Dinger became a
successful hunter. His work on the

will play D. W. Griffith's great spectacle. "Intolerance," for three days,
January 9. 10 and 11, at prices of 15 cents for Children and 25 cents for

In every respect the production to be seen here will be the same as
the one that ran for a week at the Orpheum Theater at $1.50 prices.
Words are quite inadequate to describe the spectacular wonders of this

Medieval Paris when Catherine de Medici was a dictator of royal policies in
themselves, it is said, make "Intolerance" the most amazing theatrical of
fering of all time. That the leading dramatic critics of New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Sail Francisco, and other large American cities' Lon
don, England, and Sydney, Australia, have praised It as no theatrical offer
ing was ever praised before, signifies that this latest work of the world

conventional "First Part," while pre- ]
senting the songs, music, dancing and
fun which are the very heart ot
American minstrelsy, is given to the
audience in an entirely unique and
up-to-date form. The' background
represents an American fort, which
stands out against the r-ea, with a
lighthouse silhouetted, and a battle
ship steaming by. Richness and
beauty are added by magnificent park
entrances leading to the beaches. The
minstrel men are dressed in khaki
satin, with the comedians appearing
as servants of the officers. The scene
is preceded by gorgeous pageantry,
picturing famous events in American
history and suggesting the final tri
umph of democracy and peace.

MOST OF PROFITS
When Independent Refuses to
Enter Price-Fixing Agree-,
ment, War Is Declared
By Associated Press

ing the business of dealers in meat
waste the Federal Trade Commis
sion to-day heard testimony of w. S
Ballin, an official or the M. L. Shoe
maker Company, dealers in butchers'
scraps and refuse, and independent
Tenderers and dealers in fertilized.
The witness made the charge that
the American Agricultural Chemical
Company attempted to force his con
cern into a price-fixing agreement
and when it refused, declared war,
which since last May has cost the
Shoemaker company $50,000. Mr.
Ballin testified that E. J. Murphy,
of the American Company, in Sep
tember extended the olive branch
and when the overture was refused
he threatened to "put me out of
business." Mr. Ballin said that Mur
phy acknowldeged that the compe
tition had also cost the American
company about $50,000. He produced
letters from Murphy to the effect that
the latter's concern is paying twen
ty cents a pound for butchers' scraps
in Philadelphia, six and seven cents
in New York and only half a cent a
pound in Detroit.
Plan to Care For Jewish
Soldiers With U. S. Army
All Jewish citizens of Harrlsburg
will be interested to know that tfio
school for the training of field work
ers has just been opened at the Cen
tral Jewish Institute, New York City.
Never before has such a rare oppor
tunity been accorded Jewish men to
perform a service of such-far-reach
ing effect. Salaries ranging from SIOO
to S2OO a month are to be paid, in
addition to furnishing uniforms, sub
sistence and necessary expenses.
What is most needed now is suita
ble material in th eform of workers,
of whom 200 will be needed during
the year, to take care of the present
number of Jews, estimated at 60,000.
in the armed forces of the United
States, but not allowin for the in
crease through the next draft.
The course at the school will first
aim to acquaint the workers with the
causes of America's entrance into the
war and the ideals for which we are
fighting. The fact that the Jewish
religion has never taught nonreslst
ance to the forces of evil and that
Old Testament teachings are strongly
in favor of fighting lor a righteous
cause is to be impressed upon the
field workers. It is expected to pro
vide for the registration with the
Aiperican Jewish Committee of every
Jewish sailor and soldier and the
opportunity will be provided for ad
vancement for the, field workers to
higher rating and higher pay than
they will receive on Joining service
