SHIPPERS PLAN
MOTOR ROUTE
Merchants and Manufacturers
to Discuss Auto Lines
't his Evening
:
I A meeting of Harrisburg mer
chants and manufacturers, who are
receivers and shippers of package
freight to and from Philadelphia and
I New York, to discuss the advisa
bility of a motor truck delivery sys
| torn, will be held in the Chamber of
| Commerce rooms to-night at S
: o'clock. A representative gathering
of receivers and shippers has been
I assured by answers to the notices of
: the meeting sent out during the.
i v.'c ok by the Chamber.
The purpose of the mooting is to
! discuss means for inaugurating a
j Vnotor truck line between Harrisburg
I and New York, as the railroad con
gestion has become such that ship-
I pers of medium weight packages are
I finding freight conditions are seri
ously impairing their business. Ow
ing to the fact that the government
has placed embargoes on so many
lines, merchants and manufactur
ers in Harrisburg, as in other cities,
.•re having difliculty in shipping ami
receiving their freight. The idea of
shippinct by motor truck was devised
| by members of the Chamber of Com
merce, who feel that the project will
| be a success if enough men are Sn-
J terested.
i The roads, while not so good for
. motor shipments now, will improve
in the spring and summer, and the
j shippers and' receivers feel that the
, project should be started at once. It
has been pointed out that between
New York and Philadelphia, a dis
tance of ninety-four miles, motor
truck freight deliveries are used ex
tensively, and with success. It is
felt by businessmen in this city,
that if the motor truck routes be
tween New York and Philadelphia
are successful, there is no reason
why the project cannot be accom
complished here.
Where the motor truck freight
systems have been tried out, it has
been found that the cost of delivery
is about equal to the cost by rail
road, and under the present condi
tions, much more certain. With the
advent of warm weather and bet
ter highway conditions, the cost may
be less, and the speed of freight
shipments by motor* route quicker.
HO 1,1 HAVFI.i:
The police nabbed two men to-day
who were arraigned afterward at the
police station hearing, accused of
raffling off turkeys at Moses' place,
662 Broad street. They gave the
names of James Fesran 1338 North
Sixth street, and William Filling, 133">

in SSOO bail. Detective Shuler made
the arrest.

OLDFRENCH
BEAUTY SECRET
Mile. De Lores, the famous French
Actress, who recently arrived In this
country and who Is now in her 65th
year, has astonished everyone who
has seen her. by her exquisite com
plexion snd clear, smooth skin which
is not marred by a single line or
wrinkle.
When asked to explain how she had
retained her marvelous girlish beauty
she replied: That she had alwavs
practiced one of the oldest French
Beauty Secrets—A secret which for
years was jealously guarded by the
Court Ladies of Napoleon the First
It consists of laying a warm cloth on
the face each night before retiring for
about one minute and then when the
cloth Is removed, a generous amount
of ordinary am-o-nlzed cocoa cream
should be applied over the entire face
and neck, massage it gently Into the
skin with the finger tips for about
two minutes, then wipe off the sur-
Elus with a soft, dry cloth. Mile. De
ores says that any American woman
who has wrinkles, and large pores or
flabby, loose skin can easily and
quickly overcome these destroyers of
beauty by the use of this simple yet
delightful and natural Beautlfler
which Is Inexpensive and can be found
at ~. most my good druggist.
The above, coming as it does from
such a connoisseur of beauty, should
appeal strongly to every ladv who
rpprcclotes what a fe.ir face means
to the gentle sex.—Advertisement. I

MAJESTIC BILL
IS EXCELLENT
Fine Vaudeville Offerings on
Program; "An Arabian
Night" a Feature
! Kvery act on tho Majestic program
met with approval last night, the au
dience enjoying one of the best bills
offered in weeks. Tho first two of
ferings were the weakest on the bill,
but the last three more than made up
for any uninteresting part of those
two acts.
Miss Catherine Powell gives a
series of origin: 1 dance conceptions in
the opening number, including a
"Spanish Eccentrique," and a "Dance
of the Choruses." While these are en
joyable late arrivals, prevent many
from fully appreciating Miss Powell
as their attention is diverted too fre
quently. Hay Conlin, if comedy ven
triloquist, has the ordinary : kit and
was not recalled.
The comedy. "Why Worry," a series
of troubles at home because of
I "mother-in-law," started the merri
ment of the, evening. The company
of three presenting this skit is suc
cessful in pleasing, and the act was
generously applauded. A cornet solo,
irombone duet and a trio of trom
bones and a cornet are the music'.l
offerings of the O'Gorman Sisters. It
took plenty of applause to persuade
these three to give an encore of some
of the old-time songs and patriotic
airs, and the encore brought even
more applause for them.
The opera comique, "An Arabian
Night," is far better than most of the
kind presented here. Two of the four
leading entertainers have good voices
and the chorus is not the mediocre
collection of girls, such as has been
seen recently in similar productions.
"Come, l*ove, to Me." a melodious
waltz song, and "He's Uot to Have
the Girls," by the Hajah and chorus,
also used for the finale, are the two
best musical numbers. The costumes
of, the chorus' and the comedy tricks
of the detective in the cast are the
pleasing features.

has set a new

j numbers a galaxy of stars which will
I scarcely be found again on a pro
gram. The immensity of the staging
i and the strict adherence to the his
torical are marvels of prcduction, as
is also the manner In which the coun
terparts of each period are shown.
Perhaps the two most dramatic fea
tures of this intensely dramatic pro
duction are the representation of the
feast preceding the fall of Babylon |
and, in modern times, the saving of

i through tho efforts of his wife. The j
latter feature Involves the
thrilling sort of race between an au

the sandman and moon fairies have

has transformed them into swans.

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.—To live as
comfortably now as in 1915, work
ing people are obliged to spend, for
bare necessities alone. per cent,
more than was needed before the
war. according to statistics produced
in this city yesterday by expert in
vestigators for the Federal Depart
ment of Labor.
The government's figures, based
upon information gathered in and
about Philadelphia, were made pub
lic to throw light on the proceed
ings of the National Shipbuilding
Labor Adjustment Board, which is
holding a series of open sessions at
the Hotel Walton to establish a
standardized wage scale for ship
yard employes along the Delaware.
The statistics were explained by
John M. Foster, ot the Department
of Labor, who has been in charge of
the investigation. He and his as
sistants have interviewed hundreds
of housewives whose husbands are
employed in the shipyards in Phil
adelphia, Chester and Wilmington,
and from the family budgets thus
obtained have determined that, since
the beginning of the war, the cost of
living has advanced almost 100 per
cent.
