STEELTON AND NEARBY TOWNS
PLANT TO BEGIN
FULL OPERATION
Fifty Per Cent, of Men Will
Go to Work Tomorrow
After Five-Day Vacation
The local steel plant will resume ;
full operation to-morrow morning. j
3'he departments that have been shut 1
rtown for five days In compliance
with the fuel administration order
will start regular schedule of opera- '
lion.
To-day is the last day of the five- :
Hay period which will mean that!
about 50 per cent, of the steel plant!
employes will go back to work to- j
morrow morning. During the shut- !
down period, the blast furnaces, j
,I>pen hearth furnaces and West End i
mills with the exception of a few :
departments were In full operation, j
All other departments were closed
down tight.
Steelton was loyal to the Monday
close-up period. Not a violation of
(he fuel administration orders were
reported to M. A. Cumbler, member
of the county fuel administration.
Snow Hampers Traffic
The snow this morning effected
operation of the steel plant slightly.
Most of the trouble was reported by
the transportation department. Much
difficulty was experienced in thei
operation of engines in the yards.
This tied up the freight movement i
there during the entire morning. I
1-ate this "afternoon officials reported
that they were ahead of the snow
and that operation of the traffic
Mas about normal.
Steelton Still Without
Shipments of Needed Fuel
Coal dealers reported this morn
ing that no shipments of nr
rived In the borough since last week.
The situation is again acute in the
opinion of dealers. A car load of
'coke received by the Steelton Store
Company yesterday was disposed of
in a short time. Many women and
children In addition to a large num
ber of men are getting coke by the
bushel lots at the Steelton Store
Company warehouse. The woman
and children use sleds to take the
fuel to their homes while many of
the men shoulder a bag and work
their way tip the long and slippery
hills of the borough.
Associated Charities to
Hear Report of Work Here
The Associated Charities in their I
monthly session to-night will hear
the report of Miss Wiseman visiting
nurse on conditions in the borough
during the last month. More rest
dents are dependent upon the organ
ization since the recent cold wave
,and much is expected of the visiting
nurse. The coal situation has forced
more work on this organization be
cause many appeal to officers and
members for assistance.. Nothing
but routine business aside from this
report is scheduled for action.

As Lord Quex, in Pinero's "Gay Quex," which comes to the Or
plieum Saturday direct from the Forty-eighth Street Theater, New York
City, John Drew lie.s another role which fits him like the proverbial glove.
Quex is an urbane, polished nian-abou t-town, whose wealth and high social
position not only give him thd entree, to tho most select circles, but also
place him in tho way of great temptrtions. To many of these temptations
the gay Lord Quex has succumbed. Still underneath the sophisticated and
somewhat tarnished exterior of Quex there remains a solid residuum of man
liness and generosity. These qualities are only evoked in hint when his
one big chance for happiness seems to bo slipping from him. In a role so
various in detail John Drew may always be expected to play with a finish
that closely approaches perfection.

ARRIVAL OF COAL ,
RELIEVES SHORTAGE
[Continued from First Page.]
inous coal was received yesterday.
While tlie coal shortage has been
slightly relieved by the shipments
of coal into the city, dealers tills
morning were pessimistic regarding
deliveries stating that the day's
snow storm will hold back their de- j
liveries 50 per cent. Many of the'
dealers are urging their customers to
co-operate as far as possible by ma
king their own deliveries.
Dealers in the Hill district, who
have not been supplied with anthra
cite coal for weeks, are being stocked
with bituminous, if they signify
their desire to handle bituminous to
Fuel Administrator Jlickok. Four of
the dealers on the Hill district have
received bituminous coal yesterday
or to-day. Some of them report that
the soft variety is finding a ready
sale, while others said this morning
that it Is not very popular. Coal deal
ers, said Mr. Hickok, say that the
idea that bituminous coal will not
give satisfaction Is erroneous. Many
of the dealers say that the bitumi
nous coal burns easier and gives a
better heat than anthracite.
The fuel administration investi
gating bureau yesterday received 300
calls for immediate assistance from
people suffering from the coal short
age. Sixty-two of these cases were
relieved by the board, when investi
gation showed them to be urgent. Of
the sixty-two cases relieved, thirty
were cases where there is serious
sickness in the household. The short
age had reached such an acute stage
yesterday, and the suffering in some
cases was so serious, that the in
vestigating board did not. have the
cases investigated by the police be
fore they delivered the coal. Wher
ever the board received a call from
a physician certifying the urgent
need of a family for Immediate re
lief, coal was immediately delivered.
The relief board yesterday supplied
most of the urgent cases with bitumi
nous coal. Where anthracite was to
be had, it was so scarce that the
dealers mixed it with bituminous,
and doled the mixture out in half
and quarter tons.
Deliveries were so difficult to-day,
that several patriotic companies
came forward with trucks ajid men
to handle them, to aid the emergency
relief board in their delivery to the
needy. Trucks and men- to handle
them, havo been donated by Evans-
Burtnett & Company, J. E. Dare, the
Harrisburg Coal Company, C. M.
Kaltwasser, of the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company has offered the
use St two trucks for free deliveries
to-day.

HOLIDAY CROWD |
FILLS MAJESTIC
t
Bill For First Half Featured
by, Quartet Showing
Life in Trenches
A holiday cro\?d, filling the Majestic
to capacity, greeted last night's bill—
one of the most entertaining that has
been offered as a llrst half program for
I many weeks. Eddie Montrose, with
! the usual array of falls and tumbles,
| distinguished himself as a clown of
j unusual ability, and Harry Vandtrand
Company, it* a unique sketch, were
among the best novelty artists that
have been in Harrisburg for some
time. Their sketch shows a toll
gate. with a crochety old man In
charge. How he finds his grand
daughter. who has been lost for years,
is shown "in the playlet, with the usual
j accompaniment of vaudeville laughter.
McLaughlin and Evans, in a song and
lalk act, coifld have better jokes and
better songs, but they had their
merry-making audience with them
last night, and the defects of their act
were not noticed.
Green, McHenry and Dean, billed as
"that lively old trio," deserved a big
time audience. After a few "rube
songs" fhey changed from farmers'
clothes into full evening dress, in less
than a minute, and gave some tine"
ensemble singing.' A clever parody on
"The Miserere" and another comic
ditty were used as the two encores
given them by the audience.
"Somewhere in France," showing
the trenches and trench warfare, was
the feature of the bill. Four boys from
"over there" gave a vivid picture of
trench life, singing songs of the
trenches. The act opened with a tenor
solo, "There's .. a Long, Long Trail."
Other familiar war songs by members
of the company included. "Keep the
Homo Fires Burning," "The Soldier's
Dream," and a closing quartet. "Pack
Up Your Troubles."

MUSICAL COMEDY
PLEASES MANY;
"Very Good Eddie" Gets Ap
preciative Reception at
Orpheuni
i
Of the many musical comedies being
offered, "Very Good Eddie," presented
at the Orpbeum last night, is among
the best. It has been on the stage for
many moons, was played in Harris
burg before, most of its musical num
bers have long since been replaced by
some of the later musical hits, but it
still remains a clever and entertaining
comedy.
Ever see two newlywed couples ac
cidentally exchange husbands for a
few hours? Philip Bartholomae u*ed
this idea for "Very Good Eddie," add
ing a little love affair between an
other couple so that there would be
enough romance and fun for the oc
casion. Georgia Mack, as Eddie, and
Helen Raymond, as Eddie's wife;
ilarry Einlcey and Theodora Warfield,'
as the other married couple, and
Harry Meyers and Davinia Winn, the
pair who fall in love, have the leading
parts and are well cast. Denman Ma- j
ley. as a clerk at a hotel at which the
couples stop, is a comedy artist who
contributes much to the success of
the play. His witty remarks about
all things and persons keep the audi
ence in an uproar. Eddie, of course,
comes in for a share in the funmak
ing, but the clerk takes the lead.
Musically, the comedy is probably
better known. Selections from "Very
Good Eddie" are still popular with
theater orchestras in the city, and
sometimes one will find an organist In
the movies using some of the tuneful
songs for snappy bits of film. "Babes
in the Wood," "Nodding Roses" and
"Wedding Bells Are Calling Me" are 1
the most rythmical and have pleasing
melodies. Of the comedy song num
bers, "Isn't It Great to be Happily
Married," and "When You Wear a 13-
Collar," are good. The chorus sup
porting the lee.ders in the cast is bet
ter than the usual kind, and is well
costumed. Some of the members have
unusually attractive personalities, a
fact which the audience did not over
look.

Why Physicians Prescribe
Bitro-Phosphate
For Weak Nerves
FRENCH SPECIALISTS CLAIM THIS
ORGANIC PHOSPHATE IS ACTU
ALLY CONVERTED INTO LIV
ING NERVE TISSUE.
The rapid increase In the use by
physicians and nerve specialists of
the organic nerve building and easily
assimilated phosphate known among
druggists as Bitro-Phosphate is due
almost entirely to the remarkably
favorable results obtained by special
ists of world-wide fame and reputa
tion. It is, therefore, only logical
that doctors throughout the country
should be urged wherever possible to
prescribe Bitro-Phosphate Instead of
narcotic or stimulant habit-forming
drugs or alcoholic preparations in the
treatment of nervousness, neurasthe
nia. sleeplessness, nervous debility,
lack of energy, mental depression,
etc.
Being a food which, according* to
Robin and other French authorities. Is
actually assimilated and converted In
to living nerve tissue, Bitro-Phos
phate, which is readily obtainable of
any druggist in the form of 5-graln
tablets, is strongly recommended for
the use not only of those who suffer
as indicated above, but also to those
who wish to increase their nerve
strength, vim. vigor, vitality and
powers of endurance. It is especially
valuable to aviators, motorists, gun
ners and men in the various branches
of the army and navy, where strong,
steady nerves are of vital importance.
Cut out drugs and alcoholic stimu
lants. Take ono 6-graln tablet of
Bitro-Phosphate with each meal and
note how quickly your entire being
begins to overflow with that vim,
vigor and vitality which make life
truly worth living. It Is sold In tills
city by Clark's Medicine Store, C, M.

druggists.—Advertisement,

Italian war pictures, "The Italian Bat

day.
The work of the Red Cross, as re
vealed by these remarkable pictures,
. rivals the most heroic exploits of the
1 rin F. line - They reveal facts of self
sacrifice, such as the rescue of the
wounded on the treacherous peaks of

waist deep—in a wp.y that no written
descriptions could possibly depict.
The realism of these scenes in "The
Italian Battlefront" differs from all
other war pictures which have been
shown in this country. This film is a
great adventure with a big beneflcient
purpose, for the proceeds go to swell
the war fund of Italy, the country
that is to-day making superhuman ef

Austrians from destroying the an

Venice.
The closing order given out by Dr.
Garfield, fuel administrator, and then
its subsequent revision, caused a great
upheaval in the schedules of motion
picture playhouses everywhere. After
this upset, it was impossible for Peter
Magaro. manager of the Regent, to se
cure "The Italian Battlefront" for
lilbro than two days. Harrisburg
theatergoers will, therefore, only have
the opportunity to see this chapter in
