The increasing use of drugs and

Ice Gorges in Ohio '
Sweep Steamers From
Moorings at Paducah
Wheeling. W. Va., Jan. 29. —River-
i men here to-day predicted that the
I ice in the Ohio river would begin to
move to-morrow. The river is frozen
from shore to shore, the ice measur
ing from twelve to fourteen inches.
The steamers are held fast but all
possible precautions have been taken
to protect them when the ice breaks.
Paducah, Ky., Jan. 29.—Descending
ice gorges In the Tennessee and Ohio
rivers, converging here, to-day swept
the winter fleet of packets and other i
craft from their moorings at upriver
points and in the Paducah harbor and
carried it on down the Ohio. Ap
peals for help from persons marooned
on the icebound craft plainly were
heard as they were carried past this
city.
A report from Metropolis, 111., said
several packets were seen standing
on end in the ice as the floe passed
that place.
The number of boats caught in the
torrent has not been determined. It
was said they probaly would resell
more than a dozen. A preliminary
estimate of the damage, if all were
lost, fdaced it as more than $200,000.
Charge Coal Driver With
Selling Part of Load and
Shortweighting Customers
The coal shortage in Harrisburg j
has given rise to a class of petty
criminals of a brand new sort, and i
police began to-day to nip the incipi- |
ent practice in the bud. Numerous i
cases of short weight having been I
given in coal have been reportt-d, and
hitherto dealers have been blamed.
Yesterday Edward Adams, colored, a
driver for the Lnited Ice .and Coal
Company, was sent to deliver 500
pounds of coal to a customer in Lin
den street.
'file customer complained to the
dealer of receiving short weight, and
an investigation was made. It was
found that the driver had filled a
burlap bag with coal, and sold it to
a neighbor in the same block as the
customer to whom the coal was con
signed, and pocketed the money.
Adams was arrested and an example
will be made of his case to warn
other drivers who are tempted in the
same way. •
Save Gas or Suffer Famine
Warns Manager Williams,
of Harrisburg Gas Co.
Snowbound coal trains carrying!
bituminous to the Bethlehem Steel j
Works, have been responsible for;
practically shutting off the supply of |
gas used by the Harrisburg Gas Com- :
pany, and only the fact that the localj
company has a fair supply of coal to
day prevents a gas famine. !>. £. I
Williams, manager of the Gas Com- I
pany, did not seem greatly alarmed j
to-day at the prospect, but he was |
very emphatic in urging citizens to i
conserve gas as much as possible.
"1 do not believe the situation will
become dangerous," he offered.
"Soon as the Bethlehem people begin |
to get in quantities of coal, from !
which they make most of our gas in
the operation of making coke, the
danger point will be eliminated. AB
it is. our company has been fortunate
in having n fair supply of coal, and
we will continue to keep up the sup
ply, although the quality is bound to I
be somewhat deteriorated."
"Don't go to bed and leave the gas ;
heater lighted," is one of the im
perative instructions issued by the
company, and another is that "in case
the gas should suddenly go out, quick
ly turn the burner off. or, still better,
turn the gas supply oft at the meter."
Knormous calls have been made on
the gas supply by nearly overy home
and the bills will consequently be
proportionate. If consumers use
economy and judgment the company
says it will pull through. The pres
sure was low to-day in the com
pany's mains.
Time Lost by City Plants in
Water Shortage Ignored by
State Fuel Administrator
Harrisburg manufacturing plant*
I which were closed by the water sav
' ing edict of last week, which went
into effect January 23, will not be
I granted exemption from the Mon
day closing ordtr.
This, in effect, is the authority re
ceived by local -Fuel Administrator
Hickok, who had asked State Ad
ministrator Potter to make a spe
cial ruling granting exemption to
the plants which were shut down
last week by the water shortage, on
as many fuelless Mondays as the
water, shortage necessitated their
closing. The letter from Mr. Pot
ter follows:
I "In regard to the plants that have
j remained Idle since 6 p. m. of Janu-
I ary 23, owing> to a break down In
| the city water pumps, I will make a
special exemption for them, it be
! ing understood, however, that these
I plants are to work on fuelless Mon
days on repair work only."
This means, Mr. Hickok said, that
the plants may maintain only
I enough heat In their buildings to
carry on repair work to their ma
! chlnery and equipment, but not to
carry on their regular operations.
Mr. Hickok said that he knows of
only one plant that has been seri
ously hindered In filling its contract
by the water closing order. Mr.
Hickok's plant was cJosed by the
water order, and the fuelless Mon
day order.

After being closed yesterday be
cause of the order of the Fuel Ad
ministration, the auto show was bril
liantly reopened to-duv. The show Is
being held in the Emerson-liranting
ham building. Tenth and Market
streets.
because of the Fuel Administra
tion s order, decreeing that all amuse
ment places shull be closed to-dav
theaters are not open. The auto
show, which is classed as an indus
trial exhibition, is open, and it is ex
pected that a great crowd of people
will attend the show to-day, since
there is no other exhibition or amuse
ment open in the city.
Salesmen are deighted with the
large number of people who have al
ready visited the show. Many of these
are prospective buvers and the
moneyed people of the city.
Many of the models of the various
makes are being exhibited at the
show for the first time in Harris

Municipal Coal Pile Is
Devised by Floyd Hopkins
Co-operating with Mayor Keister
and the Associated Aid Societies in
an effort to relieve suffering by the
poor people of the city who have no
coal, Wilmer & Vincent have devised
a "Give a Bucket of Coal" campaign,
which will be put into vogue at their
various Harrisburg theaters during
the latter part of the week.
Members of the audiences at the
Majestic, Colonial and Orpheum on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday will
be given the opportunity to help the
needy In their present predicament
by contributing a bushel of coal.
Cards will be supplied to persons at
tending the theaters and those who
haVe coal in the cellar and are will
ing to part with one bushel of it for
charity's sake will be asked to sign
the cards and give their addresses
thereon. The theater management
will then arrange to have the coal
collected, and a sort of municipal
coal pile will be arranged out or
which the deserving poor of the city
will be supplied with fuel.
"No one need fear that the coal
will be given to underserving people,
for every application will be investi
gated. first to ascertain if the ap
plicant has any coal, and secondly
by the Associated Aid Societies as to
whether the applicant's circum
stances are such that warrant the
contribution of free coal," said
Manager C. Floyd Hopkins. Secre
tary McCandles of the Associated
Charities is working in co-operation
with the theaters on this movement.
While we call it a 'give a bushel of
coal' campaign there is nothing to
prevent those who can afford it from
giving several bushels or a ton. It
Is all for a good cause."
Deserving persons who desire help
from the "theatrical coal pile" are
instructed to make aplication to the
Majestic theater in writing.

partment for enlistment of men when
the monthly examination of appli
cants is held at the Capitol late this
week. Most of the vacancies have
been caused by men whose terms
expired entering the Army or Navy
and a number of others will probably
enter National service during the
spring. The State Police authori
ties have called heavily upon their
waiting list and the training schools
at the barracks have been busy placesj

For Skins Affected
by Winds and Weather
This is the season when she who
would have a spotless, lily-white,
satiny complexion should turn her
thoughts to mercoiized wax. the Arm
friend of th<> winter girl. Nothing so
effectually overcomes the despoiling
efTects o4 piercing winds and biting
cold temperatures. The wax literally
absorbs the chapped, reddened or
coarsened cuticle, bringing forth a
brand new skin; dear, soft and girl
ishly beautiful. An ounce of mercol
ized wax, obtainable at any driA;-
store, applied nightly like cold cream,
and washed oft mornings, will gradu
ally improve the worst complexion.
She who coddles herself ail day in
an overheated house and finds her
skin Hushed and flabby as a conse
quence. can quickly freshen up for the
.evening by just bathing her face in a
lotion made by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel. She'll find this most refresh
ing. It smooths out wrinkles and
draws in the saggy tissue. —Advertise-
