16 NOT ALL BLOOD AND TRAGEDY IN WAR, HE WRITES Meade Detweiler, Jr., Tells of Humorous Side of Ital ian Campaign Not all blood and tragedy Is this terrible war, for youth cannot be denied, and the boys of the first American Ambulance Corps to reach Italy, among whom is Meade Det weiler Jr., of Harrisburg, know how to get all the amusement there is out of the grim afTair. Writing to his mother, Mrs. Meade Detweiler, of 21 Xorth Front street, Meade nearly al ways maintains a cheerful and semi whimsical attitude, and this too, al- RUB RHEUMATIC PA REGHT OUT Don't suffer!

The expedition which Detweiler accompanied included twenty-six am bulance cars—up-to-date machines of high power. The trip of many hun dreds of miles along the Riviera. French and Italian, he describes so vividly that the reader is hungry to go there. Once over the Italian boun dary, the young American patriotis got a perfectly overwhelming wel come, the children showering them with flowers and everybody giving what hospitality they could afford. The last letter received from Det weiler told how they were just start ing for the front battle-line, at that moment the sky being tilled with air ships, and at present he is, most likely, in the thick of the operations. The members of Detweiler's section include a number of well-known writers, tmong them Gouverneur Morris and George Buchanan Fife, and the whole company was inspired to publish a newspaper which is the most amusing sheet of the war. It is called the Avanta, and because the printshop had only a few "w" char acters the enterprising printers use a double "v".. When General Cadorna saw the first copy, declares the Avanti. he gave orders to "postpone the drive until next week" so he could revel in this masterpiece of literature. "Strike off 3,000,000 copies," he demanded. "Have one placed in each settante cinque shell. In that way we can distribute them to the German army and when they read it they will laugh themselves to deajai." All hands in tIW- s corps are working hard to learn Italian, but few have got farther than to ask for Italy's most popular dish. Instead of saying I'Pass the spaghetti," they can now say in very classic Italian: "Gimme de spaget." "We all carry dictionaries," writes Detweiler, "and it is funny to hear us trying to get the language." Detweiler knew all about the mech anism of motorcars before he went abroad last summer and hence was put into immediate service on the French front. When news c-ame that Italy was in desperate need of this kind of help the Harrisburg man was selected out of a great number for his efficiency. Detweiler tells, among other things, that the American Red Cross is doing wonderful work over there. It was on the job before the ambulance corps arrived and had al ready taken care of three of four thousand destitute persons. MEN* FAlili FROM ROOF Carlisle, Pa., Feb. I.—George B.

MOVE AFOOT TO HAVE EVERY MAN IN ARMY INSURED Local Insurance Men Issue Warning That .Govt. Offer Will Soon Be Withdrawn A warning call was sent out to day by the Central Association of Life Underwriters to friends of sol diers who have not yet taken out the Government insurance policies pro vided for rruen in the service. The time is growing very short for many of them, as all those who enlisted before October 13 must apply for in surance before February 12 or lose the opportunity for protection. The local underwriters have no connec tion with the movement other than a patriotic desire to draw the mat ter to the attention of friends of soldiers and thus to the soldiers themselves. Slow to Respond Albert A. Wert, president of the Central Pennsylvania Association of Life Underwriters, said in an inter view to-day that up to January 15 less than one-third of the men in the Army and Navy had availed them selves of the opportunity to secure life insurance as provided under the Government insurance plan. The in surance against disability and death is being furnished by the United States Uovernnient to inen and wom en in both branches of the service, bound for the front, with its attend ing dangers of injury and death, at a lower rate than any life insurance company could sell the same class of insurance in peace times. The in surance can be obtained without medical examination. The premiums are payable monthly, quarterly or annually either direct by the insured or some member of his family, or can be retained out of his pay. The insurance under the Government plan provides a regular monthly in come for the insured, if disabled while in the service, or a monthly income for twenty years for the de pendent of the insured should he die a natural death or be killed in the performance of his duties. Under the plan any person in the service may provide in advance for his pension is disabled, or for the pension he would like his wife, mother, father, sister or brother to receive should he die while the war lasts. He can arrange that pension now and not wait for the good will of Congress after the war is over. The insurance can now be obtained on the term plan in amounts from SI,OOO to SIO,OOO and changed to a more stable form of regular life in surance with the Government In surance Department, at low rates, within five years after the war. Cheapest Insurance "Undoubtedly," said Mr. Wert, "this is the cheapest life and disa bility insurance ever offered by any company or government to citizens engaged in war work. It is really furnished below actual cost. Tho small payment required is but evi dence of the good faith of the in sured. The extra mortality cost and the entire expense of administration will be borne by the Government. "The members of the Central Pennsylvania Association of Life Un derwriters are urging every man and woman they know in the service to take the limit of this insurance, namely, $10,000; and we urge those who are living in this community and who are related in any way to persons qualified to secure this insur ance to write them at once and ad vise them to apply immediately. All who enlisted before October 13, 1917, must apply for this insurance on or before February 12, 1918, or they will never be able to secure it."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPHS THE DANCING DAISIES W ITH "HENPECKED HENRY" AT THE ORPHEUM NEXT MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY Halton Powell's "Henpecked Henry," a musical comedy of the merriest sort, with a- sprightly chorus of femininity, will be seen at the Orplieum, Monday and Wednesday, with daily matinees. The comedy is broad, but the lines are so cleverly written that the humor never borders on mere burlesque. The story deals with a muclily-married man. whose wife is inclined to rule the home with an iron hand. Her tyranny leads to many funny experiences. Domestic life is always a splendid subject for stage treatment and there is no play that handles it in such an amusing: way a s does "Henpecked Henry." SCHOOL BOND ISSUE APPROVED Frank C. Foose Exptcted to Be Named Purchasing Agent Approval of the big bond issue planned by the city school board was received in a telegram from Paul M. Warburg, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, to Secretary D. D. Kammelbaugh. Dr. P. E. Downes, city school superintendent, was in Washington yesterday to explain to Government officiaJs the necessity of the bond issue. Bids for $ 103,000 and $38,000 worth of bonds are to be opened this afternoon at the regular board meeting. Chairman Warburg two days ago communicated with Mayor Keister, asking for an explanation of the need of the bond issue. The Mayor turned the inquiry over to the school authorities for a reply, Mr. Downes deciding to make one in person. The meeting this afternoon was the first one held under the revised rules. Secretary Hammelbaugh yesterday is sved the calendar of business for board action. In addition to opening bids for the bonds, other proposals will be received . for printing them and for installing new ues in a boile at Technical High School. The election of Frank C. Foose as purchasing agent for the board was expected. Mr. Foose has been filling this position under' Secretary Ham melbaugh for years and when the beard rules were changed it was de cided to make this a separate posi tion, as recommended in the school survey report. No action may be taken on tilling the positions of ac countant and superintendent of build ings. Charles E. Carpenter was rec ommended to election as an engineer at Tech High, and Charles E. Wilt as night fireman. MARTIAL LAW TIES UP GREAT PORT [Continued from First Page.] a climax and that it is los'ng its effectiveness.

Railroad Bulletins Tell of Rule infractions The discipline bulletin issued by R. K. Heading, superintendent of motive power, for the week ending January 28 shows that but three employes were disciplined or repri manded during the past week. The number is possibly the smallest since the custom of enforcing disci pline was established in the depart ment. All three men were dropped from the rolls. The bulletin issued by N. W.

One fireman was dismissed from the service for refusing to go out on a run when called. Governor Cox Urges Ex-President For Cabinet Columbus, 0., neb. 1. —Fovornor James M.

(Atmseeoemsl "OLIVES" A FINE MUSICAL COMEDY Last Two Acts on Majestic Program Get Much Applause While there are some parts of the rfferlngs on the Majestic bill for the last half which are weak for vaude ville entertainment, as a whole the program is equal to any which has been given this season. The musical I comedy and a Scotch comedian please most, judging from the applause. Following the pictures, Ella .Davail opens with aerial feats, some of which are not seen frequently except at a circus. For one person to at tempt such an offering alone is un usual and created more than ordinary interest in the a;t. Werner and As ter, male pair in song and dance, im proved with each number and gave a laughable encore. Duggan and Raymond In a comedy playlet, "They Auto Know Better," get some laughs, but could make a big success if they improved the skit so that there would be more lively repartee. Sandy Shaw, known as the Scotch comeiyan of vaudeville, is a favorite here. The audience last night fear ing lie had no more to offer after his second song, applauded until he had made a complete change and returned to the stage again. "Olives," the musical comedy which closes, is given in three scenes, two of them in full stage with special settings. The offering is replete with musical numbers. One of these is a review of big song hits in which selections from past successes, such as "The Pink Lady," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Three Twins" are given. The entire production is one of the most enjoyable which has been pre sented at the Majestic in weeks. MAX ROBERTSON.

Halton Powell's famous musical comedy, "Henpecked Henry," will be seen at the Orpheum, "Henpecked Monday and Wednes llenry" day, with daily mati- tiees, and those who like a hearty laugh and pretty girls are getting ready to enjoy themselves. This show is recognized as the fun niest on the mad. Its strong point is its laugh-provoking qualities. It is so constructed that there is no chance for anyone to withstand it. It is said the biggest grouch in the world would lie certain to capitulate to this ir resistible attraction. It is built for laughing purposes and played laugh ingly to laughter that is for an audi ence.

The photoplay is taken from the novel by Anatoie France. The story of the opera is probably well known, but in brief it tells of the love of a monk for Thais, a siren of ancient Alexandria, and the final conversion of the sinful woman to Christianity. The conclu sion is thrilling, and affords the star one of the best acting opportunities of her career. Some lavish settings have been furnished for the presenta tion of this famous opera. This pro duction will be shown at the Colonial Catarrh is Untouched by . Atomizers and Inhalers Disease Cannot Be Reached by Local Treatment. What a pity that so many people follow blindly the old-bell-weather method of treating Catarrh, and thus postpono from day to day the time when they will be free from this annoying and disgusting com plaint. The choked-up air passages are unstopped for the time being by medicated sprays and atomizers, but do they remain open? Isn't the re lief only temporary? Over and over again, these accumulations gather, because the disease which causes them is being untouched by the treatment. • Cleanse the blood thoroughly of Theater to-day and to-morrow at regular prices.
