The shells were Infrequent until late
In the afternoon, when the Ameri
can artillery livened things up a bit,
firing on a town In the enemy lines
where troops had been seen.
Although the weather was bright
and clear for the first time In sev
eral days, a mist arose from the
snow and observation was obscured
by the ground haze. Aerial forces
took advantage of the improved
weather and operated freely. Groups
of enemy planes came over for
photographic work, but they were
kept high in the air by the Ameri
can anti-aircraft guns. Planes from
the American lines also were out in
force. In the trenches the men di
vided their time between watching
the aerial operations and drying
themselves out In dugouts.
First U. S. V'nit
Observation balloons were up for
the first time in several days, be
ing stationed at intervals along the
front as far as the eye could see in
both directions. For the first time in
the war an American 1 observation
balloon, fully manned and protect
ed by Americans, went up. This is
the first complete unit of the Amer
ican air service to appear in the
j field. For two days it had been
ready to ascend, the observers have
! been up in a French balloon sev
-1 eral days previously. To-day an
! American balloon company was
| working where the French hitherto
I have been.
The balloon was hauled out from
its hidden nest, and a slight delay
was experienced in getting it oft the
ground because the. telephone wires
from the basket, in which were an
American captain and lieutenant,
I were fouled. This was quickly rem
| edied and the balloon was sent up,
i remaining in the air for several
! hours. it rose higher than either
I the French or the German, in an at
j tempt to reach an altitude specially
; favorable for observation.
While it was at the highest point
1 the watchers saw two airplanes, with
the black cross of the enemy on
their wings, headed in their direc
tion. The balloon was hauled down
so that it might be grounded quick
| ly if necessary. ■ American gunners
were on duty at many places' near
by, for the balloon was protected
heavily. They stood by their guns,
j but the enemy planes, sailing across
the sky with shrapnel puffs stream
' ing out behind them like the tail of
a comet, suddenly changed their
! i-ourse and headed for home. The
i appearance of a squadron of planes,
j behind the American lines, bearing
:the Insignia of the French on their
wings, probably was the cause.

NEWS OF
MEMBERS ASKED
TO VOTE "DRY"
Bible Classes of Church to
Enroll All Voters Before
Primary Election
The executive committee of the
Church Federation, in session at the
heme of the Rev. H. H. Rupp, pastor
or the First Reformed Church, last
night, followed out the suggestion of
the Social Service Commission in re
questing the enrollment of all voters
who are church members before the
primary election.
It is the purpese of the committee
to have a personal canvass among all
church mertibers of the borough
made by the men's Bible classes of
the various churches to urge ull
church members to vote for "dry"
candidates. The committee also sent
a communication to the county com
mittee chairmen of the Democratic
and Republican parties, informing
them that they would support "dry"
candidates only.
Members of the Ministerial Asso
ciation of Steelton and Vicinity were
requested to preach sermons or
make strong announcements from
their pulpits the Sunday before the
Jjrimary election on the duties of
every citizen and voter at the elec
tion.
Through these methods members of
the Church Federation hope to en
list the support of all church mem
bers in an effort to secure prohibi
tion. The committee also endorsed
the organization of "Pocket Testa
ment Leagues'" in the churches of
Steelton. The purpose of this or
ganization is to encourage every
man and boy of Steelton to carry a
Testament and attend church serv
ices.
Several changes were made In the
commissions. Dr. J. A. McCurdy was
made a member of the Social Service
Commission, W. R. Lewis appointed
a member of the Commission on Re
ligious Education and George S.
Good a member of the Friendship
and Good will Commission. An

tist and Episcopal Churches were

HOW I DARKENED
MY GRAY HAIR
| Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe
That She Used to Darken Her
Gray Hair
For years I tried to restore my
gray hair to its natural color with
the prepared dyes and stains, but
none of them gave satisfaction and
they were all expensive. I finally
ran onto a simple recipe which I
mixed at home that gives wonderful
results. I gave the recipe, which is
as follows, to a number of my
friends, and they are all delighted
with It.* To 7 ozs. of water add a
j small box of Barbo Compound, 1 oz.
of bay rum and M oz of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost.
Use every other day until the hair
becomes the required shade. It will
not only darken the gray hair, but
make it soft and glossy. It is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub off.

Boil Water
Oil account of the shortage of
water in tin- borough all resi
dents who are obliged to use
water from sources other than
borough supply are requested to
thoroughly boil for twenty min
utes all water used for either
drinking or cooking purposes.
By 12 o'clock to-night borough
officials hope to have water in all
tilt mains, and discontinue pumping
into the pipe lines from Harrisburg's
supply, according to Oliver P. Bas
kin, superintendent of the borough
water departmentT"this morning.
Mr. Baskin said at noon to-day
that practically the entire town was
setting water and tharhe did not be
lieve it would go down before the
filters at the plant were repaired.
After the repairs are made it will be
possible to pump the mains full and
start pumping into the reservoir.
The water was shut off last night
between 9 and 3 o'clock. Residents
drawing from the pipe lines were
able to get water from the supply
pumped from Harrisburg's mains.
During the shutdown the water was
drained from one of the three filters
enabling workmen to release the
air. This filter was scraped and
repaired and placed into service this
morning, while another one was
taken off. Workmen hope to have
the second filter repaired early this
afternoon and the third late to
night.
State officials refused to allow the
local authorities to put Mr. Baskin's
method into use. The treating of
water by this method. Is said to be
similar to that used in other parts
o{ the state.
Sessions of the borough schools
resumed this morning after a sus
pension of two days. The Major
Bent, Fothergill and East buildings
were open during that time, not de

ment last night urged every person
to boil the water not being taken
from the borough's supply.

COMMISSIONERS'
PROPOSE CHANGES
[Continued from First l'age-]
commissioners the sheriff and the
prothonotary.
The commissioners would also
abolish the office of real estate as
sessors throughout the county and
place the duty of assessing properties
in the hands of a board of tax ap
praisers, to consist of two men, one
appointed by the court and the
other by the county commissioners,
who would be paid yearly salaries
commensurate with their duties and
who would be experienced in real
estate values. It Is the opinion of
the commissioners that these men
should serve four year terms each.
To Get Before legislature
The report, suggests the advisabil
ity of abolishing the office of cor
oner but it Is not made exactly clear
to whom the commissioners would
then entrust the duties now em
braced by that office.
The oft-discussed receiver of taxes
for third claps cities, which has been
before the Legislature repeatedly in
sessions past, is recommended by thi
commissioners, who would do away
with tax collectors and save the tax.
payers thousands of dollars in com
missions.
The commissioners propose to lay
these matters before the state con
vention of county commissioners
next fail in an effort to get endorse
ment for Legislative action next
spring.
Road Building Views
The report goes at some length
intp the subject of road building,
the commissioners reflecting their
stand in the Berks-Dauphin im
provement by holding it to be the
duty of the state to build the main
highways while the commissioners
give aid in the re-constructing of
township roads, especially those
which are feeders to the main high
ways. This was the position as
sumed by the Dauphin county com
missioners when asked by Highway
Commissioner O'Nell to pay a share
of the cost of re-building the Berks-
Dauphin turnpike between here and
Reading within the limits of
Dauphin county. In the past two
years the commissioners have spent
$8,250 on improvements to the
Horseshoe and Peters Mountain
roads.
The board proposes to erect one
large and several small bridges this
year. The large structure Is to re
place the present antiquated bridge
over the Swatara creek between tills
city and Hummelatown.

Drive the Liquor Habit
From Your Home
CAN BE DONE SECRETLY.
New Yerk—Physicians and drug
gists unhesitatingly recommend Tes
cum powders for the liquor habit in
any form. They quickly destroy the
craving and make whiskey and other
alcoholic beverages repugnant. Drug
gists will tell you Tescum is selling
better than any other remedy for the
liquor habit. There is a reason for
this. It is because it gives better sat
isfaction. One physician says: "I can
stand in the door of my home and
throw a stone into a neighbor's yard
to whom I Kave Tescum powders for
drunkenness and he was completely
cured. Have also cured a large num
ber of other patients." A druggist
reports: "Tescum is having an enor
mous sale. It gives excellent satis
faction." A lady recently wrote: "I
have used Tescum on my husband
secretly and he has not taken a drink
in three months." Another lady
says: "I only wish I had known of
Tescum before." Here is another
who has tried it: "After taking two
boxes of Tescum I did not crave
liquor." Another writes: "I don't
think it's expensive at all. Just think
of the thousands of dollars he has
spent for whiskey. The few dollars
I spent for Tescum has been worth
thousands." Here is an extract from
another letter: "I sent a box of
Tescum to my friend, Mrs. C. M., for
her to try on her husband. Hope she
will be as successful as I have been,
as it is wonderful. I will never tell
my husband what cured him." And
so on it goes, one enthusiastic report
after another. If you have a relative
or friend who drinks, just try it for
a few weeks and note the marvelous
change. They will soon complain
that drink does not taste the same,
and in a short time they will stop
altogether and never know the rea
son why.
Note —A leading druggist, when
shown the above article, said: "Yes
Tescum Is a very remarkable remedy
for the drink habit. It is harmless,
wonderfully effective und is 'having
an enormous Rale. I advise everyone
who wishes to destroy the liquor
habit to give it a trial." You take no
risk with Tescum, as it is sold tn this
city under a steel-bound money re
fund guarantee by all druggists, in

SCORES LOST AS
LINER IS SUNK
[Continued from First Page.]
There were 610 persons aboard,
nearly 600 of whom have been land
ed at an Irish port. The Calgarian
was struck by four torpedoes.
The Allan liner Calgarian was a
vessel of 17,515 tons gross, 568 feet
long and seventy feet of beam. She
was built in Glasgow In 1914.
There are no published records of
the recent movements of the Cal
garian which for some time has
been in the service of the British
government. The last report given
out concerning the liner was in April
of 1916, when she sailed from Hal
ifax for England with Canadian
troops.
A most unusual circumstance in
connection with the sinking of the
Calgarian is the fact tlTat she was
struck by four torpedoes. So far as
published reports have shown, in no
previous case has a merchantman
been subjected to such a heavy at
tack by submarines. Evidently the
Germans concentrated U-boats to
ensure the sinking of the liner.
New York. March 6.—The Allan
liner Calgarian, torpedoed off the
Irish coast, has been for some
months serving as a British cruiser,
converted from the status of a mer
chantman. convoying cargo ships be
tween British ports and Nova Sco
tia, according to officers here of the
Canadian-Pacific Ocean Service, Ltd.,
owners of the Allan line. The head
offices of this company are in Mont
real.
Montreal, March 6.—While thei
British steamship Calgarian has been I
on cruiser duty along North Atlantic |
trade routes virtually since the warj
began, she also has made several
special trips between England nnd:
Halifax with distinguished passeng- I
ers. On one occasion she carried Sir'
Robert Borden, the Canadian prime!
minister, and on another she brought j
over the Duke of Devonshire, gover- I
nor-general of Canada, after taking
his predecessor in oflice, the Duke
of Connaught, back to England.
