American Mechanics in
France Are Numerous
and Always "Brilliant"
By Associated Press
I.ondon, April 5.—A tribute to
American aviators with the British
urniy in France, who are "numerous
and always brilliant," is paid by the
correspondent of the Daily News. He
fays American aviation mechanics
also have rendered splendid aid.
Describing the ail-fighting on the
western front, the correspondent
says never before in any army have
airplanes been used in such preat
concentration. On one sector of the
battlefront as many as 300 machines
uro in the air at one time. The use [
of machine guns on enemy troops,
guns and transports by low-flying I
machines, he adds, has been carried j
to a point far beyond anything in I
previous experience.

Alkali Makes Soap ,
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos J
contain too much ilkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsifled cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, i
and a few ounces will last the whole J
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa- j
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful j
Is all that is required. It makes j
an abundance of rich, creamy lather, j
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out !
easily. The hair dries quickly and i
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking ]
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to j
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes J
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.—Adv.

FRIDAY EVENING
Kansas City Suffers
Fire Loss of $2,500,000;
Several Fires at Once
By Associated Press
KnnxaN City. Mo., April s.—Con
fronted by a loss of approximately
$!!,500,000, tlie wholesale district to
day began to take stock of the dam
r.ge wrought by a fire which last
night destroyed three city blocks of
buildings and damaged many others.
Thomas P. Flahive, chief of police,
said reports to him indicated the lire
had "started in several places at the
same time." He said he had no pos
itive information that the fire was
intentionally set. Other reports were
that the fire started in a car of bas
kets. No war materials are stored
or being manufactured in the dis
trict, it is said.
Six firemen were injured, none se
riously, and a boy was run over and
killed by a fireman's motorcar.
Buildings occupied by eighteen busi
ness concerns were destroyed. The
old Astor House, famous years ago
when the Union station was located
in the West Bottoms, was one of the
buildings destroyed.
Cost of Ash Cleanup
Averages S2OO a Day
Harrisburg's general ash clean
up cost $4,122 from March 7 to 30,
inclusive, according to a bill which
has been submitted to Commissioner
S. F. Hassler by the Bureau of Ash
and Garbage Inspection. The daily
cost ranged from $l6O to $215 de
pending upon the number of men
and teams emplted.
Commissioner Hassler said the,
bill was slightly higher than had
been anticipated, but declared the
clean-up was being done systemati
cally and with fair weather should
be completed before May 1. The
charges on the bill are made as fol
lows: Jumbo ash wagons, $lO a
day; dump wagons, $8 a day; carts,
•50 a day; laborers, $3 a day; three
foremen, $lO a day. The three fore
men are kept on daily it was ex
plained, while the number of wagons
and carts varies, depending tipon the
number of men who report in the
morning.
FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots
There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as the prescription of othlne
—double strength—is guaranteed to
remove these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine—
double strength—from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see
that even the worst freckles have
begun to disappear, while the light
er ones have vanished entirely. It
is seldom that more than an ounce
is needed to completely clear the
skin and gain a beautiful clear com
plexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles.
Governor Urges Churchmen
to Vote For Candidates
Pledged to Prohibition
"It is the urgent duty of every
church member to strike a vital
blow at the liquor traffic by voting
at the primaries and at general elec
tion only for such men as will be
pledged to assist in ratifying the*
Sheppard prohibition amendment,"
spoke Governor Brumbaugh last
night at Stevens Memorial Metho
dist Church. He was addressing
the men's Bible class, one of the most
industrious and enterprising? asso
ciations of its kind in the city. There
were 160 of these workers present
last evening, nearly the full mem
bership, and their response to the
Governor's eloquent appeal was to
sign pledge cards to work and vote
only for the sort of candidates speci
fied.
The Governor had for his sub
ject "The Duties of Christian Citi
zenship" and a good part of his talk
was devoted to the situation which
will present itself when the soldiers
return from war. The Federal gov
ernment, he said, had discovered
that you cannot make good soldiers
with rum and so it has eliminated
the evil. It is now our bounden
duty to wipe out the evil at home
so that when soldiers return" they
may have no more temptation than
when in camp or in the trench.
CAMP CURT IN" SCHOOLS
SUPPORT WAR WORK
The teachers and pupils of the
Camp Curtln building have respond
ed generously to all the war relief
movements inaugurated during the
past year. All pupils hav® been
enrolled in the Junior Red Cross,
with added contributions sufficient
to register 200 pupils more than the
entire enrollment. One school, on
the basiß of twenty-five cents per
member, "scored 400 per cent., and
another 275 per cent. Seventy-three
pupils enrolled as Senior Red Cross
members. The pupils alone have in
vested $1,950 in Liberty Bonds and
over S3OO In Baby Bonds. One
hundred and twenty-four of them
are now buying Thrift Stamps; they,
also contributed S3O to the Y. M.
C. A. work. A goodly nnmber of
sweaters, scarfs, helmets, wristlets,
socks and washcloths have been
knitted by pupils, and sufficient
patches for fourteen comfort robes.
One school has sent 386 magazines
and booklets to navy yards, and has
made eighty-nine hospital scrap
books and sent them to France.
Great quantities of rags have been
shipped by the smaller children. Be
sides this the teachers have invested
$1,325 in Liberty Bonds arid con
tributed $75 toward Y. M. C. A., K.
of C., and similar work. Several
of them have sent two boxes of
clothing and other material to
France, costing over $22. Surely a
creditable record for the pupils and
teachers of Camp Curtin.
