STEELTON NEWS ITEMS MOVIES HAVE A BAD INFLUENCE Ciiief Grove Savs Pictures Cause Boys to Commit Bobberies in Borough Following the report of the Har risburg Ministerial Association con densing moving pictures. Chief of Grove this morning declared I hat boys committing robberies in the borough wore influenced in such actions by seeing too many movies of the wrong kind. The. robbery of Claude Brinser's Hardware store on Tuesday was known by police to have been com mitted by boys. Several boys were under vigilance but arrests were not necessary as parents of the boys came to their aid. On Wednesday night Mr. Brinser •was roused out of his sleep by par ents of the boys anil all the stolen property turned over to him. Mr. Brinser at the request of the par ents who are well-known residents of Enliaut will not prosecute the boys, he said. The boys whose names have been withheld are fifteen and seventeen years old. and are not of mischievous dispositions. The police department several weeks ago broke up a gang of boy outlaws who were entering and rob bing stores in the borough. The gang was composed of eight mem bers. two of which have been sent, to reformatories. Six of the boys have been released on probation and are back in the borough- Chief of Police Grove is sure that seeing too many movies and reading novels has caused the hoys to com mit the robberies. In a statement this morning lie advised parents to pay closer attention to the inclina tions of their children on seeing cer tain kinds of movies and prohibit them from seeing pictures in which the plots arc too deep for an un developed mind to understand.

The general custom is to: sow timothy seed in the fall with! the wheat which under favorable | conditions will winter very will, j Securing a stand of timothy Is not | very difficult, but the clovers, which! are more deeply rooted, are more I j difficult to carry .through the winter] weather. Much of the clover seed is sown j in the spring when the soil is honey ! combed by freezing, which gives the , seed some chance of being covered! by the spring rains; but on the clay j soils, which become more compact.! it is more difficult to get a good hatch of clover. Much of the seed i lies exposed on the top of the ground and much is picked up by birds and most of it is lost by the time it ger minates, especially after the weather! is rather dry and high warm winds! prevail. "A good practice after the seed i is sown," says J. Aldus Herr, farm I adviser of the Department of Agri- j culture, "is to go over the field with! a fifty-tooth spike harrow which will break the crust and cover some i of the seed which will not leave' j it exposed to the hot sun when ger | mination is taking place. Here Is I where much of the seed is lost. It | should be covered slightly. There are : grass seed drills that do fairly good work on sand or loamy soils but on | heavy, clay soils they are an utter j failure. The harrowing will not in ; jure the wheat but will be a benefit. The high price of clover seed this season will he the cause of many farmers not sowing the usual amount per acre and there is danger of adulteration especially when the price is as high as it is this season. \ Careless Use of Soap Spoils the Hair j Soap should be used very care j fully, if you want to keep your hair I looking its best. Most soaps and I prepared shampoos contain too much ] alkali. This dries the scalp, makes j the Jiait' brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is I just ordinary mulsitied cocoanut oil ! (which is pure and greaseless), and j is better than the most expensive j soap or anything else you use. | One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse'the hair and scalp thorough- I ly. Simply moisten the hair with >va ter and rub it in. Unmakes an abun dance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every par- I tide of dust, dirt, dandruff and cx ! cessive oil. The hair dries quickly I and evenly, and it leaves the scalp I soft, and the hair line and silky, I bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to j manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil j at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and : a few ounces will supply every mem -1 her of the family for months.—Adv.
