Relief from Eczema
Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at SI.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.

SATURDAY EVENING, . HBRWSBmid |HI TELBQRIPa APRIL'2O, 1918.
By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien
(Copyright, 1918, by Pat Alva O'Brien.)
Ed the German practice of torpedo
ing these vessels on the score that
they also carried munitions! When
I pointed out to him that France
would hardly he sending munitions
to England, he lost interest in the
argument.
Some days before I had made up
my mind that Jt would be a very good
thing to get hold of a map of Ger
many, which I knew was in the pos
session of one of the German inter
preters, because I realized that If
ever the opportunity came to make
my escape, such a map might s be of
the greatest assistance to me.
With the idea of stealing this map.
accordingly, a lieutenant and I got
in front of this interpreter's window
one day and engaged In a very hot
argument as to whether Heidelberg
was on the Rhine or not, and we
argued back and forth so vigorously
that the German came out of his
room, map in hand, to settle it. After
the matter was entirely to
our satisfaction, he went back Into
his room and I watched where he
put the map,
When, therefore, I learned that I
was on my way to Germany, I real
ized that it was more important
than ever for me to get that map,
and with the help of my friend, we
got the interpreter out of his room
on Some pretext or another, and
while he was gone I confiscated the
map from the book in which he
kept it and concealed it in my sock
underneath my legging. As I had
anticipated, it later proved of the
utmost value to me.
I got it none too soon, for half an
hour later we were on our-"way to
Ghent. Our party consisted of five
British officers and one French of
ficer. At Ghent, where we had to
wait for several hours for another
train to take us direct to' the prison
in Germany, two other prisoners
were added to our party.
In the interval we were locked in
a room at a hotel, a guard sitting
at the door with a rifle on his knee.
It would have done my heart good
for the rest of my life if I could
have gotten away then and fooled
that Hun —he wan so cocksure.
Later we were marched to the
train that was to convey us- to Ger
many. It consisted of some twelve
coaches, eleven of them containing
troops going home on leave, and the
twelfth reserved for us. We were

placed in a fourth-class compart
ment with old, hard, wooden seats.,
a filthy floor and no lights save a
candle placed there by a guard.
There were eight of us prisoners
and four guards.
As we sat In the coach we were
an object of curiosity to the crowd
who gathered at the sta-tion.
"Hope you have a nice trip!" one
of them shouted sarcastically.
"Drop me a line when you get to
Berlin, will you?" shouted another In
broken English.
"When shall we see you again?"
asked a third.
"Remember me to yooir friends,
will you? Yoii'll find plenty where
you're going!" shouted another.
Pat's "Report Courteous"
The German officers made no ef
fort to repress the crowd; In fact,
they joined in the general laughter
which followed every saJly.
I called to a German officer who
was passing our window.
"You're an officer, aren't you?" I
asked, respectfully enough.
"Yes, what of it?" he rejoined.
"Well, in England," I said, "we let
your officers who are prisoners ride
first-class. Can't you fix it so that
we can be similarly treated, or at
least be transferred to' second-class
compartment?"
"If I had my way," he replied,
"you'd ride with the hogs!"
Then he turned to the crowd and
told them of my request and how
he had answered me, and they all
laughed hilariously.
This got me pretty hot.
"That would be a damned sight
better than riding with the Ger
mans!" I yelled after him, but if he
considered that a good joke, too, he
didn't pass it on to the crowd.
"Some months later when I had the
honor of telling my story to King
George, he thought this incident was
one of the best jokes he had ever
heard. I don't believe he ever
laughed harder in his life.
Before our train pulled out, our
guards had to present their arms
for inspection and their rifles were
loaded in our presence to" let us
know that they meant business.
From the moment the train start
ed on its way to Germany, the
thought kept coming to my head that
unless I could make my escape be
fore we reached that reprisal camp
I might as well make up my mind,
as far as I was concerned, the war
was over.
Plan to Kscape Turned Down
It occurred to me that if the
eight of us in that car could jump
at a given signal and seize those
four Hun guards by surprise, we'd
have a splendid chance of besting
them and jumping off the train
when it first slowed down, but when
I passed the idea on to my com
rades they turned it down.
Even if the plan worked* out as
gloriously as I had pictured, they
pointed out, the fact that so many
of us had escaped would al
most inevitably result in our recap
ture. The Huns would have scoured
Belgium till they had got us and
then we would all be shot. Perhaps
they were right.
Nevertheless, I was determined
that, no matter what the others de
cided to do, I was going to make one
bid for freedom, come what might.
As we passed through village after
village in Belgium and I realized
that we were getting nearer and
nearer to that dreaded reprisal
camp, I concluded that my one and
only chance of getting free before
we reached it was through the win
dow! I would have to go through
that window while the train was
going full speed, because if I waited
until it had slowed up or stopped
entirely, it would be a simple matter
for the guards to overtake or shoot
me.
I opened the window. The guard
who sat opposite me—so close that
his feet touched mine and the stock
of his gun which he held between
his knees occasionally struck my
foot—made no objection, imagining
no doubt that I found the car too
warm or that the smoke, with which
the compartment was filled, annoyed
me.

CLEAN-UP WEEK
FOR WHOLE STATE
Governor Brumbaugh Issues
Proclamation Which Calls
For General Work
The week beginning May 6 is to
be "clean-up week" in Pennsylvania
according to a proclamation issued
here to-day by Governor Martin G.
Brumbaugh, who also suggests that
one day of the week be set apart as
t "children's day" when thought is to
be given to the welfare of the boys
and girls.
In his proclamation the Governor
refers to action by the President and
says:
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, As* our men in
answer to national need are giving
themselves freely to the lofty service
of humanity and righteousness, it is
incumbent upon all of us to do our
utmost to conserve the health and
the lives of our people and thus
maintain at home a virile citizenry
capable of maximum efficiency in
every line of endeavor, and
WHEREAS, The season is now
apporaching when the death rate
mounts to its apex and causes the
greatest degree of impairment to
our efficiency due to illness, much of
wjiich arises through neglect from
preventable diseases, and inasmuch
as this is particularly true of our
children it is imperative to con
serve the health and safety of those,
our loved ones, at the time when
dread disease most readily invades
our homes, and
WHEREAS, The President of the
United States by proclamation has
urger a country-wide effort to main
tain the health and save the lives
of our children, thus giving sanc
tion to the necessary acts for the
attainment of health and safety, In
cluding the important movement
known as "Clean-up Week", and
WHEREAS, The opening season
shows our houses and environment
littered with disease-bearing waste
of many kinds which chould at once
be collected and destroyed to save
human life and to conserve human
health:
NOW, THEREFORE. I, Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do
hereby urge and direct that the
week beginning May 6th, 1918, be
observed everywher in this Common
wealth as
CLEAN-UP WEEK,
Uporf which week X call upon all
citizens to take action in conjunction
with local health * authorities,
councilmanic bodies. Boards of
Trade, Chambers of Commerce,
committees of Public Safety, chari
table and philanthropic organiza
tions and kindred bodies of worthy
and concerned citizens to the end
that all waste and useless materials
in and about our homes may be
effectually disposed of, and
I /especially urge that one day of
this week shall be known and
observed universally as
CHILDREN'S, DAY,
upon which day special thought be
given to the counsels of the State
Department of Health and every
effort be made to help make the
Commonwealth safe for children.
Surely no holier duty rests upon us
than to guard these little ones so
fresh from the hands of God.
The importance of this service is
so paramount that I cordially com
mend to our entire citizenry the vital
value of making this war year a
children's year in which we shall de
vote constantly large portions of
our time and energy to making chil
dren safe and the entire population
freee from disease. If we are really
in this war of democracy and justice
the duty is manifest —we must care
for the children and see that they
grow into strong, healthy members
of the great society that shall per
petuate the fair name and fame of
Pennsylvania.
School Children Show
the Way to Patriotism
by Buying Liberty Bonds
Here's another human interest
narrative of the patriotic generosity
of Harrisburg children. It tells of
the Woodward school, Eighteenth
and Herr streets, a school with only
seven rooms, but goodness knows
patriotism does not necessarily
measure by bulk. Seven rooms house
the industrious, America-loving
youthful populace which has turned I
in a total of $4,708.75 for national)
help. Think this over, you who have!
not even bought one Baby Bond.
As for record, the Telegraph can
not vouch precisely, but it believes
that one room. Miss Walzer's, seventh
grade, has any other schoolroom
topped in the city. Her scholars
have invested the largest amount of
any in the building and, until chal
lenged, will claim the blue ribbon.
Their total up to date is $1,057.25.
Second to this room is that of Mr.
Holmes, second and third grades,
where the pupils have bought $943
worth of government securities: and
third on the honor roll is Mr. Hum
mer's room, eighth grade, with
$714.15.
There is no telling what Wood
ward will register, for every pupil
is saving up to purchase more be
fore school closes. In addition to
Bonds and Thrift Stamps this school i
has given to Red Cross and Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. C. A. for war pur
poses the sum of $139.50, which
runs up its grand total of contribu
tion to Uncle Sam In his mighty bat
tle for liberty to $4,708.75.

movement with her
"A Girl ]*o Man virile play, "A Girl

seems more than likely to sweep over
the entire country. Miss Neiland has
become an unintentional reformer be
cause of her expose of vicious condi
tions, which unfortunately exist in
all thickly populated communities to
such an extent that the very founda
tions of the moral sfcnicture of com
ing generations are threatened unless
they are soon corrected, and which
laudable result cannot be satisfac
torily achieved without concerted ac
tion. "A house divided within itself
must fall" is an old but true saying,
and it is to prevent any such catas
trophe that Miss Neiland exposes the
unfortunate conditions disclosed in "A
Girl No Man Should Marry." She has
taken actual happenings for the basis
of her remarkable play, and has
dramatized them into such form that
each person who sees it must give
heed to her warning. The indications
are that the Orpheum will be crowded
to witness this intersting drama when
it closes its two days' engagement to

a production as his. Thurston, aside
from his skill as a magician, is ex
ceptionally facile as an entertainer.
It is said that his present program
is more varied and interesting than
ever. It is staged dramatically, the
breathless condition among his audi
ence is worked up by clever prelimi
naries arfd impressive staging.
Most of Thurston's new features for
this year deal with life in the after
world. such as the materialization of
ghosts and the manifestations of
spirits, his big sensation is a remark
able scenic sketch presented by a
special cast of sixteen people called
"Villa Captured," showing the most
realistic race between an automobile
and motorcycle ever staged.
"The Claim," the Metro feature ap
pearing at the Colonial Theater to
day, is a screen ver-
Editli Storey sion of the famous
in "The Claim" Broadway success
of the same name,
with talented Edith Storey in the
leading role. Many of the scenes are
laid in the west and many opportuni
ties were given for some wonderful
outdoor scenery. The play is full of
action and suspense, and is certain to
furnish enjoyable entertainment. As
for the star, she is an accomplished
artist, and it is always a pleasure to
watch her. In "The Claim" Miss
Storey is given a part that fits her
perfectly, that of the western girl,
for it will be remembered that it was
through this type of character that
she won fame back in the early days
of the moving picture.
Monday and Tuesday beautiful
Alice Brady will be starred in a
photo-drama entitled "The Knife."
"His Mother's Boy." featuring
Charles Ray, and Charlie Chaplin, in
"Behind the
Charles Ray nnil Screen," are at
Charlie Chaplin the Regent to
lat he Regent day. "His Moth-
I er's Boy" is a
' picturization of Rupert Hughes'
! story, "When Life Is Marked Down,"
with Charles Bay in the role of a
"mother's boy," who has been tied to
His mother's apron strings, and doesn't
know a little bit about the big, wide
world. Just the same, when Matthew
Denton's father died, and the stock in
the oil wells in Texas took a sudden
slump. Matthew decides to go out and
see what is the matter with it. He
does. What he finds, and what he does
makes a most interesting story, with
a wealth of action, and the romantic
clement always well to the fore. A
typical Ray part, which is quite
enough said on the subject.
After a tremendous start here on
Thursday, and even greater crowds
thronging the
"The Kaiser—The theater.vesterday.
Beast of llcrlin" "The Kaiser
The Beast of Ber
lin," a timely picture of the day, will
be shown for the last times at the
I Victoria to-day. Endorsed by the So
ciety of National Defense, and many
Government officials, the value of this
production as an educational film is
almost without par. It shows vividly
why we are fighting the Hun. and
tells the story with a graphicncss
that is beyond comparison.
Much favorable comment has been
heard at the Victoria during the first
two days of the presentation of this
1 production, of the excellent projec
tion given the picture by the opera
-1 tors. Theatergoers seldom think of
this detail, but the photoplay has been
wonderfully brought oi|t in this in
stance her 6. praise has
been given to the musical program
arranged and played' by Professors
1 Macßrlde and Macintosh. It sounds
j more like a grand patriotic concert

WAY."
