MONDAY EVENING,
A SQL/A RE-TOED TALK TO ORDINA R Y
FOLKS, BY AN ORDINARY FELLOW
Some months I make J125; some
months $l5O.
1 have a wife and two children. 1
pay S3O rent. My coal bill runs me
$4 or $5 a month on the average.
The light is $1.50 on the average. My
life insurance costs me SSjU week. 1
don't ordinarily have a lot of money
left out of my pay when the bll|s are
all paid. Hut, 1 figure that I'm giving
money in that life insurance, and so
I haven't paid much attention to
savings .tveounts or things of that
sort. The other day the wife said to
me:
"Paul." did you ever stop to think
that while you're taking care of me
and the children if you die you're not
taking care of you and me if you
live'.' It's this way: why can't we
save some money for you and me —
the same as ■ you are saving money
for me and the children through the
life insurance?"
"A fat chance," says I. "We can
take some of the money we throw in
explicitly with having brought down
an allied airplane.
Taptain Von Richthoten came into
prominence as leader of "flying cir
cus." a squadron of German aviators
which fought in a peculiar circular
formation, following each other
around so that in case one was at
tacked the next flyer could sweep the
antagonist from the rear. Recently
Emperor William conferred upon
him the Order Of the Red Eagle.

huh?" I said.
The wife laughed.
"Nope,' she said, "Not that. But
we can pay for bonds like lots of
other peoptf are doing—s2 a week
on a SIOO bond. We won't miss that.
You < spend that much money for
candy and .tobacco. Let's cut our
candy and tobacco down and put the
s2.where it will come back to us —
and in 50 little old weeks we'll have
SIOO that we wouldn't have had."
Well, that's what we did—two
weeks ago. We got $4 paid on that
SIOO bond. Here's a funny thing.
We're still having some candy and
tobacco, and the wife said to me Sun
day, "Let's JJU.V another SIOO bond,
and cut out some more things 50-50."
So that's wjhat we're going to do.
listen, I ddn't claim to be so dad
blame patriotic, when I tell you this.
But I claim ;that you can say I'm 50-

KNOW BONES ARE
IN CELLAR BY CAT
[Continued from First Page.]
Children's bones, a grave long hid
from sight, a dark hole In the cellar
and a black cat which was never
seen by thq family until last night
when it posed on the foot of a bed,
are the principal features of inter
est in the strange case.
The Bierbowers called the police
station to-day and informed the desk
officer that human bones were found
in the cellar. Investigation showed a
fresh mound of earth in a dark
corner of a dark partitioned space of
the cellar .and when the reporter
dug, lie unearthed anotTier bone. A
real bone.
Importer's Kilis Lurge
"And you can't tell me," said Mrs.
P. HamXcin, who rooms there,
"That that's not a human bone."
Reposing tastefully on the window
sill of the kitchen were three more
human (?) bones.
"They're ribs anyone can see that 1 '
exclaimed Mrs. Hamilton again. The
reporter / felt his side reflectively.
"My ribs are larger than that," ho
said. "Anyway." said the woman,
"the police think they're bones, and
it's nothing to make fun of."
AnywaS - , the family's moving.
"Who can blame us?" they say.
Human bones are not pleasant com
panions.
! "Did you scream when you saw
;i black oat on the foot of your bed
| last night?" Mrs. Hamilton was
, asked. , "Scream," she asked, "I
should say not. I ducked under the
lied clothes." The cat. Mrs. Hamil
ton said, was a total stranger to her,
j and she thinks it a strange thing that
it should appear in her room. That
; means bad luck —or bones. This
j time it meant bones.
The reporter suggested the bones
| might be those of a cat. a cat that's
I related to the black cat that in
' vaded Mrs.. Hamilton's rooms. Mrs.
I Hamilton sniffed. "Reporters don't
known everything," was the way the
reporter was informed that his theo-
I ry didn't amount to anything.
HARRISBURS TELEGRAPH
Harrisburg Point of
Distribution For Five
States, Dowdell Reports
Harrisburg has been made the dis
tributing point for five states by the
Burroughs Adding Machine Company.
Ralph W. Dowdell, the manager for
the Harrisburg district, told the
members of the Rotary Club at
luncheon at the Y. M. C. A. to-day.
Mr. Dowdell had as his guests rep
resentatives of the Burroughs com
pany from a number of surrounding
cities and gave a moving-pitture
demonstration of the invention and
growth of the adding machine indus
try in the United States. The indus
trial pictures were preceded by a
group of cartoon films going back
into the earliest methods of book
keeping that were impressive as well
as laugh-provoking.
John Heathcote presented as his
guests at the luncheon Lieutenant
Allen and Sergeant White, of the
British-Canadian Recruiting Commis
sion, who are here on recruiting
duty, and they were given a rousing
reception.
Patriotic Services Held
in All City Churches
Yesterday's patriotic services in all j
churches of Harrisburg were a most
significant events, though few realized ,
It. To- bring the nation together in i
one colossal first aid, to impress the !
I necessity of team-work, to make pa- j
trlotism synonomous with worship for |
the moment are objects that must be I
brought about and services In the |
church are one big medium. Many
of the houses of worship were beau
tifully decorated with Old Glory
brightly gleaming from every wall,
und in many churches the battle flags
of the allies were also displayed.
These did not subtract anything from
the solemnity of the house of Clod but
only tended to make the patriot's heart |
burn more warmly. Furthermore, the
preachers, no matter how orthodox or
cautious of innovations, did not hes
itate to frankly call for Liberty Bond
contributions; for saving food, and
in fact, a great population was reach
ed and impressed by these services
who may not have been convinced
until a later time. Bringing the war
close to home and fantlly and stir
ring man. woman and child to sac
rifice is what these ministers are ef
fecting by such services. Not a
preacher t.o-dar but expressed his
great enthusiasm and appreciation
for the way in which this innovation
was responded to.

By Associated Press
Chicago, April 22.—Prof. W. I.
Thomas, recently dismissed from the
University of Chicago after being ar
rested at a hotel where he had reg
istered with Mrs. R. M. Granger,

processor with the girt to discuss the I
case at the time of their arrest, but
she had been unable to find the girl
and haa come alone, he said. The
statement adds:

am capable of practices not approved
by our social traditions."
The professor and Mrs. Granger
were acquitted of a charge of dis
orderly conduct In the municipal
court last week.

Every Cent of Theater
Receipts to Go For Bonds
The Wilmer and Vincent theatrical
syndicate, which controls and op
erates' the Orplijsum, Majestic and
Colonial Theaters in this city, came
back "strong" to the recent letter of
Mayor D. L. Keister in which the
city executive asked all outside busi
ness corporations to do some of their
bond buying in Harrisburg.
Wilmer and Vincent announced to
day that during the entire week of
April 29 every penny of the receipts
at the Majestic Theater will be put
into Liberty Bonds through the Har
risburg Liberty Loan committee.
That does not mean that Wilmer and
Vincent will take the net proceeds—
after paying for the acts played dur
ing the week, the salaries of em
ployes, the overhead and cost of op
erating the theater. It means that
every dollar that goes into the box
office from the first show Monday
afternoon until the last show Monday
night goes into the Liberty Bonds.

itching is
unnecessary!
Resinol
stops it quickly
The moment that Resinol Ointment
touches itching skin the itching usually
stops and healing begins. That is why
doctors prescribe it so successfully even
in severe cases of eczema, ringworm,
rashes and many other tormenting,
disfiguring skin diseases. Aided by
warm baths with Resinol Soap, Remi
nd Ointment makes a sick skin or
scalp healthy, quickly, easily and at
little cost.
