In the east a series of silk thefts

Ledger says:
"Silk thieves working in organized
bands throughout the New York and

on shipments of silk, declining any

freight they are not able to protect.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of silk manufactured in Phila

been stolen in transit within the last

worked so shrewdly that neither

Railroad Clerks Protest
Wage Adjustments
New Haven, Conn., May 15. —
Protests against the wage adjust
ments of the Federal wage board as
recommended to Director General
McAdoo have been made by the New
England lodges of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Clerks, it was stated
yesterday. R. G. Stearns, chairman
for the brotherhood of New Eng
land, to-day said that the clerks
would owe the Government money
if the recommendations become ef
fective.
The recommendations, it is point
ed out, would make the increases
retroactive to December 15 last.
Mr. Stearns says that clerks have
received several increases in wages
since that date, bringing the total
increase to a greater amount than is
recommended. The clerks, Mr.
Stearns claims, work from ten to
thiiteen hours a day and they wish
an eight-hour day, as the trainmen
have.
Busy Days on Reading;
Rutherford Yards Lead
These are busy days on the Read
ing Railway, and the crews are
making all the time they care to.
During the forty-eight hours end
ing at midnight Sunday, the reports
show that the trainmen handled
on the Reading and Harrisburg divi
sions 37,357 cars. The bulk of the
eastbound freight on the Lebanon
Valley was bituminous coal. The
number of cars of anthracite han
dled during the same period was
2.512 cars.
On Saturday and Sunday the
Reading Railway Company handled
east from Rutherford 3,84ti cars,
principally soft coal and coke. Thus
far during the month of May the
company is 2,700 cars ahead of the
movement out of Rutherford, com
pared with the same period last
year.
Women Make Good, but —
They Always Get Married
Philadelphia, May 15. —Women

Walter Thayer. general coal
freight agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, speaking yesterday before
the Philadelpnia Association of
Credit Men at its luncheon at the
Adelphia, said that out of the 7,000
women now employed by the com
pany on its lines east of Pittsburgh,
not one has failed to make good.
"But they don't stick long
enough," he said. "The railroads
prefer to pick for promotion those
in the ranks who have made good.
If women don't remain on the jobs
long enough, the railroads will have,
a hard time finding employes suited
for the big jobs that are being
thrown open daily."

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepar
ed shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary muisifled cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff

Kenny and Hollis are scoring a
laughing hit at the Majestic tlie early
half of this week. Their
At the comedy is of the nut va-
Miijextie riety and gets good ap
plause. The headliner is
Henri De Vires' sensational vaude
ville production, "Submarine K-7." The
story is intensely dramatic and is
told in true dramatic fashion. It
portrays the true spirit of our under
seas lighters. Other acts on the bill
are Hamilton and Gordon, clever va
riety entertainers; Greenly and Wil
liams, in a lively song and dance of
fering, many of the steps being
adaptations of old-time Cakewalk
I figures, and Irene Lateour, novelty
j equilibrist.
The feature attraction for the last
| half of the week will be Clayton, the
j Master of Mystery. He claims to call
. your name aloud, tell your every fear,
I hope, ambition, better than you can
I yourself. Grouped around this offer
j ing are: Willard and Wilson, present
ing their amusing comedy sketch en-
I titled "The Crime Hunters;" Hugh
: Blaney, one of Harrisburg's popular
singing comedians, and one other act.
To-day and to morrow, the Colo
nial Theater will show as its feature
an eight-part pa-
Arnold Duly trloticphoto-drama,
In "My Own entitled '(My Own
United State*" United States," star
ring Arnold Daly.
Philip Nolan. 3d, refuses to fight for
the cause of democracy. His father,
Philip Nolan, who lias failed in his
efforts to convince his son, then lays
bare all the details of the shameful
treason of his own ancestor, the first
Philip Nolan. "The Man Without a
Country." The father's story shows
how the first Philip Nolan played in
to the hands of Aaron Burr; how
Thomas Jefferson was elected Presi
dent over Burr; how Alexander Ham
ilton prevented the conscienceless
Burr becoming Governor of New
York; the duel between Hamilton and
Burr; how Philip Nolan was later ar
rested on his wedding flight for aid
ing Burr, who had conspired to start
a rival Government in the South to
wage war against the United States,
for saying "Damn the United States.
I wish I might never hear its name
again," and how Philip Nolan died
kissing the flag of the country he had
execrated. Deeply moved, Philip No
lan, 3d, loses no time in joining the
boys in khaki.
The invasion of Belgium by the
Germans, the greatest historic event
the world will ever
"The Belelan" know, forms the
at the Victoria climax in Sydney
Olcott's production.
"The Belgian." which will be shown
at the Victoria Theater to-day and
to-morrow.
Scenes of the desolution wrought
in the little kingdom of grief by the
Huns are said to be depicted with
striking realism. Veteran British and
French officers have informed Mr.
Olcott that he has succeeded in con
verting the tragedy of Belgium to the
screen with great accuracy.
The story of the play revolves
about the lives of two simple Belgi
ans and Mr. Olcott is said to have in
vested his subject with heart appeal.
Not a great deal of fontaKe is devoted
to the battle scenes, but those that are
shown will go down in screen his
tory as being some of the best in
film.
William S. Hart will be shown at
the Itegent to-day in "Selfish Yates."
The folly of
William S. Hurl selfishness and
In "Selllsli Yates" the power of in
nocence and love
to transform the natures of men,
form the basic ideas of the story of
"Selfish Yates." It is a typical Hart
picture, plus a study of human psy
chology and character development.
"M'Liss," Mary Pickford's latest
Artcraft picture, based upon the. story
by Bret Harte, will be shown to-mor
row. Friday and Saturday. According
to those who have seen advance dis
plays of the picture, it is fully up
to the high Artcraft standard. The
play is said to be filled with strong
dramatic action and heart appeal.
Miss rickford will be supported by
a notable list of players, including.
Theodore Roberts. Thomas Meighan,
Tully Marshall and others.
The beasts of the African jungle
romped over the screen last night at
the motion picture pre
"Tnrunn of sentation of Edgar Rice
theApcM" Burroughs' "Tarzan of
the Apes." at the Or
pheum Theater. Its chief claim to at
tention is the costly realism of its
setting—it is said to have cost $.100,-
000 to prepare—although there is also
a mvstery story of the English fam
ily in search of their long lost son.
Gordon Griffith, who played the boy,
almost suggested at times that par
win's theory of evolution was true as
he tlung liimself from branch to
branch. This was heightened by the
lions, elephants, and the many va->
rieties of apes and monkeys that
wandered in upon the scene, -icsldes
