The opening scene is the exterior
of a Pasha's garden in Egypt. In an
Oriental opening, a number of girls of
the harem sang an attractive little
song. Sophie Davis followed with
'Cleopatra Had a Jazz Band." Al
though it is a time-worn number, she
managed to win applause. Ollie
Hodges sang "That's a Baby s Prayer
at "Twilight.' and one of the big
hits of the production was scor
ed when Jimmie Hodges and
Sophie Davis sang "Sweet Lump of
Sugar." "Somebody Did Me rong.
a negro song, was given very accept
ably by Joe McGee. and Ollie Hodges
sang with the chorus. "There's Egypt
In Your Dreamy Eyes." Following
Jimmie Hodges' humorous singing or
"Cleopatra." the entire company ap
peared in a patriotic finale, which won
applause, because of the display of
the Stars and Stripes.
The plot of the play is laid in
Egypt. The battleship "Brooklyn ar

Stella are rescued and taken hack to
their homes in America. The part of
Zuleka is well taken by Dora Cullen
hine. Jimmie Hodges enacts the role
of Jimmie Green from Broadwa>.

proud of said
grouch. had better avoid seeing a
Fairbanks film, for they're sure death
on grouches and glooms. "Doug"
tirmlv believes in the "Habit of Hap
piness," which, by the way. is the
title of the particular Triangle film in
which he is seen at the Victoria Thea
ter to-morrow.
It's a safe bet that "Doug" will have
his usual large crowd of enthusiastic
admirers, and that they'll go away
with regret that the film wasn't miles
long instead of feet.
The new bill presented by Jimmie
Hodges and his company of musical
comedy folk at the
Musical Comedy Majestic yester
at the Majestic day. is one of the
most pleasing in
which this versatile comedian has
ever been seen by local audiences. The
presentation of "Broadway Jimmie."
for the last half of the week, brings
a complete change of everything ex
cept the players themselves. Three,
scenes of Egyptian atmosphere are
accorded all that is necessary in the
way of the picturesque stage setting,
the costuming of the girls is all new,
and words and the music of the piece
are. of course, entirely different from
those of the first half of the week.
This piece shows Hodges as a Broad
way Beau Brummell far from home on
the hot sands of the Egyptian desert,
where he meets up with a party of
American sailors, who join him in
robbing the harem of its beauties. The
piece is full of fun.

Those who have seen the vaudeville
bill at the Paxtang Park Theater, this
week, are loud in their
Paxtang praise of the show.
Park Luba Meroff and Com
j Theater pany, in their dainty Eu
ropean novelty offering,
j are the feature attraction with the
park show. Their act is neat, fast and
I classy, and one that appeals to every
1 vaudeville fan as the real thing in
' this line of entertainment. El Cota.
i the xylophone king, plays until he
i gets tired at every performance, and
the park audiences do not seem to be
i satisfied.
The balance of the show is made up
j of such material as one would see in
j any city theater.
I Next week. King Kelly, famous as
j a balloonist and parachute jumper,
i will be at the park with a big war
balloon and a bunch of new parachute
stunts that will give one more real
i thrills in a minute than any other at
j traction you ever saw.
, KEEP LIFE-LINE OX CHILDREN
Last summer on the Jersey coast
I I found the bathing for my two
' small boys of four and five rather
' dangerous because ot the undertow,
I so I bought twenty-five cents' worth
!of clothesline. I tied an end around
the waist of each of the two boys,
while I stood back on the beach, al
. lowing the boys as much rope as
i they needed for their pleasure. Twice
the smaller youngster was knocked
down, but was pulled in at once to
j safety. The rope was a great help
j to me, because it allowed my boys
i the pleasure of bathing in what oth-
I erwise would have been unsafe wa

SCOUTS START
BOOSTER WORK
Increased Activity For Big
Meeting For Unbelievers
Is in Evidence
Activity in boosting the meeting
for "Unbelievers" started to-day.
John D. Long, president of the
Friendship and Co-operative Club,
will name a scout committee. This
aggregation of boosters will visit all
departments and line up men who
have not joined the get-together
movement.
The meeting will be held at Eagle's
Hall, Sixth and Cumberland streets.
Thursday night, August 22. Every
railroad man in Harrjsburg and vi
cinity will get a warm welcome. The
program promises much interest. The
purpose of the meeting is to show
non-believers that the co-operative
project is here to stay and has the
backing of all railroad officials, in
cluding those at Washington.
Want Record Crowd
President Long wants a record
crowd and for this reason has as
signed the various departments to
the scout committee. Each member
will have a certain number of em
ployes to look after. A meeting of
the committee will probably be held
on Monday to ascertain as near as
possible how many will be on hand.
The local organisation has a
membership of 700. The desire is to
make it 1,000 before December 1. At
the next meeting officials from Al
toona. Philadelphia and other points
will join with those in Harrisburg
to make it an enjoyable gathering.
There will be a smoker and refresh
ments following the program.
New Bill of Lading Order

bill of lading will be executed by the
carriers unless stamped or printed'
as follows:
"United States Railroad Adminis
trator W. G. McAdoo, Director Gen
eral of Raiiroads, Philadelphia and
Reading Railway."
It will therefore be necessary that
every shipping order and bill of lad
ing have these words stamped or
printed, that is offered for ship
ment.

, Charles S. Foller was the general salesmanager of the Union

Mr. Foller realized that mcdern life, with its hustle and bustle,
quick judgment and action Tis quick, is frought with unanticipated
dangers. The automobile, trolley, steam car,,elevator —all present
obvious dangers, but the unseen, hazards are just as nu
merous and their consequences just as severe. A Utopia policy in
the General Accident netted his family $7,914 when he was

Sexton Grows His Beans
Among City's Tombstones
Denver.—Tombstones and beans! ;
Some more graves, then other |
rows of Kentucky Wonders!
j Conservation to the utmost is;
| being practiced in Germany, France j
| and England, they say, but the sex
| ton of the Golden Hill Cemetery, in
' West Colfax street, has them all
backed off the boards.
He's making use of the untenant-1
ed portions of his graveyard by the i
cultivation of garden truck—mostly |
beans. He suggests that beans,
grow better than any other vegetu-
J ble among tombstones.
"These dead folks certainly would j
rot mind," was suggested. I
"And this is such good ground for
| beans," the sexton added, "and we
! need every one we can grow."
Texan Plays Pythias
in Last Draft Call
, Cuero. Texas.—An incident has!
come to light here in connection with
the last draft call which is very
I much like the story of Damon and

j The local board had exhausted its
i list of town clerks and had taken up
j the claims of farmers to select the
i men who could best be spared from
j their work. Emil Goehring was
| among the boys chosen to go and
i Wallace McCormick was deferred
until a later call.

PRAISES WORK OF THE
ANTI-YELLOW DOG CLUB
New York Theodore Roosevelt, j
with characteristic force, has en
dorsed the nution-wlde movement |
against the "Yellow Dogs" who are !
aiding the enemy by spreading Ger- |
man-made stories and demoralizing
lying rumors.
In. a letter addressed to the na- 1
tional deputy at headquarters of the
Anti-Yellow Dog Club, in New York j
City, our ex-President amplifies the j
slogan of the Anti-Yellow Dog Clubs. I
which is "Free Speech. Yes! Free 1
Lies, No!" and lends his moral sup
port to the object of the clubs, j
which is to make every corner of
America 100 per cent. American, by i
awakening the people to the treach
ery of the Hun propagandist who is l
using the mouths of thoughtless ,
Americans to spread the gospel of |
the Kaiser. Mr. Roosevelt says:
j "Mr. Chas. J. Giegerich.
"Deputy, Antl-Yellow Dog Club, j
730 7th Ave., New York City. j
[ "Dear Sir—l wish you all good i
l luck in your efforts to start the Anti- j

the American people to put this war :
through to a finish. It is our duty!

j ieanism in this land and to tolerate

jto back up the Government in ex

I The establishment of Anti-Yellow !
] Dog Clubs throughout America, is 1
! the result of the suggestion in "The
j Yellow Dog." by Henry Irving Dodge. ;
! the well-known author of "Skinner's
I Dress Suit" and "Skinner's Big j
I Idea."
In "The Yellow Dog" Henry Irving i
[ Dodge applied his genius for writing !
i subtle comedy to the serious work of j
j the moment and in the humor of his j
i latest work of fiction, he pointed (he J
i way to completely suppress German I
I propaganda.
| *With poignant wit he christened |
the American who repeats the lies of i
the Kaiser's agents, a "Yellow Dog'
and then showed how the yellow dog
could l>e made to change color by the
application of ridicule In the hands
of the "Thoroughbred American
Pup,'' a term he affectionately ap
plied to the loyal American boy.
This idea hns solved the problem
of suppressing verbal disloyalty and
thousands of clubs have already
been formed throughout the coun
try. In many instances Anti-Yellow
Dog Clubs have been formed
the direct supervision of the heads of
great manufacturing companies
where it has had the effect of fer
reting oiit the deliberate agitators in
the ranks of the workers.
