ELSIE MCDONALD. Boston, Mass. 1 -Can't They See She Needs Rest? 'lff V -U- 1 Vi / v A p\ O jp, \ A\ lg% ■ V •;' W E - h m i/f >T WASHINGTON SURE HARRISBURG WILL 'GO OVERTHE TOP'; This City Example For Others in Purchase of Liberty Bonds, Dr. Rowo Says "Harrisburg stands at Washing tion as an example for communi ties elsewhere throughout the Unit ed States in the matter of Liberty Bond subscriptions," said Dr. L. S. Howe, assistant secretary of the United States Treasury, speaking before the noon luncheon of the Har risburg Chamber of Commerce to day. "And Washington has no doubt," he continued, "that Harris burg will in the Fourth Liberty Loan take one step in advance' of the place it established when it over subscribed the third loan." . Dr. Rowe was introduced to the ] Chamber by President Andrew S. | Patterson, as Secretary AlcAdoo's j chief assistant at Washington. He j is an authority on finance and has j spoken in may parts of the coun- ] try on behalf of the loan. "When I j was speaking in the South last spring," he said, "where only one or | two per cent, of the people had sub- : scribed, I wished I had with me the j statistics of Harrisburg and other ' communnties in which the indivld- j ual subscribers averaged fifty or j sixty per cent, of the whole popu- i lation." Should lie Widespread "One of the best things you have i done here." Dr. Rowe continued, "is ; to see to it that a large number of i people buy bonds." It is not good for any community, he added, to ! have ail the bonds bought up by a j few men. Germany begins to-day its ninth j Liberty Loan, Dr. Rowe continued,! and it will be interesting and im- ; portant to observe the manner in which ouf own Liberty Loan goes as compared with the German loan. The present loan, he said, will regis ter the opinion of the American people as to whether they are really in earnest about the prosecution of the war to a successful conclusion. Its success will be noted In Berlin, the speaker continued, where affairs in America are being watched even more closely than developments along the battle lilies of France, be cause Germany realises that Amer ica is the vital factor in this war ar*l that upon our determination to go on to a victorious conclusion, as registered in our subscriptions to this loan, 'hangs the fate of the con flict and the hope or despair of the German military clique to bring about la German peace. Taxes Up to the Limit Dr. Rowe said that the taxes im posed by i.hc eight-billion bill now in Congress have been placed as high as they can be with safety and that the financing of the war, without grave danger of financial and indus trial depression following it, hangs upon our ability to meet other war expenses through the medium of loans. Failure would discourage out soldiers and cur allies and would wonderfully hearten the Kaiser. The government wants the loun dis tributed as widely as 'possible, he said, and payments for bonds to be made out of the savings of the peo ple. "Save the price of your bonds out of your earnings," he advised. "You help the government most when you economize to invest in its securities." He also warned the public against trading bonds for worthless or doubtful shares in companies and urged everybody lo hold liis securi ties at least until the war is over. Cnptain Bent Speaks Captain W. G. Bent, of the Royal British Field Artillery, who though ten years beyond age, enlisted as a private the day the war broke out and huß been in it ever since, going to France with the "First Hundred Thousand," was .the second speaker. He warned the audience again3t un fale optimism. Germany is still strong, he said, and hopes to make peace before she is utterly cruah ■ v.. •' tIAHIMSBURG TELEGRAPH cel. "Pon'l underestimate the en emy," he continued. "We have a I big job ahead of us and it i notj nearly over. "They say a snake does! not die until the sun Roes down, and j T think it is only about halfpast fourj for the Kaiser." P. D. Wagoner, the new president! of the Elliott-Fisher Company, was; present at a Chamber of Commerce j luncheon for the first time and was] introduced hy Mr. Patterson, re sponding with a brief appeal for the success of the loan. Bretz Asks For New Trial on Ground That Act of 1878 Is Unconstitutional Attacking the constitutionality of' the Act of June i 2, 1878, under] which Harry M. Bretz, lawyer, was| convicted on charges of embezzle-1 merit as attorney, O. G. Wicker- 1 sham, as his counsel, to-day filed] motions for new trials in the four! cases in which the jury returned I verdicts of guilty. Mr. Wickersham, In giving his 1 reqson for asking a retrial states that under the Act of 1878 the term] "attorney" is used in referring to HI lawyer acting as agent Tor a Dank I or other corporation and not in -pri- ] vate legal business. He declares that! for tliis reason it does not apply to! the indictments under which Bretz! was tried and that they should have! been (plashed. The court refused to | quash the indictments when Bretz j was called for trial and refused a 1 separate trial in each case. These, points are raised also as reasons for | a new trial. The motion for a new trial may j he listed for the session of argument; court to he held next Tuesday.

'OH, BOY' POPULAR MUSICAL COMEDY Rig Success Enjoyed by Or pheum Audiences; Sec ond Visit Here Complications, vgri-natured and ex tending over the greater period of the two acts of "Oh, Boy," highly satis | tied a ntirthfpl audience at the Or j pheum last evening. A full house of I Harrisburgers went home so highly pleased with the second production I of this lively comedy in this city, that a successful visit might again be made here with the production, j Opening up a triile slowly, the first I few numbers on the program (fragged [ slightly and received scant commen | dation trom the critical audience. I But, by the time the fourth musical selection had been reached the action was becoming more lively and win ning over the audience and from that I until the end, each part was greeted I with hearty anplause. ' Miss Marie Carroll, playing as 'Lou Ellen Carter," gained intimate access , to the hearts of her hearers, quite na -1 turally and deservedly so, and carried i away the greatest applause for her- 1 | self, receiving many encores in her ; musical renditions. Especially did the I hearers like her presentation of "An I Old-fashioned Wife," and "Words Are j Not Needed." But Miss Anna Wheaton. as "Jackie I Sampson," an actress, gained almost j as much applause as the leading wo man. A difficult part to plav. Miss Wheaton presented it with all its per ; fections. Her wild antics and esca ; pades did very, very much to keep the j audience smiling. Charles Compton, as "George Budd " , the newly wed, finding himself by I many complications continually in "hot water," spends much time in making explanations and his difficul ties bring quantities of sideache-pro ducing laughter. "Jim Marvin," his weU-meaning friend, played by Hfir °ld Crane, awakened much interest. Harry Quealy, as "Briggs," the valet; Stephen Maley, as "Constable Slmms; "Jack" Raffael. as "Judge Daniel Carter;' Augusta Haviland. as Mrs. Carter;" Edna May Oliver, as Miss Penelope Budd," and "Jack" Merritt, as a waiter, all play import ant parts in adding real merit to the presentation. Girls, oretty ones, to the number of fourteen, in ultra fashionable and rich array, make up a chorus whose pleas ing selections rank well with those heard in Harrjsburg this season. Catchy musical selections added ma terially to the effect. Among the best received of these might be mentioned: Un n .Hte* J 0 ! 1 '" " Till the Clouds Roll By, •,tolled Into One," "Nesting Time" and "Flubby Dubby, the Cave- I Man. I A specialty dance in the second act by Miss Ethel Forde and Ralph I O'Brien, received much 'well-earned ,| applause, which drew the artists back | for several encores. PRISONERS PUT TO WORK ON ROADS i [Continued front First Page.] | county prison warden, William A. j Mcllhenny, to furnish men in Jail on j sentence, as laborers for road work. . Mr. Mcllhenny consented and at once | took the proposition before the board I prison inspectors who also approved ' as they have for months been urging j employment for the men in Jail. A ' few days ago the prison officials | were notified to have a gang of men j ready to work at Speeseville. t Clothed For Work Clothing for the outf-door work in cluding heavy shoes was furnished to each of the men sent out. Each day they will be taken by truck lenv j ing about 7 o'clock in the morning I and returning nt 5.30 o'clock in the | afternoon. Together with the six I men now employed at the county j almshouse there are 25 prisoners at work for the county and state. Under the act which was sighed I July 11 of last year the State High way Department may call for county | prisoners /or such purposes and may pay the men put to work ' not. less j than $.40 nor more than $.60 a day. [Prison Inspectors here' favor the plan I but are also making evfery effort to I have a law passed at the coming I Legislature which will permit the I county t use prisoners for repair . Ing and building highways. MAJOR GRAY WILL BE INVITED HERE FOR RIVER SPEECH Public Meeting to Be Held in November by Rotary Club to Consider Navigation .'lajor William 15. Gray, who re cently voiced the opinion that the deepening and damming of the Sus quehanna to make it a navigable stream could be accomplished at comparatively small coat, will be in vited by the Harrlsburg notary Club to address a public meeting on a date to suit him in November at which the project will be discussed at length. This decision was reached at a meeting of the club last evening in the otilces of John lleathcole. man ager for the Metropolitan Life In surance Company, in the Telegraph building. Mr. Henthcote and David Shotwell, just returned from Y. M. C. A. war work in Mesopotamia, were the speakers. Mr. Heathcote said that his company had .asked him and his agents in this city to sell $200,000 worth of War Saving Stamps this year, and that he was pleased to announce that he had already passed that figure by $7,000 and that the company had asked him to make the total sales for the year $400,000. "If you find it im possible to do this and keen up your growth in business," the order read, "it must be the business rather than the sale of the stamps that suffers. "Hut Mr. Heathcote and his men have been able to show good busi ness results in addition to their Thrift Stamp sales." Work in Mesopotamia Mr. Sliotwell told of the difficul ties of army life in Mesopotamia, where the soldiers have to remain under canvass during the heated hours of the summer days in order to escape sunstroke, and of the vast service the Y.

Evans was tried twice before Judge A. W. Johnson, specially pre siding, and was convicted of first de gree murder at both trials. At the first trial it was claimed the court erred in the charge to the Jury. Judge Johnson at that time granted a motion for a new trial and heard the case a second time during the criminal court session last week. Evan's attorneys claim that when they closed the defense Mr. Wicker sham remarked: "I am surprised! Your Honor will excuse me for a moment." He struck a table or a chair with his hand, arose and strode out of the courtroom to an other room used by attorneys. Evans' counsel state the jury may have been prejudiced by that re mark which to them sccpied to in dicate Mr. Wickersham was surpris ed Evans was not sent to the stand. In giving other reasons Mr. Ear nest ancl Mr. McCarrell allege the court erred in # a • discussion of whether testimony was to tie ad mitted when it said: "The court would get into an error and we would have to try the case over again," a remark which ma." have influenced the Jury to believe a conviction would lie returned in the verdict. T-he attorneys also declare there watPtto comnlcte ob'lteratPn of the verdict at the first trial with the ex cept in of a pie c of - mp< r pasted over the return of the jury and nothing to show that this was a sec ond trial. The motion may be argued >t next week' 3 session o? argument i jourt. OCTOBER 2, 1918. CITY'S WOMEN ARE SUPPORTING BOYS IN FRANCE Red Cross Turns Out an In creased Amount of Material For Fighting Army if WANTED—WORKERS! i To complete immense quotas j facing tile Ha rrishurg chapter of the American Hot Cross scores I of volunteer workers are needed I to contribute their services on | working days through the entire ! winter. Mothers, sisters and j sweethearts of boys who arc giv j ing their lives for democracy, ! have contributed their services. Workers may register in the ! basement of the Public Library, j Are you doing your share? While Harrlsburg's brave soldier lads are rushing the Hinden'iurg line, their wives and mothers and sweethearts back here In Harrisburg are doing lied Cross work as their way of lighting the Hun. This is the evidence presented in the monthly reports of the Shipping Department and the Women's Bureau of the Har risburg Chapter, American Red Cross, made public this morning over the signatures of Miss- Anne McCorntick, director, and Mrs. G. H. Orth, executive secretary. Accord ing to the reports, Lady Harris pro duced 30,692 articles during the past month. It is a record-breaking pro duction which Rod Cross oitlclals view with pride. Forty-eight cases containing 33,119 articles were sent on their way to the trenches during September. Included in this grand total of materials shipped are everything from abdominal bands, cotton pads, front-line parcels, gauze compresses, to convalescent robes, operating gowns, hospital hedshirts, pajamas, underdrawors, comfort bags, hand kerchiefs, hot water bag qpvers, pneumonia jackets and weight bags. Other articles sent include helmets, ear tabs, socks and wristlets. The summary of departmental contribu tions includes the following totals: Surgical dressings, 28,737; hos pital supplies, 1,311; soldiers' ar ticles, 1,604. In the report of the Women's Bureau, which has charge of all pro duction, there is shown a production of 610 sweaters, 1,539 socks, 33 hel mets, 267 wristlets, 34 scarfs, 7 robes and a wash rag as the product of the knitting department. A total of 7,- 343 front-line parcels, 6,558 com preses, 3.245 pads, 428 rolls, 14 wipes, 243 pneumonia jackets, 921 bags and 691 bandages is reported by the surgical dressings depart ment. Li: .ed as miscellanous are 461 .cdmfort kits and 269 house wives. Hospital garments and supplies in clude 44 convalescent robes, 143 hos pital bedshlrts, 31 lied jackets, 308 French pajamas, 4 9fi American pa jamas, 350 undershirts, 33G under drawers, 50 scultetus 2,- 061 straps and buckles, 3,650 shot bags, 188 heel rings. For the French and Belgian refugees, 8 layettes, 272 petticoats and 11 pairs of bed socks were made. Behind this work are the busy women working with the grim reso lution that the Kaiser must be downed and downed quickly. As an illustration ol this officials cite just one instance. At the beginning of July they were ordered to furnish 3,000 pairs of socks in three months. Jt w is looked upon by Harrisburg as an impossibility, but in the three months just ended, 4,000 pairs went on their way to the laddies in khaki. Among the many large allotments now confronting the workers are two which must be produced very quick ly. Under the chairmanship of Mrs. Walter A. Dearth, workers are busy on 1,500 comfort bags, while in the local workrooms a huge order of cotton bags is keeping the sewers busy. There is but one thnig lack ing in Red Cross work, it was ex plained by an official. That essen tial is more volunteers. "We need them every hour of the day! If they could realize the helpful influence of the Red Cross they would surely help us in every way," said the worker.

Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good, finally 1 got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me.

Pullen, Carpenter, 265E Marcelius Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured—you I may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and aanger of an operation.
