•Resuming their drive to Hariisburg,
both young men say, they reached
Idaville when they discovered they
were short of gasoline. Returning
to Carlisle, they spent almost all the
65.80 on gasoline and came to Har
risburg. They then drove up the
river road to a point about a half
mile north of the old Country Club
lane, and alter wrapping the body in
an automobile robe, hid it in the
bushes where It was found the next
day. The revolver they threw In
the river. This was about 2 o'clock
Thursday morning.
They then drove about a mile
further north on the river road, de
cided to go to Philadelphia, and drove
byway of York to Philadelphia. At
Philadelphia they decided to seel the
car. and Collins alone took it to Gor
son's Gaßge and Salesroom In
Broad street. There he gave the
name of George J. Sherman, 22 Car
lisle street, Gettysburg, and left the
car. He was told to return the fol
lowing day, but he # confessed ihat he
lost his nerve. Both men the.i le
turned to Gettysburg, Reinecker, to

learned that the automobile hud been
left there. .White secured a descrip

thing about the murder, for Collins
told a brother-in-law of Bushman's,
that he saw Bushman starting to
Harrlsburg In his automobile the
night of the murder. Moreover, White
learned that Collins had made threats

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
HAS ItOT UllM) FAVOR WITH
HER FAMILY
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man, nineteen years
of age, with a college education and
have a good position and salary. I
met a young lady whom X love deep
ly, and I am sure my love is re
ciprocated. I had the honor of escort
ing her a few places and her parents
treated me as cordially as if I had
been one of the family. Their only
objection to me, so their daughter
informs me. is that I am not tall
enough and that 1 am rather slim and
not prepossessing in my appearance.
We both love each other very dearly
and It would be a hardship to sepa
rate us. so I appeal to you what I
should do in this matter. Thank*
ing you. S. M. H. M.
There is nothing to do but to bide
your time and "make good." Many
men who have started with physical
handicaps have won out by success
and making themselves indispensable
to the family of the beloved.

carry it through. The 112 th Infantry
comprises men from Harrisburg and
Central Pennsylvania and the oil

"We believe that such acts as have :
been committed by the Bochea in the i
past must result in their complete i
downfall, and we are putting forth
every effort to hasten the day which
will herald to the world that the
power of the most colossal monster
of dark deeds the world ever has
known and his coadjutors have been
so completely beaten that were eter-.
nlty given them they could not re
cover." the colonel wrote.
Harsh Toward Mailed Fist Only
"No, I am not too harsh, nor do
these remarks apply 'to the people,
but to the mailed tist that has gov
erned. or rather molded and con
trolled them. /For the common folk
of Germany I have no malice, and I
do not forget them in my humble
prayer. To knock this yoke from
their neoke is one of the objects of
this war.
"Many of our comrades have
given their lives, others limb and
health, and these only add to our
determination to push on the faster
and harder. Some few have sickened
at the sights of the battlefield.
Others whose constitutions were not
built on the plan Intended for sol
diers; have found their nerves shat
tered by the high explosives and
their health broken by exposure and
have dropped from the ranks of the
ll2th Infantry.
"We are confident of the outcome
and I wish to say to those whose
have lost friends and loved ones that
they have not died in vain, but have
contributed their full measure to one
of the greatest of efforts in the inter
est of humanity of the world and
the like of which the world will
never again witness.
On Eve of a World Event
"We start to-night on one of the
greatest events of the year and long
before you have received this hur
ried scrawl you will have read of it
In the dally press. The sun will rise
to-morrow on many cold forms that
to-night are full of life and anima
tion, for such is the fate of soldiers,
and I want you all to know that your
words of love and confidence have
strengthened me for the fight.''

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
! ________________________
LOVERS' QUARRELS.
Half the letters that come to me
J relate to quarrels between people
| who are in' love or who imagine
themselves to be In or who
| were once in love.
They quarrel over everything, or
nothing, as the case may be. Some
j times there are several people in
;volved in the genuine or imaginary
j trouble, and sometimes the disa
greement is a duet between "a
■lover and his lass."
And half the time I can't see
| why they arip all so wretchedly uh
; happy over some triviality that
I might be adjusted with the small
j est application of common sense.
The most fruitful source of trou
i ble in all love affairs seems to be
I the confidant, "Enter the confidant
j with trouble," the passage might
read, as if it were stage directions
instead of an extract from real life.
A line from a recent letter reads:
"My girl friend advised me not to
have anything to do with the man
to whom I was engffged; now she
is going about with him herself." I
quote from another letter: "My girl
I chum, of many years standing, re
pented some remarks that I in
tended only in fun." And still an
other: "I asked her advice and she
when straight and told him every
thing."
Now all this trouble, and much
of the same sort might have been
saved by a little discretion and —
discipline. Love is like murder, it
will out. Talking incessantly of the
adored one is characteristic symp
tom of the tender passion and one
that is provocative of endless mis
ery.
If you must talk to someone
about Him talk to your mother or
to some older person of whose af
fectionate interest you are assured.
If you would "rather die than talk
to your mother," as one poor child
wrote to me. write everything you
intend to say and burn your letter.
This will have the effect of get
ting the subject off your mind, tem
porarily, and you run no risks with
a possibly foolish confidant.
Chattering Dangerous.
Bear in mind that nothing could
be more dangerous than this habit
of loosely chattering with the girls
who work with you, or the girls
who live in the adjoining flat, or
the girls who go with you to the
movies. Under the stimulus of let
ting yourself go, you probajbly say
•far more than you intend to and
you are apt to give a wrong im
pression of the incident and, fur
thermore, you leave yourself en
tirely at another'a mercy.
"A shut mouth drops no trouble"
is an Oriental proverb that might
be acquired with profit by nearly all
young people. It is not always that
the confidant is deliberately false;
she may.be enly as indiscreet as
you are. Something you have said
! impresses her as important, or not

! very Important, or amusing, or ln
! teresting—and forgetting all her
promises not to tell the confidence
is out before she Is aware of It.
After the first telling, It gathers
momentum and goes with a speed
of a snowball rolling down hill. As
it goes, perhaps it gathers new ma
terial, and when next you meet your
tender secret it will have grown to
such proportions that you almost
fall to recognize It.
Don't repeat remarks that, in
turn, may be repeated and cause
trouble. Don't take advice from
girls no older and as equally lack
ing in worldly wisdom as you are.
If you are In love don't discuss the
object of your affection with every
one employed in the same office
building. It lacks dignity, it makes
you amusingly absurd, and it robs
your love affair of dignity.
If you have done any of these
things and they have got you into
trouble, don't hesitate to eat hum
ble pie, say you are sorry and take
the first steps to "make up."
Drifts Into Misunderstanding.
But girls after they have got into
this kind of entanglement are often
too much ashamed to ask for for
giveuess, and they begin to act
aloof and "stand offish," and the af
fair drifts into that stage of mis
understanding that is beyond the
going back part.
Young men are much less apt to
have confidants than girls. They
appear to have more natural dis
cretion and the lure of discussing
genuine love affairs with the young
men at the adjoining desks does not
present such strong temptation. (
The foe of the young lover s
peace of mind, judging from their
correspondence with me, appears to
be his riotous imagination. The
following is a characteristic extract:
"Last night I called on Sally and
she seemed far away, wrapped up
in her own thoughts. Now, if she
does not care for me more
I'd like to have her say so."
It appears from a later letter,
the young man was good enough to
write me, nothing had been the mat
ter with Sally. He was so thor
oughly in love, so filled with a sense
of his own unworthlness that he
read doubt into everything the girl
had said and done. K n„„
Jealousy is another stumbling
block to the young man in love.
Often he cannot see his inamorata
speak to another man without suf
fering all the pangs of the Inferno.
His intelligence may point out tnat
It is Impossible for any girl not to
have acquaintances, that very prob
ably the young man she has just
been speaking to is an old school
mate and is utterly absorbed in a
love affair of his own, but the mere
sight of this young man raising his
hat in passing drives the first swain
to jealous frenzies.
He gets sulky, the girl can't un
derstand why he is in this state, she
resents his manner, he resents hers
—and there is a very pretty quar
rel about nothing at all.

the families of both. Young people
very often get acquainted with one
another's families, balancing a snip
on their respective shoulders mean
time. They go looking for trouble
and Invariably find it. They fall to
realise that the prospective "In
laws" are as nervous and, likely,
upsqt over the meeting as they are.
They have failed to grasp that
faith and confidence bring faith and
confidence in return; that, in the
long run', one gets out of life about
the same proportion of good or evil
as one contributes.
In love affairs the greatest talis
man is common sense. You would
not confide your salary, rent, in

quaintances, and yet many do not
hesitate to confide things infinitely
more private to them —things that
come back to one with the force of
a boomerang.
By taking a little thought in ad

to love affairs coiffd be averted.
Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SEEKS TO PROVE HIS I.OVE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 22 and love a girl of 18. My
long working hours are keeping me
away from her; also I am not a good
love-letter writer. I badly need your
kindly advice. At our last meeting X
said to her plainly, "I love you." She
doubted me. I told her I had no ex
perience in making love but was will
ing to do anything to show her the
truth, if it was in my power. She
said, "Yes, It is In your powter, but
I am not going to tell you what you
should do. because it would be too
easy for you then." Wflat is the thing
she wants me to do for her?
UNXfAPPY LOVER.
I think you are extremely roman
tic, which is. of course, a desirable
quality in a lover. Perhaps the girl
you love sees this trait in you and is
taking advantage of it. in an innocent
way. Unless I were a clairvoyant I
couldn't possibly tell you what love
test she has in mind to Impose on you,
but I doubt if it is anything very se
vere. tfave you tried sending her
flowers or asking her to the theater?.
Persistence wins the day with many
girls, unless there Is some rival In
the way. Do I understand that when
you told her of your love you asked
her to marry you? There could
scarcely be a greater proof of love
than that.
A DANGEROUS HABIT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going about with a
young woman who is one year my
senior. I am 21. I think a lot of
this young woman, but a fault of hers
is that she cannot resist the tempta
tion to drink. I have made every ef
fort to get her to give up this habit,
as I don't think a girl who has a
weakness for drink will make a
capable wife. Will you kindly give mb
some advice as to how I could help
her?.
WORRIED.
You are quite right. She Vnust learn
to resist this temptation or she will
be unfitted for any sort of life, mar
ried or single. Get some older person
to give her a serious warning and ex
planation of what she Is doing.

"These of course, are the mini
mum quotas," said E. J. Staekpole,
chairman of the district executive
committee, this morning.
"Irt every county we expect re
turns far larger than the quotas set."
the chairman went on. "The Ameri
can army every day grows by leaps
and bounds in France, North Rus
sia and in Siberia, and every penny
that can be spared will be needed
to care for these men during the
long, hard winter about setting in.
"Jew and Christian, Catholic and
Protestant, are now combined in this
great war work campaign, and it 1
behooves every man and woman, of
whatever sect—or of no sect—to
show his appreciation of the men
who are making the supreme sacri
fice by giving to the very last
penny."
Mr. Staekpole explained that the
quotas were fixed at a conference of
representatives from every county
in the district. This conference was
held in Harrisburg on October 4.
Population and bank resources were
used as a busts for fixing the quotas,
and when fixed they were unani
mously agreed upon by every repre
sentative attending the conference.
