ROAD LOAN IS
APPROVED BY
BIG MAJORITY
State "Pulled Out of Mud"
With 75,000 Votes to
Spare
Returns received up to noon to-day
indicate that the majority of Penn
sylvania counties yesterday in vot
ing on the proposition to bond the
state for 650,000.000 for road purposes
reversed their attitude of 1913; and
as a result the bond issue carries by
a vote approximating 75,000 to 100,-
000. The count on the amendment is
slow, of course, but William Jen
nings, treasurer of the Associated
Highways Organisation of Pennsyl
vania, at noon declared that Pennsyl
vania "has indeed voted to pull it
self out of the mud." e
The campaign to secure favorable
action on the bond issue proposition
was waged by the Associated High
ways Organization of Pennsylvania,
an association formed in this city
early last spring. The officials named
at the organization meeting were as
follows: John S. Fisher, Indiana,
president; Dr. P. T. Johnson, Erie,
vice-president; William Jennings,
Harrisburg. treasurer, and M. H.
James. Harrisburg, secretary. John
tj. Fisher is a former state senator
and was intimately associated with
the 1913 bond issue campaign. Dr.
Johnson is a prominent official of the
Perry Highway Association. Mr.
Jennings is president and Mr. James
secretary of the William Penn High
way Association.
Splendid Campaign
For the last two months the As
sociated Highways Organisation has
carried on a quiet- campaign for the
bond issue. Associated in the work
were the majority of good roads or
ganizations of the state. The asso
ciation enlisted the efforts of 14,000
individual Pennsylvanlans who
agreed to "take ofT their coats" in
the effort to get better roads for
Pennsylvania. These 14.000 workers,
enlisted by the associated highways,
were scattered in every county of the
state. In addition the individual
memberships of the numerous road
boosting associations were put to
work; and these gave an additional
15,000 hustling advocates of better
highways. Mr. Jennings and Mr.
James directed the campaign from
this city. Hundreds of thousands of
pamphlets and placards were dis
tributed from Harrisburg during the
two weeks preceding the election.
The publicity campaign, in direct
charge of Mr. James, reached every
section of the state, through the
hearty co-operation of the news
papers. In all Pennsylvania only
four newspapers criticised the bond
issue proposition—and two of these
papers were Harrisburg publications.
Motor clubs joined in the effort to
get better highways for Pennsylvania.
These clubs, the road organizations,
Chambers of Commerce, Boards of
Trade, department stores and motor
truck manufacturers paid for adver
tising space in the newspapers.
"Boiler plate" was used by hundreds
of weekly newspapers.
"It is certainly refreshing to know
that the people of Pennsylvania have
not only elected Senator Sproul Gov
ernor, but that they have testified
their confidence in him by voting at
the same time to entrust him with
the consruction of what is to be
America's greatest highway system,"
said William Jennings to-day. "That
the money will be well spent we are
all well satisfied. When the war is
over Pennsylvania will be in a posi
tion to put itself on a 365-day road
system—and use i( while it is being
paid for."
NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in just a few
moments.
''Danderine" makes your hair
thick, glossy, wavy and
* beautiful.
Within ten minutes after an ap
plication of Dandenne you cannot
fiind a single trace of dandruff or
falling hair and your scalp will not
itch, but what will please you most
will be after a few weeks' use, when
you see new hair, fine and downy at
first —yes—but really new hair —
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. It goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ens them. Its exhilarating, stimu
lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
end beautiful.
A little Danderine immediate'y
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is
amazing —your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap
pearance of abundance; an incom
parable luster, softness and luxuri
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that yeur hair is as pretty and
■oft as any—that it has been neg
lected or Injured by careless treat
ment—that's all —you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
jou will just try a little Danderine.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
NEWS OF STEELTON
CORP. SCHMIDT
IS WOUNDED'
Tfiok Part in. Big Attack of
September 26, and Was
Shot in the Leg
Joseph Schmidt, of Enhaut, this
morning received a letter from his
son leo, who is a corporal with the
316 th Infantry in France, telling him
of the big attack of the latter part
of September in which he took part
and was wounded. The letter fol
lows:
"X wrote you a short letter the
other day, but had very little to say
in it. I have more news for you this
time. It is not very much, but I
want you to know so that In- case
you see my name in the paper as be
ing wounded you will not worry. It
is nothing really serious, and as soon
as I get out of this hospital I will be
back in the ditch. I have been shot
in the righ leg just below the knee,
j It struck a bone, but I do not think
1 it did much damage, and I will prob
| ably be out again in a few weeks.
Now, do not think the Huns got
j the best of me, for we boys surely
did give them plenty. We had a hard
| time keeping after* them: they were
j moving homeward so rapidly, and the
; Yanks were right on their heels. 1
: will have some great stories to tell
I you when I get home.
I was in the thick of the attack
! for three days before they got me,
and I sure did my share before they
did. You have probably read of the
! big attack started on September 26.
I was wounded in that attack on the
28th, late In the afternoon, right in
front of the Huns' flrft line. It took
until Monday before I got to the hos-
I pital and was operated upon. (The
Red Cross is certainly doing fine).
That was some attack. We captured
a lot of Huns, but killed a whole lot
more. Of course, they got a few of
us, but very few in comparison to
what we did to them.
The Huns have fine dugouts, all |
fixed up as though they* had expect- J
ed to stay for some time. Plenty of i
beer In them, more titan we gave i
them time to drink. The yalso had ;
a fairly good supply of bread, which
ate."
Emergency Hospital's
Last Patient Dies
Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock.
Kick Manjaric, of 256 Main street,
was considered well enough to be
discharged front the emergency hos
pital, provided he received attention
at his home. He was discharged and
died three hours later, due no doubt
to his failure to take the precau
tions prescribed. He was the last pa
tient at the emergency hospital.
The canvas and equipment of the
emergency hospital have all been
thoroughly fumigated ang is being
prepared for shipment to any point
in the state that it may be required.
All the nurses and aids have left the
field, many of them having gone to
emergency hospitals in other towns.
Only enough mailitia men remain to
help in the packing of the equip
! inept, all of which will betaken away
| by to-morrow.

arrival. The parents immediately
started an investigation, but could
secure no official report until yes-'
terday.
Zeigler, according to the official
announcement, died aboard an Eng
lish transport on October 8, while
en route to France with his regi
ment. He was buried at sea. Details

MORE CLOTHING
BADLY NEEDED
Home Nurse Reports Many
Cases of Dire Distress in
Need of Assistance
Although the Associtaed Charities
of Steclton has made numerous calls
for clothing fpr infants and children
up to 12 years of age, not half enough
has bfen received to clothe the many
childres.that have been left orphans
as a result of the epidemic.
Associated Charity workers report
many cases of dive distress which
should be attended to immediately. In
mcny homes conditions have been dis
covered much too bad for publication,
and these must receive attention im
mediately. Miss Winship. the district
home nurse,-is doing all in her power
to alleviate the distress, but the cases
are too numerous for her, and the de
mands have been so much greater
than the receipts of money and cloth
ing that but a small proportion of the
needy cases have really been attended
to. There is sore need of children's
undrwear and clothing of all kinds
for infants. Such articles, or money
with which to purchase them, wgl be
received for the purpose by Mrs. C. A.
Alden at 401 Pino street, and at Mc-
Curdyu's drugstore in the Bank build

Advice to the Lovelorn
A TIMll) I.OVER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have known a girl for the past
I four years, but not until recently have
j 1 grown to love her. She has shown
me in minor ways that she cares for
me. but how much is uncertain. .
Before I began to show my affec
| tion for her she was intimate with
j another young man, a friend of mine.
! She had a dispute with him and told
jme he was completely out of her
mind. Recently this man has started
to pay her attention again, and she is
accepting his invitations while en
deavoring to make me believe that he
| hasv not the slightest chance of be
j coming the friend he was.
' As I love this girl very much and
do not wish to lose her, I would ap- |
predate your advice.
PERPLEXED.
The only direct method of ending
such anxieties as your is to tell the
girl you love her and ask her to be
come engaged to you. But I know no
other way of overcoming your dread
of your rival and your fear that the
young woman you so much admire
is playing with you.
IS LOVE A DISEASED
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About a year ago I met a young
man two years my senior. A month
ago he introduced me to a friend I
with whom I fell In love. They are
both 20. The lirst friend adked me to
marry him, but I did not give him any
answer. The second asked me, and I
grasped the opportunity and said
•yes." They both want me to marry
them before you go away.
MARION.
If you are so deeply in love, and
are beloved in turn, and have promis
ed to marry your suitor—just what
do you wish to be advised about? I
am afraid you haven't been outspoken
enough with the first young man. and
that you now have a somewhat guilty
! feeling in regard to him. You should
I lose no time In explaining the whole
situation thoroughly to him and ac
cepting whatever blame you may
feel you deserve. The second young
| man has, however, every reason to re
: gard you as bound by your enthusias
tic promise to him, unless your pa
; rents disapprove of your marriage or
; engagement.
ASHAMED OF HER FIANCE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am vecy much in love with a
young man. but am ashamed to go
anywhere with him. as he is very ig
• norant of etiquette. , Every time we
go on the street he walks on the in
side. He does many similar things.
He'seldom treats me and When he
does he busy cheap candy. Yet he
has good habits and does not smoke,
chew or drink.
I hate to give him up, but all the
girls make fun of me for going about
with him.
CONTANT READER.
If you are truly in love, the small
things you mention ought not to
trouble you. Don't you think it's ex
tremely frivolous to think of "giving
up" a young man because he isn't fa
miliar with all social observances and
does not buy expensive candy? Try
looking at his side of the question.

Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That Is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician
for 17 years and calomels old-time

j Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab-
I lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
