The meeting | was resolved into a gathering dedi cated to a better Harrisburg. Manager Horace L. Wiggins, of the Penn-Harris Hotel, started the move ment for a better Harrisburg with an invitation to Kiwanis members to make the hotel their home. "It is Harrisburg's hotel," he said. Follow ing him Gus M. Steinmetz, managing editor of tho Harrisburg Telegraph, in a short talk spoke optimistically of the bright'outlook for Harrisburg, telling the club members there are many fine things coming to this city within the next \few years. Mr. Steinmetz was th guest of Harry Lowengard, editor of the Courier. "If we have a bigger and better i Harrisburg we must have better housing conditions," was the trend of a talk by Dr. Harry B. Walter. Ho urged that a tract of land be pre pared for building and that Harris burg get ready for the big boom that is suro to come. "We've got to have places for the men and women and children to live and sleep," he stated. "We want definite action; something more than simple talk. These housing conditions at present are a drawback to better Harris burg." .T. H. Lutz, Jr., brought up the question of semaphores which had been taken up by the club several months ago. At that time a commit tee interviewed city officials twho asked that the matter be deferred for a year. Mr. Lutz mentioned the cor ner at Fourth and Chestnut streets and stated it is one of the most dan gerous spots in the town. He was backed up by William C. Alexander, salesmanager of the Moorhead Knit ting Company, who asked for im mediate action on the matter. The - committee will again make an at tempt to have the semaphores pur chased. The matter was also slated for a coming meeting of the board U. S. Soldiers Who Will Relieve Men Who Have Been in the Trenches The war is over, but America has not relaxed her vigilante. Up to the very minute that the armistice was signed more and more doughboys were sent to the other side. Thisi picture shows a contingent of Ameri can troops landing at Liverpool. They will not have to face Hun bullets and shells, but will relieve some of the men who have been at the front for more than a year. of directors when further definite ac tion will be taken. The first address of the meeting was an inspiring one by Rabbi Louis J, Haas, of Ohev Sholom Temple, in which he gave high praise to the interdenominational work being done by the co-operating religious war work organizations. He cited his own case as an instance, saying that as representative of the Jewish Wel fare Board at Gettysburg he was given every assistance and support by the workers of the Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A. and allied or ganizations. Speaking particularly of the boys from his own faith, he said "Our Boys went over the top, not as Jews but as Americans." Touching on the theme of religious unity he said: "The Jew, the Gentile, the Protest ant and the Catholic are all fighting uniteti in one grand principle. I saw Jewish Welfare posters hanging alongside Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus and other war work placards. That Is the grand symbol of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God." He laid em phasis on the fact that men of all creeds fought for the right of man. T. E. Cleckner, of the firm of Fisher & Cleckner, won the attend ance prize, two Baby Bonds con tributed by E. B. Chenoweth, man ager of the S. S. Kresge Fve-and- Ten-Cent store. Ernest B. Eppley, of D. W. Cotterell's stationery store, distributed handsome "Sunshine" calendars as the silent boost. Among the guests at the meeting were Assistant Manager Price, of the Penn-Harris; J. A. Tyson, of the firm of Rice & Tyson, insurance , agents: C. E. Chamberlain, superin tendent of the Harrlsburg Division, the Philadelphia and Reading Rail way. Mr. Lewis, of the Lewis Ad vertising Agency, was also a guest, making an interesting little talk. F. J. Wallis presided. Use McNeil's '"old Tablets. Adv. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX IS THIS PATRIOTISMf DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: My mother thinks me absolutely in corrigible. I think I hare done noth i ing but a patriotic and human duty. A friend and I. girls, were taking a walk. Two IT. S. soldiers asked us if we would allow them to walk with ; us. They were so nice we couldn't refuse. They said they knew no one here and that they were going across very soon, as we could see from their hobnails and overseas caps. We wulk ed with them for two hours, and when they left us they asked us go the fol lowing night to see a show. Now, there was nothing in the boys' actions to make us distrust them, and we are college girls, sup posed to have some sense. We con sented to go, and there my trouble be gan, so far as my mother is concerned. I wish you would convince her that there is nothing wrong in what I have done, although I admit that there would be some danger if we were not sensible girls. H. G. Doesn't it seem to an intelligent girl like you that the extreme and des perate loneliness of good-looking young soldiers is an idea that has per haps been a little over-emphasized? I am afraid it won't do to suspend all the conventional laws that have been framed for the protection of girls merely because there are young men in uniform about with extra time on • their hands. It is quite true that in such a ease as yours no harm is done, but it would have been much wiser. In case you felt yourself justified in speaking to the young men without an introduction, to ask them to come to your own house, where your mother could help you receive them, rather than to go walking with strangers. Even wise college girls cannot throw prudence to the winds. MUST HE ALWAYS BLUSH! DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a young man of 21 and always blush when in the presence of women. Will you please advise me as to what to do to overcome it? F. A. S. Perhaps you don't spend enough . time in the presence of women. If 1 you make it a point of talking to girls and women every day on really Interesting subjects your excessive self-consciousness will surely disap pear after a time, and your calls upon young women are too widely separat ed, and that you don't take conversa tion with women as a matter of course, which you must learn to do. I'm sorry for your embarrassment. SHALL SHE MARRY HIM f j Dear Miss Fairfax: For two years I have been en gaged to a young man one year younger than I, in whose home town I have been working. For my va cation I went to my own home for three months. On my return he told me he had taken another girl to a few dances and movies and begged ' forgiveness. We were to be raar i rled in the Fall, but he was called I to France, and now he wants to bo , married as soon as he comes home. CONSTANT READER. Don't exact too much from your sweetheart. I think you should not have expected him to forswear all human society for three months be cause you were out of town. But since he has been frank with you and you have forgiven him, why in the world should you refuse to marry him? Lovers must always beware of becoming suspicious. THE CABARET HABIT Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen and have been out with a young man four times. Each time he has taken me to a different cabaret. Both he and I have light drinks. He acts to me as a perfect gentleman. Now. my cousin remark- I ed that respectable persons do not|, go to cabarets often. Do you think i I ought to refuse him when he in vites "me to go once more? ANXIOUS. I think you are too young to go habitually to cabarets, especially unchaperoned. The next time the young man invites you, suggest that you would prefer to go to a quieter place, or to receive him at your home. MISTAKE EASILY CORRECTED Dear Miss Fairfax: Last week I met a young lady and was introduced to her as a tem perance man. which is not so. I take a drink now and then, but do not go to extremes. What course would you advise me to take, for I like the young lady very much? J. B. I ) —_ A STUNNING TRIO OF SHOW GIRLS WITH "THE MILLION DOLLAR DOLL" AT THE ORPHEUM 111 H : I - -J,:'-.'. ■.'■ 7\ ; iSw v E- \ ' fKf-m jfr , - One of the features of "The Million Dollar Doll," which will appear at the Orphoum, Friday and Saturd-y and Saturday matinee, will be the 11- lutninated "Runway," on which a number of the songs and dances will be given, over the heads of the audi ence. The "Runway" Is one of the latest novelties and brings the com i pany and audience In close touch Simply mention, the next time you meet the young lady, that you are not a prohibitionist, but are al ways temperate in the use of alco* hoi. Unless she takes an extreme attitude herself, . slje will no doubt' be willing to condone this in a mere acquaintance. And she will in any. case appreciate your desire not *to sail under false colors. WHAT IS HER PROBLEMt DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: A friend of the family told me that a certain young mun cares very much for me. I've been out a few times with him and enjoy his company very much. He is jolly and full of fun. I do not love this man, but as he has a very good profession I think I could be very comfortable with hint. He is an only son. Now. Miss Fairfax, what I want to ask you is this: What right has a mother, to boss her son at 23 years of age?. He has Just graduated from college and his mother thinks lie | should stay home and support them for a few more years. Since I heard this I dislike his peo ple. If I ever marry him I would have nothing to do with them, as they are foreigners, .Aren't your objections to this young man's family rather premature when you have it simply on hearsay that he '•ares for you and you admit you value him largely because of his in come? Don't, I beg of you. consider mar riage until a more sympathetic rela tionship has come about. And if you should ever love the young man I know will not then permit your self to feel vindictively toward his family or to judge his mother. LOVE OR A CAREER t DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been engaged to a young man five years my senior for the past year. Ho is in the U. S. Navy, and our plans were to get married on his return home in December. I am a violinist have played in several con certs, and am now playing in an or chestra in a theater with my sisters, also inusclans. They have all told me I am a great player, and I want to go on a concert tour. When I wrote my fiance about this plan, he said he was very sorry, for it would break into our earlier plans: that I might meet some one whom I cared much more for and that any wav he did not care to wait so long to 'be married. But if that was my choice. I could depend on him as a dear friend. But if he would let me go on my artistic career, earn lots of money and become famous, I would consent to marry him in a year or two. Or I would give up the concert tour and stick to our earlier plans. But must I, after his letter, acknowledge our en gagement broken? HEARTBROKEN. Since you care so much for this young man that you are willing to give up your musical plans entirely, why not make this known to him, as that is the only difficulty In the way of your marrige? I should think, however, that you might reconcile the two careers, as so many other women have done. Talk it over with your sailor when he comes back, and sug gest marrying him first, and keeping up your violin work afterwards. A really enlightened husband doesn't de mand of his that she smother her talents as a proof of love for him. THIS MAN WAS BORN UNDER A LUCKY STAR New York, Nov. 20. —F. E. Lewis, 2d, a New York motorist, recently made an automobile trip across the continent front New York to Los Angeles on which he established a tire record which will make all other motorists turn green with envy. He ran the entire distance of 3,175 miles from ocean to ocean without a single puncture or with out changing a tire or tube and he wired back upon his arrival that the tires looked good enough for the re turn trip. He made the distance In sixteen running days and used a Cadllac car equipped with Norwalk cord tires and Norwalk inner tubes, i To the poor unfortunate automo- | bllist who has started out Sunday : morning for a 100-mile trip and had five punctures and two blowouts it will certainly seem that this man I was born under a lucky star. This I tire record has probably never been anywhere near approached. HAS DUG 4,500 GRAVES Dcltu, Ohio. Lucius P. Smith, sexton for forty-three years for the Middletown Cemetery Association, has resigned. He estimates he has I dug 4,500 graves. with each other, breaking down that barrier, known as "behind the foot lights." This novelty has proved a veritable sensation In many of the cities, and some of the "Runway Num bers" have received as many as eight and ten encores a night. This Is only j one if the many new and novel fea tures presented In this musical com-1 ody. 1 ! lj gAMUSE]ii}MENTs|Ij c Mae Murray in "Modern Love/' at Regent Today ~ Delia Arnold in tli>' ingcii ue cif a j traveling stock company pluylng in ' the Middle West.
