Red Cross Memberships in Pack of Santa Claus Suggested as Boosters Many expedients have been put Into use to boost the Red Cross membership as much as possible during: the campaign which will be held December 16 to 23. Among other means of swelling the lists Red Cross memberships as Christ mas gifts have been suggested. But it has remained for the Colonial Country Club to inaugurate a very unique way of benefitting the or ganization and securing new mem bers. Next Tuesday night, the monthly card night of the Colonial Club, the usual prizes for women and men will consist of memberships to the American Red Cross Society. Six prizes will be given three for women and three for men, which will in reality bo six Red Cross buttons en titling the winners to membership in the society. The committee on entertainment for the card night are M. W. Allen, chairman; G. L. Cul merry and L. Frank Bass. MOORHKAD MAN SPOKE Among the speakers at the con vention of the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manu facturers at the Marlborough Blen heim, Atlantic City, last week was YVilllam C. Alexander, salesmunager of the Moorliead Knitting Company of Harrisburg. Mr. Alexander has just returned from the session. I The Easiest Way To End Dandruff There Is one sure way that never fails to remove dundruff completely and that Is to dissolve it. This de stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces, of plain, ordi nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it la gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better You can get liquid arvon at any drugstore. It is Inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.

THE RED CROSS By James Henry Darlington, . Bisltop Episcopal Diocese of Harrisburg t No words of mine are needed j to impress upon the people of , Pennsylvania and Delaware the necessity for the continuation of ! their hitherto generous support r of the Red Cross. With the in j | fluence still prevailing in France , ; and England, and in many camps I in this country—with the danger j from pneumonia and many other ; ; illnesses from exposure to win ter's cold and damp, our soldiers, sailors and aviators will need con stant and skilled care if they are to return to us in good health by . spring and summer. [ Many of our wounded are still i to be nursed back to vigorous health; and the adjustment to new conditions, to various climes and the perils® incident to travel by land and sea will require great care and attention; while those of our men who are in northern Russia arc subjected to the cold of the Arctic circle, and tho war fare not yet ended brings con tinual risks and dangers which will not cease for some time to come. With two brothers and three sons in tho service abroad I know what this means. 1 trust that in the Christmas ! rollcall Pennsylvania will make I its membership unanimous. No Letup in Number of Articles Made For Yanks by City's Loyal Women That the watchword of the Red Cross is "carry on," even though the armistice has been signed, is evi denced by the shipping report for the month of November from the Harris burg Chapter, giving a total of ninety four cases shipped, containing 45.761 articles. Included in the work sent out are: Absorbent pads, front line parcels, gauze compresses, gauze rolls, gauze wipes, bandages. webbing splint straps, bed jackets, convalescent robes, hospital bed shirts, pajamas, operating gowns, undershirts and un derdrawers, afghans, bandaged foot socks, bed socks, shot bags, petticoats, mufflers, socks, sweaters. A summary of the entire report gives the following tlgures: Surgical dressing 'SSi Hospital garments 770 Hospital supplies Refugee garments M" Articles for soldiers 1.-bu Total <8.761 STEEL MEN FAVOR REDUCING PRICES OPENINGOF YEAR j Chairman Gary Opposes Re duction of Scale of Wages Yet New York, Dec. 10.—A moderate reduction in the scale of maximum prices for steel, beginning on January 1. is favored by the general commit tee on steel and steel products of the American Iron and Steel Institute, which meets with the War Industries Board on Wednesday. This was announced by Elbert 11. Gary, chairman of the committee, at a meeting here of steel manufacturers yesterday, with tho recommendation that the question be referred to the committee with power, which was done. \ No It eduction of Wage Scale* Mr. Gary opposed any effort to re duce wage Scales at present declar ing that while labor is receiving high er compensation than ever before, the rates are no higher than are "proper and just" in view of the cost of liv ing. Perhaps the most satisfactory way of reducing "the present basis of general prices that are abnormal," Mr. Gary'said, would be the making of simultaneous reductions "in every direction," but this, he declared, would be impractical. He urged, therefore, that the steel industry as the "barometer of tra'de," begin reductions in prices, even at the cost of sacrifice. Such a course, he declared, would result in price reductions by persons buying steel, and "so on down the line," until a staple business basis was reached. Fair Treatment Reciprocal "If the workmen are treated fairly and liberally," he said, "they will stand and contend for fair treatment of the employer. "You have a chance to do some thing valuable toward sustaining the business equilibrium of the country. While some might suffer losses at present, perhaps it would prevent greater losses in the future. We would be leaders In a movement cal culated methodically to readjust con ditions in an orderly way. We might have some influence > on steadying business generally, and, remember, the workmen are more interested in this question than any others, for labor constitutes the greater part of the cost of production, from the raw material down to the finished product and its use by the consumer. "Our employes must continue to be treated liberally with respect to their compensation and general welfare. We will continue to show them that it is our intention to consider its merits, and to treat them as asso ciates and valuable assistants in our work. "There is no ground for believing, as sometimes.hinted, that the workers of this country are desirous of con trolling the methods of production or distribution. They know they could not be successful in the experiment." Mr. Gary predicted that, if business Is fair to its employes, its customers and its competitors, the next five years "will be the most progressive, prosperous and successful in our his tory." Dick 0. Allday, Charged With Disloyalty, May Not Be Brought to Trial It is probable the case of Dick O. Allday, of Chambersburg, charged with having made seditious remarks, will be dropped by the Department of Justice. Federal officials have stated that, since the war is over, the government is dropping many cases of this nature. Allday is a real estate operator living in Chambers burg. He was a recent cardidate for Congress in the .Seventeenth district and his arrest caused considerable excitement in Chambersburg. In Federal court yesterday Franz Schwartz, Lebanon, was given a sen tence of thirty months in the Eastern penitentiary at Baltimore on the charge of making threafc against the President. Schwartz, it was tes tified, was born in Germany. Despite th fact that he has lived in this country for twenty-six years he has never been naturalized. The civil case of Victor E. Le- Barre, Perth Amboy, N. J., against the Philadelphia and Reading Rail way Company, is occupying the pres ent attention of the court. The case, an action in trespass opened yester day afternoon. The plaintifT alleges that although a passing train did not lilt his automobile, it serifped the sides, thus demolishing the car and killing his wife. The case is bristling with technicalities and it is possible that it will last for some time. Millersburg Attorney in Miami After Automobile Trip of 1,609 Miles TI. L. Lark, an attorney residing at Millersburg, arrived in Miami, Fla., November 30, after an auto trip of 1,609 miles. He will remain there un til next May. In an interesting letter written to Deputy Prothonotary Henry F. Holler he said that about 900 miles of the trip were over the worst roads he ever traveled, mostly in South Carolina and Georgia. One day. in driving twelve hours, he only covered lot miles, from Doric, Ga., to Jackson ville, Fla. He said that the reason for the poor roads in the two Southern I states is the shortage of convict labor in recent months, due to the prohibi tion legislation now in effect, and the big decrease in crime. The best roads, Mr. Lark said, are from Oxford, Pa., along the Eastern Maryland coast to Cape Charles, Va. American Forces Are in Mayen, on Way to Coblenz By Associated Press London, Dec. 10. American forces entered Mayen, near Coblenz, on Friday. This was reported by the Wolff Bureau of Berlin as an entry, into Mayence. The Wolff Bureau re ports that newspaper representatives at Treves called at American head quarters there on December 4 at the request of the American comman-1 der. They were lojd that the Amerl- j cans wished tqr avoid Interference with the liberty of the press and public generally and assured that there was a desire that matters should remain normal In the city, Lnlbneli, Austria, Dec. 10.—Tho first dlreot train from Geneva to Liubllana, capital of Slavonic, will leave Thursday, The train will be under the control and auspices of Americans, FOUND DEAD AFTER FIRE Mount Roily, N. J., Dec. 10.—Per sons who broke Into John Roach's home at Evesboro, found him dead, seated on his bed, with the soles of his shoes charred by a fire that had evidently started from an overturned lamp and burned around the floor just where some oil had run out. our Christ- S Bring your MM mas Savings Club 1 M 3T ll 11 ma Savings Club Egfl Checks here to ■ wk Checks here to KbM be cashed Sh oA AhIII cashed m Wednesday's Christmas Economy Carnival Specials H kia Important Events in each department.
