Beautiful Ethel Clayton, in her lat
est picture being shown at the Re
gent to-day, has aroused no
At he small amount of discussion.
Regent The play is a picture of the
famous stage play, "Leah
Klcschna." There are emotional mo
meats and yet the picture has a de
cidedly upliglitlng tendency and is
anything but morbid. In her screen
career Miss Clayton has done much I
1 important work, but this production,
represents her best. The role is fitted
to her splendid talents. Supporting
her are Theodore Roberts and Elliott
Dexter.
On the Monday program of this
popular playhouse is the splendid pa
triotic picture, "Her Country First,"
starring Vivian Martin, and a laugh
able comedy, "The Romance of Brass
Tacks." Mary Pickford appears
Christmas Day and until next Satur
day evening In "Johanna Enlists." an
exquisite little romance of wartime.
Unquestionably one of the master
writers of thrilling detective and
mystery stories of to-day is
At the Arthur B. Reeve, the crea-
Vlctorln tor of the famous Craig
Kennedy stories. And one
of the most mysterious and powerful
men on the stage to-day is Houdini,
the man whose marvelous powers baf
fle all attempts to imprison him.
Houdini is well known to Harris
burgers. He has appeared here and
attracted huge throngs, and his work
in thi3 gripping motion picture, writ
ten by Arthur B. Reeve, is as mys
terious and weird as his past stage
performances.
Houdini has escaped from paper
bags, zinc-lined boxes, packing cases,
straightjackets, insane cribs. Iron
cages, willow hampers, U. S. mail
pouch, big football, a Siberian prison
van, and all the leading Jails through
out the country.
He has been thrown overboard,
manacled and handcuffed, and has re
leased himself beneath the Icy depths.
He has escaped from prisons in al
most every city In America, and in
! Europe he is looked upon as a weird
individual with the power of dema
terilization.
Harrisburgers will have an oppor
i tunity to see this "Master Mystery,"
j which will run at the Victoria Theater
!in the very near future. Watch for
J announcement of the opening date.

Tip Manufactures a Pumpkinhead
(Copyrighted by L. Frank Baum for the George Matthew Adams Service)
IN THE country of the Glliik<;n9, ■
which is at the north of the
Land of Oz, lived a youth called
Tip. There was more to his
name than that, for old Mombl
often declared that his whole name
was Tlppetarius; but no one was
expected to say such a long word
when "Tip" would do just as well.
This boy remembered nothing of
his parents, for he had been brought
when quite young to be reared by
the old woman known as Mombl,
whose reputation, I am sorry tp say,
was none of the best. For the <3llll
- people had reason to suspoot her
of indulging in magical arts, and
therefore hesitated to associate with
her.
Mombi was not exactly a Witch,
because the Good Wilob who ruled
that part of the Land of Oz had for
bidden any other Wlccn to exist in
her dominions. So Tip's guardian,
however much she might aspire to
working magic, realized it was un
lawful to be more than a Sorceress,
or at most a Wizardeua.
Tip was made to car y wood from
the forest, that the old woman might
boil her pot. He also workel in 'he
cornfields, hoeing and husking; and
be- fed the Pigs and milked tio foui
horned cow that was Mombi's espe
cial prido.
But you must not suppose he
worked all the time, for he felt that
would be bad for him. When sent
to the forest, Tip often climbed tees
for birds' eggs or amused liiirself
chasing the fleet white rabbits or
fishing in the brooks with bent pins.
Then he would hastily gather his
armful of wood and carry It home.
And when he was supposed to he
working in the cornfields, and the
tall stalks hid him from Mombi's
view Tip would often dig in the
gopher holes, or—if the mood seized
h ! ni—lie upon his back between Cue
hows of corn and take a nap. So, by
taking care not to exhaust his
strength, he grew as strong and
rugged as a boy may be.
Mombi's curious magic often
frightened her neighbors, and they
treated her shyly, yet respectfullly,
because of her weird powers. But
Tip frankly hated her, and took no
pains to bide his feelings. Indeed,
he sometimes showed less respect
for the old woman than he should
have done, considering she was his
guardian.
There were pumpkins In Mombi's
cornfields, lying golden red among
the row® of green stalks; and tcese
had been planted and carefully
tended that the (our-horned cow
might eat of them In the winter
time. But one day, after the corn
had all been cut. and stacked, and
Tip was carrying the pumpkins to
th" stable, he took a notion to make
a "Jack Lantern" and try to give the
old woman a fright with it.
So he selected a fine, big pump
kin—one with a lustrous, orange-red
co!or —and began carving it. Wth
the point of his knife he made two
round eyes, a three-cornered nose,
and a mouth shaped like a new

Whether or not Ty Cobb quits
baseball, one thing is certain, the
profession owes him all praise and
gratitude. "Outside of Detroit," re
marked a famous pitcher the other
day, "there won't be a whole lot of
grief among the big leaguers. But
regardless of whether they like Cobb
or don't like him. there isn't a man
in the American league to-day that
doesn't owe something to Ty Cobb.
"Cobb's advent into baseball mark
ed a new era in the game. Cobb's
baseball was new baseball. He was
continually pulling something to
make his opponents look like dubs
and a greater part of the time he
was getting away with it.
"The result was that players who
were continually playing against
Cobb were continually trying harder,
playing better baseball to stop Cobb.
It made better ball players of them.
An lnflelder, pitcher or catcher who
caught Cobb napping off a base got
more satisfaction out of It than he
did all the rest of his putouts of the
game The minute Cobb stepped to
the plate every man was on his toes.
"I really believe that Cobb has been
responsible for the superiority of
play in the American league over
the National league during the past
ten years.
"It doesn't make any difference
what these fellows think of Cobb
they all owe him something."
"You must devote a great deal of
thought to your speeches." "I do,"
replied Senator Sorghum. "Some of
those to which I give least thought
before they are delivered make me
think hardest afterward."—Washing

Though the big bisoball leagues
are at odds on a number of other
matters, they agreed on one point
ooint that probably will mean con
antirtble satisfaction to the fans.
That is a retention* of the plan for
distributing a portion of the world's
series money among the second,
third and fourth clubs in each clcult,
according to the order In which they
finish. The scheme worked out so
well last year that It will be con
tinued in 1919, and the action will
be approved by the fans everywhere,
as the system serves to keep the
players hustling right up to the
finish and provides a better brand of
baseball during the closing weeks of
the season.

and in the space thus made put a
lighted candle to rehder the face
more startling; but he conceived
an idea of his own that promised
to be quite as effective He decided
to manufacture the form of a man,
who would wear this pumpkin head,
and to stand it in a place where
Mombl would meet It face to face.
'And then," said Tip to himself,
with a laugh, "she'll squeal louder
than the brown pig does when I
pull her tail, and shiver with fright
worse than I did last year when I
had the ague!"
He had plenty of time to accom
piioh this task, for Mombi had gone

New York, Dec. 20.—A new means
of defeating prohibition by abolish
ing the "crazy cabaret" and the
"dippy dance" was • advocated here
to-day by Henry Barker, president
of the Northern California Hotel
Manufacturers Association conven
tion delegates at Madison Square
Garden.
The "dippy dance," Mr. Barker ex
plained, is the kind where the par
ticipants touch cheeks and rest heads
on shoulders. He said he believed
the prohibitionists would consent to
the sale of beer and light wines at
well conducted cabarets if "the
attendant vice" were eliminated.
"Hotelmen should agree to reason
able police regulation under the new
plan," the speaker. "If
orders were violated or abused, re
vocation of the license should follow
Immediately." .

said—and it was a journey of at
least two days.
So he took his ax to the forest and
1 selected some stout, straight sap
lings, which he cut down and
trimmed of all their twigs and leaves.
From these he would make the
arms and legs and feet of his man.
For the body he stripped a sheet of
thick bark from around a big tree,
and with much labor fashioned It
Into a cylinder of about the right
size, pinning the edges together with
wooden pegs. Then, whistling hap
pily as he worked, he carefully
Jointed the limbs and fastened them
to the body with pegs whittled Into
shape with his knife.
By the time this feat had been
accomplished it began to grow dark,
and Tip remembered he must milk
the cow and feed the pigs. So he
picked up his wooden man and car
ried It back to the house with him.

fully rounded all the edges of the

In a and workmanlike manner.
Then he stood the figure up against
the wall and admired It. It seemed
remarkably tall, even for a full
grown man; but that was a good
point In a small boy's eyes, and Tip
did not object at all to the size of
his creation.
Next morning, when he looked ai
his work again, Tip saw he had for
gotten to give the dummy a neck, by
means of which he might fasten the
pumpkin-head to the body. So he
went again to the forest, which was
not far away, and chopped from a
tree several pieces of wood with
which to complete his work. When
he returned he fastened a cross
pieoe to the upper end of the body,
making a hole through the centei to
hold upright the neck. The bit of
wood which formed this neck was
also sharpened at the upper end, and
when all was ready Tip put on the
pumpkin-head, pressing it well down
onto the neck, atid found that it
fitted very well. The head could be
turned to one side or the other, as
he pleased, and the hinges of the
arms and legs allowed him to place
the dummy in any position he de
sired.
'Now, that," declared Tip proudly,
"is really a very fine man, and it
ought to frighten several screechoj
out of old Mombl! But It would
be much more lifelike if it were
properly dressed."
To find clothing semed no easy
tusk; but Tip boldly ransacked the
great chest In which Mombi kept all
her keepsakes and treasures, and at
thb very bottom he discovered some
purple trousers, a red shirt and a
pink vest which was dotted with
white spots. These he carried away
to his man and succeeded, although
•he garments did not fit very well,
in dressing the creature in a Jaunty
fashion. Some knit stockings be
longing to Mombi and a much worn
pair of his own shoes completed the
man's apparel, and Tip was so de
lighted that he danced up tnd down
and laughed aloud in boyish ecstasy.
"I must give him a name!" he
cried. "So good a man as this must
surely have a name. I believe," he
added, after a moment's thougnt, "X
will name the fellow "Jack Pump
kinhead!"
Next Story? Mombi, who has Just
secured from a wizard a magic pow
der which brings to life anything it
touches, tests this powder on the
pumpkin-headed man which Tip has
put in the road to scare her. Jack
Pumpkinhead comes to life, but
Mombl cannot forgive Tip for his
intention to frighten her, so brews
some magic concoction which will
turn Tip injo a statue when he
drinks it. But Tip is a smart boy,
and you will see whether or not he
ever takes this potion.

MARYLAND JURY
ACQUITS SLAYER
OF MAJOR KING
Cause of Trouble Between
Accused and Man He Killed
Was Not Disclosed
Klkton, Md. t Dec. 21—Charles Hal
hnrdt Johnson was acquitted by a
Jury last night of the charge of
murdering Major William R. King,
of Brooklyn, N. Y., supervising engi
neer of the Aberdeen proving
grounds. The jury was out two
hours and fifteen minutes.
Johnson shot Major King in the
Johnson homo on tho night of July
17, last. Counsel for the defense
contended that the shooting followed
a struggle in which Johnson claimed
that the army officer had him down
on his knees with his -hands on
Johnson's throat. Johnson had been
cashier of the National Bank at
Aberdeen.
Last year when the Government's
proving ground was established
near Aberdeen, Johnson obtained a
position in the accounting depart
ment. He became acquainted with
Major King, who subsequently rent
ed a room at the Johnson home.
For some time the two men seemed
to be fast friends, and it was said
that King used his infulence to ad
vance Johnson in position.
During the early part of July last,
trouble between the two men devel
oped, the cause for which was not
clearly brought out at the trial, and
Johnson ordered King to move out.
The major replied that he had rented
the room by the month and would
not move until the time was up. On
the night of the shooting Johnson
ordered the major to leave and the
altercation followed.
Mrs. King and her daughter and
Mrs. Johnson and Miss Esther Os-
Born, the ward of tho Johnsons,
were in the courtroom during the
closing argument, but Mrs. Johnson
was the only one of the women who
remained to hear the verdict.
Rolla Ogden, president of the New-
York Evening Post Company, and
General John W. Bubb, of Wilming
ton. Del., when called by the state
to testify as to the character of
Major King, with whom they had
been acquainted for years, were only
permitted to testify as to the major's
physical condition.

The changing of the date for the
