CMM SHOE BILLS
■ NEW SOUS
"The answer to the of shoe
wear lies in the use of Nealin Soles"—■
so says 11. L. Evans of Steubenville,
Ohio.
"For five months," says Mr.Evans, 'I
have been wearing the same pair of
Neolin-soled shoes at my work at the
La Belle Iron Works and they are
good for two months more wear. As
my work takes me to all parts of the
mill daily where I have to walk over
cinders,, slag, etc., it is simply out of
the question to buy anything else to ;
take the place of Nealin Soles."
You too—and your whole family—will
find Nealin-soled shoes wear long and
so save money. You can get th<?m in the
styles you like at almost any good shoe
store. And any repairman will re-sole
your worn shoes with Nealin Soles —
scientifically made to be durable, com- j
fortable and waterproof. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels —guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.

"THE FEDERAL FUEL*COMMIT
TEE FOR DAUPHIN COUNTY?'
Organized in 1017
The Dauphin county fuel admin
istration has regulated fuel affairs
m the county since November 3,
1917, when Mr. Htckok was ap
pointed local administrator. The
following day he appointed the com
mission, which was composed of
Walter P. Maguire, secretary; War
wick M. Ogelsby, Paul Johnston, S.
S. Pick, Millersburg, and Martin A.
Cumberland, Highspire. Paul John
stom acted as administrator during
Mr. Hickok's recent absence at a
training camp.
Since its creation, the administra
tion has regulated prices, deliver
ies and aided immeasurably in se
curing coal for the district when
acute shortages presented them
selves. Its first official act was to
he'p secure coal November 5. 1917.
for the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending plant, which was shut down
two days for lack of fuel.
November 30, 1917, at the insti
gation of the dealers, coal cards
were in&ugu rated, so that the needs
of consumers could ,be mqrc readily
filled. The method proved a great
success, and in the early spring of
1918, was augmented into the Cen
tra! Coal Exchange method, which
enabled every consumer to secure a
sUpp'y of coal for this winter.
December 19. 1917. the adminis
tration began the enforcement here
of the first lightloss nights, two a
week. Repeatedly coal was secured
when the city was using its last
supplies, and during last winter,
when the Harrisburg Eight and
Power Company was at the verge of
shutdown. Mr. Hickok secured coa\
to keep the plant moving.
When the shortage was most
acute last winter, a bureau was es
tablished in the Chamber of Com
merce offices to supply families
which were suffering most for lack
of coal.
The dealers comprising the coal
exchange and the members of the
fuel administration have expressed
mutual gratitude at the help they
have secured from each other.

the use of Tanlac. "I suffered from
nervousness, gastritis, indigestion
and liver trouble," fehe says. "A lot
of gas crept up around my heart and
caused me a lot of pain from water

RAILROAD NEWS
RETRENCHMENT
K CONTINUING
Special Duty Employe Has
Disappeared; Track
Forces Cut
The retrenchment order of the
Pennsylvania railroad is still in
progress on the Middle and Phila
delphia divisions and additional men
are being laid off daily. Few clerks
have been laid off here, although
on the Middle division, the force
has been cut to the very bong.
Relative to the retrenchment or
der, a Lewistown dispatch this
morning says: >
"The most drastic reduction in
force for years is now in progress
on the railroads in this section of the
state. All of the superfluous em
ployes incident to Intensive opera
tion during the war have been per
manently furloughed.
"The special duty employe is vir
tually a memory; assistant grain
masters hit the toboggan for the
runks whence they came. Chief and
even the common train dispatchers
are again 'at home' blocking trains
in the lonely tower in the heart of
the Alleghenies. .All levermen in
automatic and manual controlled
territory have been suspended and
operators are doing their own lever
work.
"Track forces have been cut 57
per cent, and train service men say
demotions will carry them back to
1907. All reductions are being made
in accordance with seniority rule
regardless of sex, nationality or
color."
An Altoona dispatch says:
"The latest step has been the
elimination of three assistant train
dispatchers on the Middle.division.
Up until this time, one assstant train
dispatcher was on duty at all times,
representing the chief train dis
patcher when anything of import
ance came up, he also having direct
charge of the operating of all trains
over the division.
"The assistant chief dispatchers
have been restored to duty as dis
patchers and the chief dispatchers
alone will be responsible for the
operation of trains.
"'A large number of car inspectors
have been laid off while the yards
and shops at Hollidaysburg have
practically been closed, the same be
ing true of operation at Tyrone."

EXPENSE PLAN
December, 1917, Is to Form
Busis For Expendi
tures
Definite announcement has been
made at Altoona by Pennsylvania
Railroad officials relatives to the op
erating basis of the shops and the
transportation service, the statement
being made that the expenses are to
be kept within those of December,
19i7, and January and February, 1918.
It is believed that'such will be the
cpnditions to prevail on all the Penn
sylvania lines east
A certain allowance is made each
month for necessary expenditures and
this is apportioned among the vari
ous shop departments and operating
divisions, the heads of each being
held responsible for keeping their re
spective outlays within the prescrib
ed amounts. During the war period
there was less attention paid to these
limitations, for the. traffic had to bo
kept moving regardless of cost and
the number of men employed was lim
ited only by the number that could
be gotten.
With .the termination of the war,
followed later by a slump in traffic, it
became necessary to curtail expenses
and when the recent'monthly allow
ances were prescribed, there was no
alternative for the division and de
partment heads but to reduce forces
when it was found that the allowance
was considerably below that given
during the past year.
Wages Higher Now
The total amount allowed is still
large, for it will be recalled that the
shops were running full blast with a
large complement of men during the
later part of 1917 and the early part
of 1918. But wages are higher now
than they were then and that means
that a smaller number of men can be
employed.
Another thing that enters into the
situation is the cost of materials.
These have been high and there has
been little or no reduction in their
cost thus far and probably will not
be for some time.
The reduction of forces to make ex
penses meet the budget is still In pro
gress and each day a number of men
are being laid off, the foremen pro
ceeding with the unpleasant task
which confronts them as the situation
develops.
Sunbury Division Men
• Arrested For Car Thefts
H. J. Lord arid John Dockweiler,
Virakcmen of the Sunbury division
of the Pennsylvania railroad resid
ing at Pottsville, were arrested
charged with wholesale thefts from
the company and a search of Lord's
home revealed $4OO worth of goods
alleged to have been stolen, among
them being 60,000 eigarets.
The particular offense, with which
the men are Charged, was committed
according to allegations, two weeks
ago and the officers In detailing the
carrying out of the robbery gave the
plan of operations as follows:
"Lord was employed on the shifter
in the Pottsville yards and Dockweil
er was employed on what is known
as the hill crew. The two men got to
gether on the plans and when one of
the Pennsylvania cars was on the
railroad at Nicholas street to he
shifted, Dockweiler handed the
goods, which consjsted of a consign
ment of 60,000 eigarets and other
goods, in' lesser amounts, out of the
car to Lord. The men placed the
goods on the pavement at Nicholas
street and then calling up the watch
man at Ulmer's packing, house,
learned where the chauffeur was.
He got out the truck of Ulmer's and
together with the two men and the
watchman, who was requested to go
for a ride, carted the goods away."

ORPHEUM BILL
PLEASES MANY
"The Girl He Left Behind" Is
Splendidly Played, and
Evokes Applause
Theatergoers who saw "The Girl
He Left Behind" at the Orpheum
theater last night had presented to
them a splendid picture of the
home-coming of the soldiers in the
last act. While there were deficien
cies in acting they were so few that
they were not noticeable to the audi
ence, which was intensely interested
in the story. Louise Carter played
the role of Mrs. Allison, the mother.
Other who were In the program iri
cluded: Grandpa Allison, who
fought with Grant, William Justin
McCarthy; Henry Farnum, one of
Longstreet's brigade, Charles Del-
Vecchlo; Betty Farnum, his daugh
ter, Milllcent Ward; Frank Allison,
Mrs. Allison's oldest son, Clifford
Lewis; Billy Allison, his younger
brother, Rollo I_>. Olin; Captaiji Von
Zollern, a Prussian officer, Arnold
Monroe; a German corporal, Harris
Brown; a German soldier, George
Laird.
The story has to deal with the I
great war. Billy Allison Is fired
with patriotic ardor and he goes
to Europe. His sweetheart follows
as a Red Cross nurse and his broth
er comes across, too. There is a i
gripping scene in a ruined French |
church and the audience gets a view
of real warfare. This is followed
by a joyous springtime climax, as
the program styles it.

gagement will begin Friday and be

ness and charm in "ixiave It to Jane."
it is smartly gowned, has a chorus of
youth, beauty and vivacity. The prin
cipals of the company which appear
here have been especially selected for
their parts and form a really excep
tional cast. The staging and cos
tumes are all new, and of the quality
that is described as artistic.
"Leave It to Jane" romped into
popularity in New York by a six
months' run at the Longacre Theater
and captivated Chicago by a six
months' season at the La Salle Thea
ter. The well-remembered humor of
George Ade's "The College Widow," is
sketched just lightly enough to serve
as an admirable libretto for this smart
musical comedy.
"Charle's Aunt," the sparkling com
edy, in its new and up-to-date musi-
cal version, which has
"Charley's convulsed the whole
Aunt" world with laughter,
comes to the Orpheum,
Monday, matinee and night, to spread
its gospel of mirth. Miller and
Kisser, under whoso management the
attraction will play here, werfe di
rectly associated for the past two
years with "Twin Beds." "Charley's
Aunt" is snld to be played with
great spirit and snap by an excellent
company of stage favorites.

transporting the large company of
actors and menagerie of wild animals

Brazil, where the scenes of "Tarzan

Instead, a section of Southern n#]!.

thousands of Harrisburgcrs who
watch eagerly for his new pictures
will welcome this opportunity to see
a brand-new release with Hart in a
brand-new role. In fact, this is the
first time Hart has ever worn a full
dress suit in'tlie movies, but needless
to say, he is just as much at home in
it as he is in the soft shirt and Stet

Spain In This throbbing ro
llaru Film mance of Spain, with
its wild, hot-blooded
love of romance and adventure, has
proved one of the best features in
which Theda Bara has been cast in
the leading role. If anything, it adds
to her already great fame, and lias
pleased hundreds of movie fans who
have seen her.
"Billy" West, in "Ship Ahoy." his
latest comedy, has turned out to be
one of the best laugh-producers bonk
ed at t'he Victoria in a long while,
and that's saying a whole lot. He's
at the Victoria to-day for the last
time in this picture.
