If you are growing hard of hearing
and fear Catarrhal Peafness or if you
have roaring. rumbling. hissing
notses in your ears, go to your drug
gist and get 1 ounce of Parmint
tdouble strength), and add to it 14
pint of hot water and a little granu
lated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful

from the distressing head noises.

HOUSE ABSENTEES
SEVERELY SCORED
Speaker Spangler Says They
Must Answer if Session
Is Prolonged
Members of the House of Repre
sentatives who leave Harrlsburg on
Tuesday and prevent a large attend
ance to clear up calendars on Wed
nesdays were scored by Speaker
Spangler today at the opening of the
session. When the hour to meet ar
rived, less than a quorum of mem
bers was on hand and calls were sent
out to get in legislators. *
"There is a heavy calendar today,
and the attendance is not satisfac
tory. I am disappointed, indeed. In
previous sessions it has been the cus
tom at this season to work until
Thursdays." said he. "Now it seems
very, difficult to have a sufficiently
large house to do business even on
Wednesday morning. If the mem
bers of this House contemplate an
early adjournment the chair would
suggest that the members be present
when the Legislature is in session.
"It is not fair to the members from
the western end of the State, who are
compelled to be here practically the
whole week, for other members to
leave early Tuesday."
"VETS" WANT HEARING
Hearings on liquor bills may be
held several times the remainder of
this month. Some of the advocates
of the Ramsey bill defining what
shall constitute intoxicating liquors
to-day objected to the plan to em
brace that bill in the list for the gen
eral hearing by the law and order
committee of the House next Tues
day and wish a separate hearing.

CAMPAIGN IS

MANY MEMBERS
Canvassers Working Hard in
Final Stages of the
Big Drive
The drive for new members for the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
will end at noon to-morrow, but
members of the committee will not
let up in their activities a moment
before that time. All the canvassers
were busy to-day concentrating their
efforts on the prospective members
who thus far have held back from
Joining the organization.
The members of the committee ex
pect to boost the total of new mem
bers considerably before they meet
in the Harrisburg Club at noon to
morrow to report the results of the
campaign. Several canvassers who
happened to meet this morning while
calling on their prospects, in ex
changing notes on the results of their
canvass thus far, expressed them
selves greatly pleased with the re
sults of the drive.
Some of the workers have been of
fered rather flimsy pretexts by eli
gible prospects who failed to respond
to their so'icitations by joining the
chamber. Some of the prospects
appear to be holding back until oth
er men in their line of business set
an example by joining. "Others in
my line are not members, why should
I be," said one man this morning.
"Because other men shirk taxes
wouldn't excuse your doing it," re
plied F J. Consylman, a member of
the committee, "because other men
mistreat their families, would be no
standard for you. The man who
hides behind another man's failure to
do his duty is hard up for an ex
cuse. You should be an example to
your trade, not one of its • prob
lems."
Sergeant Lightner Gets
Place in Overseas School
Sergeant Donald C. Lightner, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Z. F. Lightner. of 737
South Twenty-sixth street, lias been

Stripes," the official newspaper of the
American Expeditionary Forces, this
university will be opened on April 10
and will give the soldier students u
choice of fourteen courses, in terms
of three months, and will accommo
date about 10,000 students. It will
take over the buildings which former
ly comprised the large hospital center

I ing to military rank, but from their
illness to teach the subjects to which
) they are assigned.
I Sergeant Lightner enlisted in the
| Medical branch of the service in May,
j 10IS, and was assigned to Hospital
| Train No. 40 and trained at Camp
lOieenlcaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
'He was promoted to sergeant, first
; class, before going overseas in Au
gust, 191 S. and saw service in France
from that time until the signing of
the armistice, being stationed at the
] hospital center at Beaune nearly all
of that time.
He was selected for his new assign
ment on account of his experience as
lecturer in the moving picture adver
tising campaign of the Hershey Choco
late Company, which position he filled
for several years.

Legislators to-day conferred with

I mission regarding action by the
j State on the increase in telegraph
J rates by the United States authori

. day when it meets in executive ses
j sion. Since the decision of the Dau

KING Henry, of England, fixed the original yard measure in an arbitrary way. He decreed
that a yard should reach from the tip of a man's nose to the end of his thumb. Later on be
cause some men had short arms and others long ones, the standard yard stick was adopted, but
even then it depended on the salesperson whether the customer got really accurate measure.
A recent test showed that out of forty-four pieces of ribbons purchased in various stores
throughout the country only one piece was meas ired correctly.
