TWO SHOT AT
FROM AMBUSH
Thomas Lighty 'and Alfred
Johnson Shot at Near
Quarries
Thomas Eighty, credit manager
of the Steelton Store Company, while
driving his automobile on the road
passing the Steel Company quar
ries, was shot at twice by someone
hidden along the side of the road.
Neither of the shots struck Eighty
although one passed uncomfortably
close to his face. Lighty was re
turning from Highspire shortly af
ter 9 o'clock when the shooting oc
curred. Lighty immediately noti
fied the police and a thorough search
was made. Steel company watch
men located at rtie quarry said they
heard several shots iired, and help
ed In the search, and although the
place was flooded with light by
means of strong electric lamps, no
one was discovered.
Alfred Jamison, an electrician of
the frog shop of the steel plant, this
morning reported to the police hav
ing several shots fired at him last
evening in the same vicinity as
Lighty was fired upon. It is thought
that irresponsible youths were mak
ing passing automobiles targets for
revolver practice. An Investigation
is being made by the police.
Associated Charities
Receive Check For $229
Mrs. Charles A. Alden last eve
ning received a check for $229 in
favor of the Associated Charities of
Steelton. The check represents a
portion of the treasury balance of
the Steelton Reserves, which was
disbanded shortly after the armis
tice was signed. The Reserves were
disbanded because their purpose had
been accomplished. They numbered
ahout two hundred men and were in
two companies. Company A was
headed by Captain Charles A. Alden,
while Company B was under Captain
Max Reiter. At the time of dis
banding it was decided to divide the
money in the- treasury between the
Associated Charities and the Red
Cross.

"Don't Change Your
, Husband" Splendidly
Shown at the Regent
At the Regent theater this after
noon the famous play, "Don't
Change Your Husband," was pre
sented in compelling manner on the
screen. There was a large audience
present, who found itself moved to
emotion at times by the swiftly
changing scenes of the play. For
instance, one felt a lump in his
throat as he saw splendid Jim Por
ter go out-of the life of his wife
simply because he ate onions, was
careieas in dress and as to where ho
threw his cigar ashes, and didn't
take the interest in his pretty help
mate he should because he was head
over heels in business.
The play is splendidly acted by a
most capable company. The de
nouement is thrilling. Leila Porter,
after having been married to a con
scienceless scoundrel, returning with
more than ordinary gladness to the
heart of tlie good man who first
married and then divorced her when
she told him she wanted freedom.
The play is one that ought to crowd
the Regent to-night.
Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
A week or (en days ago a girl wrote
to this column saying she was too shy
to make friends with men, that she
shut up like a clam when any were
about, and that she was very unhappy
over her fate—the letter was signed
"Lonesome Twenty-three."
Up to date I have received for this
girl eleven proposals of marriage, four
teen letters from men saying they
would like to make her acquaintance
and seventeen from women stating they
would be glad to befriend her and try
to see that she has a better time. Forty
two in all. letters for a girl whose chief
claim to distinction! is that she "shuts
up like a clam when a man is about."
Are these letters so many straws
showing that the wind has begun to
blow from a different direction, and
men—after a surfeit of the other kind
—-are looking about for girls of a queer
type ?
I am sorry it will be impossible for
me to forward any of this mail to
"Lonesome Twenty-three." as personal
introductions are taboo in this column.
But no doubt wlten she realizes for the
first time how men really regard a
sweet, modest girl, she will be less ill
at ease with them and readier with tlie
give nnd take of small talk.
I hope so at any rate, because this
"modest violet" type of girl is more
than refreshing after tlie flaunting,
sunflower type that has wearied our
eyes at every turn for the last few
years. and wliidli is about as restful
for war-jangled nerves as a screaming
circus poster.
1 am going to quote part* of one of the
letters that came to me from a young
officer in regard to the shy little girl
who "shuts up like a cla:V' when a
man is ahout. "What has become of
the old time girl that a fellow used to
able to visit in her own home; instead
of meeting on the street corner, aw
they do nowadays, and when the man
arrives, insisting on taking him to a
Cabaret, where site can 'shimmie.',
drink and smoke to her heart's con
tent. then 'home, James,' in a taxi?
The young lieutenant goes on to sav
that what lie is looking for is ;i real
pal who will have some interest in the
sane, wholesome things of life, and who
does not spend her entire time skating
on thin ice without stopping to think
of the consequences until it is too
late.
New 'Fashions in Girls
Spring fashions in girls seem to he
changing, for styles in girls change as
much as they do in skirts, boots or
breakfast foods. And perhaps the
challenging young, person who has
occupied tlie public eye so long is get
ting to he something of a back num
ber. Her vivid complexion, her extreme
and scanty attire, her Impossible shoes,
her bravado "went with" the clamor
and confusion of war. 'But now that
we are getting hack to tlie paths of
peace our taste will favor a more rest
ful type than the iiellona of the hobble
skirt and the impressionable -com
plexion.
Intimations of the change are al
ready apparent in tlie advance fashions
skirts are longer than they have been
in several years, the too revealing
blouses are drifting to tlie limlio of tlie
bargain-counter. where their scant
flimsiness may he bought for about
half their former, price. Better and
more expensive models conform more
and more to an ideal of decency.
Hats arc less bizarre than they have
been for the last season or two, finally,
faces tire less reminiscent of a basket
of dyed Easter eggs.
"Yes, their make-up is a heap more
neutral than when we left 'em." a
Western Doughboy was beard to re
mark before lie was an hour on Ameri
can soil. t "They handle their camou
flage a whole lot better—less trowel
work."
Effect of Mar on l-'asllions
It would tie interesting if one had the
necessary time to trace a cause ami
effect relationship between war and
tlie bizzarre in dress. Look over old
prints of the Napoleonic period, and
the women wore, if possible, even less
than they have during the last three
or four years. The skirts of the Em
pire fashions were shorter than any
worn of late, and there was, without
exception, the same uncorseted effect
of silhouette.
Chroniclers of court gossip, rich in
backstairs detail, speak of the amount
of eosinelice used by Josephine, Marie
Louise, the Bonaparte sisters and their
ladies. The lengthy and comprehensive
detail, with which these embellishments
are, traced, suggest a modern tax re
turn in their subheads and compli
cations.
One particularly nauseating mess
that seems to have been held greatly
in esteem consisted of crushed strained
strawberry juice mingled with various
oils and greases into an emulsion. It
was smeared on at night, and was
supposed to be a sovereign remedy for
freckles.
As long as Napoleon persisted in
making a jig saw puzzle of the map
of Kurope, fashions kept up their
hectic tempo. Color rityels with the
make-up were turned in key with the
blare of trumpets and the rattle and
crash of artillery. The ladies—bless
"tm"—kept up a sympathetic accomp
animent at home in the matter of styles
and finery, with the desperate drama
proceeding at the front. Yet who so
demure In appearance as these same
ladies when it was all over. '
Not many years later, when Queen
Victoria came to the throne, a vision
of girlish sweetness, in ringlets, white
muslin, blue sasli and lieelless slippers,
we perpetrated that type through the
fashion prints of several generations.
No heroine of the best sellers, from
the forties, fifties' and sixties, ever ac
complished much in the way of romance
without her hook-muslin frock and blue
sash—emblems of girlish innocence.
Are we to have a return of these
charming stage properties? The
eleven proposals and fourteen letters
trom men—wearied by the blare of
the modern type—suggests that such
a revival is likely.
Wires to Come Down
All Along Walnut St
The American Telegraph and Tele

TUNNEL UNDER ENGLISH
CHANNEL TO BE BIG JOB
Construction of Tube From England to France Will Soon
Be a Reality; to Cost .$100,000,000
l.onUon. April 3.—lntense inter
est has been aroused by the govern
ment's announcement that the long
projected tunnel under the English
Channel to connect England and
France is soon to be constructed.
The cost of the enterprise is roughly
estimated at $100,000,000. Some say
the tunnel could lie cojnpleted in live
and one-half years.
A commission in Paris which has
been discussing this project also is
considering the building of tunnels
under the Bospliorus connecting
Europe with -Asia and one from
Gibraltar connecting Europe with
Africa.
The English Channel Tunnel .Com
pany already has done a vast amount
of work in anticipation of the re
sumption of actual construction of
the tunnel to France. Engineering
plans are said to be so far advanced
that the work could begin at once.
Big Engineering Feat
With tlic exception of the Panama
Canal, it will be tlie biggest engi
neering enterprise of modern times.
The total length, . including ap
proaches in England and France,
will be 32 miles, with more than
2114 miles of it under the sea. The
plans provide for two tunnels, each
18 feet in diameter, connected by
cross galleries at intervals of 200
yards. The maximum depth of water
on the route is 180 feet, and a cover
of chalk about 100 feet thick would
be left undisturbed above the crown
of the tunnel to provide against
danger from enemy'attack with sul^

' Sea Mo Problem
Speaking of the problems of build
ing the tunnel. English engineers
say the sea itself offers no difficulty,
that the only risk lies in the geologi
cal formations. The llrst layer un
der the channel is white chalk, and
beneath this is a belt of gray chalk
some 300 feet thick. The great
question is whether the gray chalk
is impervious to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined,
but expert opinion favors a spot
J just behind Dover and, in France,
a point close to Cape Griesnez,
The tunrtH will be capable of
handling 30,000 passengers and 60,-
000 tons of goods each way in 24
hours. Ordinary railway rolling
stock, including sleeping and dining
cars, will be able to use the route.

conscientiously carried on by rt-a
membership of the committee.
Chamber of Commerce officials
pointed out that the results of the
campaign are especially satisfactory
in view of the fact that practically
the enly persons who were canvassed
were the prospects who were listed
before the cunvus began. As this list
of prospects was limited, it is re
garded as highly satisfactory that so
many new members were secured.
Some of the prospects who through
the rush of the campaign or for other
reasons, were net interviewed, will
be seen in the near future.
Aim at 1,000 Mark
The members who Avere signed up
during the campaign were chosen
according to the standards of the
Chamber, which designates as. the
prime essential for membership, the
attribute of good citizenship.
Members of the committee wilt
not relax their activities because the
campaign ended to-day. Throughout
the year they will remain active
membership boosters, and carry oil
the work of extending tha member
ship of the Chamber to the repre
sentative and progressive citizens of
the community. Chairman Wright
said to-day that the committee pro
poses to increase the membership to
one thousand by the end of the year,
and keep it at that mark.
