ducers and importers, on the sales

For Skin Tortures
Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at SI.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.

WINDOW FALLS
INTO A CHURCH,
KILLING WOMAN
Injures Many Others and
Starts Panic Among
Worshipers
By .Associated Press,
Trenton, N. J., Xlay s.—The falling
of a ventilating window and sash
weighing three or four hundred
pounds from the roof of St. Mary's
1 Roman Catholic Cathedral, a distance
of 75 feet, into the crowded church
yesterday afternoon at a women's
mission, killed one woman, injured
more than a score of others and
started a near-panic among the wor
shipers. Miss Mary Kennedy, aged
40, of 135 Chancery street, the dead
woman, sustained a broken neck and
a fractured skull. Six others were
taken to hospitals. Michael Camp
bell, an usher who acting for the sex
ton, William Xlaher, attempted to
open the window when it crashed in,
collapsed after the accident and was
placed under medical care. He re
peatedly accused himself of murder.
First aid in the way of bandages
and appliances were rushed from Are
headquarters nearby and many of
the injured were being cared for
when a number of physicians arrived.
There were about 1,500 women in
the church and many fainted. A
section of pews was covered with
the blood of the injured. The mis
j sion was being conducted by the
. Vincentian Fathers of Germantown,
I and the priests by their coolness pre
vented a wild stampede In the
church.
City Building Inspector Hancock,
after an examination of the fallen
window, which was made of heavily
leaded glass, said that there was 110
defect in it or its attachment and
gave as his opinion that the wire
opening had been pulled hard enough
to force it off its hinges.

CHILDREN ARE
FACING PERILS OF
OF WAR PERIOD
Preliminary Arrangements
Made For Organizing Child
Welfare Bureau
Warnings that the health of the
country's children is endangered by
the war, and that it is necessary
for every city, town and community
in the United States to take im
mediate measures for child welfare
work, were sounded by Miss Sallie
lamas Jean, child welfare worker
from New York city, who addressed
a public meeting held in the Board
of Trade Auditorium Saturday
evening. Approximately 200 people
were in attendance.
"In all of the warring countries
the health of the children has al
ready shown distinct marks of de
terioration, due to war conditions,"
said Miss Jean. "Our own country is
no exception. The physical impair
ment of tho corning generation is
one of the most disastrous by-pro
ducts of the Great War, and one
of those after-effects, once estblish
ed, can never be fully undone.
"The ending of the war does not
end tho danger. These after-effects
can, however, be prevented, and the
teachers of the country can make a
big contribution to this work of pre
vention. One of the best methods is
to establish classes in the public
school in which the children are
ta.ught how to take care of them
selves physically as well as mental
ly. In cities where this system has
been adopted, the children show as
much interest in these classes as
they do in their regular school
work. They are as anxious to make
100 per cent, in health as in arith
metic, geography, etc."
Col. Edward Martin, State Com
missioner of Health, in a brief ad
dress promised his co-operation
with the plan and Mayor Daniel L.
Keister said he was willing to help
in any way.
Dr. Dorothy Hilds superintendent
of the child welfare division of the
State Health Department and Lieu
tenant J. H. Atkinson were other
speakers. D. J. M. J. Baunick, city
health officer was chairman of the
meeting.
A second meeting will be held
Thursday evening in the Y. M. C
' A. building when definite steps for
i the organization of a child welfare
bureau here, will be taken.

COLORED MEN OF
ARMY AND NAVY
GIVEN TRIBUTE
Big Service Flags Arc "De
mobilized" NVith Impres
sive Services
Impressive ceremonies marked
the demobilization of service flags
of colored churches and other or-
I sanitations, in the Technical High
School Auditorium yesterday after
noon. Silent tribute was given to
the memory of the men who are
represented on the flags by four
golden stars, when the 300 people in
the audience bowed their heads in
prayer.
The men on the roll of honor who
gave their lives in the service of
their country are: Private Charles
Thorn, Camp Sherman: James
Moore, Camp Grant, and Grover
White, all of the Army, and Andrew
Askins, Steelton, of the Navy, who
died at sea.
The little sponsors for the heroes
were Josephine Shephard, Minnie
Williams, Mary E. Davis and Ro
i sctta Blackwell. The little girls
were dressed in white and each
wore a gold star. They stood at the
front of the auditorium while the
tribute was being offered.
Addresses were made by R. E.
Cahill, Sergeant A. Demee Bibbs
and Sergeant Louis A. Howard, of
Steelton. Mrs. Florence Aokley Ley
led community singing. The serv
ice was under the auspices of the I
War Camp Community Service and '
was in charge of Lieutenant Rone- '
mus.
"Each star represents a 100 per
cent, pure American—unselfish, de
termined, aggressive—the zenith of
fidelity, courage, patriotism: each
represents a young man who went
forth—to make the supreme sacri
fice if need be—that those of you at
home might have a better chance
to demand that you might be per
mitted to live unhampered by petty
prejudices," Sergeant Howard said.
"They fought that you might have
that inalienable right given to all,
not only by the Federal Constitution
but by the laws of the Creator Him
self.
"The nation-wide bomb plot has
been laid at the door of the Reds.
There are no negro Reds; there are
no negro I. W. W.; there are no
negro Bolshevists A negro traitor is
| a thing unknown.
"The true history of America has
yet to be written," Sergeant How
ard said. "Sonic historian is yet to
give to tho negro American recogni
tion as slave and freeman. The negro
has contributed his all in making
America what she is to-day."

The story came out of Paris before
the armistice was signed that General
Gourard, the veteran
Jim Europe French commander of
anil His 1870. who made himself
Juxz lland so effective in the late
war, would'nt leave Aix
les Rains while the band of the Three
Hundred and Sixty-ninth Infantry
was there. The old hero of two wars
liked to listen to the jazz music of
the famous band of the "Hell Fight
ers," and he liked it so well that he
made his headquarters wherever the
band happened to be quartered. Lieu
tenant James Rees Europe, the fight
ing bandmaster of the famous colored
organization, will be here at the Or
pheum Wednesday, matinee and night,
to show why General Gourard and the
whole French nation went wild over
the band.
During fifteen months In the fight
ing zone. Lieutenant Europe's band
was detailed at various times to
lighten the spirits of the men In the
trenches, the wounded men in hos
pitals, the men on leavo from the
front, and the people that stayed at
heme. They were detailed at Paris
for a period when complaint came
from the actual fighting front that
the bovs for whom the hand was or
jgantzed were lonesome for their own
I musi; and were tired of the brand ba
ling doled out by other hands. General
Pershing had made the detail and
many soldiers and civilians who were
in Paris tried to convince him that
the joy-givin- usicians were neces
sary to the mi.rule of the French capi
tal.
It was General Gourard that car
ried the petition to the American
commander and convinced him that
ihe band should be sent back to the
bovs that were on the firing lines.
Tbev did return to the front and were
greeted by the "dough bovs" in such
fashion that Europe said that when
ever his band was sent away he
would rf main to take his place behind
a machi I • gun. the position he origi
nally enlisted for. Lieutenant Europe
was drafted but once. He entered the
service as a volunteer, despite his
reputation as a musician, and was
steadily plugging away at a machine
gun when Colonel Haywood found him
and drafted him from the ranks to or
ganize and direct a band. Later lie
entered an officers' school and receiv
ed his commission.
The band numbers sixty-five men,
and while the program will contain
jazz music, played as only colored
musicians can handle the syncopated
melodies, there will he selections cal
culated to display the abilities of the
hand to the fullest.
As Vert Rloom said recently in the
New York Telegram: "I don't think
we can dislike jazz music after we
hen- what it meant on the other side
If France, which of all countries in
the world knows what art is. took the
trap drum and the slide tromhone to
its heart In war times, then there is
something to say for the jazz fad in
America now."
In the principal roles of "Friendly
Enemies," which comes to the Or
pheum, Friday and Satur
"Frlcndlv day after phenomenal
Enemies'- pun oSnoptf) ui sassaoons
New York, will be found
Karl Pfeifer. a German-horn Amrl
ean. who Is drunk on Kaiserhrau Kul
tur and bleak obstinacy. In broad
comparison to this double-dyed Ger
man is the thoroughly Yankee Doodle
Dutchman, Henry Block, who is with
us because he is one of us and because
we need him more than any other
kind of ally in the world.
"Friendly Enemies." which has the
personal endorsement of President
Wilson, is well done and finely staged
by A. H. Woods, its producer, who s
sending a perfect cast to this city to
Interpret the various characters. This
event promises to be the most notable
of the present season.
