MARCH ACTS
TO AID ARMY
Chief of Staff Declares Offi
cers at Liberty to Give Views
as to Future Policy
Wasldngton, Sept. 4.—Army offi
cers appearing before Congress to
give their views as to the nation's
future military policy need have
no fear of incurring the displeasure
of their superiors, the House Mili
tary Committee was told late yester
day by General March, chief of
staff, who appeared as the first wit
ness in hearings on the War De
partment bill for reorganization of
the Army on a peace basis.
Chairman Kahn had explained
that several officers had told him
privately that their appearance in
to some features of the
department's reorganization plan
might react against them.
"Would officers be reprimanded
or detailed to out of way places?"
asked Chairman Kahn. "Certainly
not," said the witness. "I hope and
Stop Itching Skin
— J
There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle
of Zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little Zemo, the penetrating, satis
fying liquid, is all that is needed, for it
lianishes most skin eruptions, makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

Many mothers who in order to keep the home neat and
attractive, the children well fed and dressed, continually
overdo.
The experience of motherhood alone causes a severe strain
upon the system, from which many women recover slowly,
and serious feminine disorders may develop unless great 8
care is taken to prevent them.
To 1 such women Lydia E. Pinkham's

urge the committee will set every ,
expression possible from the Army." |
Hundreds of automobiles, many
of them uncrated, have been held
in fields at Camp Holabird, Balti
more, since last February awaiting
sale by the government. Special
House War Investigating Commit- j
tee was told to-day by Major It. S. i
P. Evans, stationed at the Balti- I
more camp.
Asked by Chairman Reavis. Ne
braska, how many automobiles were
exposed at the camp, Evans said
4,000 were uncrated and 7,000 more
were in pine crates. Delivery of
trucks and pleasure cars from the
factories continued until five months
ago, Evans said.
Secretary Baker is asked in a
resolution adopted to-day by the
Senate for information as to the
number of commissioned officers
and civilians together with their pay
now attached to the office of the
Chief of Staff in Washington. The
measure was offered by Senator
Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon.
Two Texans Admit
Packers Paid Way
Washington. Sept. 4. Heads of
the two largest packing concerns
in the United States outside of the
"Big Five," a scattering of stock
raisers and meat dealers, and a
representative of Chicago Board of
Trade were among opponents of the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills for the
regulation of the packing industry
heard by the Senate Agriculture
Committee.
Senator Kenyon, Republican, of
lowa, cross-examined W. D. Rey
nolds and J. H. Nail, two Fort
Worth, Texas, ranchers, bringing
out admission that they had been
paid expenses by the packers after
appearing before Congressional
committees on a previous occasion
when legislation considered inimical
by the "Big Five" was under con
sideration, but both men insisted
they did not expect reimbursement
for' the trip.
Life's Problems
Are Discussed
lty Mrs. Wilson Woodrow
One of the greatest of the -oogles
that fret the heart of youth Is an
overpowering sense of responsibility,
the urge to set the world in order im
mediately.
Youth goes out of its way to bind
burdens on its shoulders which mel
lower middle age blithely discards. In
youth we realize painfully that most
things about us are all wrong, and
that most of the people with whom
we are associated are blind to their
best interests.
Instead of taking the road which
we are quite willing to point out will
lead to their ultimate happiness, they
insist on branching off into all sorts
of crooked by-paths. But In spite of
our convictions and our strenuous ef
forts to set things straight, the world
jogs along more or less comfortably.
A girl of fifteen, and still in school,
has written me a tearful letter of
her efforts to better the home.
"My mother works hard, very hard,
but still she could do her work in a
sanitary way, and she does not. My
sisters tell me I have no right to in
terfere with mother, but I must con
fess that I am ashamed of her house
keeping.
"Mrs. Woodrow, I cannot bear It.
I hate dirt. I firmly believe that clean
liness is next to godliness. I mean no
harm: I simply am looking for the
good of my family. When I return
from school I do many things to keep
the house looking clean, and so en
deavor to make things easier for my
mother, but she doesn't appreciate it."
The letter goes on in the same vein,
and seems to prove that the lot of
the self-appointed missionary is a
hard one, and that gratitude is not
listed high among Its rewards. It
would also seem that the path of this
particular young reformer is not
strewn with roses. It looks like an
other case of the Irresistible force
coming In contact with the lmmov-.
able body. 4
Of course, if things are as bad as
she says it must be a very Irritating
situation. Disorderly surroundings
are a perpetual thorn in the flesh to
an orderly spirit. One can counsel
the philosophical outlook, but youth
has a very limited stock of that valu-1
able commodity.
Yet what has she gained by lier
militaristic methods? Further on in
her letter she says: "My mother de- :
tests me, and so do the rest of the
family," which is probably a very ex- j
a%gerated statement, but she has no j
doubt by her present system of fault- i
finding and criticism succeeded in an- j
tugonizing her relatives, and she ad- J
mits that her efforts have not been \
successful.
Life is a series of compromises. To j
live happily, we must shut our eyes i
to many tilings. The art of being j
gracefully blind is worth cultivating. !
Also we must grant to others the right |
to live after their own fashion. No ]
one constituted this girl the overseer
of the household; her mother occupies
that position. If the daughter had
been more tactful she might have in
terested the mother in various ways of j
getting quicker and more satisfactory j
results; but she has gone about her
reforms in the wrong way.
It is not a pretty thing for a young !
girl who spends most of her time in j
school to criticize her mother's way i
of running the household. Her mother j
may not be a capable and most etli- j
cient housekeeper; but, nevertheless, i
as the daughter confesses, she "works I
hard, very hard." Her way of do- j
ing things may not be according to
the best modern standards, but it is I
her way, and she is now probably too i
old to change. The older sisters are j
quite right when they tell the younger j
that it is not her place to interfere, j
"But," she may ask, "what am I ;
to do? Am I to sit down in untidy, j
disorderly surroundings and try to j
make myself contented?"
Certainly not. But Instead of fret
ting yourself to a frazzle, cultivate |
a little philosophy. When we cannot (
change things, we must let them go. j
Really, about all one can do in the
world is to look after himself, phy
sically, mentally, morally and spiritu
ally. It is a difficult and dangerous
thing, too, to try and reform others.
If they need us they will come to us
and ask our aid. but most people
merely want to be let alone to work
out their own destiny in their own
way.
So, since you are only responsible
for yourself, cherish your native fas
tidiousness. It is a beautiful quality,
but excess in anything, even in a vir
tue, is neither orderly nor lovely.
Keep your own room spick and span.
You cannot be too dainty personally.
You have then fulfilled your whole
duty. It is a waste of effort to try
to reform people who do not wish to,
be reformed.
If I were you I would devote my-1
self to my studies, and then forget
the annoyances. If after leaving
school you are still not happy in your
home and have taken up some remun
erative occupation, you can then con
sider the question of living elsewhere.
KIPONA
(By Margaret M. Clark,
340 S. 17th St., Harrisburg. Pa.)
Two hundred years! Two hundred
years'.
It seems 'twere but a dream.
That time has wrought so great a
change
Along the Susquehanna stream.
See! the stretch of "sparkling
water,"
See! the "islands" clothed In
green.
Onward rolls the Susquehanna,
Broad, branching river, in beauty
seen.
Do you love a scene of beauty rare?
Turn your eyes towards the
stream,
Of the sparkling Susquehanna,
By its banks so cool and green.
As the 6Un is slowly sinking,
Beyond the hills far to the we3t,
Casting gleams of untold beauty
As it calmly sinks to rest.
Slanting out across the water
Rainbow hues we surely see,
More dim grows the lovely vision j
Soon 'twill fade from you and me.
Y'es! but turning footsteps home- |
ward.
Glancing towards the eastern sky, ]
Lo! Behold, the moon has risen,
Sheds its beauty from on high. .
True! across the self same water,
As the sun has sunk to rest.
"Moonbeams" scatter o'er the rip- ■
pies,
On its calm, its peaceful breast. j
Now has risen, oh! such wonders!
"Music! Sports!" Like "Fairyland
Dreams"
Enter all, in celebrating,
Learn what "Kipona Keystone"
means.
Can we see a sight more lovely?
Could we find a friend more true?
"Harris loved the natural beauty-
Built his "Home," his prospects
grew.
j Here now stands "Progressive City"
| Loyal! Honored! How swiftly too;
Far along the Susquehanna,
A city "Beautiful," through and
through.
Now, we celebrate its "Birthday"
And recall the times gone by—
When, all hours, men njust hearken,
Indians! Indians! That dread
"War Cry."
Onward flows the Susquehanna,
Peaceful, too, along its shore,
Happy in our "Homes of Freedom,"
Peace shall reign "forever more."
"Kipona" is an Indian name,
We love it more and more;
For "Sparkling Waters," thus it
stands,
Brimful, from shore to shore.
Roll on, you beautiful, wonderful i
stream!
From shore to hill tops grow I
Most "Beautiful Homes," "Great
Factories," too,
With "Pride," our "True Virtue"
we show.
CONDUCTOR GOT ENOUGH
"Fare, please!"
"My money is in the box!"
"Nix on that stuff. You went
right by."
"Bet your life I did. I been
waitin' two hours for a chance to
get inside."
"Forget it. Poy your fare and
cut out the bull."
"Get off your foot. I dug up
once."
"Where'd yuh get on?"
"Water street."
"Yes, you did. What happened
at River street just now?"
"Well, at River street, for one
thing, a woman handed you a quar
ter and you bluffed her out of her
change; at Hill street four people
got on and you rang up three fares;
at Prairie street, when you changed
that $5 gold piece—"
At this point the conductor de
cided he had enough.
Move on!" he shouted. "There's
plenty W room up front. Don't be
