.FILMS TO SHOW THE NEAR EAST Starving Armenians Are De picted in Stirring His torical Picture Motion pictures showing the sit uation in Armenia and other devas tated districts in the Near East will be shown at the Technical High School Auditorium on Friday even ing at 8 o'clock, at which time Dr. L. Lincoln Wirt will give an ex planatory address, "Out of the Land of Sorrows." No admission will be charged and no contributions will be asked. Dr. Wirt will come to the city under the auspices of the Dauphin county branch of the American Committee for Relief in the Far East, formerly the American Committee for Ar menian and Syrian Relief. In the early part of 1919 Dr. Wirt spent weeks in Armenia, Syria and Palestine, taking with him G. R. Carrier, an expert motion picture photographer. Together they took about 20,000 feet of film, some of the pictures being taken on a 200- mile flight over Palestine. About 3,500 feet of film were taken from the front of a locomotive, while many other scenes were taken showing the actual conditions in Armenia, the country that was devastated b> the Turks in their attempt to wipe out that nation. Dr. Wirt interviewed many refu gees in Armenia and will tell of the work being done by the American committee giving relief to this starving, war-stricken race. Amonpr the places G/'whichroo tion picture scenes will be shown are Galilee, the Lebanon mountains and Jerusalem in the Holy Land; views of Syria and its (Jevastation. Damascus, Armenian cities w hk:h have been scenes of pillage and slaughter, and finally Egypt, the Suez canal, Port Said and Armen ian refugee work provided by Amer ican funds. , . ~ Dr. Wirt's pictures and talk are part of the educational campaign to acquaint Americans with the need for Armenian Relief. During the latter part of January a nation-wide campaign will be carried on to raise $30,000,000 for the relief of the countries in the Near East. Dau phin county will contribute about $75,000 of this amount Railroads Favor a Grade Crossing Sign The State Public Service. Commis sion has announced that a number of the railroads of the State hat e agreed to place a uniform style of warning sign at grade crossings. This sign, which was adopted follow ing a series of investigations and tests, is designed to be placed 300 feet from each crossing being of metal on a post five feet high. It is a disc two feet in diameter with n white field on which the letters " R R " are to be painted with black lines. The sign has been adopted by the American Railway Association and various Public Service Commis sions. It is not believed that it will require legislation, but that the value of a uniform warning will be appreciated. John P. Dohoney, Chief of the Bureau of Accidents, expresses the belief that if these signs should be placed at the 12.000 grade cross ings in Pennsylvania it would ma terially reduce the number of acci dents. Investigations into accidents have shown an increase in numbers in recent years, automobiles figur ing frequently. In August of thi3 year alone there were 42 grade crossing accidents. 36 of which were automobiles. Last year 110 occu pants of automobiles were killed and 288 injured at grade crossings. —MB—T~ ' - ■ = " THE GLOBE THE GLOBE 1 THE GLOBE'S j . I After-Christmas Sale j '•ir. f: I?

People Complain Because Old Ties Are Being Burned The burning of old worn-out ties without warming anyone is the sub ject of complaints received by the Railway Association of Canada. A circular has been issued by the as sociation, noting these complaints and referring to the shortage of fuel. The complainants have been informed that the railways would be glad to give surplus old ties to people who want them and thereby alleviate the fuel shortage to some extent, provided this can he done without expense to the railways. The association further suggests that where worn-out ties are avail able the railways give notice to the municipal authorities.

Fight on Wood Alcohol Starts in This State Four branches of the State gov ernment have united to halt the sale and distribution of concoctions con taining wood alcohol as the result of the sickness and death caused by use of such preparations and every manufacturer, distributor and dealer in drug or chemical preparations has been notified to file with the Com missioner of Health by January 8 an affidavit that unofficial preparations made, handled or sold do not con tain wood alcohol. By unofficial preparations is meant such as are not listed in the United States pharmacopoeia. None in the pharma copoeia contains wood alcohol. In this way it is hoped to detect those which j have the dangerous intoxicant as an ingredient. Failure to file an affi l davit will mean that an embargo | will be placed on the preparation. Col.
