    .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.

"King Albert desires me to con-
I vey to you and your experienced
staff, his best thanks for the excel
lent management of his special train
over your system. He appreciates
highly the attention given to him
during his trips."
This telegram was received by
Elisha Lee, Federal Manager of the
Pennsylvania railroad, Eastern
Lines, from Albert, King of the P.el
gians. through his Secretary, Max
Leo Gerard, upon the completion of
the tour of the United States of the
King and Queen of the Belgians.
The King and Queen started their
tour from Pennsylvania Station,
New York, 12.01 a. m. October 5,
in a train made up at that point,
and in which their Majesties and
retinue lived throughout the entire
journey. This train consisted of
two Pennsylvania railroad all steel,
electrically lighted baggage cars, a
Pennsylvania Railroad all steel din
ing car, together with the necessary
sleeping cars for the members of
the party ,and Pullman private car
"Boston" for the use of the King
and Queen.
The train throughout its trip was
in charge of C. E. McCullough, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Passen
ger Department, and J. J. Gormley,
Special Baggage Master of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The train con
sisted of nine cars, and Just as it
was made up at New Tork was
used over the entire trip from coast
to coast and return* until the trip
ended October 27. 9 p. m. in the
Pennsylvania Railroad Station at
Washington.
Persliing Special.
General Pershing upon his return
from the command of the American
Expeditionary Forces in France,
completed the final end of his jour
ney to Washington. September 12,
in a special train consisting of one
Pennsylvania railroad all steel, elec
trically lighted baggage car. four
Pennsylvania Railroad all steel, elec
trically lighted coaches, one Penn
sylvania railroad all steel dining car
and three parlor cars, moving from
New York to Washington via the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Cardinal Merrier made several
trips over the Pennsylvania Railroad
during September and October, the
Cardinal and his party using Pull
man private car "New York."
The Prince of Wales during his
visit to the United States traveled
in a special train which was made
up at Ottowa, Canada, on the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad.
This train left Ottowa November
10 and consisted of two Pennsyl
vania railroad electrically lighted
steel baggage cars, a Pennsylvania
railroad electrically lighted steel
dining car. the necessary sleeping
cars for the accommodation of the
party, and Pullman private car
"Washington" for the use of the
Prince.
On this tour, as on the tour of
the Belgian King. C. E. McCullough,
and J. J. Gormley, were assigned
to accompany the party. This train
passed twice over the Pennsylvania
raliroad between New York and
Washington, terminating the tour of
the Prince of Wales at Jersey City
the morning of November 18.
President's Train
President Wilson on his last trip
to the Pacific Coast left Washing
ton September 3 traveling via the
Pennsylvania railroad between
Washington and St. Louis in both
directions and returning September
27. For tlits trip a special train con
sisting of two Pennsylvania rail
road all steel, electrically lighted
baggage cars, electrically ' lighted
steel dining car, four sleeping cars,
a club car and a private car, "May
flower." was provided. This equip
ment remained intact throughout
the entire trip, the Pennsylvania
railroad dining car serving tlia
meals for the party from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific Coasts and return.
The Pennsylvania railroad equip
ment provided for these trains be
ginning with the special train for
President Wilson, September 3, and
terminating November 18 with the
arrival of the Prince of Wales at
Jersey City, had been used almost
continually in the service of the
guests of the Nation.
Pennsylvania railroad employes in
PennsyU'ania railroad dining cars
provided, prepared and served meals
to all these parties on all railroads
over which they traveled.
Pennsylvania railroad employes
accompanied these parties through
out their journeys, caring for the
service. Employes operating these
special, parties over the Pennsyl
vania railroad delivered each one
of these specials at its destination
on time.
Middle Division Head
Makes Plea For Economy
Superintendent J. C. Johnson, of
the Middle division, in a bulletin
posted a few days ago on the various
bulletin boards along the division,
makes a plea for economy. He asks
that the employes use economy in
the use of supplies.
The bulletin calls attention that
during the month of November there
were issued 900 first aid boxes, 796
quart oil cans and 587 tallow pots, in
addition to other supplies, such as
torches, water buckets, shovels,
pokers, etc. He says "every em
ploye knows that it does not take
this large number of supplies to keep
the Middle division going," and con
cludes with a plea for conservation.
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.
Pennsy Girls Practice

Cumberland, Perry, Fulton and
Adams counties. His headquarters
will be in the Telegraph Building.
Before becoming Deputy State

State Superintendent by the late Dr.
Nathan C. Schaeflter to succeed the
lamented Henry Houck, during the
administration of Governor Edwin

State. He is a member of the Coun
cil, National Educational Association
and was State director for Pennsyl
vania in the N. E. A. from 1906 to
1919.
Dr. Teitrick has lectured in al
most every courthouse in Pennsyl
vania and was in demand on the lec
ture platform in teachers' institutes
throughout the United States.
Appointments of medical inspec
tors of schools to-day by Col. Ed
ward Martin, State Commissioner of
Health, practically complete the or
ganization of this inspection work in
the schools of Pennsylvania. Virtu
ally every school district of the State
now has a medical inspector and tor
the first time every pupil is given
such examination as is needed to as
sure the remedying of slight defects
and the careful treatment of more
serious ones. The inspection was
started some years ago. but extended
gradually until legislation enacted
this year paved the way to complet
ing the system. In every district Dr.
Martin has selected men in active
practice who have means to get
about the district and the organi
zation has been perfected to a point
where prompt reports can be made.
It is the intention to name other in
inspectors as districts are created or
vacancies occur so that the pupils
will be given all possible advantages
and a follow-up method adopted.
In a short time the appointment of
a number of additional health coun
cils in various counties will be made,
the names having been submitted to
Colonel Martin for action.

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.

Mr. Geyer was right
when he told the Harrisburg Advertising
Club "It pays to use the professional ad
vertising man."
Good business methods always bring
customers; when such methods are joined
to a REAL CAMPAIGN IN THE
NEWSPAPERS, success is almost cer
tain.
Would you want an amateur lawyer
to defend you? Why depend on amateur
advertising?

arations do not contain wood alco
hol" the embargo would be laid.
These affidavits must be filed by
January 8.
Meanwhile the bureau of narcotics
will co-operate with Federal and
