REGENT Motion Pictures "Papa's Daughters" "Papa's Daughters," at the Majes-1 tic to-night and to-morrow night, is an 1 operetta containing thirty of the new- i est song successes, absolutely up to the I minute, plenty of comedy and dancing,' an augmented orchestra, specially chos ! en; brand new scenery anil costumes, I all snap, no dead moments, every de- j vice that it is possible to use in a pro- ' duction that pleases is employed. The ! operetta will be presented by Harris- ■ burg's Players and Singers' Club, an j organization of 125 members, for the | benefit of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Polyclinic hospital. Adv.* Ellen Terry The actress, who is naturally sensi tive to the influence of clothes, knows tfcat she cannot do justice to a given ' part if clad in unsympathetic mate rials and inharmonious colors. Ellen Terry has the keenest appreciation of this fact; moreover, she has her daugh ter, Miss Edith Craig, who is strongly imbued with the dramatic side of the question, design the garments which so exactly fit any part in which her mother appears. An iuteresting story is attached to Miss Terry's red gowii in "The Merrv Wives of Windsor.' She wanted some thing simple, as best adapted to the character. A soft linen was specially woven and the gown constructed of it. It was, however, not an absolute suc cess, and exactly eight hours later Miss Craig had another made to take the place of it. There was no time to search London for the correct shade, and at the critical moment Miss Craig's eye fell upon Sir Henry Irving's dross as Cardinal Wolsey. Adv.* "The Old Homestead" America's greatest success comes to the Majestic next Thursday, matinee ' and night. "The Old Homestead" will always rank among the great plays of the American stage, even after it has ceased to be presented and lingers only in memory. It has no plot, no ; high-flown dialogue, no rollicking pe riods; these are ail lacking. What it | successfully purports to be is a charm ing study, with plenty of light and shade; intrigue is wanting, but in its place is an exquisite presentation of | honest motives. The present' is the twenty-ninth season of Denman Thomp ; son's famous play and it will doubtless go on for many more years delighting I theatregoers all over the country. There is scarcely a city large or small in the country where "The Old Home : stead has not been seen. The famous : quartet of farm hands anil Grace church ! choir is still the musical feature of the production. The original produc tion, under the personal direction of Frank Thompson, will be seen here in I the graud old success and play. Adv.* Howe's Travel Festival j To what extent the life and destiny ; of a nation depends upon the strength i and efficiency of its navy has been im ! pressed so deeply during the past few 1 months, even upon those who have paid | no heed to it heretofore, that the big i feature to be presented by Lyman H. Howe at the Majestic next Friday and < Saturday, with daily matinees, assumes an importance that can hardly be over- I estimated. Every inch of the film was | photographed not only by authority of ! the Secretary of the" Navy, Mr. i>an | iels, but with the most enthusiastic co i operation of the commanders and ofH- I cers of the fleet. Native life in the j Philippines is another feature of re \ markable interest, showing the strange j customs of different tribes and how j these same tribes have been led to j civilization by Uncle Sam. Unique j customs, weird scenes, strange dances ] ■ and the swift march of progress are all ! , vividly illustrated. It is an astonishing | object lesson, showing how these j j strange people have been redeemed I 1 from savagery. One portion, in partic ! ular, was secured at great personal ; risk, showing the last head hunt which j ever occurred in Bontoc. This portion I never has been and never can be dupli | cated, as head hunting has now ceased. Adv.* At the Orpheum Una Clayton, the little actress-au j thor, returns to the Orpheum this week in the best playlet she has written or J played. Its simple title is "Milk," which seems common enough, but which is said to give as much food for thought as there is nutriment in this household article. Realizing the fact that infant mortality was reaching ap- j pulling figures, and that the cause was ! mostly due to wretched milk, the New ; York milk committee appealed to no i less an artist than Miss Clavton to write a vaudeville act that would be entertaining, instructive and fully set forth the lesson of the milk question. Since Miss Clayton always devoted her stage productions to up'lift work, she grasped the subject eagerly. She sought out facts from the greedy milk dealers, from dirty farms, etc., and turned to the other side of the story to learn its result on the coming genera tions. And so Miss Clayton is out to do her part to help to fight for good milk for babies and says she will be a doubly happy woman if she has the success she hopes for. However, "Milk" is not a preachment. It is a comedy drama, HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1915 containing as many laughs as it does tersely dramatic situations. It is en tertaining and presented in an artistic fashion. Among the sterling bill of attractions slated to support Miss (Hay ton and her company are old Harris burg favorites, Mack and Orth, the soiijr writers, who will come back with a rich comedy sprinkled with good songs. Also the Bogonghi Rider, the midget comedian, and his great white horse will figure in a screeching come dy novelty. O'Brien Havel and com pany, also favorites here, will appear in a frolic of mirth and music. Also the Three Bilfords, bicycle artists, who met with an accident at the Orpheum a few weeks ago. Adv.* At the Colonial "The Isle of Wishes," an allegorical musical comedy in three scenes, calling in the efforts of eleven players, will be the attraction unusual to i>e presented at the Colonial for the first half of the week. The playlet has wonderful elec trical fountain effects, is beautifully staged, handsomely costumed anil is said to be a veritable festival of mirth anil song. The other clever Keith hits will include W alton and pro- | senting a comedy singing skit; Stevens j and Bordeaux, in a clever comedy skit, j ! and Adolpho, the singing and dancing comedian. Interesting features in rnov- I ' n K pictures were selected that arc j bound to please admirers of this type | of entertainment. Adv.* Regent Theatre | The Urgent theatre this week will I present to-day, "Malta of the Low | land," five reels, featuring Bertha! I Kalich, a former stage star.

M. D., LL. D., Commissioner of Health ! v 1 1 The influence of heredity upon the I mental and physical health of the in dividual has been a deeply discussed j question and one on which there is! much to say both pro and con. Almost every physician who has' practiced for any length of time can I cite instances of individuals who by! rigid adherence to the rules of right i living and hygiene have triumphed over 1 serious physical handicaps rue to She- ! redity. If you have an individual weakness, j whether inherited or not, it is always! worth while to try and overcome it. lu many cases they can be favorably modi-! •fled by a continued and faithful effort, j Where the parents have suffered from organic or certain forms of com municable disease, children may be un fortunate enough to be physically marred beyond any hope of recovery. Fortunately laws are being enacted to prevent such marriages and stronger than any law is the growing sentiment against these unions to prevent the in tensifying of defects. Unfortunately people too often believe them insur mountable. We are all fumiliar with the story of how Demosthenes overcame the phys ical handicaps which seemed to threat en his career as an orator. For many years it was the general i , belief that tuberculosis was un heredi tary disease. It lias beeu demonstrat |! Ed that this is the rare exception. I However, when the parents are suffer ing lrom tuberculosis there is always ! a chance of the direct infection of the j children and tins led to the belief that i the disease was inherited. It is true I that the children of tuberculous par- I ents may inherit physical conforma j ti ous that will reduce their resistance jto the tubercle bacillus. Therefore, ev- I ery effort should be made to develop j whatever weakness may be inherited, i such as narrow chest, etc. Care, training and perseverance will | work wonders in correcting physical or i mental defects, whether inherited or the result of individual weakness. Polishing Pearls Pearl ornaments may be elegantly polished by first rubbing w;ith olive oil j to remove the dirty appearance, then j applying any red nail polish. This lat- I ter gives a burnished appearance, and j with a little fust rubbing the pearl takes on a brilliant glow.—Scientific i American. | Peter the Great's "Window.'* The city of St. Petersburg (renamed | Petrograd by the czar) was founded Iby Peter the Great in the year 1703. |He called it the ''wimtow through | which he could look out upon Europe."

Forney's Drug Store 126 MARKET STREET 810 GUNS AND WAR SHIP TURRET SENT TO ENGLAND INNeia SECTION OP GUN TURftET ON On board the steamship Transylvania when she left New York for England were two 16.1-inch guns and the turret of a battle ship. The pieces of ordnance, which were lashed to the forward deck of the vessel and consigned to a shipbuilding firm at Belfast, were the second shipment of arms from America. The shipment was made by the Bethlehem Steel Company, under a contract made with the British government by Charles M. Schwab. The enormous guns, carefully cased, each weigh 146,248 pounds and are fifty-three feet long. They are for use on battle ships now being hurried to completiou for the British navy at the shipbuilding yards at Belfast. Other guns of similar size are to be sent from America as fast as they can be manufactured. With the gun turret, which was fastened to the deck In between the two guns, the Transylvania at first glance looked almost like a fighting ship CREATE A NEW GERMAN GUN WITH A RANGE OF 25 MILES Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 25, 10.15 A. -\l.—A German military news paper announ-ces that a new naval gun of sixteeu-inch calibre and with a range of twenty-live miles, lias been created. Berlin, via London, .lan. -2'5, 11.30 A. M.— Remarkable figures regarding a new German naval gun are given by a German artillery expert, writing in the " Artilleristische Montas Wefte." 11l discussing au assertion by the London "Times" that the German navy possesses a gun which carries three miles further than the best Brit ish weapon, the writer admits that th« Krupps are manufacturing a gun whose projectile weight 920 kilograms (about a ton) and which develops muzzle velo city of 940 metres (about 3,700 feet) a second. The expert reckons from these figures that the gun has 5S iper cent, more muzzle force than the Britisk navy's best weapon aud has a range of about -12 kilometres (albout 18 miles) while the channel at Dover is only 33 kilometres (about 22 miles) wide. He savs the figures tjiven, if correct will permit the Germans even tually to command the English coast from Calais for a distance of nine kilo metres (about 6 miles) inland with the new gun. RUSSIANS BUY HORSESHOES: MILLION FOR COSSACK PONIES Catasauqua, Pa., .lan. 25. —The Bry den horse shoe works, which have been very busy since shortly after the begin ning of the war on orders for the allied armies, have just booked a new order from the Russian government. It is said this the langcst order of all, and is featured iby 1,000,000 shoes for the Cossack iponies. Other kinds wanted arc shoes for artillery horses, wagon train horses and the Siberian cavalry, whose animals are different from the horses of the Don and the Dnieper. The Rus sian order is so extensive that part of the work has been sublet. Shipments are to be made both via the Baltic, and Vladivostok. The Bryden plant is running day and night, employing 600 hands, all that can work to advantage, and the day shift runs until 9 o'clock at night. The output is about 100,000 horse shoes a day for #ach shift. WRITES WILL ON HAT BRIM Man Pursued By a Posse Then Slays Himself Lewistown, Mont., Jan. 25.—After having run amuck and burned camp wagons and a sheepshed belonging to Walter Winnett, by whom he was em ployed, W. S. Baldwin wrote his will on the rim of his hat and sent a bullet through his heart. At the time he. was hiding under a bank and was surround ed 'by a party of men who wore closing in on him, reason evidently returning to him in a measure, as in his will he left all his money, two horses, a home stead claim and his dog, to Mr. Win nett. Baldwin was a native of Texas, 30 years old and unmarried. He had been with the Winnett company about five years, being employed bv Mr. Winnott as a herder. He apparently came under the delusion that he was being perse cuted and fired the wa/gon and shed. He was armed with a rifle and auto matic and but for his suicide might have done a lot of inist'hief. YOUNG MAN KILLED IN CLUB Member of Democratic Organization Falls From Window in Fight Philadelphia, Jan. 25.—As the in direct result of a fight in the Twenty second Ward Demoerat.it? club, 24 West Chelten avenue, Germantown, last even ing, George Smith, 22 years old, 234 Ash mead street, is dead and seven members of the club are held by the police as material witnesses. While climbing along a window ledge in order to reach a wash room on the third floor, where George Fasey, the club steward, 58 years old, of 2'S'o Ash mead street, had taken refuge from the attack of the stronger faction, Smith slipped on the ice-coated sill and fell into the yard below. Hiis skull was fractured in throe places, anil he died a few minutes later in the Germantown hospital. BOHR REBELS AGAIN GIVE BATTLE IN SOUTH AFRICA Prctorin, Jan. 24, via London, .lan. 2's.—lt is officially annouuced that 1,200 rebels with four guns, under Lieutenant Colonels Maritz and Kemp, attacked Upington, Beehuanaland, yes terday. The rebels were repulsed, leaving be hind 12 dead, 23 wounded and 9tJ prisoners. The Union of South Africa forces lost 3 men killed and 2 2 wound ed. This announcement indicates that a new outbreak has taken place in South Africa, as the former uprising was re ported put down. MILLERANO IN CONFERENCE WITH KITCHENER IN LONDON London, Jan. 25.—>1. Millcrand, the French Secretary of War, returned to i France last evening after having spent several days in London in conference with Lord Kitchener, the British War Secretary, and other British Ministers. Before his departure >l. Millerand j sent to Lord Kitchener a letter, in which, referring to "the resolution ani mating his Majesty's government and the British people,'' he said: "1 could not before having seen it imagine the results in which it already has demonstrated itself under your en ergetic and skillful impulse. The con fidence of our two countries in the out come of the struggle which are carrying on in close agreement with our allies can but be increased thereby." GENERAL VON DER GOLTZ SHOT AT IN CONSTANTINOPLE London, Jan. 25.—A Cairo dispatch to the "Daily News 1 ' says: "An attempt on the life of Field i Marshal von der Goltz at •Constanti i no pie is reported from Jaffa through the medium of the German consulate I there. The marshal was fired at and is | believed to have been hit. Several of ficers were attacked at the same time. "Strained relations exist between the German and Turkish officers, and quarrels in public are not infrequent. In a cafe disturbance at Damascus re cently a captain of the Turkish army was killed and a, German colonel ■wounded.

GERMANS AND AUSTRIANS SUFFER LOSSESJS REPORT Petrograd, Jan, 25.—The following j official communication from the general staff of the Russian army was issued l last night. "On the right bank of the lower, | Vistula the day of January 23 passed I with important skirmishes taking place | on the front from the village of Bod zano to the Vistula. "On the left bank of the Vistula a | comparative lull prevailed, except in j the regiou of Bor.jimow and Goumine, j where the Hermans attempted at one j time iby an open offensive and then by |sa piping to approach our position. They were stopped by our lire and com ■ pelled to fall back with losses, j ''ln the Galicia on the front from , Jasliska to the southeast of the rail j road to Oujgorod aud Sambor the Aus trians January 22 and 23 attack was j particularly violent. In the regiou of Jasliska the enemy shelled oirr positions during the night. His force consisted ol; I more than a division of infantry which j was supported by some artillery. Wo inflicted on the enemy heavy losses and stopped his progress. "In Bukowina, in the vicinity of Valeipoutna, about 15 miles to the west of Kimpolunga, our advance guards j were engaged all through the dav of January 22 in an artillery duel 'with the Austrians.'' Britain Considers Food Rise London, Jan. 25.—The question of food supplies in the United Kingdom and the rise in prices is being consider ed bv a Cabinet committee presided over 'by Premier Asquith, according to a statement given out yesterday by the j official press bureau.

Swiss Ban on Certain Exports j Berne, Switzerland, via Paris, Jan. j 25, 5.4 0 A. M.—The federal council has adopted a decree prohibiting the j export ot chocolate, vinegar, manufac- I tured india rubber and electric cables. Swiss chocolate has been exported ill i large quantities, both to France and I 'Germany, that there is danger that I there will be none left for home con sumption. BITUMINOUS COAL OUTPUT Estimated by United States Geological Survey at 150 Million Tons Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.—The i war in Europe has apparently had lit- I tie influence on the production of coal. The production of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania for 1914, for in stance, is estimated by E. W. Parker of the I nited States Geological Survev, at 150,000,000 tons, compared with 173,781,217 tons in 1913. As the general depression in business, it is stated by the coal operators who have discussed the conditions 'which resulted in this decrease, had set in several months before the war broke out, and, as there does not appear to have been any further falling off afterward, (he question as to "what might have Ibeen" had peace continued is purely a matter of conjecture. In some districts the demand from railroad and manufacturing concerns is stated to have been substantially one third less during the last nine months of the year than in the corresponding period in 1913. The coking districts appear to have suffered most, for on ac count of the demoralized condition of the iron trade the production of coke was fully 30 per cent, less in 1914 than in the preceding year. There was some interruption to mining operations on April 1, when Ihe wage scale negotia tion were in progress, and severe drought in the Pittsburgh district com pelled a suspension of operations at some of the mines, but neither of these facts had anv noticeable effect on the industry as a whole. It is needless to say that there was no complaint of in adequate pupplieg of labor or transpor tation facilities. Old Steamboat Captain Dies Sunburv, Pa..
