Patterson, of Lewistown, Pa., who recently completed an 8.000-mile drive from New York to Seattle, Wash., and to San Francisco, followed the Lincoln Highway for much of the way as far as Denver and, ac cording to a recent statement, were par ticularly impressed with the condition of the roads in lowa. Patterson said, "lowa is certainly to be congratulated on her good roads, and the best part of it is that no great amount of money has been spent on them. Their good roads are mostly due to co-operation and to intelligent work. After every rain the roads are gone over with a drag and it is certainly remarkable the good that does." Ten military automobiles are in the process of construction by the students of the Northwestern Military and Naval Academy at Lake Geneva, Wis., and some time in June or July these cars, driven by students and accompanied by officers of the United States Army, wiil follow the Lincoln Highway from Chi cago to the Pacific coast. The tour is a most important one as its purpose is to demonstrate to the government the utility of this type of gasoline vehicle. The cars include two wireless, one field kitchen, one ambulance and field hospital combined, one officers' recon noissanee car, one car for the trans portation of light field artillery, one armored car. two balloon destroyers, and one engineers' car. lowest prices and on short notice.

It does not require a great deal of i thought to realize that such a course j jean have only one result, namely, to! i make a performance teu times better,; more finished and in every way su-j : perior than would be possible when n j half dozen operas are i!«ne. —Adv. * "Under Cover " The United States Secret Service is the latest theme for a play, and Roi[ Cooper Megrue has taken the opera- j tions of the detective bureau as the ba j ! sis for "Under Cover," the dramatic i sensation of the year in New York and I Chicago. "Under Cover" deals with ! the smuggling of a $200,000 pearl | , necklace and the effort of the secret! 'service to trace the smugglers. "Under J Cover"' is a play of thrills: primarily,! iit is melodrama, and yet it does not ; over emphasize some phases of the se j cret service work. So emphatic lias j : been the success of the play that it has, ; alre& IV passed its two hundredth per-; j formance in New York and Chicago, j Selwvn & Co., who gave "Within the !Law" to the stage, will present their j latest stu'eess, "Under Cover," at the: ; Majestic Wednesday matinee and night; j and they have taken particular care in ' I the selection sase it is the ensemble playing rather, 1 than individual work which counts, for j i the story itself is the entertaining fea i ture at the attraction. —Adv. * "When Dreams Come True" From time to time during the past ' j theatrical season, stories have come to | the newspapers regarding the success- j jful engagement played by "When! ,! Dreams Come Tme" In New lork, Chi i cago and Boston. 11 Our local theatregoers who have no , doubt read these stories, will now have an opportunity of seeing this widely 11 discussed musical comedy when it \ comes to the Majestic Thursday after noon and night. | The scenic investiture of the play is ! elaborate to the last degree. One i scene especially the ballroom in the last | act representing the highest- degree of 'the scene painters' art. This scene is ! painted on silk aud the woodwork is of I Circassian walnut. There are nearly a j score of dancing numbers most oif them invented by Mr. Santlev and iu nearly , all of which he participates. A chorus 1 composed largely m pretty girls who I can sing, dance and wear gowns is a ■ feature of the performance. The costumes shown in "When Dreams Come True" are exceptionally brilliant and represent the last word iu | the fall fashions. —Adv. * Smart Gowns for Carlisle Elks A great deal of local interest is be i iug taken in the forth-coming produc tion at the Majestic Theatre otf a plav ' written, staged an 1 presented by mem ! bers of the Carlisle Elks' Theatrical [ Association. Following the presentation ' i of their new play iu their home Opera i House, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day of next weik. the Carlisle Elks | will come to Harrisburg and give their ' show at the Majestic Theatre. Friday ' and Saturday with a Saturday matinee. ! Hundreds of tickets have already been ! sold by the local Elks, whose Social j Committee is responsible for bringing . this Carlisle aggregation to Harris burg. Persons who saw the show giveu by j the Carlisle Elks at the Majestic last I year, can vouch that these amateur | players leave nothing undone that ' might make for success in their the ] atrical undertaking. No professional i companies ever display more startling i gowns than those worn by the female ! impersonators in this company, ami Ralph Harris, the official eostumer for the Association, has outdone all pre vious efforts in this year's creations. Smart dressers among the ladies of Hnrrisburg will do well to look at this display at' Hnery, as it will contain many hints for their new apparel.— Adv. • At the Orpheum "Safety First" is the of vaudeville's finest one-act musical com edy, that is expected to establish new attendance records at the Orpheum next, week.

The opening performances were also witnessed by a number of the most im portant vaudeville managers and there are reasons to believe from the glowing reports they carried back to New York City with them, that it will rank with , the biggest anil best in the way of a musical come.ly that was ever produced, i Another instance of its popularity is ! proved in the fact that the vaudeville 1 magnates immediately negotiated for New York engagements of the act. It I will go from Harrisburg direct to the j j Palaee Theatre in New York City, the largest and most important of' the: i Metropolitan vaudeville theatres. After i ; its engagement at the Palace it is slat led to appear at all of New York's lead- j ing vaudeville theatres. "Safety First" will be supported bv a splendid bill of j KeiUi hits.—Adv. J At the Colonial Amusement seekers are indeed hard [to please if they can't find very pleas j ing entertainment in the array of I Keith acts that plav their closing en gagements at the "Busy Corner" to ! day. There are the Sig Franz Troupe, I for instance, who keep their audi ■ ences in tumultous laughter every min ute. They inject all sorts of comedy and ride all varieties of crazy wheels. A clever comedy sketch, good char acter comedians and singers, anil two novelty entertainers help make the bill a_ very pleasing one. Five Kotnical : Kops, a great comedy novelty with ape vial scenery, will be the extra feature j of the bill that will be inaugurated at the Colonial during the first half of next week, while "The Song Doctors," a miniature musical comedy, will hold forth during the last half.—Adv. * At the Photoplay That funny guy, Charlie Chaplin, re turns to-day to' the Photoplay in a two reel Essanay feature, "The Cham pion," and it is the greatest knockout since joining the Essanay forces.
