A New, Harmless Way
to Banish Hairy Growths
(Beauty Topics)
By following this suggestion any
woman can, in the privacy of her own
home, remove every trace of hair or fuzz
from her face: With powdered dela
tone and water mix enough paste to
cover the not wanted hairs; apply and
in 2 or 3 minutes rub off and wash the
skin. This method is unfailing, harm
less and quick in results, but care should
be employed to get the genuine dela
tone. —Adv.

Department of Commerce Discover '
Abundance of Halibut Off Coasts
of Washington and Oregon
Washington, 1"). C., March 26.
During the summer of 1914 the Dc- j
partment of Commerce, through the
Bureau of Fisheries, conducted an ex- j
ploration of certain libiierv grounds ,
off the counts of Oregon and Washing- j
ion to determine, particularly, if hali- \
but were present in sufficient quan- |
tjties to support a fishery. The fishery j
steamer Albatross was used for this
survey. The survey covered, as well as j
time permitted, the area inshore of the J
10-0-fathoni curve, from .just north ot'j
<!rays Harbor, Wash., nearly to Oape !
Blanco, Ore.
A halibut ground of some value was |
found off Newport, Ore., covering an
area of approximately 2£o square
miles. The run of fish on this bank
reaches its maximum in August and j
September, but apparently l is of com
mercial importance as early as June, \
and probably some halibut could be
taken in the latter part of April. As
nu immediate result of the Albatross j
findings, fishermen made 21. tri |»s to j
the ground, taking about 850,000 ;
pounds of halibut, valued at about i
324,000. Trips yielding 40,000 pounds !
were made in four days or less. Irre- j
speetive of the abundance of fish, j
weather conditions and the lack of
harbors will inhibit fishing excepting ]
from April to October. Several small- i
er are:us oil' Grays Harbor and Coos i
bay may be expected to produce hali
but in limited numbers; and the en- I
tire coast of Oregon was found to 1
abound in flounders, soles, rock cod 1
and black cod—a valuable food sup- 1
ply when market conditions warrant
its exploitation. /
The report on the
with charts, will soon be issued and i
may be obtained on application to the I
Bureau of Fisheries. Washington.
LECTURED ON TELEPHONE
S. B. Watts Addressed Business Meu of
Newport Last Night
S. B. Watts, local manager of the j
Bell Telephone Company of Penusylva- !
uia, delivered an illustrated lecture' last '
evening before the Men's Business As
sociation of Newport, his subject being
"The Growth of a Great -Modem Util
ity."
Mr. Watts delivered a lecture several
weeks ago on "The Telephone Girl"
before this ,ame organization and they
were so well pleased »hat they request- !
ed a return engagement. The audience,
which taxed the capacity of the hall,'
demonstrated the popularity of these f
lectures on the science of telephony. I
Mr. Watts dealt principally with the !
history of the telephone from the date I
of invention down to the present time,
with its modern appliances which make I
possible a conversation from ocean to I
ocean. Kxcellent slides were shown of
the Harrisburg exchange, outside eon-1
Btruction in the Harrisburg district and i
Various scenes in connection with the j
ihstallation of telephones and the estab-
Mshment of service. A brief history j
was given of the men who have been ■
responsible in a great measure for-the j
rapid growth of this modern utility, all J
Of whom are living to-day.
That which was especially interest- '
ing to the- audience was to learn the |
manner in which repairs are made to ;
lines on which trouble has occurred, i
The use of motor trucks has greatly fa
cilitated these repairs, which are made
promptly, regardless of weather condi
tions and the distance trouble may be
from an exchange.
But Do They?
- Mrs. Bacon—l see it is stated that
the average length of life rose from
twenty ami one-quarter years in the
sixteenth century to forty and one-half
years in the nineteenth century.
Mr. Bacon—l suppose the latter thn°
ifas when the women began telling the\
truth about their aiges.—Yonkers

Thus did Jacob 11. SchifT, financier
of New York, who arrived here yester
day, indicate one of the benefits be
stowed upon this country by the Euro
pean conflict.
"We have become stronger since
I t'he great conflict broke out,'' he said,
I '' because we have had opportunities to J
' purchase many of our securities from
| the European holders. The war, I be- |
I lieve, will end in the autumn, but not I
j because of an exhaustion of the bellig

USING- SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR
j j Soap should be used very sparing- J
j lv, if at all, if you want to keep I
j your hair looking its best. Most j
| soaps and prepared shampoos con-
II tain too much alkali. This dries the J
| ! scalp, makes the hair brittle, and j
I i ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is j
j j just drdiuary inulsified cocoanut oil
|i (which is pure and greaseless), is 1
; cheaper and better than soap or anV
II thing else you can use.
j | One or two teaspoonfuls will \
11 cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
j abundance of rich, creamy lather,
! which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
> ounces will supply every member of
the family for months.

FIRM SOLD 500 AUTO TRUCKS
International Company's Sales In
crease So Much That New Depart
ment Is Opened in This District
More than five hundred Interna
tional motor trucks are used in the
Harrisburg general agency district
aud the increasing demand for these
trucks, together with models "M"
and "E" added, necessitated the es
tablishment of the new department
known as the International motor
truck department at 619 Walnut
stroot, in charge of C. J. Stevens.
Business firms now recognize the
fact that without now trade thoir
business will decline and horse drawn
delivery will limit a firm to a restrict
ed territory, while a motor truck per
mits a large expansion of trude, and
the International are constantly plac
ing motor trucks with progressive
firms who are serving customers
throughout the cities and suburban
towns, which trade would bo other
wise lost.
The smaller firms formerly held to
the idea that the motor truck was
only practical for the larger concerns,
but t-hcy liiave now broadened their
views, lost that business timidity, and
are purchasing as a matter of
economy and expansion of trade.
The responsibility of the manufac
turer, the service facilities of the sell
ing department and the figures on
which are based the claims for econ
omy are regarded to-day as the most
vital considerations by" the purchas
ers.
Many owners of International mo
tor trucks report their experience in
penetrating extreme conditions of
roads such as deep mud, heavy snow
drifts, such as are considered" almost
impassible for horse service. Instances
of this nature only remind tho pros
pective buyer of the fact that the
International motor trucks are thor
oughly reliable for twelve months
service each year, regardless of weath
er or road conditions.
The mauy up-to-date features of
the new 1915 models of International
motor trucks are both interesting and
pleasing to the many visitors and
prospective purchasers now calling at
the International motor trucks depart
ment in their snow white and well
furnished display rooms at 619 Wal

that will always keep it fresh and fas
cinating.
Another thing that tends to pormit
the play holding its popularity is the
fact that in it Miss Adams has one of
the most charming and diverting roles
that has ever been given her. It is a
quaint, lovable, eerie little lady that
she presents as Phoebo Throssell, trim
and just as Puritanical as the little vil
lage in which she lived in the long ago.
But Phoebo had a heart and she lost it
to Valentine Brown. Barrie pictures
their love as a garden. In the first act
he shows one glimpse of the garden;
in the second one sees how the garden
grew; in the third a woed attacks the
garden and in the fourth it is shown
how the flowers drove the weed' from
the garden. Of course, Miss Adafns
will be seen as Phoebe Throssell. In
the supporting company are Charles
Hammond, Morten Selten, Fred Tyler,
Stafford Windsor, Willard Barton, Wal
lace Jackson, Angela Ogden, Elise Clar
eus, Leonora Chippendale, Sarah Con
verse and Byrd Rodgers.—Adv. *

tremendously successful melodrama,
which ran for an entire season at the
Eltinge Theatre, New York City, will

four-act play which made the fame of
its author in a single night tells an ab
sorbing story of modern conditions in
New York life, and has received the
public endorsement not only of the
President, but of prominent men and
women identified with literature, art,
politics and the Tlrama. Among those
who have lent their names as a guaran
tee of the worth-while qualities of Mr.
Veiller's up-to-date play, may be men
tioned besides Woodrow Wilson, Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. O. H. P.
Belmont, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
the suffrage leader; Julius Harburger,
Sheriff of New York county; David Be
lasco, the great theatrical producer;

sioner, of New York, and every dra

"If you don't thrill, you should, if
you are of the right sort, you will."
Clara Joel will be seen as Mary Turn
er, the shop girl heroine of the play.—

At the Orpheum
Because of the fact that the Orphe
um's present season is rapidly slipping
away, one of the best vaudeville offer
ings of the year is holding forth there
this week. This season, as in former
seasons, it has been the aim of the
management to wind up the vaudeville
term in a very excellent manner, mak
ing the last shows the best shows, so
that vaudeville appetite will be kept
in splendid tone all during the heated
term. This year accordingly is no ex
ception to the rule. The ideal works
out beautifully in the current offering,
which vaudeville patrons on every
hand are declaring to be one of the sea
son's choicest.
Next week we are to see the fa
mous actress, Henrietta Crosman, star
ring in a wonderful drama entitled
"Thou Shalt Not Kill." Miss Cros
man will be supported by a noteworthy
array of big Keith names. For tho
next couple weeks lieadliners, just as
interesting, are promised. So the slo
gan to vaudeville fans to-day, is get in
line and see this week's show at the Or
pheuin, and don't miss any nf the last
few that are to follow. For the man
agement promises these last few weeks
to be the cream of tho season. It will
be interesting to note that the Eight
Royal Dragoons, that Ralph Dunbar
presents this week as the headline at
traction, also sent the Nine Royal Hus
sars to the Orpheum last year as the
! headliner of the season's last bill.
There is a striking similarity between
' these two acts and' last year the Ilus-
Isars were widely discussed as being tho
; best headline attraction of the season.
There's a corking layout of Koith acts
: supporting this one at the Orpheum
! this week. —Adv. *
At the Colonial
The Six Musical Gormans, monar hs
of melody and song, are the crowning
| attraction of a splendid Keith show
that went on view for the first time at
| the Colonial yesterday. Three young
women and as many men comprise the
company and along with pleasing per
sonalities, they present a musical turn
that will please every lover of music,
!no mutter whnt variety, for the eom-
I pany plays from ragtime to classic, and
stops at all the way stations. Gordon
and Marx, the German language twist
ers, are also at the "Busy Corner"
these days. These popular comedians
proved to be one big scream at the Or
pheum several seasons ago and at the
Colonial audiences are laughing them
selves tired at their new line of fun.
Porter and Sullivan, in a comedy va
riety skit, and Albert and Irving in
songs and dances, add two other very
