AT THE CnI.nNIAI.

Time and again fine moving picture
features have been exhibited in the
local theaters. but seldom have they
come protected by a bodyguard as
strong and ferocious as a fighting In
dian. Whether this is an indication of
the merits OF the picture remains to be
seen, but to-day it is known positively
that Standing Eagle, chief of the Indian
tribe seen in the movie" entitled THE
Call of the North" travels with the pic
ture in each town it appears.
Standing Eagle is chief of tribe of
portant part in The Call of the North"
the Jesse l.. Lasky feature that comes
to the Colonial to-day. This is no less
than the same Mr.. Lasky who sent the
many girl musical comedy attractions
to the Orpheum in the past, and who
is now directing a good deal of his at
tention to screen" plays. The Call of
the North" is his first feature to ap-
pear in Harrisburg. 1t is in five parts,
and calls in the efforts of Robert Edeson,
the well-known romantic actor. who is
not only popular locally, but who won
many friends in this same play in Har-
risburg some years ago, when the Or
pheum Theater was still called the
Lyceum.
THE Call of the North" will be at
the Colonial during the first three
days of this week and Standing Eagle
will remain in town as long as the pic
ture does. He will be seen about the
streets. and a close view of him will
convince one that he is a real Ameri-
can Indian.-Advertisem

Shooting Corn Pains
Fade In An Hour

Think of the marvel of 1t, that
stinging, burning pain made to go like
magic. That's how Putnam's Extrac-
tor works. It's made to go right for
corns, to. root them out, to destroy
their pain, to keep callouses, sore foot
humps and the like off the human foot.
No remedy quicker. safer. or so pain

play, entitled "Neptune's Daughter"
Miss Kellerman, who heretofore has
confined her activities to vaudeville and
musical productions. recently spent
three months on the Island of Bermuda
by Captain Leslie T. Peacocke This
play was written especially to exploit

atavistic cry of the kill" from the
| throats of the quintet of tanned"
| lions Gagged with the prey, and set in
quick motion the heart of George Nc
Cord, a trainer standing at the steps
of the car, who had heard the cry in
! the jungle and knew what it meant.
When McCord reached the door of
the arena cage armed with pitch
fork he had picked up. he found it
| locked against him. Trilby, the old
| lioness, her hide striped with blood
and her jaws apage, stood beside the
| bleeding form of DIETRICH trying to
| fend off the determined attack of the
| blood mad beasts, DIETRICH was lying
on his side, huddled up to ward off as
long as possible the impending fate.
So quickly did the bloodthirsty ami
mails paw their victim to death, says
| McCord, that it had seemed to him but
a moment between the time DIETRICH
had been heard saying: Here Teddy,
get down Teddy; lie down Mutt" and
then the last cry for help from the
overpowered man.
MY God, McCord, my Cod get the
| fork! I'm gone, I'm gone! Teddy.
Teddy, Mutt, Mutt" he finally uttered
family.
When help arrived the lions were
| snarling over their prey. One nibbled
with blood -moistened fangs at the foot
of the victim; another was tugging at
an arm; a third was ripping asunder
the left breast of DIETRICH, while the
others were sparring for better posi-
| tions to find their share of the meal

Bad Housing Expensive
DIR. Mullowney declared that bad
housing was an economical blunder
and that many nuisances and un-
sanitary conditions that are allowed to
exist within the confines of a city or
town cost each citizen some risk of
moral or physical health and every
taxpayer some money. With science
proving the close relationship be-
tween dirt and disease, said he, it is
obvious that bad housing constitutes
burden as well as a menace which
should enlist the active support of the
general public. He declared further
that small as well as large cities are
beginning to understand that bad
no sing is the root of many evils, and
that 1t is not confined to rows of tall
tenement houses, but may exist as
far as living conditions are concerned,
in districts containing only small de-
tached houses.
Figures showing the result of the
sanitary dwellings, erected in Liverpool
indicate that after sanitary dwellings
had been provided the death rate de-
creased from so per 1000 to 27;
that tuberculosis decline from per
cent to 1.9 per cent that in 1896
there were 1900 cases of typhoid
fever and in 1911 there were 200;
that the cash saving to the city was
at least $325,000 per year or double
the cost of rehousing work.
Bureau of Housing
These figures and the results of the
work of the department in all parts of
the state have inspired DR.. Dixon to
push forward for the housing pro-
position and to be ready to present
to the next Legislature a clear state
ment, under the act of 1918, approved
by Governor Tener. providing for
bureau of housing which will have to
do with the sanitary oversight of
boarding, tenement and lodF'~o
houses.
This is only one feature of the great
work for the welfare of the people
which has been going forward under
Republican administration which the
Democratic candidate for Governor
has utterly failed to appreciate.
Richard B. Watrous, secretary of
the American Civic Association spent
last summer in Europe and has lust
issued a booklet of his personal OBJ
servations of housing developments
abroad. He illustrates in his pamph-
let the garden cities of Europe and
the great improvement in the housing
conditions of the large industrial CEN
ters of the old world.
