RAILROADS
UNDERGROUND WIRES
NEW P. R. R. PLAN
New York Division Will Get I'm.
provement First; Means
Large Expenditure

With view to preventing future
trouble, similar to that experienced by
the Pennsylvania railroad during the
blizzard one week ago, the board of
directors yesterday authorized an ex-
penditure of S1,000,000 for an under
ground wire system on the New York
division; and gave notice that similar
improvements would be made in the
near future on the main line, start
ing with the Philadelphia division.
The order of yesterday covers a
stretch of roadbed twenty-five miles
in length between Trenton and Rah-
way, n. j., where many wires were
blown down during the blizzard, and
the worst trouble was experienced.
Following the completion of the New
York division improvement it is said
work will start on an underground
system on the Philadelphia division
near the Gap, and at Dillerville juno
ton, where there are many tracks,
switches and surface wires.
The directors, at their meeting yes
terday, decided upon this step, which
will be an innovation in railroad con-
Struction here or abroad.
The operating department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company be-
lieves that If the trains and snow
plows can be kept in constant move
ment no fall of snow that ever has
been experienced in this section could
block the tracks. The trouble in last
weeks storm, and on similar occasions
in the past, the operating officials say,
was due entirely to the fact that the
frequent stops of plows and trains,
made for safety's sake after the dis
patching and signal apparatus was
disabled, permitted time for impass-
able drifts to accumulate.

cheerful prophecy often gave the pa

no longer good form. Doctors still
cure malaria and a few other
troubles in which their medicines have
direct or specific action on the
virus of the disease. In other cases
they simply give supporting medicine
and keep up the strength of the pa
tient until nature effects a cure.

rosis and other trouble due to thin

ton on the blood, building 1t up. puri-
flying and enriching 1t. This direct
action on the blood also makes them

medicine. If you are thin and weak.

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way Is to
Dissolve 1t

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t. then you
destroy 1t entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in emily with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning
most If not all of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy. every single sign and
trace of 1t, no mater how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes 1t fall out, but 1t makes
it stringy, straggly. dull, dry, brit
tie and lifeless, and everyone notices
it. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adver-

Corsets You Must Lie

Wiggle Into Them
Special to The Telegrnhh

Philadelphia, March IL. - DR.. Maude
l.. Dunn, the lecturer on eugenics, after
shooing all the men out of Witherspoon
Hall yesterday told an audience of wo-
men about the evils of tight corsets.
you can't be a smiling sunshine in
your home when your corset presses
against you," DR.. Dunn told the several
hundred women. Husbands are Just

and If they don't get 1t at home they
will go elsewhere-and your worst
enemy will be the woman who hasn't
any pressing corset"
DIR. Dunn wasn't absolutely against
corsets. But she wants them loose
She suggested that the one way to
ascertain If a corset is just about right
is to take physical culture exercises
while wearing one. She also said there
was but one way to put on a corset,
and wiggling the toes in the air.
The expert prophesied a race of slant
shouldered, big hipped women If the
tango and the debutante slouch are in
dulged in excessively. She said the
body Is the temple of the soul and
should be treated that way, and that
the perfect body is s feet inches in

NEW TRIAL FOR CLAY,

Case Must Be Retired, Superior
Court Decides in Opinion
Today

A new trial was awarded Henry
Clay, former director of public safety
of Philadelphia, John r. Virgins and

spiracy to defraud the city In contracts
for buildings, by the Superior Court
to-day. Judge William d. Porter wrote
the opinion, Judge George B. Orlady
films a concurring opinion and Judge
John Head fling a dissenting opinion.
in which President Judge Charles E.
Rice Joined.
The opinion was given at the close
of the session of the Superior Court
in this city and is one of the most
voluminous handed down in many
months. The appeal was from the de-
cision of Judge c. b. Staples, of Mon
roe county. specially presiding, refus-
ing q new trial, and the opinion says,
in part: "The most fragrant instance
OF imposition on the city disclosed by
the evidence arose out of the manner
in which the contracts for the erec-
ton of the police station, fire station
and garage at Third and Race streets
were manipulated"
Then follows review Of the evil
denCe presented at the trial on this
contract, with exhaustive review of
testimony about others, and 1t is stated
that the facts as to all contracts were
fully and fairly stated by Judge Sta
pies. Then the opinion says: "The
testimony clearly established that the
amounts paid to Virgins & Co. and
received by Mr.. Virgins and Mrs.
Walls as officers of that corporation
upon each of these contracts were
grossly excessive" The Sanderson
and Snyder cases in the Capitol series
are cited in the discussion of the con-
spiracy trial, the opinion saying fur
ther: "The charge of the court to the
jury in the present case was in most
particulars correct and many of the
assignments of error are without
merit. When, however, the learned
judge proceeded to instruct the jury as
to the legal principles applicable, un-
der the evidence, to each of the indi-
vidual defendants, respectively, he
failed to discriminate between the
functions of the court and those of the
jury and thus fell into error" @
