They had peculiar way Of going
into bankruptcy among the Marawaris
in India. now unhappily giving way to
the less picturesque method Of the

pay his bills he would summon his
creditors. They were ushered into a
room In which the thakur, or house

up with cloth and with the face
turned to the wall in order that 1t
might not witness the scene that was

Quaint Sims In Peru.

An Indian custom which adds a pic
turesque touch to the roadsides be-
tween Cuzco and Machu Picchu, In
Peru, is the presence of quaint signs
indicating what is for sale in the In
dian huts. A small bunch of wheat or
barley tied on the end of a pole and
stuck out in front of the hut indicates
that there is chicha Ia native corn
beer) for sale within. A bunch of
flowers on the end Of a pole also has
the same significance. A green wreath
means that there is bread for sale,
while a piece Of white cloth or white
paper waving In the breeze indicates
that the wayfarer may here purchase

Court SCORES WOMAN
WHO SCOLDS AEGHDORS
Judge johnson Exacts Promise From
Defendant That She VIII Cease An
noying Those Nearby-Three Con
victed of Charges of Rioting

Judge Albert w. Johnson, of the
Union Snyder judicial district, specially
presiding In criminal court here this
week, had something to say about
scolding women" in court this morn
ing after Blanche Miller, a Middle
town woman, had been convicted of an
moving her neighbors.
The Judge said he is inclined to give
the woman another chance, but told her,
when she was called for sentence, that
she also must show a disposition to
change her mode of living. The wit
nesses included some of Mrs. Miller 3
neighbors, who said that they had been
much annoyed by her remarks.
The neighbors asked that the woman
be moved out of the neighborhood, and,
although Judge Johnson intimated the
suggestion was a good one, he urged
Mrs Miller to be peaeahle and no
longer annoy those living nearby. She
promised to do that.
Samuel Brandt, David B. Geibe and
Harry Shaeffer, three of six defend
ants indicted on riot charge, were
convicted. Sentence was deferred until
January, when, the Court said, mo-
tion for further suspension of SEN
tence will be entertained, providing the
defendants show a disposition to do
better. just before the noon adjourn
ment Robert Reed was placed on trial
on a charge OF attacking two little
boys. Judge Johnson directed that the
court room be cleared of all persons
save witnesses, court attaches and per-
sons directly interested in the case be-
fore the trial was begun The jury
took the case this afternoon.
Annie Petrovic was acquitted on n
charge of bigamy. Witnesses for the
prosecution were unable to identify the
defendant.
Indicted on serious charge under
the name of Ida Collard, Mrs. Enos l..
Hoffert, Harris street, was acquitted.
The prosecuting witness was Reading
woman who produced a marriage Ger.
tificate showing that she also is Mrs.
Enos l., Hoffert. The defendant was
described as wife No. 2. Hoffert for
merly was manager of the restaurant in
he Pennsylvania railroad passenger sta
tion. The police say he has been
among the missing since the suit was
lodged against wife No. 2.

Petrograd states that the fighting has
become less severe.
A German military critic estimates
that the Russian losses in killed,
wounded, prisoners and death from
sickness amount to fully 100000, or
one-third of the nations best troops.
In Galicia the situation is still con-
fused. Recent reports from Petrograd
that the Russians had invested Cracow
on three sides are now contradicted
by an unofficial dispatch which says the
invaders are eight miles from the city.
The Archbishop Of Prsezyml, the Ga
ician stronghold which has been under
siege for several weeks, Is quoted as
saying that the situation there is des-
perate and that the surrender of the
city impends.
. Germany's determination to prose
cute the war is reflected in the virtu-
ally unanimous vote of the Reichstag
for t war credit of ST $50, 600. 600
and in the Imperial Chancellor's decla-
rations that his country would fight to
the last breath.
Dispatches from Nish, the temporary
capital of Servia, CONFIRM Austrian re-

In France and Belgium the deadlock
remains unbroken. Although fightine
proceeds at various points there was
no indication that either side lad WOE

CHURCHES ASKED TO join
IN RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
Letter Is Addressed to All Ministers
of the Cit yRequesting Co-opera-
tion of Their Congregations in the
Sale of Christmas Seals

Cooperation of all the churches in
the city in the 1914 Red Cross Christ
mas seal campaign is urged upon min
listers in a personal letter which the
Rev. S. Winfield Herman, pastor of
Zion Lutheran church, and secretary
of the Harrisburg Ministerium has just
sent out to all his fellow pastors.
The letter calls attention to the
fact that next Sunday will be cele-
brated all over the country as "Tu-
berculosis Sunday" and that the
formal observance will precede the
opening of the seal sale which begins
Monday.
The pastors are requested to make
tuberculosis Day" the theme of
their sermons if possible, to make suit
able announcements from pulpit and
in the church bulletins, and to request
the help of all the officers and members
of the congregation. Should the church
desire representative from the gen
eral committee will be appointed to
discuss the campaign, what it means,
what it hopes to attain, before the con
gregation. The Rev. Mr.. Herman s let
ter ON the subject reads in part as fol-
lows:
again it becomes my privilege to
enlist your interest in behalf of the
annual campaign for the spread of in
formation concerning the white
Plague Last year the Harrisburg
churches, without exception, joined
hands in earnest propaganda of infor-
nation; sermons were preached; add
dresses delivered aud circulars distrib-
uted. Our indebtedness to the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis, the State Board
of Hath and all the local officials is
great and we owe our best cooperation
in effective effort to eliminate this
dreadful plague.
"The committee viii appoint a rep
resentative to appear before your
church, if you desire it. Some of the
most effective work last year was done
by regularly appointed representatives
of the Christmas Seal Committee in the
local churches or societies. Last year
you kindly assisted in distributing cir
culars and we ask for your co o-operation
again. The fight against this disease
is long and hard one but it can be
won. We count upon you to kelp to
the extent of your ability and oppor-
tuniF."

duke Frederick, commander of the Aus
tro-Hungarian army.
For the first time since-the Germans
were checked in their advance on War
saw, 1t was possible to-day to gain a
fairly clear idea of the military situa-
tion in Russian Poland in its broader
aspect. Advices from both Berlin and
Petrograd indicated that the Germans
had definitely succeeded In throwing
back the enveloping Russian forces,
and were maintaining stohdly their po-
sitions west of Lowicz. Furthermore, it
is said the Germans are again under
taking AN energetic offensive.
The completeness of change in the
situation, ascribed variously to the
failure Of the Russian General Rennen-
kampff to close up the ring about the
Germans and to the brilliant strategy
of the German leaders, is indicated by
a report telegraphed from Petrograd
by an English correspondent who pre-
viousiy had announced that the Rus
slams had won an overwhelming vic
tory. He now states that the Germans
are holding their positions and that the
situation remains extremely interest
ing and hazardous.

Gloves of VarniSh

Skin varnish completely covering the
hands is used by some surgeons instead
of rubber gloves during surgical opera
tions. So cleverly is the varnish made
that it cannot be washed off with wa.
ter or any liquid likely to be met in the
course of an operation; nor can it be
scraped off except by scraping off the
skin itself, and yet it is about as pliable
as very thin rubber. The purpose in
using it instead of rubber gloves is to
preserve the sensitiveness of the touch
and make it easier TO handle materials
such as catgut. The varnish looks like
honey. 1t is rubbed ON the hands after
they have been washed as thoroughly
as possible, and quickly dries. To re.
move it the hands are washed in an
other chemical Saturday

Phoned to Star-Independent
After l had talked to the Star-Inde-

wire that I was about to receive a pres
ent of IS gold piece. He told me to
turn to one side and "to be sure to
catch it when he dropped it into the
tank.
That clinched the argument. I was
then convinced that the Divers life is

catch it before it landed, but, try as
I did, ] could not do 1T on account of

movements. To my sorrow, the money
landed on the bottom about five feet
in front of me.

SAY CONDITIONS
ARE IMPROVING
Report, Prepared by John Hays Ham,
mond, States Situation Confronts
Country That Will Demand Extra
ordinary Philanthropic Efforts

New York. Dec. 3.-The results of
the comprehensive study of the effects
of the European war on business
throughout the United States. gained
from the reports received from more
than 600 correspondents, including Gov
ernors, Mayors, officials of unions, in
dustrial organizations, banks and build
ing associations, will be made known in
a report at the fifteenth annual meeting
of the National Civic Federation which
begins here tomorrow. The report
says that conditions are improving and
predicts that a further advance toward
prosperity will be witnessed during the
next few months.
The report was prepared by John
Hays Hammond, chairman of the COM
mittee which handled the investigation
and strikes gloomy note in speaking
of the unemployed. 1t states that the
country will be confronted this winter
"by a situation which will demand ex-
traordinary philant'hropic efforts"
''The great savings institutions of
New York City report that business is
now altogether normal" the report
says. "In Philadelphia and even in
i''S"ui Sh' uesPile thc seNeflty ol Vhe
depression in the iron and steel trade,
the deposits of the largest savings
banks have during tine last month ex-
ceeded Withdrawals. -
Certain lines of trade have been stim-
ulated because of orders placed by for
eign nations, but the purchase of sup
plies by belligerent nations satisfies
but slight fraction of the American
business world,' the report states.
''The last few weeks" says the re-
port, "have brought about little con
valescence even in those industries
which seemed wholly crippled"
The problem of unemployment and
other financial and industrial questions
arising out of the war conditions will
be considered at the meeting.
