At the Orpheum

Two of the cleverest girlies that
have been seen at the Orpheum for a
long time, even recalling the Courtney
Sisters and the Farber Girls, are Irene
and Bobbie Smith, appearing on the
current show at the Orpheum. In fact
it is only fair to say that the Smith
Sisters win a more solid hit than did
either of these other two clever girl
teams. One of the Smith sisters is of
the dainty type and aside from look
ing very winsome is a clever pianist
and the possessor of an unusual voice.
One of her best hits is her rendition of
''Virginia Lee" which she sings in
exquisite voice and fetching Colonial
costume. But the other sister is dy
namo of personality. She just radiates
vim and good cheer, and with it all she
is indeed comical. The interesting fea-
ture about her comedy ability is that
she at no time becomes coarse or vul-
gar, but her fun seems to be only an
outburst Of youth and mischief. The
gowns worn by the girls are indeed in
teresting and at each performance they
are walking away with tumultous ap-
plause. The Smith sisters offer one of
the very interesting Keith hits sup
porting Lou Anger and Sophye Barn
ard and company in their gigantic
musical comedy called "Safety First"
The Orpheum bill is brim full of gen.
uine talent and is pleasing the most
fastidious.-Adv.*

Enthusiastic Audience at the Victoria

Never before this week have the
people of Harrisburg and-vicinity had
an opportunity to enjoy such high-class
music rendered during the presentation
of moving pictures by Professors Nal
lott and Johnson, of the Victoria the
atre, on their new $4,000 lHope-Jones
unit pipe organ orchestra. To see mo-
ton pictures in theatre wherein ev-
cry action of the picture is given its
proper tone expression is one of the
modern wonders. For example, if an
automobile is seen approaching one
hears the honk, honk of the horn, when
one sees birds just that same instant
one hears their twittering correctly
duplicated by this wonderful musical
instrument, or if horses are shown one
instantly hears their tap, tap, as though
they were directly in front of the thea
re; thus does this $25, 900 pipe organ,
which is appropriately termed the pipe
organ with the human voice, add to tile
life and realism of the silent plays as
presented at the Victoria only. Adv.*

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail

His daughter then marries man for

l6-INCH GUNS FOR U. s. SHIPS
Greatest Naval Rifle Ever Used Prom
Use Much In Tests

Use Much In Tests
Washington, March 19.-The two
battleships provided for in the current
naval bill may be armed with 16-inch
rifles, the heaviest naval guns ever
designated.
While tentative plans for the new
ships contemplate vessels similar in
general design to the 80, 2,00O-t tom vessels
of the California class now building,
details of armament ana engine equip
ment are being given unusual atten-
tlon by navy designers and the results
obtained from the 15-inch main bat.
teries of the newest British and Ger
man battleships are being closely
watched.
Already the new 16-inch navy gun
has been subjected to tests at the In
dian Head proving gfound, and while
details of its construction and perform
anee are closely guarded, 1t is known
that the gigantic weapon has given
proof of it's efficiency which delighted
navy ordnance experts. The gun was
built at the American naval gun fac
tory.
Some idea of the probable size of
the new American gun may be gather
ed from the fact that each of the
eight I5-inch guns of the British bat
tleshlp Queen Elizabeth weighs SO
tons, while similar rifles, designed in
the Krupp works for German battle
ships, each weigh more than 80 tons.
The 14-inch rifles of the battleships
New York and Texas weigh 63.3 tons
each, and it is certain that the new
l6-inch weapon weighs more than 100
tons, without it's mounting.

TEST IMMATURE WIRELESS
Can Be Carried in Hand Satchel and
Operated From Auto


New York, March ia wireless
telegraph instrument weighing eight
pounds that can be carried in a hand
satchel and operated from an automo-
bile, was tested by officers of the Unit
ed States signal corps on Bedloes Is
land yesterday. The instrument was
connected with the antennae~ of the
wireless station on the island and sent
a message which was received at Fort
Hancock on Sandy Hook, II miles
away.
IT is claimed that the instrument
can send messages 1000 feet or more
without antennae and that it would be
valuable in trench warfare. The ex-
treme radius of the operation is said
to be 800 miles. NJ. B. Dilley, master
signal electrician who observed the
test, said that the wireless machine
could be operated with the electricity
from an automobile battery.

here on Wednesday evening, was laid
peacefully to rest at the |. 0. 0. f.
cemetery on Saturday afternoon. A
large gathering of the friends of Mr..
Riser and his family attended the
services held over the remains at the
Evangelical church, of which he had
long been a member, and many of
these were in the sad procession
which accompanied the body to its
final resting place. The services at
the church were conducted by the
Rev. Mr.. Erskine, assisted by the
Rev. Mr.. Gates. Mr.. Riser spent
many of the most fruitful years of
his life in this community and his
friends are numbered by the hundreds
in all parts of the county. He was
prominently identified with the affairs
of the city and had at all times an
active interest in the welfare of the
community which was his home. He
was a member of the local lodge Of
Odd Fellows and was popular as a
business man. With deep grief Dal-
las sees the passing of so fine man.
