follow these simple instructions:
When hairy growths appear, apply a

water with powdered delatone. Apply
this to hairy surface and after or 3

the hairs are gone. This is a harm
less treatment, but be sure you get

MUSIC SEASON
IN EARLY START
Orchestra's Programs, Operatic
Announcements and Conserv-
atory Notes of Interest to
Music Lovers

The fun announcement Of programs
for the Philadelphia Orchestra's season
has been made. Those who would rather
keep. their forthcoming pleasures more
or less behind a cloud will do well not
to consult the list. 1t is full of good
things, introduces much that is new to
Philadelphia, and leaves out a few things
which cannot be left out without regret.
The greatest satisfaction comes from
the announcement that on the 24th and
25th of March the Orchestra will play
Cesar Franck's Symphony in D. 1t is
not novelty, but it will never be a
BROMIDE neither will II ever challenge
the popularity Of the Pathetique (Which
is not to be played this year..
Beethoven's Fifth, Sixth and Seventh;
Tschaikowsky's Fourth and Fifth;
Brahms First, Second and Third; Schu-
manns First and Second; Schubert's
Eighth, and Sibelius' First are in the
ties of schoenberg (kammer-Symphonie)
Daniel Gregory Mason Qn c minor, and
the great Mailer No s.
The Metropolitan Opera Company's
plans for Philadelphia are as vague as
they have ever been. II is assumed that
there will be Ia performances, followed by
a week of the Imperial Russian Ballet
under Sergei Diarghilew. The season
tickets for Is performances will admit to
performances. Such, at least, was the
original announcement of intentions. The
leaders Of the ballet corps are Nijinsky
and Karsavina. The Metropolitan, 1t is
said, is to produce, for the first time in
America, Borodne's prince Igor" The
Metropolitan, it was said last year, was
to produce the same opera. Last season
Philadelphia treated novelties with a GER
tain amount of respect, not too affection
ately, but not too coldly. prince Igor"
will be much expected.
The Behren's Opera Club announces, as
its first production of the year. Lortzing's
Gear und Zimmerman" or as they call
it, Gear and Carpenter" There seems
very little likelihood that major organi-
cations will soon reproduce this work, so
its production by an amateur group is
decidedly welcome Light OPERA profess
sionally played, will make its second ap-
pearance in this city with THE Lilac
Domino" on the 9th of September.
More distantly related to music, yet
within hailing distance, is the series OF
Lectures for Young People, announced
for the Little Theatre. This year the
lectures, which will be illustrated by
prominent musicians, will not be deliv-
cred by one lecturer, but by a number of
specialists. First of these will be Leopold
stokowski, on THE Symphony Orchestra
and Its Instruments" Miss Leonard will
later in the season, repeat, by request, her
lecture on Absolute, operate and Pro-
gram Music"

n the next Mayor OF Philadelphia Is
TO b given an opportunity 20 proceed
Withfhe many public improvements prof.
ecfe began by the Blankenbure admin
istration a municipal loan will be needed,
according 10 officials in the various de-
partments at City Han. The borrowing
power OF the city is at present limited

provements authorized BY the act maxi
Ing the assessment Of personal property
the basis for creating loans.
Mayor Blankenburg is preparing to
send messages TO Councils when that
body reconvenes on Thursday, and al
though II Is not known just what recon-
unendations will be made, Il is expected
that the question of a loan will be dealt
with at considerable length. AS notice
Of any loan must be made 30 days In
advance of the time on which II is
voted upon, the amount Of such a loan
must be determined and advertised in
the very near future, II the question is TO
be voted on November 2
There Is also a possibility that Councils
may take advantage of its power to make
temporary loans not to exceed S,2O0,O0O
al any time between now and the end
OF the year-such loans having a four
month time limit. and only being APP
plicable to departmental needs.
Numerous requests for additional ap-
propriations for important improvements
or needed expenses will be presented to
Councils by the heads Of the different
departments. Despite the knowledge of
this condition, members of the Finance
Committee contend that It will not be
necessary to provide for a temporary loan
for current expenses.
Money must also be found to continue
improvements in South Philadelphia. At
least S2,000oo0 will be needed for this
important work next year Not less than
$S0O,000 of the necessary 81, 500 900 for COM
pleting the Independent supply main to
connect South Philadelphia with the
Torresdale filtration plant is needed and
further development near League Island
will be retarded unless the necessary
funds are provided. New loan funds are
needed for carrying on the construction
Of the Northeast boulevard and for other
municipal works.
The $4,000 needed to bring the Liberty
Bell back to this city from San Fran
cisco will probably be provided for in
the near future by the transfer of the
necessary funds from some appropria.
ton as yet unexpended.

POTTER WILL ABIDE BY
DECISION OF PRIMARY
Mayoralty Candidate Will Not
Permit Later Use of Name
by New Party

Colonel sheldon Potter will abide by the
result Of the primaries, and win not per-
nit his name to be used as q candidate by
any party that may be formed Colonel
Potter made this announcement last
night while his friends were opening
campaign headquarters for him and
while he was criticisng the work OF
George d. Porter as Director OF Public
Safety.
In case I am not nominated I shall
not take part in the formation Of a new
party, and / will not permit any one TO
make use OF me as a candidate for a new
party" he said Il am determined how
ever, that no voter in Philadelphia shall
be in position TO say he was compelled
to choose between Mr.. Smith and Direc-
tor Porter"
Concerning his own record as Director
OF Public Safety in 1906 when he struck
1000 names off the voting lists, Colonel
Potter said.
Councils appropriated no money for
that purpose. 1t was done by the police
at my instruction, without any aid from
Councils whatever. l did that work in
16 months; Porter has held down the job
Of Director of Public Safety for four
years, and 1 want to ask you what he
has done in the line of eliminating illegal
voting in that time?
II was perfectly within my rights and
within the law when I asked the police
to aid me in that work. 1t is the duty
of the police to detect crime, and there
is no more criminal thing than illegal
voting"
Headquarters to boom Potter's candi-
dacy in the 22d Ward were opened last
night in the Conner Building. German
town and Chelten avenues. with an en-
thusiastic meeting. A Campaign Com
mittee was organized, with Paul z. Sutro
as chairman and Robson Perot as secre-
tary and treasurer A Ward Committee
will be formed at a meeting to be held
Friday night.

Police Court Chronicles

Lots of ammunition is being wasted in
Europe, and men are fighting in vain
for Luke st. John, of Washington, and
Jim Cooley, of New York. have settled
the war. incidentally, Charles Stevens
Of Washington, had @ voice in the settle
ment somewhat to his discomfort 1t is
apropos to state here that Luke and Jim
are vegetarians. Their pockets are always
filled with potatoes and tomatoes and
other such things. 1t seems they can't
help picking them up. 1t is pure habit
with them. and of course the vegetables
often come in handy when there's moth
ing else available.
The minds of Luke and Jim were much
relieved today on finding the commissary
department in good shape, so the two fell
to discussing the war. Luke favored the
English and Jim was for the Germans
While they were arguing at 5th street
and Lehigh avenue, Stevens strolled
along and heard the contentious of each.
He butted into the conference and de-
clared that neither of the conferees knew
what he was talking about. What hap
pened then cannot be adequately
described in words, but when Stevens was
pulled from the clutches of Jim and Luke
he looked like another man. He was
fixed up at drug store, and like a true
warrior he forgave his enemies. By way
of gratitude, they showed the way TO
several thirst establishments, and soon all
three men were happy and optimistic
They started a second discussion of the
war. but it attracted such crowd that
Policeman Boston compelled them to
finish it at the 4th and York streets sta
tion.
When the men gave their addresses,
Magistrate Glenn said the police station
was honored by the presence of such
intellectual representatives. This re-
newed the war argument Immediately,
and before the Judge could prevent it, all
three were on the floor with their DO
tatoes showing how the Germans licked
the Allies and vice versa. The cops got
interested, too, until the Judge reminded
the prisoners that neutrality would have
to be enforced. On promising to return
to their home towns they were dis
charged.
