Fletcher jr., the elevcn-year-old son OF
an indianapolis banker. and his cousin.
Laurel Harrington, ten, daughter OF
Booth Harrington. the novelist, did not
think so until they had. tramped ten
miles on their way.
Bored by the simple life they were
leading on the Fletcher farm near In
dianap polls, the two youngsters decided
to seek the bright lights of New York.
The fact that they had only S5 cents did
not deter them. They started on foot
on Saturday afternoon
They walked until tired, and then de-
cided that train was preferable When
they reached Acton ten miles from
home. they stopped at the house of
George Swails. They told Swails that
that they were from New York and had
gone ont 20 play and became lost.
They said they were brother and sis
ter. They ate supper with Mr.. and Mrs.

escapsde immensely. But when their

1T RUINS HAIR TO

Soap should be used very sparingly,
IL at all. il YOU want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much all,ali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any,
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough

ploits OF the war is summarized by the
Austrian war office today. 1t states that
an Austrian patrol operating at an inn
portant position on the front succeeded
IN penetrating the main lines of the
Russians. The patrol pushed forward
TO the residence occupied by the Rus

Those scenes Sunday afternoon and

Billy Sunday thus expressed himself
on the results of the opening call for
trail-hitters In the campaign in this
city.
Every place else in the city men
were talking about that one days
revelation. Preachers discussed it at
their weekly meetings in the morn
ing, marveled at what they had seen
and heard, and rejoiced.
Urges Constant Work.
Mr. Sunday reJoiced, too, but he
didn't stop to talk about it. His one
idea is work"
He stopped long enough yesterday
to take a day Off with MA" Sunday
and their son George at Atlantic City.
Discarding his familiar gray hat for a
cap which he pulled down over his
eyes. he and Ma" rode up and down
the boardwalk in a roller chair from
the cottage of John Wanamaker, at
Chelsea, whose guests they were for
the day. to the Chalfonte.
But the work didn't stop-not by a
long shot. At the tabernacle Fred
Seibert. the cowboy caretaker, was
renovating the sawdust trail. leveling
the much -trampled aisles with new
shavings making 1t ready for today.

Philadelphia sets new mark in
America for religious demonstrations

opening period.

His Biggest Campaign.
Philadelphia is the largest proposition
Billy" ever tackled in his evangelistic
experience. The tabernacle. the crowds,
the expenses, even the size of the Sun
daX party, everything is larger in pro-
portion. Pittsburgh was the nearest in
point OF vastness of the enterprise. ac-

that city the campaign expenses totalcd

nearly five weeks to get out of the

ton. Wilkes-Barre. and all OF the other
cities where Sunday has conducted
similar campaigns the current expenses
ranged from $4,000, the lowest, in Des
Mnines. to $4,000. in Scranton and
were needed to raise the amounts.
Tonight has becn announced as 10
cent night at the tabernacle. and moth

to be dropped into the collection pans.

The fact that one of the merrwas hat

may have a great deal to do with run
ming down the fugitives. Several vacant
sheds and houses on the road to AieN.
andria are being thoroughly searched
this afternoon and important aeVelop-
ments are being expected.
II is thought that the murderers may
have separated. one coming to wash
ington and the other going in the d.
rection OF Alexandria. If the mems
clothing was as bloodstained as was
the discarded sweater. it Is presumed
that they either made all haste TO
abandon their clothing or probably
sought shelter in some vacant house
along the road.
There is also possibility that they
ran toward the river after the crime
and escaped in a boat. An inVestiga-
tion is being conducted which takes IN
the entire water front within radius
of several miles. ~
Every foot of the territory between
the house and river. which is some dis
