ACCIDENTS FROM THE FOG

Many accidents are reported as the
result OF a dense fog that settled
down upon the east Atlantic coast the
other morning. A house across the
street could not be seen. There were
collisions or the railroads. the elevated
and the surface lines: ferryboats ran
into each other. and into wrong land
iing-places; ships went TO wreck, all
because the people could not see. No
matter how keen the physical eve it
cannot see unless the atmosphere be
clear. Men are often lost in intellec-
tual fog, and founder about aimlessly
and without destination. Some are
enveloped in a foggy moral atmos-
phere. They do not see the moral
quality of an action, and suffer many
collisions. There are theological and
spiritual fogs which sometimes settle
down over ministers. Luckily they
are few, and clear vision returns
when the sun arises higher up in the
heavens. The Rev. DIR. Hugh Black,
in a current magazine article. ad-
vises ministers who have doubts to
burn their own smoke" and not
work out any of their unbelief into
the sermons to act as a black cloud
of smoke to darken souls. As the
sun drives away the fog in the nat
ural world, the Sun of Righteousness
scatters the fogs of unbelief, and
opens the Bible, the cross, and life
to the eye Of faith.-The Christian

WOMEN APPEAR AS OLD
AS THEIR HAIR

1t is astonishing to see how much
good-looking hair does toward pro-
ducing a youthful appearance. 1t is
astonishing also to realize how much
the attractiveness of the hair is af-
fected by the care we give it, espe-
cially in the matter of cleansing. In
washing the hair it is not advisable
to use makeshift. but always use
a preparation made for shampooing
only. You can enjoy the best that is
known for about three cents a sham
poo by getting package of can
throX from your druggist; dissolve a
teaspoonful i'm a cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After it's use
the hair dries rapidly. with uniform
color. Dandruff. excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that 1t will
look much heavier than it is. It's lus-
ter and softness will also delight you,

ACTIVITIES IN THE LEGISLATURE
GOVERNOR WOULD
HAVE VOTERS VOTE
State Executive Makes Interesting
Comments Upon the Plan of
Snyder Bill

Legislation which is near approach
to compulsory voting is being thought
of by Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh.
His discussion of the subject was oc-
casioned last night by a bill intro
duced by Representative d. ]. Snyder,
of Westmoreland, who would impose
an annual tax of SS, of which 81
would be returned if the elector par
ticipated in the primaries and election
Governor Brumbaugh said he had
the proposed legislation in mind for
some time and did not know the Sny-
der bill was to be introduced. He will
study this measure and may be able
to have ii amended to meet his ideas
He wants to penaliZe the nonvoter, but
does not desire to make the scheme a
revenue raiser. Yesterday the Repub-
lican state organization had a reso-
luton introduced proposing an amend
ment TO the Constitution abolishinS
the poll tax. This is not in harmony
with the plans of the Governor.
In discussing his proposition he
said:
Every citizen of this commonwealth
who is entitled to vote should particI-
pate in elections. l have not read
Representative Snyder's bill and am
therefore not familiar with its pro-
visions. What I say upon the subject
must not be construed as criticising the
features of the Snyder bill. But l have
definite ideas upon the subject.
My plan is to have a law which
would not in any sense be a revenue
producing measure, but which would
penalize the qualified elector who re.
fuses TO participate in elections There
should be tax of 50 imposed upon
every qualified elector, half of it to be
returned when he has voted at the pri-
mary election and the remainder when
ne votes at the general election. The
return OF the money should be upon
the basis OF certificate from the cleo
ton officers
Such a law would impose a penalty
upon the man who fails to perform
one of the essential duties of citizen
snip. l am in favor of legislation that
VIII tend to bring the stay-at-home
voter TO the polls. There is no use in
moralizing about such a proposition.
Ihe way TO solve the problem is to
make II cost the voter something to
stay at home on election day.
reference TO the election returns
upon constitutional amendments will
show that in eight years no amend
ment has been adopted by a vote rem
reSenting the majority of the electors
OF the state. The fact is that the
fundamental law of the state is being
changed by a minority of the cleo
torate. This is a distinct menace To
our democracy.
There are plenty of stay-at-home
voters IN the suburban wards of Phila-
delphia ana Pittsburgh and. in fact.
all over the state. They show scant
interest in public affairs. so far as
their votes are concerned, but they
are usually the loudcst and most in
sistent IN their criticisms when anv-
thins goes wrong. Politics in our
states and cities would be quite dif
terent If all citizens voted"

in Quality Street.

announcement is made that Maude

rlsburS theatergoers, is to be seen at
the Majestic, Friday evening" March
26. The play will be Quality Street. >

Barrie
Miss Adams has not visited Harris
burg for several years and waE last
seen here in Peter Pan" as "the boy
who wouldn't grow up" In selecting
to revive Quality Street. for the
present seasons tour it would seem
that the actN ness has hit upon a vehicle
that is altogether timely in its story
and situations. For the comedy is
supposed to have taken place during
the period or the Napoleonic wars and
in it Phoebe of the Ringlets" bids
good-by to her English sweetheart
that he may cross to the continent to
help fight the great Napoleon. And
in the first act the auditor witnesses a
quartet of maiden ladies knitting caps
and stockings for the sufferers
abroad"
The present seasons tour promises
to be the longest Miss Adams has ever
made. 1t began early last September
and will not be concluded earlier than
July Before its termination the com
pany will have visited practically every
State in the Union and have travelled
more than $4,000 miles. From Har-
risburg, Miss Adams will tour in a
westerly direction and later play an
engagement at the Panama Pacific
Exposition in San Francisco and, pos
sibly, give one or two special produc-
tions at the Greek theater, in Berke-
ley, Cal.
