Kline was known as John W. Barn

come a candidate for a member of
the state senate. He and his family
were socially prominent.
Kline or Barnhardt was arrested
here last night. He had escaped Jail
two weeks ago, the police said, from
Waukesha. Wis. where his methods
of attempting to mortgage property
brought him under suspicion.
The hundreds of complaints against
Kline charge that he went into rich
farming community, inquiring for a
good farm which he might buy and
got acquainted with men of money.
When he had selected a farm, 1t was
charged, he either borrowed the deed
and made out a bogus deed to him
self or he bought the farm, paid for
1t by check and took possession of the
deed.
AS soon as the deed was safely re-
corded in his name, Kline. his ac-
cusers say. mortgaged 1t and by the
time the check was returned marked
mo funds he had gone back to Ar.
kansas to become a banker again.
The police say Kline is worth more
than S350,000.

"Be Natural" Is Only
Rule For Tennis

The condensation of the innumer-
able rules for tennis-pzuyers which
have been laid down by generations
of theorists into one broad rule is
one of the services which Maurice h.
Mclaughlin has done TO that game,
of which he is the greatest exponent.
In his own book. Tennis as 1 Play
It." he gives in detail his manner of
playing various strokes, but this one
rule is behind II all. What that one
rule is, is explained by National
Champion Richard Norris Williams,
End, in the introduction which he has
written for Mr.. McLoughlin's book.
Says Mr.. Williams:
What pleases me so much in Mr..
McLoughln's book on tennis is that
he shows the reader what he himself
does. His idea of tennis is based on
the theory: Do what is natural,
what Is born in you; and do not be-
lieve that anybody who has played the
game can deny this being the only
rule or maxim that stands with no
exceptions. People who write books
on tennis or try to teach the game
seem to get theories into their heads
and believe that there is a right way
or wrong way for everything, and
then try to reorganize your game ac-
cording to these ideas. This is fatal,
and you will notice that Mclaughlin
has no idea of so doing. He believes
that what is born in you must be
cultivated and brought to flower. He
does not demand reconstruction to CO.
incide with some pet theories of his
own"

REV. COOK TALKS ON
WAR AND RELIGION
Says We Have No Reason to
Doubt Gods Victory, Because
Of Europe's Conflict

The Rev. Mr.. Cooke, who has been
supplying the pulpit as temporary pas
tor of the Market Square Presbyterian
Church, yesterday morning preached
one of the strongest sermons of his
pastorate. Confidence In God" was
his theme.
In the course of his remarks he
very aptly referred to the present
world crisis and the barbarous situa-
ton in Mexico as typical of the sort
OF events which are accompanied by
a loss of faith on the part of many In
a Supreme Being who looks after and
protects us. MIR. Cooke declared that
man has to-day no more reason for
disbelieving in the great destiny
which shapes our ends" than he had
thousands OF years ago, and empha-
sized by reference to the Jewish trials
and difficulties, the conditions which
have shaken the faith of believers to-
day. pointing out the way in which
God had overruled the follies of men
to his own glory. MIR. Cookies SER
man was filled with the spirit of opti-
mtsm and confidence that in spite of
present conditions we have no real
reason to believe any less in the ac-
tual presence and power of God.
An interesting incident of the SER
vice was the singing OF hymn which
was q prayer for those missionaries
who are now on the Pacific en- route
to India. Mr.. H. c. Velte, who is be-
ing sent by the Market Square con-
gregauon, and his wife have been gone
for some days, on their way to Sahar-
anpur, India, where they will take up
their work. Mr.. Frank c. Coan,
whose father, mother and sister are
all serving in the missionary field in
India, has also left for that country,
where he will engage in Y. NJ. c. A.
work. MIR. Coan is well known in
Harrisburg, where he spent many OF
his vacations.

Straight Hair Made
Curly While You Sleep

BY an entirely new and harmless
method the straightest hair can now be
made beautifully curly while you
sleep. Not that the sleeping has any-
thing to do with 1t, except to prevent
loss of any of your precious time while
the process is at work. You simply ap-
ply little liquid silmerine to the hair.
using a clean tooth brush for the pur-
pose. This 1t seems has the property of
causing the hair to dry with delight
ful wavy effect. as will be quite appar-
ent in the morning.
The effect lasts considerably longer
than where hot iron is used, and the
curliness appears far more natural. If
you'll get a few ounces of the LIQUID
sflmerine from your druggist you will
have enough to keep the hair in curl
for many weeks. This. by the way, is
excellent also as dressing for the hair.

NEW MOTOR VEHICLE FOR PAS
SENGER SERVICE

A number of novel features are en-
bodied in a new passenger-carrying
vehicle that has just been brought out
and is designed to operate anywhere
that fairly good roads are available.
This vehicle is gasoline driven, is a
com bination of motor truck and coach
body, and is intended for city, sub
urban, or interurban service. The
chassis consist of Y ton truck with
a wheelbase of 23 feet 10A inches.
while the body is built much like a
Pullman car. Individual chairs,
mounted on special springs for absorb
ing shock, are provided for twenty
seven passengers. It is claimed that
this arrangement, together with the
springs on which the body is mounted,
provides the maximum of comfort un-
der road conditions that are far from
good. Along the sides of the car are
round windows, about "a inches in
diameter, which are hinged at the top
and can be swung inward against the
top of the car in pleasant weather.
The car is electrically lighted and is
provided with heating and ventilating
facilities, the heat being supplied by
the exhaust from the engine. The car
is made to be operated on the pre-
payment plan. Views of the car are
published in the August Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
