NO ENCOURAGEMENT
IN MARCH RECORDS
Favorable Comparison With Last
Years Figures Due to Blizzard;
Soft Coal Traffic Improves

Records taken at eight freight dis
tribution points on the Pennsylvania
system up to midnight Sunday indicate
no improvement. During the same
period last year the Pennsylvania main
line was tied up because of a blizzard.
This brings some unusual contrasts.
Figures compiled show daily aver
age increase in freight movement OF
1,41S cars, or IL per cent, for the first
week of March. while for the second
week there was a decrease of 5,262
cars, or 1875 per cent, the daily aver
age for the two-week period showing a
decrease of 1922 cars, or s.S per cent.
Because of the blizzard and the in
terruption of traffic in the first week
of March the movement this year
makes favorable comparison with last
year. showing an increase in traffic.
The large decrease in traffic In the
second week may be partially eX-
planned by the fact that traffic which
accumulated during the first week of
March, 1914, because of the blizzard,
was moved during the second week,
making the movement for that week
abnormally heavy.
In the first fourteen days of Febru-
ary the aggregate movement past the
eight observation points was 29S,S66
cars. a decrease of 26,909 cars, while
the daily average was 21,S4S cars, a
decrease of 1922 cars.
The shutdown in slow freight on
both Sundays in 1915 and the full slow
freight movement on both Sundays in
1914 is another explanation for the
falling off so far this month.
The total movement past Lewistown
Junction in the first two weeks of
March was 1881 cars, as compared
with 47.295 in 1914, with 52,605 in
1913 and 51.929 in 1912. The btu
minous coal traffic eastbound de-
creased 25.3 per cent in this period,
while coke traffic eastbound decreased
81 per cent.

An OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make 1t at home,
which IS mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound You will get a large bot
tie for about so cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger

NURSERY YOUNGSTERS
HAPPY AFTER FIRE
Continued from First Page.l
THE GLOBE

Il
spent the night, TO the Children's In
dustrial Home. on the Hill, where they
will be cared for until other arrange
mentS are made.
The last remembrance of their
happy time as guests of the fire boys
was an ice cream feast, given them by
Howard o. Holstein, eX-Fire Chief and
member of the Citizen company. They
are now comfortably quartered in the
Industrial Home. and instead of being
worried at their loss they all seem de-
lighted at the rapid succession of ad-
ventures since they were marched out
of the burning building by Mrs. Cliff
ford Stewart the matron.
One youngster will be especially
happy in his new place, because, he
said, he would meet his sister and
brother, who have been cared for at
the Industrial Home, while he, with
another brother. was at the Nursery.
Scramble for Clothes
A striking instance of the vanity of
human nature was shown this morn
ing when the children We're dressing.
Each one went to the pile of extra
clothes that had been rescued from the
burning building and taken to the
ffrehouse and with great glee sought
out the finest piece of apparel for him
or her self before the matron could
interfere. Each youngster thought it
the chance of a lifetime to get a new
pair of trousers or a dress. and the
competition waXed high for a few
minutes until one of the attendants
interfered and scattered the ambitious
kids and told them to put on their old
clothes.
The Citizen firehouse was a lively
place last night and this morning and
attracted many visitors and the chill
dren kept the firemen interested with
capers. They sang and played ring
games and ate all the lunch they could

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
1t loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

boys parlor.
Sleep On Floor
Early in the evening a load of mat
tresses and bedding rescued from the
fire was brought to the house and
about 8 o'clock beds were made on
the floor. The children were unwill-
ing to give up their unusual amount
of sport and hestated about going to
bed when they were having such a
good time. But the matron and nurses
had had enough and decided accord
ingly.
Suddenly the signal came by a clap
OF Mrs. Stewards hands and promptly
every boy and girl toddled to the bed
assigned, kneeled beside it and repeated
a prayer after her. No more romping
was done, no more shouts were heard,
and each youngster cuddled under the
bedding and soon was in dreamland
away from sparks and firemen and big
policemen.
Early this morning each child was
munching a big bun, drinking milk
and eating breakfast food out of tin
cups. Throughout the morning Wis
itors brought cakes and crackers and
kept everyone stuffed.
Fire Sweeps Home
The fire broke out in the upper story
last evening and had practically de-
stroyed the building by $50. Owing
to inconvenient fireplugs, the firemen
were unable to get the fire under con-
troll before it got great headway. The
house is owned by Mrs. David Watts,
112 State street, and was valued at
about $4,000, partly covered by in
surance.
The Telegraph carried the story in
an extra edition.
March Out
The children were at supper when
the fire was discovered and were taken
out of the building in perfect order by
Mrs. Stewart, who has been matron
since November /. She returned to
the house and directed the rescue of
three children who had been quaran-
tined with mumps in one of the up
stairs rooms. The quarantine runs out
to-day and the sick ones We're sent
with the other children.
They were cared for in the neigh
boring houses of Andrew Schutzen-
bach and A. c. Smith until the use OF
the parlor of the Citizen Fire Com
pany house was offered by James J.
Brady. trustee of the company. They
were taken in automobiles loaned by
Miss Anne Mccormick. A. C. Stamm,
William Jennings, Samuel Schutzen-
bach and other members of the board
of managers of the Nursery Home.
A search is being made for suitable
temporary quarters for the children,
but If such cannot be found the chill
dren will be kept at the Industrial
Home until the completion of the new
Nursery Home in South Cameron
street in about six weeks.
