FINDS 81. 500 PENDANT
Conductor Pawns Gem, Feels Sorry
Makes Good and Is Forgiven

New York, Jan. 11.-Thomas
Sheehy, conductor of Fifth avenue
bus, who lives at 326 East Ninety first
street, found a four carat diamond
pendant on the floor of his vehicle on
January 5, and failing to see any ad-
vertisement of its loss, decided after
many twinges of conscience that legally
it belonged to him. He pledged the gem
IN Third avenue pawnshop for 500

concluded that he was all wrong as 10

gave back the money and got the dia.
mond.
Lieutenant Ticho, of the Second
branch detective bureau, who chanced
to be in the shop, witnessed the trans.
action and recognized the diamond as
$500 stone described by Mrs. Mary
Jones, OF Cold Spring Harbor, L. l.,
mother of General R0salie Jones, the
suffragist, as one she had lost. Mrs.
Jones had notified the police through
Edward Finch, her counsel, and also
had advertised.
Ticho arrested Sbeehy and had him
arraigned before Magistrate Marsh in
the Yorkville police court yesterday.
There the story of the conductor s men,
tai oscillations was told and the fact
that ne had always been honest and
faithful came out.
Mrs. Jones said she wouldn t make
any complaint under the circumstances
and at her request the conductor was
permitted to go.

HEALTH OF THE SKIN
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL.
D., Commissioner of Health

Few people pay sufficient attention to
ber of both sexes devote no little time
to the care of that portion which ap-
pears above their collars but few un-
derstand the real Importance of 1.-THE
functions of the skin.
We breathe through the skim A
considerable volume of oxygen is alb
sorbed by the body in this way. Cor
tain poisonous substances are disposed
OF through the pores of the skin. These
poisons are eliminated through the
glands in the skin passing off in per
spiration.
The skin is one of the body's ther
mostats that automatically regulate its
temperature. If the heat grows exces-
sive the blood vessels in the skin di-
late and permit the circulation of an
extraordinary amount of blood near the
surface. This permits the radiation of
the heat from the blood and the cor
responding cooling of the body and
stimulates more active combustion.
When the body is exposed to cold if
the skin is properly performing it's
functions it will contract and drive
the blood away from the skin to coneen-
trate its warmth near the vital organs.
The ends of the nerves which give
us our sense of touch are located in the
skin. This seusitiveness is for the
continual protection of the body. In
order that these various functions may
be properly carried out it is essential
that the skin be well cared for at all
times. If the pores are not kept thor
oughly clean, the poisonous excretions
instead of being expelled are resb-
sorbed by the blood. Such con ition
also prevents, the skin from absorbing
oxygen as it should do when properly
performing its functions. Then too,
there is the question of beauty. \
clean, healthy, well groomed skin is
genuinely attractive.
Soap and water should be vigorously
applied but no soap left on the skin
after bathing, Sleep and exercise in
fresh air combined with good food and
plenty of water are better than all the
skin foOS!s and beautihers and their
consistent and regular use will add ma
terially to the general bodily health and
we'll being

OPTICIANS TO RENEW FIGHT
Demand for Board of Examiners to Be
Made on Legislature

Reading. Pa, Jan. 11.-The fight for
the enactment of bill authorizing the
appointment of special State Board of
Examining Optomctrists, along the lines
of the medical board, will be renewed
az the eomirg session Of the Legisla-
ture as the result of action taken by
the legislative committee of the Penn

The committee consists of Otto G.
HaaSsmaR, NJ Rothschild, j. X. F. Can
agau and j. Martsch, of Philadelphia
l.. w Nagle, of Lebanon county, and
d. VI. jackson, of Tamaqua.
1t was decided to introduce bill
directing that board be appointed and

laid to battle vigorously against the
alleged Intention of the Medical Bureau

tice Of medicine amended so as to com
pei optometrists to take out a medical

MAY REOPEN COAL MINE
Lehigh Company Said to Be Preparing
to Work Big Deposits

Hazleton, Pa, Jan. 11.-Silver
Brook mines, covering an area of IA
square miles and containing manv veins
of coal 22 feet thick, which have never
been touched, may be reopened bv the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, accordino
to statements made at Hazieton vester.
day. The property, which was leased
to the j. s. Wentz Coal Company. of
Philadelphia, was abandoned and filled
with water in 1906, when the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company declined to renew
the leases and preferred to hold the
fuel until it needed it.
Mining experts say that the Wentz
interests merely nibbled at the immense
coal deposits, and the resumption of
operations means the employment of
1,50O men and big boom to Hazleton
and McAdoo.

TWIN BEDS FULL OF FUN
Two Big Audiences See Farce Comedy
That Affords Genuine Humor in
the Majestic Theatre

Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo
gave Harrisburg a very delightful bit
of farce comedy in "Twin Beds
which appeared at the Majestic Satur-
DAY afternoon and evening. There is
plenty of clean fun from beginning to
end, but the first act undoubtedly con.
tains more of pure humor than even
the third. for the last depends for it's
laughter producing elements upon the
drunken antics of the tenor and the
absurd situations arising from the sim,
ilarity in arrangements and furnish.
ings of two New York flats.
The first act, however, is pure, spon.
taneous humor. There are only seven
characters in the little play but each
one is almost perfect in its way, Mar.
garet Boland, as "Rlanche Hawkins, y
aud Howland B. Lee as her husband, di.
vide honors with the Italian tenor, his
militant wife and with Georgie Brew
Mendum, who is inimitablc as 'Norah, -
the maid.
The mistake of the tenor who enters
the wrong fiat while drunk and even.
tually hides in a clothes basket. sup.
plies the motif of the comedy. Marion
Lord as 'Signora Mont,' holds the
center of the stage whenever she il
visible, and keeps the audience in one
continuous gale of laughter.
There is nothing deep or pretentious
about the play, but it has real human
interest, and certainly it mas better
mission in the world than the ''prob.
lem play which, it is to be hoped
will soon disappear forever. Irwin
Beds affords an evening of genuine
laughter, with no after regrets.
