The Freak Legislator

Every year sees the intrOduc-
ton of freak bills into the leg
islatures of one or more states,
but the spring of 1915 seems to
have capped the climax. The
freak legislators have run mad.
Hardly a state has escaped. 1t
is the fashion of the press to
poke fun at Kansas, which may
be depended upon to come to
the front with something foolish
in the way of legislation. And
although the Sunflower state has
lived up to her glowing reputa-
tatlon in the present session,
her companions in the sorority
of states have not fallen far be-
hind. Most of the new laws
have been introduced for the
purpose of prohibiting some
thing or other. Here are a few
culled from exchanges:
To prohibit the catching OF
frogs. Minnesota.
To compel chickens to go to
roost before Z p. m. To provide
that bulls driven along the road
at night shall wear lights. Colo
RADIO.
Providing that all weeds and
plants which cause hay fever
shall be removed from the road
sides. Bachelors to pay an an
nual tax of S. per head. Pro-
hibiting the wearing of whiskers
by doctors and dentists. Mas
sachusetts.
Compelling the National Guard
to do ninety days. work each
year on the roads and bridges of
the state. Requiring dealers in
stock foods to pay an annual
license of $25 a year. Prohibit
ing free lunches. Nebraska.
Compelling church growers to
leave their firearms outside.

Prohibiting treating. Pro-
hibiting the giving of tips to
BARRIERS, walters, porters, hat

the star in ''The Virginian and other
famous plays of like calibre, will make
his first appearance to-day as a "s,

Regent theatre. "Cameo Kirby" is
only the third "movie" production in
which the popular actor has participat-

ment that he could be engaged to take
the stellar role. "Cameo Kirby" is a
Southern story, full of thrills and hui

unique and picturesque. "Cameo Kir-

fight it to the limit. -
There was not much of fight in
the House to prevent the wiping out of
a law which has helped to make elec-
tions clean in third class cities. At
that, the bill received few more votes
than the number required by the con
stitution to pass it. The vote was III
to 3S. The cities affected by the re-
pealer are: Allentown, Altoona, Brad

Easton, Erie, Franklin, Harrisburg,

Girls to Run Country Store

Everybody who ever purchased any

the task of shopping is made less
arduous when the customer deals with
a fascinating miss on the other side of
the counter. At the Colonial theatre IS

dozen of the prettiest girls in vaude-
vile will take charge and wait on the
customers that go to the stage for
their gifts. These girls are the living
models in the "Haberdashery" act
that is being talked of so widely as
one of the best features the Colonial
ever offered. After they have complet-
ed their routine work of displaying
the beautiful garments that belong in
their act, they will take hand at the
Colonial s weekly store event and pass
these articles out to customers as they
come to the stage. This will be a nov
city that will make the Colonial's
Country Store well worth attending
tonight. "The Haberdashery Girls, .

Appointed to Succeed

Promptly Confirms
His Name
$8.5OO.OOO FOR
THE STATE ROADS
This Amount Provided Under Terms
of Measure introduced BY Senator

Administration

simultaneously with the confrma
tion by the Senate last night of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's appointment OF

as State Highway Commissioners, for
a term OF four years, to succeed E. M

tion of bill by Senator Sproul carry.
! ing an appropriation of $Sy5O0, 900
for general highway work for the next
two years.
The bill was introduced following a
conference with the Governor and it
| represents the views of Governor
Brumbaugh, Senator Sproul and the
chairmen of the appropriations com.
mittees of both branches of the legis-
lature as to the amount which can be
spared for road purposes.
Mr.. Cunningham, who had been
prominently mentioned for the high
way commissionership since the resig-
nation of Mr.. Bigelow, has been prom
inent in Allegheny politics and served
term in the State Senate.
$500 For Each Mile of Road
OF the amount carried by the bill,
$4,000, 900 is specifically appropriated
for the maintenance and improvement
of State highways under the act of
1911 and it's amendments. This means
that the entire State highway system,
including those roads added to the
original Sproul plan two years ago,
will be retained as State highways.
This allowance will give about $500
10 70 - ,..L
and it is the judgment of Deputy Com.
missioner Hunter and Chief Engineer
Uhler that this amount will be suf-
ficient to keep the roads in very good
condition and do considerable perma-
nent work.
The sum of 100000 is appropriate
ed for the purchase or condemnation
of turnpikes upon State highway
routes; 81 100000 is set aside for the
construction and maintenance of State
aid highways, and the remaining ST.
0O0,0 is to be devoted to the pay
ment of a portion of the expense of
the maintenance of township roads, as
provided by the Jones bill
To Pay Deficiencies to Townships
Representative Jones has introduced
a ooPaidto plii HldhlHS pTONlSlOn IOT
the payment of deficiencies due by the
State to townships under the operation
of this law.
The appropriation bill introduced by
Senator Sproul provides that the APP
preparations made therein shall include
and not be in addition to the amounts
received by the Common for the
licensing of motor vehicles during the
next two years.
This prevents any question arising
regarding the validity of the appro,
priation of the funds received for
automobile licenses, which matter is
now pending in the Supreme Court
upon appeal by the Auditor General
and State Treasurer from decision of
the Dauphin county courts on the ap-
plication of the law of 1918, which
provided that moneys received from
automobile licenses should be devoted
to highway purposes,
To prevent any delay or risk of
trying up these funds, the present bill
provides for specific appropriation
to the department.

Sousa and His Band Tonight

1t has been remarked repeatedly
that, notwithstanding the e0aggera-
tions of his imitators, Sousa is the
sanest of the bandmasters of the gem
Grafton. He eschews the meaningless
and wholly theatrical mannerisms
which are affected by so many other
leaders for the sole purpose of at
tracing attention and eliciting COM
ment. Sousa leads with an easy grace
that seems to be part of the music
he is conducting, yet with masterful
precision which absolutely controls the
wonderful body of musicians banded
together in his name. The programs
presented by Sousa and his band al
ways contain something new, and we
are wondering what special treat will
be offered when they appear here at
the Majestic this evening.-Adv.*

Art pre-exists in nature, and nature is
reproduced in art. AS vapors from the
ocean, floating landward and dissolved

the ocean, so thoughts and the SEM

soul of man in showers flow out again
in living streams of art and lose them

cordapt, but ever harmoniously work

Little Mary Mack

An agreeable surprise is in store
for local playgoers, in "Little Mary
Mack, which comes to the Majestic
theatre Saturday matinee and even
ing. This musical comedy, unlike
other musical comedies, is a strictly
American play. There is not the sem
blance of Europeanism or other alien
quality about it. Hitherto it was con-
sidered indispensable that some scene
should be laid in a picturesque corner
of the Old World, but the producers of
"Little Mary Mack'' have defined
tradition.
Delbert E. Davenport, producer of
"Little Mary Mack,'' also is the au-

A Roumanian Custom

A strange custom is still observed in
Roumania. When a servant has dis
pleased his or her master the offender
takes his boots in his hands and places
them before the bedroom door of his
master 1t is sign of great submits
sion, and the boots are either kicked
away as an intimation that the fault
will not be forgiven, or else the serv-
ant is told to place them on his feet,
which shows that he is forgiven.

David WarfeId

A very pretty sentiment marks the
appearance at the Majestic tomorrow
evening of David War6eld, who will
once more, under the direction of
David Belasco, appear as Simon Levi,
in "The Auctioneer." This is the
character that brought him his first
great fame ON the legitimate stage
thirteen years ago. The occasion will
be "a happy reunion for both the older
and younger generation of theatre
goers, who will be enabled once again
to view this great artist in a role that
commands the love and sympathy of
all. Affectionate old Simon Levi, the
Hester street secondhand dealer, was
the first of Mr.. Warfeld s notable
creations and without doubt it ranks
as his greatest achievement. Certainly
it is the Characterization that seems to
appeal most to the popular fancy, if
the ovations that have been rendered
this beloved artist wherever he has
appeared so far this season, are any
riterion.-Adv.*
