the Bill Outlined by Phila-
delphia People

Governor Brumbaugh to-day in
formed representatives of the Penn
sylvania Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation that he was in favor of a prac-
teal civil service law for the State

init a bill TO him. The bill will be

T. Henry Walnut, former state legis-
lator from Philadelphia and Stanley
W. Root the secretary, who outlined
their ideas to the Governor, evokins
from him a statement that he was
much interested and believed in q bill
which would meet requirements and
be safe and sane. He discussed his
own ideas on the subject. referring to
his message, and pointed out what he
thought should be done on Capitol
Hill. The Governor also referred to
his proposition to Feorganize the De-
partment of Agriculture under charge
of a commission and to establish civil
service in that branch of the govern
ment for a ''tryout." It is understood
counties and third class cities will be
given the option of taking civil service.
Messrs. Walnut and Root agreed to
submit their bill at an early day and
the Governor said that he would then
incorporate mis- own ideas and cut out
those which ne did not find prac-
ticable, if there be any
Civil service bills have appeared in
several recent sessions. Last session
Representative g. W. Williams, of
Tioga, sponsored one and there was a
disposition to take it up although
pressure of work and lack of time
prevented the details from being
worked out.
The Governor said to-day that prog
ress is being made on a workmen's
compensation act and it will be ready
for more discussions next week. To-
day he had conferences with q num-
Der of state officials about bills. 1t is

will go in next week and that it will
be in charge of Mr.. Williams. The

Beauty Prize Winner Tells
of Care She Gives Her Hair

OF unusual interest to women and
perhaps of as much admiration to
men. is the wonderful health of gIor-
ious hair that crowns the beauty of
Miss Mary Cranston. one of the Keith
stars appearing at the Orpheum this
week. Incidentally Miss Cranston has
won three beauty prizes and in each
instance there is no doubt but what
her hair helped much toward winning
her the honor.
Ladies who attend the Orpheum this
week will likely be delighted to take
tip from Miss Cranston, for to see
her hair is to make every lover of
glorious tresses interested as to the
methods OF care she pursues.
When seen in her dressing room at
the theater this morning, Miss Grams
ton was asked about her hair.
Would YOU like to see my hair?''
she said, shaking the wonderful gold
en- mass down over her shoulders. Il
do it up so simply that ! never need
a mirror, and the oftener I have it
around where the wind can blow
through it, the better | am pleased.
Il always wash my hair thoroughly
once a week, and just before the
shampoo / rub a small amount of
vaseline into the scalp.
Il use plain CASTLE soap for wash
ing, and in the last rinsing water 1
squeeze the juice of half a lemon.
This is my own idea, and there is
nothing in the world so good for i'm
parting luster to the hair"

Germany Notifies
American Shipping to
Avoid French Coast

Washington, Feb. 4.-Germany to-
day notified the State Department that
American vessels should avoid the
north and west coast of France.
The State Department does not re-
gard the notice as a formal declara-
tion of blockade by Germany of the
French coast. 1t is said that the mere
presence of German submarines or the
planting of German mines would not
constitute a blackade, which, accord
ing to long established principles of
the State Department requires the
maintenance of fleet of warships suf-
ficient to prevent any intercourse with
the blockade port.
Therefore. the department regards
the notice as similar to one issued by
the British government and TO a pre-
ceding notice from the German move
ment regarding the waters of the
North Sea, both of which recited that
mines had been sown within specified
limits and that the waters would be
unsafe for passage of neutral shipping
except under pilotage.
Technically, the waters of the
north and west coasts of France there
fore, are to be regarded as within tho
war zone.

TWO THOUSAND HEAR
M 'CORMACK CONCERT
Delightful Concert in Which the
Artist Is at His Best in All
Irish Songs

The John Mccormack recital last
night marked the second large concert
to be held in the Chestnut street audi
torium. The audience greatly remind
ed one of the concerts last winter by
Paderewski, when that artist gave his
irecital under the same management.
John Mccormack, celebrated Irish ly-
ric tener, last nights artist, was as
sisted by Donald McBeath. violinist.
SO much has been told of Mr.. McCor-
macks = voice that il was not only con-
sldered a race opportunity for Har-
risburS to hear him. but was n chance
taken advantage of by some two thou
sand people of this city and vicinity.
Mr.. McCormack's program from the
standpoint of construction was excel
lently balanced. although il might he
said without detracting from his work
in these numbers that his more popu-
lar work was done in his encorcs with
which he was particularly generous.
Mr.. McCormacks voice is Il beauti-
fullN, sweet, resonant, lyric tenor;
pure and without that touch in the
lower register of the baritone quality
which is so often found in a tenor
voice. MIR. McCormack's most popu-
lar and best received selection was the
group of ancient Irish songs. after
WHICH ne demonstrated MS real pOpu-
! larity in a series of encores which
started with the song written for him
u Hear You Calling Me-" and end
ing with the Irish love song-"Believe
Me 1T All Those Endearing Young
Charms. II was in this group that
Mr. Mccormack endeavored to sinc
Nevin's Rosary" but to the disap-
pointment of the audience was pre-
vented from doing so BY the Interrupt
tion of a few in the audience who
evidently had strayed into the hall
evidently under the impression that a
burlesque show was in progress and
who behaved accordingly. The con-
duct of both artist and audience un-
der the circumstances was admirable
! Mention of Mr.. McCormack's recital
would not be complete without note OF
his beautiful rendition of the plaintive
| old song Mother Machree." Nor
would ii be proper TO omit praise for
| the perfect accompaniment of Edwin
! schneider, whose work at the piano
was equal, if not superior. to anything
of the kind heard in Harrisburg III
recent years
Mr.. McBeath, as a supporting artist
was excellent, but unfortunately he
changed the numbers of his program
| He was best heard in the Mediation
| from ''Thais." by AIassanet. but in al
| of his numbers. as in this one. the
beautiful quality of his tones and his
| Iinterpretative abilities marked him as
/ an artist of no mean ability.
