the CHOSE dancing craze of 1891 came
along he was sent alone to do the work

general orders gave h--n full credit for

that they had made a notable conces-

hurriedly Dispatched to the Mexican bor-
der to persuade the turbulent Mexicans
to take their civil war out of Arizona,s
front yard.
That's always the way. Scott never
gets well started on an army job any
where but what he is yanked away to
go somewhere and do some pacifying.
He is Uncle Sans star pacifier.
Dark skinned people, whether they
be Mexican or straight Indian, or Gu
ban or Filipino. take to him as chill
dren take to a fond uncle. Sometimes
he has to lick them first. When he
does, he Iicks them thoroughly. But
that is only on rare occasions. AS a
rule he has them eating out of his
hand within a week.
Two years ago. with a lifetime of
experience behind him. he went down
to the Mexican border as colonel of the
Cd United States Cavalry. There he
remained until last April. when he
came to Washington to become assist
ant chief of staff and a brigadier gen
eral. Only a few weeks ago he moved
up to be chief of staff.
Those two years on the border made
him. obviously, the man to settle the
new trouble that has arisen All
through his army career he has made
IL rule n all problems with which
he has had to deal to study the per-
sonal equation"
So he studied the personal equation
of Pancho villa. for one, and of Ben
lemin Hill, the Carranza general who
has been making most of the recent
fuss near Naco, Ariz. He came to
know both men well. and they. in turn,
conceived profound respect for him
and even sincere affection. His hold
over them is said 10 be remarkable
Whence comes this remarkable power

races?
To know the answer one must know
something of the man. And to make
you know the man one must depart
from orderly narrative.
First of. you should know that he
is doctor OF the humanities. There
have been other doctors at the head
of the American army. For example

Powell-WiIliams Recital
Is ArOusing Enthusiasm

The announcement made a few days
ago that Maud Powell, the famous
American violinist, and Evan Williams,
the great Welsh tenor, were to appear
in joint recital in the Chestnut Street
Auditorium, Thursday evening, April
s. was received with more than mere
enthusiasm.
Among the musical artists in this
country none are more popular, and
it is seldom that one has such an op-
portunity of hearing two such great
artists in one evening.
OF a recent recital a western critic
says of the wonderful playing powers
of Maud Powell: "She certainly is the
greatest woman player. This is not to
the point at all There is no sex in
art. and II Maud Powell, being a wo-
man. has achieved such heights, it is
even more to her credit. She can do
all a man can do. but she has some
thing besides which no man can give
for the simple reason that he is mere
man."
Last month Mr.. Williams gave a re-
cital in Aeolian Hail. New York City,
and hundreds of people were turned
away. Mr.. Henderson, the able mu-
sical writer on the New York Sun, re-
fers to him as "onc of the most inter-
esting singers to be heard in recital"
1t is through the local management
of Alfred &. Kuschwa and c, l.. EnclI
that the appearance of these artists has
been made possible

was elected to make arrangements.
The committee follows: j. Fred Hum
mel, chairman; Linwood b. Wan
baugh. secretary; A. ]. Wright, treas
urer; Ralph Schrack and l.. Il. Baker.
Want Town Hall
In addition to the celebration it is
possible that residents may have an
opportunity to dedicate their new town
hall, for efforts are now being made
to get title to the ground at Second
and Market streets.
Following the decision to have a
celebration and the selection of a COM
mittee, the possibility of erecting a
town hall was discussed. The plot of
ground at Second and Market streets
was given to the town many years
ago with the understanding that it be
used for market place. However,
boroughites arc more desirous of using
it as a site for town hall.
A committee from the Wormleys-
burg fire company, composed of
Messrs. Ralph c. Schrack, C. Vernon
Kister and J. Fred Hummel is working
in conjunction with a councimanic
committee made up of Messrs. Boose,
Wanbaugh and Smith. in an effort to
secure title to the ground and each
organization has appropriated $25 TO
be used in obtaining the writ. Every
thing possible will be done to have the
hall completed so that it can be dedi-
Gated during the centennial celebra-
ton.
According to the present plans Of
the executive committee, the celebra-
ton will be opened on Sunday, August
| and will continue until August s.
the hundredth birthday of the town
Services will be held in the various
churches of the town and there will
likely be a parade of fire companies
