Mr.. Retailer, tell your manu-

of advertising helps you.
Tell them that advertising in
this newspaper is read by people
of this city and sends customers
to your store.
Tell them that it sells the
goods.
Tell them that you are glad to
co-operate with It by showing the
goods when the advertising is

A COMBINATION BUILDING

VTTE find that many citizens agree
w with the Telegraph in its posi-
ton on a combination court
house and city hall. Whether the
present structure is to be remodeled
for the joint use of the city and county
may be a question for discussion by
the municipal and county authorities,
but there can be little doubt that the
people favor one building and are op-
posed TO a separate city hall which
would require a double force of en-
ployes and caretakers, when a COM
bination building could be more eco
nomically managed and maintained.
In these matters the convenience OF
the taxpayers and those who have
business with the city and county off,
cials must have first consideration.
OF course, it is worth while that the
building shall reflect the progress and
the public spirit of our people, but
this goes without saying.

Now we are threatened with higher
coal prices should the anthracite barons
be forced to pay the scale adopted by
the United Mine Workers. 1t was ever
thus. Down beneath all such move
ments is the unfortunate consumer. He
must pay the price and this may ac-
count for the apparent change of front
in the last few years on the part of the
general public, which formerly threw
up its hat and cheered every time a
big strike was declared.

OUR ADVANTAGES

n HORE and more manufacturers
N are realizing the enormous ad-
vantage of Harrisburg as a dis
tributing center. It's near proximity
to the seaboard during the present
embargo at the New York terminal
has demonstrated in the most con-
vincing way the Importance of To-
eating, distributing depots and indus
trial plants in this city While the
New York terminals were blocked by
the congestion of freight, the manu-
facturer and distributor here had out
lets to the sea at Philadelphia and
Baltimore. This fact will doubtless
be emphasized by the Chamber of
Commerce pilgrims in their coming
tour through the central part of the
State.

DRESS REFORM

n MONG the thousand and one
n dress reforms" of recent years,
that proposed by the Federation
of Women's Clubs of America as a
protest against recent and present eN-
tremes in feminine garb shines forth
alone as possible of accomplishing its
end. Most club women" We are told,
want to establish a general rule
against indecent extremes in dress
and a custom of making womens
gowns conform to the following four
regulations:
First individuality. every woman
trying to express her own ideas.
Second. modesty, not Puritanism,
but decent regard for what is
proper Third, good taste, degree
of art in the expression of indi-
Vidualism. Fourth, appropriateness:
Young girls should not be dressed
not dress like girls.
Certainly. there is here permitted
ample latitude and freedom for even
the most eNacting. All that is barred
is indecency. But one wonders, if so
many women feel that way about 1t,
why the reform has not been accom-
plished without the necessity of form
ulating rules of dress.
Thomas Carlyle, in Sartor Resartus,
tells us that the first purpose of
clothes was not warmth or decency,
but ornament" and if this be true we
suspect that the club women may have
some difficulty in supplanting the idea
back of the adoption of the original
fig leaf if clever style-makers continue
to induce femininity to believe that a
split skirt, a sawed off bodice or a
peei-a-boo waist adds to charms and
enhances personal beauty. AS the
philosopher observes, commenting on
the origin and development of clothes,
from the cave-m mans necklace of
teeth to the present garb of our wo-
men, ''yon snow and rose bloom
maiden has descended from that same
hair mantled, flint-hunting aboriginal
anthraphagus," and she hasn't changed
much in ideas about dressing.

Over so blank nominating petitions
have been issued by the Department of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
for circulation for signatures for the
May primary. Papers may not be cir
culated, however. until February is,
which will be sixty days before the
primary.
The petitions sent out were to about
score of aspirants for nominations
who had written to the Capitol for the
papers and the shipments were linn
tied to their needs, the department de-
clining to send a number in excess of
requirements. One candidate, whose
name could be placed on the ballot by
two petitions, asked for 200. Another
asked for 100 when two would suffice.
1t is likely that the state committees
of the various parties will supply pa
pers for their candidates for delegates
to national conventions if the plan is
made to secure more signatures than
needed to comply with the law.
Suggestions for changes in the
Workmen compensation acts, which
are commencing 10 be made now that
the operation of the law is under way.
will be carefully noted and studied at
the Capitol by the attorneys for the
Compensation Board and by the Attor-
ney General. 1t is expected that nu-
merous amendments will be heard of
at hearings and meetings which will be
held this year. but as in the case of
the school code, changes will be
weighed before being favored at the
Capitol. Efforts will be made to keep
the compensation discussion out of
politics as much as possible.

ing evolved a system of high-speed
subway and elevated lines and started
the construction work on both. The
appointment of Mr.. Twining does not
come as surprise, because his name
has been repeatedly mentioned for the
place since Mr.. Taylor decided to re-
tire.

Conferees on the emergency revenue

empower the President to retalate against
citizens of belligerent nations which in.

argument which prevailed in the confer

ships to Americans in foreign countries

abandoned the Chamberlain amendment to
prohibit admission of Pacific ocean sal

except in bond through an American port
