Wants Congress to Name Commission
to Formulate Plans.
Washington, June President Will
son Is urging congress to appoint a
commission to study all questions re-
lating to land transportation with a
view to laying down a definite policy
for future railroad legislation.
The plan is to have joint commits
sion made up of five members from
each of the senate and house commit
tees on interstate commerce, such COM
mission to be clothed with full powers
to make the necessary investigation
and instructed to report to congress its
| recommendation as to a general legis-
lative policy affecting railroads to be
pursued by congress.
Many Problems Considered.
Among the important phases of the
railroad situation to be taken up by
the commission are questions affecting
securities, issues and their regulation,
extensions. franchises. government
ownership, rate regulation, state legis-
lation and it's relation to federal legis-
lation, taxation and kindred matters.
All these questions present more or
less difficult problems, and each of
them has come at different times be-
fore congress and the various stateleg-
islatures for discussion and legislative
action. AS a consequence the railroads
have been harassed by vexatious in
vestigation and legislation, both by fed
eral and state authority. Much of the
legislation has been conflicting.
1t is the idea of The president that
this can be corrected if a special COM
mission should be appointed to deal
solely with the railroad questions. de-

legislation necessary to straighten out
the situation both with respect to the
railroads and to the several states and

WHAT THE SHORSN 80 !:
ARE SHOWING y zzlla' y NJ

Bad weather!-yes, indeed, and just
the kind that encourages colds, neu-
ralgia and grippe, so If you are wise
you will take advantage Of some of the
simple remedies offered by the Gorgas
Drug Store, 16 North Third street,
which are most timely suggestions in
view of these quickly-changing wealth
or conditions. or course everything
sold by the Gorgas Store is perfectly
reliable and their prescription depart
nent is absolutely dependable. A
very simple remedy for colds is Cor
gas Opaac, which sells for 25c a box
and is excellent to break up a cold
quickly and effectively.
Catching Cold
One OF the easiest ways to catch a
bad cold is to sit in a poorly heated
house and poor heating is unnecessary
II one uses care in the selection Of
the furnace. A good furnace is no
more expensive than a poor one and
the Hines Hardware Store, 10 North
Market Square, is exclusive agent here
for the famous Penn Comfort and
Penn Perfect furnaces, which have
proved so very satisfactory to all who
have used them. The Hines store
as we'll as the manufacturers-gua
antee these furnaces to give perfect
satisfaction, and will be glad to give
prices and any other information to
those interested
\ New Arrival
Lovclier and still lovelier is the new
furniture just being received by the
Charles f. Hoover Furniture Co.
1859 North Second street. They
have been showing some beautiful
bedroom furniture which has caused
much favorable comment, but the
new ivory suite put on display to-day
rivals the prettiest of these. 1t is the
Louis XVI period, with the delicate
floral ornamentation that distinguishes
this period. The chest of drawers
with two beautiful panel doors and
inside trays is particularly attractive
while the bed, dresser and dressing
table have unusual charm of design.
The price is extremely moderate, for
low prices and fine workmanship are
both features of the furniture offered
by Hoover's.

Civic Club of Camp Hill
Aids the Polish Relief

An appeal from the Polish Relief
Committee has been. before the Camp
Hill Civic Club for the past two
months. The need of the Polish peo-
pie is urgent and a check will be mail
ed them March Is. All contributions

Harrisburg and the neighboring
towns as well as their own town.
The club held an interesting ses-
sion yesterday afternoon when II. A.

Charles +. Greenawalt one of the old
est church members who spoke of the
love of the congregation for its minis
ter and presented him in behalf of his
flock. with a beautiful gold watch
The Rev. Mr.. Harries was taken so
completely by surprise that 1t was
with difficulty that he found his voice
to thank the generous donors Of the
gift. He has been most active in re-
viVal work and has taken a personal
interest in the antisaoon effort i'm his
community. Members of the Ladies

Boiling Green

Boiling Green
Whether or not you are interested
in the Presidents marriage to Mrs,
Edith Boiling Gait, you will very like
ly be interested in the smart Boiling
green shoes offered by the Walk-Over
Boot Shop, 226 Market street. There
is such vast difference between
cheaply-made fad shoes and the we'll
made boots designed by fashion ar
lists, that these clever novelty shoes
should be seen to appreciate their dis
tinctive beauty. The perfect finish,
the graceful lines of this marcel but
ton boot, and the soft, rich shade of
the kid used IN it, make a stunning
model which can be worn appropri-
ately with many costumes, and will
always be in excellent taste. 1t sells
for 81.
DistinctivcIy Smart
Many people prefer a suit of light
color for Spring as it is always a pret-
ty and welcome change from the
darker tones of winter clothes. and
those who like things just a bit out
of the ordinary will appreciate a new
model offered by Astrich's, Fourth
and Market streets. 1t is a beautiful
tan checked material with just q
thread of green to give it tone and
distinction. The coat is made with
loose pleated back and narrow belt.
and the skirt is unique and most at
tractive, having front and back panels
joined at the hips with oddly shaped
pockets. 1t is a stunning suit, dis
tinctively smart. yet not too extreme
and it sells for just S29.75.
The Homelike Touch
The difference between a house and
a home lies often in the little tbinps
that add beauty and charm, though
they cost but little. A basket filled
with flowers or growing plants gives
homelille touch, while a basket of
fruit looks tempting and hospitable
in dining room, living room or on the
guest room table. The Studebaker
grocery store, "Cecond street at the
crossing of State.' is Offering their at
tractivei assortment of Japanese bas-
kets at exactly half price, furnishing
q splendid opportunity to have these
charming baskets at ridiculously
small cost.
