Tales of the AIdine
Most of to-day's session of license
court was taken up with the tale of
the Aldine. The stories that We're re-
lated of the Aldine's wineroom and
grillrooms were similar TO the tales
that have been heard for the last few
weeks in the Dauphin county courts.
Clyde Lynch, n Lebanon Valley col
lege student, and an investigator for
the American Civic Reform Union,
probably caused the biggest sensation
when he related his experience last

pressure is being shifted from point

Hunting Weak Spots
The possibility is indicated by
military observers that the Crown
Princes armies are gathering their
forces for a new concentrated attack
at some selected point, and that the
thrusts now being made here and
there are for the purpose of picking
out the weakest spot in the extended
line. The Germans, ii is noted, need
time to emplaCe their heavy guns and
possibly even now may have brought
them up behind their advanced in
concentration on its permanent de-
fensive works.

Meanwhile the French are not idle
and are delivering vigorous counter
strokes. When attacked. their lines
in the stronger positions they now oc-
Cupy are holding firmer.
Estimates of the number of Germans
engaged in the great battle are con-
siderably larger than 500. 900 men be-

as 10000 troops engaged in the

tinuing their campaign against the
Turks in Armenia. Reports from

Today Is Bicycle Day
All Over the Country

February 90 has been set apart all
over the country by bicycle manufac-
turers, jobbers and dealers as bicycle
day. says Ray Heagy, of Heagy Bros,
and right here in Harrisburg we ex-
pect ii to be n big day, with results
that will be felt all the year.
The statement that close to half q
million bicycles were made and sold
in 1915 may be a surprise to some
people. Yet it is absolutely true. The
bicycle industry is neither dead nor
even sleeping, and the slogan of the
trade now is a Million Bicycles in
1916.
Careful investigation shows that
even in the so-called boom bicycle
days not more than three-quarters OF
million bicycles were sold. That was
some fifteen years ago. The increase
of population and many other factors
make the bicycle market much larger
to-day than then. Bicycles cost less
and are better to-day than ever, for
riding for pleasure. The services they
perform, economically and we'll, in
business are more numerous than ever
The great American boy is as great a
bicycle enthusiast as he ever was-and
the bicycle helps to make boys strong
sturdy. manly and often helps them
make money and cultivate habits OF
thrift and business instincts.
Moreover, women and girls are
riding bicycles in larger numbers than
in years before. Society women at the
fashionable winter resorts have their
bicycle clubs and outings and enjoy
the sport immensely.
Bicycle racing has taken a new
lease of life, too. At the six-day meet
in Chicago recently the audience fire.
quently neared the 10000 mark-and
everything point to the fact that the
bicycle is here to stay-and that the
American people realize it, and buy
and use the bicycle in great numbers.
"All over the United States during
the week of February 20 there will be
special window displays and other at
fractions and the million bicycle year
will be given a fitting start"
