Would Organize a Press Club
Composed of '"Has Beens."
THERE ARE MANY ELIGIBLES
Kansans Who Have Been Edl-

baugh is an old timer in the country
newspaper game. So he proposes to
band together the men who have act
ually published newspapers and have

baugh prefers those who retired be-
cause their credit STOPPED. That de-
tail however, is not essential to mem
bership.
AIbaugh has no idea as to the
number of former newspaper pub
fishers who are now engaged in some
other work or prCfes SIGN But every
time the we'll known Kansas poll

and comfort and ar hour of reUin-

working organization of the has

An interesting trio effect of the even
ing Will be the presentation of Edwin
Hart. of Washington, d. c., with his
two sons, Edgar and Leland Hart. Ed
win Hart, former resident of Harris
burg, but now professor of Columbia
Conservatory of Music, will accompany
his sons in their various selections.
Edgar Hart is one of those Violinists
who captures his audience imme-
diately. Mr.. Hart studied abroad for
several years and since his return has
proved himself one of the most promi-
nent musicians. He was for several
seasons leader of Van Osten's orches-
ira and since then has filed several
engagements with New York opera
companies. Mr.. Hart's execution is
faultless and his tonal quality full and
broad. with a decided resemblance to
the Kubelik schooling. A pleasing
characteristic of the young man is his
absolute composure and self-con-
fidence.
Leland Hart, brother, is a cellist
of note. The really wonderful ability
with which Mr.. Hart manages his bow,
together with the charming personality
of the young man, have won for him
his place in the musical world.
The vocal selections of Mrs. Merviu
Tremble, formerly Miss Carrie Comp
ton, of this city, with Miss Myrtle
Dornbaugh as piano soloist, will be
another interesting feature of the even
ing. Mrs. Tremble's musical abilities
have formerly won for her much ap-
plause. Her wonderful expression,
volume and clearness of tone charm
the most delicate ear. Too much
praise cannot be given Harrisburg
brilliant piano soloist, Miss Myrtle
Dornbaugh, whose musical abilities are
winning her exceptional honors. Miss
Dornbaugh made her debut in recital
in the Spring of 1915. Since then she
has appeared in several select con-
certs. exhibiting to the appreciative
audiences her case OF manner and fine
execution. together with the marked
expression displayed in her various
selections. These attributes always
distinguish Miss Dornbaugh as the
true artist.-AdV.

The Girl of the Golden Harp

One of the most brilliant affairs of
this season will be the concert of
Thursday evening. February II, in
Technical auditorium, for the benefit
of Sylvan Heights Orphanage. The
principal artist will be Mary S. Warfel,
the American harp virtuoso, assisted
by her most talented pupil, Margaret
NJ. Vaughn, of this city, who will at
this concert make her initial appear
ance to the public of Harrisburg. Miss
Warfel has already had the experience
of several master minds, under the
rigid tutelage of Heinrich Schuecker,
Carlos Salzedo and Ada Sassoli, names
most esteemed in musical circles. Miss
Warfel has spread her fame both
abroad and in America. AS a soloiSt
she has won laurels in New York. The
exceptional technique, the ease, as well
as the depth of soul power displayed
by Miss Warfel, show that she is a
perfect master of her instrument.
With such an able and intelligent in
structor. a real lover of music eagerly
awaits the presentation of another am
bilious harpist. This we have in the
person of Miss Margaret Vaughn. The
latter has made a study of the harp for
several years. While quite small Miss
Vaughn showed marked talent and
real interest. In later years, during
her college career at st. Joseph's Col
lege, Emmitsburg, Md, such zeal and
love of this instrument prompted her
teacher to permit the rendition of a
harp recital. Such rarity was highly
appreciated by the student body of
this college. So successful were the
results that upon the request of Pro-
fessor Fritz Gaul, a noted composer
and musical director of Baltimore, Nd,
Miss Vaughn rendered a harp solo on
the day of receiving her degree of
bachelor of arts. in June, 1914. Since
then her incessant desire to become a
skilled artist has been constantly in
creasing until now her excellent abili-
ties characterize her as an accom-
plished artist. Her sound musician
ship and wonderful depth of feeling
make her playing delightful and
charming.

Only Three Inches Above

Toledo, Ohio. Feb. 10. - Council
man Stanley Kryzsniall has prepared
an ordinance TO be introduced next
Monday providing fine and imprison-
ment for women wearing in the street
outer skirts higher than three inches
above the ankle.
Kryzsniak originally drafted the bill
to read "one inch above shoe tops" ."
but changed it when he noted the
height of present day shoes.
High skirts are bad for the
morals" says Kryzsniak. Women who
have heard of the ordinance have set
up clamorous opposition to it.

Of ten. being uniearned In the Law
of land titles, he Is incapable Of judg-
ing whether or not the abstract shows
perfect title. He must rely upon
the opinion Of an attorney or upon
the guaranty % a tltle-insurance COM
pany. The attorney may be mistaken.
In exceptional cases there may even
be flaws In the title that the abstract
does not show. In any case the at
torney's opinion or the titie-insurance
comDany's guaranty costs considerable
money.
The first feature about a genuine

the state and expressed in q certIfi-
cate so simple that anybody can un-
derstand it.
To describe the system briefly: IT.

son. II IL then registered in that per-
sons name and certificate Of own
ership Issued. When that person
wishes to transfer the land all he need
do is to surrender his certificate, and
a new certificate Is then issued to the
purchaser.
There is no going back OF the cer-
tificate. No discrimination of rec
ords Is necessary. True, claimants to
the title whom the records did not
show may turn up--for example. a
woman who claims to have been a
widow Of grantor: persons who claim
to have been heirs. and 30 on. These
claims may be valid at law. To pro-
vide against them an insurance fund
Is created. Experience in this coun-
try shows that one-tenth of one per
