old Timers SAY
JULY IS HOTTEST
IN Fifteen YEARS
OLD SOL LITERALLY BURNS WAY
THROUGH PAST 30 DAYS AND
BREAKS ALL RECORDS.

The record of temperature for the
month of July surpasses anything for
the past fifteen years, say the old
timers who recall the hot spell of
1901, when the whole Mississippi val
ley sweltered through almost two
months of weather that WAS weather.
In that eventfUI year the thermOm-
eter stood at log every day and fell
at least two degrees at night. Shirt
waists came into fashion for the men
and a near rebellion occurred at many
heightened restaurants when the mere
men objected to wearing coats and
were summarily elected for being i'm
modest.
So. while this year has been all that
the most cooI-blooded person could
ask. the old timers recall 1901, and in
bated breath talk of 1893 which COM
bined hard times with a torridity that
surpasses human expression. No
more eighteen and ninety-threes' if
you please.
Getting back to 1916 we find that the
lowest maximum recorded at Lancas-
ter was 81 on the 18th. The lowest
minimum occurred on the 9th when
the records show a temperature of "a
although no one seems to recall it.
Maybe someone played a joke on
the thermometer, and put chunk of
ice in that night.
1t rained during the mOnth-yes, it
did-traces of it coming on the 3rd,
the 22nd and 23rd On the 10Th when
the Herald advertised for rain, 50 of
an inch came down, but the ground
was so .dry that it merely wet the
dust. There were "a days of unabat-
ed sunshine during the month which
would be good for even Colorado or
New Mexico. The cloudy or partly
cloudy days were: 3rd, 14th, 22nd,
23rd, oath and 31st.

Neil O'Bricn NIintrcIs

Neil O'Brien, heading his own Great
American Minstrels. which come to
the Orpheum Tuesday matinee and
evening, is the cause of weeping and
wailing in the home of an Ethiopian
gentleman who during his working
hours is a waiter.
The other day Neil walked into the
restaurant where the aforesaid col
ored gentleman is employed and said
to him: Bring me some eggs l
want one fried on one side and one
on the other" The waiter salaamed
and disappeared. In a few minutes
he was back. Beg pahdon, sab,
said he, but how did YOU want those
eggs Cooked?" Il want two eggs
fried, one on one side and one on
the other" said Neil slowly and dis
tinctly.
Once more the duslly son of toll
walked away, stayed ten minutes and
then came back puzzled and apollo
getic. Nah Gawd, sab, l cant make
that thick headed coon out in the
kitchen understand how YOU want
those eggs, nohow. Won't you tell me
once more?" Two eggs, fried. one
on one side and one on the other"
again repeated Neil. and once more
the waiter went away. In n few
minutes he was back, with his collar
torn. neclItie missing and signs of gore
on his desolate countenance. Say,
boss" he said sadly, ''yo'll have to
have dem eggs boiled, l can't get them
fried thata way nohow.'

The career of AMT, Stewart, the IA

sonality is known To every moving

motion picture history for the rapid
rise of a mere schoolgirl into nation
the screen. While still in her early
teens Miss Stewards Cainty, flower-iike

" sought by prominent New York ar
lists as model for art calendars and
magazine subjects, and it was her
growing reputation n this line that
brought about her selection as n likely
candidate for high honors in FINLAND.
Miss Stewart attributes her success
10 the early training received under
Ralph Ince, her brotheT-in-law and
director of the Nitagraph Company
whose careful attention to the funda-
mental training of his charming little
proteGe gave her every opportunity to
master the inner secrets OF acting be-
fore the camera.
Miss Stewards initial triumph was in
the role of ''The Wood Violet" an al
Turing part that was dear. to her heart,
so dear in fact that at the recent Kit

There isn't going to be anything lef
unexplained in Harrisburg after next
week. Every mystery that ever both
cred anybody's brain is going to he
cleared. If anything has been puzzlng
you for a week or a year or life
time there is no further need to worry,
for answers to any and all queries are
going to be free as the air all next
week. That is. of course, as free as the
air in the Majestic theater, for you've
got to buy a theater ticket in order 10
get your answer. If you don't it will
go over your head.
It's just like this, gentle reader
Leona Lamar is coming to the popu-
lar vaudeville house for the first three
days of the week. You don't know
who Leona Lamar is? Why she is
"the girl with thousand eyes" Think
of it-a girl with q thousand eyes!
Two of them are right where yours

Immediately into the inside of your
own head and see what you are think
ing about.
Leona calls this mental telepathy.
You can call it that. or second sight,
or anything YOU want to--anyway she
can do it, she admits it. And she
goes farther, she answers the question
that you are thinking. She tells
where lost friends or lost pocketbooks
or lost umbrellas can be located; she
tells all about the war and what is
going to happen in Mexico; she looks
into your past or your future and re-
veals all, so step right up this way

will use her 99S eyes to find the an

1t was Leona who startled Broad
way by telling in advance Just what
happened at the Willard Moran fight,
and she's coming to Harrisburg pre-
pared to do some startling things here.
During her stay in Harrisburg there
will be one matinee set apart for la 4
dies only when they can ask any
question they want to without mere
man getting a look in at the reply.

You are neutral. Granted. But you
are not unwilling to hear both sides
of an argument even though neutral
ity may be your watchword, are you?
Very well. Would you be interested
in hearing a good bit about the Ger
man invasion of Belgium and the
lighting and the atrocities in that
country from the rather pretty lips
of a young Belgian actress, one who
was there and saw it all? Who
wouldn't!
Mile. Philippine Artois, whose quaint
photograph is here given. will give an
illustrated lecture in the Technical
High School auditorium next Thurs
day evening, April 6, under the aus
pices of the Red Cross committee of
Harrisburg. 1t is understood that all
the receipts. over and above the eX-
penses of Mile. Artois, will be given
to the Belgian Relief Fund, which is
proof positive that the pretty and
capable little stage artist is patriot
and a humanitarianist.
This young lady of the mellifluous
name submitted very graciously to be-
ing interviewed and talked interest
ingly on the Belgian situation. You
Americans" she said, have but to
make your appearance in Belgium
and the Belgians will give you the
most cordial reception il has ever been
your lot to receive. If you are an
American, that's enough. The Belgians
have a national feeling of love for all
Americans by reason of their kindness
in time of trouble, and as for Brand
whitlock, the American ambassador
to Belgium, he is idolized, his picture
is in nearly every home" said Mile.
Artois.
And then she gave her own opinion
of the atrocities that have been gem
orally attributed to the Germans, and
her version seemed to put somewhat
of a different light on things, at least
for the interviewer. She told of the
antagonism that had existed before
the war between the socialist party,
which is in the minority. and the
clergy, the Catholics, who are in power
with the government. 1t seems that
the opinion is held by many that the
many priests who were murdered may
have been the victims not of the
Germans but of the radical and un-
principled element of the socialist
party, cleverly anticipating that two
birds would be killed with one stone
in that public opinion would place
the blame on the Germans, who it was
generally known were on the point of

What Have You Found
