LEAGUE WANTS
MORE BUILDING
Scarcity of Homes and Even
Boardinghouses Becoming
Acute Here

So acute has the demand for
boarding places and private residences
in Steelton since the recent boom in
the steel business become that the
Municipal League at it's next meeting
will likely attempt to find some plan
for meeting the situation.
a canvass of boarding houses in
the past few days by u number of men
who came here to work at the Penn
sylvania steel plant did not discover a
single desirable place available and
the men were forced to go out of
town to live. it is said.
Conditions similar to these have
existed for some time with regard to
private residences, real estate men
say. In fact at the present time it is
said there is not single house for
rent in the borough. The owner of a
new house, the only one to be built
in the borough in months, not yet
completed has been beseiged by more
than a score of prospective tenants,
according to a real estate man this
morning.
Just what the Municipal League can
do to remedy these conditions is hard
TO say but steps will likely be taken
TO induce investors to turn their at
tention to Steelton for building pur-
poses.

Drop in Temperature Keeps
Pennsy Trackmen on Duty

The big drop in temperature last
night kept the Pennsylvania Railroad
track foremen busy. They had their
labor forces on duty all night, fearing
o. tie-up as a result of snowdrifts and
freezing up of switches. No trouble
was reported on the main line outside
of belated schedules due to late con-
nections from the West at Pittsburgh.
On the Northern Central line be-
tween Rockville and Williamsport and
on the Lewistown and Sunbury branch
heavy snowdrifts in the cuts from four
to six feet deep were reported.
At midnight reports indicated seri-
Gus trouble and the emergency cars,
twenty in number, were put in readi-
ness for service at Sunbury. These
cars, rebuilt from old Pullman sleep
ing cars, were constructed for the ac.
commodation of extra trackmen who
are required to be on duty along the
various divisions during snowstorms
and other trouble. They were not
needed, as the regular forces kept the
road open.

GERMANS AGAIN
PAUSE In ATTACK
GContinued From First Pagc.J

ening in the intensity of the lombard
ment has been reported.
Apparently there is anticipation on
the part of the French that the next
German move may be made to the
southeast of the fortress. in a nanking
operation, as the French guns have
been extremely active along the heights
of the Meuse overlooking the Woevre
plain.
To-day's German official conforms
with that from Paris as to the un-
changed situation north of Verdun.
Its text, however, apparently indicates
that possession of Dead Mans Hill on
which the Germans yesterday report
ed an advance, is claimed by the Ger
man War Office. The statement speaks
of further attempts by the French Ito
dispute our possession oft he height
of lie Homme Mort dead Mani and
our positions in the wood to the north.
These attempts are declared to have
failed.
Apart from the Verdun region,
there has been little infantry activity
on the western front except in the
Champagne. There the French made
several attacks on the German posi-
ton near st. Souplet, west of the
Souain-Somme-Py road which Berlin
claims were without success, the
French losing more than $50 men
taken prisoners, besides two machine
guns.

To Make the Hair Appear
LuStrOus and Beautiful

Abigail Moore, the noted beauty au-
thority. says, The hair is a register
of the physical condition. Cleanliness
and message, as we'll as careful comb
ing and brushing are most important.
Many women seemingly do not real
ize the necessity of keeping the hair
and scalp absolutely clean in order
to look their best at all times. And
yet, with only few minutes OF easy
massage, the hair may be brought to
beautiful, thick, lustrous luXuriance,
and that at very little cost.
Just try these few simple directions
to-day: Into the palm of the hand
pour little Partisan Sage; thoroughly
wet the hair near the scalp with it and
then rub vigorously until a soft tingl-
ing sensation comes stealing over the
head. Do this regularly for a few
days and occasionally wet your brush
with the tonic and gently brush out
the hair-you will surely be pleasantly
surprised at the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is obtain
able from II. c. Kennedy or any first
class drug store and is always sold
on an absolute guarantee that it is free
from dangerous chemicals and that it
must give satisfaction to the user or
the money paid will be returned. 1t
