CLEVER COMEDY
PLAY ENJOYED
Daddy Long Legs Warmly
Received by Large Audi
ence at Orpheum

Daddy Bonglegs." one of the most
delightful plays on the modern stage.
was enjoyed at the Orpheum Theatei
last night by large and appreciauNe
audience. Frequently there was ap-
plause during the acts and at the end
OF each scene the principals We're
called back several times.
Those who do not know the story
should lose no time in reading II. as
the plot is one of unusual charm
1t is brimful of the best kind OF
humor, witty lines, a mysterious little
romance and the touch of pathos to
make il appeal to almost everyone.
While the cast which appeared here
yesterday did not include famous stars
of the stage. each individual did well
and showed real interest and an
apparent pleasure in the parts por-
trayed. Frances Stirling Clarke, as
Judy, the heroine OF the play, and
Edwin Brandt, as JerVis Pendleton,
also Daddy Lohglegs," were the
most warmly received and were ap-
plauded heartily after each act. To
mention the others in the cast and
give an explanation of the parts
would be confusing, and even then
would not he sufficient credit for the
capable handling of the p~vts given
them.
To see q play such as Daddy Long

enjoyed any more. as there are so

Subscription to Liberty
Loan Causes Praise

The district Liberty Loan commit
tee in making public the official
amount and number of subscriptions
to the Second Liberty Loan from the
bank reports explain that the COM
mittee looked for subscriptions
amounting to fifteen per cent. of the
assets of the Harrisburg banks and
ten per cent. of the others" But
the patriotism and cooperation of
the banks was so hearty that ex-
pectations were outdone and no
rTaiso is too high for the county that
so generously answered its coun-
try's call. The total amount con-
trihuted in Harrisburg was 81 242.-
Geo. and the Dauphin county total
ran to Still 400. making a grand
titdl of S6,013,400.

Three New Fire Alarm
Boxes to Be Installed

Three new fire alarm boxes will
be installed in the city within the
next few weeks City Electrician Clark
+. Diehl stated to-day. AS soon as
the supply of cable ordered several
weeks ago, is received, work will be
started placing all the wires in Court
street from Market TO Liberty streets,
underground. When this is being
done one of the new boxes will be
placed at Second and South streets
and connected to the line and the
one at Second and Cranberry streets
will be moved to Second and Locust
streets.
One of the new boxes will be a pri-
vate one to be'placed at the Central
Iron and Steel Company plant and
will only be used for alarms in case
of fire there. The other one will
probably be located at Race and Tus-
Carora streets.

Plan Favored to Induce
Contractors to Bid on
City Refuse Collection

Should City Commissioner Samuel +.
Dunkle readvertise for bids for the
collection and disposal of garbage in
the city after February l, it is under
stood, city officials said to-day, that
each firm bidding will be given the
privilege of submitting specifications
prepared by the company making the
proposal.
While City Council may delay any
action for short time, pending ad-
ditional suggestions from Tribus and
Massa, the New York experts making
a survey of the ash and garbage situa-
tion earlier in the year, it is under
stood the plan to readvertise under
these new, conditions is beiEg consid-
cred seriously. BY adopting this
method the officials said they are
sure more bids will be received, and
il is probable that companies may
submit proposals to dispose of the
garbage after it has been collected
under municipal supervision.

Leaders were under renewed pres

age of a point, offset, however, by
gains of to l 1-2 for Reading, Cam

United States Steel was soon re-
trieved. Liberty Bonds were heavy,

of 9S.S6.
The market rallied during the
duh first hour on the firmer tenden-
cies displayed by Canadian Pacific,
Steels and Marine pfd,, but reacted
sharply when metals began to
weaken, Utah Copper losing three
points. Before noon all the early
strength was lost, leaders in gem

Mrs. Rumsey Writes of Trip and
War Relief Work In Kansas

We hvae just returned from the
Holmes family reunion held in Wich-

thought 1.-THE News" might like to
hear that Kansas 10 very much awake
to the needs Of our soldier boys and
loyal to our Country. Two counties
that we visited had furnished their
quota Of men without resorting to
the draft. and the Liberty Bonds were
over-subscribed by millions. Ladies
with their knitting bags were much
in evidence. and the conservation Of
food and fuel was preached from the
pulpit and taught in the schools.
We visited . branch of the Red
Cross. which held an all day meeting
in the basement the First Presbyter-
ian Church. Here we found at least
nifty busy women making hospital
garments. Their work was praise
worthy. exact In every detail. We al
20 visited head quarters Of the Red
Cross in Wichita. the work was vari-
cd mostly knitting. We were unable
to buy yarn at any price. 30 did not
get started In knitting a. we hoped
too. A sister and cousin from Michi-
gan brought yarn with them and
knitted all the time. when not sight
seeing or otherwise entertained.
Several trips were made to the oil
fields. which by the way are making
Kansas rich.- 1t was our good fortune
to have q young man with US who has
charge Of . Y. N. c. A. Building at
Fort Sill. He was married less than
