Face the Facts, Start
Today to Think
and Save.

1t is high time we Americans are
facing the serious problems that con-
front each one of us. 1t matters not
whether your wages are $40 a week or
$1,000 a week. Though our beloved
country is not at war with arms, the
fact is we are paying the war bills
and so long as that war lasts the price
of butter you eat and bread you spread
it on, the clothes you wear to keep
you warm and shoes to protect your
feet are going to be high in price, and
the longer it lasts the higher every
thing you eat and wear will go. So
the only one thing is left for us to do
is to do just what they in Europe
have been compelled to do, is to cut
out extravaganza in eating and in
dress. 1t can't last long, people
starving in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago and we in Harrisburg
living on top of the pile. 1t will
sooner or later reach to our doors in
Harrisburg.
The tremendous wastes all over the
world, the eXtravagances of our Am
erican habit of living on seemingly
war prosperity is bound to cause
scarcity and higher prices.
AS a Shoe Merchant l see this. Pay
ing a weeks wages for pair of fancy
shoes that have not the wearing quail
ties of a good neat black shoe that
costs one-fourth as much is money
thrown away that we will sadly need
for butter, eggs, bread and meat.
AS sellers of Shoes, we sell what
the people want, of course. but 1t
makes me sick at heart to have to buy
and sell a pair of shoes for S5 or So
that have not 81 worth of wear in
them.
To-day we are selling one-half our
shoes for less than it costs to make
them, yet we will not advance a price
until our stock of over 100000 pairs
are sold and we are compelled to go
into the open market and pay more
than we are selling the same shoes for
to-day.
beseech you, spender of money, to
pause and give serious thought to
what you buy, as to whether it's the
best you can get for wear and service,
whether you buy in any one of our
25 stores or outside.

COUNT ZEPPELIN.
ARSHIP PIONEER.
DIES IN GERMANY
Inventor of Great Dirigible
Made His First Flight in
United States

Berlin, March Count Ferdinand
Zeppelin, builder of the worlds first
practical dirigible balloon, died yester-
day at Charlottenburg, near here, of
pneumonia. He was 70 years old.
Count Zeppelin became famous at
20 as builder of the first practical diri-
glble balloon. On his 18th birthday he
navigated his twentieth airship to cele-
brate the occasion. But before he had
achieved fame he had devoted a half
century of his life, exhausted his per-
sonal fortune of $75O,0OO and sacri-
hced brilliant career as German
cavalry leader, in conquering the air.
emperor William, in 1914, pro-
! claimed Count Zeppelin to be "the
greatest German of the twentieth CEN
tury." As a token of appreciation he
| conferred upon him the exalted Order
of the Black Eagle, the highest honor
in the Emperor's power.
Flew First in United States
IL was in the United States that
Count Zeppelin made his first balloon
ascension. 1t occurred while he was
following General Carl Schurz in the
Civil War as a military observer for
the German army. A captive balloon
IN use for military observations by
Union troops greatly interested the
young German officer, and he was
ldheH up III IL IN 1868.
a generation before Kitty Hawk and
the Wright brothers, the plodding
zealot, deaf to scoffers, was convinced
that he was on the right track. Ten
years after his retirement from army,
IN 1890, he saw the first fruits of his
iabors. Already his shops at Frieder-
lchshafen had assumed vast propor-
tlons, and his private fortune, con-
SIDERABLE in amount, had wellnigh
been exhausted.
Thirty-Mile Flight
On Sunday, July l, 1900, his first
aerial leviathan was hauled from it's
shed on the shore of Lake Constance
ana made a successful trip of more
than thirty miles.
1t was not until eight years later.
however. that the possibilities of his
enterprise began to dawn on Germany.
In 1908 he made many trips, one of
them involving stay of thirty-seven
hours in the air. After that Zeppelin
built many airships. Many of them
came to tragic ends in gales or flames,
but the inventor continued, and OBJ
tanned the support of the government
Within four years there were dis
turDing rumors of giant aircraft that
scared over France and even England
Count Zeppelin began to talk with con-
hdence of his transatlantic trip, and
vast dirigible was built for polar ex-
ploration.
Then came the war, and the raids
on England. There were reports
never warranted by statements from
the inventor-that he had become a
fanatic on the invasion of England by
air.

Asks For Donation of
Clothing For Mission

An appeal to the generosity of the
people of Harrisburg has been made
by John Fulton, superintendent of
Bethesda Mission, 1919 South Second
street, in his effort to provide cloth
ing for the men who are quartered at
the missions lodging house.
Shoes and underclothes are the
most badly needed articles. The de-
mand for clothing has been heavy re-
Gently owing to the large number of
men who have applied to the mission
for aid. Superintendent Fulton places
every jobless man who comes to the
mission, and the deserving ones who
are in immediate need of shoes and
clothing are fitted out. The mission
looks after these men, keeping a close
supervision over them until they
make good"
