Mr. HOLT OF Cumberland: Mr..
President, | move that we reconsider
the vote whereby we voted to indef-
initely postpone House Amendment A
70 House Document No. 457. | make
this motion. Mr.. President and sena-
tors, in order that we may have a full
discussion on this question.
Mr.. DEERlNG of York: Mr. Presi-
dent | do not think, from the number
of these amendments that are coming
along, that there will be any difficulty
in having u full discussion of these
amendments before we get through. l.
notice on looking down the list, when
we got down Il little way. An Act to
extend the charter of the Washington
Light & Power Co is coming up, and
the same amendment is on that par
ticular charter and YOU will find it on
various other bills. and | do not think
at this time we should go to work and
reconsider the action that we have al
ready taken in regard to one company
when there are so many others coming
along that the distinguished senator
from Cumberland county will have
plenty of opportunity to discuss these
will set a day to hear some of these
other cases when he desires to discuss
them I would be perfectly willing OF
have that done, but | do desire at this
time to let this Knox Gas & Electric
Co. amendment, as we have acted up
on it this morning. be indefinitely
postponed l do not think that we can
keep reconsidering things that we do,
and in this particular matter there is
absolutely no reason for reconsidering
it because we have got plenty of other
cases coming along that are exactly
similar | hope the motion of the sena-
tor from Cumberland, Senator Holt,
will not prevail at this time.
Mr. WALKER of Somerset: Mr.
President it seems to me the fact that
the other questions coming along are
similar is one reason why we should
treat this matter precisely as we treat
the others. therefore second the mo-
ton of the senator from Cumberland

GEN. CLEMENT
PRAISES GUARD
Commander of Pennsylvania
Division Pleased With His
Officers and Men

Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ca,
Sept 19.-MaJor General Clement
has left Camp Hancock for his home
In Sunbury, Pa, and Brlgadier GEN
eral William G. Price, Jr,. Is in tenn
porary command OF Pennsylvania s.
twenty eighth army division.
Now that the division is concen-
trated at full strength In the field
and engaged in training. General
Clement obtained a few days leave
OF absence in order that he might
settle business and personal affairs
in Sunbury. He was accompanied by
members of his personal staff.
The general received correspond
entS for the first time and expressed
great satisfaction with the personnel
OF the division, predicting that Penn
sylvania's boys would uphold the
honor of the state and the nation
when they got into the fight in
France.
He expressed the opinion that
Pennsylvania should be proud of the
fact that the Twenty eighth army di-
vision is the first actively engaged in
training in the field. He added that
since the Pennsylvania forces went
to the border last year there had
been a remarkable improvement both
in the caliber and efficiency of the
men.
Mostly New Men
Not more than 90 per cent. of the
personnel of the division, as it is now
constituted, served at the border"
he said. "A great many of the men
who were with us there now hold
commissions, and many others pass
ed out of the service. Companies
then were recruited to about ninety
men. The companies here have about
140 men each. The combatant
strength of the division is approxi-
mately 1895 men. Last Sunday we

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain toe
much alkali, which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this Is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex.
pensive SOAPS or anything else al
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store. and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle or dust. dirt and
dandruff.

He is standing on the deck above

peril. with the hardship, with the
intimacy with death-the English
man is happy. He has found his

London because he did not want to
go to war. He thought lot of life.
Any sacrifice that might take it away
from him was too great.
He Comes to America
Alfred HoSkins climbed steadily
aboard ship and came to America.
He left his two brothers to do the

Boy Has Narrow
Escape From Death
in Fall IF Bridge

After falling from the Mulberry
street bridge a distance of forty feet,
striking a deadly electric light wire
of high voltage and landing head
first on the roof of building beneath
the bridge, Stewart Wire. 11-year-old
son of Mrs. Mamie Wire. 1918 Null
berry street, is living and, according
to authorities at the Harrisburg Hos
pital. is not believed to be seriously
injured.
The boy was playing with a num-
ber of companions about the bridge
last evening. He climbed over the
iron railing and slipped. Unable to
secure hold upon the abutments,
he plunged toward the earth. 1t is
thought that his body came in con-
tact with the wires. One hand shows
evidences of having been burned in
the descent. The boy remembered
nothing until he was being taken to
the hospital.
In striking the roof of tire
building occupied by George w. My
ers the boy suffered decorations of
the head. but no evidences of a frac-
ture have been located.
