MAY DO AWAY WITH LIGHTS
Possible Tho Sons T'r1c in the Future
Ships Will Get Theirs From
the Wireless.

The French government is about
to establish a system Of what mari
ners call blind lighthouses. This
revolution in maritime signaling
consists in the use Of Hertzian waves,
and it is believed it will prove of far
more lasting value than lights, since
it is equally effective in foggv
weather, when the usual lights cal-
not be seen. Indeed, some experts
look forward to the gradual extinc-
ton Of coast lights and expect that
ships will soon get their bearings
from the ticking of wireless re-
ceivers. The great difficulty to be
overcome is that of establishing di-

McCaleb to Direct Coal
Distribution in State

To prevent boarding of coal and to
cquallze the distribution will be the
task of William B. McCaleb, formerly
superintendent of the Philadelphia
Division, of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and now superintendent of
water lines of that road, who has just
been appointed transportation adviser
TO State Fuel Administrator william
Potter, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Potter
found that the coal scarcity was be-
coming so critical a problem that it
was necessary to have some one thor
oughly acquainted with the lines of
transportation. Appealing to the
Pennsylvania Railroad, George ID.
Dixon, vice ce-president, recommended
Mr.. McCaleb.
As the situation stands now, some
places are practically in the grip of
coal famine, while other places are
well supplied. Again, it is q notorious
fact that many dealers and heavy
consumers have boarded great stores
of coal, to the misfortune of others,
who could not afford to lay in sup
plies. Mr.. McCaleb's particular work
will be confined to directing the trans
portation of coal, getting it shipped
promptly when the Fuel Administra-
tor ascertains where the need is
keenest.

There are no new applications filed,
this being the first time in many

places.
Three of the 1917 applications were
for hotels in the county which the
court refused to license last January
and for which no application was
made this year for licenses. The re-
vocations were for violations of the
liquor laws. The hotels in question
were the Hotel. Auditorium and the

FAMOUS DANCERS
ARRIVE IN CITY
Pantomime to Tell Whimsical
Story, after the
War"

Madame Olive Roshanara, the
beautiful Anglo-Indian dancer who.
with her company of thirty people,
will be the attraction at the Or
pheum tomorrow, matinee and
evening, arrived in Harrisburg last
evening and in the day off the dis
tinguished entertainer roamed about
our busy burg" comparing 1t with
Rangoon, Mandalay and London.
Roshanara wound up her tour of
the metropolis with the invasion Of
n lunch room where you wait on
yourself" and much to the amaze
ment and curiosity of a couple dozen
regulars she finally gave up the
task in CONSERVATION. When they
found out that she was one of the
premier dancers of the world every
body hurried to lend her hand and
so Madame thinks well of Harris
burg's geniality.
The entertainment of tomorrow
will be something unique in Har-
risburg, a dancing program quite
uncommon. Born in India, Madame
Roshanara. a tall, graceful brunei,
very young, made her first hit as
principal character dancer with
Diaghilew, the Russian, in Covent
America she she gathered a COM
pany of her own which had great
success in New York and Boston.
Among the features of the show, in
particular, the spectators have been
interested in her live jewelry in the
shape of golden bronze serpents
which coil about her arms and body
while she dances. And then the
costumes are indeed rare. one being
n gift from wife of the famous
King of Thebaw, celebrated in Kip
ling's poetry.
There is nothing heavy or dra-
matte in the program of the
Roshanara entertainment There
are many folk dances, one per-
formed by clever French and Bel
gian girls who in pantomime tell
n whimsical story called "After the
War" Among the single attractions
is the famous Japanese dancer,
Itow, and the American. Thomas L.
Rector. The music is furnished by
a special orchestra, trained for
months by Mr.. Breel. The stage set
ting is the outcome of Madame
Roshanara's observations in the
Orient that light and color has it's
effct on the happiness of human
beings.
