State highways traversing the Cum
berland valley. This hotel will be on
the Lincoln highway and the William
Penn and Penn Lin will have similar
establishments soon.
Ever since he ha sheen in Olive
Governor Brumbaugh has urged the

So popular was the big Store Fam
the Globe Clothing House last evening
that Benjamin Strouse decided that the
cold weather picnic idea was so pleas
ing that he would have one each month
until the warm summer season.
The dinner lase evening had all the
earmarks of a regular picnic in the
woods. The surprise of the evening
was the distribution by Mr.. Strouse
of more than $1,000 in bonuses to the
clerks and salespeople as their share in
the seasons profits and as reward for
faithful service.
The dinner was rather more elabor-
ate than the usual picnic one. The
wide floor spaces also provided plenty
of room afterward for dancing.
Mr.. StTouse explained that the sue
cess of a business organization de-
pended largely on the spirit of co.
operation. He added that a business
also should have its social side. A
number of speakers followed with brief
talks on various subjects of interest.

PAIL OF DARKNESS OVER PHILA
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, March l. - The dark
ness of midnight hung over Philadel-
phia for several hours to-day. 1t was
so dark that the city officials deemed
it advisable to turn on all the city arc
lamps at noon. Many places not pro-
vided with illumination were forced
to suspend work. The Weather Bu-
reau said the phenomenon was due to
low-hanging clouds heavily laden with
moisture and the absence of wind TO
blow them away. The air was so
heavy and still that smoke and steam
barely rose above the tops of build
ingS.

"The Crisis"-Riinu

Winston Churchill's greatest story,
 The Crisis made into wonderful photoplay, the attraction at the Bijou this week, continues to please large and ap- preciative audiences. It tells the story of fascinating romance of love and loyalty with plenty of stirring scenes and situa- tions in it's portrayal. While not a war play it deals with the civil war period and some of the most history making events of the war between the states are enacted, including a marvellous re- production of the siege of Vicksburg, in which thousands of men took part.
 One of the strong features of the photo play is the cast of stars seen in the leading roles. It is a cast that was se- lected after months of patient care and every character is portrayed by an ex- ceptionally capable actor of the type rep resented. There will be two performances every day this week.

Cleveland, O., February H-(SpecialD The Iron Trade Review today says;
 The iron and steel industry is suffering acutely from traffic paralysis, but the trouble lies with the American railroads rather than on the high seas.
