School teachers, doctors and

points-that the child needs

drink shouldn't be coffee.
Postum fills the need admir-
ably and its very extensive

Ask Violet Oakley to Plant
Paintings For Penn-Harris

Miss Violet Oakley. the distinguished
painter, who has done so much ad-
mirable work for the Capitol here, has
been approached regarding the paint
ing of six panels for the Penn Harris
Hotel. President Wallower, who is in
terested in the matter, has suggested
as tentative subjects the burning of
John Harris at the stake and his res
cue by the Indians, the Indian council
on the Susquehanna opposite the
mouth of the Conodoguinet creek. the
old Harrisburg bridge and lumber raft
or potato ark, the Gap at Rockville.
showing the Susquehanna river with
Indians in bark canoes, the famous
scene Of PENIS treaty with the In
dians and the old Conestoga wagon
or drove of sheep and cattle crossing
the island, taken from the camelback
bridge.
These paintings will give an unusual
character to the new hotel and it is
hoped Miss Oakley may find time dur
ing the year TO provide the panels sug-
gested by Mr.. Wallower.

PLAN TO GIVE
PRESIDENT POWER
TO SEIZE R. RS.
Supplement 10 Adamson Law
Also Provides Investigation of
transportation Troubles

washington, ID. c., Feb. 10. - After
many weeks consideration the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee late
yesterday approved and reported to
the Senate II bill to supplement the
Adamson Railroad l&w, providing for
investigation of controversies on COM
mon carriers and giving the President
authority to take over railroad, tele-
graph and telephone lines in times of
military necessity.
There is no prohibition in the meas
ure against the right to strike or lock-
out to which the railroad brotherhoods
have vigorously objected, but there is
a provision to prevent obstruction of
the mails or of interstate commerce.
Chairman Newlands expects to call
the Dill up as soon as possible. 1t is
much like that introduced in the
House earlier in the week and may be
passed at the present session.
Best Under Conditions
IL is expected to meet the views of
the administration. since 1t has be-
come apparent that a more stringent
bill virtually would have no chance
or getting through before adjourn
ment.
Under the terms of the bill, when
the present Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Board fails to settle a
railroad labor controversy, the Presi-
dent shall enlarge the board by the
addition of one representative of the
carriers and one of the men. The en-
larged boards report shall be made
within three months and contain rec
concentrations according to the mer-
It's and substantial justice of the case"
which shall be published.
The prohibition section makes it q
misdemeanor punishable with six
months imprisonment for any person
who knowingly and wilfully by phys
ical force, or threats, or intimidation,
obstructs or retardS the passage of the
United States mail or the orderly
movement of interstate or foreign
commerce, or the makeup or disposi-
ton of any train.
May Take Wires and Men
The military necessity section pro-
videS that in case of actual or threat
ened war, insurrection or invasion. or
any emergency requiring the transpor-
tation of troops, military equipment
and supplies of the United States, "'
the President, when the public safety
requires, may take possession of ne
cessary parts of telegraph or telephone
lines and railroads and draft their Off
GERS and employees into the Federal
service. Any damage sustained in this
connection would be assessed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Any person refusing to be drafted
or who Injuries or destroys such prop
erty, or interferes with it's use when
in Federal hands, would be subject to
five years Imprisonment.
