sTIEGLER SHOWS SYMPATHY.
Board of Trade Secretary Provides
Nourishment for Stranger.

just recently a stranger strolled
stealthily into the board OF trade
rooms.
Shying one look at the secretary ;
sprouting mustache, which, by tn"
way, few have noticed, he assumed 4
seat near the desk.
Inference was that the new conner
was fatigued, as he breathed heavily
and had every appearance OF having
beth up against unfavorable condi-
tons.
Although nothing was said about it
the genial "sec' was led to believe
that the newcomer was hungry, too
just then Herbert was called from
the room moment
Upon his return the visitor had van
ished.
Some time later he was found asleep
in the basement of the town hall
'Stieg then talked like a father
to SON and finally concluded that the
little one was deserving of help and
proceeded TO procure some refresh
ments.
After these had been taken care OF
there was further desire to sleep and
rest, which permission was granted,
and furthermore the secretary pro-
~ided a pillow for his guest on the
basement floor.
Next day there was more life 10 the
little fellow and he acted quite at
home.
Ever since he has been given three
meals day and assured Of a place to
bunk
In fact he has been adopted and is
now known as the 'board of trade
kitten. -

NO TICKET TAX
FOR COMMUTERS
Eight Per Cent. Excess on All
Trips Over Thirty-six
Miles

Commuters who live within SO
miles of Harrisburg will not be af-
fected by the new war tax of eight
per cent on passenger tickets, it was
announced at the Pennsylvania sta
tion this morning. The war tax goes
into effect November /
THE day for pleasure travelling is
past" said a Pennsylvania Railroad
official to-day. Persons who ride
on trains now do so because of busi-
ness necessity and If the Government
passed law which would double the
rate of transportation, railroad bust
ness would not decrease one iota.
Persons living within a radius of
36 miles are exempt" he continued.
THE law taxing passenger tickets
eight per cent applies to tickets Gov
ering distance of SO consecutive
miles or over. Pullman tickets VIII
be taxed 10 per cent. Under the new
of three cents a 100 pounds, regard

After November l, it was said, n
traveller purchasing a ticket for New
York, Philadelphia or other points
over SO miles distant, will be charged

ticket will be stamped war tax paid.
If the ticket is bought before No
vember 1, and is good for return pas
sage, 1t will not be stamped, but if
used after November l, the war tax

Accounting System Shows Ac-
curate Records of Movement
of Each Locomotive

The demand for motive power is
now so great that every effort must
be made to keep 1t working effec-
lively a maximum percentage OF the
time. One of the largest sources Of
delay is at the terminal, and any
means by which this delay can be
analyzed and corrected will serve to
increase the total locomotive supply
The Pennsylvania uses a form for
collecting this information, which
shows the movement of locom olive
from the time it arrives at terminal
until 1T leaves. BY this means the
movement of each locomotive and
the average movement of each of n
locomotives through a terminal is
readily determined. The perform
ance may be analyzed and the work
of various terminals checked.
Conditions Differ.
Conditions, of course, will vary at
different engine terminals, which
makes the comparison of one ter
minal with another difficult; but
where a locomotive seems to spend
too much time either in the hands of
the mechanical or the transportation
department, a positive record of Just
what has transpired is at hand, and
opens the way for a satisfactory in
vestigation.
This information is usually
gathered by the clerk at the round
house, who keeps the enginemen's re-
ports. At large terminals, separate
sheets may be used for locomotives
in each kind of service, such rs
passenger, freight and work or shift
ing.
Each day report is in the hands
of the superintendent of motive
power early the next morning, witt
the averages determined, so that h,
is able to get a general plea of eaCl
terminal under his jurisdiction.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes u
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold
! creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
! blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
! tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and massage
1t daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften. freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. IT
is simply marvellous to smoother

Movies Will Cost
More After Monday

AS a result of the war tax which
becomes effective soon. and the gen.
eral increase in the cost of doing
business, the motion picture theaters
of this city will increase prices be-
ginning Monday of next week, it was
announced last night.
Under the new schedule of prices,
the general admission price will be
fifteen cents. Children will be charged
ten cents. Patrons will not be re-
quired to pay the war tax of two
cents per ticket under the new plan.
According to theater managers, the
tax imposed by the government is
but one of the items of expense which
has been steadily mounting. Pro-
ducers are required to pay footage
tax, and this increase must be passed
on to those who patronize the
shows.
Even had there been no war tax
legislation, moving picture houses
would be required to increase prices,
declared one manager to-day I'VE
pay almost as much for one days
pictures as we formerly paid for o
weeks films. Harrisburg is one OF
the last towns in the state to in
crease prices. Philadelphia is now
charging 25 to 40 cents for the same
pictures we are showing in this city
at the present time" was the state
ment.
