e One of the numerous ways in watch

is in tearing up long sections of rail-
way track in the Dominion, to provide
the allied forces on the western front
in Europe with needed transportation
lines, according to the March Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The plan for
collecting the rails, as reported from
Ottawa, contemplated the removal of
some 800 miles of government-rail-
road sidings in the East and also long
stretches of track between Edmonton
and the Pacific coast where two rail-
ways run parallel, the traffic of both
lines to be accommodated on the re-
naming route. The plan, 1t was said,
owed its origin to the British govern
ment, which intimated that prompt
action of this kind would probably
save thousands of lives, and that new
rails could not be obtained because of
the demand Off steel in making mu-
nitions. It was estimated in Ottawa
that over 1000 miles of Canadian
track would be torn up. in response to

CHANGE OF DATE
FOR INAUGURAL
[Continucd From First PageI

President for three hours yesterday,
flags continued to fly from buildings
day and the pillared courts of hon
or with their elaborate decorations
were left standing for the entire in
augural week. The big grand stands
which supplied acres of seats to spec
tators along the line of march. were
naked and empty to-day, and in few
workmen were busy tearing down the
structures, built only for the day.
Wind Plays Havoc
Squads of laborers were set to work
sweeping up the sand which covered
the avenue for the parade, but they
found most already blown away by the
near-gale that buffeted the paraders in
the face yesterday and at times
threatened to blow the moving col
umn to a standStill.
Discussion attendant upon the meet
ing of the Senate to-day served to
sustain interest in President Wilson's
inaugural address, in which he be-
spoke the hope of the United States
to promote peace and democracy as
guiding principles of all nations in the
future.
The first official duty of Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall to-day, following his
inauguration for a second term, was
to preside over the opening business
session of the Senate.
House Is Stubborn
A meeting of the Washington men,
bers of the National Committee on
the change of Inauguration day was
called to-day to consider the ques-
tion of renewing it's request to Con-
gress, begun in 1901, for constitu-
tional amendment changing the date
of the quadrennial event to the last
Thursday in April The principal ar
gument advanced for the change is
that the weather is never danger
Gus" late in April.
The Senate has three times adopted
a resolution changing the inaugural
day to the last week in April, as ad-
vocated by the committee, but each
time the measure has failed to pass
the House. A two-thirds vote of each
House is necessary for adoption of
constitutional amendment.
The committee on inaugural change
includes Governors of the various
states.

entire state was eighty-one years old
to-day, and there was some celebra-
tion" at the Department of Internal
Affairs. When Uncle Henry arrived
at his offioe from his Lebanon home,
he found large floral tributes of roses
and carnations and rare orchids deco
rating the large table in his room,
these from friends all over the State,
and from his family" a handsome
automobillng ways. On his desk were
several hundred letters and throughout
the day kilograms kept dropping in
on him as fast as messenger boys could
get busy, all containing congratula-
tions and wishing the old statesman
many happy returns.
Secretary Houck began his busy life
as school teacher in Lebanon county,
and in 1859 he was made deputy super
intendent of public instruction, holding
that place until 1897, and making the
acquaintance of more educators than
any man in the state.
During the morning many heads of
departments and hundreds of depart
mental attaches called on him with
hearty handshakes and good wishes.
Among the callers was "Star-Spang-
ler" Spangler, of Cumberland, a for
mer member of the House and at pres
ent an attache OF the state Fire Mar
shaPs Department. "Uncle Benny"
challenged Uncle Henry" to mara
thon between Harrisburg and Carlisle
on the day the Legislature adjourns
finally. Among those who visited the
Secretary. who, by the way, is serv-
ing his third term, was a delegation
of newspapermen to whom the states
mans greeting was particularly warm.
You boys have written more nice
things about me than any other men
of the press" said Secretary Houck TO
the newspaper men. They may not all
have been true, but they were all for
the good of the cause" and then he
laughed his rich Lebanon-Valley cachi-
nation that reverberated through the
Capitol corridors like a glad song.

whereabouts of his father and two

knows nothing of the contents of the
letters sent to Germany, but believes
he told all that he know about what
was going on in the United States.
Federal officers who are looking

whether he was acting on the advice
of any person from his native coun-

HOW TO REMOVE
WRINKLES
A Simple. Safe and Reliable Way


Those who have become prematurely
wrinkled, whether from trouble, worry
or i'll health, know full well the price,
less treasure they have lost. There is
no need. however. of any woman in
juring her chances of social or. finan-
cial success by carrying around these
marks. OF time: Neither IS It neces-
beauty specialist. Right in your own
home and without tiresome massage or
face steaming you can remove your
wrinkles and bring back to your cheeks
the rosy bloom of girlhood.
Simply get a little am-o-nized cocoa
from your druggist and after washing
your face with warm water apply this
as you would an ordinary cold cream
leave on for few minutes and then
wipe off with a soft dry cloth. You will
be delighted to see how it brightens up
the skin, clears the complexion and
ersses the wrinkles, lines and crows

nourishment the skin requires to keep
it pink and healthy. Besides It gives
to the complexion that fresh and

ship is entitled by international law
to receive before being torpedoed, a
general warning to all vessels not to
enter barred zones cannot be accepted
by this government.
Cannot Agree to Note
Neither is the United States dispos-
ed to permit establishment by Austria
of rule that war on the sea involv-
ing reprisals is IAN affair for settle
ment between belligerents" when the
interests. rights and lives of neutrals
are affected.
d, Another portion of the communica-
ton which undoubtedly will not meet
with the approval of the United States
is that having to do with defensively
armed merchant ships. Austria's as
sertion that her previous assurances
did not apply to armed merchant ves-
sells was received with some surprise.
The broad declaration that armed
merchantmen "are to be regarded as
pirate vessels, which may be destroy
ed" was regarded as being especially
significant in view of the intentions of
the United States regarding armament
for its merchant shipping.
Break Not Wanted
Notwithstanding the .perpleXity Gre
ated in the minds of officials with q
portion of the Austrian argument the
extreme reluctance felt here for q
break with Germanys chief ally and
the fact that Austria also does not de-
sire it, will assure the note a most
friendly reading and every effort will
be made to harmonize the relations of
the two governments if it can be done
without surrender by either.
Officials here have felt throughout
that a break with Austria would serve
little purpose and do much harm. A
break with Austria probably would be
followed by one with Bulgaria and
Turkey, jeopardizing American inter-
ests in those countries.
