Cut Out Useless Labor

More and more the contest resolves itself into a
struggle of labor forces. The efficient mobilization of
labor is the secret of Germanys power. We may have
more workers than Germany, but if they are not work
ing at the war the figures are not relevant. Every day
and hour spent at nonessential work is a concession to
Germany and means a prolongation of the war, more
lives, more treasure. Every piano made, every pleas
ure automobile manufactured, every gallon of gasoline
uselessly consumed is a loss of labor and a prolonga-
ton OF the war. 1t was recently stated that if the con-
sumption OF gasoline in Joy riding in the eastern part
OF the country could be cut SO per cent. 10000 tons of
shipping now carrying oil could be released to carry
wheat to France. The example could be multiplied a
hundred-fold.
How long shall we refrain from mobilizine our
vast labor resources-til losses and misery compel it,
or in time to- bring about an end? Shall we be deaf
and blind to the lessons which England so earnestly
endeavors to press upon us, or shall we learn only by
the lesson of necessity forced slowly on us? This is
really the vital question of the war. There must be a
survey and census of all our labor, a cessation of nom
essential work, a redistribution of labor resources on a
vast and yet unthought-of scale. Our leaders must
grasp this fact; if they are unable to do SO the people
for their own sake must force the Ser

Breaking the Pinate''

Not until after the religious service
In the cathedral does the real Christ
mas dancing and feasting begin in the
City of Mexico. One of the curious Gus
toms is The breaking of pinates. says a
Mexican writer in the New York Sun.
The pinate is a very brittle earthen
ware pot or vessel. usually gay In color
aud Of various shapes. These pinates
are sometimes modelled and dressed to
represent a clown, a ballet dancer, an
nigel, almost anything your fancy
might conceive. Into the pinate are
stuffed the small favors of the Christ
mas season, such as candies. peanuts.
~laabreakable toys and little silver al
ticles.
Swinging high in the well lit court
yard of the Mexican home, the game
Is for the children to reach up and
break the pinate. Parents and chill
dren all gather under it. Each one is
blindfolded and given a long Stick,
placed under the pinate, turned round
three times and told to strike at 1t.

smash 1t, and as the innumerable
things tumble to the ground there Is a
general scramble for them.
This ceremony takes the place of
the Christmas tree, which Is purely
a fiesta for the children. After the
children have been sent to bed we who
are grown up enjoy a typical Christ
mas supper. 1t is usually a feast of
fish, salads. sweets and wine. Dancing
on well waxed floors to the music of
a stringed orchestra follows.
Around the sala. or dancing room, on
tables are placed costly gold and gilt
ornaments. These might be analogous
to your cotillion %favors. except that
they are bestowed on everybody. 1t
is long after midnight. far into the
dawn of Christmas day, when the
dancing Is over and the guests, loaded
with little gifts. depart.

two days. Yesterday over 500 visit
ors were present and nearly double
that number walked through the
three cars of the train and attentive

showed the different methods that
are suggested in conserving the food
of the country.
Col. j. S. Foster who is in charge
of the tour spoke very highly of the
response that the women of this
vicinity have made, and the manner
in which they have sought the ad-
vice of those in charge. A commit

to Colonel Foster has rendered in
valuable aid. He also stated that

SCHOOL CHILDREN
HELP BOOST WAR
LIBRARY FUND
Lincoln Forges Ahead With
$50; Other Buildings Are
Big Contributors

Miss Alice r. Eaton, head of the
local War Library Campaign, is very
much disappointed with the small
total of Harrisburg's contribution
which totals but S1,737.10. OF this
amount, nearly $3.50 was contributed
by schoolchildren, who have been
very active in soliciting contribu-
tions.
Contributions received since yes
terday's statement. are: Arthors
Club, $50; employees o fthe Harris
burg Light and Power Company, SIS;
Second school district, STATS; the
Rev. Lewis S. Nudge, So; Thomas T.
Wierman, $40; Story League. S31.S5;
OheV Sholem Sisterhood, So; Carl
Eby, $40; David Kaufman, $5; Paul
Johnston, $40.
OF the million dollar fund which
is being contributed by the nation,
$350,000 has been contributed by the
Carnegie Foundation. Miss Eaton
deeply appreciates the energy of the
schoolchildren who are enthusiastic
over the fund. One little boy bitter
ly regretted the absence of his father
who would give him the. money to
help the soldiers read. The Lin
coin building was the blue ribbon
contributor, with $50; Vernon build
ing contributed $11.49; Forney build
ing, $11.31; Woodward building
1921; Allison building. $S and the
Downey building, $4.74.
National headquarters has report
ed that SS50,000 of the fund has al
ready been received, and the deficit
is confidently expected to be made
good before Saturday.

Asking Search of Camp

Gettysburg. Pa, Oct. 4. That
there must be u large number of
men in the United States Army who

them beyond doubt enlisting under

large number of letters received at

in an effort to find some trace of the
missing ones.
Scores of these letters are received
each week and have been coming in
since the camp opened, and Post
master Duncan and his clerks have
taken great pains to do all in their
power to find the loved ones want
ed. The task has been a great one,
but not one of the requests has been
left go unnoticed.
In many cases boys who had not
written to their parents for weeks,
months or even years, have been in
duced to write to the home folks,
telling them the many things they
are anxious to know.

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.
