One of the unusual numbers Of
fered at the Majestic this part OF
the week is Orville Stamm in his
weight-defyiug acts of strength. Mr..
Stamm. who is a former physical IN
structor Of aviation of the submar-

combination of strength and grace.
His performance carries with it an
air of clean sportsmanship. Holding
a piano on your chest whilel someone
sits on the stool and plays is no
everyday occurrence in Harrisburg.
Neither is playing a violin with n
sixty-fve pound dog dangling from
your right arm. But both of these

A.r Stamm.
The Copps Family, the juvenile
stars in their variety of songs, dances
and instrumental music exhibits a

is shown in gestures, stage etiquette
and the other matters that go to
make up successful performance be-

OF PineX, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain granulated sugar syrup,

full pint of really better cough syrup
than you could buy ready-made for
three times the money. Tastes pleas

This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of cough and
gives almost immediate relief. 1t loos-
ems the phlegm, stops the nasty throat
tickle and heals the sore, irritated
membranes so gently and easily that
it Is really astonishing.
A days. use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,

trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used for
generations to break up severe coughs.

1919 u. S. Wheat Crop
to Be 1850, 100000,
Is Opinion of Expert

philadelphia, Dec. 24.-A wheat
crop Of 1,25O,000,0OC bushels from
American farms for 1919 was pre-
dlcted yesterday by George Crowell,
vice president of the United States
Food Administration Grain Corpora
ti0u, in a discussion OF the problems
the government has been called upon
to face in protectin~ the guaranteed
price of S2.2O q bUsE-. for wheat by
the ending Of the war.
According to Crowell, whose Office
is at AZ Broadway. New York, scare
ity of shipping and tho food shortage
throughout Europe viii make it pos
srble for the grain corporation to dis
pose of the present American wheat
crop without difficulty. despite the
fact that Australian wheat is quoted
at Sis and Argentine wheat at $l.35
a busheL
The big problem in the wheat mar
ket viii come, according to this au-
thority when the 1919 crop is har-
vested. Wheat is the only farm
grown commodity on which the price
to the farmer Is absolutely guaranteed
aud protected by the government,

.STARTLES WITH
BATTLING FEATS
Thurston, With New Illusions,
Amazes Audience by
His Magic

Some one who saw Howard Thurs
ton present his program of magic
last night at the Orpheum said,
There is nothing impossible with
Thurston." To see him startle an
audience with daring illusions again
and again in one evening. and so sue
cessfully that crowd of from three
to twenty persons on the stage can
not see how 1t is done, almost COM
pels a stretch of the Imagination to
believe unless it is seen.
Thurston Is in Harrisburg for three
days with his array of illusions which
he presents at matinee and evening
entertainments to-day and to-mor-
row at the Orpheum. This year he
has included in his battling mysteries
some new fcats which seem to border
on the supernatural in their surpris-
ing results.
After the usual card passes, aerial
fishing, birds in the air and ROSTERS
head tricks. all familiar with those
who have seen Thurston before, the
magician again presents his great
levitation scene in which he suspends
a young woman in midair. Later he
again hypnotizes her, then covers
her with n sheet, permits about
twenty men to surround her,-but the
sheet is empty.
The remainder of the first part of
the program is filled with a number
of good illusions all of which though
presented before have lost none of
their mysteriousness.
In the second part of the program
Thurston introduces another new eff
feet when he takes two frames, COW
cred with canvas, stands them on an
easel, throws n bright light back of
them shining through both pieces Of
canvas, then let's a spirit" paint q
picture on one of them. He closes
his part of the entertainment with q
spirit phenomena"
In concluding Thurston offers nine
more feats, one of them the mex
haustible cocoanut from which flows
several gallons of water while being
held in the air. by the magician.
others which have been presented
here before are pigeon pie, the Bang
kok bungalow, the lady and the boy,
and the final, triple mystery.
Thurston's pleasing stage person
ality, his clever patter and the as
surance that he won't deceive the
folks together with some comedy fea-
lures which must be seen to be en-
joyed, combine to make an evening
with him one that will long be re-
membered.

TROLLEY FARE
APPEAL NEAR
FINAL STAGE
Public Service Commission
May Decide Quinn's Case
Within a Week

The Public Service Commission
will probably decide at the execu-
tive session next week what shall be
done about the petition of c. r..
Quinn, secretary of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, for an accountant
to be named to so over the books
of the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany, and subpoena for all books and
papers. The idea is to force a ply
steal valuation, such as is being
sought in the Scranton railways
case. The Harrisburg railways objects
to an accountant until it is informed
whether he is to be a certified ac-
countant or not There will also be
exceptions to the historical and bust
ness summary filed by the company,
counsel for Mr.. Quinn holding that
the figures are too high
The service end of the complaint
was closed yesterday and the testi-
mony given was confined almost eX-
clusively to the crowded special cars
run to and from the Bethlehem steel
works in the rush" hours. Little
testimony about conditions on any
other line to speak OF was submit
ted. This phase rests on the Steelton
specials.
Considerable comment was caused
by the remark of Commissioner
James Alcorn that Charles Sherlock,
who testified to the company losing
fares and to poor service, should
have brought such matters to the
attention of the company's officials.
Sherlock was asked If he had ever
,1sf - ,I. 1 al l., I
I'VE would have been glad to have
received these complaints" said
Charles l.. Bailey, Jr., counsel for
the company. Whereupou Mr. Al
Alcorn remarked: There is force in
what Mr.. Bailey says. You (meaning
Sherlock) could have aided the COM
pany by bringing such matters as
men not turning in fares to the at
tention of officials"
Sherlock and other witnesses testi-
fled that they knew of instances
when the number of passengers and
fare register did not tally.
Mr.. Quinn took the stand after
Sherlock and others had testified
that the company did not get the
fares TO which it was entitled be-
cause they were not rung up by it's
operatives and stated that he had
brought the complaint as a labor Of
ficial, believing that it was some
thing which should be done in the
interest of better trolley service. lie
said the trouble as he saw it was
bad management.
President Frank B. Musser and
Superintendent Felix NJ Davis were
the final witnesses and Mr.. Davis
had series of clashes with Mr.
Quinn's counsel who asked one ques-
ton five times.

A number of parents have asked,
this Christmas season. for the loan
of baby from the Associated Aids
Societies. but were doomed to disap-
pointment, as the organization de-
cided not to follow precedent this
year Instead of taking a baby away
for day or two and giving the in
fant to some family for a couple
days, oftentimes to parents who have
recently lost a child. the Aids So
ciety now aims more to furnish home
life. This means more expense, but
it is found to be better in many ways.
Destitute children, who have both
father and mother incapacitated, are
sent to the Industrial Home where
nothing is left undone to make the
youngsters healthy and happy.
This missionary work has been
handled in wholesale manner. church
societies. y w. c. A., Girls High
School clubs and other agencies Civ
ing their aid, providing dolls, gifts,
and food orders for the Christmas
baskets will be placed with the gro
GERS to-day. There will be several
hundred TO be filled and each will
cost approximately $3.50. In each
will be a chicken and all the trim
mings" for genuine Christmas din
ner. with nuts, candy and toys.
Clothing will also be distributed
where needed. Several hundred chill
dren, whose names have been sup
piled through the Associated Aid will
be given the Big Brother Dinner this
week by the Rotary Club.
The program at the Industrial
Home promises to be the real home
thing, with big tree filled with gifts
and toys which will make the young
sters happier than any other kind of
entertainment even though provided
by the kind folks who on other
Christmas days were wont to loan
