Auto Dealers Plan For
Great Exhibit This Year

Better than ever" is the word
sent out by the Harrisburg Motor
Dealers Association as a prediction
for the annual show which is ,dke
place January &c to February ? at
the Emerson -Brantingham building,
Tenth and Market streets. Details
were arranged at meeting last
night when it was found that, in all,
twenty-six auto dealers would be i'll
the exhibit, with nine dealers in
accessories. Every dealer in the
city came in this year for the first
time The question of apportionirg
floor space was the highly interest
ing feature of the session. There
are 10000 feet of it, but that will
hardly be enough for this big eX-
hibit. 1t was decided to have no
outside exhibit.

PRINCESS PAT
PLEASES MANY
Musical Comedy Lacks Good
Chorus, but Others in
Cast Are Good

Victor Herbert's fine musical
comedy success The Princess Pat"
was presented at the Orpheum last
night. The clever play with it's
tuneful musical numbers was al
most spoiled by the poor chorus
y chorus including the strangcst
variety seen in musical comedy in
Harrisburg in many day
Only the ability of few of the
others in the cast saved the musical
success from losing its charm and
it is certain that these few would
have been given more applause and
the supporting characters been
better The book and lyrics of
The Princess Pat" are bv Henry
Blossom and the musical score by
the wiGely-known composer nrd
orchestra conductor, Victor Herbert.
Many OF these numbers are of the
best which have heen written for
musical comedy but the presenta-
ton CT some of them was ma-rcd
by the chorus.
Annette Ford, as Princess Pat;
John Reinhard. as Prince Toto" !
Francis SEoffield as Grace Ho!- (
brook: Edwin Stanley. as Anthony
O'Brien, Jr., and Mel Moore, as Bob
Darrow. are the best in the cast.
Wilbur Cox, as ST Perkins, town con-
stable. is a capable comedy enter
tainer.
OF the musical numbers the fol-
lowing were enjoyed the most: For
Better or For Worse" a duct;
Neapolitan Love Song, by the
Prince; "All For You" duet; IN
Little World For Two" quartet of
mixed voices; THE Laughing irish
Eyes" by Princess Pat ana the
chorus

"Sacred ripiIege"
BY the Hon. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, Governor of
the Commonwealth of Pen
nsylvania.

When ] recently visited the
camps and cantonments where
our Pennsylvania men are in
training for the holy service it
was my constant purpose to
know what was being done for
the social and spiritual welfare
of these splendid soldiers.
In all the camps we visited
we found the Y. NJ. C. A. and
knights of Columbus buildings
equipped, officered and minis
tering in most helpful way to
the men.
The knights of Columbus
halls were well planned and
we'll equipped. The men found
in them welcome and benefi-
cence.
l count it a sacred privilege.
as well as a patriotic duty, to
help support this great service
to our men and our country.

GOOD ROADS NEED
Ed ALL OVER QUAY
COUNTY..TO Be FIXED

The recent rainy weather has tended
to create more than the usual demand
for good roads and brings to mind the
fact that there is every reason to be-
lieve that Quay county will soon have
at least one road the equal of any In
the southwest-the proposed one from
Tucumcari to Montoya. The United
States highway council. whose function
was to pass upon each separate high
way project throughout the forty
eight states, Immediately preceding OF
the signing of the armistice, had with
held approval Of all construction in
New Mexico. which involves federal
aid. With the advent of peace, il is
however, believed that work will be
taken up at once on this road, which
was the first project in New Mexico
to have been accepted by the federal
government. The agreement was exc
cuted June 22. Through the efforts
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
board of county commissioners, the
county and state each pledged one
fourth the cost of construction and the
federal government pledged the re-
naming one-half necessary.
Apparently the only thing which was
delaying the beginning of work was
the fact that the national highway
council had not put its approval on the
shipment of materials for roadbuild.
ing. The heavy shipping conditions
due to the war, no longer exist and
there is little doubt but that the gov.
ernment will approve shipments OF
road material in the near future. The
work will then be taken up immedi-
ately.
In order that this unit Of the Ozark
Trails may be maintained until the va.
rious authorities shall take up its con.
struction, special road tax is being
collected and it is planned to have a
road patrol from Glenrio to Montoya
to keep this road in good condition.
The board of county commissioners
have already made appropriations for
the improvements Of the San Jon car
road, the Ragland cap road, the Mon.
toya cap road and the Nara Visa-Rose

TWO IMPORTANT SUBJECTS

There is a great question before the
American public to be settled soon. 1t
is the question of universal military
training and service. What is the
proper thing to do? What should be
the attitude of the church? The
church is in the world to make dis
ciples of Christ of all nations. 1t is
not worth while unless the religion of
Christ is sufficient to meet every hu-
man need. If it is suflicient--and il
certainly christian people should
apply it to all questions, hence this
question of future military policy will
be discussed at the Christian church
next Sunday evening.
The other subject for the hour of
morning worship will be, Jehovah
and Messiah, the Coming One This
is an illuminating sermon by one now
passed to his eternal reward, William
r. Nicholson, who was bishop of the
Reformed Episcopal church. 1t will
bring a message that should be passed
on and on. Come to both these SER
vices, and please do not fail to be at
Bible school promptly at 9:45 a. m.

FLU EPIDEMIC is NOT YET
ENDED, DECLARES BLUE

Washington, Dec. ll.-Warning 10
the country that the influenza epi-
demic is by no means ended and that
all possible precautions against the
disease should be taken, was issued to-
night by Surgeon General Blue Of the
public health service.
Reports received by the service show
recrudescence of the disease prac-
tically from one end of the country to
the other and in his statement DR..
Blue advised the closing of the public
schools on the first sign of the cap
pearance of the epidemic. He said the
the disease apparently now tended to
occur more frequently among school
children.
"Our main reliance" DIR. Blue said,
must still be the observance of pre-
cautions by the individual person. He
should cover up his coughs and his
sneezes and insist that others do the
same"
