OLD STUFF.
Tom w. Jackson in Brooklyn Standard Union

Why don't they pull off some new stunts
In movie comedy?
To those who take in picture shows,
A big relief 'twould be.
We'er tired of the same old stuff
OF thump and bang and biff,
OF seeing bologna knock
a fat man cold and stiff.
Now when you see ajanitor
On screens in movie shows
Unwind a half dozen feet
OF rubber garden hose,
We know just what is coming next
And so OF course, do you.
That ev'ry actor is to be
All thoroughly wet through.
And when we see kitchen girl
Pick up a custard pie
We know that a policeman is
To get it in the eye.
And when the mistress rushes in
With motions OF despair,
We know that she'll fall upside down
Across a kitchen chair.
And ev'ry broom in comedy
Must sweep a persons lace,
Then all hands have lively row,
And then an auto race.
They are pursued by looney cops
With speed that is intense,
Then all hands fall off of a cliff
Or smash into fence.
Why can't we have screen comedies
Without custard pie!
Without a william with a bomb
To send folks to the sky!
Without hose an auto wreck
And boobs in Chaplin shoes.
Why can't we have some real true fun
To cure US OF the blues!
She (tenderly): when did you FIJI
know you loved me!"

MOTION
is SOLVED AT LAST
Power Can Be Furnished For Every Cause Without Cost
Declares Inventor, Who Has Made Working Model

Proposed miners strikes and
threatened $40 coal. need no longer
strike fear in the hearts of Harris
burgers.
Coal, together with coal stoves and
furnaces are to disappear from the
home to be replaced by an electric
stove. And the best of it all is that
the cost will be quite inconsequen-
tial.
Each home will have its own pow
e.. plant. An engine has been evolved
to be run by perpetual motion. There
will be no cost other than the wear
and tear on the bearings of the en-
gine so operated.
Problem Is Solved
All that is needed now is a million
dollars.
So says Edmund Miles, $50 South

the system after nine years of study.

TT is beginning to look like the
people of Harrisburg will engrave the
brave deeds of this city's soldiers and
sailors upon the sands instead of upon
everlasting tablets" declared man
to-day who left $40 at Chamber of
Commerce headquarters for the city's
proposed memorial. He had scanned
the list of subscriptions so far re-
ceived. The large ledger containing
blank spaces consecutively from 1 to
$500, was not even beginning to fill
up.
1t is true that quite a number of
Harrisburg's men and women have
subscribed $40 and more than $40 for
the memorial, but when it is recalled
that the population of the city is now
In the vicinity of so, 900 the number
of subscriptions received is pitiably
small.
AS already told. the Pine Street
Presbyterian Church has subscribed
$2o each for the gold stars on it's SER
vice flag. Wilmer and Vincent will
sec to it that each of the stars on the
firms service flag are covered. Her.
culean Lodge. No. 574. b. r. T., will
cover it's 40 stars.
These are scattered instances of
what is going on.
Much that is encouraging might
be reported, said headquarters to-
day, but the disinterestedness of the
people is SO far the big feature of the
campaign.
BY this campaign it is proposed to
raise $4,000 with which to erect a
memorial which will endure for all
time. This memorial will be built at
the Thirteenth street terminal of the
new State street bridge. Part of the
proceeds will be devoted, too, toward
the payment of bille incurred a week
ago last monday, when the welcome
home celebration occurred.
1t is requested by the committee
in charge that individuals throughout
the city interest themselves in the
memorial and see to it that in their
blocks subscriptions are taken Gov
ering" the soldiers and sailors from
that block.

a very good night-one of the best
he has had.
Cool weather was credited to-day
by President Wilson'S physicians
with aiding in his recovery, which
has now reached the stage where he
is able to spend part of his time
sitting up. The unreasonable heat
during the last few days was de-
clared to have greatly retarded the
patients progress, and with the
change he is able to sleep and to
gain more strength from his rest
The President still was prohibited to-
day from doing any work, although
his physicians said he was well
enough to resume the duties of his
office should any emergency arise.
