THURSDAY EVENING,

lauded the State Capital at Harris
burg, saying that nowhere has there
been evinced a greater harmony OF
ideals of city and State than in this
great commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA"
IN speaking of the needs for a civ.I
center Mr.. Drummer said The civic
center is an example of wise control.
1t represents law and order. Here
the streets meet and resolve them
selves into regular forms; the build
ings stop swearing at each other,
cease their struggle for prominence
and their endeavors to overtop each
other; they take their places in the
civic ranks like true soldiers obedi-
ent to authority.
In designing the municipal center
we must plan for to-day and prepare
for tomorrow. With an eye to the
future we must decide just how
much We can do now, just how much
we can pay now. Sufficient unto the
day are the taxes thereof. But let
US build we'll, of enduring materials,
plan deliberately, abandon village
methods and above all have faith in
cur ideals.
THE practical man has been de-
fined as one who knows all about a
machine except what it is for. The
small Americans, as Mr. Taft called
them. have retarded the progress of
civic art by small fears and smaller
faith"

witness the extinction of his beloved
art. 1t is doubtful if any artist ever
found himself in similar straits, HIS
three masses were sung and all were
approved, but two were lacking in
some respects. In the third, the
Mass of Pope Marcellus. he solved
the problem. The genius of the mas
ter had extracted from the works of
his predecessors their valuable quail
ties, and, discarding contra puntal
eXcesSes, substituted a direct and
simple utteronce clothed with the
beauty of grace and melody.
The Sorrows of d Genius
Pedestrians only reward was the
grant of full pay OF a singer in the
Sistine Chapel, a stipend which was
continued by the next seven pontiffs
who resigned. In 1871 he was re-
appointed to his old position as a
chapel-master of the Julian Chapel,
and this position he retained until
his death. 1t was the desire of Pope
Sixtus V to make him maestro of the
Sistine Chapel, but this could not be
done as he was a layman. Although
still poor, his condition had improved
and he now enjoyed the friendship
and patronage of Cardinal Buoncom-
pagni. However, sorrow had come
to him in a new form, for about
1880 death took from him his sons
and pupils, Angelo and Ridolfo, and
also his beloved wife. His great
grief found expression in the Super
Flumina Babylonis." which will be
heard in the program sung here by
the Vatican choirs. His sole re-
naming son, Igino, turned out to be
a thorn in his flesh.
A year or so later he married a
wealthy widow, Virginia Dormuli.
This marriage must have brought
happiness to him, for soon after he
made 20 settings of the Song of
Solomon" which he dedicated to
Pope Gregory XIII and which is
regarded as his finest work, with the
exception of the Mass of Marcellus.
AS years passed on he continued to
write such great compositions as the
Lam mentations and the Stabat Mater.
Finally, in 1894, he was stricken
with pleurisy and died, leaving di-
rections for publishing his manu-
scripts to his son, Igino, and his
friend and patron, Philip de Neri.
On his~tomb was inscribed the sim
pie title, "Princeps Musicae."

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the women
there able TO retain their youthful
looks until long past middle age? Is
il because they are much given to the

Refutes Stories That
Jenkins Gave Himself
Up to Band Of Bandits
By Associated Press

Mexico City, Wednesday, Oct. %.
Published intimations that the
abductions of William c. Jenkins,
American consular agent at Puebla,
presented phases indicative of con-
nivance by Jenkins and certain of
his associates with the bandits are
refuted in a story published by Ex-
celsior. The newspapers story is the
result of an investigation by it's spe-
cial representative in Puebla.
The Excelsior says the consular
agent was really kidnapped and that
Cordova, leader of the bandits, sign
ed a receipt of 100000 pesos, al
though 1t says it is not known how
much of this amount has been paid
or who paid it.
The arrest of Jenkins attorney,
who has been released on bail, is be-
neVed to have been brought about
by the local courts wanting to as
sure testimony to aid in clearing IN
more or less hazy charges.

Use Schools to Provide
Barracks For Soldiers

Berlin, Oct. 3O.=- Some of the
public schools of the city have been
unable to admit pupils this autumn
because the buildings were occupied
by Home Defense troops which
camped in them during the vacation
period. Authorities of the schools
have protested to the Prussian Min
lister of Education and to Defense
Minister Noske, pointing out that
hundreds of moving picture theaters.
concert halls and hotels have re-
mained undisturbed by troops.
. To provide barracks for these SOL
diers, the government is confiscat-
ing the quarters of numerous war
societies.
Because of the prospective short
age of coal, it is planned to combine
several schools, reduce the courses
and hours of study to 18 a week.
This has aroused a protest.

A Simple Way to
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve 1t, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain.
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten 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
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it. no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.

Guaranty Not a Subsidy.

In the Esch bill to govern the railroads on
their return to corporate ownership, which has
been passed by the house, is a provision to con-
tnue the government guaranty Of income for
six months. This is much to the dislike of the
democrats, who oppose it as equivalent to pay
ing subsidy to the roads.
Those who have followed the experience of
the government since it assumed management
of the transportation industry will more than
likely agree that the Esch plan is simply an act
of justice. So many violent changes in methods
of operation were made in the process of adj
justng the roads to unified control that even
to set them back to former conditions could not
be accomplished without laying a very heavy
burden of expense the owners. This may be
intensified by the new law under which future
dongs of the railroads will be supervised and
regulated
With this in view, it seems but reasonable
and just that the public should bear portion
at least of the cost that will be entaed in the
transition. The railroads did not seek the situ-
alton, and perhaps it was not contemplated
when the government took hold Many unex-
pected problems encountered, and great
deal of expense was laid on the individual lines
in bringing them together. More will be in
Cured in the course of separation.
Continuation of the government guaranty
then only amounts to the discharge of an obi
CATION assumed when then the roads were taken
over. 1t will terminate within six months
which is short enough time to allow for resump-
ton of business by the restored lines, and will
be paid only to such lines as do not earn suf-
fcient revenue. Viewed from any point, the
plan looks less like subsidy and more like SIM
pie justice than anything the democrats have
dooe

Soft-Coal Mining a Seasonal Industry.

One of the points in connection with the soft
coal mining situation is that the mines do not
operate continuously. Dr.. V. H. Manning d.
rector Of the United States bureau of Mines
gives the information that for the FIVE year
period preceding 1917 the bituminous mines
we're worked from 1875 to 232 days each year;
in 1917 the busy period extended 243 days, and
in 1915 under abnormal war pressure, it
mounted to the peak of 249 days Figures for
1919 are not available but operators admit that
the time worked in the mines will fall far below
that of last year. Nor are these days consec-
utve, so that the coal miner may have the
rest of the year for engaging in other EN-
ployment. His working time is strung over
the whole twelve months
Primarily, this is due to the fact that soft
coal deteriorates when brought up from the
seam. Consumers are averse to carrying any
considerable stock ahead because OF the in
convenience of storage and the fact that the
coal breaks down, takes fire spontaneously, and
generally is not desirable stock, save for inn
mediate consumption. Producers are not eager
to provide at the mines any extensive storage
plants, preferring to leave the coal i'll the
ground until called for, and then to load direct
from the pit into the cars that are to haul the
fuel away.
Under these conditions, steady operation Of
the mines is not possible, and soft coal miners
find themselves listed among the Seasonal
workers, with the disadvantage that their sea-
son is not we'll defined. Were means provided
whereby surplus of coal could be brought to
the surface and properly stored so that work
in the mines might be steady, great deal of
the friction complained of would be removed.
As it is the lack of efficiency in producing and
handling biturninous coal is one of the biggest
items in our annual budget of waste.

Keeping the Country Dry.

Vets, who had relied on decisions in Rhode
Island and Kentucky federal courts for ending
the drouth are being disappointed by decisions
given elsewhere. In New York and Chicago
they have met reverses, particularly in the de-
cison of Judge Carpenter of Chicago, who care
fully reviews the wartime prohibition enforce
ment act and finds it wholly in the power of
congress. Relying on previous decisions, nota-
bly, that on which the Kansas prohibitory laws
rest, and which sustain the state in the exer-
else of the police power, the court finds that
congress, acting for the entire country, can ex-
ercise similar power in its discretion. The pro-
hibitory law, therefore, is good and enforceable,
despite the fact that General Pershing says the
army has been demobilized and the presidents
pronouncement that the war is ended, made
when the Vostead act was vetoed
Appeal has been taken to the supreme court,
which is not expected to act before the begin
ming of December, and thus the prospects for
wet interim prior to the taking effect of the
federal amendment get less and less.
Persons who view the situation dispa ssion-
ately find it quite interesting. A dry nation is
yet sufficiently novel to enlist the attention of
even its own people, and the process of keeping
the country dry is going to be watched closely
from all sides.
