RED CROSS
HIGHLY PRAISED
"Best I Have Visited For Some
Time. Says the Field
Inspector

Miss Alice Heyser, field inspector
for the Pennsylvania-M Maryland d.
vision of the American Red Cross,
paid high compliment to the local
chapter yesterday. Her first tribute
was brought forth by her seeing the
rooms full OF workers. all busy on
refugee garments. "You have the
beN attendance of any chapter that
1 have visited for some time" she
said. Nor was this the only tribute
she paid to the local chapter. other
matters which brought forth the
unstinted praise, were the quantity
and quality of the work and the
promptness with which the, finished
articles are shipped.
The visit of the field inspector at
this time was brought about by an
order from Washington for the
speeding up OF work on refugee gar
ments The garments, she said, are
for use this winter ,and to be or any
use must be completed at the ear
liest moment possible. A dragging
out of the work will mean untold
suffering. Prompt completion VIII
mean warmth, health, life to many
thousands.
The Steelton chapter is making
good progress on the work OF refu-
gee garments and is shipping them
away as they are completed. More
workers. of course. will mean great
er speed, and the officers are now
urging more women to help.

by Senate Agreed to

Washington, Jan. 9.-Senate con-
ferees won the preliminary skirmish
to-day in joint conference with those
appointed by the House over the
$4,000, 100000 war revenue bill, when
the House conferees accepted the
Senate amendments to the normal

nicipal bonds from income tax. 1t

ferees since the bill was passed by

From the start made to-day. it is
expected that the conferees will be
able to complete their work within
two weeks and that the measure will
be back in the Senate and House
before the last week of the month
A fight will come on the excess profits

cepted by the conferees to-day en-
braces a rate of six per cent. on the

Supreme Court Hits Vests;
"Two-Thirds" Vote Upheld

Washington. Jan. 9.-One of the
main points on which the liquor in
terests hoped to overthrow the ma
tional prohibition amendment was
knocked sky high when the Supreme
Court yesterday decided the two
thirds of quorum" question.
1t is certain that the liquormen
will test the legality of the prohibi-
ton amendment before the Supreme
Court. one of the points they
planned to raise was that the reso-
luton was not adopted by two-thirds
of the House. but by two-thirds Of
those voting. although quorum was
present.
The case at issue yesterday came
up from Kansas. The Missouri
Pacific Railway Company was
charged with illegally taking liquor
into the state. The defense was
raised that the Webb Kenyon act is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. because it was
passed over the Presidents veto with
a bare quorum of the Senate present.
Chief Justice White handed down
the opinion of the court. He thus
states the point raised by the de-
fense:
The proposition is this: That, as
the provision OF lne SunSlllulloh CA
acting two-thirds vote of each
house to pass a bill over a veto
means two thirds vote not of a
quorum of each house but of all the
members of the body, the Webb-Ken-
yen act was not enacted into law,
because, after it's veto by the Presi-
dent. it received in the Senate votes
of only two-thirds of the Senators
present. a quorum, which was less
than two-thirds of all the members
elected to and entitled to sit in that
body"
In his conclusions Chief Justice
White holds that from the beginning
of the government the rule has pre-
vailed that quorum of the Senate
and House constitutes those bodies
and can transact any business. This
includes amendments to the Consti-
tuition and passing bills over the
Presidents veto.
The matter is pronounced one of
the utmost Importance by Chief JUS
tice White.

HORSE BURNSTO
DEATH IN FIRE
Row of Old Frame Dwellings
Threatened by
Blaze

Fire which threatened to destroy
a row of frame dwellings In Hoyer
alley, which runs between Indian
and Paxtang streets, east of Race
street. this morning swept over the
stables belonging to the Clarence T.
Mackenson estate, causing a loss Of
$500 and burning a horse to death.
Two other horses which usually
are kept in the barn by Angela Cim-
ino, grocer. S04 South Second street,
who rents it from HAMMOND and
Bailey, were out Of the stable when
the fire occurred.
The ruined building adjoins a row
of old frame buildings. The quick
work of the firemen prevented dis
astrous spread of the flames only
after they already had ignited one
end of the row. The stable is a COM
plete ruin.
Drivers for Cimino are thought to
have started the flames while hitch
ing their horses preparatory to
going to work this morning, when
they dropped lighted cigarets. The
flames broke out about $50 o'clock,
while one driver was at n black
smiths with a horse and the other
driver was on the road. The third
horse could not be rescued, and was
burned to death in the blazing stable.
The alarm was turned in from Box
13, at Race and PaXtang streets, by
the resident of the end house of the
block threatened by the flames. She
declared the fire had been raging for
some time before il was discovered,
as the flames had gained dangerous
headway, before the alarm was
sent in.
Cimino had no insurance on the
contents of the stable.

ally changing from war work back

made that an adjustment in the
working hours will be made shortly.
~ is Thought probable that many de-
partments will ne put on nine-houT
shifts. Nothing definite. however, has
been announced. No. forge shop,
built primarily for war orders, is
being closed down entirely. No ar
Iangements have thus far been made
for the use of the building.
The suspension OF work at the H.
inch rolling mill is not due to any of
the contemplated changes. but was
caused by serious breakdown. Work
in this shop will he resumed as soon
as the repairs can be completed.

DON'T THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD SHOES
Make Them Wear Like New
AS Did This Canadian
Officer

A Canadian army officer, William
Pemberton, of the famous Princess Pat
Regiment, told of the extraordinary
wear given him by pair of army boots
twice repaired with Ne5lin Soles.
"Six months of trench warfare under
destructive conditions put the first
pair of Neolin Soles out of business"
said Lieutenant Pemberton, "but ordi-
nary soles would have gone to pieces
in much less time"
Don't throw away shoes that can be
repaired. Have them re-bottomed with
tough, durable Neolin Soles. Any
cobbler or repairman will do the work
for you. The price is no more than
for soles that give less wear. Remem-
ber-Neolin Soles are created by science
to be what soles should be. They
are flexible and waterproof as well as
durable They come on new shoes of
all styles. They are made by The
