sells, where Canadian troops were in
spected by King Albert eight days ago.
Many Killed and Wounded
The depot has been under guard of
$50 Belgian soldiers and 900 German
prisoners have been at work near 1t.
1t is believed there are many killed and
wounded, but the number of victims
will not be known for several days.
Many houses in the neighborhood have
completely collapsed and windows and
roofs for two miles around the scene of
the explosion have been shattered. This
is especially the case at Hoeylaert and
neighboring towns, where there are
thousands of hothouses.' The movement
of trains over the Namur-Luxembourg
line has been interrupted.
Germans Flee
1t is reported that while workmen
were unloading a wagon filled with
shells a detonator exploded in the hands
of a German prisoner. setting fire to
the ammunition boxes. After the ex-
plosion the German prisoners broke the
barbed wire Gordon surrounding the
camp and fled in all directions through
the woods Only $50 have been arrest
ed since. The Belgian guards at the
depot succeeded in escaping. The ex-
plosions are clearly heard in Brussels
and may continue for days.

Smith Bill Reorganizing
Public Grounds Dept.
Is Passed by the Senate

The Senate this morning passed
finally, Senator Smiths, Dauphin, bill
reorganizing the Department of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings. The meas
ure now goes to the House for con-
currence. There is no opposition to
the measure and it's speedy passage
is assured.
A bill apportioning $4,000 to the
Emergency Public Works Commits
sion, was introduced by Senator
Woodward, Philadelphia. The Com
mission, composed of the Governor,
Auditor General, State Treasurer and
the Commissioner of Labor and In
dustry, is authorized to provide for
the extension of the public work of
the Commonwealth, during periods
of extraordinary unemployment,
caused by temporary industrial de-
preston.

Philadelphia Charter
Bills Passed by Senate

The Philadelphia charter bills,
| sponsored by Senator Woodward, of
Philadelphia, and backed by United
| States Senator Boies Penrose, pass
ed the Senate finally this morning
| by q 1872 vote. The two negative
votes were cast by Senator's Gary
and Patton, both Ware men from
Philadelphia.
| Debate on the measure was mark
ed by an exchange of bitter per-
sonalities between Senator Wood
ward and Senator Ware, with Sena-
tors Patton and Daix joining the
struggle later.
Senator Woodward started the ball
rolling in a fifteen minute speech
urging the passage of the bill. Sena-
tor Ware then rose in his place and
declared that he had not intended
to say anything on the floor of the
Senate, as it had been agreed to let
| the fight take place in a House COM
mittee. He felt called upon, how
ever, to resent the remarks of Sena-
| tor Woodward, and then proceeded
to attack Senator Woodward, and
John G. Winston, of Philadelphia,
head of the charter revisionists, who
was present in the Senate chamber.
Claiming that Philadelphia was
| financially better off than any city
in the country, and perhaps in the
world, Senator Patton advised the
senators to leave their hands off
Philadelphia, declaring that it would
be a crime to upset the financial sys-
tenn of a city with the best credit in
the nation.
Senator Daix, Philadelphia, rose
in his place to resent the remarks of
Senator Ware concerning Senator
Woodward. The vote was then taken,
resulting in 1872 tally for the
yeas" Senator Ware did not vote.

the State converge here, but we will
never get the travel to which we are
entitled as long as the bridge COM

dends at the expense of the travelling
public"
The motion to appoint a committee
went through without a dissenting
vote.
Athletic Exhibition
The Rotarians, who were the guests
of j. w. Roshon, listened to a very
entertaining address on art of por-
traiture and inspected a number of
especially made photographs of Rota-
rians, good and otherwise, as sam
pies of how and how not to look
when facing the camera. Following
the address Prof" Miller, of the Y
NJ. c. A. Athletic Department, intro
duced class of eight Rotarians
consisting of DR.. Frank b. Kann, L.
Fred. Rowe, James p. Mccullough,
Robert B. Reeves, Dr. J. B. Lawrence
and Captain Geroge f. Lamb. The
"H athletic department won a lot
of converts as a result of the exhi-
bition and the businessmen's class is
going to be much larger next year.
Following t.Is there was staged
three round boxing bout between
Prof" Miller and Cap" Lumb, with
Fred. Rowe as second for Miller,
Doc" Lawrence acting for Lumb and
Jim" Mccullough as referee. 1t was
a lively tilt from start to finish, and
ended in a draw after Mccullough
had suffered a half-dozen jabs in the
neck and ear trying to break up the
clenches.

How to Keep Age-Lines
and Wrinkles AWAY

Don't forget that the woman who
smiles will have a skin more free from
wrinkles than the woman who
frowns. When wrinkles begin to ap-
pear it is good plan to bathe the
face once a day for awhile in harm
less solution made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saXolite in a half
pint of witch hazel
This is a remarkably effective in
erasing the hateful lines, not only
because of its astringent action which
tightens the skin and thus irons out
the lines, but also because of a help
full tonic effect which improves capil-
larry circulation and nerve tone. There
is nothing better for fiabby cheeks or
chin. Be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saXolite.
