Aldermen For Many
Cities to Ask Higher
Fees of Legislature

Aldermen from twenty-five cities
in this state at a semiannual meeting
yesterday afternoon in the office of
Alderman George A. Hoverter dis
cussed proposed legislation which
would permit them to handle tres
pass actions brought to recover small
amounts of damages. and also another
Dill TO increase some of the fees
which magistrates collect.
Under existing legislation. trespass
actions for damages in small amounts
cannot be brought before an alder
man. but must be filed in court. This
recessitates an expense for legal
procedure which in many cases would
be higher than the amount of dam
ages asked. AS a result. the alder
men believe a law is needed giving
them authority to hear such cases,
thus saving much expense to a plain
tiff in an action who is seeking to
recover nominal amounts because OF
damages to himself or his property
in minor accidents
After discussing these proposed
acts. the following officers were
elected: George A. Hoverter. presi-
dent; Alexander Ricketts,. Wilkes
Barre. vice-president: A. X. Spurrier.
Lancaster, treasurer; H. II. Brown
miller, Orwigsburg. secretary.
The next meeting of the aldermen
will be held In York on July 10.

Six Taken in Raid on
No. Is Cowden Street

No. 16 Cowden street. was the
scene of another alleged robbery
this week. and last night six of it's
tenants were arrested by the police
on charge of larceny from the per-
son. The house is notorious for the
number of times its tenants come
under the surveillance of the police.
b. f. Davis, who says he is en-
ployed at the aviation warehouses
in Middletown, complained that
when he went to visit" in the house.
he was robbed of $40, 800 Lib

decided that he had no business
there and held him under a serious
charge.

Another Harrisburg Man
Suffers Because Money Is
Lost in Cable Service

Another instance of the failure of
the Bnrleson- controlled cables fail
ure to. convey much-needed assistance
to one of Uncle Sans fghtingmen in
France came 10 light To-day. AS
result of the failure of the cables to
function properly. it is likely that
another Harrisburg soldier is feeling
the pinch of actual want in France.
Lieutenant Joseph Il. Snyder who
was promoted from a second to first
lieutenancy recently, came out OF the
fighting zone at the end of hostillties
with his uniforms torn and practical
ly frayed TO pieces. The barbed wire
entanglements of the enemy and the
brush in which he had been lighting
ruined his clothes, and as a result he
cabled home for money.
That was weeks ago. His father,
Michael Snyder 31S South Fifteenth
street, cabled S100 at once, but thus
far 1t has not reached the young SOL
dier.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
pooS contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie and Is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is much bet
ter than the most expensive SOAP or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly injure
the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundant
of rich creamy lather and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
m onths.

70 Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
Ana Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
Deafness or who are growing hard
Uf hearing and have head noises will
be glad to know that this distress
ing affliction can usually be success-
fully treated at home by an Internal
medicine that in many Instances has
effected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear have had their
hearing restored to such an extent
that the tick OF watcu was plainly
audible seven or eight inches away
from either ear. Therefore, If you
know of someone who is troubled
with head noises or catarrhal deaf
ness, cut out this formula and hand
il to them and you may have been
the means OF saving some poor suffer-
er perhaps from total deafness. The
prescription can be prepared at home
and is made as follows:
Parmint Oouble strengtD. Take
hot water and little formulated
sugar; sti. until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day.
ParInint Is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the
infiamma ton and swelling in the
Lustachian Tubes. and thus to equal
ize the air pressure on the drum, but
to correct any excess of secretions in
the middle ear, and the results 1t
gives are nearly always quick and
eli ective.

Bucnos Aires, Jan. 10.-The fu-

cording to La Nanguardia, the off,
cial Socialist party organ, was at
tended by $4,000 persons. The cor
tege was fired upon twice. 1t Is i'm
possible to state the number of killed
and wounded in Thursdays clashes,
but the casualties will reach great
numbers. All the unions have de-
cided to continue the strike indefi-
nitely as n protest against Thursdays S
events. The government has dis
embarked marines and sailors be-
cause 1t has no faith in the army"
the paper states.
After the burial of the victims
more than one thousand strikers who
had formed the procession burned
a passenger train on the Pacific
Railway and tore up the track, para
Lying traffic on the transandean
line. They later burned a Catholic
church and the girls school ad-
joining.
The district police station at the
Vasena iron foundry was captured
by armed strikers, but it was assert
ed at police headquarters at mid
night that the station had been re-
captured. During the night the
strikers entrenched themselves about
the Vasena plant. The strike COM
mittee asserts that one company of
infantry in this locality refused to
fire on the strikers, laid down it's
arms and went to its barracks with
the men under arrest.

More Cars to Be Used
on the Sixth Street Line
During the Rush Hours

Ocictals of the Harrisburg Rail-
ways Company, in an effort to re-
lieve congestion on it's Fourth and
Sixth street lines during the rush
hours on Saturday evenins, will lin
augurate n new system tomorrow
night whereby three additional cars
will be placed at the disposal of
patrons. The cars will be operated
each Saturday evening between five
and eight o'clock, the hours when
travel is heaviest.
The plan was worked out to-day
and at the same time announcement
was made that the officials are work.
ing on a plan to operate more cars
on the line during the rush hours
of other days-somethin which is
practically impossible now because
of sickness and shortage of men.
The Saturday evening plan in
wolves the runnin of the three extra
cars to Sixth and Division streets via
Second and Reilly streets. Because of
the single trackage on Fourth and
Sixth streets, south of Reilly as far
as State, it is impossible to place
any more on the line to operate
directly up Fourth and Sixth streets
from Walnut, there being seven run
over that route now.
The new plan is to run the three
additional cars between five and
eight o'clock north on Second street
to Reilly, thence to Slrth street and
north to Division. I naddition, there
are htree Rockville cars passing over
this route, making n total of sir cars
running up Sixth street via Reilly,
and a total of thirteen over both
routes. Officials were confident to-
day that this plan will solve the Sat.
urday night congestion.
Fourth and Sixth street cars run
ming over the Second and Reilly
street route will be marked by new
cars running over the regular route
signs reading Fourth and Sixth ia
