PENNSYLVANIA bids fair 10
become the greatest automo-
bile touring State of the Union
Not only are thousands of
automobiles owned by Pennsylva-
mans, but we are well situated
geographically. People from the
west touring to New York or New
England must pass our way, and
the same applies to northbound,
westbound and southbound tourists.
Better than all that we have scenery
that rivals any that the auto
mobilist will find in any part of the
country.
Bad roads have held us back.
Already the news has gone abroad
that Commissioner Sadler is trans
forming the highways and tourists
are coming by the thousand. The
other day a Gettysburg guide count
ed machines from twenty-four
States on the field at one time. We
have neglected our opportunities
in this matter of auto
mobile touring, but slowly we are
coming into our own and it Will
be but a short time until Pennsyl-
vania will be quite as popular as
New York, New England or any of
the other States.

BACK HOME

A few weeks ago a satire on those who would break into the movies was shown at one of the leading fOtOplay houses. The title of the comedy was "One Every Minute" produced by Paramount and written by James Montgou cry FIagg. 'Tis said that many aspiring screen adonises have returned from California and New York to their home towns and their respective trades namely: shoemak- ing, bOilermaking and plumbing.
 The screen has lost many who would have become great stars. That is what they are telling their friends But those who have seen them and know say that the screen has been saved.
 It is cruel, maybe, to write this sort of stuff, but nevertheless true. A screen player must have acting abil ity and must spend sometime on the speaking stage although there have been a few instances where stars have been made of people who have never even walked across the stage. lis a queer world, what?

RUBBER HAIRED

The wild. dancing, rubber haired, dwarf, the celebrated Barnum 6 Bailey freak, who was kidnapped from 33 Courtland street, this city, on December 11th has been located. Captain Morris Hepston in whose SSstStiS the English government aI- IoWad tho wild man to be brought to thjA country and who contracted with the Barnum show for the exhibition 3R tGe freak employed Norman E. Mcleod, a Bridgeport private detec- stSes to locate and recover his ward sOon after the kidnapping last De- Cember.
 MT. Mcleod has been In touch with agents all over the country during the past few months but until last Thursday failed to locate the wild man. Last week MT. Mcleod went to Dreamland, Coney Island, in quest of his quarry. While there he learned that Frank Tabasch, the wild man, was held in seclusion in New York City. Proceeding to the Madison Square Garden where the Barnurn show was preparing for its opening, MT. Mcleod was urprised to find Tabasch sitting in a box. guarded by 0 man in the uniform of a. Serbian officer, watching the showmen in their work erecting the rings and trapese. Nippers were imme ediately placed onto the wild man and he was taken to the S7th Street Police Sta ton. This action was strenuously protested by the two men guarding the freak. These men are the ones who kidnapped Tabasch from his Bridgeport abode. Who the man was attired In Serbian army uniform is a mystery.
 Captain Morris Hepston has now been given possession of his ward and he will exhibit the wild, rubber hair- ed man with the Barnum show during the coming season. It Is rumored that sam Gompertz, manager of DreamIand, Coney Island, had ar ranged with the kidnappers to show Tabasch under his contract during the season.
 The procedure of kidnapping and recovering the wild man Is very much criticised by people acquainted with the transaction as the days of slavery in this country are long since passed away.
