New York Public Library
Exhibits War Pictures

The Chief Signal officer of the
Eastern Department, New York City,
has advised Colonel j. b. Kemper,
in. charge of the Harrisburg Recruit
ing District, that what is probably
the largest single collection in the
world of enlarged photographs of
The World will be exhibited to the
public, without charge, at the New
York Public Library, 476 Fifth Ave-
nue., corner of 42nd Street, New
York City, commencing December
Sth for a period of two months
The Library will be open for exhibit
of these photographs from A. NJ.
to p. NJ, weekdays, and from 1
to p. NJ, Sundays
These photographs We're taken by
the official photographers of the
Signal Corps attached to the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces in
Europe, some of them under the Sc
verest she'll fire, and form, a unique
pictorial history of the part played
by American troops in the great
struggle. They give a vivid repre-
of the engagements in
which our men participated and the
conditions under which they had to
operate.
These are war pictures of an ex-
ceedingly engaging type showing
not only actual scenes of desolation
ruin and privation, but also the per-
ennial spirit of cheerfulness with
which the men bore. the discomforts
of war and faced death. Each pic
ture bears title and the exhibit will
be of real interest to those who take
of it during a visit in
New York City.

WHITBY JET IS
GROWING SCARCE
Day When 1t Could Be Picked
Up on English Beach
Has Passed

Time was, and that not long ago,
VIXEN one might find it, every now
and again, on the seashore; when a
real piece of Whitby jet was one of
the treasures to be picked up in an
afternoons walk along that wonder
full beach which stretches all the way
from Whitby West Cliff to where the
little brown beck tumbles down out
of the moors into the sea at Sand
send. And it is still, of course, TO
be found there, for the sea is ever
disclosing new treasures. But, to-
day, the triumph of picking up a
piece of real jet is of rare occur
renee. True, hope rises high, again
and again, for it takes an experienced
eye indeed not to be taken in by
every plausible representation of q
piece of coal. But the well-trred
wayfarer passes by such obvious
fakes without second glance.
Then again, unless one is ac-
quainted with the habits of jet, there
is nothing about it, whether one re-
trieves it in triumph from the sands
of the skore, or picks it up, uncut
and unpublished in a jet workers
cottage, that one should desire it.
Technical books on the subject de-
scribe 1t bluntly as a species of coal,
brown coal, rendered black by fos-
silization and by impregnation with
bituminous matter" and, seen in the
rough, one is at once convinced that
the technical books are right. But
let the jet worker take it and cut
1t and carve it, as he will do while
you wait Then let him polish it,
and, 10! tie piece of dull coal is
transformed into a wonderful sub
stance of translucent black, so black
mat, for all the world, it represents
the blacklist that can be found.
Whitby jet las had many imitators.
of course, especially in later years
and not a few competitors Jet from
other parts of the world has en-
deaRored, with varying success, TO
establish itself in popular favor, but
real Whitby jet is still very much the
standard of excellence. AS for the
unworthy limitations, the vulcanite,
the celluloid, the black wax covered
with glass, or even the recent elabor-
ate synthetic productions, Whitby
will have none of them. No one
can walk through the narrow streets
of the old town, and pause every
now and again to look in at its
quaint shop windows, without realfz-
ing that he is indeed in the very
land of the genuine article" Real
Whitby jet is to be found everywhere.

favorite ornaments. Then there are
beads of all shapes and sizes, work
ed up into all manner of wonderful

kind of requisite, from a penholder.
to an eight-day clock, has been
pressed into service as a setting for
the real thing.

CREAM AND OIL
RUN ENGINES
Remarkable Invention Goes
on Almost Anything; Of
fered as Fuel Solution

New York.-To run engines, using
as fuel olive oil, melted butter or
whipped cream may sound absurd,
but, according to e. w. Blakely of
the Society of Automobile Engineers,
one of the leading speakers at the
convention of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, in session
here recently, this already has been
accomplished. "Of course" said Mr..
Blakely, "it would be ridiculous to
use any OF these substances as
permanent fuel, but the fact that
the engine could be started and run
on them speaks volumes for the
principle involved.
The experiment was accomplished
recently with the use of HVid en-
gine, invented by r. NJ. HVid of Chi
cago, and WAS perform ed in the pres
ence of five engineers representing
the Russian government.
The engine was started and was
kept running for a length of time on
the following fuels: Crude oil, fuel
oil, kerosene, olive oil, castor oil,
melted butter, axle grease and finally
whipped cream
The Hvid engine" said Mr.. Blake
ly, has not as yet been entirely per-
fected for high speed purposes, but
it is applicable to motor boats, trac-
tors and pumps. Its weight and the
fact that it cannot attain n high
speed prevent the Hvid from being
adaptable to fast moving vehicles.
According to Mr.. Blakely the en-
gines not only economies the use of
fuel, but also saves energy in the
sense that it avoids, in many cases,
the transportation of coal.
The Hvid is straight four cycle
engine of conventional design, eX-
cept that high compression is used
to secure ignition and a fuel inject
ing mechanism is employed, by
means of which a preliminary COM
bustion is made to force the fuel into
the engine without complicated
pumps or air syst ems. The engine is
said to have all the advantages and
none of the. disadvantages of the So
called Diesel, and will run on any
oil that can flow through a pipe or
any biproduct of distillation.

Tax Increase Probable
in City Budget to Be
Considered Tonight

Councilmen will meet tonight for the
first session to consider the 1920 budget.
Members of Council said to-day that
they had received from the various bu-
reaus estimates of the appropriations
needed to maintain the departments next
year.
Commissioner C. w. BURNETT, superin-
tendent of accounts and finance. an
nounced that he had completed an esti-
mate of receipts for next year which
he would submit this evening. No fig
ures will be given for publication at
present however.
Commissioners predict that an in
crease in the tax rate from ten to eleven
mills is quite likely because of the
constantly rising costs of labor and ma
terials, needed principally for the park,
street and water departments.

CHICAGO MAY id
GET CONVENTION
Her Chances Become Better
When San Francisco
Drops Out 4

Washington, Dec .9.-The. 1920
political pot was started boiling
merrily to-day as the leading figures
of the Republican party, gathering
here for the quadrennial meeting of
the National Committee, took coun-
sci on candidates and issues.
The ostensible purpose of the
committee meeting is to select a
time and place for next years ma
tional convention, but in their con-
ferences committee members and
their guests talked of almost every
thing else relating to 1920. Choice
of the convention city will be made
o-m orrow, with indications pointing
to either Chicago or st. Louis and
with early June apparently settled
on as the date.
In addition to the National Com
mitteemen from every state, the Re-
publican state chairman all have
been invited to be here this week
and large number of editors of Re
publican newspapers are expected
to attend

Discussion of convention city
did not get far yesterday, the leaders
apparently being too interested in
other questions. The ST. Louis dele
cation, which arrived Sunday are
active.
Chicago's chances were helped
during the day by an announcement
by William II. Crocker, the national
committeeman for California, that
San Francisco, mentioned as a con-
tender for the honor, would not ac-
lively seek the convention but would
throw its influence for the Illinois
city.

FITS JEWELS
TO CHARACTER
Gemsmith Makes Them Ex-
press Personality; Meth
ods Unique

Chicago.-James II. Winn is
new type of gensmith. He calls him
self a psychological jeweler. He
fits jewels to character. He makes
gems express personality. He de-
signs jewelry to harmonic with the
soul type as well as the physical
type. Gems that go naturally with
a placid disposition look incongruous
on a person of fiery temper. There
are jewels that a blonde must never
wear and others that brunets ought
ALWAYS 10 wear.
Mr.. Winn's methods are unique.
When a customer comes to him with
an order, he does not rush to fill
it. He bows his client to a seat and
engages him in conversation. This
is what he calls his "soul clinic"
All the while he studies the mans
personality and the visual indices of
! it in the color of hair. eyes and
com pleXion. If the jewelry the man
has ordered will go with his type,
Mr.. Winn fihs the order. If not,
The suggests something more ex-
pressive of his inner and outer self
Blondes, he declare, are types of
summer. Sapphires, pearls. topazes,
ethysts, emeralds, turquoises,
aquamarines are Jewels for blondes.
Sapphires suggest the summer sky;
| emeralds the summer fields; ame-
thysts the cool depths of summer
streams; topazes the warm shadows
of summer foliage pearls the white
ness and warmth of summer bios
SONS.
Gems that symbolic the passion,
warmth and color of the south are
Tor brunets--rubies, garnets, fire
opals, tourmalines, all stones that
flash as with inner fires. Diamonds
and pearls, he declares, are the uni
versaI jewels. The radiance of
diamonds and the warm beauty of
pearls go equally well with blonde
or brunei.
A man ordered a diamond scarf
pin from Mr.. Winn. The psyche
logical jeweler put him through a
soul clinic. He found his customer
strong character, witty, quickly
lidSIlllS INTO anger ana as quickly
subsiding. A diamond, he decided,
would never do for such man.
What You require" said Mr.. Winn,
lis black opal" Exactly why was
Mr.. Winn's psychological secret. But
somehow when the man wore his
pin. the black opal seemed like au
emanation of his character.
| For coldly statue9que blonde.
he designed a necklace of diamonds
and frosted platinum and it SEEM
ed like a sonnet written to her
beauty. For another blonde with
slumbrous velvet eyes, he fashioned
necklace of jad whose cool polished
green seemed just the thing for
her cool, lily type and yet suggested
a touch of the Orient in keeping
with her eyes. For n dark woman
of rich, full-blooded type, he de-
signed a necklace of rose gold with
u great opal as a pendent.
Jewels" says Mr.. Winn, "are as
expressive as language. 7 try tc
grasp the dominant note in a per.
sons character and express it il
lgemS."

COMEBACK CLUB
COLUMBIA IDEA
Only Wounded Veterans Eli
gible, Plan Wins; Red
Cross Favors 1t

New YOrk-Wounded war veterans
only are eligible to- the Come Back
Club, a new organization at Columbia
University which is ambitious to be-
come a national intercollegiate asso-
citation.
More than 100 wounded and dis
abled ex-service men were at the
Morningside Heights institution at
the beginning of this school year.
They were men who, deprived of the
use of limb or otherwise unable to
earn college education. were sent to
the university by the Government
which pays their expenses.
Six weeks ago A. Bruce Conlin, one
of the wounded men, conceived the
scheme OF forming a club which
should be OF benefit to its members
and a power in college thought and
activity. With this purpose in mind
he assembled half a dozen of his
friends. also MANNED. and formed the
organization whose membership has
increased so rapidly.
The name "Co:ae- Back" was adopt
ed because it typifies the purpose and
hope of This group of determined men
whom the Government is giving a
chance of retrieving "A small part of
what they lost in France.
The Government and the Red Cross
are back of the movement in Colum-
bia as in all other institutions. A
post has been organized at New York
University and another at the Uni
versity of California. With Columbia
as the mother chapter" the Come
Back Club seems to win members in
every college and university in the
country.
delegate was despatched to the
Legion in Minneapolis to spread the
idea among the assembled veterans
Representatives from other college
pests of the legion caught the germ
and have set about forming Come
Back groups in their own institu-
tions. These associations are proving

launched yesterday at the Merchant
shipyard. And, incidentally, a
workman got drink of oham-
pagne.
Miss Dorthy Scallin, of Mitchell,

bottle against the side of the craft
but not hard enough. The bottle
only cracked. SO that only part OF
of champagne oozed out. A work
man on the deck of the ship. seeing
his chance, sprang forward and
pulled the bottle UP TO the deck.
Then he knocked off the top and
took a long drink.
Otherwise the launching was as
usual.
