known here, while he was in the act
of addressing u labor meeting on u
street corner of Columbia, the larg-

lice protection in the borough, fl
nally fought their way through t.

With Cox out of it's reach, the
crowd turned it's attention to the
Socialist headquarters and com
pletely ransacked it,. Their work
done there, the citizens of the Dor
ough marched to the home of ]. P.
Bremen, a prominent Socialist. Con-
stable Blair, of the borough, appeal
ed to the crowd to be calm and

Who Painted Signs
on Lincoln Highway
Red, White and Blue?

The most serious question before
the public now is: ''Who painted the
red, white and blue signs on the
Lincoln Highway between Easton
and Pittsburgh? MI. Jennings. of
Harrisburg and the Lincoln High
way staff. is deeply perplexed as to
the origin of the mysterious signs.
He has stated hat every effort is
being made to unravel the knotty
problem, but up to the moment of
rushing into print, no acceptable So
luton had been offered.
The p~erplexing signs, are painted
like the well-known flag of France,
only sideways so that to see the like
ness n must PROSTATE oneself on
the roadside. AS this is being done
very little this season, we would
better describe the sign as reading
from top to bottom, red, white, and
blue" If our memory serves us
correctly there is a YER ornate IL"
adjoining the midriff of said signs.
The ~best-known detectives of Har-
risburg, Pittsburgh, and way stations
are busy at present trying to ferret
out the culprit. 1t has been whis-
pered that the motor club of Pitts
burgh was responsible for a certain
portion of the work, but this has
not as yet been established.

Senator New Makes
Statement Regarding
Arrest of Harry New
BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, July 8. - Senator
New, of Indiana, last night issued
the following statement regarding
the arrest in Los Angeles on a
charge of murder of Harry S. New,
who claims to be a son of the Sena-
tor:
II have just this to say about this
whole d~eplorable matter. More than
thirty years ago when 1 was in my
twenties and unmarried 1 knew Mrs.
Burger. There was lever at any
time a question of marriage between
us. Conditions arose which 1 did
not care to dispute which resulted
in my doing everything in my power
to make amends then and later.
Whatever 1 did in that direction was
of my w accord and no one else
had anything whatever to do with
it. The affair was ended thirty years
ago. Since that time the people of
my home city are the best judges
of what my life has been. I never
w shirked any responsibility that
has come to me and 1 never SHALL"

This Actually Removes
Superfluous Hair Roots
entirely New and instantaneous
MethOd)

By the introduction in this country
of what is known as the 'phelactine
process" any woman can o rid
herself completely of annoying super
nuous hair or fuzz. The process is en-
tirely new, different from all others,
and far better-because it actually
removes the roots, as well as the sur
face hair! 1t is instantaneous. per-
fectly harmless, odorless and non
irritating.
Just get a stick of %phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple di-
rections-and see the hair roots come
out. with your own eyes! No depila-
tory or electrical treatment can pro-
luce this result. The skin is left soft,
smooth and hairless as a child's. Phe-
lactine can be used with absolute
safety-one could even eat it with i'm
punity.
