Andil Bureau ol ClreulaHonH arm I fKvm r' AUTOMOBILES AND COURTESY At a meeting a few days ago of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce a movement was started to promote greater consideration for public safety and comfort. The courtesies of the road are to be emphasized and the effort made to create better standards of good manners on the public highways.

The automobile manufacturers who make up this organization evidently realize the difficulty of this problem of adjusting motor vehicles to conditions of traffic created Ions before the motor car came into existence. It has sometimes seemed as if the sentiment of the motorist was one of tolerance toward a slow, dull public, who were behind the times enough to walk or depend hordes. This is of course vinfair to the majority of motorists, who are 'careful and considerate. Hut no scatter how courteous the great majority may be. the reckless and ar ojrnnt minority give a bad name to the whole tribe, ilonrp.

It is refreshing? to read that this Chamber of Commerce is planning a campaien of education for such drivers as need It, to promote a greater degree of responsibility and a sense of the value of the rules and courtesies of the road. J. Drake, of Detroit, as chairman of the committee, has before him this task, to promote the growth of such a spirit of good manners that a breach of the same will bring contempt or. the discourteous driver. When the speeder and road hog will be considered just as boorish as the man who violates the laws cf table manners, something will be accomplished.

There are many people for whom bad form has more terrors than the law. There are many men Who would feel chagrined and even disgraced, were they to forget, on entering a room, to let the ladies pass first. Yet some of these same men wilt honking down through a busy street, twenty five miles an hour, abruptly ordering the public to watt until they pass. Thu kind of thing will some day be regarded in the same light as errors at table. MILITARY SERVICE AND BUSINESS When discussion began about the means by which the United States army could be strengthened, it was at once recognized that perhaps the greatest obstacle in the way lies i.i the difficulty of adjusting the demands of military training to business life.

Employers are loath to let their young men absent themselves from work to attend military camps. Young men are fearful that such absences would be an obstacle in the way of their business success. However, the young man who takes a course of training with a militia organization, or should take one with the proposed Continental army, would learn many things not taught in business Offices. If he devotes himself to inihtai work with energy aiij zeal, he' should in due course of time attain some promotion, where he would be placed in command of a small siiuad of men. Jle would then get practice in a very valuable art, that of commanding men.

Wanv are to ypensiw military schools1 and colleges for costly courses, largely to acquire just this valuable gift. The ability to di rect a body of men, command their respect, enforce prompt obedience and discipline, is a superb, training in leadership. It develops self confidence ability to think quickly, meet emergencies. Many men fail in life for lack of just this group of qualities. Whether or not a boy was promoted to any military command or not, he would find military service rewarding.

The out door life would give him physical vigor. The leadership of the alert and active men who come to the front in military life would be mentally stimulating. He would form pleasant associations and enjoy experiences far more interesting than those of ordinary town and business life. Business firms may at first be reluctant to see their young men absent on military duty. After they have seen how the fellows grow and develop under competent military training, they may conpete With each other to got boys that have been through this discipline.

To make military work popular with the business community, encampments must be strictly conducted. There must be no dissipation, liquor and other vices mufefee strictly banished, and the men must return showing in their physical vigor that the life has been wholesome in all respects. FIVE CENT MEALS la the real cost of living so high, after all? "We arc led to ask this question by the statement, recently published, setting forth that for a year past the cost of boarding the prisoners in tho Berks county jail amounted to fifteen cents a day, or to be more accurate, fourteen and six thirteenths of a cent, for each twenty four hours. This would seem to show that tha real trouble with our food bills is extravagance and waste. The hoarders in the ornate, castellated structure at the head of Penn street are practically all adults and on that account would be supposed to require the maximum of nourishment, but we are not informed that 'any of them become anaemic or are reduced to living skeletons on their nickel ration.

Most of them live out their terms of detention and not a few of them emerge from the county boarding house in better physical condition than when they enter. They are fed, we presume, on scientific principles, just as the boilers in well managed power plants are fed. The amount necessary to keep these human machines in going condition has been figured out, and that amount and no more is dished out. The theory that a man eats to live and does not live to eat is there fully applied. This showing cannot fail to delight some of those economists who arv constantly figuring how much wo might all become it we would only put a crimp in our appetites and forgot that we had stomachs and palates and other Innards that about three times a and sometimes more often, set up' a craving for provender.

No doubt we really ought to do this. By strenuously cultivating the habit of abstinence, we might even cut off a few cents from the jail allowance, for a man is permitted to be more severe w'th himself than with guests, and tho men in the Jail are the county's guests. It Is to be feared, however, tha' the economists will have a hard time in persuading us to such a course. The good Lord has filled the earth, hereabouts, with good things and we are possessed with the idea that we ought to enjoy them in reasonable way. and sometimes, perhaps, a little unreasonably.

We have an idea that there is more to eating than there is to feeding a boiler. We will live on five cent meals, if we ore compelled to, but if we have tin price, we wil lexceed that limit in varying degrees. Our training, ror generations, has been in the direction of good cheer, and though we re thrifty there is little hope of breaking us of the square meal habit. The same brokers who a few weeks ago were trying to put the market up on the ground of the profits that would acrue to this country on account of the war contracts, are now trying to put it down on account of the loss of business that will come When the wir stops. Just One Application and the Hairs Vanish (Modes of Today) A harmless, yet very effective, treatment is here given for the quick removal of hairy growths: Mix enough powdered delatone and water to cover the undesirable hairs, apply paste and after 2 or 3 minutes remove, wash the skin and the hairs have vanished.

One application usually is sufficient, but to be certain of results, buy the delatone in an original package. Adv. Voice of the Press In Short Measure Our New Battleship If 12 gun battleships will score 75 per cent more hits than battleships mounting only eight guns, as naval experts at Washington assert, it would be folly to sacrifice the certain advantage of numbers in a broadside to the problematical advantage of increased weight. Noticing would be gained by arming the new dreadnoughts to be authorized by Congress with a smallo number of lG inch guns if a vessel carrying a larger number of 14 inch guns is capable of doings more damage to an enemy, rne prooiem on iic and can be worked out by the rule of three. The effect of a hit wii4 a 16 lnrh shell is not much greater.

relatively, than that pi a single hit with a 14 inch shell; it is the number of strikes that makes gunf.ro effective. It is claimed for tine 16 inch gun that its execution at ranges of more than 15,000 yards would be greater, but this is merely a theoretical advantage. The naval battle in the North Sea, in which the German battle cruiser Blucher was sunk, was fought at ranges between 15,000 and 20.000 yards, and the heaviest guns carried by the British fleet on this occasion were 13 inch weapons. The Germans had nothing larger than 11 inch guns; yet their ships, it is said, did much damage to the super battle cruisers Tiger and Lion. One of the latter was even asserted to have been lost.

Anyhow, the superiority of guns of very large calibre over guns of somewhat less weight has not been demonstrated. In this connection the information of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, that neither side in the battle mentioned scored more than one per cent, of hits, is interesting. Gunfire in long range naval engagements being so wasteful, the larger the calibre of the guns the greater tho waste. In its recommendations with regard to the two super dreadnoughts to he authorized by Congress, the General Board of the Navy includes armaments of ten 16 inch guns for each. This increase in weight i armament involves an increase of the displacement of the vessels to 32,000 tons and, of course, a corresponding increase of their cost.

That these increases would result in such an increase of etiiciency as to justify putting so many eggs in one basket remains to be shown. There are no acjual lessons of experience to bach up the claim that such would be the result. Kxeprience has shown, however, that sliced in a battleship is a most important factor of efficiency; and in this respect the board gos only to the extent of recommending "the highest speed attainable without sacrificing armament, armor or fuel capacity." The fighting which have obtained most credit in this war, are the British super battle cruisers, capable of steaming at a rate of approximately 30 knots an hour.

"The Blind ness of Virtue" is a beautiful phce of work, dealing with a stupendously difficult subject with the most dexterous blending of delicacy, dramatic strength and wholesome candor. Cosmo Hamilton, the author, has taken a very grave theme and makes a tremendous indictment against the modern fashion of bringing up children in ignorance of the meaning of a certain impulse, presenting a plea to mothers to tell their daughters frankly ail the laws of nature before they arrive at years of possible indiscretion through ignorance. Tho play, as presented by the Orpheum Players, is the biggest sermon on the subject that has ever been preached. Meliarry a Favorite The play is produced with the usual effectiveness that has characterized every play billed at Orpheum, and the parts are eastXespe cially well. Every one of the cast deserves praise for the careful in terpetation of the difficult roles assigned them with special mention to Sam Meharry, the leading man, who rises to big dramatic heights in the third act.

His scene with "the Vicar" is the best bit of work he has portrayed since the opening of the season. As Archibald Graham, the young man who has always been suspected and who was placed in a rather "risque" position through the ignorance of the vicar's daughter, his work could not be improved upon, and the many curtain calls that he was compelled to respond to signified the audience's praise of his excellent work. Each play finds S.tim Meharry's popularity growing, and the stock patronage at the Orpheum is a discriminating public. Blindness of Virtue Helen Meinken, In the role of Effie Pcmberton, who grew up without learning the truth from her parents, was, as usual, excellent. Miss Meinken is gifted with good looks and a most pleasing personality, and her youthful appearance was particularly suitable for the role.

In the third act, a rather difficult scene to handle, Miss Meinken was especially pleasing Effie Pemberton, as portrayed by Miss Helen Meinken, is a character that might have stepped out of real life, and her pleasing performance is one of the charming features in "The Blindness of Virtue." The supporting cast is very good indeed. The Rev. Harry Pemberton of William K. Blako is played with sincerity and the faithful Interpretation assures stock patrons of this sterling actor's ability as an excellent delineator of various types of life. William E.

Blake has been excellent in every role he has thus far given, but his "Vicar" in "The Blindness of Virtue" will be liked better than any character he has thus far portrayed. Helen Grayce, as Mrs. Pemberton, gave an excellent study of the unas sumed minister's wife. Naturalness and restraint are two qualifications that stand out prominently in Miss Grayce's ability, and she can always be relied upon to give a finished performance of every role she essays. Frances Vounge played a small character part of Cookie effectively.

Ninita Bristow was particularly good as Mary Ann, a rather new rolo for this popular actress, while John Mack's characterization of Lemming and Karl Ritche's Collins were typical roles well portrayed. "The Blindness of Virtue" Is a play that all mothers and daughters and fathers and sons should witness. This afternoon souvenir photographs of Ninita Bristow. Next Tuesday, "Dividend Day," when every patron will receive their share of the dividend declared at the Orpheum. CEMETERY COMPANY The stated annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Charles Evans Cemetery Company was held at the city office of the company, 520 Washington street.

The most beautiful sky line in the world is suddenly in flames and the citizens and their families flee for their lives. The American Navy is beaten and sunk, the invaders land, enter our homes, insult our families, and the death sentence of those of our citizens who survive is read by the commanding officers of the enemy and everyone finally pays the penalty. Statistics as pointed out by Hudson Maxim, an international authority on arms and ammunition, shows that bur nation Is in no position to resist such an invasion, and his endeavor to drive home the truth about "Pefenceless America" Is emphatically brought out in "The Battle Cry of Peace."
