STRIKES ONE AT NOON
independence Hall Clock Causes Con-
sternation in Square.

When the big clock in the tower Of
independence Hall doomed one dull
stroke at noon today persons sitting in
the square below Jumped from their
benches and pulled out their watches.
i've missed my lunch" exclaimed one
He looked at his watch, which showed IL
o'clock. The hands on the clocks big
dial pointed at u too.
The mystery is explained through the
fact that the clock is being overhauled.
William Gibbons, caretaker OF the clock,
and his assistants went to lunch shortly
before noon and failed TO replace piece
of mechanism, which caused the clock
to strike but once instead of ~ times.
Cficials in Independence Hall say that
the clock may be expected to show &C
centricities for several days. The re-
pairs which began last week. constitute
the first general overhauling to the clock
since II was installed in 1876.
Last week its hands were missing for
several hours.

COLLEGE GIRLS DISPLEASED
New System of "Cuts" at Bryn Mawr
Not in Favor.

Because the girls of Bryn Mawr Col
lege have expressed themselves dissatis-
ned with the new system of "cuts" which
went into effect Thursday, Miss NJ. Carey
Thomas. president of the college eX-
planned the change after chapel exercises
today.
The system is misunderstood said
Miss Thomas. THE penalty is not as
severe as accounts have made 1t, No
student viii be expelled or barred from
examinations for cutting For a certain
number of absences from Tecltations and
lectures one point will be taken on the
term grade, and for cuts above eight
each quarter, two points will be de-
Quoted"
Although the student body has been as
sured that only girls with low marks who
make cutting" habit will be In danger
of failing in examinations the Students
Association is said TO be on the point of
making an appeal against the new system
The girls prefer a rule similar to those
in some mems colleges, where the num-
her OF cuts allowed each quarter equals
the number of study hours which the
student has each week.

Prominent Jews of this city today ex-
pressed their approval of the statement
OF Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, founder OF
the National Farm School. near Doyles-
town. that the immigrant Jew had a much
better opportunity of developing into a
good citizen by engaging in agricultural
work rather than toiling in a sweatshop
and sleeping in tenement
Before gathering of prominent men
interested In civic work. Doctor Kraus-
kopf spoke yesterday at the nth annual
meeting of the Farm School. In his ad-
dress the founder predicted at the end
of the European conflict thousands of
Jews would seek their fortune in America
MY advice to the immigrant Jews is
not to invade the tenement section or
cities where sweatshops are located" said
Doctor Krauskopf.
Jews have proven that they are fitted
for agriculture, and | urge that they in
wade the West and other sections Of the
country where the soil is good"

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
FRATERNITIES MUST GO
Students Up in Arms and Declare
They Will Retain Secret Orders.

The Board of Education Is going to
suppress secret fraternities in the high
schools, and several hundred pupils of
the Central High School, Broad and
Green streets, are up in arms" over the
ultimatum they received this morning
DIR. Robert Ellis Thompson, principal Of
the school,, told more than 1900 pupils in
assembly this morning that the Board
of Education was going to exclude fra
ternities, which were believed to inter-
fere with the health, welfare or Indus
try Of the pupils.
The students were placed on their
honor and cards were Immediately dis
triputed on which the pupils were asked
TO write the names of the fraternities 10
which they belong. Regardless of the
warning that false ENTRY would
mean dismissal, many students inserted
false names and others tore up the cards
in rage.
Doctor Thompson announced that fra
tcrnities that hold secret meetings with
OUTSIDE relations and rooms of their own,
VIII be excluded. The shock was all the
more severe as many of the most popular
pupils are members. Many of the ath-
letic stars are fraternity members The
concensus of opinion. however, Is that
after the first storm of protest, the pupils
VIII decide to give up the fraternities
rather than the school.
It Is estimated that there are i5 or more
traternities In the Central High School
with membership of possibly 200. When
DOCTOR thompson issued the cards he told
the pupils that II one card was not
enough he could furnish as many more
as were needed. Each card had room
for eight traternitles
Doctor Thompson also told the pupils
that in former years the pupils had con-
tested in court the right of the Board of
to interfere with the frater-
mites, and that in each case the opinion
of the board had been sustained
The decision of the board, Doctor
Thompson said. had been reached after
great Ndeliberation. He pointed to the
danger of dismissal and hoped the pupils
would act with moderation and true
school spirit. Among the fraternities of
the Central High School are the Dutch
Company the styx Tux and the Satel-
lites.

the headquarters in the city Hall Court
yard today
For. in accordance with the appeal
sent out by the Child Federation which
has the work in charge, the greater
number of the gift boxes revealed warm
clothing rather than the proverbial
Christmas toys.
And this Is exactly what the fedora
ton wants-new clothing and plenty of
f. or money to buy new clothing
"We realize thoroughly" said Albert
Cross, managing director of the cam
paign, how much joy Christmas toys
would bring to the little kids over there.
but we think that when their homes
have been devastated and they are with
out sufficient clothing In freezing weather
we should be practical rather than SEN
timental and therefore. all of the money
that is sent to us will be used to buy
clothing"
When the big United States collier
Jason, which has been designated as the
