FESTIVITIES FOR
OPEN AIR SCHOOL
Educational Department of
Civic Club Gives Turkey
Dinner and New Victrola

Part of the Christmas spirit of love
and service with which the whole city
abounds found vent to-day in the en-
tertaining of the children of the open
air schools.
The educational department of the
Civic club has always been especially
interested in these little ones.
Through its efforts a victrola with
forty records was presented to the
long-felt want and will be q source of
untold joy to teacher and scholars
alike. Appropriate exercises were
held at 1890 this morning with MEM
bers of the Civic club among the visi-
tors. The Girls Club of st. Paul S
Church was also represented. They
had prepared for each pupil a large
red tarlton stocking full of candy and
gifts to delight the hearts of childhood,
Turkey Dinner at Lochiel
At the old Lochlel school in the
southern part of the city the program
was opened promptly at l o'clock. 1t
was pleasing but short as all were inn
patient for the really great event-a
big turkey dinner with the members of
the educational department acting as
mattresses. Three huge turkeys, dressed,
cooked and delivered hot at the school
door by Rutherford, were the generous
donations of Mrs. John II. Weiss, Mrs.
Marlin Olmsted and Mrs. Orville
Hickok. Then there were mashed po-
tatoes, celery. jellies and jams and
floods of rich brown gravy. How
those children did eat. 1t showed the
wonders which can happen to young
appetites flcm living constantly in the
fresh air.
Then, when there did not seem to be
room for another mouthful, along
came ice cream and cake, the kind
gift of George f. Watt, manager of the
Elliott Fisher Typewriter company.
To carry away as reminders, Harry
Kreidler had donated a crate of
oranges and Mrs. c. f. Ryder, a mem
Der of the educational department of
the Civic club had given candy canes
the very sort old Santa himself al
ways brings.
1t was a big day and the children,
tired, happy and full to the brim, went
home to tell all about it and to Won
der about the treat In store for them
tomorrow at the Tech High school.

CAPITOL HILL
BRUMBAUCH has CABINET
CuESSERS Still At Sea
Governor-elect Preserving Profoundest
Reticence Concerning Any of the
Appointments He win Make When
He Assumes Ship of State

Up to the present very little can be
learned. even in the way of gossip, con-
eerning the cabinet that Governor
Brumbsugh proposes to appoint when
he takes Office next week, and the quid
nuncs, those who have heretofore pro-
fessed to have had line on prospective
cabinets, are all at sea. and have given
up guessing. DIR. Brumbaugh is preserv-
ing the profoundest reticenee concern
ing any of his appointments, and all
eonjeetnres are mere guesses, and moth
ing else. for he has repeatedly declared
that he will make no mention of them
until ne deems proper and even then he
will not say when that time shall be.
The latest talk concerning the new
Governors immediate family is that his
choice for private secretary lies be-
tween James Hiatt and Harry p. Ne
Dewitt, both of Philadelphia, and both
close personal friends. Mr.. Hiatt had
charge of DR.. BrumbaHgh s preliminary
campaign for Governor and directed af-
fairs from headquarters in Phindel-
phia during the campaign that ended
in his election. He is secretary of the
Philadelphia Board of Education at
salary of $4,000 per year, and as such
has been very close to Dr.. Brumbaugh,
who was at the head of the Philadel
phis public schools.
Mr.. Dewitt was formerly Philadel-
phia newspaper man, a political writer
on the ''Press,' and for the last four
years has had several positions requir
ing keen executive ability under the
Tener administration. the last being
chairman of the Commission on Eco
nomy and Efficiency. He personally had
charge of the Brumbaugh party on its
tour of Pennsylvania, for the reason
that his knowledge of politics and
large political acquaintaneeship in the
State were invaluable adiuncts in a
campaign of that magnitude. 1t is
agreed that either one of these gentle
men would make an ideal private sec
retary who would have to stand be-
tween the Governor s private room and
the many who would be anxious TO
have personal interviews with the chief
executive. A story is current that the
announcement of the entire cabinet
will be made when DR.. Brumoaugh ar
rives in Harrisburg next Monday.
Board to Meet
The Board of Revenue Commission
ers will hold a meeting tomorrow TO
finish up its business under the present
administration.
Action on Appointments
The Senate Committee on Executive
Nominations, new committee in
charge of the nominations made by
Governor Tener, will be announced on
next Monday evening, anu Will at once
proceed TO consider the recess nomina-
tions. Among these are the Public
Service Commission, and number OF
other State officials and members of
public Institution boards.
