THOU SHALT NOT
KILL, =" MAKES HIT
Playlet Gives Miss Crosman Op-
pOrtunity to Display Her Splen-
did Dramatic Ability

What the woman bears, who sits at
home patiently waiting-alone-w
her husband or son is marching proud
ly away to the tune of martial music
is dramatically depicted by Henrietta
Crosman, in her playlet, Thou Shalt
Not Kill" at the Orpheum this week.
Miss Crosman's act gives her an
opportunity to display her rare ability
at emotional acting. And to say that
she made a "hit" with the Orpheum's
first nighters'' would be putting it
mildly. It's safe venture that there
wasn't q single pair of dry eyes at the
climax of Miss Crosmans act She is
ably supported by Frank l.. Davis and
Gerald Bidgwood.
Although Miss Crosman's act is of
exceptional merit, the Orpheum man
agement doesn't attempt to force it
to carry through an inferior bill. Every
act was greeted with it's own share Of
deserved applause
The Gagnaux, in their novelty act,
were refreshing, and Milo, who is
billed with a large Interrogation mark,
was indeed surprise. In Milo's vocal
organs there must be combined sew
eral ''Hope-Jones $4,000 unit orches-
tras, about which we have been hear
ing so much lately. 1t wouldn't be
fair to describe Milo's act-might spoil
the surprise-but. Milo deserves all the
vigorous applause that he received and
then some. Mr.. and Mrs. McGreevy.
in an impossible "rube' act were well
Iapplauded Swor and Mack in a black
face act liven things up a bit with
their comedy and viii and Kemp do
some new stunts in an acrobatic act.
Altogether it's one of the best bal
anced bills seen at the Orpheum this
season.

HOME RELIEF WORK
DRAWING To CLOSE
All Departments, Excepting Red
Cross VIII Cease Activities,
Tomorrow

Perhaps the last contribution to the
Home and War Relief Committee fund
was received last week from little
girl, Avis Ann Hickok, of Front and
Locust streets, who gave S2.15 for use
in buying supplies. The contribution
represented self-denial on the part of
the little miss for several weeks.
Presents of clothing for themselves
and their children marked the last
payday for the women sewing for the
committee during the winter. More
than $50 of them received over $500
in wages and each a big bundle of
clothing. All work must be returned
by tomorrow, when additional gar
ments will be given the workers. Gar
ments are to be returned whether
finished or not.
All departments close after to-mor-
row, excepting the Red Cross, which
viii remain open until Saturday At
the home of Miss Mary Robinson, Ill
State street, and Miss Ann Mccormick,
800 North Front street. contributions
will be received for shipment abroad
after the Headquarters close.
The work of Miss Edith Leason,
artist netted the Red Cross an addi-
>tional SO last week, making $50 in
all, which will be sent to the British
Red Cross.
Among the contributions received
last week were thirty big packages of
tobacco from a local dealer for use by
the Allies.

Rules; Officials Sore
Special 10 The Telegraph

Philadelphia. March 30.-The East
ern League basketball season was de-
clared closed. with Reading and Cam
den tied for first honors. and the
directors of both organizations were
fined s25 for not notifying President
Scheffer of arrangements for the play
ing of the tie at a special meeting of

the seasons schedule in a tie for first
place and arrangements were made for
a play-off. Two games were played
each team winning one. When ar
rangements were made for the third
game President Scheffer was not
notified and there was dispute about
tickets between the two clubs.
AS a result the Reading team failed
to appear to play Camden for the final
game Saturday night.

Author Says Things

The House last night sustained Gov
ernor Brumbaughs veto of the bill to
designate the mountain laurel as the
State flower of Pennsylvania, after
Mr.. Geiser, Northampton. sponsor of
the bill, had criticised the veto and
then asked that it be sustained. Mr..
Geiser declared that he had presented
the bill in response to many requests
and that it was supported by many
prominent men. He denied that the
laurel was poisonous. The vote to
sustain the Governor was ia to 6.
About the same time Mr. Dunn,
Philadelphia, introduced bill to
make the myrtle the State flower.

More Use Of Coal Rrlquets.

A substantial increase in the guam
tity of coal briquets manufactured
and sold in 1914 is announced by the
United States geological survey.
A tendency to operate in large
units is illustrated in the statistics Of
this collateral branch of coal mining,
the smaller and experimental plants
going out of existence and the new
enterprises being of greater capacity.
The production of briquetted fuel
in 1914 amounted to 144,635 short tons,
valued at $1,123,17S, an increase COM
pared with 1913 of 62,776 short tons
in quantity and $115,851 in value.
This shows the greatest activity in
coal briquetting in the history of the
industry.
The production in 1914 in the east
ern states increased from 1924 short
tons, valued at $240,643, to 101, 782
tons, valued at $273,O46; in the cen
trail states from 1927 tons, valued
at s36O,4O8 to $685. tons, valued at
$424,569, and in the Pacific coast
states from 46,328 short tons, valued
at $4O6,276, to 54,528 tons, valued at
S425,563.
Eight plants used coal-tar pitch for
a binder, four used secret binders and
one used petrolastic cement. No
binder is required in the briquetting
of carbon residues from oiI-gas works.
