National Federation
Discusses Many Phases
of Civic Welfare Work
Br Associated Prcss

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE National
Civic Federation opened it's sixteenth
annual meeting to-day with prominent
civic walfare workers from through
out the country present. Subjects for
discussion included preparedness, i'm
migration, government regulation of
private industry, and other problems.
The woman's section of the federation
opened a separate two days meeting.
National preparedness featured to-
days program, which was given over
largely to presentation of committee
reports.
Seth Low. of New York, president of
the federation, sounded the first note
on preparedness, when in his opening
address he declared that if the United
States is to prevent the "antagonisms
and hates of Europe and it's age-long
tradition of empire" from finding,
lodgment on this continent after the
war, it must be ''by the strength of
our own right arm and by the will
ingness to die for what is certainly
precious TO ourselves and for what we
believed to be no less precious to hu-
manity."

REAL INCENSE OF
EGYPT FOR BALL
Jar From Ancient Shrine Do
mated to Committee For Big
Charity Event

All the time you're watching the
mystic Egyptian dance of the vases"
the premier number of the dancing
pageant of the charity ball, Thursday
night, you will probably be pleasantly
but wonderingly conscious of Pc
culiar fragrance in the hall. Flowers,
of course. will produce some of it;
but there'r be something distinctive
about the quaint old ancient dance of
the Egyptians that will keep you
puzzling-until. perhaps, you glance at
the curious five-foot- high bronze stands
that flank the stage.
Just before the dance begins two
barbarically garbed Egyptians will step
from the wings and place these stands
at either a:so of the stage. Then
they'll touch a lighted taper to the
little bronze pan that tops the stands.
And then YOU'LL notice the peculiar
fragrance. There is just little story
about that.
Nearly two years ago local globe
trotter" while visiting along the Upper
Nile got a jar of real incense from a
native-at least the purchaser bought
il for native old stuff. And when the
charity ball committee planned to put
on a dance of antiquity the tourist
offered the committee the use of his
jar of Egyptian incense to add a
realistic touch
During the next day or so the deco
rators will begin the work of turning
Chestnut street Auditorium into a vast
garden of Old japan. Other details
for the big event of the winters social
season are practically completed.
Boxes Go Fast
To date only one box for the bal
remains for sale. All told there had
been but sixteen, as the committee wa:
desirous OF allowing all the space pos.
sible for the dancing. The sale oi
boxes opened Saturday and fifteen o.
! the boxes were disposed Of Incl
/ dentaIIy the committee netted S4Sl

Former Governor Stuart
For Vice-Presidenc
Special to the TeIegrath

Philadelphia, Jan. II. Th e
Philadelphia North American in an
article to-day reports that the Union
League of that city will suggest
Former Governor Edwin S. Stuart as
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for vice-president. The news
paper says:
Governor Stuart himself has been
in ignorance of this discussion, which
has been entirely informal. and would
probably have negatived any such
suggestion if it had been presented to
him. No attempt has been made to
create anything like a movement in
Stuart's behalf. but among league
members, who divided themselves in
allegiance to Taft or Roosevelt Gin
1912, there is a substantial unanimity
of opinion that Stuart would make a
universally acceptable candidate for
the presidency on a reunion
ticket"
