PUBLIC ATHLETIC
LEAGUE NEEDED
Social Workers Discuss Ad-
vantages of Center For
Children of City

Need and advantages OF social CEN
ter and public athletic league in this
city were pointed out by speakers last
night at n meeting of the Social Work
ers' Club held at the Harrisburg Hos
pital
An open discussion followed a re-
port and talk by Miss Matilda Hester,
who told of the good work accom-
plished by a similar center and league
in Baltimore. Miss Hester, as rep
resentative of the local Social Work
ers' Club, investigated the work of this
league and reported last night. Plans
discussed last night called for the CO.
operation of the schools. athletic clubs
and other organizations in this city.
Prof. j. j. Brehm, school supervisor,
then told of the need of asocial cen
ter, and explained how children in
communities form "impromptu social
centers.' The plan was started recent
ly by members of the club advocating
the move. DIR. II. r. Wiener at one
meeting spoke on the need of proper
entertainment and amusement, and
later the Rev. II. B. johnson, advo-
Gated the formation of a city wide
athletic league. The club last evening
was the guest of William Nj. Condor,
of the hospital. An
entertainment of piano and vocal
music together with recitations fea-
tured the social hour.

Oxford Boundaries
Have Been Extended

Oxford, Eng, Dec. 2S. The an
nouncement that the official "boun-
daries" of Oxford University have
been extended to include all the
country within a radius of three and
half miles of "CarfaX," alters one
of the most venerable and binding
regulations of the ancient university
Hitherto residence at Oxford
University, which is one of the re-
quisites for a degree, has meant n
house or lodgings within a radius Of
one and half miles. The extension
of the limits is a concession to the
speeding up of locomotion in these
modern days.
"CarfaX" from which as a center
the frontiers are measured, is the col
lege term for the meeting place of
High Street and three other thorough
fares in the center of the city. The
word is a corruption from the medie
val Latin "quadrifurcus," or four
forked.

MARY PICKFORDS AMBITION:
RETURN TO SPEAKING STAGE
Pen Picture of Girl Who Prefers East West and
100000 q Year

Philadelphia, Jan. 3. - Once upon a
time, which is the way all really good
good stories begin, there was q little
glrl, and she sat curled up in a great
Dig leather armchair in the office of
the Famous Players studio, and she
was intensely human, and declared,
after she had crossed her heart, SOL
emnly, never would she play Juliet.
And she was very natural, and assert
ed solemnly that she had refused
$500, 600 year, in real money, from
the Triangle Films because sc wouldn't
go to California.
Mary Pickford is a psychological
study. Contradictory, elusive, eerie
not the railroad of a similar sounding
name). Mary Pickford is a being of
moods and lenses. a mass of nerves,
and, If the truth must be told, an lun-
usually sweet and charming girl.
All L haVe-my future prospects,
my ambition, my everything that the
future may hold in store for me-all
that l will gladly sacrifice to make my
mother happy" said Miss Pickford,
ana she tucked one little, white booted
loot underneath her and made herself
comfortable. You see, mother is my
manager, my trainer; in fact, she is
everything to me. / never see the
money L earn, and in fact. l seldom
even see the checks, l believe that un-
less my bank recognized my iace l
would have difficulty in getting a
check cashed, as | am unknown
there"
Miss Pickford sighed dismally. The
burden of S174,000 a year earning ca
pacity did not seem to weigh heavily
upon her; yet she sighed.
Il am accused of being a good busi-
ness woman, but when the Triangle
Films made me the splendid offer of
$4,000 week l rejected 1t out of SEN
timent, because | wanted to stay in the
East, where my friends live, where
wish to live my life. / do not value
money as money. 1t is a necessary
and pleasant evil, but it will never be
my god and 1t never will control me-
There are better tings in life than
money-friendship of those we love-
the love of our friends and, perchance,
the admiration and the applause of
the world"
Miss Pickford readjusted a little
toque hat of blue and white, smiled
a wistful little smile and continued:
Il have many ambitions. | love
my work, and this is not said for eff
feet. The fact that / wore myself out
with work in the last twelve months
and that my only recreation is sleep

while, after the days work is done, |

ROOSEVELT TO BE
OPPOSED BY TAFT
Will Use All His Influence 10
Balk Plans of
Colonel

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 4.-If Theo-
dore Roosevelt wins the Republican
Presidential nomination next year it
Will have to be done against the oppo-
sition of William Howard Taft together
with all the influence that Professor
Taft can command. Moreover. it is
the opinion of Professor Taft that the
party in nominating either himself or
Colonel Roosevelt would be counting
defeat at the polls in November.
The position of Professor Taft with
respect to this absorbing question at
the present time is made clear in q
dispatch sent to the Cincinnati Times
Star, owned by c. P. Taft, brother of
the former President. The dispatch
was written by Gus ]. Karger, the cor
respondent here of the Times-Star
who was closely identified with Mr.
Taft in 1908 and 1912, acting as his
press representative, a position which
he continued during Mr.. Taft's White
House incumbency.
ScornS "Fads and Isms'
Ex-president Taft in the interview
declares that neither himself nor Colo
mel Roosevelt will be in the running
Mr.. Taft also oberved that none but a
real Republican should have any part
in determining the nominee, and con-
cluded that the party would not be-
come progressive party, with the
fads and isms of that party" 1t is his
opinion that the Republicans are not
dependent on the Progressive leaders
for success in the next campaign.

LIBRARY MAKES
RECORD IN 1915
Over 111,100 Books Were Cir
culated in the City and vi
cinity in the Year

Circulation of books by the Harris
burg Public Library during the year
1915 reached the high water mark in
the history of the Library, the record
OF circulation compiled to-day by Miss
Alice R. Eaton, the librarian, showing
exactly 111,110 books circulated. Not
far from third of this number was
of books for children. In 1914 the
circulation was 1O2,126. This figure
was made in the first year of the Lii
brary in its handsome new home at
Front and Walnut streets. which was
made possible by the benefactions of
Mrs. Sara J. Haldeman-Haly
While considerable percentage of
the books circulated included fiction
yet it was noticeable that there was a
demand for books with a distinctly
educational value and that many of
good serious reading type were used.
In answering questions the Library did
notable work, as high as forty a day

tions of books were made for schools.

cial collections being arranged by Miss
Eaton and her assistants for certain
dates such as Memorial Day, Fourth
of July, the Municipal Celebration.
and Thanksgiving day,with
books suggesting holiday gifts dis

Probably the most notable feature
of the work was the children's story
telling hour which was conducted for
about two-thirds of the year by Miss
Fair and which is now in charge of
Miss Clendinan and Miss Forney. Each
Saturday morning the children were
gathered in the assembly hall. everv-
one being welcome to attend. and
given an hour or so of story telling,
On several occasions the hour had TO
be repeated because of the attendance.

follows: January, 9,937; February,

DR.. BRUMBAUGHI IS
DOOMED IN WEST
Letter in Chicago Tribune Sug-
gests His Availability
For President

Govrnor Brum baugh is strongly
doomed for the presidency by Orvile
Brewer in a letter written to the Chi
cago Tribune. He discusses the Gov
ernor's career and points out the ele-
ments of his strength.
In his letter Mr. Brewer says:
when Martin G.. Brumbaugh carried
Pennsylvania by an overwhelming
majority of over 100000 the shadow
of another triumphant Republican
victory which was to come two years
later could be clearly seen. MIR. Brum-
baugh possesses in marked degree all
of those qualities which make for
great craftsmanship. He is a scholar
a graduate of the University of Penn
sylvania, college president, commits
sioner of education in Porto Rico. su-
perintendent of schools in Philadel-
phia, and a lecturer on educational
and economic subjects. He is a Chris
tian gentleman of the highest type of
character. He is a large man with
magnificent physique, magnetic. whole
souled, frank, and powerful. He is a
diplomat in the best sense of the term
and has proven himself capable of
bringing harmony out of the most
difficult situations.
The reason why | believe Mr.
Brumbaugh is to be the nominee of
the Republican convention is this: %
He can bring from Pennsylvania thir-
ty-eight votes to the electoral college;
CD he is the only man who can bring
40 votes from New York; CD he can
bring IA votes from New Jersey and
carry that State for the Republicans;
() he has demonstrated that he can
bring back the Progressives almost
solidly into. the Republican fold; (5)
an enormous German-American vote
of men who are loyal and enthusias-
tic Americans but who would oppose
some other candidates will be for
Brumbaugh.
Because of the great crisis which
We are facing the next Republican
convention will not nominate the fav-
orite of any faction. The most avail
able man must win. Is not this Mar
tin G.. Brumbaugh ?"

Miss Pickford.
And what do you intend TO do
when you grow up?"
MY ultimate ambition" responded
Miss Pickford patting the white fur
on her black velvet coat, lis to re-
turn to the speaking stage and play
some great big role suitable to my
ability and to play it until | am tired
of it and then bid farewell to public
life. No. | will never play Juliet.

only actress in captivity who has no
such ambition. Juliet as Shakespeare

tent | have not grown up
Like Peter PAM" asked the inter
viewer. "By the way, wouldn't you
like to play Peter Pan on the screen?"
Nothing that anybody could offer
me would induce me to play Peter
Pan. Maude Adams has made this
role a classic, and | would not feel
justified or competent to follow in her
lOOISIepS.
Miss Pickford stopped suddenly and
turned interviewer.
What do you like best about me?"
she asked.
THAT you are SO absolutely human
and natural" responded the mere man
who faced her.
'Oh, that is the finest compliment /
have ever had paid me-" gushed Miss
Pickford, and then a doubling look
came into her eyes. You must have
kissed the Blarney Stone, and l believe
that your real name is Murphy, for
only an Irishman could have paid me
such Il compliment. You know / am
for the greater part Irish, and | often
think that it is my Irish Imagination
that helps me to act as much as what
ever ability | may possess. And let
me tell you that acting before a cam
era requires much more courage than
acting on the speaking stage. The
nervous strain of photoplay acting is
severe beyond words. That awful
camera with it's mocking click: with
it's ruthless truthfulness; with it's un-
erring aptitude for taking every flaw
in your facial expression, every wrinkle
in your skin-Id rather face a thou
audiences in person than one cam
era. l don't mind spectators in the
Studio. / don't mind even a cranky
director, but it requires all my will
power and all my nervous force to
face the motion picture camera
