And that Is going some, isn't It? Mr.
Joseph Hin was thirty-nine years old yes
terday and his friends desired to celebrate
the event. They decided further to do It in
sections as il were The FIRST party en-
gagged n caterer, and when Mr.. Hill returned
to his home at 371S North Broad street,
after a walk yesterday afternoon, he found
himself surrounded by a large number Of
friends, who escorted him to the dining
room, and further surrounded a most splen-
diferous feast which had been spread there
Mr.. Hin was more than gratifed, and
joined his guests in doing fun justice to the
banquet It was a wonderful success, and
many toasts were given and answered. But
a banquet only did not satisfy these guests.
Nothing would do but the whole party must
motor out to Willow Grove and listen to the
music under the leafy trees
Here was where the second party had a
chance TO make good. No sooner had the
motors left than they took possession Of the
house and staged the second surprise party.
Imagine Mr.. Hil's feelings on returning to
find good old-fashoned watermelon feast
awaiting him. and his first guests. for there
had been much conniviug on the part Of the
two parties. There were twenty guests al
together and before separating after the
second party they presented him with
very handsome gold watch
Mr.. Hill, you know is the proprietor OF
the Royal Boot shop and is on the house
committee Of the Benevolent order Of EllSs
He is also president Of the Boosters Club
of Philadelphia and member of the Royal
order Of Moose. Altogether, Mr., Hill will
have reason TO remember the birthday he
had before his fortieth year was inau-
gurated.

LBERTYLOAN EXPERTS
TO SELL NEW WAR LOAN
Federal Reserve Bank Will Keep
Philadelphia Committee In
tact for Future Issues

The Federal Reserve Bank OF Philadel-
phia, acting upon the advice OF Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, today made knawn
the fact that all members OF the local com
mittees throughout the third Federal re-
serve district together with the central and
general Libery Loan committees, are getting
ready TO sell further Government war loans.
The executive manager, the chairman and
the vice chairman of the Philadelphia gem
eral committee have formed into an espe-
cially appointed body to collect data, ana
lyze the result of the last campaign in this
district. to consult with representatives
from Washington and other Federal reserve
districts, and to make preparations and
suggestions for future loans.
Philadelphia's contribution to the Liberty
Loan was about $231000,000, with about
100000 persons buying bonds.
This was the revised estimate made today
for the district. The report of the Federal
Reserve Bank Of this city which Is in the
hands OF the Secretary Of Treasury today,
notified the Government that Phadelphia's
would total $229,5OO,0OO. 1t
was the first report to reach the capital.
The report included only subscriptions
received by noon Friday, when the cam
paign ended. However. according to Frank
NJ. Hardt. cashier Of the Federal Reserve
Bank, late subscriptions would boost the
figures to about $231,000,00O. The Phila-
ielphia districts minimum quota was S140,-
200, 900 the maximum. S175,0O0,0O
Because Of the oversubscripton. il is
likely that the amounts OF the larger con-
will be pruned, it was announced.
The diminishing process will not affect
Of 100000 and less 1t was
said but will apply only to orders for
) 900 600 worth and over.

TNHE method of selecting the reg
Il istered men for service, so far
as Philadelphia is concerned, is a
matter of conjecture. Mayor Smith
said this afternoon he did not know
how the names would be selected.
It is believed that the fifty-one con-
scription boards will do the actual
work of selection under the
supervision of military officials
from Washington. 1t is highly prob
able, however, that the Government
will instruct the agents of the De-
partment of Justice to make an in
vestigation as to the fitness of these
boards for such serious work.
