received beautiful handmade gifts
from the hostess.
A business meeting was held after
the party, at which officers were
elected for the ensuing year. The

Insurance Board
Must Give Consent

Officials of the state Insurance
Fund Board said to-day that if Miles
NJ. Dawson, the new York actuarial
expert, detailed by Auditor Gen
eral Charles a. Snyder to make
an audit of the books of the fund,
want to start work he will have to
get the permission of the board in
charge of the fund first. The chairman
or the board is Harmon M. Kephart,
the state Treasurer, who is i'll at his
motel here. The board may not meet
until January.
Mr.. Dawson came here last night
and inquired at the offices of the
fund when he could begin. He was
referred to the board. The Auditor
Generals Department declares that
Dawson made no effort to secure the
books, but just came to look over the
field. The fund officers say that he
wanted to start in. Auditor General
snyder says that when the time comes
tpe audit Will be made.
Ihe fund officers have asked AttOr-
ney General Brown for an opinion as
to the powers of the Auditor General
70 refuse to pay clerks unless he is
shown that they are necessary, and
the advice Informally given by the
chlef law officer rather indicates that
II Mr.. snyder persists in his attitude
there Will be- q fight. Some of the
people at the Capitol have started to
say that any attack on the fund is a
blow at the compensation system, and
therefore at labor. Mr.. Snyder saws
that is nonsense, as all he wants to
secure is economy.

CLOSING PROGRAM
AT KINDERGARTEN
Little Children Taught by Miss
Rutherford and Miss Dean
Give a Christmas Party

The children of the free kinder
garten at Cameron and Herr streets,
held their closing exercises prior to
the closing for the Christmas holi-
days yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.

A brief program including a march,

fathers present.
At the close of the program the
huge Christmas tree was dismantled
of its trimmings, which were gift
calendars and little booklets that
the children made themselves for
their fathers and mothers, and given
to the children. The gifts for the
children themselves, which were
given by the students of the Seller
school, were doll highchairs for the
girls and q soldier game for the boys.
Miss Rutherford and Miss Dean
are accomplishing fine work among
these children in both a mental and
physical way. The children are also
taught that "it is more blessed to
give than to receive" as evinced in
the money they have given to various
urgent causes during the year. From
the pennies that these children have
given, $500 has been contributed to
the Y. M. c. A. work for the soldiers;
