0 exception to this rule.

In the event of war with the en-
tente allies, Harrisburg and its manu-
featuring plants would be able on
short notice to supply the Federal
Government with huge quantities OF
ammunition of all kinds.
But information as to these quanti-
ties is not obtainable. A week ago,
perhaps, these plants would have fur
nished the figures. To-day 1t is dif-
ferent. Has word been received that
to permit the dissemination of this in
formation may result in activities on
the part of the dynamiters who, 1t is
believed, have been responsible for in
Vulnerable explosions in various parts
of the country?
Will Commander Allies Supplies
If war is declared the United States
Government will commander all mu-
milton supplies already prepared and
in course of manufacture for the al
lies. This means that huge quantities
of shells, she'll cases, shrapnel, deto-
mating caps and other munitions now
on hand in Harrisburg will go to the
federal Government 1t is said that
in at least one local plant to-day word
was received that no further ship
ments must be made until permission
is received from authorities at Wash
ington.
Plant Heads Reticent
Among the heads of the several
tion TO manufacture munitions not one
man could be found this morning who
would consent to say in just what
quantities these munitions could be
produced.
Il have nothing to say" was the re-
ply from all.
For Gods sake" said the manager
of one big plant. don't say that we
are in position to turn out war sup
plies.''
1t is known that the Harrisburg
Pipe Bending Company can make mil
lions of dollars worth of munitions in
a few months.
Quincy Bent, of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, would give no figures
on the possible capacity of Central
Pennsylvania plants able to make mu-
nitions.
"'It would depend, he said, upon
what is wanted. Further than that 1
have nothing to say"
Other plant heads were equally reti-
cent.
Bethlehem Largest Producer
There is no plant in eastern Penn
sylvania, outside of Philadelphia,
which could turn out such huge guam
titles of munitions as Bethlehem Steel.
And this company's total output, down
to the last bit of shrapnel, will doubt
less be commandeered by the United
States in the event of war. The same
thing is true of the Westinghouse and
other corporations in Pittsburgh, the
Cambria Steel Company in Johnstown,
the Remington and other factories in
the Philadelphia district. Pennsyl-
vania would rank as the nations chief
munition maker.

BORN or DESPERATION

Petrograd, via London, Feb. 2.-The
Russian newspapers consider Ger
many's blockade announcement a
measure born of desperation because
of falling food supplies and the failure
or Germany's peace measures. The
VOLTA says the submarine order is a
contradiction of the rules of inter-
national law, since the blockade will
be necessarily restricted to "the usual
pirate acts

luton was always exceedingly merry.
The Virglnians of those days, being
cavaliers, made the most Of the holt
day, which the grim Puritans of New
England practically ignored. says the
Philadelphia Press.
Though generally serious. Washing
ton could unbend considerably on such
an occasion. Mount Vernon was always
crowded at this period. and the cele-
bration was of a luxurious character.
The Christmas dinner was served at
three O'Clock in the banquet hall"
and probably no fewer than 30 per-
sons sat down TO the repast.
For this special occasion the hostess
always got out her handsome service Of
pure silver, most of which had belonged
to her when, as the widow Custls. she
had married Mr.. Washington. and there
was also a big display of cut glass.
An odditv, as nowadays 1t would be
considered, was the arrangement of the
table. upon which all the dishes 10 be
served. including even the buildings and
pies, were placed at once No wonder
that In such days the festive board
was said TO "groan" beneath the
weight of viands.
AS a matter of course. at the Christ
mas dinner, as well as all other occa-
sions, the table was waited upon by
slaves, who did duty as house servants.
Two were allotted to each guest, so
that quite number were required. All
of the eatables had to be conveyed a
considerable distance, the kitchen be-
ing detached from the mansion. with
which it was connected by a covered
way.
At the houses of the great Virginia
families at that period 1t was custom
airy for the slaves to wait on the table
In the ordinary plantation garb. But
at Mount Vernon many things were on
a scale of exceptional luxury. and the
negroes who performed such service
were clad in Washington's own livery
of red, white and gold, which was
handsome and striking.
The necessity Of supper was removed
by a great prolongation of the dinner,
at which each person was expected to
eat all that he or she possibly could.
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1917-12-22

In fact, II was the duty of the hostess
gently to persuade her guests To gorge
themselves TO repletion, while the host
made 1t his business TO press wine and
other drinkables upon the men to an
extent which in these times would be
considered most imprudent.
At a certain period of the meal It
was WaShington'S custom TO rise from
his chair, holding a glass of Madeira
In his hand and bowling right and left,
to say, Gentlemen. l drink TO my
guests" The natural response at the
instance Of the most distinguished
guest prese1t was health drink to
Lady Washington.
Following the dinner good long
evening was INDUCED in with pastimes
appropriate 10 Christmas. Blind mans
buff and hunt the slipper were not suf-
ficiently cndignified in the eyes OF
Washington To be INDUCED in. The
Washington family Christmas gifts
were exhibited, and Nellie Custis was
always called upon TO play on her harp
sichord.
A c0lored fiddler. one of the slaves
on the plantation, in picturesque plan
tation garb would be called in at a
certain period. and when he would
start some merry music the young peo-
pie cnOse partners for the dance. But
the c,dcr ladies and gentlemen pre-
ferred cards. Small stakes were uSu-
ally played for, but gambling for money
to considerable amount was always
most Objectionable to Washington. AS
for Mrs. Washington. she would inva-
riably enter into none of the general
festivities. but would be the host to
such part of her guests who would not
care to Indulge in either dancing or
cards.
II was ut late hour on the morning
following CAlTistfGEs that the guests
would take their departure and the
Washington household would quiet
down to ITS ordinary routine.

STORY TELLING AS AN ART
London Woman Revives Customs Of
Ancient Days When Tales Were
Told for Dramatic Interest.

Story telling as 1t was in ancient
days when history and knightly adven-
ture. touched with the supernatural,
were the inspiration of bafds and
minsirels, and when tales were told
chiefly for their dramatic interest, is
the art of Miss Marie L. Shediock of
London.
'-Stories should be teId TO children.
and grOwn-ups alike for tho dramatic
interest of them. Just as they were
told. 1000 years ago and are still told
on the street corners" says Miss She'd
lock. .tThe beauty and dramatic In
terest of the story Itself should be set
forth simply. not With. eloquence or
Imposing theatrics. Pointing obvious
morals to children Is of little avail In
teaching them. What impresscs them
most N telling them stories Of heroes
or figures they may admire and nilow.
Ing them to make the comparison be-
tween themselves and the characters
then will they really be taught the
best sort OF actions"

FORESMAN HOME
0kMAGED BY FIRE

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. C.
r. Foresman at 1J3 South Eighth
street was badly damaged by fire at
9:30 this morning. entaiIing a loss of
several hundred dollars.
The fire caught in the garret from a
defective kitchen fiue and had probably
been burning for a considerable length
of time before its discovery.
The fire department was summoned
and made good run to the scene of
the trouble. II was necessary 10 fight
the flames thru the roof. which was
burning iercely when the department
arrived. In a comparatively short
time after the water was turned on
the fire was under control.
The damage TO the property was
about evenly divided between fire and
water. 1t is understood that both the
building and its contents were insured.
