unique procession of the war period The

lot of sailors from the Navy Yard. we're out
to Ge: money for 10000 Christmas bags for
sailors, And they made good, too
Coins of all denominations aimed from
the skies as girls and young women, dressed
In white or blue nurses costumes. dashed
hither and thther about the street inter-
mingled with bluejaCkets from the Navy
Yard, gathering the rolling money into ere
tonne bags, and keeping in touch with the
creeping line of twenty-thrCe gaily bedecked
automobiles
More than $1,000 had been collected in
nickels, dimes and quarters, and even the
penny had its place by noon The parade
started at Twenty-thrd street and passed
along Chestnut street to Broad. where it
turned north and gradually worked its way
to Spring Garden street thence counter
marching on Broad street to South street
where the turn was made to Franklin Field.
Each automobile was filled with young
ladies in Red Cross attire. and the running
boards were occupied by bluejackets from
the Navy Yard. Red Cross banners and
the American flag were profuse as decora-
tions, and buglers frequently sent out their
ChrlOn calls along the route.
Every one, including the sailors. had bags
Of some sort with which to collect contribu-
tiOns. AS the machines very slowly moved
along the nurses and jaclties scattered on
both sides Of the line, holding out their
bags and asking for anything" from the
people who crowded the sidewalks
1t was necessary for the automobiles TO
stop for considerable length of time at
each street crossing i'm the vicinity Of City
Hall and from there down Broad street,
where the high office buildings sheltered
thousands IT persons who were anxious to
contribute. Traffic was held up to the dis
traction Of the traffic policemen, but no one
cared about that.
The rosy-cheeked ladies and the tanned
jackieS were concerned in a much more
serious business than commercial trans
portation just then and the crowds that
thickened just at luncheon time when the
cavalcade reached Chestnut and Broad
streets were bountiful in their appreciation.
This vantage point was also shared by one
Of the hve young women artists from Mary
land Tennessee, Colorado, New Jersey and
Virginia who were working on large

Literature and morality locked horns to-

either side taking the count.

Corporation. which desires to produce on
Monday a film. entitled Camille" based on
the famous novel. La Dame Aux Camel

The ard Of Censors objects TO certain
subtites used in the film. The producers
appealed from this decision.
Nothing in the pictures themselves is oh

General Joseph l.. Kun assured the court.
Its objection is to the subtites proposed.

ised to Love. Honor and Obey
This substitute worries the producers.
They pointed out in court that to use it
would spoil the whole plot of the story. The
censors retorted that such a plot was the
least of their troubles. What they were
thinking about they said was the morals

PROGRAM ENDS TONIGHT

More than 5000 alumni and otheNs were
in attendance upon Founders Day exercises
at Swarthmore College today. where IDEAL
weather conditions lent an added charm 10
a most interesting program.
The academic procession Of 500 students
and professors headed by President Swayne,
of Swarthmore, and President William w.
Comfort, of Haverford. formed at Parrish
Hall at 1:15 o'clock and marched to the
great outdoor stadium on the west campus
where the exercises took place. The meet
ing opened by the venerable Isaac II.
Clothier eighty ye.Es old. president emeri-
tus of the board Of managers who also
ofiiclated in the planting of memorial
oak tree to commemorate his long active
connection with the college.
Robert NJ. Janney president OF the board
of managers, acted as chairman OF the
meeting and introduced the principal speak
er. President Comfort of Haverford Col
lege, who made the main address, the SUB
ject Of which was "An Appeal to Ancestry.
Mr. Comfort said in part:
I'VE all have ancestors. That Is an un-
denable asset of every person. Now the
question is what to do with them. Too
much do we think of the present and the
future. All of us, until reach the age
of forty or fifty, live hopelessly in the
future. There are many things in the pres
ent which the past alone can explain. Make
such use of the past and its experiences that
it will be 4 bulwark for us In our hght
against sin and temptation. Loyalty to the
spirit of the past and loyalty to the achieve
ments and examples of our ancestors VIII
help make n better future.
81 am not thinking Of ancestor worship
as practiced in China and Japan. Such
ancestry in a gathering like this would not
stand the microscope of the social climber,
but too often are we complacently satis-
fed when we realize that our forefathers
came over in the Welcome or fought in the
battle of Bunker Hill. We are all, / think,
conscious of the unbroken continuity of
history eliminating In ourselves 1t is up
to us to take advantage of this fact Even
in our national and college songs loyalty TO
our ancestors is expressed to make us bet
ed by an appeal to an honorable father or
a sainted mother.
Therefore, let us be loyal to the spirit
of the past, and we will have strength to
do our duty II we can appeal to our an
Cestors for support"
This evening there will be a program
consisting Of three one-act plays produced
under the supervision of Elizabeth B. OIL
yer. instructor in the department of public
speaking
The chief play will be Tents of the
Arabs" which will be acted by George
Hayes. David Driscol. Harold Stubbs, Jo-
seph Sickler, Frank Fetter and Dorothy
Young. The other two plays will be
"Helen's Husband" and "Modesty." The
cast of the first will be composed Of Helen
Atkins, Ruth Kistler. Opal Robinson, Kath-
crime Price and Katherine Fahnestock The
second will be acted by Janet Malcolm

bombarded the door with their fists. the

Several women thought the house was on
fire. With Mr.. Karstaedt they rushed TO
the jpor. Before opening the latter asked
who was there.
