lican and of the Scranton Truth. Later
he Joined the editorial staff OF tho Pub

While In Scranton Dr. Odell was
member OF the. Board OF Education and
took an active part In civic work. Ho
served on the Pancoast Mine Disaster
Commlite and was thus brought In
touch with labor conditions and wei
fore among miners.
While In Scranton, also, Dr. Odell
was chaplain Of the i3th Regiment Ma
tlonal Guard OF Pennsylvania, which po-
sltlon ho held for ton years. The ia
mlliarity thus gained with military ar
fairs made him q widely read contrlbu-
tor TO the outlook after the United
states entered the war. Dr. Odell made
tour Of the American cantOnments TO
study the social problems involved In
the mobilization OF millions Of our
young men.
The results Of this study have given
his readers and hearers clear under
standing OF what army life means TO the
themselves and TO the country
at large. Ills book, "The New Spirit for
the New Army" for which Secretary OF
War Baker wrote an introduction, was
published this year.
Or. Odell Is a contributor 10 the At
lantlc Monthly. the outlook, and other
American magazines. and also 10 British
His articles in the latter
publication deal chiefly with interpre-
lations OF American public life.
DR.. Odell's most recent public work
was as a correspondent for the Outlook
on the battlefront IN Europe. He went
abroad last summer 90 study the prob
Iems involved IN the Y. NJ. C. A. and
other war welfare work, following our
troops in the lighting between the
Marne and the Vesle rivers. His arti-
,les were yivldly descriptive and were
1lled with a deep appreciation OF the
human problems presented by the men
II the front. He returned In time TO take
part In the campaign for the War Fund
which has just closed.
DR.. 0dell's introduction 20 the Della
ware public was given under most
circumstances during the
Red Cross campaign last June. AZ that
line he was the principal speaker at
he opening banquet and his address
vas among the strongest and most help
ul which have been delivered before a I
Delaware audience.
He appeared here a few weeks ago at
he dinner and meeting in the Play
house held In preparation for the War
Fund Campaign. and he again i'm
pressed his very strong personality on

CITY Streets NOT
UNUSUALLY DIRTY
Col. Sparks, Street Depart
ment President, Again
Defends the Bureau
TO CHANGE TERM
Of GARBAGE CONTRACT

Leaving their homes to attend the
weekly session OF City Council lss'
night, despite the fact that II was q
holiday. members OF City Council were
compelled to sit huddled in their over
coats, there being little II any heat in
the Council room. II was remarked that
the room could be rented for cold stOr-
age purposes
Mr.. Robertson gave notice OF a pro
posed ordinance, repeating the present
city ordinance. which awards the gar
bage collection contract on a one-year
basis.
In speaking on the subject last night
Mr.. Robertson said that Council had
amended the old ordinance after City
Solicitor Bayard had stated they could
do so, but that since then other attor-
neys had cOntended that the new act
was Illegal. He explained that by the
present Board Of Health awarding the
contract on a one-year basis the city
had been compelled 10 pay 100000,
which was $4,000 more than the city
would have 10 pay had Il entered into
the three-year contract.
In case the ordinance is repealed Il
will not affect the present garbage con-
tract. which will expire next May.
Although numerous complaints have
been made regarding the lack OF gar
bage collections, both Mayor Lawson
and President Sparks Of the Street and
Sewer Department appeared at a meet
f.,c. 80 tho G,tvrouf Exrantc C1aec af tho
New Century Club on Tuesday and
offered a defense on behalf
OF the Haley Company.
While Mayor Lawson did not attempt
20 explain the reason for the alleged
neglected collections, he complained OF
citizens tossing refuse into the streets,
instead OF into receptacles, thus en-
hancing the work of the garbage col
lectors, who, Mayor Lawson said,
even climb fences and face savage
dogs" In making collections.
After Mayor Lawson told how clti-
zens throw their garbage in the streets.
Mr.. Sparks explained why the streets
are not kept clean by his department.
This neglect he attributed TO insult

mo REASON FOR
SOCIALISM HERE
DR.. Patton Says Near-An-
archy Has No Place in
Democracy
FOR ENGLAND, FRANCE,
AMERICAN ALLIANCE

A Thanksgiving audience heard Or.
Francis l.. Patton, former president OF
Princeton University. lecture at West
minister Presbyterian Church last night,
on the topic, The War and De-
mocracy." The lecturer warned against
| the spread OF socialistic ideas IN this
country by immigrants who have come
I from European autOcracies. He thought
Socialism had some excuse In q country
where the poor and humble were op-
pressed by the rich and powerful. and
hatred Of capital and the ruling power
was natural In such an autOcracy.
In a democracy Hike America. there
was no reason for a Sociallstic form OF
government, he said. One OF the Ameri-
can weaknesses remedied by the war,
he asserted was the tendency to
wrangle over questions OF minor i'm
portance.
The war. he said, grew into a duel
between autocracy and' democracy. At
the Offset that was not the motive, but
the rancor grew when Prusslsnism dis
played her hand 10 also resulted IN
the awakening Of Poland and Bohemia
10 the realization that freedom lay at
their gates after many years.
Or. Patton, in naming the three great
demOcracles as being England. France
and the United States, said what a
splendid thing II would be II theer was
an alliance between the three nations
which had so many similarities and the
same besettlng dangers. He was lavish
in his praise OF King George ", saying
that among other English kings he had
few equals and no superiors.
Three kinds OF men will come back
from the 'front.' said DR.. Patton in his
lecture on Wednesday night. on the
theme, "The War and the Church"
