BIBLE SUNDAY GLASSES
 AFTER Y. M. c, A, SUPPER


 Although the Halloween spirit af- fected the attendance at the boys Bi- ble study groups at the Y. M. C.. A. Friday night, twenty were present. Following the bean supper which was prepared and served under the direc- tion of Miss Ethel Morgan and Miss Ruby Vaughn. The Plus Ultra and Gideon Juniors met together and the Y. M. Juniors took up the first lesson in the course, What Manner of Man Is This?
 The Academy first year group took up a study of St. Augustine and the following points were brought out in the study: The mother of Augustine was a Christian woman, but his father was not interested in the Christian life; the one thing he was anxious for his son to do was to get a good education that he might earn plenty of money The boy was sent away to school, and readily forged his way to the head oi his class and became a natural lead CT. The temptations of student fife were too much for the young man and gradually he yielded to the lower passions of his life and became prac- tically prodigal with a number of the other students. His mother upon hearing of her sons downfall was broken in heart and cried and prayed for his salvation.
 Finally in a spirit of remorse the young Augustine threw himself on the ground to pray; he arose and picked up the Epistle of Paul to the Romans and read. the 18th verse of the 13tf chapter and the passage so impressed him that he turned right about fact and became finally a devoted Chris tian man; in due time was ordained a priest and after a while became { bishop of great usefulness.
 1 Though he ever after lived strong 1 Christian life, yet the thought of th' sins of his young manhood troubled him, and before he died he wrote hi noted book. Confessions, which ha been an inspiration to thousands.

HALLOWEEN SOC|ALS AND DANCES

Jupiter P1uvius did his level best
 early Friday evening to drive the
 throngs of Halloween masqueraders
 indoors. After he had opened the
 gates of hiS4 cloud reservoirs and let down a near torrent of rain which
 lasted over a half hour he discovered that the young masqueraders refused to be driven indoors so he gave up his evil designs in disg1lst.> closed up the rain gates and rolled away the clouds for few brief moments. But Jupiter Pluvius, as everyone knows. is very
 changeable. He seems to take a spe- cial delight in interfering with the
 outdoor plans of the rising generation.
 And 50 in keeping with his reputation.
 he changed his mind, rolled his gloomy clouds back again, and for the rest or
 the evening he sifted a disagreeable periodic drizzle down over the gaudy Halloween costumes and gaily paint ! ed faces of Young America on the streets of Norwich.
 A very attrac ctive young lady said a | few evenings ago that she does things only when the spirit moves her. Ii l this be the case with the rest of the i gentler sex the spirits were unusually | busy moving" on Halloween night | In fact they changed scores and scores
  soldiers, witches, ghosts and spooks l of all sizes and shapes. Franklin l square, Main street and Broadway were literally thronged with all sorts l of goblins and imps. Some were round
 and fat like Humpty Dumpty and oth- 1 CTS were long and lean.
 l One young woman created consld- erable excitement in the main section | of the city when she came prancins along calmly smoking a cigarette i Shocking, said young man with mo- ble ideals as he encountered the vamr on Main street. He was on the point | of giving the young lady lecture on l such irnmodest conduct when to his
 surprise he discovered that the vamr was but a mere boy out for 8 Hal i lowe'en frolic.
 l A local young woman. married al l that, became a center of attraction l when she made her appearance in a | suit of knickerbockers and a rakish 1 cap.
 All over the city weird faces looked 1 through peoples windows at the most unexpected moments soaring severa local spinsters most out of their wits i according to report, while ghosts an6 spooks howled dismally in dark alleys ] and yards throughout the greater par i of the night.
 Supper and Entertainment.
 About 150 attended the get together supper and Halloween entertainment
 held under the auspices of the Parisl | House association of Park Congrega tional church at Hugh Henry Osgoot Memorial Friday evening. The menV

According to story from Beth
fehem, fight promoters in Allentown
are playing a funny game. This has
been the belief in Harrisburg for
some time. Reports that these Allen
town managers had Joined hands,
and that one of them had secured
Johnny Gill did not score a big hit
with local fight fans. Here is what
Fred Nonnemacher has to say about
the Allentown promoters, in the
Bethlehem Globe:
"Boxing Promoters at Odds
"The old battle between boxing
promoters in Allentown is again be-
ing waged and at present has reached
a fever heat stage. The Sportsmen's
Club were first to announce n big
bill for election night and a few days
later along came the rival organiza-
tion, the Lyric A. A, advertising a
card of thirty rounds with all local
favorites. While it did neither club
any good financially to run opposi-
ton, one had to suffer and from re-
ports the Lyric played TO a small
crowd although they staged q lively
show. The Sportsmen, due to an
accident to one of the principals
disappointed its crowd of one thou
sand or more patrons and dug deep
by giving the fans a free show of
three bouts with the promise to
honor the tickets when the show
advertised is staged next week. Re-
ports from the Lyric Arena are that
persons prejudiced to the club were
not satisfied with pasting small pos
ters on which was inscribed I'm

known" over the names of the bat
tiers carded but went one better by
securely fastening the door to the
arena so that it was opened with
great difficulty and in addition tam
pered with the electric lighting, in
an effort apparently to hold up the
show. Such tactics are certain to
bring success to neither organization.
We would suggest that shows be run
on alternate nights and then let the
club producing the best cards sur
vive."
More Allegations
In addition to the above several
letters received in Harrisburg re-
Gently, tell some interesting facts
about an alleged automobile accident
outside of Reading which resulted in
the calling off of a show at Steel
ton; n statement alleging that the
kid" Thomas cancellation was
known at 4 o'clock in the afternoon;
and an allegation that outsiders
were tampering with Manager Joe
Barrett's bookings on the day his
shows were staged. The latter was
announced by Barrett at a recent
show.
In the opinion of sport writers in
the East, these and other alleged
irregularities is further argument in
favor of a State Boxing Commission.
A general opinion prevails that fight
fans will not get just treatment un-
til ring battles are governed by
State body, backed by law punish
ing violators of contracts, and elm
mating ringers"

East Falls Cage Five to
Play Local Independents

With the advantage of n week. s
more practice, the Independents are
expected to give q better account OF
themselves tomorrow night with
East Falls Dobson team than they
did against the st. Elizabeth squad
last Saturday. One more workout.
to be conducted this evening, will
complete the weeks activities in
preparation for the fray. The prac-
tice this evening will be conducted
in the Chestnut Street Auditorium,
starting at $40 o'clock.
The Dobson team, of East Falls,
which is to be the attraction to-
morrow night, is composed of some
of the best players in Pennsylvania.
Lees and Homewood will in all prob
ability play in the forward positions
with Moorehead at center. Moore
head played with the st. Elizabeth
squad here last week.
The two guards of the visitors will
be selected from among Boswell,
West and McWilliams. Ally McWil-
liams, a member of the champion
Greystock five of a few years ago,
is virtually certain to be in one OF
the guard positions.
The definite lineup of the Inde-
pendents has not been fully decided
upon. 1t will be selected from among
McCord, Wallower, Kline, Haggerty
Gerdes and Ford. McCord has an
nounced his intention of being on
the job tomorrow night and he
has officiated as coach of the squad
during the practices of the week.
Wallower's ankle has improved to
such an extent that no trouble is eX-
pected from it, and he should be able
to figure in the full game. Gerdes
and Ford will fill in the guard posi-
tions, with Kline as extra man in the
event any of the regular squad is not
able to get into the contest.
The game will begin at SIS o'clock
as in last weeks contest, and this
time of starting will De maintained
