RECREATION ONE Of
L|FE'S SERIOUS THINGS
Prof. Lichtenberger Lectures on
Relation Between Play
and Morality.

Professor ]. r. Lichtenberger, of tho
University Of Pennsylvania, in his lectures
in the duBarry room OF the Hotel du Pont
yesterday afternoon before the Whining
ton Ethical Society, declared that tho
significance OF the relation between play
and morality is little realized He said
that most of us thought recreation and
amusement belong to light diversions not
seriously connected with our moral con-
duct and that aGults taking diversion
from their work are looked upon as
frivolous.
The speaker said that play is one of
the really serious things of life-that it is
naturally normal The young Of all
animals play the games which, under the
law of the survival of the fittest, best
adapt them for the problems which con-
front them in future life.
This play problem requires a higher
development OF nervous capacity IN
human beings" said Professor Lichten-
berger. PLAY is the spontaneous ac-
tivity that accomplishes the co-ordina-
tion of moral and physical being. Children
have two universal characteristics-des
to use tools and engage In competition.
Ball games, tennis and the like are natural
10 develop the mental and physical
structure.
He said that the problem of play for
adults is of the greatest importance;
that the old notion Of recreation for adults
lacks seriousness and the older concepts
of play are that it is unworthy of men
and women. All complex physical and
mental functions of adults must be kept
normal in order that they may be normal
In our highly diversified activities, some
men use their muscles alone, Others use
certain nerve centers, without any co-ordi-
nation with the Others.

cluded that "iinx' was on her trail So
she told Judge Daniel o. Hastings in City
Court. today, that she intended 10 leave
the city for good.
Her departure viii depend largely upon
her ability to raise a fine of S25. The
court also imposed jail sentence of ten
days. but suspended this with the under
standing that il must be served If she
caused any trouble in the future.
Mrs. Annie Fisher happened 10 go to
her front door, at Front and West streets,
last night just as her rival came along on
Mr.. Fishers Srm. Mrs. Fisher had caught
the couple together on the street several
times, she testified, and invariably the fur
flew, fgira lively speaking. Last night,
Mrs. Fisher again lost her mental poise
and sailed into her rival Her husband
discreetiv stepped out Of the way.
Mrs Smith pluckily stood her ground
and met the onslaught with a well-aimed
blow which sent Mrs. Fisher against the
fence and brought blood from her nose.
Mrs. Fisher tbereupon took the full count,
standing Mrs. Fisher had her rival ar
rested, EIfaEgfu WIFI 2ssautt anu DdiIpIF.
The latter. a small woman OF sharp fea-
tures and ready wit, even in the trying
situation In crowded courtroom this
morning, asked her accuser if she had not
started the war by hurting a bottle at
her This was denied by Mrs. Fisher.
Didn't you pull my hat Of? the ac-
cused then wanted 10 know
This was also denied Mrs Fisher had
all the advantage of height and reach
and spectators wondered why she had
not been able to stand off her much
smaller antagonist. The prisoner adj
mitted she had husband Somewhere in
Philadelphia Furthermore, that she
had been caught in company with Fisher
several times by Mrs Fisher. Last night,
she testified, she met the man on the
street and he asked her to accompany him
TO his mothers house.

there sixteen months" said Mrs Smith,
land it got around here that was dead"
According to several witnesses to the
lively proceedings, last night, there were
no visible signs of physical decay in Mrs
Smiths right arm These witnesses all
placed the blame upon the accused.
"Will you leave this woman's husband
alone?" queried the court.
II don't want him." was the woman's
curt reply.

Knowles, Of StaIeybridge, England. and
Guy Splser, of Baltimore, we're married
here yesterday afternoon at the home Of
Mrs. William Battersby. a friend of the
Knowles family in England. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Henry
Arnold pastor Of the Bogle Street Christ
ian Church, few hours after the marriage
license had been received by Guy at the
home Of Assistant City Clerk
The wedding was simple, those in at
tendance being oniy Mr.. and Mrs. William
Battersby, Mrs. Sarah Battersby and
Charles Whitehead. the witnesses: ;
months-oid Alfred Ray. Mrs Charles
Whitehead, and a few reporters. The
single ring service was used.
Previous 20 the ceremony Spiker and

then entered the parIor accompanied BY
the witnesses. Ms. Whitehead held the
baby. Miss Knowles wore a dress Of
navy blue serge and Guy was dressed in
a brown-colored business suit. During

hand, was gTinnlng.
4 telegram received by Miss Knowles
early In the day from Mrs. Cora Spiker.

AUTO SHOW ENDED
WITH JAzzY DANCE
Visitors and Exhibitors Filled the
Floor Of du Barry Room Until
Midnight, Saturday.

The curtain went down on tho 1926
automobile show late Saturday night
with record attenance for the day, and
dance that will long be remembered BY
the participants, who crowded the flopr
of the duBarry room for two hours. Al
the latest models from the workshops ol
Terpschore and Company in the way
of plain and jazxy dances were demon
strated.
There was a sprinkling Of evening
clothes among the costumes Of the men,
and the maidens and matrons were oi
course resplendent. Altogether it was
a highly brilliant ending to an epochal
week for the automobile interests here,
which will set a record for some time to
come.
The members Of the various show COM
mittees. who have been on the job day
and night during the run of the show did
their best TO rest up over Sunday, leading
the task Of getting the exhibits out of the
ball room to their sales forces This was
done yesterday morning, the removal
being carried out promptly and the room
cleared shortly afternoon.
The accessories exhibitors had made
their get away late Saturday night
after the dancing began. so that the
palm room had taken on its normal ap,
pearancc, with the exception of one or
two exhibits which were disposed of
later, when Sunday morning dawned.
That the show was a success is beyond
question. Just how the affair figures out
financially will not develop until the
reports are all in and balance struck off
1t is known, however, that an average of
nearly 500 paid admissions WAS registered
for each of the six days and evenings, and
although the expenses were by no means
light, this source of revenue will make an
agreeable showing toward footing the
bills.
A banquet is proposed for an early
date, at which the feeling of fellowship
between the members of the auto trade ih
this city, which the show has gone far to
deepen, will be further cemented by the
to talk it over then afforded.
Too much credit cannot be given TO
President w. A. Macdonald, of the Auto
mobile Trade Association. and Messrs
Norman, White Ford, Ulrich and Bixby
in particular, for their paintaking and
capable management of the show as
whole and in detail. And the cooperation
of Manager Ernests Taite, of the Hotel
du Pont, To aid in the success of the affair
rs also to be recognized.

MAY SELECT ANOTHER NAME.
Already Palace Theater in City Ahead
of New Enterprise.

Another name than Palace may be Sc
lected for the new theatre to be erected
at $40 Market street by the Topkis-Ginns
Theatre Company, as the result Of situa-
tion which has arisen since the company's
places were formulated
II seems that there is already theatre
OF the name of Palace on Maryland avenue.
Il is conducted by the Palace Amusement
Company. This concern, hearing of the
plans for the new Market street amuse-
rnent place. protested against the use of
the name Palace. A representative of the
Topkis-Ginns Company stated today
that he did not know Of any theatre or
that name in the city, but that there will
be no trouble over It. IL there is such
a theatre already, of course, something
will be done" said he. The matter will
be called to the attention Of Mr. Topkis
at once. The same party intimated,
however. that the name palace Amuse-
ment Company" need not conflict seriously
with palace Theatre"
