Farewell Party Given
For Miss Hulda Bryan

The girls of Mrs. Stuart's Sun
day school class gave a surprise
party to Miss Hulda Bryan the
night Of the 10th. A very enjoy
able evening was spent with games
and fun followed by a lap supper.
Miss Bryan was remembered by
a gift of manicure set. A
courtesy like this is deeply ap-
preciated by one just about to
leave the homeland for a foreign
country, and in Persia the mem
ory of Kadoka will alleviate much
of an otherwise loneliness.

'"Dry' Agent Also Declares
Moonshiners Will Increase
Under New Liquor Order
HIGH PRICES MAY RISE

There are 5000 Illicit liquor stills
in Philadelphia turning out moon
shine with an ostrich kick, according
to prohibition agents here who belicr,
the number will increase now that
wholesale dealers have been cut of
from warehouse stocks.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
yesterday issued orders TO all bonded
warehouses that no intoxicants may
be withdrawn by wholesalers and none
except for medicinal and manufactur-
ing purposes.
Five warehouses in this city are af-
fected by kramer's order. They arc
at Front street and Girard avenue
Water and TasKer streets, Water street
and Snyder avenue, Front and Queen
strets and Fifth and South streets.
J. Clayton, agent of the loca
''sniffing squad" made the estimate
that 10000 stills Of all sizes are in
size to the big cylinders capable of pro
ducing gallons Of liquor, he said.
One immediate effect of the new or
der, prohibition enforcement agents
say, will be big leap in the price OF
whisky, because many "bootlcggers'
will hold on to present stocks.
Enforcement officials estimate that
in six months all bonded liquors out OF
the warehouses will have trickled down
the throats of consumers.
At each bonded warehouse in this
city two agents were detailed. These
men are to be recalled and probably
will be assigned to squads engaged in
hunting down makers of liquor.

COLONIAL DANES
TO CENSOR PLAYS.
First Definite Step in Movement
for Raising the Social Stand
ard Of Philadelphia
TO REPORT VULGAR SHOWS

The Colonial Danes have organized
a number of their members into q
committee to censor plays. The com
mittee was formed yesterday afternoon
ut meeting held in the old DR.. Casper
Wistar house. 400 Locust street. Mrs.
James Francis Sullivan was appointed
chairman.
This step is the first definite one TO
be taken in the raising the social =
standard Of Philadelphia movement set
spiritedly on foot ten days ago at a
meeting Of the Colonial Danes held in
conjunction with other patriotic and
civic women's societies.
At this meeting vulgarity in plays,
dress, dancing and general department
was held up for frank and remedial in =
spection. George W. Norris, governor
Of the Federal Reserve Bank, suggested
that committee Uf women to act as
unofficial censors for plays could work
for the benefit Of especially the young
people of the community. Such a COM
mittee, Mr.. Norris advised could report
undesirable shows to the civic auth
critics and would no doubt be received
with welcome.
It is along these lines that the com
mittee appointed at yesterdays meeting
will act. Members will endeavor to see
many of the plays in New York before
they ever come to Philadelphia, but
when that is impossible no time will
be lost in attending opening nights at
Philadelphia play houses.
Among others who are asked to serve
on the committee on plays are Miss
Sarah Penrose and Mrs. r. C. Drayton.
A similar committee to act in censor =
ship on movies is in the course Of form
alton. Yesterdays meeting was calling
together Of the members Of the social
reform committee recently formed. Mrs.
George w. Norris. who is chairman,
presided. Mrs. James Large, who is
president of the Colonial Danes, at
tended the meeting.

LEADER IS CHILLED
BY COLL|NGSWOOD
Only Twelve Persons at Mr.,
Trusens' Civic Meeting, but
Refreshments Vanish
HE TAKES A BETTER VIEW

Even the lure Of mountainous heaps
of food and bottles Of pop" innu-
merable failed to interest the citizens Of
Collingswood, n. j., last night in civic
betterment.
At s o'clock the advertised starting
time for the meeting, one man sat as
an audience: at 8 80 the assembly had
been doubled: by 8 80 the sea of faces
which the chairman looked down upon
totaled twelve: and at 800 there was
rustling as the gathering. donned hats
and overcoats Gnd poured from the Col
lingswood frehouse.
This, in brief, is the tragic story Of
the meeting called by T. II. Trusens, a
public spirited townsman, ut consider
able outlay of money and after ten days
of preparation.
But despite the corporal's guard pres
cnt, Mr.. Trusens, as temporary chair
man, called his meeting to order and
turned his attention to the serious busi-
ness Of the evening, which was the nom e
ination Of n school director.
Things Move Slowly
Things moved very slowly for the
next three quarters of an hour. What
happened thereafter is described as fol

cream and cakes, chocolates, Sandwiches

that everybody present might enjoy

Fortunately the bread and cakes, ham
and cigars were never delivered, due tc
the fact that those merchants that were
