TAX LEAGUE MEETS

[COHiiHHcd from Fira Page1
Court, was one of the leaders of the
American Bar
In addition to serving as profess
sOr of law at the University of Penn
sylvania and engaging in ,arge
private practice, Justice Roberts
was a special deputy Attorney Cen
eral of the United States Govern
ment to prosecute espionage cases
during the World War, and was also
appointed special counsel by Presi-
dent Coolidge in. 1924 to prosecute
the "oil cases." During his thirty
years of law practice in Philadel-
phia, he was a constant participant
in wide variety of civic activities,
which particularly qualify him to
speak on the subject announced.
The Leagues dinner, which will
he one of the outstanding civic af-
fairs of the year, is in charge of a
committee consisting of H. Fletcher
Brown, chairman, w. S. Carpenter,
Jr., Louis A. Drexler, Lammot du
Pont, Pierre S. du Pont, H. 7. Gra-
ham, J. Warren Marshall Henry
Ridgely, Frank G. Tallman and
Charles Warner. Mr. Warner, pres
ident of the League, will preside at
the dinner.
In honor of Justice Roberts, the
members of the State judiciary have
been invited to attend the dinner, as
have also the members of the State
Legislature and prominent State Of
ficials.
The program for the evening will
include a report of the work in
which the League has been engaG-
ed in cooperation with State Offl-
cials in preparation for the forth
coming session of the legislature.
In view of the unusual interest
and importance of this event, and
the fact that many citizens will wish
to attend, the Dinner Committee las
announced that tickets for the din
ner. up to the limit of the seating
capacity of the ball room, will be on
sale at the office of the League,
Room 511 Industrial Trust Building,

SPECIAL CHRIST
MAS AND new
YEAR SERVICES
At First Methodist Pro
testant Church

A Christmas morning service will
be held at the FIRST Methodist Pro-
testant Church beginning at o.
clock.
The service will begin with the
singing of Christmas carols by the
choir and Young Peoples Choral
Club.
At this service the invitation will
be given to any who may desire TO
unite with this church. Any persons
who have moved into the community
and may have their letters or who
may get their letters by that Time
are invited to participate in the SER
vice by bringing their letters of
membership.
Any persons desiring the rite Of
baptism may receive baptism at 'his
service.
A special invitation is given to all
who have not yet publicly confessed
Christ to make His birthday your
spiritual birthday by presenting
yourselves at His alter. There is no
more appropriate time or place.
The simple Christmas story will
be read from the Book of books.
Christmas cards and bags are be-
ing sent out to the friends and
members of the church. The purpose
of the card is to remind you that
while we do not forget to give gifts
to each other and to our friends on
our birthdays we also give them
gifts on Jesus birthday. We call
them Christmas gifts. But we have
overlooked the fact that this is His
birthday and that we should bring
gifts to Him just as really as we
give them to our friends. The sug-
gestion is that it is His kingdom
and that for its extension we should
not forget our birthday gifts to Him.
These bags containing the gifts
are to be brought in on the Sunday
before Christmas Day and laid upon
the alter or placed in a box prepar-
ed for them.
On New Years night another spe-
cial service is being planned which
will cover the whole evening, end
include a social hour and an hour of
song and end at midnight with
straight evangelistic meetings.
Everyone is invited to all these
meetings.
1t is hoped that every member of
the church will make special eff
fort to be present on the Sunday he
fore Christmas, December 21.

WILMINGTON
IS DECORATED
FOR CHRISTMAS

Wilmington, Delaware, has put on
it's annual Christmas holiday attire.
Visitors to that progressive city will
find its main streets illuminated
with thousands of red, yellow and
green electric lights, the lights ex-
tending from Front and Market
streets to Eleventh, and from Third
and King streets to Tenth. Several
strings of lights are placed across
the street between each block, and
at the street intersections they run
around each corner so that visitD's
coming. from intersecting streets
can see them from considerable
distance.
Last season Market street only
was illuminated, but so deep an i'm
preston was made that this season
the merchants of King street decid-
ed to have that street decorated in
a similar manner.
The cost of placing these lights on
the two streets amounted TO APP
proximately $4,000, and $500 lights
of from 10 to 80 watts are used. The
first cost, however, is the largest as
after the material is purchased the
cost of lighting is comparatively
small. AS an example of this the
merchants of Market street donated
sufficient money last year to not
only pay for the wiring, globes, etc.
but also to pay for this years light
ing.
The Mayors Committee has also
arranged for numerous other deco
rative effects, and visitors to Will
mington this season will find many
beautifully Illuminated spots.

It was an inspiring sight on Tues
day afternoon to watch men, who
had reached two score years and
ten, and some more on the sunny
side of that age, all interested in
placing the Community Tree in pc
sition in the Plaza Square. There,
it will be a part of the Christmas
decorations that Milford will have

must admit that the achievement is out
OF the ordinary; that the artist has
more IMAM usual premise.
ClluoupIeoly Mrs. Backus has cour-
age as well as persistence. Some of the
SUBJECTS she has undertaken are ex-
tfemely olincult, such. for instance, as
nree-quarter-length portrait of Rear
Aomlral Eoerle. the interior of an
eiaoorats nome or portrait of a young
girl holding bowl of apples.
Perhaps best of all of the paintings
that Mrs. Backus shows is an unpre-
tentious study entitled "A City Win
dow showing a jar of ivy on the sill
OF window. through which one looks
across 10 a prosaic, light-colored brick
Wall-a homely scene, but so well rem
dered in the matter of light and
atmosphere that it becomes interesting,
significant.
There is good painting in several of
the interiors which Mrs. Backus shows,
but in these, which are purely academic
in treatment, one observes a little
weakness in technique, little lack in
composition. For, after all, though the
artist may and should paint what he
or she sees, it is his or her privilege to
rearrange and thus recreate.
The old saying that life is short and
art is long comes to mind in viewing
an exhibition of this sort. and one Won
ders at the courage of those who enter
this field at what would seem to be a
moments notice ard with the expecta-
ton of early, if not immediate, sue
cess. But it is from this spirit that
art is born, this urge which leads to
the adoption of art as a profession by
those far and wide. And though all
may not succeed, it is the part of those
who stand by to wish them "Godspeed."
