WOMAN ON HOARD EDUCATION, OBJECT OF CLUB MOVEMENT Rbrtial Franchise Society Ap i a All nu,i a a cipl Bodies to Make United Effort WORSE MRS. E. C. GRICE Suffrage Organization Hopes' Super intendent vm ue -nest to Bo Found" The co-operation of all civic and social fd'ab In Philadelphia has been. urged bi rth Equal Franchise Society In a united fiffort to have at least one woman ap :nolnted to tno uoara 01 iauouion. hix 'vacancies on the board are to bo tilled the Judges next October. The name of Mrs.- Edwin C. Qrlce was formally In dorsed by tho society. The Equal Franchise Society also ex pressed tho hope that the Board of Edu cation will select tho best superintendent thai can be found, whether" It be a man or a woman. A letter sent to the civic and social el$s of the city read ns follows: "A many attempts have been made In the last few weeks to obtain an expres sion from women Indorsing the nppolnt- , BW1t of a woman superintendent of the .public schools, tho Equal Franchise So dety wishes to express the hope- that the Board of Education will select the best superintendent they can tind. Whether it Is a man or a woman. It should be a person of experience In cx- wntlYe position and, of course, a trained educator. ' "The Equal Franchise Society wishes to draw the attention of all tho public spirited women in Philadelphia to the fact that there will bo six places on the Board of Education to bo filled by tho Judges next October. "This society Is sure that tho women In touch with educational matters will Join In a movement to have women on the school board. " "It Is not necessary now to explain the many reasons that demand the presence of liomen on a board that controls the rteat educational system of Philadelphia, .and w tellers that It will only bo neccs tlix to present the names of women known to be qualified in order to have this reasonable demand satisfied. This society suggests the name of Mrs. Edwin C. Grlce, whoso long association rith the work In the schools and con- ' itructlve and efficient service through the Home and School League make her a most desirable candidate. "The Equal Franchise Society asks tho co-operation of your club in adding names and in putting theso names before the Judges beforo their decision is made. This society suggests that the whole list ubmltted be indorsed by the presidents of the various organizations, in the hope that the choice of the Judges will be In fluenced so that several women may be on the board." j TRADE PRESS MEN ELECT f Indorse Plan for National Defense.

TRAVELED 11,000 MILES Foresters Had Fine Trip to Coast. Honor for Pennsylvanians Supremo representatives of Foresters of America from Pennsylvania arrived home this week from San Francisco, where they attended the Supreme Convention. They report an enjoyable and beneficial Journey, and are going to havo much in formation of Interest and valuo to give the lodges of the State. During their trip they traveled more than 11,000 miles, spending 13 days view ing places of Interest along the route through tho United States and Canada. Six days were spent In San Francisco. Some Important legislation was enacted at the convention. The proposed funeral fund. In which Pennsylvania was par ticularly Interested, was defeated. Na tional Leader H. W. Mace made a strong appeal for the passage of a funeral fund law, but It was Impossible to obtain a two-third vote on the measure. New York State and several other States opposed the law because they have funeral funds in their own Grand Courts. Honor was conferred on three Pennsylvania boys, John P. Donahue was re-elected chair-, man of the board of supreme trustees. James Duress was chosen auditor, and Vr. George Slnnamon was elected supreme medical ex aminer. The Pennsylvania delegation carried away first honora In the parade, v hlch was held on August 2i on the exposition grounds. Delegations from Massachusetts. Connecticut, Khode Island and Vermont accompanied the lo cal representatives to and from the convention city. They had a special train and the trip was one round of pleasure. Judge Edward O'Brien, of Lynn, Mass., organized a band from among the delegates and it gae con certs !n every town In which the special stopped. John Smith, of Court Haverford's band, was the leading member. In some of the Places where the train halted the band caused much amusement and wonder, as the Inhab itants had never seen a brass hand before. Thft nnxt convention will hA hM tn Pnrtlnnit.

Simons was accused of stealing J10 and some merchandise from his employer, Samuel Freedman, of 1046 Ridge avenue. The father, M. H. Simons, said his son was slightly demented. Police Court Chronicles A signal of distress was flying from the mainmast of Joe Sharpless' little craft and its doom seemed Inevitable. Joe himself was at the wheel and It was his red shirt that called the attention of passersby to his plight. The shirt flapped Incessantly In a vigorous breeze, and as the little boat shook from bow to stern, Joe thought that each minute was bo be his last. He wigwagged to other ships, but the skippers seemed to Ignore. In fact, Joe felt certain that he heard iron ical laughter as one large craft swept by him with Imperious indifference. It was this, perhaps, which made him real izo that he was sitting astride the Iron rail of an awning. The mainmast was a elbthes prop, and It was the liquid within him, no doubt, that made Joe think he was back on the deck of the good fihlp Tllllo K. , It was a sad blow, but. a still sadder one was awaiting; him below decks on the sidewalk, where Policeman Eelaney was stationed with a very healthy club. Joe tinally slid from his post and de manded to know the. reason 'for the at tack. "You're In the waters of the enemy." said Delaney, "and I have to look you over," -f "I'm a neutral craft," said Joe. "and I've got clearance papers." The cop then Insisted that the papers bo examined by Magistrate Mecleary, and he took Joe along so that he could learn the result. Although Joe looked some what wabbly below decks, he declared thst he had Just come from 5Vlldwood, where he had been sober for three months, "I didn't get drunk till I came here," said Joe. This aroused the Judge's ire to think that a man only regarded this city as a good place to go on a spree. But Joe finally repented "and promised to stay sober He was djchrged and drifted out CLIFTON CRAWFORD Now appearing in "Tho Galloper," a Patho "Gold Rooster" film. FILMS GET VALUABLE RECRUIT IN CRAWFORD Clifton Crawford, Comedian, Seen to Exceptional Advan tage in "The Galloper" By the Photoplay Editor l'rom time to time the Evening Ledger will print critical reviews of the principal feature tUms. These re views will be written by the Photo play Editor from prlate screenings and will be printed In advance of euch film's appearance at Philadelphia the atres.

Rhys Alexander Sybll-Schwartz, brewery queen... Jessie Kalph Captain O'Malley, of the Foreign Legion. . . Sam Ryan The Mysterious Unknown.. DaMd Burton In Clifton Crawford the films have won a valuable recruit. Ho brings over In "The Galloper" a large part of that very original sense of humor which has al ways distinguished him In the theatre. With his cocky little hat and his perky little manner, ho Jerks through this new Pathe film leaving a wake of laughter. His sudden turns of mind, his naive self possession and a dozen quirks and details of expressive action make his career as a fake war correspondent quite as funny as his adventures in "The Peasant Girl" last winter. It Is good, clean, Intelligent clowning, a thing the films can't get too much of. "With Mr. Crawford as the principal butt of fate, "The Galloppcr" might have loped along easily. In addition, it has charming Rhys Alexander and piquant Fanla Mar inof, Melville Stewart and Jessie Ralph at their best, and a very skilful new comer, David Burton. The plot of Richard Harding Davis' farce comes out much better on tho screen than it did on the stage When Raymond Hitchcock played Mr. Crawford's part. A dozen short scenes, all entertaining in themselves, replace tho exposition which formerly explained why Klrke Warren, war correspondent, ran away from tho Journalistic front In the Balkans. Pretty Miss Alexander, aa an army nurse In search of burled treasure, is reason enough why "Cope" Schuyler (Clifton Crawford) should take his place. The complications of being captured and res cued, as well as difficulties over Warren's sweethearts, past and to come, keep things going merrily till a lucky acci dent discloses the burled treasure. Mr. Crawford does his best work In the scene depleting the preparations for his execution. He stages a score of amusing whimsicalities to delay this firing squad. He argues. He objects. He shakes hands with the sergeant. He declares that the grave of a fellow victim is too short and insists on tts enlargement. He demands a salute, and argues with a trooper who doesn't do It to his satisfaction. He takes half a dozen unsoldlerly attitudes In which no self-respecting firing squad could possibly execute a man. It is a safe bet that half this amusing "business" is Mr. Crawford's own Invention. "The Galloper" will be shown at the Arcadia Friday and Saturday. Charles Chaplin has received word from England that In the photoplay popularity contest recently held there he was first In the list, receiving almost 300,000 more votes than his nearest competitors. Paris also is paying munitions wages to see the American comedian. While there may bo nothing new under tho sun, as the old saying goes, Vltagraph Director Harry DavemSbrt demonstrated conclusively the fact that there was some thing new In motion pictures in his pro duction of the Blue Ribbon feature, "The Making Over of Geoffrey Manning." The manuscript called for a factory fire scene, and stated It would be a good Idea to show the way the fire started. Director Davenport In his search for realltm In a picture replcto with sensational scenes conceived the idea of having the fire originate by rats gnawing matches. Aware of the fact. It would be next to Im possible to train ordinary rodents to do his bidding in daylight and especially in front of the few persons necessary for the filming of such a scene Mr. Davenport was stumped for a time. A friend sug gested the use of tame white rats, but white rats will not register as the ordi nary kind. Why not dye them gray? The problem was solved, A shelf, with a number of cans filled with gasoline, pierced with small holes, a pile of waste under them and a box of matches carelessly dropped over the waste, a little cheese rubbed over the heads of the matches and the scene was set. At a word from Mr, Davenport, the rats were released and, true to their In stinct, made directly for the cheese, A crunch on the head of a match and the fire was started. There have been newspaper reports of fires originating In this manner, but their descriptions have been tame compared to the vivid realism as depicted In the vis ualization on this film. Aa far aa can be ascertained, It is the first time a similar scene has ever been attempted In motion pictures. MILL MEETS DYE SITUATION Knifing Company Consolidates With Finishing Concern Important changes tn the knitting and dyeing Industries are presaged, business men believe, b'y the action of the Com monwealth Knitting Company, Mascher and Jefferson streets, in announcing that, owing to the present dyestuffs situation, it has brought about a consolidation with the Crescent Dyeing and Finishing Com pany, Womrath and Tackawanna streets, Th.

ART StinVRNT WfUtlft 1 FOR SUFFRAGE CAUSE WITH HER PAINT BRUSH Miss Knthcrino Milhous Difn I Post Cards and Posters That Put Propaganda Graphically APPEAL IS PICTURESQUE One Scries Shows Women Doing AH H Man Does Except Going to the Polls and Voting A girl art student, scarcely out of her teens, has Joined In the movement to add this State to tho list of those -wherein women vote. Her efforts to make the ap peal of unenfranchised women more pic turesque and appealing are appreciated by suffrago leaders. Miss Katherlne Milhous she Is e. stu dent In the School of Industrial Art. JIim Milhous thinks more of her work than she does of herself. At least, she refused to bo photographed alone and gave her consent only when he latest poster was added to tho space swept by the camera- Her part In tho surrraglst propaganda has been, conspicuously, the designing of suffrage postal cards, depleting pictures of women doing everything a man can and should do, except casting a ballot. Her latest contribution to tho cause Is a poster setting forth her reasons to tha men of Pennsylvania wljy they should vote for the woman suffraso amendment In November. Doss Tweed onco blamed Cartoonist Nast for a setback ho had 'received In New York. "They can print anything they want about me," he said. "My people can't uuunrsiana mat. tiut these blankety blang cartoons! Even a person that can't read can feel the spirit of them." That explains why, suffrage leaders ex plain. Miss Milhous Is to valuable nn ad junct to the suffrage cause. Her pictures attract converts from classes and masses that would otherwise probably remain la the antl-surtrage camp. The reasons Miss Milhous sets forth as) to why the electorate of this State should vote for the suffrage amendment are: JVomen must obey the laws Just as men do V omen must pay taxes Just as men do. women surfer from bad government Just aa men no. lngs0,bettejWnt t0 mak chliaren's surround.
