Boys Caught in Restaurant
Raid Believed Taught
by Criminal
DINERS -ROBBED IN PLAY
The arrest of eleven boys in a raid nude
1 fcy the police of the Eleventh and Winter
streets station, on the Commercial restau
rant at 233 North Eighth street this morn
ing has brought to light what Is asserted to
tie one of the queerest forms of systematized
robbery ever known In Philadelphia,
The boys arrested nre all typical city
gitnln. It Is hard to determine Just how
old they are. One of them clalniH to be
teventeen," but all of them have dwarfed
bodies and appear to be not more than
twelve or thirteen years old. A Ouster
Brown suit worn by one of them lent a
grotesque touch to the scene as they Blood
In the police Btatlon.
According to the police the boys are
members of a gang organized and fostered
by one or more old criminal heads, who
are being sought. The game, It Is claimed,
Is for the boys to hang around the restau
rant until some patron well 'under the In
. fluence of liquor puts In an appearance.
Then they will- begin to play childish
pranks on the stranger, getting him In a
friendly humor until eventually he will
snter Into skylarking play with them,
gooner or later two or three will be hang
ing on him at he same t,lme, apparently
Jn frolic. When the play Is over and the
patron has left the restaurant he find
that his money and whatever other valu
ables he has possessed have disappeared
during the lark with the youngsters.
The boys were given n hearing this
morning beforo Magistrate Tracy, of the
Eleventh and Winter streets station, nnd
were held In (800 ball. The pallce are
row looking for the "man higher up" who
they believe Is the Instigator of the practices
of the youthful criminals.

NINE-CENT WAR LOAF
BAKED IN WASHINGTON
Food Administration Prepared
New Bread in Fight for
Conservation
"WASHINGTON. Oct. :6. Over .11 a
little whitewashed cellar beneath a once
aristocratic dwelling: at Fifteenth and K
streets. America's first war kitchen Is
going full hlnst today.
It Is the foundation for, a whole nrmy
of war kitchens which will spring tin In
towns and cities throughout the land within
the nett few months to help America's
housewives conserve war foodswheat,
ment, fats, sugar nnd dairy pr-.duc.s.
They were experimenting today with the
nation's first ome.lal war bread. The
piece doled out by thR directress. Mrs.
J rank 1'. Wilcox. tastd mighty good.
And she cut It from a twenty-four-ounce
loaf he had baked at a cost of nine cents.
UTt IS SIMPLK
"The recipe Is simple," said Mrs Wil
cox. "Take one-quarter cupful of rye
flour, three-quarter cup of whole wheat
flour, three cups of white Dour, one and
one-quarter cupfuls of lukewarm water, one
and one-half teaspoonfuls salt and one
half of an yeast cake, That m .kes one
nnd one-half pounds of war tread "
Th's primary experimental war kitchen
waB financed by the food administration.
The Idea was fathered by AsslBtan. Secre
tary of Agriculture Carl Vrcoman. Con
servative methods of handling smaller
quantities nnd substitutes for the war
foods are being worked out carefully.
After war bread, the kitchen will take up
meat substitutes, handling or cheap meats
and soups; then conservnt'on of fats hi
rooking nnd. after that, conservative
methods of using sugar nnd dairy products.
Kitchens am, ovek .-..and
This program worked out. the food ad'
mlnlstratlon will establish war kitchens
from roast to coast, with graduates of the
Washington war kltchen''rourse In ch irge.
Local housewives will be Invited to attend
the dally classes, make the war bread and
other war tllshss. cook In tho war kitchen
and take the food and cookery plan home
with them for everyday use.
The average housewife's Interest In the
wir kitchen has been demonstrated here by
tho crowds who nttend classes. In thrco
days between 300 and 400 housewife stu
dents have been taught to make war bread,
Some men cooks have attended. ,
"We hope by the expansion of this war
kitchen," said Mrs. Wilcox, "to lend prac
tical assistance to the country's 22.000.000
housewives In putting Into effect the war
food-siving plan of the food udmlnlstra
tlon." "HOOVER LOAF" CAUSES
SURPRISE TO BAKERS HERE
Reports from Washington thnt the
"Hoover Loaf" Is soon t" become the basis
upon which bakers nil over the country ate
to hold their licenses comes as a surprise
to Philadelphia bakers. When Benjamin
Jacobs, Government baking expert, after
experimenting here for several days, do
parted without any definite notice to the
bakers. it, was assumed In many quarters
that his trial formula had proved a failure.
That this was not the case and that Hoover
has, after all, favorably considered the
J icobs formula Is now Indicated by the
latest Washington stntement.
John Eagleson. vice president of the
Amorlcan Stores Company, disclaimed
knowledge this morning that the so-called
"Hoover loaf" would develop any marked
changes of formula.
The formula for the new "war loaf" is
being strictly guarded at Washington, be
yond the fact that ft Is an all-wheat loaf,
not a "mixed" or "substitute loaf." In any
sense.
"We may come to a mixed loaf before the
war Is over," Mr. Hoover Is quoted as say
ing, "but Just now we nre planning a
simplified wheat bread which gives equal
nutrition, yet conserves wheat and fats.
If the wheat growers of the country con
tinue to dq their share, we do not believe
the American people will be reduced to a
war bread, such as the people of Europe
have been eating for almost three years."
The best bread conservation, after all,
Mr. Eagleson holds, with other experts, is
so to bake it that It may keep Indefinitely,
retaining Its quality arid flavor' Just as
well on the fourth day ns the first. This
is the kind of bread housewives should In
sist on. To throw away a single slice
Because It has turned stale represents an
economic crime at the present food crisis.
Philadelphia candy makers today re
ceived with Jubilation the announcement
by the national food administration that
the order denying sugar to candy, confec
tion arid, ice cream manufacturers has been
modified to allow BO per Cent of their
normal requirements.
Otherwise, caterers declared, candy, con
fection and ice cream plants would have
been forced to close. The new modifica
tion is effective until January 1.
This Is to Include their stock on hand,
and the manufacturers will be required to
meet the conditions of the food admin
istration In order to obtain sugar. The new
order wai Issued In the form of a telegram
to the refiners and wholesale distributors.

REFORMATION MUSIC
FESTIVAL PROGRAM
Mendelssohn Symphony, Bach
Suite nnd Matthews's Cantata
Performed at Concert
As Philadelphia's Contribution to the Inf
ormation oundrlcentennlal a musical festival
wns given last evening, drawing from the
delegates to tho Lutheran General Council,
meeting In synod here this week, and others
Interested from the religious, historical and
musical standpoints an audience that filled
the Academy from pit to dome.
A program of befitting dignity was
marked by traits of large simplicity and
appropriateness of selection, the numbers
being Mendelssohn's Klftli Symphony, called
by him and his commentators the "Iteforma
tlon"; linen's Hulto No. 2. In II minor, und
a novelty, II. Alexander Matthews'B cantnta,
"The City of Uod."
The participants Included the Philadel
phia Orchestra, with Leopold Stokowskl con
ducting ,ln the Iiacli nnd Mendelssohn and
accompanying the cantata, which the
composer directed with a chorus of 400 to
sing the libretto, assisted by Mildred Kaas,
soprano; Nicholas Douty. tenor; Horatio
connell, baritone, and ltalph Lewars, organ
ist, ns soloists. The chorus was comprised
of selected voices from the Fellowship. Men
delssohn, Fortnightly. Matinee Musical and
Philadelphia Music Clubs, the Philadelphia
Orchestra Chorus and the Choral Hoclety.
Mr. Stokowskl gave n superb reading to
the Mendelssohn Symphony, which Is a seri
ous nnd vigorous work In harmony with Its
Inspiration, the celebration of the tercenten
ary of the Augsburg Confession of Faith In
1830. Though n later composition. It has
less of the glamorous romance of the t'om
poser's "Scotch" and "Italian" symphonies,
but Just as much ntmosphere. though of a
differing, sterner type. There Is an aggres
sive epic iiuallty about It and considerable
dramatic force Instead of the lyric charm
of Mendelssohn's other writings In the sym
phonic form, and Mr. Stokowskl and his
men brought out the ruggedness nnd the
sense of conflict.
The Unch Suite, one nf the four written
by the great Johann Sebastian, and scored
by him for two violins, viola, violoncello,
flute nnd double bass, was a sheer delight
In Its melodic loveliness. Its refinements of
harmony and its delicacy of feeling.
Mr. Matthews, organist at the Church of
St. Luke and the Epiphany, has written
several notable cantatas, including "The
Life Everlasting" nnd "The Crnvcrslon,"
but "The City of God," In Its broad yet ele
mentally simple lines, Its appropriate and
original melodies, Its obvious ecclesiastical
spirit nnd Its variety of treatment of cho
ruses and solos, seems destined to rank
as his master work. The organ hns a
prominent part In the full orchestration, nnd
ItH participation shows the skill of the adept
organist who can compose excellently for It
ns well nil play It
Prof. Luther ltecd. of the Theological
Seminary at Mount Airy, who prepared the
text, has portrayed the Church nnd Its his
tory under the biblical figure of the "City
of Clod." Its foundation, decay, restoration
nnd thanksgiving being described In scrip
tural phrases. The significance, of the Ref
ormation Is emphasized by many of the
sayings of Christ. A characteristic feature
of the cantata Is the use nf three his
toric Reformation hymns, "Be Not Dis
mayed, O Little Flock," "Lord. Keep 1's
Steadfast In Thy Word" and "A Mighty
Fortress is Our find," sung by choir and
congregation as climaxes to the second,
third and fourth parts of the work
Both Mr. Matthews and the Rev. T)r
Reed are Phlladelphlans and the orchestra
nnd chorus were native, so It was fitting
that the soloists should also be of Philadel
phia. Miss Faas's vibrant nnd clear voice
was heard advantageously In "Hear Me
When 1 Call." Mr. Douty had ono of the
gems of the score, "Comfort Ye, Comfort
Ye. My People," and sang It with beauti
ful art, and Mr. Connell was impressive and
reverent In the words of the Saviour, "I
Am the Way, the Truth and the) Life." Mr.
Lewars performed the organ passages with
polished technique and the chorus sang
with admirable precision, unity and spirit.

Stulsnts of scenario writing for motion

tu comply with many of the best principles
of film art. It Is an Ideal script, and credit
Is due to the capable manner in which each
situation has been handled. The direction
was also of an exceptional nature and re
vealed a thorough comprehension of the
author's purpose. Credit for the success
of a production orten belongs to tlie "film
editor." for It Is ills duly to cut and as
semble the picture. In this instance the
action Is clear and swift, and the nbsence
of excess footage is a credit to the cutter.
The animated titles are admirably done
and win attention from the start. TJiere
was a dinner party shown that gave' the
director an opportunity to use some ln
terprctlvo dancing and a large pond with

furnished the only lighting for the room. It

the entire five reels In one color.
Olga Petrova Is excellent, showing a de

continuous appearance before the camera.

drama. Here he went beneath tho shell of
melodrama to the human motives beneath.
And now his "Fall of the Komanoffs" has
proven his ability to present contemporary
history. "Kismet" and "The Woman Thou
Gavest Me" will be new testa nf Mr.
Brenon's versatility.

cannot control her, no matter how I try.
The fact that I
don't want her to
do a thing Is
enough, It seems, to
set her nt It. There
she goes new with

although she knows

It Is going to tain

when she takes cold
It Is a very serious
matter for her.''

willful. Impertinent look in her big brown
eyes which spoiled the jiaftiral sweetness of
tho rest of her face.
"If I were you, I would send that girl
to a good school .f the Fevcrest type." I
said to her mother on tho day I left. "I'm
afraid you are going to have trouble with
her."
She smiled nnd shook her head "I'm
afiald 1 hno given oti th wrong Impres

one would call had. She Is Just willful.

I bald that I hoped so. but at heart I
thought that a great deal more than will

she was also hard-heat ted and selfish, and

When we passed that way tho next year
my premonitions concerning her weie ful

actress nnd for months her mother had not
heard front her
I promised her family to visit some of
tho large motion-picture studios In the near

The headlines which, told the story ,ln the

he poured out the story of the girl's "cWli
with him." ' pl .
Hlie had no talent far nrtme-" h
"but she was so assertive and per!
that W;e gave her a small tart or two-
fort of thing for which her nenonalltv i
suited. Then somebody found out that's
was very daring. All you had to do lsfc"t
tell her -a thttie vm 1nnf.rii an.t lUal
horses couldn't keep her from dolr.r ta-I
never do these so-called, 'stunt' films I I
can help It. but the company la tronr tut
them, and I have to obey orders. This '
a rase like that. Miss Klo had only Mlt
!..n ... ma vasi, out it was a aanrew
one, nnd 1 cautioned her repeatedly tltat'i
must obey otders to the letter But
know her. That was enough to make hf i
tie opposite. .She deliberately threvV swas
her life."
It teemed that the dangerous part 1T
wuh to play called for her to stand on ih
running board of nn automobile and heM
out her hand to a young man who would
Jump fiom,a moving train to the automo
bile. Klo was told that she waa to clln
closely to the car which would be driven
quite near to the train. She was rehearse
again and again as to Just how far h
could lean from the side In safety, blK
when the scene was being taken, the willful
girl suddenly stretched out Just aa far as
she could for one fatal second.
What Is that quality In some people
which makes them react fiercely against ths
slightest show of authority, against any
thing at all which any other human being
may want of them or for them7 In my
opinion, lb Is the very root of the devil's
power that Insidious, sneering wfilsper"
which he makes to young souls, that causes1
them to bcllevo that they are more powerful
than any other force In the world.
I do not bellevo that Flo was at heart as
bad as she appeared. And there Is po
whisper more Insidious or more fatal than'
that of the devil.
Only the life which has been consecrate
to Cod can wholly resist It.
