But It's so good that I havo to let you In on It. She Is at ono of the army base hospitals at a camp In the South, and she's only- been there about three weeks,' She begins with Thanksgiving: "Fifteen of us were Invited through the T. M. C. A. to signal corps officers' mess. We had one good time. When we woke up reveille at 6:45 It was pouring, and my soul, the mud! Our camp roads surely run a close second to Flanders, mud. Major Xi r- and his wife were our hosts and the assembled host was made up of numerous southern belles 'of the town and the offi cers who had Invited them. Dinner was to be at 2 d". m. (remember, we had had breakfast before 7) and at 3' p. m. -we sat down four men and- two girls 'to a table. But It wai well worth waiting for; turkey, ice cream, cake, pastry and all the 'rest that goes, with a Thanksgiving meal. There were twenty-two tables: Just rough boards with stationary board benches. But the room was filled with holly and mistletoe and the "tables were covered with red and white crepe paper, so with the red lights it was jnopt attractive... , . . . , ;"After- dinner .there was an impromptu 'concert.!' A boy played a mandolin, and ..couicThe' play? Oft! Another read a fool take-offpn army life; another sang. That OY'enJng"there was a, dance at our recrea tion hall." '..ilSo much for Thanksgiving. Then she turns to the dally life: "Have you. ever had anatomy? Will you kindly murder the man Who 'invented canlllculi,- lamellae. Haversian canals and all the rest of It? I assure you, anybody coming hero for the sole purpose of a good time Is sure to be disappointed. Of course, In between times 'we do relax no play, all work Is no go. All play is no go either. But In spare mo ments we have our R. H. (recreation hall) to go to. The Liberty Theatre Is free to nurses .and we are allowed two. early leaves and one late leave a week. The -iR. H. Is always open to our friends, es pecially from 3:30 to 4:30, when tea Is siryed. So'you see they treat us wonder fully.

HE GOT Into the car, he told me,, and wondered1 what on earth every one was rearing at. He 'felt 'almost self-conscious arid' abused. Wer'e they laughing at him? Buit justvthen a Colored mammy, one of tho nice bis, spready kind. In kerchief and turban, spoke out her mind' to the assem-bled-car, and he settled back to listen, too.

ORNSMN SONGS HEARD N RECITAL Greta -Torpadie Gives Composi tions of the "Apostle of Mod- . t :..i- ti ernism in. jumic xucuiru Greta Torpndle, a Swedish soprano, made her first appearance In. .Philadelphia ..before an- appreciative. audience, at the' Little Thea tre, last eVenlng In a song recital. Miss Tor padlo' showed a voice limited in range and power, but', even, fairly flexible and of. good quality, ". She has, moreover; a very keen appreciation for dramatic points and de livers every.-song with an action arid facial expression; that never transcends the- bounds of good-taste, while using-these auxiliaries'-to the' .utmost. Miss Torpadle began her program with three songs of the tlmeof Hacndel and Pur cell,' but the .formal style of composition .does not suit her either vocally or sentimentally, as she has not the precise manner- of vo callzatlon required by these masters arid did not seem to be wholly In sympathy wltfi the songs. This feeling, however, was entirely dispelled by her second "group', a series of Ave really beautiful Scandinavian songs. Here she' was on her native heath, not only as to language but In voice .manage-, ment and sentiment an well, and she gave the-songs with exquisite taste and feeling, showing, the real Import of modern Norse song. Before singing this group Miss Tor padle read tho words of each- song, giving the hearers' a clear Idea of the' sentiment to be' conveyed In the music and Incidentally showing herself to be an elocutionist of no small ability. ' Tho chief numbers of tho concert, how ever, wcro six songs by. Leo Ornsteln, three of'them given for the first time, and the com poser did Miss Torpadlo tho honor of playing the accompaniments himself. Ornsteln has been hailed as "the apostle of modernism," and these songs fully bear out his claim to that somewhat doubtful title. It Is much to the credit of Miss Torpadle that she was able to memorize so accurately the voice parts of the songs, which was often totally unrelated to the accompaniment both as to tonality and as to sentiment Con sonant harmonies were Indeed rare, but strangely enough the voice by Itself, as- a rule, maintained a moderately definite. If somewhat commonplace, melodic outline, and was also fairly distinguishable as to tonality. The dissonant -parts were nearly- all In the accompaniment. The total effect of the compositions was one of surprise -rather than of Interest or desire to hear them .again. Owing to the wide diversity of sentiment In voice part and accompaniment there was a certain feeling of Incongruity that attached to the songs, .as a whole. The reason for this may possibly be that Mr. Ornsteln, In the voice part. -has doubtless given his Interpretation of the sentiment as revealed by the- words alone-,-while-in the accompanlmmt-he essays specific effects as shown by the title. This was especially the case In the first two songs,' "The Raindrop" and "The Nlghtln-1 gale." The third song, "The Mother Croon," was written In a clear tonality almost without dissonant effects, but revealed nothing ex t inordinary either In melody or harmony. The last three, entitled "Three Moorish Songs," had the same generally vague melodic out lines and dissonant accompaniments that marked the first songs. All, however, were well received by the audience'. MIsS Torpadle closed her recital with ' a group of modern French songs. MISS ADELE MOSIER , Photo br Photo-Crafters. Daughter ofJIr. and .Mm.

DREAMLAND ADVENTURES By DADDY A comvlcta new adventure each week, beoin ntno Monday and ending Saturday (Balky 8am leads an army of mules to tret Belgian hones and cotos held captive by the Germans. On the advice of Billy Belgium the mules disguise themselves as ghosts and give the German guards an awful scare.) CHAPTER V Like Knights of Old THE Germans, scared stiff, stood for a moment looking at tho white spectres sweeping down from the graveyard. They wore too much frightened to run. Again came the roaring wall. At the same time half-burned sticks In the fire abruptly Jumped out of the blazing heap and danced around among the Germans' legs burning and scorch'ng hero and there. That was too much. With wild shrieks tho soldiers turned nnd fled for their lives. They thought the Imps of darkness were after them. The sergeant, one of the last to run, slipped and fell In the snow. Balky Sam whirled around at him, and wham ! he sent the sergeant headforemost Into a snowbank. , Johnny Bull rushed up and pulled the sergeant out by the seat of his trousers. Billy Goat, eager to get into the fray, butted at the sergeant but caught johnny Bull In stead and sent both Johnny and the ser geant back Into the snowbank. Johnny thought a German had kicked him and ho was mad all over as he climbed out of the snow. One very pompous German officer was guarding the gate to vthe corral. He was angry at the soldiers for being pcaxed. Suddenly the key to the corral was whisked out of his hand, his hat was' shoved over his eyes, he was whirled around, a living battering ram landed on him and a growling beast fastened Itself to. his coat tails. The German officer suddenly concluded that place wasn't a bit healthy for him, and he set off for Berlin at a pace.whlch made Johnny Bull, clinging to .his coat, almost dizzy with the speed. It was Peggy and Billy Belgium, Invisible to the Germans, who had p)ayed the pranks 'wh'ch had helped so much to frighten the soldiers. Now Billy Belgium fitted the key Into the lock of the corral and swunir open the gate. In swept Balky Sam and his ghostly army. "Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Come out here, you German horses and fight." challenged Balky Sam. But the horses only crowded Into the furthest corner of the corral. "We'll 'show you that an Amercaq army mule is better than a. dozen German war horres." boasted Balky Sam. "Are you American mules?" cried a voice from among the horses. "Sure we nre. Come and fight," brayed Balky Sam. "Welcome, Americans! We love Ameri cans!" cried the horses. "Here, none of that kamerad stuff." snort ed palky Sam, much vexed. "We don't want any Germans loving us.' "But we nre not Germans. We are Bel gian horses forced Into slavery by the Huns." "Belgian horses! Hurrah!" shouted Billy Belgium. 'Ah. chucks!" snorted Balky Sam. "I thoueht we were going to have a real fight." "Here nre Germnn war horses li'd'nt: behind us," neighed the Belgian horses. Tight them." The Belgian horses opened up and there In the rear were dozens of strong, fierce looking steeds. We surrender," neighed all the German war horses. "We've had more fighting than we want." "We don't want you to surrender. We want to whip you.' Braved Balky Sam. bu he brayed In vain. The German horses wouldn't give battle. Finally Balky Sim had an Idea. "Let's settle' thle like the knights of old." he pleaded. "You pick the best among you as your champion. T'll be the Amer'can chamnlon. We will fight a due'. If your champion wins you are to go free and I become a German captive. If I wn you are to go Into Belgium, 'there to take the place nf h farm horses that will never come back." Tie German horses looked Balky Sam over. He didn't seem large or strong. Th! consulted among themselves, then opened rank's, and a huge, powerful horse stepped j, proudly forward. "I am J-ear nugnt, me generars war horse." he neighed. "I am so strong and beautiful all other horea bow before me, I, accept your challenge." Peggy gave a tfasp -of d'amay. Balky Sam looked a midget beside jthts monster steed. (Tomorrow ulll teSofd'tJIs unwtjiejtftf, TO DANCE IN Mei a.HMMMlli CITY UTILIZES SEVEN TAX-LEVYING UNITS Municipal Research Bureau Clears Situation Arising From Fourteen Total Rates Few Phlladelphlans know there aro seven tax-levying units In the city and that tho fourteen different total rates of real estate taxation range from $1.4G to $2.30. These differences nre explained In a pamphlet la sued by the Bureau of Municipal Research. Contrary to tho common Impression that $2.35 on realty 3 the only total rate, the pamphlet explains that the peculiar system of laws applying to taxation here provides for a wide range of subjects from which the city derives different rates of incoriie. The three rates for city and schools arc as follows: Two dollars and thirty-five cents on city real estate, $1.7G 2-3 on suburban realty and 1.47V4 on farms. The seven tax-levying units consist of the city-county, the school district and five of Philadelphia's six poor districts. It Is these five districts that cause tho larger numbei of different tax rates. Because the city-county has nothing to do with providing for the poor of the territory comprised within the six poor districts, and Inasmuch as the threo city-county rates include a tax "for the re lief and employment of the poor," it Is clear that tho general rates In the poor districts must be less than in other sections. The rates applicable to property in the poor districts are 2.32 on city real estate, $1,74 2-3 on suburban and $1.40 on farms. If, as happens sometimes, the poor districts need no additional revenues no poor tax Is revied, with tho result that tho combined rate is lower. Whenever additional revenue Is needed two, five; seven or more cents Is added to all property subejet to taxation. For this reason the total In tho poor districts maybe higher or lower than that paid by the city generally. In tho Roxborough Poor District, which comprises a portion of tho Twenty first Ward, no tax Is levied, but the district receives from the city-county tho poor taxes levied in the district. . Other taxes levied are on horses and cat tle, money nt Interest, carriages tb hire on business nnd poll tax on individual voters. Tho two latter are not Included In the gen eral scheme, as they do not fall on property. The pamphlet appends a table showing all of the city's rates for this year and such of the 1919 rates as are now known. ZIONISTS TO URGE JEWISH HOMELAND Establishment of Nation in Pales tine to Be Discussed at Con gress Here The Zionist members of the American Jew ish Congress, which will begin Its sessions Monday at the St. James Hotel, will offer a resolution urging the establishment of a na tional Jewish homeland In Palestine. The congress has been called largely through the efforts of the Zionists, who ex pect to have an (Overwhelming majority there, although they expect some opposition. The Zionists demand the organization of their people on a democratic basis, with leaders and spokesmen chosen In accordance with democratic principles. Prominent Phlladelphlans who nre Inter ested In the Zionist movement are L. K Levy, Rabbi B. L. Leventhnl, Jacob GInsburg, Br, Louis J. Rublnsohn, Mrs. H. Lowenburg, Wil liam B. Leaf. Dr. Benjamin L.

"I'nconsciously, we've been partial to the girls," said Mrs. George W. Urquhart, head of the Urquhart Auxiliary of the Bed Cross, with headquarters In Red Cross Hall at the Wannmaker store. "And we are going to try to make up for it now'by making over the worn soldiers' garments s-ent us for reclama tlc.i Into undtrshlrts, knickerbockers and blouses for Belgian boys. "Boys' clothing Is undoubtedly harder to malii' than the simple one-piece dresses and iprnns wo make for girls. And it isn't al ways easy to pick out the best parts of sol dkrs' old clothes for remaking. But we know tb." children need garments; the Government is urging us to use up the old clothing in this way, and we know that It is not u waste of time or material, but a necessary move. That" Is why we are urging women workers to join the ranks in our sewing room." The undershirts are fashioned cleverly from 51d socks. One nock, split, makes the bark, another tho front and two smaller ones form tho sleeves of the shirt. The knickerbocker suits are made from the olive drab flannel shirt nnd military trousers sent by the Government. Many of these have to be patched and mended. They nre cut by an electric cutter and then basted and ma chine stitched by the volunteer workers. In another part of the big workroom of the Urquhart Auxiliary the women are com pleting their quota of warm vests for the boys In Siberia. And in still another division dozens of women are packing BOO Christmas boxes, which will be given to boys In mili tary camps In this country. Members of the auxiliary decided that friendless men in the home camps should not be neglected, so they donated candles, cigarettes, socks, chewing gum. tobacco and playing cards to fill these Christmas packets. They will be used as "cmcigeney packets" and sent only to men not apt to receive other boxes. As a Hed Cross benefit the Urquhart Aux iliary Is planning a Christmas dance, which will be given in the Rose Room of the Bel-levue-Stratford the evening of December 26.

Mitchell Palmer, alien property cus todian, The sale will be held nt noon In tho main otlice of tho plant Twelfth and Thompson streets. Adelbert Fischer, said to have been a re serve olllcer In the Herman army and now In an Internment enmp, was president of the company when the plant, operating on I'nltetl States Government contracts, was seized. Fischer figured In the alleged snuiRKlIni; of chronometers from two interned flcrman raiders at the Philadelphia Navy Yard In March, 11H7. The raiders were tho Prlna Kite! Fricdrlch and the Kronprlnz Wllhelm. Stock aggregating $400,000 In value will be sold tomorrow. Three thousnnd shares of preferred of a par value of $100 n share and 100,000 shares of common stock of the same par valuo will be offered. After the nllcn-property custodian ns sumed charge of the plant a n6w "all-American" board of directors was chosen. The. re constituted board consisted of K. Puscy Pass more, governor of the Federal Itcservc Hank for this district ; Charles S. Calwell, presi dent of the Corn F.xehnnge National Bank ; Ralph J. Baker, of Harrlsburg, assistant genernl counsel of the alien-property cus todian, and Daniel '. Hlldrcth nnd T. Her bert Johnston, of this city. The new directors elected Mr. Calwell president of the company, Mr. Hlldreth treas urer and Mr. Baker secretary. A big gain in net profits was shown on the comp'any'H balance sheet after the new directorate assumed charge. The net profits for the year ending December 31, 1917, were $212,259.93. For the ten months ending October 31 of this year they reached a total of $570,224.49. The business was established In 1878 under the namo of Schutte & (loehrlng, the partners being L,. .Schutte' and John O. Goehrlng. The latter withdrew In 1883. Upon Schutte's death In 190G his holdings were acquired by Krnest KoertlnR, of Han over, Germany, the latter's Interests being looked after by Adelbert Fischer, his son-in-law. When the United States entered the war effort was made, It Is charged, to conceal the concern s ownership, Mrs. Koertlng giving a note for $150,000, payable In 1937, for the block. Under Its German management the com pany, It is said, made a nieclalty of con tracts for tho American navy, manufactur ing ejector and Injector valves for ships. In this way, It was charged, the management gained access to many American naval plans. With the stock tomorrow will be offered several patents and patent applications held by Fischer and other alien enemies.
