COMIC CLUBS PROVE ARMY OF HAPPINESS Latest News and Follies of the Day Talien Off in Mum mers' Turnout An army of happiness chasing the gloom. That, in a nutshell, whs the comic section of the mummers' big turn out. The latest news and follies of the day flashed through the whole division. Itich and poor, mighty and lowly, were hit alike in thn human cartoons. Fnn With Hooe and Sugar .Tohu Barleycorn.' the High Cost of Living, and the Migar question were touched on from nil angles while the league of nations and the pnce treaty also got their share of attention. The experts of lnnghland had close competition. From n casual elnnee it looked as though the Liberty Club. tn Hugh Murruy and the South Camdeu would share the leading honors from the stnndpoint of up-to-the-minute com edy. Althongh twenty clubs were scheduled to march In the comic division, many of these doubled up with others and lost their identity. There were about fourteen organizations in this division. From the standpoint of laughs, the mummers of the South Camden Club appeared to be the most popular. They laid special stress on the liquor nnil the sugar question. The death of King Alcohol was depleted by a scene from a cemetery on a float. A grinning skeleton leaped from a grnve toward a red-nosed tramp who urged him to come back to life. Dead March for John Barleycorn Jojin Harleyeorn, a brother of King Alcohol, was shown in a coffin which was surrounded by dangling whiskv bottles. Nearby a sad-looking musician played the dead march on a "tinnv" piano. Almost constant applause greeted another exhibit dealing with the high cost of sugar. There was a long pier resembling Knee street wharf at which n ship stood loaded to the gunwales with sugar. On the ship was a placard bearing the announcement: "Five hun dred thousand tons of sugar for Kng lnud and one-half pound for United States." A league of nations brigade consist ing of thirteen submarines, each con taining a mau met emphatic approval. Each of the ships was adorned with the flag of a different country. Hight on the heels of this wartime feature was a cootie brigade which won no end of laughs, There were twenty mammoth cooties, who shimmied to popular airs as they crawled along. Wood Alcohol Has Innings Of course, wood alcohol had to have its innings. The horror of it was de picted by an undertaker's wagon which was loaded with bottles. Signs telling of the many deaths due to use of this liquid adorned the wagon. A weird looking undertaker, all black crepe from head to foot, acted as navigator. A Camden trolley car running on a line called the "Poor Service, I. O. l Co.. strurk popular anneal. It wns announced that the rate of fare was thirty-five rents and patrons were urged to go to Philadelphia where they could ride for a nickel. "Dream of German)'" There nli wan "a Prerm of fier- many" feature, which showed how the Teutons' ill .tin-, were Miutleied. There were sunken German ships nud vic torious American craft ou foreign seas, all of which was depicted on a mam moth cane worn bv John Glenn. For n hat he wore a Liberty Bell, on top of which was an airplane. The plane was announced as the "new dove of peace." There were nt least 1000 men in the Camden club's line-up, led by Captain niiam r . jj. Steele. Hunnlng nip and tuck in the way of good ideas with the Camdenites was the Liberty Association of Philadelphia. In many instances their floats were more true to life and carried out on more ar tistic lines. A big feature of this organization was the Night Marc Brigade. This consisted of fifteen gigantic whisky bottles with labels bearing names of well known brands. Inside each bottle was a man. Many said they would have been more happy if the position had been vice versa. The human bottles were led by an im mense glafrs of beer. Hundreds of spec tators agreed that the exhibit awakened sweet memories and made them thirsty. Convicts' Brigade a Hit One of the biggest hits of the entire comic- section was made by the Con victs' Brigade in the Liberty line-up. The prisoners, who looked dangerous and fierce, were labeled as "North I'enn Dank Crooks." Their leader, who call ed himself Warden McOinty, carried a banner. It bore the words "On Our Way from North l'enn to Kastern l'enn." The warden was imperforated by Mart Cunningham. Tanks Iron and Human A "Bevo" float scored emphatically. There were several tanks Iron and hu mans and beside these Avere a platoon of barrtiJ. On the side, as thoueh showlnc its discunt with the surroundlugB. was a big bottle of Bevo. The red -nosed men on the scene looked lovingly toward the barr Is and frowned vigorously at the neve . J EVENING PUBLIC CLUBDOM ENIOYS :T Chef3 of Social Oriyanizations Proparo Works of Art for Members' tables ANNUAL RECEPTIONS HELD This is a day of hospitality and feast ing in the big clubs of the city, ltccep tlons and elaborate dinners will be the features of their New Year's celebra tions. The annual receptions nnd dinners will be held at the Vnlon League, the Ilacquet Club, the Philadelphia Club, the Manufacturers' Club, the Art Club and the Markham Club. New Year's Day hns alwnys been n groat holiday festlvnl in these old clubs and the occa sion of gatherings of the members nnd their families. One of the distinctive features in most of the clubs has always been the extra care bestowed by tli 9 chefs on the food nnd the table decorations for the New Year's dinner. For days they have been busy preparing to outdo their rivals nnd their own records of past years. The chef at the Philadelphia Club, Thirteenth and Walnut streets, has ar ranged a splendid table array. Ho has molded figures out of suet nnd tallow nnd carved vegetables into the shapes of flowers and animals. He has been aided and abetted in his table landscape by the engineer of the club who has built an ingenious electrical toy wind mill which will form the centerpiece of the display. The chef at the Union League is another table decorator of merit. He has evolved some new elaborations on, his plans for scenic table effects that he has been using for several years. The chefs of the various clubs are working on the idea that things of beauty are undeniably joys forever especially if they arc edible. STRIKE TIES UP SHIPPING Tugboat Men Refuse to Report for Work When Rise Is Not Granted Shipping in this port is tied up ns the result of the strike today of several hundred men employed on tug boats and lighten. They demand more pay nnd n ten-hour day. The men are employed as masters, mates, pilots, cooks. Stewarts and deck hands. Their demands were made yes terday in the form of n strike ultimatum to to into affect tomorrow if not acceded to. But last night when the tugs were tied up at the piers, the notice wns jriven that unless the demands were granted nt once no men would report for work today. The owners char acterize the demands as impossible nnd say they will be unable to grant them no matter how long the men stay out.

OFFERED MUMMERS OF, AtJTQ TRAGEDY TEACHERS' SESSION Election of Officers Will fee Last Business of Convention of Educators WOMEN FAIL IN CAMPAIGN Officers will be elected by the Penn sylvania State Educational Association before the adjournment today of the seventieth annual convention nt the Central High School. Women teachers have apparently failed in their effort to brine about the election of a woman ns president of the association, but they believe that they have paved the way for a woman leader in 1021. The committee on nominations will make its report today, and the election will follow. Recommendation that management of the association be brought directly under the control of the teachers was made in a report yesterday by it special com mittee on revision of the constitution. One of the members of- this committee is Miss Mnrgaret T. Magulre, principal of the McCall School. The committee reported that only 18.000 of the 40,000 teachers in the state are members. Tt added that there was a necessity of having an organi zation that would provide means of having the classroom teachers "take a more active part in tho business nnd educational discussions of the assoclar tion" and of having an organization that would be "more democratic" and "more representative of the present democratic spirit of Americanism." 'NEW YORK IS GAY Hoarded Up Liquid Refreshments Much In Evidence New York, Jan. 1. Celebration of the advent of the new year continued until dawn in the hotels nnd restaurants nlong the "Great White Wnv," the revelers taking advantage of what they considered the last opportunity to cele brate in tho hilarious manner tradi tional to New York. Police and other observers said the crowds which jam med upper Broadway from midnight un til nearly morning were equal in size and spirit to those of former years. While unnumbered thousnnds pa raded the thoroughfare with all sorts of noise makers, other thousands who with foreslghtedness had purchased stocks of wines and liquors before July 1 were making merry in the hotels nnd restau rants, Much of the liquid refresh ments was sent in advance by truck after reservations for the night had been made. A heavy profit through "cork age" and "cooling" charges was reaped. CHICAGO'S REVEL WET Quart-Size Pockets Burdened With Booxe One Party Has Trunkful Chicago, Jan. 1. (By A. P.) Chi cago's husky young new year, nursed last night on hip-pocket bottles, showed no signs of being as dry ns Congress and the Supreme Court had forecast. Hip-pocket flasks were fashionable, but thirstier ones transported their se lect privnte stocks to downtown eating places in suitcases, bankets, golf bags ond In one case even a trunk was used. Police threats of enforcement of the drastic search law failed of eiecutlon. Glum-faced detectives, assigned to watch the downtown cafes, stood idly by and with envious eye watchfd the con traband liquor disappear. On the streets the merry revelers were ns nu merous as ever in the early evening. Armed with horns, whistles, gay caps and confetti they prepared to greet the new year, but a driving snowstorm and rapidly falling mercury soon drove tje majority to cover. END HERE TODAY JANUARY 1, 1920 '45' Ail POLIO! JAZZ WAY INT0 1920 Orchestra Had to Bo Paid, So Social Barriors of Doylos- town Aro Lowered ANOTHER FLY IN OINTMENT Doylestown's "forty-five," all forty seven of them, jazzed their vray into the New Year nt the Doylcstown Coun try Club, while the Her. C. W. Haines, their verbal chastlscr, conducted watch night services in his First Baptist Church. In addition to the innermost "forty five" there were possibly fifty other guests at the bal masque, the high social event of the year nt the club. The additional persons were necessary evils tolerated because of the vulgar fact that orchestras, especially Philadelphia or chestras, where this one come from, will not work for nothing, A nice man's size fly has alighted in the midst of the Doylestown social ointment. The invitations for the As sembly Boll, one of the biggest events of the Philadelphia social season, arc out and only one Doylestown person is In vited. Ho is George Boss, whose name ap pears on the list of the "forty five" selected by Leigh Mitchell Hodges as the elite of tho Bucks county town. Doylestown talks of nothing else ex cept the "Forty-five." Some harked back to three years ago, when Mr. Haines preached a scries of sermons, denouncing the exclusive card playing, dancing and golf-playing societies. Mr. nodges. known locally as the ".Master of Ootop," used his pen to do fend tho town. Then, two years ngo, when a ses sion of Baptist clergy of eastern Penn sylvania wns convened In the Doyles town church, the moderator, the Hev. Charles K. McClellan. pastor of tho Fuirhill Baptist Church in Philadelphia, invited Mr. Hodges to speak before the conference. Mr. Haines is said to have objected. Mr. McClellan told Mr. Haines he was moderator, and that any Instructions from Mr. Haines concern ing Mr. Hodges were unbecoming. There is much curiosity as to how the list of "Forty-five" first leaked out. The newspaper correspondent who had the list has desk space in the office of Arthur Kustburn, attorney, who wns not in the "Forty-five." Mr. Kastburn knew of the list before it was published in Philadelphia. So did Doylcstown newspapers. Popular opinion judged that there wns u "faux pas" in the list, becnuse in some cases nn entire family, as "the Jadltels," was named, and in other enscs only one member, as "Henry A. James."

JASTROW CHANGES VIEW Ride on Much-Belated Train Reverses Opinion en Government Ownership The experience of Professor Morris Jastrow, Jr., of tho University of Pep.iifc.vlvt.nin. in riding on trains ie crntly has caused him to reverse his riosltion on the question of goernment ownership of railroads. At the Amer ican Philological Association in Pitts burgh jestcrday he declared that "while he may have been an ardent advocate of government ownership of railroads, his experience bus caused him to look at the matter in another light." Professor Jnstrow was due to speak at the convention at au early hour last night. The train bearing him from Detroit was late and he was barely able to carry out his part of the program.
