CHARITIES ASK
$7,000,000
Huge Sum Carried by Bills
For Those Not Under Con- |
trol of the Commonwealth j
Appropriations asked by hospitals, ;
homes and similar institutions not
under States control will aggregate
close to $7,000,000, judging from the
appropriation bills already in hand.
State and semi-State institutions will
run considerably higher owing to
the requirements for new buildings,
including the two new State insane ,
hospitals and the homo for inebri- '
ates and drug victims. j
Chairmen of the legislative ap
propriations committees discovered**
these facts when they began their
chcck-up of the bills in hand last
night. Comparison with the appro
priation list of 1917 showed that,
it number of bills had not yet come j
in. The State Board of Public i
Charities recommended $6,539,416
for non-State hospitals, a reduction !
Of over $8,000,000 of what was ask- '
ed for maintenance and refused all !
requests for building appropriations '
which amounted to $2,429,800; '
recommending also $1,360,686.20 for!
homes, etc. and $1 50, 200 for sani- i
torta. The policy of the appropria- I
tions committees will be' to refuse |
all building requests.
Details of the general appropria- !
tion bill will be taken tip this week
with State officials by Chairman \V. |
J. MeCaig, of the House committee, j
who is working with Chairman A. !
F. Daix. Jr., of the Senate commit-j
tee. Some cuts in departmental ap- :
propriations tire a certainty.
Chairman K. E. Jones, of the Sen- 1
ate committee on agriculture, will j
ask for speedy action on the bill to !
reorganize the Department of Agri- \
culture, which lie will introduce to- j
night. Secretary Frederik Rasmus
sen will meet Chairman MeCaig dur- I
ing the week to discuss the items
in his budget which is the largest
drawn up for the department and is '
designed to cover the increased ac
tivities.
The bill to make Workmen's
Compensation a separate depart
ment from the Labor and Industry
Department is due to appear this j
week, together with some bills for |
changes in administration.
The bills urged by the miners for I
changes in the rate of compensn- I
tion and other features of the com- j
pensation law will probably follow
the board's bills. As yet no agree- j
ment "upon the points made by the!
members of the district boards at
their meeting with the Governor
and Attorney General has been an
nounced.
Members of the House are being
canvassed very thoroughly by men
who want the Brady primary anil
registration bills sent back to com
mittee and by those who want tlieni
to stay on the calendar. The bills
were ordered reported out Wednes
day after a stormy meeting of the
elections committee and the Vare
men want them sent back on the
.-entrance that all they want is a ,
"earing. The Brady bills will be on j
tirst reading this evening and the
tight to recommit will start as soon
as they pass that stage. It is said j
to be the scheme of the Vare men |
to have them held up until action is |
had on the measures to take police- I
men and firemen out of politics, |
sponsored by John R. K. Scott.
There is little doubt that Gov- j
rrnor William C. Sproul can get all |
'lie support he wants in the Legisla- I
Hire for any measure he may desire '
o effectively investigate the cause
for the proposed advance in the j
pr.ee of domestic sizes of anthra- '
■ ite. Members returning to the city I
declared that they had found the I
Governor's move a popular one and i
that they were only waiting to hear,
what the Attorney General recom- '
mended.
The death of Dr. Nathan G. '
Schaoffer. State Superintendent of j
Public Instruction, will ho followed
by some radical legislation affecting j
education, it is believed. The super- j
intendent's death will temporarily I
stop the proposed inquiry, hut the j
Plans for a general overhauling of 1
the whole educational system are "
being matured.
Tiie bill for the survey of water j
resources now on second reading in
the House will likely go to the ap
propriations committee. It carries
'200.900 and was reported out by
the forestry committee, which also
reported out the forestry depart
ment reorganizer.

in Paris, to consider plans for the or

to the G. A. R.
"At this preliminary meeting." he
continued, "steps were taken to hold in
Paris the meeting now going on. at
which a program will be formulated
to be submitted later in America to a
meeting of a thoroughly representative
body of officers and men.
"Representatives' of the meeting
which is being held in Paris will

THE BARRYMORE-COLTS "RECEIVE"
The Visiting List of Ethel Barrymore's Three Children Is Most

22. in R. C. Carton's charming comedy.
"The Of.' Chance," as "the greatest
I actress among American mothers and
the greatest mother among American
actresses." For the description, so
r.icely put, fits Miss Barrymore "ad
mirably.
The three beautiful children of the
actress are now robust youngsters,
and whenever possible Miss Barry
more has them accompany her on iter
J road tours. Of course, this is only
possible M'hije Miss Barrymore is in
I tltt- east and not tr.o far away front
I New Y'otk, since Sammy, tlte oldest
of the trio, is already a most studious
pupil under a New Y'ork tutor, and
I lit lie Miss Ethel Barrymore Colt, the
j second of the three little ones, already
has displayed her mother's aptituue
and talent for music, and in addition
to iter regular kindergarten studies,
she is an earnest student of the piano.
Of course, little John Drew, the baby
of tlte t'olt children, is a bit too young
for study and, as well, too young for
much traveling.
Just before their mother left New
York for her engagement here, the
Barrymore little ones Were hosts at a
paity. Miss Barrymore had alloM'od
them free rein as to their choice of
guests, and Bamttel Potneroy, being
the oldest, was entrusted n-ith the
drawing-up of the visiting list. Just
how wonderful this document was, did
not come to light until the afterncon
of the "reception." .The young scion

with every sign of approval with
John Drew Colt's pretty young nurse.
