Shaker Spangler Locks coors; Members Told to Be Quiet and Vote Failure of members of the House of Representatives to vote on bills, which has called forth reproof from the speaker repeatedly in the last [fortnight, led to the doors of the j chamber being ordered locked by Speaker Spatigler and a pool of the I House taken to ascertain presence lof a quorum. This was the first 1 time this drastic action has been •taken and the call showed that 152 j members were present. Prior to the •'call two rollcalls had developed less j than 104, a quorum voting. The action of the speaker was ap- I plauded vigorously by the members. The first evidence of failure to | vote came when less than 50 men 'voted on a school code bill. Mr. Cox, Philadelphia, who was presid ing. ordered a second rollcall, which 'resulted in 109 men voting for the | bill and 25 in the negative. A few j minutes later when Speaker Spang ;ler returned to the chair only 52 ( were recorded on a bill. The ' speaker then ordered a pool and j when he found 152 present said: "The chair must insist on quiet while the roll is being called and that members vote. We must have quiet such as will promote and not ob ' struct the businoss of this House." The speaker read the rules and said that members in the rear seats had complained of noise caused by conversations and were unable to keep track of proceedings. When the next roll was taken every mem ber voted. IX THE VERNACULAR "I hear you are learning some of the new dance steps from a jazz professor." "I blush to confess it," said Mr. Gadspur.

Dr. Child. ; a Bryn Mawr graduate, was a mem -1 ;ber of one of the first medical units * sent to France by the American Red | Cross, where she carried on a re -3 markable work among the refugee 1 children. She spoke of the new ' lines of work undertaken in this city and made a plea for the active co operation of the College Club, of which the first response was made in the business meeting when the club z voted to buy platform scales to be placed in the Public Library for the '• weighing of children in the gather ing of statistics in Dr. Childs' work.

Kipling's wolves and bears and storied characters came to life, and the great god Thor with his hammer walked the stage in this remarkable portrayal. Schutze is a born impersonator. With a few deft touches he jumped from the character of the mother wolf to the great god Thor, and pres to, he was telling a tale about the black kitty, so wonderful and so en thralling that the children gurgled in sheer delight. Strangely, there were but few chil dren in the audience. But there were plenty of grownups, who liked the stories too. for they savored of their younger days. And many of them wanted to escape from the perplexities and worries of a work aday world for a short hour or two, and be carried away with Steph ani Schutze on his voyages of ex ploration and discovery. Is a Rare Genius Those who heard the great story | teller last night marveled at his ; powers, but they marveled not at i the audiences who filled the Little Theater In New York and scores of other halls and public auditoriums !to hear him. For Schutze has a rare i genius about him, a faculty of being 1 able to live the character he is pre- I senting—and he lives it so realis tically that one forgets all else in the I intense pleasure of hearing, j The Harrisburg Story Tellers League is to be thanked for giving 'the people of this city an opportun ity of hearing Mr. Schutze. He is a story teller far above the rest of his craft, and those who missed hear ing him, most assuredly missed a de lightful evening. Mrs. Harry G. Keffer, president of the local branch, introduced the speaker.
