Plans Completed for an Interesting En

Evening by Members of Epworth

aud Mrs. Carl Heefner. the director of
the church choir, will have some mu
sical features under her direction.'
Then, there will be a series of two-min
ute addresses of welcome by various
officials of the church—and the two
minute feature of these addresses will
be strongly emphasized, just how the
attendants alone will know. Then will
follow the stunts, or "indoor sports."'
as they are more properly known, and .
these will contribute half an hour or
an hour of real enjoyment. During I
this period will be the time when folks
will have an excellent opportunity to
get real well acquainted with one an
other, and then will follow the cooling
"ft' period in the shape of Epworth ,
ljeague bricks J
Practically the whole number of!

(•resident in charge of the social, has a
few tickets yet in her possession, which
may be reserved by sending word to
that effect to her home. 210 South Fif- j

Mr. Cobb Discusses Suffrage
lrvin S. Cobb, the well knjwn writer
and war correspondent, while here yc
terday told why he hail come back from j
the European war a suffragist.
" For years," saad Mr. Cobb, "1 ha 1 !
always -a. 1 there was uo reasjn
why women should want the vote, but
if thev did want it. I did not see any
good rea-on why they shouldn't get it.,
As a result of my experiences in the Eu
ropean war zone, however, 1 have dis
covered abundant reason* why women
should have the vote.
' The biggest argument for suffrage.
I saw was d in in Southern France
where some men were trying to clean
out a hospital. Whenever 1 see a man
try to handle a broom I realize his lim
itations. But the women —well, they
were marvellous. They did all -ms of
unpleasant labor a j >ou t the hospital and
were so skilful and deft about it. From
pheasant women to the ladies of the
aristocracy—all helped.
"In the tinal analysis. the burden of
war always falls on the women. It is
thev who carry the cross and it is on'v
just that they "hould have seme voice
in the government which declares a war
in which they are the real sufferers.
"In maedevial times men believed
that all ;i .v. man was good for was to 1
bear children. so they shut their wom
en up in fortresses while they went off
to tight. Bat to-day we are learning
that women are of ether use in the
world asi-te from being mothers, an.l we
are also learning tlvat the average worn-'
an is just us intelligent as the average
man—possibly a little more so."
Asked if he thought whether wars
wouid cease if women were given uni
versal suffrage, Mr. Cobb smiled and
said:
"I believe that countries governed:;
by the ballot would be a little slower to
go ;n war if women had a vote."
In conclusion Mr. Cobb said:
"There are too many people in this 1
country voting now—and not enough.
There should be a literacy and pn>;er
tv test which should bar from the polls '
the unthinking an i ignorant and admit '

There are 7,000,000 persons iu Bel

if those people nrr to be saved from
starvation, 80,000 tons of foodstuffs
must be sent each month—(Re|>ort of

: Committee). He further said conditions j
j in the war-ridden country were inde-i
scribnble, and that food and clothing
sent from Philadelphia were carefully I
handled and gratefully received by the |
destitute people.
The intelligent theatre going public]

support the lo a! Operatic Society in its
elegant production of Gilbert i Sulli
van's comic Opera "Mikado" nnd at
the same time contribute toward the
most worthy cause of relieving the
i above described destitution. The pro
duction will be given Thursday and Fri
day, February 11 and 12, in the Ma
jestic theatre.
The revival of this perennially pop
ular and refreshing satirical opera can-
I not be too highly commended. It will he
j faithfully presented with a splendid
i cast end excellent chorus of sixty voices
and adequate orchestra. 'Uie good old
melodies will greet oneJ? tympanum

welcome friends. The concerted numbers
will be espr iallv veil sung by the un
usually efficient singers, which make up
an ensemble, it would be difficult to
j better.

Why You Should
Buy Diamonds Now
The situation in the Diamond
industry is without precedent.
The war has stopped mining.
11 is impossible to manufacture
or secure new stones for the
market, bnl the demand for
Diamonds keeps tt|>.
Cutters have a Ivanced prices
several times since lht war be
j gan. Fortunately w • were heav
ily stocked with both mounted
and loose stones, and as \et have
not had to increase our j.rices.
We offer you unusual values
and make it easy for you to
purchase Diamonds. Come in
and let us explain.
As the Diamond supply is
absolutely contr illed by one
group of men who are losing
money every day the mines are
closed, prices will continue to
advance even after peace comes.
The wise time to buy is now—
and your Diamond money buys

"GOD'S LOVE" IS THEME
OF EVANGELIST MILLER
Many Requests for Prayer Feature
Services at the Mechauicsburg Tab
ernacle Last Night—Thirty Per
sons Hit the Trail
l Mechauicsburg, Jan. '29. "Mv
son. ' "my neighbor," "my brother"
[ —os came the requests tor prayer,
1 dozens of them, from all over the tab-
I ernaele last night .just before Kvangel
. ist Miller began to preach on -'Cod's
Love. One request was for ''a fa
ther. two brothers and the Fifth Wheel
j boys." Then every CHristian bowed
j his head and praye for all these, with
I the evangelist leading. Then came the
j sermon on the text, "Thy love to me
| was wonderful," 2 Sum. 1:26. By one
; : illustration and figure after another the
; evangelist forced upon his congregation
the conviction of tile wonderful love
o» the pure God of love, who loved us
to the extent that He gave His only
begotten Son that we might not piflish,
| nliose love reaches to the uttermost.
| Before the sermon the great congre
' gat ion had seen "Simply to Thy Cross
il Cling" pictured, us in the darkness
1 j .i girl was seen clinging to the cross,
1 during the singing of " Rock of Ages"
|ln the choir. The cross hung suspeud
-1 ! ed in the rear of the platform through
! | out the service and over and over
' i again, as the evangelist told of the
' height and the depth and the length
and the breadth of the love of Christ.
' he turned to the cross. He told of
an explorer in the deep seas who took
> soundings again and again, each time
with a longer line, and each time re
-1 i corded "Deeper than this," and then
he pictured the awful depths of sin,
! quoting the lines:
I''To all depths ot sin and loss
■ Drops the plummet of Thy cross.
' ' Never yet abyss was found
Deeper than that cross could sound. '
j illaudkerc'hiets came into play as he
■ | told many a touehiug story of mother
i | love, and after each he told of the
' love of Him who will never forget,
though a mother may forget her child.
' Mr. Miller was more dramatic than in
1 any previous sermon in this place.
As he told of the Son of Cod staggering
and falling under the weight of the
' cross He bore for us, the evangelist
staggered across the platform, finally
' falling to the door, it was dramatic,
but no one thought of it as dramatic.
It oulv made more, intense the picture
' of the'love of .lesus. which the burning
words preceding had brought before the

Scran ton Jurist Makes Statement on
Lease of Coal Land
| Serawton, Jan. 29.—Judge H. iMj.
Edwards, speaking as a "private citi
zen, " took notice of public charges in
which it was stated that 'West Scran
ton property holders, among them the
Judge, had given permission to eoal
operators to mine the coal not only un
i der their properties, but also under half
lof Main avenue, abutting their prop
| erties. The statement was first made at
a Common Council meeting last Friday
by Director John G. Hayes, of Depart-
I ment of Public Works.
According to Judge Edwards, how
ever, "the law says that all abutting
owners own the subsoil to the centre of
the street, the city only retains a right
to the use of the surface."
He says the terms of his lease "do
not include a |>ound of coal under a
street, whether the coal company has
mined coal from the street and whether
1 have received royalty for the coal is
a matter not easy to determine."
'' The question of the right of the
lessee to mine coal to the centre of tho
street is also a matter which must, be
decided by Court upon proper evi
dence. ''
A delegation of menvbers of the West
Scranton Surface Protective Associa
tion yesterday called on Judge Edwards
for the purpose, it was announced, to
ask that in the future mine cave cases
be heard by an out-of-town Judge.
Judge Edwards has not figured in any
recent mine-cave cases.
