The hotels of the city have been overtaxed to accommodate the visiting delegations and thousands of the visitors have been housed in private residences, listed for occupation months in advance of the gathering by the Housing Committee of the Philadelphia Lodge. The international character of the and the importance of its deliberations in Philadelphia during the convention week was stressed by Norman Gladstone Heyd. of Toronto, Canada, supreme dicator of the Supreme Lodge of the World.

On the garlanded stage of the Academy of Music, festooned with American and British flags, spaced clusters of the red and white banners of the order, the welcoming officials were introduced by Secretary Davis. State and City Welcome The visitors were accorded the welcome of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by Lieutenant Governor Arthur H. James, who represented Governor Fisher. Charles H. Grakelow, Director of the Department of Public Welfare, greeted the delegates for Mayor Kendrick.

Senator-elect William S. Vare, a member of Philadelphia Lodge also saluted the visitors. who were assured of every courtesy by Harry W. Mace, dictator of the Philadelphia lodge, which has more than 000 members on its rolls and is the largest unit of Moose in the world. "The eyes of the Moose world are looking towards Philadelpbia." Supreme Dictator Heyd told his auditors.

"To the mines of South Wales, on the veldt of South Africa, in the gold fields of Northern Ontario, 1n fact wherever English-speaking people live, there men and women are today thinking of our deliberations here. "It is our obligation to consider deeply and to remember what we do here will affect lodges all over the world. Today, with twenty-one lodges in Great Britain alone, I know of no other fraternal order the sessions of which are more akin to those of an international brotherhood." The discourse of the Supreme tator was greeted with a burst of cheers. At its conclusion the delegation from England, numbering fourteen men and their families, led the singing of the British national anthem. These delegates and particularly the unit from Wales, which is the birthplace of Secretary Davis, is making the strongest bid for the convention next year, Order Has Penn's Ideals Commendation of the work of the order in advancing the intellectual and industrial education of its children was included in the address of Lieutenant Governor James.

"One of your plans is that every boy and girl is entitled to a high school education and a trade," the Lieutenant Governor said. "That was the ideal of William Penn and so today in Pennsylvania we have a public school system and trade schools which are not equaled by any other State in the country. "At Mooseheart, the home of the order in Illinois, you are giving an education to boys and girls which is not along classic lines only, but which will be of practical use in days to come. Therefore, it is particularly fitting that the State of Pennsylvania welcome your order at this A feature of the session of the men in the Academy of Music was the 1111- looked-for donation of $2500 to the Mooseheart Home made by John C. Meikle, private secretary to Secretary Davis.

Mr. Meikle explained that he was orphaned at thirteen years and would have been forced to go to work in the coal breakers had a neighbor not sent him to Mooseheart where he was educated and graduated. During the afternoon the convention was officially opened by the Pilgrims' Degree, the honorary society of the order. This ceremonial, performed in the presence of Mr. Davis, is indicative of the days of the Pilgrims.

Women members of the families of the delegates spent the morning and early afternoon in the department stores of the city, Later they embarked in automobiles and motor buses for a trip through Fairmount Park and to historical places. The major portion of the Moose visitors witnessed the baseball game between the Phillies and Cardinals at Broad Street and Lehigh avenue.

The new educational and social service programme was arranged by Katherine Smith, Recorder after a three-month survey of the chapters of the Order throughout the United States, It was detailed during the session yesterday by Rodney H. Brandon, Grand Regent, was introduced by Mrs. James J. Davis, chairman of the meeting. The expansion salls for the alternating educational meetings with ritualistic meetings of individual chapters.

During the meeting, social service problems and other topics of community interest will be discussed by experts Either co-operate with the chapters service to the general public. Each chapter, under the plan will enlist the services of a prominent social worker who will attend the meetings as an officer and direct the welfare tivities of the members. In opening the discussions, Mr. Brandon reviewed the activities of women's auxiliary societies in general, asserting they have been "running in a rut" for nearly a century. Community Work for Women "We have the idea," said Mr.

Brandon, "that women's auxiliaries or fraternal societies have been running in rut for something like a hundred Fears. As these organizations have into being with the passing of the years they have, one one. adopted by the first one, with perhaps few variations. About all they have bad in mind was to carry out the routine their ritual and conduct their schemes of benevolence whatever they might be. have a vision of a woman's organization being an active service 80- ciety outside of its own membership.

We believe it would be a splendid thing for America for an organization of this kind -connected at it is with a great organization of mento offer its services to put humanity into the social service of the State, city and county and be a big sister to the widow who must accept widow's aid. thus taking the 'sting' out of it. We should give to children and to families the things they need outside of mere sustenance. "To that end we are suggesting a programme that should make the women a militant organization-each in its own community for the benefit of the community, not only along lines I have suggested, but in studying conditions in each city for the location of playgrounds, the quantity and the quality of their supervision, the distribution of branch libraries in earning communities or campaigns that will put nurses in the public schools. "In other words our women can bring to the attention of the public the things that are needed by wives and children of the wage earners of America.

"We are trying to create a virtual alliance between this women's organization of the wives of wage earners and the trained social service workers. We want our women and their bors to understand the function of the social service workers so that they may help them in their work. For that reason we are proposing to offer a seat in our meeting. ex officia, to the leading social worker in each community without asking her to pay dues. We hope to give these workers every bit of help that our women can muster and are recognizing them as officers of the lodge."
