EVIDENTLY ROBBED HIM OF NAME, TOO Police Authorities Have Queer Individual on Their Hands. The police are on the lookout fur an alleged bandit, who according to the story told by his victim, asked him for the loan of a dollar on Third St. between Hamilton and Walnut, evening about eight o'clock, and while the liberally inclined patron was In the act of transfering the coin, a revolver was shoved under his nose and 840 was then taken.

According to the description given, the holdup man wore a red sweater and a checkered cap. A partv answering this description was brought into police headquarters yesterday afternoon, but when the unforunate vh tlm was called, he failed to identify the suspect as the robber. The individual claiming to be minus tho forty dollars refuses to divulge his name on the grounds that he does not seek publicity or notoriety. He likewise tells the officials conflicting stories of his encounter with the whom he met earlier in the afternoon at a saloon where they both had several drinks. When requested to give his name for the sake of record and good faith, he insisted on remain ing nameless like the mysterious man in the melodrama, but was willing enough to say that he hailed from Pottsvllle.

He soon became dlssttls fied with his residence, then charged it, and now claims that he comes from a far better place, namely: Wilkes- Barre. The entire story is scouted bv, the police otllcials, who believe it cut from the fabric that pipe dreams are made if. iBut the victim thinks not tiiusly. He insists that he was held up and is so pefslsient in his assertion that he threatened to bring down the gallant cops of Wilkes-Barre, headed possibly by that doughty detective of vaude ville fame, Butch McDevItt, to track the highwayman to his lair. Still the victim refuses to divulge his Identity- He may be an alderman, a country doctor, a track walker, a millionaire in disguise or a motion picture actor.

It is posible that he is afflicted with sud- len loss of memory and is unable to recall his name. ALL PLAYERS LIKE HITS, BELIEVE US They say that Bill Keeler never thought about his hits, but I don't believe it," said Ed Konetchy, the Pir ate first baseman, during a discussion of the Pirate slump this year. "Keel er must have been human like the rest of us," went on "and any ball player who doesn't admit that he dearly loves to feel the safe ones ringing off his bat Is only trying to kid himself. 'I haven been hitting for a long time, but I have tried everything to get iback in my stride. I have steppeii this way and that, but when they're go ng against you It is no use." Hans Wagner, who had the worst slump of his career, agrees with Konetchy.

Believe me, I love the old base hit, and I don't make any bones about It," said Honus. "When a player isn't hitting them safe and is what the reporters call slumps he would give up his three meals for a hit. I have seen times when I would give almost anything just to be able to get a couple safe for my own satis faction. Every batsman reckons his base hits. I don't mean that he figures up his averages, but he does get satisfaction and joy out of gettinar the hits." SENATOR PENROSE WILL BE HERE OCT.

Eisenberg The opportunities afforded the children of the county llgured yesterday in the program of tho Lehigh county teachers' institute. In session this week at the court house. Dr. Llben-berg, superintendent of the Chester schools, favors the country as fur thu early environment of children. "The country child has the power to develop sense perception to un extent never given to a city child," he suld.

"The country children can acquire health of body and mind." Dr. Armstrong and Miss Schrieber were among the speakers in tne morning session and Dr. Arthur W. Evanx delivered a notable address in tne alternuon on the "Lord of the Land," in which he extolled tho demucracy of tnis country In contrast with the aristocratic torm of government with in dependence on the common people. xno institute opened with the hymn, Worship the King." The devotional exercises were con ducted by Rev.

James F. Lambert, of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Catasauqua. Dr. Eisenberg spoke on "The od- portunity of the Country Child." We live In a time when a President call ed together representative men and women to discuss rural Mfe.

Most of the economic and social unreal has to do with rural life. The rural school teacher Is partly responsible lor this influx of tho country boy Into tho city. If the teacher of to-day is able to implant Into the boy una girl tho Idea that the greatest opportunity rests on the farm than be or she will have remedied to a great extent the false impressions. The opportunity to the country child is: First to acquire sumetbing; second, to give something. The greatest asset that country children can acquire is health of body and mind.

The country child has the power to develop sense perception to an extent never given to a city child. The rural child has an opportunity to develop an individual development. The rural child has the habit of Industry which the city child under present conditions can never acquire. This rural life among its manifold activities in early life, gives responsibilities that increase our development. The opportunity of the rural boy is to-day an education that is free from the distractions of city life.

The opportunity of the rural child is often noticed In its transformation of the home. Teachers and parents should work together to keep children on the farm instead of driving them off. Dr. Armstrong talked on "How to Teach a If poems are presented in the right way almost all children will be interested. The boys and girls will love a poem more if they know something about the author.

Tho second important thing about the poem is the title. The material part of the poem should be learned as well as the form, namely the feet, lines and stanzas. Dr. Armstrong used as an illustration Longffellow's "Excelsior." Words and phrases in a poem should be explained. The speaker clos ed his talk with an interpretation the story, "The Bird of Truth."

It was moved and seconded that Lloyd Leeds be paid $13 for tho pictures taken on the various grounds. Mr. Wheeler reported for the garden farming committee.

He said he had looked up several plots and found thoHO most acceptable located below tho old dam. near the water works, also about two acres above the pumping station. He also said that bill would go before city councils to try and secure playgrounds on the Jack-ion, Washington, Stevens and Jefferson school grounds. Mr. Gallagher then made his address aylng in part: "I have never heard of any association in Allentown that has made such rapid and successful strides as the playgrounds Association.

The work of the members has not only benefitted those who visited the grounds and took pleasure in the recreations afforded, but the community has been benefitted a great deal and will continue to do so in years to come. "The grounds In themselves are a pleasure to look at and the children at play will instill in the hearts of every nan and woman love for the children ind pride in their town. The children lave neen tne gainers as me work they do on the grounds teaches them to be self reliant fair and hon est. It has been productive of goo anguage and clean thoughts and no nee has It come to my attention of Any vulgar or indecent language being used on the different grounds I vlsitea "Allentown is not the only city to have playgrounds; it is a national movement, and if all cities are bene fitted as is our town, what can we ex pect in the future, when every town of importance will have playgrounds to take care of the children. "Romper day proved the great work hat has been accomplished and if was anyone who was opposed the playgrounds before this even and could not see the benefit derived, ib is in a class of the most extreme pessimists.

"The greatest work accomplished; was the benefit to mothers through the baby clinic. J-iittle idea can be gained of the magnitude of good derived from this weekly institute, showing mothers how to tnke care of their little ones, treating the ills so prevalent among babies and describing treatment in ailments on a larger scale. The clin ics in Allentown ware an Inspiration to help unfortunate mothers in taking care of those who will be the men and women of tomorrow." Mr. Gallagher told of the great ben ptits to be had through a municipal nurse, who, after a clinic, would see that the child was taken care of dur ing the week.

PHEQBE DEACONESS OLD FOLKS HOME NEWS The tenth anniversary of the Ladies Auxiliary and tho formal opening of the Phoebe Home was celebrated last Thursday, the program beginning at 2 o'clock. The writer, at the request of the president of the Lidles' Auxiliary, Mrs. David Kratz, presided over the meeting. A carefully prepared program was fallowed. It oonslstel of devotional services and of reports from the various department of our work.

Rev. A. B. Koplin, 1). of Heilertown, president of the board of trustees, made his annual statement in which he reviewed the work of the board during the past year.

This was a general review covering, In a sense, every department of the work. Dr. Koplin's report was received with pleasure and great satisfaction. Dr. KoDlln has been the president of tne board of trustees from the beginning of the instiution.

After the president report the various chapters, thirteen in number, were called upon to make reports of the work that they accomplished dur ing the last twelve months telling us also how they did their work from time to time. A few of the societies were unavoidably not represented. For this we all felt profound sorrow Those, however, who were present, made splendid Teports 'and gave evi dence of the fact that our chapters are wide awake. The management of the Home keen ly feel that there Is a great responsi bllity resting upon the church. The Home Is rapidly filling up is almost full of residents, and now It means taking good care of your family and this will have to ibe done year in and year out.

There is a certain expense which will be steady and which cannot be avoided. It is highly necessary that the church as a should bear this in mind and should prove to the management from time to time they they are not only praying for the home but that they are also opening their hearts and purses in order to help maintain the work as it ought to The presidng officer suggested to the splendid assemblage of faithful and interested workers that they should bear in mind three first, that we are anxious to have more corporation memberships, which means members that will pay $10 for membership and $5 annually thereafter; second, that both the parent axuillary and all her chapters should try to secure more auxiliary members, which means $1 a year. All of the aforenamed monies will be devoted to the general maintenance of the Home; third, that our various chapters should keep their eyes open to the great need of young women to take the deaconess course. The ladies of our chapters come in contact with young women as no pastor does and they are in a position to encourage young women to take up this most noble work. One new chapter wss organized during the year: Chapter No.

13, of Alburtis, a. This chapter Just reeemly organized, sent a favorable report through their pastor, Rev. Frank La-ros. We have every reason to believe that this new chapter will do a good work and will bring a commendable report to our next anniversary. Rev.

iKrank Laros offered a prayer and Rev. E. E. Schoedlcr, D. closed with the benediction.

The proceeds for the day were $275.00. Thus far no one has volunteered yet to build the $1600 for our gardener. There have been sugges tions and inquiries but we have as yet no assurances from any one that this Home will be built by an indi vidual or by a church. The Eastern Synod meeting within our bounds next week we trust that every member will take time to either walk or take a trolley ride to 1923 Turner to see our beautiful Home order that they may go back to their respective home and tell their friends and congregations what th Phoebe Deaconess and Old Folks' Home at Allentown really is. We can describe it year after year on aper and we can tell the story from the pulpit but there is nothing that will leave a more vivid impression upon the mind than that of seeing it.
