Who Wouldn't Pay Twenty Dollars For
an Overcoat That Any Custom-Tailor
Would Be Proud to Claim As His Own
IF you'll just fold up those two ten
dollar bills you've laid away for a coat
and bring them to us, you can choose
a wonderful GLOBE style—a real style.
A style guaranteed to serve you perfectly
—and one which will give you more dress
distinction than you've ever had. Don't
pay less than twenty for any overcoat, and
when you do pay twenty come to us.

I PLATE SPEEDS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
! Knowledge of comparative plate

are rated in various ways, one of the
j most common and satisfactory being
by a series of numbers invented by
Hurter and Driffield of England, and
known as the H. & D. numbers. Thus
Eastman and Ansco films are said to
have a speed of H. & D. 250, while
Cramer Medium Isochromatic plates
are listed at H. & D. 150. Under
another system the same films are
rated at 384 and the slower plates at

TEACH FOREIGNERS
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Methodist Church Pastor Organ
izes School For Benefit
of Foreign Born
REV. J. H. ROYER
A new force for the development of
a more desirable citizenship from the
big foreign population here has been
started. It is the newly-organized
"foreign" school, conducted by the
First Methodist Church, of Steelton.
At the head of the new school, which
is expected to do great things towards
the improvement of the conditions of
the foreign-born residents of Steelton,
is the Rev. J. H. Royer. Although pas
tor of the First Methodist Church only
a few months, the Rev. Mr. Koyer has
already become cognizant of one of the
greatest impediments to good citizen
ship among the foreign-born citizens of
the borough—their inabality to speak,
or properly understand the English
language.
Finding that there are nearly 4,000
men, women and children of foreign
birth in Steelton, of which a large ma
jority are unable to speak English, the
Rev. Mr. Royer began to study various
methods possible to change these con
ditions. He decided upon the plan
adopted by the Young Men's Christian
Association, and used extensively
among foreigners in the coal regions.
Anpeallng for and to the Rev. Dr.
William Q. Bennett, of Pottsville, su
perintendent of the Anthracite Mission,
Dr. Royer '>egan to organize his school.
Dr. Bennett has a wide experience in
organizing mission study classes as
these foreign schools.
Foreigners linger to l.enrn
Circulars were written in the Italian,
German, Hungarian and Croatian
languages and distributed throughout
the foreign section. These circulars
explained the plan and invited the for
eigners to visit the First Methodist
Church. Monday evening, November 9.
When Monday evening came there
were thirty-eight foreigners assembled
In the social room of the church With
the assistance of Dr. Bennett and mem
bers of the Epworth League, the Rev.
Mr. . Royer outlined the course of
studies.
There will be ten lessons In elemen
tary, English. After this those pupils
who are so fitted will be given addi
tional lessons in English grammar.
The second class was held last Mon
day evening. So delighted were the
students of the week before with their
progress, that the class was Increased
through their efforts to fifty-two mem
bers. This number was divided as fol

Middletown Car Company
Gets Adverse Decision
In denying the application of the
Middletown Car Company for a "fabri
cation in transit" rate, the Interstate
Cr merce Commission, at Washington,
D. C., yesterday, rendered a decision af
fecting virtually every steel plant.
Railroads serving stoel companies will
also be affected by the ruling of the
commission. The Middletown plant Is
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and is
26u miles east of Pittsburgh.
The car company in its application to
the commission, pointed out that the
rate on the steel underframes of cars
shipped to it from Pittsburgh was 15
cents a hundred pounds. Then the rate
on the frames after the work upon
them by the car company, ot Curtis
Bay, Baltimore, was 9 cents a hundred
more, making the total 24 cents, while
the through rate from Pittsburgh to
Curtis Bay was only 14% cents.
The commission held that the com
pany. should it so desire, could make
the frames at Its own plant, and, there
fore, was not put at a disadvantage by
having to bring the frames from Pitts
burgh, and then reship them, after
working upon them, to Baltimore.
Inspector's Nose Broken. Jacob
Hoak, 1343 Vernon street, car inspec
