BIG OYSTER OUTPUT
LOWERS LIVING COSTS
Prospects Favor Record-Breaking
Season Say the Dealers,
The oyster output for the season Is to
bo a record-breaker, according to Phila
delphia wholesale dealers, This Is a food
which will not be affected by war prices
so Philadelphia housewives may tako
comfort In the fact that there Is to be a
substitute for meats If tho prices con
tinue to soar, a nourishing substitute at
moderate cost.
Edgar T. Hill, one of the larger Phila
delphia wholesale dealers, stated today
that never In his experience had the re
ports from tho oysterbeds been so en
couraging. Maurice River mediums and
large are plentiful nnd of flno flavor,
whllo reports from tho Chlucnteaguo
Island beds In Virginia, which furnish
utmost 50 per cent, of tho Philadelphia
supply from November until April, show
that tho output from that sourco may
exeved that of previous ears by from
10,000 to 15.000 barrels.

FEW CANARIES COME NOW
SINCE THE WAR STARTED
Shipments From Germany Cease and
the Prices Arc Mounting.
Gome thlnss the Ocrmnti made beforo their
trade was halted by the war
We do not And It difficult to manufacture
here:
But when wo set tho fateful word that bars
tho Deutsch canary bird
From Import to the U. S. A., It make- the
proipect drear.
None would object but nrltons If this warfare
should deparrow u: . ,
But loBlnK the canary bird Is surely bound tc
harrow us.
The European war has cut off the sup
ply of cannry birds. The birds come from
the Ilnrtz nnd St. Andrewsbcrgor Moun
tains In the heart of the war country.
The hlrds are extremely scarce In Phila
delphia. -
The regular Importation of the "golden
throated songsters," as they are termed
In the cntalogueii, ceased with the start
of the war. It is reported that a large
nhlpv nt has been finally stnrted to this
city n om Holland, whence It had been
sent overland from Germany, but there
Is no hope of being able, the dealers
say, to satisfy the demand which is al
ways greatest at this time of year and
during the holiday season.
One fancier said todav that In other
years he hns had from 4C0 to BOO birds In
stock, but that now he has less than 100.
"I enn't get any more anywhere at any
rrloe," he said. "Of the one shipment
that has gotten through I was able to
procure four dozen. What will happen to
tho Christmas trade when ordinarily I
sell 700 birds T do not know. In conse
quence. Instead of being able to offer the
cheapest birds ns low ns $1.75, the mini

Bird seed, cuttlefish and othor bird
foods, nil of which are Imported, have
Jumped greatly In price. A few months
ago a pound of bird seed sold wholesale
for J4 cents. The quotation today Is 114
i:ents.
CHURCHMEN TOLD TO FIGHT

this autumn who will vote for no-llcenso
at the opening session of tho 115th an
nual meeting of the Pennsylvania Con

houser of Ilnrrlsburg, Vo., who told how

tlo In his State that resulted In Its vot
ing "dry1' last week. He declared Penn
sylvania must expect a fight just as big,
and stnted he was confident that the
United Brethren ministers would be found
in the front ranks when the batlo was on.
The meeting last night was preliminary
to the formal opening of tho conference
this morning, when Bishop W. M. Week
Icy, of Pnrltersburg, W. Va., presided.

ENEMIES BLAMED FOR FIRE
Mnn Certain They Set Fire to His
Stable.
Enemies, whom Joseph Cclmer de
clares want to ruin him, are thought to
have set fire to his stable at 3605 Salmon
street early today. The loss was more
than $600.
Tho blaze was discovered by Raymond
Butz, 3607 Salmon Btreet, who hastily
donned some clothing and brake open
the stable door In time to lead a horse
to safety. Several wagons belonging to
Celmer were destroyed. The stable was
a one-story frame structure.
According to Celmer. persons who wish
tn ruin his business set fire to tho place.

but ho Is posltlvo his stable could not
have burned unless some one set tire to
It. He has not yet complained to the
police.

JEWSDELEBRATE
DAY OF ATONEMENT
THEWORLDOYER
Religious Holy Day Noted
on European Battlefields as
Well as Mn the Local
Synagogues.
This Is "Yom Klppur," the Day of
Atonement, also 'Tom, Hadln," tho Day
of Judgment. Hebrews, scattered In their
exile throughout tho world, today lay
aside all their work and devote them
selves to fasting and prayer, facing their
God and pleading for another year of
life and happiness. Even on the blood
stained battlefields of Europe the 400,000
Jewish soldiers engaged In the various
armies of the belligerent countries will
lay aside their weapons, by special per
mission of their commanders, and be
neath the open sky, before hastily con
structed altars of wood and stone, will
offer prayer.
The observance of Tom Klppur began
last night with the singing and prayer
of Kol Nldro In all synagogues. Upon
their return to the placeB of wrorshlp this
morning the worshipers will remain
there during the entire day, leaving only
for a brief respite at noon. In tho Or
thodox synagogues many of thu wor
shipers will remove their shoes as an
expreFSlon of the thought that on this
holy day no man may enter God's house
rough shod.
Fasting Is observed as an expression
of self-denial and to aid tho worshipers
In fixing their thoughts upon things
spiritual. The fast will be concluded at
sundown, after the prayer of Nehllah,
followed by the blasts of tho "schofar"
from tho altar, which will announce of
ficially the close of tho day of atone
ment. The "schofar" or horn Is blown
accompanied by the prayers of tho con
gregation. Soon after It resounds, the
spirit of supplication and mediation
vanishes nnd Is superseded by rejoicing
and congratulations In the confidence
that God will undoubtedly grant the
prayers of His children.
There were no sermons preached In any
of the Orthodox synagogues, this not fac
ing the cusiom, there. At Kencseth
Israel, Rodath" Shalom and Adnth
Jeshurun, reform sormons were preached
by Rabbi Krauskopf, Rabbi Bcrkowltz
and Rabbi Klein, respectively. At tho
Beth El Synagogue, Rabb! Samuel
Friedman officiated. At the Beth Israel
Synagogue, Rabbi Marvin Nathan preach

the servlco was conducted by Rabbi Levi
H. Elmalch.

PENROSE IGNORED
BY THE REPUBLICANS
OF CHESTER COUNTY
Only Enthusiasm at Commit
tee Meeting Evoked by
Mention of Brumbaugh and
Announcement of Intended
Visit.
WEST CHESTEn, Sept. 30.-Senator
Penrose cannot but feel that something:
has gone wrong when he learns that the
county Hcpubllcan Executive Commit
tee, nt Its meeting here yesterday, for
got to adopt resolutions In behalf of his
candldncy nnd proclaim tho great service
he hns performed for tho nation, ns hns
always been the custom of the commit
tee when' In session In the past.
When one of the committeemen hinted
sotto olco that a resolution be adopted
pledging the Senator tho support of Ches
ter County Hepubllcnns, he was quietly
told that thero would be no resolution
offered.
In the meeting room there Is a large
portrait of Doctor Brumbaugh, and also
one of Mr. Penrose. At the closo of the
proceedings, a largo group took a stand
before the former's portrait and said nlco
things of him, telling each other what
they meant to do on November 3, In see
ing that the Doctor got tho full votes
of their respective precincts. Tho
portrait of Penrose was unnoticed.
Larry Eyre, always head and front of
meetings of the County Committee, was
present, nnd In a few words, fewer than
he lias ever known to utter on such oc
casions before, pointed to the great vic
tory In store for the G. O. P. and urged
every member to activity from now until
the election. There was some applause
on his rallying note, but It wasn't of tho
whole-souled order that was once heard
tn the committee, when Mr. Eyre called
tho faithful to the party colors.
The meeting was dccldedy 6hort In en
thusiasm, aside from a warm feeling for
Doctor Brumbaugh. Chairman Fred Mac
Donald announced that Doctor Brum
baugh would come Into the county bc
tw en now and the close of the cam
paign and he would speak at several
places, and this announcement wns met
with real applause.
