An? of tho Jovlnn League at the
fUl Adelphla was shown today by bus
. In men and directors of fraternal or-
tranltattoni and police department dlrec
tors of athletics.
Increased confidence In early action to
Ward financing a stadium was felt fol
lowing the statement of George K.
Nltieclio, recorder of the University of
Pennsylvania, who said ho believed there
should be concerted action on the part
of the University authorities, the city
and tho Army and Navy Committee of
prominent business men.
With both tho University nnd the Army
and Navy Committee united In working
for tho construction of a irrcnt nmnlit-
theatre, quick results are assured, It Is
believed.
Prominent Navy oITlcers hinted todny
that support might bo looked for from
both the Army and Navy Athletic Coun
cils If tho difficulties betweon the two
academies were adjusted. In view of tho
adequate accommodations n great stadium
would affoTd. Officials for both councils
have agreed tho ability to provldo scats
for the teams' foltowlngs would put on
end to objections to plailns In Philadel

ings were In tho United States, tho out
look for national meets of the Amateur
Athletic Union nnd advantages a big stn
dltfm would hold out for gatherings of nil
kinds became Increasingly apparent with
the growing Interest In the stadium plans.
Sites for the proposed Btadlum have
been suggested In many quarters. The
Woodland Cemotery land at SGtli street
ana wooaiand avenue, suggested by Mr.
Nltzche, held the advantage of accessi
bility and natural topography that would
make building a stadium there compara
tively Inexpensive.
Penn men Interested In the stadium
project declared no site could be easier
to reach than the Woodland Cemetery.
It It were chosen tho stadium would be
built In a ravine which forms a natural
amphitheatre. The ravine has not yit
been made part of the cemetery proper
Grading for n field, placing seats In on
the sides nnd closing both ends of tho
ravine would be nil tho work needed,
according to engineers who have viewed
the site. It Is said, however, that there
may be some difficulty in securing the
land.
Transit facilities would be one of the
most Important arguments for the Wood
land avenue site, according to those who
favor It. The subway-elevated rutin with.

street cars serve It. and the Pennsylvania,

WOMEN DEFEND
THEIR STATUS IN
BUSINESS WORLD
Reply to Barclay J. Doyle'
Siatrmni Tl-inr TriPV Ar
Jiaiemem 1 Iiai 1 ney -re
Not as Useful as Men in
the Selling of Goods.
Salesgirls, saleswomen, suffragists are
rallying todny to tho defense of their sex,
which was severely criticized by Barclay
J. Doyle, of the Kcj stone Publishing
Company, In his apeech yesterday at the
weekly meeting of the Walnut Street
Business Association, at the St James
Mr. Dolc told his nudlence that the
wise merchant omplocd men, that
women were nntagunlzcd by salespeople
of their own Bex, nnd that men In gen
eral did not care to deal with women
"Employ salesmen nnd not sales
women," was his advice in a nutshell.
More than 50 per cent of the sales made
In Philadelphia stores, he said wcro made
by tho customers themselves, they pick
out what they want nnd the clerk makes
out the sales slip
"Well," said Miss Nellie MeyerB, from
behind the ruspender counter at a promi
nent department ttorc, where she Is em
ployed, "I have woVkod here 11 years, and
this Is the first time I ever heard that cus
tomers make the purchases themselves.
Most of the customers at this store are
women, and we frequently help them de
ride what they want. I have worked at
drcssmuklng and I know vou havo nearly
to muke a dress for a woman beforo she
will make up her mind."
Miss Dolc, head of the shirtwaist de
partment, who said she was no relation
to Barclay J. Doyle, explained, neverthe
less, that she could recommend him any
number of good saleswomen. "Women
make Just as good salespeople as men,"
she said, "and In many cases they are
better and more suited for the business "
"Saleswomen may be indifferent at
times," said Mrs Oeorge A Plersol, chair
man of the Woman Suffrage Party County
Committee, "but don't jou think sales
men uro Just as much so? If girls lack
Interest In their work. It Is often be
cause they are not properly fed nnd prop
erly paid. To work Intelligently at least
substantial food Is required. Ralso wo
men's wages and you have the solution
of the problem.
"As for employing men Instead of
women. It Is all very well for some oc
cupations. Women can t sell Ice and de
liver It, but, on the other hand, for
woman's wearing apparel saleswomen as
you know are not only a necessity, but
a great help. I know any number of
good saleswomen."
Miss Florence E. Pelrce, secretary of
the Consumers' League of Eastern Penn
sylvania, Is an ardent advocate of the
saleswoman..
"Women know what other women
want," she said, "and, In most cases,
women have excellent taste. A sales
woman's advice Is of the greatest as
sistance. "There are more than 200,000 women em
ployed In this city and 10,000 of them are
saleswomen. The comparison with the
number of men emploved la not dis
paraging. Women are being employed
more than ever before, and the Idea that
men can be employed In their places Is,
I think, ridiculous."
WOMAN SUICIDE SPARED BABY
"Poison Tasted Too Badly," Mother's
Dying Statement.
"The poison tasted so badly that I did
not have the heart to administer It to
my baby." This was the dying statement
made by Mra. Emma Ferguson, 23 years
old, 2412 Ormen street, who committed
suicide jesterday,
Mra. Ferguson was despondent because
of the long absence of her husband, James
Ferguson, who Is a sailor on the battle
ship New Hampshire. She was found
dying In her bed by her father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Moon. De
slde her lay her Infant son. Elbert, li

The Power
of
Personality
When Napoleon returned
from Elba in his Little Cor
poral's uniform, he walked
out in front of the legions
sent to seize him, but, before
he said a word, they cried,
"COMMAND US!" and
threw down their arms.
The other day a Perry
customer of many years'
standing told us that he and
a friend were discussing
clothes. He told his friend
that he always bought his
clothes at Perry's.
Whereupon his friend re
plied: "You know I always
wanted to ask you where you
got them, youalways look so
well dressed!"
