IS MEDICAL IDEAL
i ....
Di Victor C. Vaughan, Re
cipient of Honorary De-
' . gree, Tells 145 Jefferson
College Graduates to Be
f; Honorable.
W "The medical profession has for Its Ideal
M th absolute eradication of disease, The
p highest ambition of the medical man who
ft 'deserves the name Is to prevent disease
K by warning his patients and his friends
ft before It Is too late."
This message was given to the 145 Brnd.
' ,, of the Jefferson aieiucni college uy
t Dr Victor C. Vaughan, president of the
American Medical Associnuon aim ucnn
f the University of Michigan Medical
rviiieite at the OGth commencement of
fiie Jefferson Medical College In tho Acad
imv Of Music this afternoon. Doctor
Vauahan received the only honorary do
-ee given this year. Tho degree of Doc
?' - Tn, tvna conferred virion him bv
William Potter, president of the Board
of Trustees, on behalf of the college.
I"V Dean James V'. Holland presented Doo-
3' tor Vaughan lor me Honorary ucgrec.
"The medical procession nas cor its
Ideal tha eradication of disease," D.
Vaughan said. "Sixty thousand phy
sicians and tho American Medical Asso
ciation are trying to teach tho people of
this country how not to get sick. The
association spends fJG.COO annually to at.
tain this purposo ulono.V Already wo
have succeeded vondcrfully In this dlret-
Doctor Vauglffin presented figures to
how tho progress that has been made.
"If the death rate of tuberculosis of
1901 had continued since, then. 300.000 more
Invalids In the United Stntcs nlono would
have died from that disease," ho said.
Each year on averago of 20,000 have
been Baved. The death rate of typhoid
fever1 since 1880 has decreased 50 per cent.,
and other virulent disease proportion
ately. This country has the longest aver
age Of life and the smallest death rato of
any other nation in the world.
"Your duty," Bald Dr. Vaughnn, ad
dressing tho graduates, "Is to make some
contribution to medicine, no matter how
small. The United States has done much
In this way, and we havo nothing to bo
ashamed of. It matters llttlo If you are
not In a large city, for many of medi
cine's greatest discoveries hnve been
made In places far removed from tho
centres of population.
"Every doctor in tho United States has
a great duty to his country. No nation
can bo great that Is not healthy. Epi
demics havo undermined civilization nnd
disease has overthrown nations. Disease
today Is responsible for tile weakness of
certain nations."
Eighty of tho graduates are residents of.
Pennsylvania, while one Is a native of
Forto Rico. Almost every State In the
i Union was represented In the class of
1 1915.. The graduation exercises were held
i at the Academy of Music, nnd tho de
' pees conferred by William Potter, presi
dent of the Jenrcrson uospiiai ooara or
trustees.
CMDEnS FOR CRIPPLED HERO.
The graduates gave a loud cheer when
Dr. James W. Keath was whoelcd Into
the Acadomv. A year ago ho was taken
to Jefferson H( spltal with a brokon spine.
Despite this terrible Injury nnd other
bodily hurts, Keath recovered. For
months he had studied In his room In
the hospital. Several days ago ho suc
ceeded In passing the "exams."
"Hurrah for Jim Keath," shouted sev
en! of the i,'mdimteo when Keath put In
an appearance todny.
During the evxerclses Keath eat In a
hospital armchair, which was on the
stage. His wlfo nnd little boy wc,re
alongside of him. -
Philadelphia hospital's will receive 64 of
the graduates. They will become at
tached to 18 different Institutions. Thirty
eight dlctors will be connected with 24
different 'hospitals and Institutions in

IDA RIEHL UNLOCKS HER
LIPS AND IN HESITATING
VOICE GIVES HER STORY
Assured That Her Place of
Refuge Will Not Be Re
vealed, Girl Who Faces
Murder Charge Tells of
Love Tragedy.
Ida Rlchl has told the Evenincj
Ledoeix the story, In all Its distressing
details, of her acquaintance nnd relation
ship with Edward Hauptfuhrcr.
For tho first time since May 22, tho
night of the tragedy, when the llttlo
Kensington girl Bhot down the man who
refused to marry her and give her un
born child a' name, sho unlocked her lips.
Except for fragmentary utterances, no
narrative has heretofore como from Ida.
With pitiful simplicity she recounted
the events that culminated In an act
which. In tho eyes of the law, make her
a murderess, but which simultaneously
gained for her tho sympathy of nil who
read her story.
Under the promise that the name of
her guod angel nor the address of her
refuge would be revealed, the girl
gae her Btory to an Evemno LEDOF.n
representative. With choking voice nnd
tear-filled eyes, she told how she, an In
nocent little girl to whom all the dan
gers of tho world were a closed book,
met Ed Hauptfuhrcr, young, handsome,
well-dressed, with tho free use of hjs
father's 'automobile andplenty-of tnonoy
to spend.
Sho told how he sought her out and
how he, with whom almost any girl
could hnve becomo lnfactuated, singled
out her, a poor girl of unpretentious
origin and, flattering her with his atten
tions, made ardent love to her and then,
with the promises of marriage hot on
his lips, deceived and refused to marry
her.
Out in a nearby suburb ot the city
Ida Is being Mitltered by a childless
young couple, who. If they did not pur
sue their devious philanthropies In so
circumspect a. way would long ago have
had their names proclaimed abroad.
What they nre doing for this girl In her
greatest hour of need reads like a fairy
story. And It Is their intention never to
be known In the case.
In tho meantime, kind treatment has
done Its work. It's a different Ida RIehl
who, with tho light of hope In her eyea
and buoyant tread to her step, comes to
tho door to meet you, from the bowed,
desolntc little tlgure who sat with scared
white face and staling desperate eyed In
the crowded courtroom last week. Llfo
holds some promise when good people
treat you like one of them Instead of as
a pariah cast from the pale of respecta
bility. To all the Inmates of tho house Ida
RIehl Is n married woman, Mrs. ,
sister-in-law of her good angel, The ser
vants know her as Mrs. , and people
who come there know hor by no other
name. She Is merely a little girl who
married very, very early In life and who.
because of some recent trouble, needs rest
and attention It la no unusual thing for
this r-enlgn couple to do similar acts of
kindness; therefore. It la no unusual thing
for Mrs. . to be staying there,
IDA'S FATHER DAILY VISITOR.
Fresh country air, good food and the
assurance that everything In the world
will be done for her have brought the
roaes back to her cheeks. She Is per
mitted to participate In a few of the
household duties, If she so desires, Just
as any other "at home" visitor would be
allowed to do. Her father comes to see
her dally, and her llttlo brothers, too.
When she get a little homesick for them
she goes to the telephone -tor rcuur
ances of their affection.
The good people with whom she la liv
ing are willing 'to keep her Infinitely.
They have taken the depressing mourning
clothes away from her and In her uarx
tailored skirt jnd soft white walst her
big gray ey wide with a new-found
hope, she looks even younger than tha
17-year-old chllu she Is.
Llko a faithful dog who has been be
frlendd. her glance follows every move
of her benefector. Ida doubtless placed
Just such an Implicit trust In Edward
Hftuptfuhror. Sho Is of the trusting kind.
Her Ingenuousness and unsophlstlcatlon
are so patent that one wonders If this
can be the child who took a pistol from
her father's house and went put to kin
a man. But there, la no doubt on that
score. Sim did it. and on Monday, out
of the fulness of her heart and because
of the wide sympathy that has been
shown her. the girl will unfold In her
own words to the readers of the Even,
ino Lbdoer the tragle tale of her meet
ing with Edward Hauptfuhrer and the
swift rush of events that lead u to the
awful shooting.

THE first thought of the Founders of this business, as they publicly stated at the beginning-,
was "to gain and retain the confidence of the public." They started right, and
continued in the straightforward, fair-dealing methods which they believed to be the
only foundation of true success. They believed that energy, skill and faithful service to their
customers were deserving of reward, but were willing to labor through many years of long
days to earn it.
The growth was conservative, steady, continuous, year in and year out, the result of giv
ing an honest dollar's worth for a dollar never permitting another store regularly to sell any
article at a lower price than the Strawbridge & Clothier regular price for the same quality.
It may be accepted as a truism that if one is energetic, patient, and manages well until the NUMBER
OP DOLLARS HANDLED runs up into the millions, a very small profit on each dollar-transaction' will suffice.
And if, on a birthday occasion, it is determined to invite an unprecedented volume of business during one
month, a STILL SMALLER PROFIT WILL SUFFICE. Such an occasion is our Forty-seventh Anniversary.
M
ondav Will Probablv be the Greatest Dav
of This, Our Most Notable Anniversary Sale
The preparations for this Sale were on a more extensive scale than ever before, and, while hundreds
of thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise has been sold since the first of June, the ATTRACTIONS ARE
FULLY AS GREAT AS AT THE START. So far as any customer will be able to discern, the variety and
quantities will be just as great, and of course, the VALUES will be fully as attractive as last week.
Scores of Fresh Lots at Special Prices are Added
We cannot tell of them in detail here, and we never advertise in Sunday newspapers, but the IVPJNBfA--MORNING
NEWSPAPERS will contain such an array of money-saving opportunities as you have not seen
for an entire year and we believe the list will excel in attractiveness our great presentation of values one
year ago. Tnere win oe so many FKUSJti, fcJiiU-AJND-bJAJN JNUW l,vts tnat it will seem like a new event.
