to be the beginning of whnl Is going to

theories expounded nt tho show. Hvery

vho listens to the expounding of this Idea
seems ti hno another Idea.
WONDKHS OK lllll .SHOW.
Ten million nucttlous hiio been usked
so far, sa salesmen In tcstlf.xlng tn the
success of the show. There lias never
been so much Interest In the public In the
latest fads, additions and Improvements
In the equipment of the vnrloun lunkes.
This, shy officials of the show. Is due to
the fact thnt tJic overage price of auto
mobiles will onlv be around JfiOO during
tho year 1PM, Where one man owned his
own "set of wheels" last year, three will
own them this year, snj kales managers.
And the cars this j car will make Inst
ear's cars look like n nothing at all (so
say the sales managers). Hut bo that as
It may
"That locomotive there reminds me of
nn Orlentnl buckboard I used to have 10
cnrs ngo," snld one man. pointing to a
huge "dreadnought" sparkling under a
bright coat of scnrlet enamel nnd Glisten
ing" with polished nlekle "llxln's."
"To start my buckbonrd I had to reach
down nnd give tho flywheel n Hip while
held on to the hnlter I made for It. I
hnd to let the little thing get underway
before t could hop In. If I Jumped in too
soon It would stop. Now, look at the
nn;ces a fellow can put his car through,
Just by touching buttons," nnd tho two
men then "chugged" nlong In n shower of
technical terms nnd scientific theories ns
they hung over the huge car behind the
roll.
STAGING THE BCAl'TV SHOW.
It, has been n tremendous proposition
to stage this, "beauty show" of modern
mechanism. All questions of expense have
evidently been forgotten by the committee
In charge In their efforts to "put the dls
playn ncross."
The first difficulty that hod to be over
come was the provision of sufficient Jloor
space. At least 150.000 feet of lumber
had been used In adding to the accommo
dations of the huge hall, so that an ncre
and a half of display room has been made
available. Another problem that faces the
committee was the proper heating of tho
building. A network of miles of piping
hus been laid through the hall. Twelvo
tons of linoleum conceal the fresh plank
Ititr. Countless rolls of gay bunting havo
been unraveled nnd draped through the
huge show place to relieve the black nnd
white, which Is the prevailing color
scheme. Statues, statuettes nnd marbles
of every kind nre hnlf hidden or boldly
displayed on every hand. Most of them
nre reproductlons-of mnsterplec-- ancient
nnd modern.
The most magnificent of all tho decora
tions Is a huge fresco. 15 feet high nnd
44t) yards long, repreaentlng the popula
tion of a whole town In the 'ccstncles of a
Rreelsn dnnee Polks don't take In Hie i Dl-"u' I1 " gruuna anil Dllliu
?" !S.M"n,Chl.- h J". 1"1 YLlS '3. ' IWM re, of course, tho most Important
countryside these days to do their danc
ing, and that Is Just where tho fresco
has significance at the automobile show,
for where In' the old days, the city folks
were drawn to the open air nnd country
by the dance and other sports, for which
It Is used as the symbol, the modern
automobile now whirls them along the
country roads In ths pure air and sun
shine. This also is explained, to any one
that takes the pains to ask. by tho gra
cious salesman.
VISITORS AMAZED.
Gasps are as common at the show as
exclamations of pleasure over the new
models on exhibition. Visitors were
knocked speechless at first as they crowd
ed around the gorgeous booths and gazed
at what Is to be the mode In motor
travel for the year 1918. Many a polite
salesman had to stop to catch his breath
or rub his tired Jaws as he attempted
to take a fresh start In answering the
ceaseless flow of questions that came rat
tling across the rails at every booth.
"Everybody picks at me so," said one
salesman, taking a hasty look at a near
by mirror to make sure that his shiny
hair had not been disturbed by the
clamorous visitors. "One snatches at my
coat-tails, another at my elbow, while
another Is batting me on the back and
hollering In my ear, 'yer car's a' right,
'a a' right.' " And the salesman puck
ered his brow to emphasize his disap
proval of such violent methods.
In the number of exhibitors the 1915
show ts far beyond anything that has
been held In previous years. Models of
cars and accessorial are being shown by
more than 100 concerns, which Is twice
the number that held forth at the first
how, years ago. Most of the cars are
gaa-drlven. There are only three elec
trlo makes, and a lone steamer not much
like the original "steamers." to be sure,
that looked like a large cloud of steam
rolling dowu the street.
1J-CY&INDEII MODELS,
For the tlrt time Is shown the new II
cy Under models. There are not a few
-MHrhtV" while the good old ''sixes'' and
'ftiura" prove once more their stability
and popularity by composing the major
part of the exhibition. Styles In bodies
have varied more in the present exhibi
tion than for a number of years. A
feature la the predominance of demount
able opa, "which have proved so popular
and which have done so much to make
the automobile an all-year-round car.
Roadster types have had great attention
lavished on them by builder this year
and are expected to be more popular
than ever.
"The reduction In coat of the can, which
is gradually coming, ts due, in most fac
tartea, to Increased facilities for produc
tion, with fewer parts used in the make
up tad these used to better advantage.'

Tho tlrst Htcp In tho now development
provides for the transfer of the Institu

consummated.
ni:v huii-dinos nki:di:d.
It Is announced, however, that the plot
enn bo had for approximately KOO.000.
The chnnge of site Is thought ndvlsahln
for several reasons. Chief among them
Is the fact that the present buildings nro
Inadequate.
Many of tho students and several of
the Instructors attend or Instruct classes
In tho University or Pennsylvania, and
the distance between the two Institu
tions is so great that It is a source of
great Inconvenience. Such Inconvenience
Is held unfortunate, since resources of
fered by tho course and library facilities
of tho University are of Incstlmnble value
to tho students nt the divinity school.
BKTTKIt PAY KOP. TKACHKRR.
Other steps planned are an Increase In
tne nHmry of professors, a choir school
with Its endowment, nnd n "Divinity
nnd tho committee, will attempt to raise
funds for provision of them first.
Just what plan will bo followed to col
lect the Jl.000,000 that the Im.uovements
entail hns not as yet been fully de

project will he distributed to the public
In a short time. The committee, how
ever, will meet on Wednesday, nt which
time some dellnlto scheme of finance will
be evolved.

VARE "GANG" CACKLES LOVE
FOR ITS BOSS, BUT IT'S TOM
AND HIS FEATHERED FLOCK
Votes Be Hanged, Says Brother of Politicians,
Happy and Beloved in His Modern Chicken
Plant in New Jersey
"I'd rather raise chickens any time than
rnlso voles." Tom Vnie shook the Bnow
from his boots and Jerked nn Industrious
nerlrs. He him a Hock of them In Ham-
tnontoii, N. J fully n dozen little, houses,
whoso rigid white roofs llaro out In
emphatic contrast to the lowering trees
which encircle his pretty homestead.
Tom has no desire for politics, like his
bi other DIM, the Congiessniaii, oi Ida
brother Ed, the Senator. Ho spends most
of his time In bin hoots. He Is the abso
lute leader In his lltle colony of five acres
and Ilia constituents nre Ills chlckena;
XM of them at this time. He gives them
a squ-ire deal nnd they give him n clear
majority of about 'MOO eggs a week.
And they all stand on their merits.
There nre no fnctlons among these faith
ful fowl. They know they're sure of three
meals a day nnd a good bed, and what
more can any kind of n chicken wnnt.
IIEIXIVKD HY "OANO."
Tom Is little more than three score
years and looks good for many more, and
la known personally to every member of
his "gang." They welcome him Willi a
Kind cackle when be opens the chicken
house door. He given them a lender cure
that u mother would give her child. Ho
thinks nothing of getting up all hours of
theiilght to administer to their Ills. They
never run short of food nnd havo nothing
to worry about.
In that respect they're better off than
many politicians, who live on hope.
The way to get work done Is to do It
yourself Is Tom's motto. In addition to
being general manager of his henneries
he Is also foreman and worklngmnn. He
mixes the chicken's menu, feeds them, re
pairs the chicken houses, the machinery,
lookB after the heat nnd ventilation ond
while he rests he helps Mrs. Varo with
the housework.
He was helping his wife to lay carpet
when a visitor called, Tom dropped his
work Immediately and extended the hand
of hospitality for which the Vnres nre
famous.
But Mrs. Varo could not repress a look
of despair, for nny one will ndmlt it's
most aggravating when someone calls
right in the middle of the housework.
Tom doesn't like notoriety, nnd was In
clined to be reticent concerning general
personal questions, '
nut when the BUbJect of "chickens"
was Introduced It was all off.
USED HIS OWN IDEAS.
"I read about how to raise chickens for
a long time." he said, "and my head got
so full of all sorts of plans and schemes
that 1 Just forgot all about it and tried
some of my own Ideas. Tho best way
to understand what I'm doing Is to come
out and look."
Darting quickly through the chicken
door he led the visitor around the chicken
plant.
If there's such a thing ns a chicken
parlor It's one of Tom Vare'a henneries.
Each Is white throughout, with a sepa
rate little drinking trough In each com
partment and a carpet of golden shav
ings. In keeping with the atmosphere
are the hundreds and hundreds of White
Leghorn chickens. They are as proud as
peacocks. Incidentally, and regard visitors
with a quizzical eye.
Each house Is electrically lighted
throughout, and In addition to having a
reliable thermometer there Is an electri
cal alarm connected with Tom's bed
room. It awakens him when the tempera
ture gets too low or too high and re's
out of bed In a Jiffy with his lantern.
Rover, his faithful Airedale, also hears
the alarm and Is always at the kitchen
door to accompany his industrious master
to the scene of trouble.
MIDNWHT ALARMS.
In the brooder house there is also an
alarm attached to the Incubators. These
have a capacity of 6000 eggs. Often It
happens that a little chick makes Its debut
at night. Sometimes when It peeps
through the shell the bird finds this world
entirely too cold and Is about to make
a hasty exit when the alarm goes off.
In a few minutes Tom is on the scene.
lie turns on the heat another notch and
the little chick peepa its gratitude.
Thus the spirit of loyalty la born". - j
it any wonder that all the chickens Jay
liaUlttily and, that, t&s egta tAe la

AT HIS JERSEY HEN FARM
demniid In New York. Ilnltlmore. Phila
delphia and Washington?
It Is true. Even the omelet eaten this
.morning, by Hcnntor- Penrose, self-confessed
statesman, may liaVe come in Its
original form from Tom Vare's hennery.
And, who knows, mayhap some of the
White House salads may have becn'gnr
nlshed with Vnre eggs
Such statements were not made by Tom,
mind you, hut hla reluctant admission
that many of his eggs were shipped to
"pilvnto" trade In New York, Ualtlmoro.
Washington nnd Philadelphia warrants
such assumption.
HATES CITY MKE.
It doesn't bother Tom In the least be
causo polltlciaiiH have never hoard of
him, for ho believes that hatching chick
ens Is Just as Important as hatching
political schemes. Hn does not care nny
thlng nbout tho fuss and feathers of
city life. He had i. taste of It in his
earlier days, nnd alwns had n yearn
ing for tho country. He Is happier In
his working clothes nnd his boots than
when togged out In clt.- attire, and his
rugged features and springy step show
that he li one of nature's real sons.
After the trip around the plant Tom
suddenly hecnine sphinx-like when ques
tioned .about himself, for he believes thnt
no one la Interested In him.
With inucn difficulty It was learned that
ho left Philadelphia when lie was 21 und
went to Chicago and Cleveland, where
he superintendent Iron foundries.
I.ater he Invented several machines used
In tho Iron Industry. About 15 years ago
he became Interested In tho chicken
breeding business, and teallzlng that It
would be profitable he started his plant
nt Hammonton, beginning with very few
chickens, but tho Hock Increased until it
now numbers thousands,
"How do you manage to get such a
large number of eggs each week?" he was
asked.
CHICKS ARE HAPPY.
"I try to glvo the chickens the same
conditions In tho winter hs they have
In summer," said Tom, "and they have
to scratch among oyster shells for their
food, A chicken Is like a man. If you give
It too much to eat It becomes lazy and In
different, And n chicken likes a change
lu Its bill of fare Just like we do. So I
change Its food around so It will be con
tent." "You've been talking for an hour," said
Mrs. Vara from the kitchen door.
And Tom went back to lay the carpet.
DIRECTOR KRUSEN
DISCUSSES GRIP
Continued from I'ase One
"It Is impossible for the Department of
Public Health to take care of the grip
cases," he said. "We can't treat It as a
contagious disease, for it Isn't one. Of
course, there aro certain secretions of the
nose and mouth that make the disease
communicable, and that Is why we say
what we do about sneezing, spitting and
go on. Out these acts communicate other
diseases beside grip.
"a rip Is an aliment that has many com.
plications. We can't lake the patient off
to a hospital for contagious disease, and
It Is necesaary for .he patient to have
medical attention. Grip never la dangerous
If a doctor Is called In right away. The
danger lies In the neglect of It or not
knowing what to do or doing the wrong
thing.

The Last Word
Twenty alert and clever women,
trained shoppers, in different parts
of tr.e United States were recently
employed to go into the largest and
the small exclusive shops at tho
last moment each month, pick up
the choicest, newest ideas they
could find in the way of woman's
novelties for her person, her home,
her child, or her kitchen, and send
them by quickest mail to Phila
delphia. There they are instantly
photographed, put on the fastest
printing presses, and quickly bound
into the latest issue of The Ladies'
Home Journal as the last pages.
This insures from 40 to 60 of the
newest ideas in each number of
the magazine gathered at the last
moment and gives one of the
quickest and most up-to-date serv
ices that a magazine has ever at
tempted. It is the new idea that women
want in these days, and this new
department will be what is called
"The Last Word"- a pictorial
postscript bristling with new ideas.
