SMITH SEEKS TO AVOID
TECHNICAL PHRASES IN
REPORT ON TRANSIT
Executive Returns Document
for Revision and Reiterates
Promise That Will of
People Shall Rule
PROTESTS CONTINUE
The rnnouncement of Mayor Smith that
Director Twlnlng's transit report would
not bo made public until next week
caused n lull In tho trnwilt situation
today. Tho report Is ngnln In tho hands
of Director Twining, tlic mayor having
sent It back for minor changes, which
will make It less technical In phraseology.
Tlie changes requested by the mayor,
however, will not affect the general rec
ommendations contnlncd In the report and
nro designed only to make It more easily
understood when It Ii flnnlly given to
tho public. The report will bo sent to tho
printers as soon an Director Twining has
completed the minor relsinnt nnd will
bo mado public Immediately attenvard.
Just before lea ng for the youth the
Mayor reiterated his statement that he
would be governed by tho wishes of the
people In tho final disposition of tho
transit problem Ho expressed his belief
again, however, that the public would be
satlsllcd when all the details of Director
Twlnlng's recommcndntlons nro under
stood. Members ot the All-Philadelphia Transit
I.cngue, commenting on tho Mayor's dec
laration that tho transit plan will bo de
termined by tho wishes of tho public,
called attention to the fnct thnt the pub
Ho nlrcady had gone on record as favor
ing tho comprehensive Taylor plan by an
enormous majority when It voted for the
first transit loan, which carried tho Tay
lor plan In the ballot explanation ot the
purposes ' f tho loan.
It was asked whether tho Mayor wanted
the voters to continue to go on record
for the Taylor plan forever after they had
once expressed their wilt overwhelmingly.
"Jlemcmber the gas works uprising nnd
revolt," ono member of tho leaguo said,
significantly.
The Mayor hopes that by tho time ho
returns fiom the South public sentiment
will have crystallzed on tho mntter of the
Twining plans and steps will bo taken
immediately to proceed with the plans for
construction.
In splto ot the appeal of Mayor Smith
and Director Twining for tlio public to
suspend judgment until the detailed plans
hae been published, business organiza
tions In nil sections ot tho city are In
dorsing tho original Taylor plan. Instead
ot the Twining recommendations.
A resolution piotestlng against cur
tailments hi the Itroad street subway
plans. Introduced by Select Councilman
Ulrlch, ot the 42d Ward, was unanimously
adopted by the Logan Improvement
Leaguo last night. There are 1300 mem
bers In tho league.
The league "lgornusIy and earnestly"
protests against cutting off the proposed
subway at ISrle avenue. Instead ot run
ning It to Olncy avenue. As a result
of the proposals of cx-Dlrector Taylor,
It was said, which called for tho subway
to end at Olncy iinciiuo. plans were mado
for the development of much land nnd
the erection of thousands of dwellings In
North Philadelphia, Logan. Oak Lane.

incident
Nothing could more delightfully indicate the meaning of "Franco-American
quality" than the fact that in many homes these soups are served for breakfast.
For then, above all times perhaps, "the light touch" is demanded the
delicacy, the wholesomeness, the invitation to the capricious appetite, which
are the highest tests of the culinary expert. Franco-American artistry yields
consomm6 and bouillon so clear that you can see to the bottom of the cup, so
wholesome and delicious that many prefer them to coffee, so nourishing that
they are dearly prized by those who value health.
This is Franco-American Quality pure, substantial Food, touched by the
wizard's wand of the French artist into "fit food for the epicurean palate."
