Citizens' Clubman
Itldles and cartridges aro being dis
tributed free by tho Government to citizens'
clubs throughout tho country as another
utop In tho preparedness movement. More
than 300.000 rifles and 30,000,000 pounds
of cartridges In tho Government arsenals
aro nt tho disposal of persons forming such
clubs, tho Government has announced,
when llioy ntllllate with the National llltle
Association of America.
Since tho first of the year the Ordnance
Department has Issued 310 rifles and
1.43S.9GI cartridges. The rllles are of the
Krng typo, 1908 model. The N'ntlonal
Association Is growing steadily and Is
composed of more than 1000 rlllo clubs,
both military and civilian.
Prosperity and wealth, which are flow
ing Into this country In a steady Btrcam
from the hnttlcflelils of Europe In the
form of financial loans and munition tir
dcrs nre a serious menace to American
manhood and morality, nccordlng to tho
Itev. Dr. IMwIn Hoyl Delk, who preached
the Lenten sermon In tho First I'resby
tnrlatt Church, "th street and South
Washington square, at noon today.
"Indeed, our manhood Is likely to suf
fer." tho speaker said. "Wo grow callous
to the suffering and death of others. The
lust of wealth Is In our brain and hearts.
Already tho United States Is Involved
politically, commercially and morally In
tho (treat war. Our farmers, manufac
turers and financiers nre making millions
of dollars out of tho hardships and suf
ferings of European peoples and Mn a
criminal forcing of prices upward In
America. Tho mornl effect decidedly Is
dangerous.
"Our sacrifice must bo equal to our gain
If wo can stand at tho end of tho war
without blush and relaxed moral fibre. Wo
must sacrifice not only for the poor, home
less and wounded In liuropc, but we must
slvo ourselves In sclf-dcdlcatlon to liberty,
righteousness and Justice, or America will
grow soft and sodden In her political
life."

I What Piano Shall I Buy?
p Decide It Like- a Bosieess Man 1
1
In our Music Department, one of our salesmen inquired of a
customer, "What is the make of your player-piano?" and the cus
tomer answered vaguely, "Well, I do not know. My wife bought it
at a carry-all store, but I think it was made somewhere in the west.
Had I done the buying, I would have used business sense and
bought from your house, knowing that you make pianos here in
Philadelphia, where I could save at least from twenty to thirty per
cent on the purchase, and if the piano went wrong and required any
immediate factory attention, you are right here to stand back of your
guarantee.
