Mayor Smith today made another plea
for tho passage of the loan bills to a dele
gation representing tho federnted women's
organizations of tho city, who called on
tho Mayor to ask his Influence In obtain
ing nn appropriation of $50,000 for tho
operation of tho Division of Child Hygiene.
Tho Mayor urged tho women to work for
tho passage of the loan bills nnd told them
that the granting of tho $50,000 depended
solely on 'tho passage nf the measures.
lie Added thnt an Increase In the tax rato
would surely follow the rejection of the
loan bills by tho voters.
"I am thoroughly acquainted with this
child-saving program," he said, after re
ferring to his own family, "nnd I will do
all 1 can to obtain the needed money for
you, but I say to you frankly that It will
not be possible unless the lonn bills pass.
Tho tax rato of tho city will be grently
Increased If the bills do not pass. You
can help to gei the $50,000 by helping to
pass the loan bills that designing politi
cians are opposing. Disregard political
factions nnd help us get the money we
need so badly.
"I was a politician once, hut I was not
of these kinds. Philadelphia ls big and
can only be made bigger by tho passage
of the bills. This city will bo sidetracked
for the next 10 years unless theso loan
bills pasi. All real Philadclphlans should
get back of tho loans. I cannot promise
anything unless the hills pass."
The petition asking for the $50,000 ap
propriation was presented by Mrs. Albert
Smith, chairman pf the delegation. Mrs.
B. F. Richardson, former president of the
Phllomuslan Club, which originated the
Idea, headed the delegation. Speeches
were made by Mrs. J. Willis Martin, Mrs.
I. Harrison O'Harra and Mrs. Joseph P.
Mumford. Among othera present were
Mrs. John C. Groome, Mrs. Horatio Con
nell, Mrs. E. A. Custer, Mrs. Edwnrd
lisley and Miss Florence Caldwell, Dr.
Joseph S. Xeff, president of the Child
Federation and former director of tho
Department of Public Health and Char
ities, and Dr. Samuel McCllntock, vice
president of the Child Federation, accom
panied the delegation.
Taylor Urges Organizations
to Line Up for Transit Loan
I most earnestly appeal to every
orftanization of every character in
Philadelphia for help in passing
the transit lonn.
I urge every such organization
to meet early next week to take
up the fight in its district and to
pass and publish in the newspapers
appropriate resolutions.
Wo must all stand together and
win this final fight for the high
speed system, which will bring
saving in time and money, con
venience and comfort to every
citizen.

Inquiry
GERMANY WIRELESSED
REPLY IN 19 SECTIONS
Note Aerogrammed From
Nauen to Sayville,
Long Island
NEW YORK. May 5.
Germany's reply to tho American note
began arriving In the New York office of
the' United Press at nbout 6:50 a. m. to
dayi via wireless to Sayville, L. I.
The reply was In 19 sections. For sev
eral minutes the text of the note streamed
In over the wires without Interruption.
Then there were Beveral delays between
sections, probably due to n,tmo9pherIo
conditions thnt increased the difficulty of
wireless tranimlsslon from the great Ger
man wlrelesi station at Nauen.
The translation of certain phrases of
the German communication Into the pre
cise, meaning In English by the American
Embassy attaches In Berlin was evidently
most difficult. The translations In some
Instances were very "rough," though gen
erally leaving no doubt as to the meaning.

MONEY-LADEN WOMAN
PICKED UP ON STREET
$G00 in Dimes and Quarters
Added '18 Pounds to
Her Weight
The extraordinary weight of a little
frail old woman found unconscious on the
sidewalk at 5th and Queen streets caused
nurses nt Mount Sinai Hospital to Investi
gate, with tho result that more than $600
In quarters, dimes, nickels nnd pennies
wero found hidden In the clothing of tho
patient. ""
Thi coins wcie concealed In four ennvns
bags; a bng was strapped to each knee,
and the nthpr two bags were suspended
down the wnman'n bnck insldo her cloth
ing by means of cords. Tho combined
weight of the bags of money was IS
pounds.
The woman fell to the pavement Into
last night, and neighbors In the vicinity of
5th and Queen streets notified tho police
of the 2d and Christian streets station.
From appearances It would bo Judged that
the woman would not weigh moro than
00 pounds, but Sergeant Ferris and an
other policeman weie surprised when they
lifted her Into the patrol wagon
"She must linvc some old Iron In her
pockets," commented Sergeant Ferris, nnd
when the wngon arrived nt the hospital hi
suggested thnt tho woman's clothing bo
searched.
The police believe the womnn to bo a
chewing gun vender, for soon after her ar
rival at the hospital sho regained con
sciousness for a moment and culled to the
doctors: "Chewing gum."
Tho police learned she resided several
months ago at 411 Catharine street, but
the present occupants of the property say
they do not remember her name. They
stated, however, that she had three sons
living In New York. The woman remains
In an unconscious condition at tho hospi
tal, but physicians there say she will
recover.
Local Hatters Deluged With Orders From Rooters Who
Will Attend Athletic Events to $e Provided by
Penn Ethereal Effects in Bands Taboo
Straw hats will bloom officially tomor
row. While this summer headgear hna been
sprouting In various forms during the Inst
few days, tomorrow has been designated
as the formal opening. Left overs from
1915 are not allowed nhd will be denlt
with summarily. Thousands of the new
creations are expected at the athletlo
feast whlch will be provided by Penn.
Thcro will be a track meet with Dart
mouth, a baseball game with Harvard nnd
a la crosfe contest with Swarthmore.
Local hatters have been deluged nnd
hundreds of the rooters have already ob
tained their masculine millinery for the
ofTlclnl debut.
Soda water sports whose tastes run to
ethereal effects In hat bands had better
beware. It ls understood that as far as
Penn Is concerned only black nnd red and
bluo will be tolerated, lt Is unnecessary
to say here whnt will become of hats en
clrcted by nny other colors
Mnny of the hats tills year are of the
bungalow type Just enough room for a
short hair cut and nothing more. This
stylo mny ho due to the scarcity of straw,
or to thp war who knows?
The bucket-shaped hats of last year are
regarded as passe. They had a tendency
to make most youths took awkward and
conveyed a suspicion thnt the wearer was
making arrangements for approaching
egotism.
Lots of men who refuse to obey dic
tates of the season will refuse to wear
their new straws until Sundas-. This cer
tainly shows extreme excluslveness but
who cares?

At your next luncheon when you are congratulated on the excellence of
the soup and do not disclose the fact that it is Franco-American we will
forgive you! Yours is a justifiable silence. Any hostess would be tempted
to let such soup pass as her own!
Franco-American Soups are Quality products for a Quality taste. Earth
and sea yield their best to them. The art and science of a master of French
cooking goes into them. They are liked and served in homes where the food
must be beyond shadow of reproach. They are the standard at once of the
Nourishment and the Art in good food.
