PHILADELPHIA OPENS
ATTACK ON KINGDOM
OF DIRT AND DANGER
Battle of Clean-up Week Will
Rage Without Interruption
During Next Six
Days
BRAVE START IN ACTION
Philadelphia's army of 1,800,000 men,
women nnd children, having been mobilized
during tho last threo weeks, today began
Its long-expected move upon tho forces of
the Triple Alliance, Dorms, Microbes and
Bacterln, which, under the command of den
crnls Rubbish, Waste and Careless, havo
been strongly Intrenched for nearly a year
In bnck yards, ash heaps, cello rwnys and
attics.
There has been no Fortified group of
pacifists opposing this huge aggression,
despltft the fact that since tho punishment
Inflicted upon the enemy Jufet a year ago
a seeming Indifference to their danger has
enslaved the citizens. That punishment was
effective for a while, but for months past
tho recuperallvo powers of the enemy have
been apparent, until today the situation is
again acute,
Heforo tho troops started on their search
Director Datesman gavo these instructions!
"Invade every hiding place In the kitchen
where filth may accumulate.
"Plug the rat and mice holes.
"Putty nnd paint the cracks whero ver
min may propagate.
"Inspect the plumbing and keep the pipes
clear of rubbish heaps.
"Notify the division of housing nnd sanl
tatlon of leaks from neighboring premises
which aro Injuring your property and en
dangering health of your family. .
"Gather ait tin cans, discarded and broken
bottles and boxes from the back yard and
alley.
"Pull up all the weeds and prepare the
soil for tho growth of flowers, plants and
vegetables."
Tho campaign against tho Kingdom of
Pests nnd Dangers will be over Saturday
night. Some Idea of the magnltudo of it
may be gained from last year's statistics.

A Mistake in the Policy of
the Bethlehem Steel Company
To the People:
The Senate of the United States has passed a bill to spend $11,000,000 of the People's
money to build a government armor plant. The measure is now before the House of
Representatives. j.

" p government plant is ne9essary to secure armor mora cheaply.' t
The mistake of the Bethlehem Steel Company has been mat 11 nas Kept quiet. -
We have allowed irresponsible assertions to be made for so lone; without denial, that many
people now believe them to be proven facts.
We shall make the mistake of silence no longer. ,
- ' Henceforth we shall pursue a policy of publicity, Misinformation will not be-permitted to
go uncorrected.
It is and has been the policy of our Company to deal, with the American Government,
fairlyand squarely. - '
We shall henceforth place the details of our relations with the Government before
the American .People. , i
The United States has for twenty years obtained the highest grade of armor and has paid
a lower price for it than has any other great naval .power.
figures officially complied tor tho 6nt ComralttM on NsvaJ Affair, from the NT1 Tear llook

A. government plant cannot make armor any cheaper than we can do it; and
We are prepared to manufacture armor at any price which the Government itself shall
riante as fair, THAT BEING SO,, SHOULD $11,000,000 OF THE PEOPLE'S MONEY
BE WASTED TO BUILD A GOVERNMENT PLANT?

If we were to offer you $200 in cash for a few minutes' thought, you
would feel that it was money easily made, wouldn't you? Yet we are doing
this very thing every day. We have had 50,000 listeners who have accepted
this $200 or more, but we want you to' take advantage of this offer as well.
Now listen, you are in the market for a Piano; you go to any dealer who
buys and sells pianos and pay, say, $65 0 for a Player-Piano. You are satisfied,
but, , Mr. Buyer, who is paying the profits the dealer makes and the manufac
turer makes and the freight, etc. ? You are.
Suppose you go to the maker direct and pay $450 for a Player-Piano of
equal merit, eliminating the dealer's profits, freight, etc., who saves the dif
ference? You do. '
We are the manufacturers, we offer you the saving a real cash saving
and the Piano you will find has a higher reputation and greater lasting qual
ities than the stenciled instrument purchased from the dealer.
Ask one of the 50,000 owners.
