Mayor Smith today urged Philadelphia
to Bupport tho Templo campaign fund for
the first J250.000 toward tho Jl, 000,000 en
dowment fund for '. nple University, nnd
praised tho Institution ns "one of tho city's
greatest assets." The 30 teams at work
slnco Inst Wednesday began a now week
today with n balance of $81,568 to their
credit. The campaign will close Friday
night with a banquet at the Hotel Adclphla,
whero the headquarters aro located,
Of tho campaign, Mayor Smith said:
"I tako groat pleasure In offering my
congratulations and best wishes to tho
group of prominent Phlta'delphlans who
havo undertaken the task of raising 1,
000,000 for tho wonderful Temple Univer
sity. Tho good peoplo of this great City
of Brotherly Love will not fall to respond
to their appeal If they feel toward Temple
University the way 1 feel.
"I look upon Templo as ono of tho city's
greatest nsscts and most useful Institutions,
for It offers opportunities to tho ambitious
working boy nnd girl that nono other offers:
It occupies n unique nnd distinctly essential
nlcho in our great scheme, qf education.
"What I Ilka about Temple University Is
thnt Its students earn their living expenses.
Such a policy eliminates the college 'sets'
and cliques wo hoar so much about. In
Temple, from what I understand, every
student Is on an equality with every other
student. There Is no aristocracy, and that
makes for better college spirit.
"Tho two hospitals nllled with Temple
University fill gaps In their respcctlvo com
munities that would be hard to duplicate.
The Samaritan Hospital has tho confidence
of tho folk In Tioga and Logan, and tho
Gnrretson Hospital is held high In the re
gard of the workers in that busy Industrial
centre around 18th and Buttonwood streets.
"I would bo extremely glad to see Phila
delphia people lend their aid In tho cam
paign for this worthy Institution."
Before the day closes It Is expected the
heaviest total ever reported at any of the
campaign meetings will have been turned
In. Though Saturday Is usually regarded
as "light," the amount reported Saturday,
$3M!0, was the largest day's work accom
plished. Tho" second ticket for an ascension In the
balloon Greater Philadelphia II will be auc
tioned off this afternoon. Two tickets for
rides wero donated by the Philadelphia
Aeronautical Recreation Society. Members
of the society sell tickets for $50 and some
times more. The first ticket went to Percy
M. Chandler for $60 at tho .luncheon on
Saturday. Ills ticket Is for a trip June 8.

f
Use the ax I
George did,
and LOST!
George Washington was a thrifty and forehanded man;
he died, it is said, the richest man in the new world
America's first millionaire.
He had a weakness for getting things cheap; and like a large number of
people in his day, he often played the lotteries. One adventure he records
laconically in his diary under date of Oct. 14, 1788 (three months before he
was chosen the first President of the new Republic):
"By profit and loss, in two chances in raffling for encyclopaedia
Britannica, which I did not win, 14."
This great work, already famous, was deeply coveted in Washington's day.
And such rafflings were many. The custom still prevails.
A few weeks ago, at a charity fair in New York City, a set of the new Eleventh
Edition of the Britannica was offered in a raffle and 1800 tickets were sold.
The sum of $450 was realized from the sale of a single set of this work. It is
doubtful if any other set of new books in any language could bring such a sum.
The people of today are as eager to own this famous work as in Washing
ton's time, as is evidenced by the fact that more than 70,000 people have
already paid more than $16,000,000 for the new Eleventh Edition.
The reason is clear enough. In Washington's day, as in our own, the
Encyclopaedia Britannica represented'the finest digest of the world's knowl
edge which could be obtained.
It is this fact which has made it for 148 years the standard in the English
language, and incomparably the greatest work of reference in any language.

a
Of Perennial Value
Like a fino watch, like beautiful furniture, like precious Jewels, tho
value does not rapidly decrease. A,few days ago, at on auction in New
York City, the sum of $137.50 was paid for a secondhand set of the
"Cambridge University" issue of tho new Eleventh Edition. For his
copy the owner had paid something like $160 nearly two years ago ; and
bad the use of the books in the meantime.
This splendid work you may now obtain for a little more than one
third this figure a brand-new, complete and unabridged copy of the
Eleventh Edition, guaranteed by the publishers both as to its contents
nnd as to the quality of the binding, paper and printing,
not in tho large-sized "Cambridge University" issue; that would
be absurd; but in a new "Handy Volume" Issue of the same work
which the publishers have made for us ; every one of its 29 volumes and
80,000 pages and 15,000 illustrations, identically tho same ns the larger
and higher-priced work, except in size.
Not Much Longer
But this chance can last for only a little while longer. We arranged
with the publishers for an enormous printing. This alone made possible
the phenomenallylowpricontwhich wo are nble to offeryou these books.
Now the publishers advise us that on account of the rising costs
everywhere they cannot possibly supply us with any more seta at these
prices, when the present contract is out.
When you purchase a set of tho new "Handy Volume" Issue you
have the assurance that you have paid for It the lowe-t price at
which It will be sold that it will not depreciate rapidly In value, and
that It will be worth for a long time very nearly what you paid for It.
A 180-PAGE BOOK FREE
The publishers of the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA have pre
pared a richly illustrated book of 130 paces to tell you all about this
great work and the new "Handy Volume" Issue, and its usefulness to
you. It is full of interesting stories, clever dialogues, beautiful pictures
a book packed from cover to cover. Some of Its contents include:
100 interesting bits of knowledge revealing the ENCYCLOPAEDIA

of its kind.
Twenty pages of interesting dialogue telling of the unexpected In
terest of the BRITANNICA for women.
A clever story about the way children get interested in it.
Portraits of the Nobel Prize winners and other famous contributors
to the new Eleventh Edition.

pages and the like.
