CAWAliD FOR MISS POWELL
BRTN MAWIl, Pft.. Stpt 29. Tlaln ana
wind blasted the Horse Show here for a
vlf hour this afternoon. Spectators ned
iroin th flc,(1 boxe8, na,n dfv 1 un
ttr tho Awning and scattered them to the
'stand that seemed safe foi n, time while
tools of water gathered n the sagglne can
its above thilr heads.
Outside In the ring the judges moved
toiether Into a knot qt the center of their
ihelter. and the riders and mounts In clxss
llll loped round and round In a blinding
idownpour. Then a gale of wind ripped
Into the awning of the stand. Tont poles
'swayed and tho canvas spilled water down
m the heads of tho shivering spectators.
!l the same tlmo the temperature dropped
IreYeral degrees. When all the water had
been run down off the awning tho light
, 'canvas, relieved of the weight, flopped
.wildly In tho gale. Heavy poles were
loosened. They bumped about dangerous
'jy. frightening every one.
i Finally, during a lull, tho throng fled
to tho clubhouse. Some wero cnught at
the rear end of the box row. They gathered
' In a knot under a sagging piece of awn Jig
and wero slowly drenched. After a half
hour of tho storm there appeared n break
to the south and the prospect of clearing.
QlttLS WINS PRIZB
A blue ribbon for the horso she drove In
the harness class was the birthday present
awarded by Judges today to Miss Frances
Powell, daughter of Dr. Edgar W. Powell,
of Dryn Mawr, who Is sixteen years old.
Her birthday anniversary came at an
opportune time, for tho Bryn Mawr health
board has a rulo against admitting anyone
under sixteen years old to the grounds.
Miss Powell wns not permitted to Tenter the
grounds yesterday. Today, however, b'lng
sixteen, she walked In promptly and took
her place In a runabout behind Iloan Anne,
of Dclchestcr Farm. Miss Constance Vau
claln And Miss Isabella Wanamaltcr also
drove horses In this class.
VISITOIt DECIDES AWAItD
1 Sir Adam Beck, of London, Ontario, was
called upon this morning to decide a close
question as to tho qualities of Red Oak,
owned by F. Ambrose Clark, and Sugar
Plum, the property of Miss Constance Vau
claln. The judges, II. S. Page, F. S. Von Stade
and Lewis E. Waring, could not decide
whl?h horse deserved the blue ribbon. This
was In tho class for novice hunters and
Jumpers.
Sir Adam, an authority on this style,
was asked for n decision. Ho looked over
both horses carefully and finally gave the
first award to Red Oak. Miss Vauclaln
got the red ribbon,
A thrilling spill, from which the rider
escaped unhurt, occurred during tho show
ing of Class 110, for lightweight hunters,
early In ,tho afternoon. A groom, riding
J, Stanley Reeve's Hnppy Creek, was
pitched over the horse's head when tho ani
mal stumbled after making a jump. Thq
man picked himself up unhurt.
CONTESTANT IN ACCIDENT
The groom's fall was followed a few
minutes later by an accident to A. J. Antclo
Severeux, riding .his own horse. Tho ani
mal took the north jumps In the oval neat
ly, but flipped the top bar with his oft hind
foot.' This threw him out of balance and
he struck the ground at an angle. The
landing was bad. Horse and rider sprawled
In tho tnnbark. but the throw put .a safe
distance between them. Sir. Devereux got
to his feet and remounted.
MANY IN SPORT ATTIRE
Warm weather that made fall clothing
too heavy for comfort at the opening of the
show yesterday lured out many a sport
attire that had been discarded when It
seemed cool weather had arrived to stay.
The result was a spread of bright color
throughout the stand and wherever women
spectators assembled. In marked contrast
with yesterday when recollection of the re
cent cool wave and the belief In prepared
ness brought out much fall clothing of
darker hues.
Horse shows gather force as they pro
gress. The morning crowd today waB much
larger than yesterday, and the prospect of
big throngs for this afternoon were bright
as the show opened. '
Precautions taken by the Bryn Mawr
Board of Health against Infantile paralysis
have disturbed the show schedule to a con
siderable extent. Np child under Blxteen
can possibly get Into the grounds.
"NEWSIES" HARD HIT
This hit the newsboys hard,, for their
best business Is done lnsido. Instead they
gather at tho gates apd sell what they can
to spectators entering and the crowds leav
ing at the end of the day.
The regulation Btopped the pony events
In which children were to drive. There
were three ot'these scheduled for the .first
two days.
The Health Board rules are off on Sat
urday, however, so the managers of the
how have rearranged the program by
substitutions and the chlldreifs events will
be run off Saturday and on Monday and
Tuesday,
The heaviest-entered event for today Is
the hunters of the Corinthian class. There
are eighty-one in this event and the fea
ture will be Interesting. The mounts nre to
be ridden by hunt-club members In the
Pink of the chase. The winner will got a
cup and In addition a prize of f 100. There
Is a second prize' of J 60.

MIN SPOILS THE PROMISE
OF C0L0RFDL AFTERNOON
Rain during the early part of tho after
noon spoiled what promised to be an In
teresting contest between sunshine and so
ciety to make colorful the Dryn Mawr
Horse Show.
Of course, Mr. Ileglnald Vanderbllt was
ono'of the first to appear,
Mrs. William Hirst, whoso old-rose
sweater and green volours hat are most bo
coming, came early. Miss Isabella Wana
maker appeared In a stunning green riding
lvablt and camo In for a fair amount of
applause as she drove around the oval. Mrs.
Robert L. Gerry and Mr. Foxhall Keene, on
horseback, wero eagerly watching the show.
Mrs. Wlkoff Smith selected peach pink
for her costume, which consisted of n, silk
sweater cast over a smart white skirt and
hand-embroidered blouse. Her hat was a
broad one of Angora wool, faced with navy
blue silk.
Mrs. Charles E. Coxe watched tho morn
ing classes from a box. She wore black
georgette crepe and a small black hat.
Mrs. Samuel Riddle, wearing gray crept,
de chine, had with her Mrs. Caesar Sturanl,
whose gray cloth suit and blue hat brought
out her rare coloring. A gray fox scarf
completed this attractive costume.
Another ardent admirer of the Horse
Show doings Is Mrs. John Valentine, who
appeared thla morning In a white sports
suit and mustard-color hat
CITY SEEKS SOLUTION
OF BREAD PROBLEM
Inspectors of Bureau of Weights
and Measures Begin Offi
cial Investigation
The first thorough omclal Investigation
of the bread question in Philadelphia Is
being conducted this week by four of the
most reliable Inspectors of tho Bureau of
Weights and Measures under John Vlrdln,
supervisor. Loaves In virtually all stores
and bake Bhops of the city have been
weighed and tested, and all changes of
price or size of loaves have been recorded.
This bread question Is ono of tho big
gest Items In the cost of living and de
mands a thorough Investigation," said Mr
Vlrdln this morning. "I think the exact
determination of the truth In regard to
bread has not been made heretofore, and
there has been too much wild talk on both
sides. This Inspection we have been mak
ing this week may lead to other Important
items of the commodity problem In Phila
delphia, which Is, In fact, the biggest prob
lem In the everyday llfo of every family.
"Under present systems there Is too muoh
hold-up between the producer and the con
sumer of food products. The rroduccr does
not get the bjncflt of eomo of the big prices
that now prevail ; It Is tho middleman who
takes advantage of the hlgh-cost-of-livlng
agitation to reap riches for himself. He
thinks .the public, will stand for anything.

WIPE WILL MAKE TRIPS
By ROBERT J. BENDER .
ASnunr PAniC, N. J., Sept S9. Four
Issues peaco, prosperity, business prepar
edness and the eight-hour law will bo held
paramount by President Wilson when he
goes Into the country to finish his cam
pagn for re-election, It was learned today.
These Issues he regards as the ones upon
which tho voters will vindicate or repudiate
his Administration.
The President la feeling fit, appears a
trifle heavier and says he's In great trim
for tho trips West. He Is enthusiastic
about going as Is Mrs. Wilson, who will
accompany him everywhere. It will be
Mrs. Wilson's first taste of a real campaign
and she Is preparing for It with zest.
THE MAN ON THE STREET
The man on tho street, tho President be
lieves, Is thankful first of all that his coun
try Is at peaco. For that reason his fore
most appeal to tho voters will be nolto
accept what tho President terms "radical
changes of policy, which may alter the
whole aspect of the nation's life" and
"endanger the present terms of peace and
good will with the world."
Secondly, ho will point to tho prosperity
of the country and tell how tho Adminis
tration has placed a legislative bulwark
under this to preclude tho possibility of
financial depression at the conclusion of
the European war.
CONSTRUCTIVE POLICT
Ho plans to offer a constructive policy to
meet the unprccendented economic condi
tions which, will arise when Europe again
Is able to enter the competitive markets
of trade. In this ho will appeal particularly
to tho young men and those upon whom "tho
future development of tho country depends
In an unusual and peculiar degree." He
will urgo tho "cultivation of Imagination,
vigor, vision and enterprise" to meet the
new era.
Finally the President will challenge his
political critics to meet squarely tho eight
hour day Issue and state what they would
have done In a situation similar to that
confronting him recently, when a great rail
road strike was threatened.
"Would you now. If In power, repeal the
Adamson law?" Is a question which may be
expected by Hughes In tho" near future.
Hello Girls Unmoved by Fire
Smoke and flames did not drive girl tele
phone operators from their switchboards In
the Keystone Telephono Company's build
ing at 135 South Second street, last night.
Tho fire swept the second floor of the
furnlturo warehouse of Stern & Co., at 147
South Hancock street, across tho street
from tho telephono building. The damage
Im estimated at about $2000. The flro Is be
lieved to have boen caused by spontaneous
combustion of oily rags which aro used to
polish furniture.
