life M WAR ON PENROSE MAN FOR SPEAKER y&re, Smith and Brumbaugh Confer on Fight Against Baldwin SEEK "EO-BO" CANDIDATE Administration Plans to Effect Working Coalition in Legislature Governor Brumbaugh, with the assist ante of the Vares And tha Smith Adminis tration, will bitterly oppose the election of Itlehard J. Baldwin, of Delaware County, retiroso candidate for Speaker ot the House. Plans for opposing the Baldwin candi dacy nnd for making compromise proposals In order to effect united support for the Mayor's program of tax and other lcgls Ifitton and to reduce to a minimum the factional fight In the Legislature, were dis cussed nt the hurried conference held last jilfht In Hnirlsburg. Tlio .Mayor, Congressman William S Varo nnd Governor llrumbaugh attended the confab, 'which lasted more than two hours. The Mayor nnd Vara left for Phila delphia hurriedly at 4 30 o'clock, and re turned to the city a silt last night. The onferenco was followed by a dinner at the axtcutlvo mansion. ItCSULT OF CONFAB Neither tho Mayor nor Congressman Vara would comment today on what occurred at the executlvo mansion. It became known, however, that the result of tho conference was at follows The combined power of the State and city administrations may be used to fight tho election of Baldwin, to whom tho Governor Is unalterably opposed. A compromtso speaker will be sug gested by the administration, but tho nfty-fltty" candidate has not been se lected na yet. No agreement has been reached on any legislation that III come before the legislature, but tho Governor, Mayor and their political friends r hopeful that there will be no opposition to tha Hayor'a bills to obtain relief In tho taxation problem. , "t win not make any comment on my visit ta Itarrlsburr," said the Mayor. Congressman Vnre would do nothing more than admit that the conference had been htld. "It Is true that tha Major and Biyselt Went to Harrlsburg. Wo had dinner with the Governor, but t won't discuss It." It was reported that Attorney Uoneral Brown attended the conference) but Con gressman Varo denied this. "I dtd not see him at alt In Harrlsburg." ho said. Governor Brumbaugh, In Harrlsburg, ad mitted that tho Speakership had been dis cussed. Asked It any conclusion had been reached on tho Speakership, he said: "Wo only discussed It Indirectly. Wo are awaiting developments." "Have you decided upon any one?" "No; wo nro simply waiting develop ments. Ilcally, their whole purposo In com ing here was to talk over legislation per taining to tho development of Philadel phia. "Philadelphia Is about to ratso Its tax rate. It must So 80 to pay Its debts and to do other things. I am not ready to go into details at present, but the fact Is tho city must get some relief In carrying Its bur dens, and It will likely bo necessary to widen Its taxation resources. TO HELP PHILADELPHIA "Mv visitors nro vary much Interested In tho development ot Philadelphia, nnd so are alt of us. I am, too. I am a Phlladelphlan. I want to aee the city grow and that Is why we had tho talk. They camo hero to dis cuss matters referred to In my statement of last week In regard to the city's legislation. Jt la a big problem, and we talked over vari ous phases." Tho administration and the Vnrcs are opposed to ths election of Baldwin because the Delaware 'bounty man Is considered one of the leading "wets" In tho house, nnd because ho announced that he had tho Pen rose support It was pointed out today In political circles that Baldwin wnged tho name kind of a campaign for tho Speakership two years ago, and after ho had declared ho would ttlck to tho finish. It developed on Iho eve of tho convening of the legislature that both factions had agreed upon Charles A. Ambler for Speaker. Baldwin was Indorsed last night by tho JtepresentatlveB-elect of Bucks nnd Mont gomery Counties. Thoss who signed tho Indorsement were Henry T Pickering- and Daniel O. frets, of Bucks, both lieutenants of Joseph It Grundy, and James S. Bojd and I. T. Hnldeman, of Montgomery. Boyd and Haldeman aro lieutenants ot Charles Johnson, Penrose leader In tho county. Fletcher W. Stltes, tho third member from Montgomery County, did not sign It Ho Is a follower of Charles A. Ambler. Woman's Will Probated The will of Mary J. Shammo, who died recently at 260 North Fifty-second street, was admitted to probate today. It dis poses ot effects valued at 15800 In private bequests. The personalty of the estates of Leopold Brooks and Hannah M. Patter ion has been appraised at $5000 and 12823,70, respectively.

PENN STUDENTS FORM DIET SQUAD Fifteen Seek to Eclipse Chi cago's Forty-Cent Achievement DAY'S FARE 33 CENTS Preliminary arrangements to provide fif teen University of Pennsylvania students with ft diet which will effectively nourish them nt n cost nt least ten cents under tho forty cent's a day spent Tor each member of the Chicago Health Department's '"diet squad" wero begun today by two student!) representing the Wllllamsport Club nnd pro fessors ot physiological chemistry and polit ical economy of tho University Members or tho Willlamaport Club hnvo found on anal) zing costa that they had been living on thirty-three cents a day cacli for tho last four weeks This figure Is seven cents under the cost of fending members of the Chicago Health Department, Which wan reached alter an extensive Investigation nnd conferences of Chicago physicians nnd diet specialists. The Chicago schedule was fixed at ah experiment to show how low the cost of nourishing llvlnir could bo cut. But for A month, tho Wllllamiiport Club members say. they have been KCttlnif fat oh tho fare which coats them thirty-three cents each a day. The fifteen students who hfuo offered to undergo the test nfter preliminaries are arranged are members of the AVIIllnmspott Club, an organisation ot students whose homes nre In Willlamaport, Pa They rented a house nt 3151 Walnut street when the UnUerilty opened this tall and decided to see what could bo done tow ant livinr cheaply. MKATj FOR EMTVIW CHKTS They succeeded so well that an audit of tho club's books shows eleven cents has been the cost of each meal during tho last four weeks. Negotiations nro under way with Dr. Alonzu 12. Taylor, professor of philological chemistry ut tho University of Pennsyhnnln, and Dr. Simon N. Patten, professor ot political economy, to see wheth er tho club members cannot bent tho Chi cago diet squad by ten cons or moro and continue to live comfortably Doctor Taylor hns directed several tests, somo of them for the tSovernment, to determine tho effect of copper nnd tin containers on persons who eat food cauti'd in them. It Is Doctor Taylor who will arrange the menu for tho student test. Tho experiment will be under the direction of Doctor Taylor nnd Doctor Pntlen Oio Is intfrcMid l it from tho viewpoint of an economist. Tha club members will be pledged to eat nothing but the food served thenvat their house. Tests to determine the effect ot the nett diet on their weight nnd other physical Condi tlons Induced by the changes will be mads under Doctor Taylor's supervision. When tho club members found they were beating the Chicago diet squad so easily without planning for It, they began to read the exploits of the squad with considerable amusement. CU1CAOO StEj; OVEtlCHAnrJED The general belief among tha students living on the thlrty-threc-cent diet Is that the Chicago victims aro not getting their moneys worth. At thirty-three cents, the club members nay, they are eating much better food than tho Chicago squad, with n good deal nt scientific advice, Is getting for fprty. W. Uenson Hnrrer, a sophomore med ical student, has chnrgo ot feeding his fel low members of the Willlamsport club. Ho bad no experience In tho work until the club wns started two months ngo. Ho and B J. l.ogue, a Junior dentistry student, have been appointed to represent the club in arranging with Doctor Tujlur and Doctor Patten for the test here. When Doctor Taylor has assembled some sample diets Hnrrcf and I.ogue will take them back to the club Tor adoption after Doctor Taylor has explained the. Idea to the melnbers. Then as Won na the club members have given Doctor Taylor as suranc that tho tests vlll be conducted according to schedule the experiment begins. Harier. I.ogue and the other club Mitn beis sniffed contemptuously oh reading that tho beet the Chlcngoana' forty cents bus Is chopped beef, boiled rice, carrots and pot roast, SCOIIN" For CHICAGO MfcS'U "W eat roast beef and chicken," Harrer said, showing his bills to prova It. "Wo never had chopped beef yet. 1 notice there are no eggs on tho Chicago breakfast raomi. Their I, cites Beem to be mostly carrots and bean soup. V hab eggs for brenk fast ery morning nnd fish cakes, kiJnoj stew and potatoes for lunch. And at that we nto beating them by seven cents." Harrer nnd his clubmates hunted up the records of somo of tho menu they hao been eating lately tor thlrty-thrco cents a dny. Tor breakfast they hno Btmvcd fruit, oatmeal and a choice of patent cereals, two eggs any way they pleas, roffeo nnd fre quently hot muffins. Thoso ho like may drink Cocoa Instead nt coffee. I This ono of their tjplcal lunches: Vege table soup, mndo from n real soup bone; hamburg steak, linked potatoes, canned peas, coffee or milk and canned peaches. Dlnnor menus often list roast pork, mashed potatoes, canned string bcftln, cof fee anil tea, baked macaroni, baked npplo dumplings, Tho only ndinntago Harrer takes in his buying for tho club table Is that the canned foods ore purchased In quantities lit wholesale rates. Everything elso comes from the corner groceries and butcher tores, Tho club members who will tindorgo tho test If the diet Is eatlsfaotftry nra W. Den ami Harrer, R J. I.ogue, Karle Mortimer, It. tv.

Doctor Taylor nnd Doctor Patten met yes'crday and discussed tho plan with a Mow to arranging the experiment It was decided that Doctor Taylor would Investi gate tho (lUeitlou of low-priced though patatablo nourishment and get together n list ot foods which would bo placed on the club menu. "Above all thlhgs the food must ha nour- lulling and pnlntnble," Doctor Taylor said "! would be useless to arrangn nnd advo cate a diet that no ono would cat. The value ot the experiment lies In determining a diet that will be as good as anything cater now, yet served nt n lower coot." This expressed Doctor Patten's views also.

Man for man and perhaps even man for two men they will hold their own anywhere, anytime, yet they comprise the federal government's only soldier safeguard of a hundred million people. Then there is another army! It wears no uniform, marches to no bugle or drum-beat. One hundred and Bixty thou sand strong it is men and women who are serving under the blue and white em blem of Bell Telephone Service, bound to gether by the traditions of a scant forty years, but traditions that do not show a losing fight when there has been a real public service to perform. The Philadelphia "regiments" of this army, 6000 strong, are always ready operators, linemen, ac countants, clerks ready for fair weather or foul, a storm, a flood, a conflagration, or any devastating factor that places on theso employes an added re sponsibility that must be met with a grin and a will ing hand. Thepublio's army it is reaching into every nook and corner of the country, 160,000 strong this soldiery of Bell Service, each standing shoulder to shoulder with the others in the rendering of a service that shall not only meet but anticipate the public will and requirement, a. service that shall measure the importance of little things as well as great.
