HARMONY, TRIGG'S
IDEA KOR CHAMBER
v New President of Commerce
-igHH isoara Jiopes to unity
Mr- All Efforts
; FOR PORT UPBUILDING
i
Harmonv will bo llie tilan of 12rne.it T
Trigg, new president of Urn Chamber of
Commerce, for making that body nn active
Influenco for progress In Philadelphia.
' And to tbo consummation of lilft plan to
maKe- tho Chamber be of real service to
Philadelphia Mr. Trigg Intends to be tho
i "greatest lltllo listener" tho Chamber of
Commerce lias ever possessed. Ho said at
much this morning when asked just ex
actly what ho contemplated during his term
Mr. Trigg Is young for such a job. Ho Is
, thirty-nine. ,
"I Irnvo not yet had lime." he said, "to
familiarize myself with many of the prob
lems. But I will say that It would be n
fine thing to have all tho business organi
sations working together. ( want to see
alt tho organizations, tho Chestnut Street
Business Men's Association and the Walnut
Street Association .ind other kindred bodies
all presenting a solid phalanx: and putting
their shoulders together to tho wheel '
"1 think." ho continued with evident sin
cerity, "that by means like tills we can
tnako tho Influence of the Chamber felt
sti-onger In the city and mako It known as
A forco riot only, In the State, but In the
nation. We have to have harmony, unit to
that end I want tho business men's associa
tions and others to conio'lo us with their
problems. 1 will seo that they nro taken'
cflro of and will not be pigeonholed.
"IVhllo I do not cue ns yet to commit
myself to any tnnns, I might sav that the
development of the port will bo barked
by tho Chamber of t'ommerce. I want to
seo the port of Philadelphia put back In
the foremost position It once held '
Mr. Trigg paused for a moment lefote
emphasizing his next point. "It Is neces
sary," he said, "to have co-operation be
tween the newspapers and the Chamber. Wo
need their nld In extending our Influence."
Mr Trigg's alms are primarily to hac
the Chamber of t'ommerce take up a few
big projects nt a time ami seo that they
are pushed through. Instead of scattering
the efforts of the body oxer a wide Held
And accomplish little.
When the movement was launched to re
organize the local Chamber of Commerce
two years ago, Mr. Trigg was most active
among those ofllcers of tho Merchants and
Manufacturers' Association who sought to
enroll all the members of their associa
tion In the reorganized chamber. Ho was
elected a director of the Chamber of Com
merce In t9l5 and a. few months ' later
Tresldent fliarles J. Cohen appointed hhn
to tho executive committee. Ho was
elected to a four-year term on the board
of directors last January and was reap
pointed to tho executive committee by Presi
dent Howard B. French.
Last year he was elected chairman of tho
new members' council of the Chamber,
and his administration of tho olllce served
to enlist tho Interest of many members In
the work of the trade body Tho monthly
meetings of tho members' council generally
result in beneficial discussions of matters
of public Interest.
EXPLAINS WHY PRAYER
IS ANSWERED SLOWLY
S. D. Gordon Tells Garrick Theatre
Audience God Waits Until Time
Is Full
S. D. Cordon continued his 'Quiet Hour
Talks" nt tho fiarrlck Theatre toduv. His
topic -was, "Why It Taken So Long for
Prayer to fhange Things-" Mr. Cordon
- said In part:
"There's a waiting time sometimes be
tween the first praying and the full answer.
But there's always a purpose In It
"There's u reason for everything Cod
does or 'doesn't do or waits In doing. And
It's always a reason of tender love Wo aro
thinking about the thing we're asking. So
Is the Father. But He's thinking about us,
too. And He cares most about us though
Ho never forgets tho thing lie thinks of
the thing because we .want It.
"In tho long ago there was a vvoinuii
named Hannah. She had no sou Natu
rally, she longer for a son. For, bolng a
Hebrew woman, she was taught that her
son might be her nation's deliverer
"She prayed for n son. That was all aha
thought of a son In hei arms and then
growing up
".But Coil wanted and she needed some
thing more; a leader of tho nation There
were no leaders. Worso yet, thero were no
men to make leaders out of.
"Worse yet, there were no women through
whom might cumu men that might bo
trained for leadership
'That's the lowest level a nation over
reaches, when Its women fail. It's tho high
est that fall lowest This Jewess had In
her the making f tho woman through
whom might Lome the man Cud needed.
But she must be changed before sho could
be used Most people do dr. shall l cut out
that 'most'? We all need ohang.ng.
"And so the waiting time came, it may
have been years. But out of it came a new
woman, with cle.u, broad vision; with a,
tenderer heait, with u will strong enough
to bend.

According to circumstantial reports, llip heads of tin' Trench mmies
nre now concentrating tlicir men and fiiergios lot a tremendous drive
against the German lines in Alsace uml Lorraine to open as hoot) ns
favorable weather sets in. The l'rcnch are making preparations behind
their front virtually all tho way from Verdun to the Swiss border. To
aid the French in carrying out these plans tho British lecently took
over n further section of the French lino extending from tho River
Sommc to a point not named, but believed to be Soismiiii. The British
previously held the sector extending only from Yptes to the Sotnme
about 100 miles long. The readjustment will give them between lfiO and
'J00 miles of front to hold. Alcnntimc, Switzerland is much diatuibed by
rumors of possible invasions of her territory and is saitl to be par
ticularly in fear of a Herman attempt to outllank the French by swing
ing around the French right wing in southern Alsace through Swiss
territory.

No matter how great the cry for cars,
car shortage can never affect Armour. Your
daily food supply is assured.
Long ago, Armour and Company fore
saw that car shortages would occur that at
times the sustenance of the nation might be
imperiled.
And realising their responsibilities as a great
public utility, Armour and Company met the
situation in advance by building a line of
refrigerator cars, which would be under
Armour's ownership and control at all times.
This has meant a tremendous investment.
But, as a result, though seventy per cent
of the people live east of the Mississippi,
while the bulk of livestock is raised in the
central west, Armour is able to assure both a
regular supply ta consumers and an ever
ready market to producers.

Thus, equipped to deliver foods rapidly,
systematically and with absolute certainty,
Armour can say to the farmer: "Send us your
cattle, hogs and sheep as fast as they are ready for
market we will buy from you at any time."
In no other way could Armour continue
to accept trainload after trainload of stock
at a score of plants throughout the country.
And without a ready market, producers
woidd become discouraged, fewer cattle
would be raised, and you would either eat less
meat,.QC pay infinitely more for it.
As Armour foresaw present conditions
and prepared for them, so is Armour today
planning to meet other conditions, which may
arise in the distribution of foods years hence.
And with this in mind, it can be no more
than good judgment on your part to direct
that Armour meats and Armour products be
served at your home table regularly.
