FIREMEN SHOW METTLE
AT GIMBEL BLAZE
Heroism Equal to . Emergency
When Flames Menace Large
Business District
As a result of the heroic labors pel formed
by the men of Chief Mutphy's command,
the fire In tho Glmbel warehouse was pre
xentcd from eating Its destructive way
across a considerable, section of the city
with an appetite whetted by biting cold and
a drhlng wind,
As a Hccondatj result of that herculean
task successfully performed, several mem
bers of tho already depleted fire-flghtlng
force of the city of Philadelphia are In hos
pitals or Incapacitated from duty today.
There Is no one available to supply their
places with their companies, which for the
most part arc located within the zone known
' as tho "(Ire belt." for tlm city does not
maintain nty list of substitutes and there
Is no emergency fund from which Chief
Murphy may draw to hlie the needed men
to equip bis buteau,
This situation has been made known to
City Councils by the chief in his annual
report, by the firemen themselves in their
campaign for more equitable hours and
proper paj hy numerous petitions bearing
the signature of virtually every business
man on Chestnut and Market streets, tho
insurance men of Philadelphia and, finally,
ly the wives and children of the firemen.
To these appeals of the practical mer
chant, the calculating bioker. the depen
dent, and to all other arguments the mem
bers of Councils have replied by a sllenco
that Is eloquent In Its contrast to tho re
sponse of the firemen on Saturday when
the warehouse flro menaced a coodly por
tion of the western Market street business
(tctlon.
At rlfk of life and llmli these underpaid
and o envoi ked servants of a city that
has long borno tho brand of "corrupt and
contented" carried frozen hosellnes up ice

troled the lilazlng Interior of the building
In search of Imprisoned emploj'es until
their own peril became so imminent that
they were obliged to leap for life Into
blankets or nets held by tholr fellows on
the streets.
Expressions of sympathy and approbation
of their bravery have been received by the
firemen from citizens who witnessed their
desperate and victorious battle, and many
persons who reallzo now, as never before,
the Justice of the firemen's claim to a tale
ef pay nt least ccpial to the salary given
to a City Hall messenger or elevator oper
ator, have so expressed themselves In
letters to the officials of tho buteau
Many of theso sjmpath zers learned to
day for tho first time. also, that Philadel
phia does not pay Its injured flienien, even
though disabled In performance, of their
duty The medical attendance furnished
. is charged to the fireman himself, whether
H cornea from his family physic an or hos

It owes its origin has been forgotten, nnd

HOME, SWEET HOME;
IS IT OBSOLETE OR NOT?
Feminists Say It Has Passed.
Conservatives and Divorce
Experts Contradict
Hy M'LISS
The home? Ancient Institution; How
much longer Is It to be with us?
Feminist declaim loudly that it should
go If woman is to develop. Conservatives
moan loudly that It should stay, but that It
Is going so fast that If somebody doesn't
come forward and save It It will have
passed nvvny before we know It
Some leformera suggest that the Stale
step In and assume charge of the children
nnd tho kitchen ; others advise that woman
bo forced back from her tjpewrltcr to the
cook stove and cradle. Miss Tiera Farrow
demands that women lellnqulsh their Ideals
Instantly and uncqulvocallj.
Miss Farrow Is Kansas Cltj-'s first woman
divorce proctor. I'nlinppy homes, their
causes and remedies, are her specialty
From a comprehensive observation of the
way people ruthlessly tear down their house
hold gods and throw them to the dogs or
the four winds, she has declared against
ideals, because nine times out of ten ideals,
particular the kind that women vision, are
the false, romantic sort that crumble to the
ground when compared with a real concrete
man,
IDKAI.S THAT WITHKlt
'Because women dream of movie heroes
with wavy hair and caressing ejes as
mates," MJss Farrow said, "they decide
marriage Is a failure when their plumber
or carpenter husbands prove commsnplace
"Because her Ideal of married life, born
of novel reading, as a rose garden of love,
does not come true, the young wife grows
discontented and falls to make a success
of her Job as a homemaker.
"Of com ae the fault Is not all with the
woman In perhaps the greater number
of unsuccessful marriages tho men are to
blame, but there would be many more
happy homes If girls were brought up with
less romantic Ideas."
It's a curious thing about women that
just so soon as they fall In love their
mind's ej-e refuses to co-ordinate with their
body's ee. The object of their affection
may be possessed of a bald head, a girth
measuring forty-five Inches and no chin nt
all. He may use snuff and wear a celluloid
collar and yet to the lovelorn one be Is
a combination of Adonis. Apollo Belvedere
and James K. Hackett rolled Into one. In
short, he Is 11 being made to serve as an
Ideal nnd poor fellow, though ho may do
his level best to fill the bill, If the awaken
ing ever comes there's a smash. And that's
how the divorce proctor gets her statistics.
The Ideal, to quote the lexicographer. Is
"the standard of perfection, beauty, moral
or physical excellence: a perfect tjps
whether a icality or a conception qnly."
Most women nnd nil men cherish ideals
Hut whereas, given the creature comforts, a
man can philosophically reconcile his ideal
with an Individual who sometimes indulges
In curl papers and often smears her nose
with cold cream, a woman's romantic visions
are apt to totter at the too frequent sight
of an unshaven chin and a tousled head,
MODEIIN XOVEI.IHT DIFFERENT
Time was when most novels stopped at
the nltar. Wise nuthorsv conscious of their
dependence on the woman reader, refused
to budge their heroes and heroines one step
beyond the hj'meneal shrine. To have truth
fully portrayed the events succeeding the
ceremony. Ihey felt, would hav been to
have administered at once a shattering blow
to the old adage, "They lived harplly ever
afterward."
Modern novelists are braver and more
cynical. They start their heroes and
heroines nt tho altar and show, unromantl-callj-,
how. In the majority of cases, mar
riage doesn't, or almost doesn't, work
But despite tho disenchanting activity of
the modern novelist, does nnjbody take him
seriously? Do marriage statistics fall off
as a result 6f his pessimistic revelations?
Do girls cease to marry their fascinating
Ideals? They do not. Miss Farrow has her
divorce figures to prove It.

HOW much do you know? ' How much do you
earn? Are you above or below the line of
4 average-intelligence, average-income ' ' ?
If you are keeping step with Twentieth-century progress, you realize
that you must know more and more every day. And what you know must
be facts. Generalities don't help you out.
It is obvious that you can't accumulate all the knowledge you need by
traveling and talking to others nor can you carry in your head all you
want to know outside your own personal experiences. Therefore, the new
Britannica is indispensable to you
BECAUSE it deals with life and civilization and progress
in the broadest sense. Its scope is universal comprising
the sum and substance of human thought and activity. It
covers everything under the sun and the sun itself.
This great library of knowledge consisting of 30,000 pages teeming with facts and
information is the work of 1500 master minds, the world's foremost experts m every
line. Its contents are too comprehensive to be adequately described here. Sufficient
it is to say that the Britannica discusses in a way you can understand every branch of
science and industry, literature and art, religion and philosophy, invention, engineer
ing, history, biography, geography, geology, architecture, astronomy, law, botany,
education, electricity EVERYTHING.
The new Britannica is a book for men and women in all walks of life for the
millionaire as well as for the wage-earner, for the expert as well as the student, for
the clerk as well as for the merchant, for the bank president as well as for the bank
clerk for the home as well as the office. '
You probably have some idea of how useful the Britannica would be to you just
as its daily practical value is proved in the case of its 160,000 present owners.
Andrew Carnegie has said: "A half hour a day spent on a particular line of study is
the best investment any man can make."
WARNING!
Sets of the new Britannica printed on the. last genuine India, paper obtainable
are selling fast. No promise can be given as to how long the remaining sets will last.
Therefore we urge you to act immediately as the only way of getting the new Bri
tannica in the popular "Handy Volume" form, printed on genuine India paper. You
certainly want it in this, its most useful form.
India paper is the most wonderful, most useful paper made. It is light-weight, thin
and strong. Its use for the new Britannica was a near-miracle in book publishing, it
made it possible to put this great Library of all Knowledge in convenient form 29
compact volumes, requiring only 29 inches of shelf space.
And remember-when the sets now on tiapd are sold, no more, can be, fe.d printed on this
famous paper. Bocauoo war has entirely cut off tho supply of the special kind of flax necessary
to manufacture this beautiful paper. The flax is grown only in Great BriWn. BeWum and
Germany-flirf no more can be had. That's the who o story. . Realize how cm ily you can bu v this
tho world's greatest book of knowledge tho new Britannica, in the popular "Handy Volume form.
. . fc Whatever your business or profession,
You obtain tho entire set (29 vol- PM tho Britannica will increase your practical
umes) on a first payment of only- " knowledge along any "f-' 'nable
and vou pay theVlance in .mafl . tobe tf$JJ
monthly amounts averaging 10c H more successful,
a day (for the cheapest binding). aMU Do you say that you "can't afford It"?
Considering tho many advantages it offers you (and your family), can you afford nor to own it?
Considering the low price asked for the remaining sets of the Britannica printed on the famous
India paper, and tho easy-payment plan, can you afford not to own a set?
