Director Wilson has been assured that the bill will be rushed through tho Legislature and re colvo the approval of the Governor, so that the city will bo selling foodstuffs In the congested districts of tho city within soveral weeks. "I think $50,000 will be suniclent, but every dollnr of this sum can bo used nt once to buy food. Every department of city work will be aked to cn-opernto with tho Department of Supplies to furnish automn biles and men needed to transport food from -docks and freight stations to the various food depots There will bo no overhead charges and the $110,000 can be used as long ns there Is need. It can be turned over and over again. "Wo have been assured that there will bo no dlflleulty In getting food at the sources of supply. Producers will ship directly to tho city ns soon as we are ready for them. As soon ns tho hill passes, Councils can appropriate tho $50,000 at once to the Department of Supplies " The promised rollef has halted tho dis orders In tho pooter districts nf tho city. For tho first time In nlmost a week there were no serious demonstrations and no arrests In the downtown sections today. The leaders of the boycotting women, how ever, still Insist that thero will be a march to City Hall very soon, although they havo announced no deflnlto plans. JONES STORAGE BILL OPPOSED In addition to the measure for tho Im mediate relief of tho food situation there Is much discussion on the cold storage measure Introduced In tho Legislature by Senator E. E. Jones, of Susquehanna Coun ty. Officials and food experts declare that such a law would provo a public Injustice. "Tho Jones bill," said T)lrector Wilson, "Is nothing moro than tho sweeping away of all restrictions on cold storage If tho bill passes, tho storago men, their nllles among bankers and the food gamblers will bo In great glee. A law fixing a year as tho limit meanH nothing but an extension of the Held of gambling In foods." Prof Charles II. LaWall, chemist for the Pennsylvania Dairy and Food Depart ment, who is also a member of tho faculty of the Philadelphia Collego of Pharmacy, and Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, professor of physiological chemistry nt tho University, both noted experts on the subject of food stuffs, say that tho measure will not pro tect the consumer aH effectively as the pres ent law, which limits tho time of keeping articles In cold btorngo to eight months. The proposed bill, which has been refeircd to tho Committee on Public Health and Sanitation, along with two other measures dealing with the question of food, would extend the tlmo limit to ono car. PROFESSOR LA'WALL'S VIEW Professor La Wall said: I fall to rco wherein tho proposed act would benefit tho public In any way. Tho definition of cold storago is so dif ferent from that under tho present act that much Injustice to' tho consuming public would result. For Instance nn article of food under tho definition of this act would have to be In storage for thirty days or more In order to bo denominated cold storago and by the terms of tho bill all articles lield for less period than this time nt th" above-named tempeiaturo (to or below a temperature nbovo zero to 34 degrees Fahicnhelt) are entitled to tho term fresh. Do you think that the consumer of eggs would bo willing to take a twenty-nine-day-old egg ns a fiesh egg? Yet this bill legalizes such a piocedure. I am not In favor of condemning as unfit for food an artlclo which Is wholesome, even though It may havo exceeded the time limit, but any bill providing for nn extension of tho tlmo limit (now eight months on most articles) should havo moro protection ngalnst unwholesomeness of the food than this bill affords. Tho wIfo provision of tho present law, which provides for tho plain mark ing of each packago of cold storage food as sold to the consumer. Is miss ing In this bill, and in Its placo Is u requirement that tho bulk stock dis played for retail shall havo a placard prominently displayed. What protec tion Is this to the consumer who bends a servant who is careless or cannot read or a child to tho store, or who orders foods by telephone, as so many do now? If this bill Is to have nn extension of the time limit over the present bill. It should also retain tho present method of notifying tho purchaser, and In the case of eggs should navo tho require ment of tho present New York city law that! each egg be plainly stamped with the date when It was placed In storage. What we need first of all Is a na tional storage act and then It will bo time to alter and amend our State act bo as to bring It In harmony with the national act Professor La Wall's opinion regarding the measure was heartily approved by Doctor Taylor, who said: "Experience with the present cold storago law has Indicated that whllo not perfect In Us operation It, on tho whole, protects the Interests of the consumer without In juring the producer. "In my opinion tho proposed measure would not protect the consumer as effect ively as does tho present law," TODAY'S MARRIAGE LICENSES L. Kdnar Turner. 1"01 N. 63J St., and Florenc Mitchell. Ht.

Senator and Mrs. I.aFontaino fled from ItelRlum two weeks nfter tho war bejjan But they know all tho lnddn happening nnd the true happenings, according to Mrs I. a Fontaine, who told with pride of the "Tho Most IrroBUlnr-llenular Paper In the World," the I.lbio HelBlTie, which has been published every week sinco tho war began, nnd which Is ono of tho deepest mysteries of tho European war. 'We do not know who wroto It, or who writes It No ono knows Germany has offered a reward of $10,000 for appre hension of tho writers, nut the IlclRians aro too clever," she said with a wan smile "Tho paper comes out every week.

Senator La Fontaine when talking of his card catalogue said. "It Is a wonderful thing to find out that all science and art are not tho result of tho achievements of ono nation, but of the whole world. We find that thero Is no thing In the world today which Is not tho combi nation of the brains of many nations. Take tho automobile, the telephone even a lead pencil. We find that they might have been suggested by one person or ono nation, but the perfected articles come from many na tions.' The same Ideas are discussed every where during many periods." Both the Senator and his wlfo talk French, German, English nnd Dutch. They both read Spanish and Italian and know a smattering of several other languages. They will bo at tho home of Doctoi Leldy for tho weok. The Senator Is giving a series of lectures before the law school at tho University of Pennsylvania. They say they feel nt home In Philadelphia be cause they met many Phlladelphlans and were royally entertained here In 1904, when they attended the Peace Conference here. Both have been prominently connected with the International movement, the annual con iference which was to have been held at the Panama-Paclflo Exposition, but was prevented by the European war.

SIX MORE SNOWS DUE, MOKEMACHER THINKS Famous Unofficial Weatherman Scouts Lack of U. S. Fore caster's Information Thrrc once was a curious (Juaer, Who icns far from bcltip a faker; lie could tell you with ease All the weather's degrees, For ha Is the prophet ilokemacher. Might as well know It now thero's going to be six more snows this winter. Who said so? Well, not tho weather man. Ho doesn't know. We called him today nnd asked the sim ple question: "How many more snows are we going to have this winter?" Thoro was a gasp; then a gurgling sound as though ho wero over coming indignation. Ho was not plensed by tho question "Nobody alive can tell that," ho said There wni a semblance of pain In his voice. "You'll have to go to to go to Heaven." ho added, "to find that out." But wo didn't havo to do any such thing Living quietly In n little green house In tho suburbs of Manayunk Is old Simeon Mokemacher His homo Is even more cozy than his little nook In Andalusia or his erst while home In th "Neck." Thither we went to learn of futuro snows, nnd ho was equal to the emergency. Simeon had no patience when ho heard of the weatherman's Utter falluro to slzo up to the situation. "Ho couldn't tell yo. eh?" ho muttered, "wot Is ho pai! foi eh? He's sposed ter havo all thcr latest thomcters, an' charts, an' other fancy claptrap fer tellln' 'bout ther rains an' thcr snows, but wot do hex know nuthln'." Mokemacher paused In his wrath to size up tho visitor "Ve want ter know Jlst now many snows wo'ro goln' ter have " Simeon shuffled over toward an old hair trunk In tho corner of tho kitchen Ho pulled down a tattered shade on tho window nearby so that pas sershy couldn't spy In on him nnd then Jerked tho trunk from the corner Behind tho trunk was a small rusty door in tho wall Mokemacher opened tho door and thrust nn nrm Into tho dark aperture, which onco had been an old fireplace. He drew out n rusty box about a foot square opened It nnd brought to view a long amber stemmed pipe. It was more than a foot In length and was topped off by a pyra-mldal-shaped bowl. Simeon held tho pipe near tho gleaming coals of a very healthy looking stove. Thero he saw that tho pipe's stem was veined with nzuro blue streaks "Let me sec," he muttered, "thero bo Just six of 'em, ho we're going ter havo Jlst six more snows this here winter" The old prophet trudged over to a calen dar on tho wall and looked closely at the big block figures as though they might verify his prediction Simeon took another look at the pipe ns he adjusted his steel rimmed glasses. He noticed that the bowl, too, had assumed a bluish tinge. "Every blue streak on the stem," he paid, "means a snowstorm, an' when tho bowl Is a light ish bluo It's a snow Jlst as suro as yer alive." "How long have you had the pipe, Simeon?" Inquired tho visitor. "Huh, that pipe's alluz been In the Moke macher family," said Simeon, as he gazed at tho relic with reverence. "I ,'member It when I wuz a youngster, an' me gran'dad said ho 'membered It when ho was a kid, too." "Where did It 'come from?" "Why, that ere pipe came" But Just then the baker knocked nt the door nnd left tho bread, and we couldn't get Simeon to say moro.

Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard Tho tenet particularly under scrutiny reads as follows: "Wo believe that mankind would get along better than It does now If It wero positively known that tho heaven of reve lation has been liurnt nnd hell quenched." Tho Itev. Dr. Samuel Vernon, of the Meth odist Episcopal Church nnd professor of theology at Tcmplo University, laughingly remarked: "When wo read things like this from tho pen of Doctor Eliot we bay, 'Oh, that's Eliot" then we laugh and don't think much moia about It We placo EUot In a class with Russell, barring the fact "that Mr Eliot Is an honest man. Mr. Eliot rep resents Just n small portion of tho Unl tailan Church, nnd the L'nltailan belief represents n very smalt percentage ot the world's faith. Wo do not exploit hell. Wo merely try our best to keep people out ot Its clanger." Tho Itcv Dr. Geoigo G. Ilenson, super intendent of tho southern division of the Mothodlt Episcopal Church, said he dis tinctly did not believe the world would bo better off without promise nt lewnrd or punishment. ,"Tho penal code," ho con tinued, "specifies punishment for certain offenses and children arc puillshed In school. This law of retribution must be In the spiritual as well as in tho temporal life." Tho Itev. Itufus C. Zartman, of tho Heidelberg Reformed Chinch, Nineteenth and Oxford streets, was very much nmused. He remarked: "Tho longer somo people live, the less they seem to know ; take Methuse lah, ho lived 900 years and ho didn't havo senre enough to run Into tho ark nnd get out of tho rain." Tho Itev. E. P. La P.ose. president of the Ministerial Association of tho Reformed Churches, sald that he had always had re tpect for gray hairs, but that he guessed what tho Rev. Mr. Znrtman said was also his opinion. Tho Rev. J. M. Iscnberg. pastor of tho Trinity Reformed Church, Broad nnd Ve nango streets, declared that when Charles W Eliot spoko on religious matters ho foiled to listen. Incidentally, he remarked that ho wasn't Interested in "trash." What's Doing Tonight Sons of Delaware, Ladles' Night, fi.45 o'clock, Hotel Rlttenhouse. Invitation.

' I EDUCATION BOARD REPLIES TO GR1 'i, Henry It. Edmunds AnaVvs Manufacturer's Attack on Child Labor Law i DEFENDS ITS PURPOS Believes Continuation Schools, Whl Not Perfect, Serve Good End Henry B, Edriunds, ' president of th v Board of Education, replied today to th ' nttnek made upon the nubllo schools m-'h eertly by Joseph It Grundy, president ofj me Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Assocla- tlon. Mr, Grundy, speaking nt a dinner of the Rwnrthmore Club of Philadelphia, rldl culed tho child labor law, pointed to de-,' .. "tin wnicn no saia exisieo in mo aamin , n Istrntlon of continuation schools, formed w linrlftr ftinr Inur tn nriwIA 1natmf.fitn ffn Juvenile workers. . "Mr. Grundy seems to hnve little arm- Wj pathy with the continuation schools," saldiSsSc .... j.umuimi, arm ni n. mailer oi iBctf. wnen the child labor law was passed th lioara or Education was not at all pleased. SS The new act charged the nubllo school y "' tern with duties that It had rierer beiof performed, added to the city's educational expenses and caused confusion and the. necessity of adjusting tho system to new requirements. "But the law haB been passed, and we now feel that It Is a good one. Its enforce merit has naturally Involved many dlf. Acuities; all new laws mean new trouble. But theso troubles aro worth while over coming, "Mr. Grundy says that the schools ar teaching children to despise Industry, I think that ho Is governed by misapprehen sions In that respect. I think that we arej not only not making children look down on honest labor, but that, on the contrary, w are preparing them for Industry as w never did before, "Tho Stato has begun to realize that Its tnteresta lie not only In eradicating Illiter acy, but that It Is its business to train the) Indvldual for tho occupation which he Is tat fill. "Germany learned that' lesson Ion uro, nnd we have begun to learn from her. Whatever else may be wrong with the , German system of government and educa tion, Gormany succeeds In preparing its young citizens for industrial life. Hence, Germany's Industrial efficiency. "The continuation school Is a Teuton Idea. And I feel that eventually we will npply that Idea as successfully as Germany has done. The continuation school may not be a success now, but In the course' of time it will. I say to Mr. Grundy that per haps we have not yet proved the child labor law to be a success, but 1 ask him to gtr us time. Experience will show Just ho-r valuable a. law It Is, and how well the publlo schools can adjust themselves to It" Spain Commandeers Flour MADRID, Feb. 27.
