Bird Reveals Spring's Presence
Spring Is surely here, according to pass
ersby, who heard yesterday tlio notes of a

In Rittcnhouse Square. It was thought at

It was finally IdentlHed by a bird lover as
a hermit thrush, whoso song Is similar. The
hermit thrush passes through this section
on Its way North about Mny 1, and Its
'presence is considered to be a. sure har
binger of genuine spring weather, balmy
winds and sunny skies.

REV. A. T. MICHLER
QUITS HIS PULPIT
Pastor of Evangelical Lutheran
Church Resigns Disagreed
With Board
The I'.ev Aitliur T Michlcr. pa-tor of
tho KvaiiKelic.il Lutheran Church of the In
carnation, Fotly-i-pvcutli stiect and Cedar
avenue, has announced his resignation.
To many In tho congiegatlou the an
nouncement came as a complete mil prise.
Tlio leasou given by tlio minister was
"lack of proper understanding which ought
to picvail in the admlnlsMalion of the
chinch "
Mnn wealthy people ale lin. luded in the
congiegatlou. which is one of the most In
fluential chin ihes In West Philadelphia. The
minister Is very popular with younger mem
bers of tho congiegatlou. His work with
the young people. It Is s-aid. has amused tlio
lie of ceitaln Incinbcis of the church board,
wlio felt It was taking time that should ho
devoted to other chunii activities. Another
explanation given Is that hi- stuik too
closely to the lllble In his Sunday evening
sermons, anil did not devote the time to
topics of the day, which other clergymen
havo been doing.
Thousands of Homes Will Bo Af
fected by the In
crease The price of bread Jumped fiom five
to six cents a loaf today in the 1200 "chain
stores" throughout tho city. Thousands of
homes It Is said, will be affected hy tho In
crease. An Increase to seven and eight
cents n loaf has been predicted.
Tho "chain stores.- who recently com
bined, nro the last to boost the price to six
cents. Ileglnnliig last October, every largo
baking establishment In the city lidded a
cent to tho prhe of the onlliiaiy bread loaf.
Tho "chain stoics" alone held out nod con
tinued to sell at five cents.
Several rmmi" are glvcm for the In
crease. Tho main leason Is said to bo tho
Increased cost of Hour, tlio best glades of
which now lost $11 a bairel, ne.uly twice
as -much as last jcar. Labor conditions
also uie given as factors.
Samuel Itoblnson, president of tho Ameri
can Stoles Company, said there was no
way out of the illtllculty except to 1 1 urge
sK cents. "Fiom Is selling for what might
be let mod a fabulous amount." he said
"Wo sold bie.ul for flic tents ns long was
we could. Having to reduce the sire of the
loaf or to lale the pi lie, wo decided to
raiso tlio pi Ice."
