COMMERCE BODY WILL
HEAR P. R. T. ENGINEER
Chamber Wants Further Discus
sion on Transit Before Taking
Stand on Question
The Chamber of Commerce has decided
to have one mom hearing before Its p lb
He utilities committee before taklnir nnv
I definite position for or ngaliit the terms
or rnc irnnsit lease as offered to the city
by the Philadelphia ltapld Transit Com
pany. The publlo utilities committee Iioh al
ready heard the views of Transit Director
Twining and Colonel Sheldon Potter, one
of tho city's three representatives on the
board of directors of the transit company ;
both are opposed to the present lease, In
addition, former Transit Director Taylor
has explained his defense of the leaso to
the executive committee of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Tle committee wishes to hear one more
man before taking any position That man
Is A. L. Drurnrn, consulting englncor for
the Philadelphia ltapld Transit Company.
Mr. Drumm has been asked to address the
coinmltten next Friday afternoon Hut since
the (lrst of a series of Councllmanlc hear
ings on transit will be held Friday after
noon, and Mr. Drumm Is scheduled to ap
pear at that hearing. It Is expected that tho
committee will have to fix some other dale
for tho forisultlng engineer of the transit
company.
It became Miowii today that nn Interest
ing situation had developed as ths result
nf the letter of Charles L. Iluck, president
of the Northwest limitless Mcu'h Associa
tion, to Coventor Hruinbaugh. asking tho
Covet nor to defer action on the Stern bill,
which passed third reading on it special or
der at Harrlsbtirg last Monday night. This
bill validates the $67,1 00,000 port and
transit loan, and Is designed to offset the
suit brought by Krank W, limk, biotlier of
Charles Kluck. to declare this loiin Illegal
Transit experts say thnt If Charles I
I'luck had not been ignorant of legislative
procedure he would not have made such a
request of (inventor Hruinbaugh They
pointed out that any bill becomes a law ten
das after It has passed both branches of
tho Legislature whether or not It Is jlgncd
by Hie Governor So nothing can slop the
Stern bill from becoming a law next Thurs
day unless the Coventor vetoes the measure

IN 5 YEARS WHAT?
Your teeth arc sound today, but are you insuring them against time?
Today's neglect means toothache tomorrow perhaps painful operations,
perhaps the loss of a tooth.
Better arrange today to make that long-postponed visit to the dentist.
Better decide today on a dentifrice which is both safe and efficient.
What should you expect of a dentifrice? First, that it cleanse, and cleanse
pleasantly. Second, that it be free from sharp crystals which scratch and
wear away the enamel. Third, that its makers refrain from making
impossible "germicidal" claims.
S. S. White Tooth Paste conforms to all three requirements. It is a
pure, wholesome, non-medicated cleanser, deliciously flavored and as
pleasant to use as it is efficient. '
