VILLAGE TO BE BEEHIVE
It's ft City of Magic Philadelphia.
Ordinary little two-cylinder Imaginations
MiJt were good enough for anybody In the
'Sivi beforo the war have gone to the scrap
J.o now Lineal descendants bf the genial
uV Aladdin aro remaking the nation, and
takes a twin-six mind to understand
And here" a' new tale of the City of
M VoU can go to the City Hall and get on n
filing, rumbling yellow trolley car. rattle
?, Woodland avenue, down through the
it.adowe. across the southwestern edge of
Ji city limits Into Delaware County, past
ths swamps of the Government rifle range,
nd you're in Lester.
DEEHIVES OF INDUSTRY
Lester has a few hundred Inhabitants.
There's never been, much excitement there,
it's been a quiet little community like Es
iincton, a few rods beyond It.
But these nulet villages of yesterday
re the beehives of today. And so It
happens, that of all tho stupendously big
tilings that are being done In America
today, nono Is greater than tho work at
Leeter. It'8 'H6 n Panama Canal drama
Slaying a repeat performance.
You read so much. In these busy weeks,
that you rather get to thinking, "Oh 1 these
things aro all alike."
Due here is one thnt'p not "alike." Hero
Is- a factory plant worth $10,000,000, not
counting the land, that Is being put to
rether In a few months. Hero. Is nn en
terprlfc where tho slogan Is: "Speed! More
n.fd! And hang the expense!" Here
I a factory not yet built, that has orders
enough to rush I: tn capacity for four
years. Hero Is tho factory that will turn
cut all the turbines to run the Goethals
Beet of merchant shlpa that Is to break tho
fcack of tho Kaiser's submarine war.
ULTIMATELY Fort GOVERNMENT
Here Is a'mlll ynrd of a thousand ncres,
itretchlng a solid mile along tho Delawnre.
Here Is an enterprise that will glvo work to
15,000. Hero is tho beginning of a model
town that will houso 75,000. Here Is nn In
dustry that prophets say marks tho begin
ning of the most magnificent fleet tho world
has ever seen tho United States merchant
marine.
Now, as far as outward appearances go,
this hulking big business belongs to tho
Westlnghouso Electric and Manufacturing
Company, which Is famous alike for Its own
prowess in making electrical apparatus and
because of the "Wllllo Westinghouse" of the
Sunday comics. But as a matter of fact,
tho plant is Just about as much a Federal
Government proposition as tho navy yard at
League Island Is. The men "in tho know"
admit It.
Tho $10,000,000 beauty is being built
by Westinghouse, Church. Kerr & Co., a
iubsldlary of tho Westlnghouso Electric and
S1 Manufacturing Company. Ostensibly the
factory is to bo tho property of the main
Westlnghouso corporation. Dut It Is ad
mitted at tho plant that this Is only on the
surface that tho factory Is being built for
the United States Government on tho war
terms of, "cost plus 10 per cent." It Is
asserted that tho Federal Treasury will
pay Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co. out
of funds to be appropriated for the Goethals
merchant marine ships.
There Is doubt as to how the turbine
factory will be run, but tho belief Is that
It will be leased to the Westlnghouso Elec
tric by the Federal Government for opera
tion under Government direction. Plans for
retting workmen aro based on this con
clusion.' "They say," meaning Westinghouse offi
cials, that when tho War Department drafts
Its toldlers from tlje millions of men who
registered last week It will send to the
new factory enough men to make all of the
turbines that General Goethals needs for
his fleet. So they're not worried about get
ting men. They seem to know what they're
talking about.
The plan Is to start work on the first tur
bine a month from now and to finish It on
New Year's Day.
"How many can you make In a year?"
you ask tho Westinghouse people They
don't know. "A turbine a day would be
Ideal." they say, "but it Isn't probable."
Well, call it 200 a year. Each turblno
develops from 2000 to 3000 horsepower
force to drive "a ship of from 10,000 to
15.000 tons. Tho output, then, would ac
count for from 2,000.000 to 3,000,000 tons
of ships a year.
LESTER ALREADY HUMMING
Stand in the mlddlo of the Westinghouse
ground at Lester and as far ns your eyes
will reach Jou'll f-eo thousands of men,
busy as ants, digging and scraping and
driving nails and pounding rivets. You'll
see motortrucks humping around over the
hillocks; a dozen "dinky" engines pulling
along tiny railroads. You'll see a quartet
v of steam shovels that work under tho sun
v by day and under carbide lights at night,
ceaselessly chopping out dirt from the high
places and dumping It Into the swamps.
You'll see where two canals are being cut
In from the river; tho beginning of eight
miles of tunnels high enough for men to
, walk in; tho foundations of six or seven
huge structures that nre to bo factories.
, At one end you'll sec whero they're fin
ishing the first two buildings structures of
concrete and steel as spacious as the Wide
ner Building. For a mile to the south are
the hillocks and hummocks and the tireless
tollers that look Hko pygmies against the
yellow dirt. On tho horizon Is the blue rib
bon of the Delaware. And overhead you'll
hear the strumming motors of a covey of
airplanes craft from tho Esslngton school,
that dart over tho panorama like swift
blackbirds,
It Is Industry and It Is War two forces
united.

How Philadelphia's: patriotism Is likely to
suffer by comparison with other cities was
shown today In nn appeal Issued by Colonel
Charles A. P. Hatfield, t. S. A., retired,
army recruiting oillccr. It reads ns follows:
"t have learned that I' llarrlsliurg dis
trict has secured more than Ma quota (3417
men) for tho United States army. The
Philadelphia recruiting district, comprising
Philadelphia, Chester, Bucks, Delaware and
Montgomery Counties, known far "and wide
as tho city which was the birthplace of
liberty, should assume the lend In recruiting
for this State. I feel that if the piyip'e of
this district realize that a competing dis
trict like Harrlsburg Is outnumbering us in
responding to the colors they will rally
around their standard and place Philadel
phia In tho position It lias always occupied,
first and foremost all the time. Philadel
phia only needs a few more than a lono
men to fill out the quota of 404 4 men re
quired and I am determined that Philadel
phia shall far outstrip the number by Juno
30. by appealing to the youtn of this dls
trlct.to come forward and en. 1st and bring
Philadelphia to tho top."
More than fifty University of Pennsyl

DRUGGISTS REFUSE AID
IN ANTI-HEROIN CRUSADE
Philndclphinn Leads Move to
Keep Pharmaceutical Chem
ists From Acting
ATLANTIC f'lTY. N. J.. Juno 13.
A vigorous flllhiifcter, led by Charles
Henry, of Philadelphia, a past president of
the National lletall lrugglsts' Association,
and It C. Stofer. of Norwich, N. Y.. today
caused the American Association of Pharm
aceutical Chemists to shelve a recommenda
tion of the board of directors tn approve
tho plea nf II. K. Mulford, of Philadelphia,
for legislation forbidding the use of heroin
In medicinal preparations. Mr. Mulford
presented his plea Monday, when It was
warmly Indorsed.
Henry said he believed tho opponents of
heroin were working nlong money lines and
maintained that so far as drug manu
facturers and druggists were concerned
thero had been little to Justify the nnnoy
nnco and Inconvenience to which the trade
bad been subjected nn the score of narcotics.
Another plea against action on the com
mittee's recommendation was that there
cannot be any nnti-narcotlc legislation at
tills session nf Cnngress. II. V. Hnllldsy,
secretary nf the National Wholesale Drug
gists' Association, said the tremendous In
crenso in the use of heroin was due to
drastic enforcement of the law against
cocaine. Henry replied that the use of
cocaine is effectively controlled In Phila
delphia. REQUESTS TO CHARITY

DRAFT ARMY FIRST,
THENEXEMPTIONS
None Will Be Excused From
Service Until After Names
Are Drawn
TO SELECT LOCAL BOARDS
WASHINGTON. June 11.
There will be no exemptions from the
draft for the new lnlted States army un
til after all names have been drawn. This
was announced today ns the secret ad
visory board, consisting of lawyers. Jurists
and military men. considered plnns for the
draft "lottery" lit an obscure nfllce In tho
old l.nnd Ofllce Building.
Local boards will he formed to pass on
exemption claims made on registration day.
This la ns far as the definite plans for
the draft have gnrio up id the present. But
tho board Is hard nt work, and within n
few dars hopes to have hit upon the method
of conducting tho huge gamble which will
plnce half a million names on tho "roll of
honor.
As yet the exact method of drawing the
names of the first levy from morn than 9.
000.000 on the registration rolls Is un
settled. To hit upon an absolutely fair
nnd impartial system that will be invul
nerable tn political or nnv other kind
of tampering Is one of the knottiest problems
President's Wilson's advisory board has en
countered. Already It Is virtually decided that the
so-called Jury-nheel system Is Impractica
ble. The board has considered a dozen
schemes to slnglo out the number of men
needed, but most of them, however, lark
some essential or aro not "politics proof"
and nre discarded.
Among the schemes tested nnd considered
by the board was one by which the regis
trntlon cards wero assigned numbers to
correspond with marbles In a basket . On
a certain day the drawings wero to lie held
simultaneously In tho public squares nf
each city or county 'Whatever plan tho
board rests upon Is to combine tho elements
of speed, fairness and publicity
As soon as a tentative scheme is de
cided upon the plan will be laid before
President Wilson. The War Department
Is anxious tn get the lottery ready, so that
the men for the first levy can lie selected
and rushed Into camps for training.
