The Increase In the number of public
school children this year oer last will uc
the largest In the history of Philadelphia,
according- to Henry J. Gideon, chief of the
Bureau of Compulsory Education, who Is
now working- on thejschool census
For some years past an oscrcrowded con
dition has existed In the public schools,
and the Board of Education has been
laboring- to overcome this. They h.ul building-
plans worked out for this )ear that not
only would have taken care of the Increase
but hae done away with the necessity for
many students being- on hnlf tlmo How
Ver, the board has been greatly handl.
capped by lack of funds, and has been able
to carry out but a small part of theue
plans, says Albert II. Ilaub, In charge of
school organization.
In June, 1917, there were 19B.03B chil
dren enrolled In thn grammar schools,
17,099 In the high schools and 963S In con
tinuation schools Of this total of 221,771
there wero 20,262 on part time Tho In
crease Indicated by the school census to
date Is approximately 3 per cent. Thli
means an increase In enrollment of about
(000.
New schools and schools with larger ac
commodations that will bo ready for the
present year are:
The Oliver Wendell Holmes School,
Fifty-fifth and Chestnut streets, the new
junior high school ; will accommodate
1250 students, thirty-one classroom
Th Taggart School, No. 2, Fourth and
Porter streets; will accommodato 1500
Students; thlrty-ono classrooms
Tho Kensington High School, Cumber,
land and Firth streets! will accommo
date 1200 students; twenty-eight class
rooms. Addition to Francis Scott Key School,
4 Eighth and Wolf street-), completed Oc
tober 1 ; will accommodate COO students ;
twelve new classrooms
. The Francis need School, Moore and
8artaln streets, completed October 1 ;
will accommodate 850 students; seven
teen classrooms
Addition to tho Northeast High School,
Eighth Btrcet and Lehigh avenue, com
pleted February 1; will accommodate
1000 students; twenty-one new clasv
rooms
The Dlrney School, Ninth street and
Ltndley avenue, completed February 1 ;
will accommodate 450 students; fifteen
classroom.
The Fox Chaso School. Tlhawn and D
streets, completed February 1 ; will ac
commodate 30ff students; six class
rooms. .. These new schools and additions to old
schools will mako room for 6950 moro
students than last year, which Is less than
the Increase Indicated by tho census Theso
Jiew accommodations represent an outlay of
more than $2,500,000 The Hoard of Hduca.
tlon has plans for the construction of six
new school buildings that would virtually
do away with the crowded condition They
hope next year to be able to carry through
a building program tint will correct the
present evil.
The Increase last ear over the previous
year In tho number of children enrolled
was .028. The average Increase for the
last six years has been but 017. Owing to
the rapidity with which the smaller Indus
trial towns around Philadelphia have been
rowing, the Bureau of Compulsory Fduca.
tlon had expected a decrease in enrollment
last year, according to Chief Gideon The
fact of the large Increase Indicates that
this city and such towns as Wilmington
and Chester are growing at the expense of
the rest of the United SUteB, he says.
The largest increa has been In the
number of negro children Last jear there
were 11.559. The census Indicates that
there will be 10 per cent more this ear, nn
Increase of 2120

INTIMIDATION CHARGED
Max Deutsch, whose brother Isnnc
Deutsch, Is Van- candtdato for nomination
on tho Itepulillcan tlcckt for Select Council
against Mercantllo Appraiser Jnmes A
Corey tho McNIchol candidate, toduj pre
dicted that tho close watching of tho two
factions would cut the prlimry vote to
about 1R00 This would Intlluito that In
past earn, with no foctionul fight on, tho
Republican organization cist 300 phantom
votes
Deutsch explained that usually tho
rlfth Ward vote was about 2100, but that
Blnie ach of the factions known the ward
ro thoroughly manv of thrsc 2100 votes
would not bo cast This was In line with
tho declaration of Candidate Deutsch c
tcrday that In one 'heuse, 118 Lombard
street, k Carey voters nre registered,
with the possibility of only one being legal
The housekeeper thero s ild Mie knew of
only ono voter In hei house although six
names actually appear on the registration
list
Tho absence of Doutsch from tho ward
caused a lull in tho factional light todaj,
but Deutsch's supporters h ly this Is a lull
before a storm raon to lilt tho James A
Carcy-McNichol faction
The predicted storm Is to be In tho form
of a big mass-meeting for members and
workeis for DeutFch at the Fifth Ward
Republican League, which ni oiganlrcd
two weeks ago In the Inttrtst of Deutsch's
candidacy Max Deutsch, bi other of the
Councllmnn, today wild thin meeting would
mark the real opening of the c.impilgn In
tho Fifth Carev and his faction claim the
campaign has been cm for some time with
tho pollco of tho Third and De I.anccy
streets Btation doing all they can to defeat
Carey.
Arnold Blumberg, an attorney connected
w 1th tho Carey faction, has charged that the
police of Third nnd De I.inccy streets ar
rested James Cat-ey, of 60S houth Second
street and David llloom, of J19 South Law
rence Htrcet, on trlvlil charges to Intimidate
Carey workers Similar chargeH were made
In tho case of David Knoll, 1J3 I'lne street,
who was charged with having knocked out
Oscar New hand, of 248 South Second street,
w ith a bottle
The cases came beforo Magistrate Cow
ard, at the Second and Christian streets
station today, and In each political accu
sations, churges nnd Counter-charges ran
rife until the Magistrate finally managed
to get tho canes out of the way.
Casey was held um'r $G00 ball for a
further hearing on Friday on n chargu of
taking a watch from W. Nelson, a sailor of
the steamship Dorchester. Bloom, who was
charged with conducting a gambling house,
was discharged and Knoll was held with
out ball on a charge of aggravated assault
nnd battery At that tlmo It was thought
New hand was In a serious condition at the
Philadelphia Hospital He was discharged,
It was said, before tho hearing began, so
tho caso will probibly come up again to
morrow. Candidate Deutsch went to Atlantic City
early today to prepare his household ef
fects for removal to this city. He expects
to bo here carl Friday and will then Mart
his campaign in earnest after tho rally at
his club. Lieutenant Dennett was also In
Atlantic City, today being his il ly off at
tho station house Deutsch s brother said
there was no particular significance In their
being in Atlantic City at the came time,
as It wvas known they were friends when
both are at homo In tho Fifth.
Deutsch's brother today denied tho as
sertions of tho Caroy faction that there are
only about twenty members In the Repub
lican Li'ague, which his brother has Just
organized To prove his statement that
there are about 400 members he brought out
the books and allowed the Hvenimi Lfdorh
rcprewntatlve to look at tho names
Commenting on the statement cvf Blum
berg that tho three men mentioned were
nrrested to intimidate Care workers and
that the Deutsch faction W using "8tlck-up
pollco methods to win In the primaries, '
Max Deutsch said:
"Tho stlck-up method la strictly a Carey
Invention He ha always used It, and
now that he has not tho police to help him
In the election, ho Is resorting to every
possible method he can think of as a sub
stitute So far an lllumberg Is concerned,
ho is the son of Sam Blumberg, who Is a
candidate for Common Council on tho
tlqket with Carey."

knnwIedRo tint ho far us tho actual ad
ministration of these laws by the courts is
concerned whether they be courts of record
of the Fnlted States or of the Individual
States, there Is an litter lack of uniformity
In the Interpretation of the law and In the
practice In different Jurisdictions under the
liw
"Undoubtedly the object of the naturali

a reasonable knowledge of tho principles of
our Government; that he honcstlv and uln

T a time when every dollar vou spend ought to be looked

ought to look more than twice at what you're going to

We have based our whole business on the belief that all-wool
is best for men's and young men's clothing; that cotton mixtures,
though somewhat cheaper, are not economy.
We have maintained a strict all-wool standard in spite of steadily
rising costs of fine wool, in the face of the clamor for cheaper
clothes. We know that the men and young men of America
share our belief that all-wool is best; is real economy.

Good clothes, like everything else, cost more than they for
merly cost, but if all-wool is best and cheapest in the long run,
you ought to have it. It means more style, more service, more
satisfaction. It's worth the price.
In spite of the war the weavers of England, Scotland, Ireland
and America have no difficulty in supplying us with wool goods.
We believe we are upholding and strengthening the call for
economy in maintaining our long time standard of all-wool clothes
with an unlimited guarantee of satisfaction.
