FROZEN FISH TO BE WAR DIET
Hoover Urges Increased Catch
in
Southern Waters This Winter
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2fi. Herbert
Hoover, the Food Admlnlstintor, now pro
poses to popularize frozen fish as an article
of diet In American households. The pur
pose Is to conserve the meat supply. Whole
sale fish distributors from all over the
United States met with the Food Adminis
trator to decide how tho campaign in behalf
of frozen fish might best be conducted.
One of the problems Is the small catch
of this season due to the requisitioning of
small ships for war purposes, tho enlist
ment of captains and fishermen in the army
and naval reserve and the conscription of
many others. A speeding up of production
in the South was advocated. This will be
accomplished by the sending down of boats
from the New York and Gloucester dis
tricts this winter.

WAR AND AFTERMATH
In Addressing Student Body Em
phasizes Tremendous Import
of Work Faced
rniNCETON, N. J.. Sept. IB.
War and the part the young man of this
country will take In upbuilding the nation
when peaco Is finally declared, were the
dominant notes struck In President John
Grlcr Hlbbcn's address at the opening of
Princeton University today.
In addressing the student body. President
Hlbben called attention to the tremendous
significance of their approaching task. "All
things are possible to a nation whose youth
are seekers nfter knowledge, determined to
know In order that they may better serve,"
said President Hlbben.
"Are you willing to sacrifice ease and
comfort, to endure hardships, to work with
dogged perseverance, to grind and dig, In
order to know, and, knowing, to command
to command yourselves and others and the
powers of the world about you?" he asked.
Pointing out the serious problems con
fronting In particular the youth of this
country, President Hlbben continued: "The
world In which you aro to live your lives
nnd do your work will be a hard world, In a
certain sense a grim world. Us difficulties
can be overcome. Us dangers met, only by
tho spirit of nn enlarged and exalted man
hood, Whnt your country will demand
of you Is Intelligence, wisdom, Industry,
courage. Such qualities are the reward of
labor.
"You are not only destined to cam your
bread by the sweat of voiir hrnir. hut In
like
manner you must win your right to
ii place In the new world now In the process
or becoming. It Is a world In earnest nnd
no room will bo found within Its boundaries
foi ono who Is not himself desperately In
earnest, who Is not willing to strive to the
limit of his capacity, and In whoso heart no
fire of high endeavor has ever been
kindled "
Referring to a letter received during the
summer from tho adjutant general of the
I lilted States Army. President Hlbben said
that the reason he gave for the principal
falluro of a number of tho applicants for
commissions In the army training camps
was "slouchlness" of manner, carriage,
mind nnd disposition, nnd he made a spe
cial plea that the young men Just entering
college bear In mind tho need for an earnest
application to their work so as to prepare
them for intelligent leadership In tho af
fairs of their country.

Next month the Owen Magnetic Car Company of Philadelphia
will celebrate its first anniversary in its unique showrooms at
1835 Chestnut Street.
During the year more than 100 Owen Magnetic cars have been
sold to Philadelphians experienced motorists who have learned
that no other car so instantly responds to the driver's every wish,
that no other car is so nearly automatic in its operation.
One little finger lever on the steering wheel does all the work. In
one magnetic unit is embodied all the mechanism which hereto
fore required extra parts and operation by cumbersome self
starting and lighting apparatus, clutch, clutch-pedal, flywheel,
gear shifting and braking.
The Fall series of Town Cars, Touring Cars, Limousines, Brough
ams, etc., is now ready. Prices $3,300 to $5,500.
We welcome an opportunity to demonstrate, for in no' other way
can you conceive of the riding and driving qualities of this "Car
of a Thousand Speeds." Phone, Spruce 2690.
