Ordnance manufacturers in the Phila

today In the auditorium of the Manu
facture! s' Club to outline their needs
for tools, materials, machinery and othei
materials essential to the conduct of

meetings are held under the uusplces of
the Philadelphia district of the United

expense, and at the same time establish
a closer relationship between contractor

SOMEBODY HAS PUT JINX
ON WASHINGTON STATUE
Unveiling by P. O. S. of A. in Camden bnce Again Postponed
When Derrick Breaks Down Exercises Will Be Held
This Evening Maybe
The statue of General George Wash
ington is having a hard time to get any
standing In Camden.
. In fact, the monument Is having a
more difficult task at present than Us
original had when he faced the Hessians
further up In New Jersey some few years
ago.
Literally speaking, the statue can't get
itself together. It vvas to be unveiled
yesterdny with appropriate ceremony at
the opening of the convention of the
Patriotic Order Sons of America, but it
arrived in Camden several hours too late
on account of traffic conditions.
It was calculated that the statue could
be unveiled last night 'about 9 o'clock.
Again it was called oft, as the ropes and
other equipment were not In place. Gov
ernor Edge, who was to have made a
speech concerning the statue, couldn't
wait for It to get on Its feet. He made
the speech In 'advance and then went
home.
The committee, which worked heroic
ally, despite the overwhelming Jinx,
finally announced that the statue would
be unveiled this morning at 9 o'clock.
But It appears that the derricks were
not consulted regarding this arrange
ment. One "of them, -hlch had, been
holding a small base stone In place all
night, got tired about 8 o'clock this
morning and snapped under tt)e strain,
after complaining for some time.
As this derrick played an Important
part It was necessary to send to Phila
delphia for parts to make repairs. It
was then announced that the statue
would be unveiled at 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon, but It was not assembled at
that time and the latest announcement

Twenty-four American soldiers., a ma

way to the base hospital nt Lakewood.
N. J.
Two other soldiers, who have recov
ered from wounds, stopped over here
on their way to Camp Dix. where they
will serve as instructors. They have
been incapacitated for trench work, but,
as they arc .experts In the handling of
grenades, bayonets and automatic rifles,
It is figured they can render good ser
vice ns Instructors. They are Sergeant
William W. Blaekmer and Sergeant
Howard f Whlteherse, who, as mem
bers of the 125th Infantry, took part lr
the early spring fighting.
Oet Warm Reception
The soldiers en route to Lnkewood ar
rived early today from a southern port,
and were given n warm reception by
scores of men and women who passed
their hospital car as It was being at
tached to the Lakewood train at Broad
Street Station. A few of the wounded
men were heated by the windows nnd
leturned the salutes.
An ofllcer attached to the medical
corps said that the men were wounded
during the early fighting, and that while
they are on the road to recovery It was
doubtful whether any of them would re
turned to tho trenches.
It Is likely that when discharged from
Lakewood they will bo nsslgned as In

are former members of the Michigan Na
tional Guard and saw service on the
Mexican border.
They spent several hours In the city
and paid warm tribute to the American
Red Cross. Sergean Whltchorsa was
gassed In June, but has recovered suf
ficient strength to teach rookies how to
use an automatic rifle.

Sergeant Blaekmer said his first ex

DEMAND IS GENERAL
Sonic Run Farms and Keep
Stores to Make Up Living
Expenses
Approximately 7000 city employes are
looking forward to the fall sessions of
Councils In the hope of being allowed
a wartime living wage. Many of them
are now forced to work at night or en
gage In private business venture dur
ing the dny to make ends meet.
A partial canvass of city employes
shows that many clerks and account
ants are doing outside work In nn ef
fort to meet tho high cost of living.
It shows further that other city and
county employes arc Interested In small
neighborhood business ventures. Some
are proprietors of cigar nnd candy
stores, while others are Interested In
tho retailing of milk, Ice, etc.
Men attached to the Bureau of Fire
have always been unable to add to their
low city wage because of long hours,
and the same Is true, In some degree,
of policemen. Many of these men have
thrifty wives, however, who gladly take
In a boarder or two to help eke out tho
living. Some of the city patrolmen are
small farmers, and more than one South
Jersey truck patch is owned nnd worked
by municipal employes, who in this way
augment their regular pay.
Private ventures of city and county
employes range from movlng-plcturc en
terprises, high-class duties of certified
public accountants and other well-paying
propositions of extra labor at off
hours for neighbors. Most every class
nf city employe is Included In those seek
ing increased pay.
As usual, the demands for Increased
pay made by the "little fellows" Is being
us-ed to urge Increases In pay for bureau
chiefs and other well-paid officials, who
hope to benefit by the general demand
for more money. In some Instances men
now being paid $3000, 14000 and J5000
for an easy place are demanding $500.
$800 nnd $1000 more. As most of these
demands have the backing of some po
litical power they stand equally as good
Chances of being allowed as do those for
the really needy cases.
The pay increase demands, together
with new -places asked for, would, If
allowed, Increase the cost of city gov
ernment over $2,000,000 annually. The
money, or most of It, could be found
If Councils dared follow the advice of
President Orilllth. of tho Civil Service
Commission, and cut out "useless
places, while granting salary Increases
to all the little fellows who now have to
make a part of their living "on tho

With the submitting of a tentative

the hearings In the subject In dispute
came to an abrupt ending today before
Special i:amlner W. T. Roberts in the

resenting the Stanley Booking Corpora
tlon, Informed the examiner un agree-

I ternoon made the following statement
Tho evidence heard as far as the suit
proceeded disclosed that the complaint
ants all had reference to conditions
which have not existed for a long time,
and had no bearing upon the present
method of business as conducted by the
Stanley Booking Corporation.
"For this reason the case was of no
rnntii.j.1 imnortance. and rather than
continue what would have been a most
protected hearing, a statement of facts
was agreed upon i ---slon
and this corporation on the basis of
which wo anticipate the commission will
make an order directing this corporation
not to discriminate unduly against the
new picture houses In this vicinity
which are not Its clients.
"Such an order will be entirely satis
factory to us for we have not, as evi
denced by the recent conduct of our
business, been Interested In anything ex
cept the prosperity of our clients. This
fact was firmly established by the evi
dence and It was also evident that the
Stanley Booking Corporation has not
done any more than what Its objects
are viz: to enable those exhibitors
affiliated with it to secure first run of
tho best photoplays and other film fea
tures, and In general to aid them In
every way to place their resorts before
the public in such a manner that they
would gain the confidence and. esteem
of motion picture lovers, and also to
help them In every legitimate manner
to maintain that."

buyers have already proved this. The proof is
just as easy for you.
When a homemaker goes out to buy Fur
niture there are just four things she seeks to
obtain large assortments, up-to-date styles,
dependable quality and the lowest possible
prices consistent with high-grade goods.
Linde assortments are the most complete
you will find in Philadelphia, giving the shopper
a wide range of selection and making it easy to
match any scheme of furnishing.
Linde styles are absolutely the last ivord in
Furniture making. In our thirty years of experi
ence we have learned what is best suited for the
great medium class of homes and we take partic
ular pains to provide it.
Ljnde quality is positively the very best to
be had in the American market, which is equiv
alent to saying that it is the best in the world
today. We have the reputation in the trade of
being the most particular and exacting buyers in
the country and we are proud of it.
Linde prices are the lowest in Philadelphia
because our $100,000 a year location and expense
saving goes to our customers. This enormous
saving, taken in conjunction with our great vol
ume of business, enables us to guarantee our
prices at least 20 per cent below all others.

one yelled, 'Out of the wagon, boys I'
and, believe me, we scattered through
the fleldi, tho bombs landing within
fifty feet of our wagon, and only by a
miracle no one was hurt.

feet from him, to see whether he had hit
his taigct. ,
