' j.t Second Lieutenant Kranklln n. a
p-V Fox, of Philadelphia, was killed In
i'.I.o, In which he wan flvlne cnushr flro.
f After the pilot had Jumped, the blazing
1 r piane, wim mo oincer still clinging to
It, crashed to earth.
tileutenant Fox was one of the many
mn that left the Bveniko Public
LKjoer to fight for the United States
and human liberty, and was the first to
dl. Ills name Is the first for this
paper on any casualty list.
The Gfncer was attached to the head
quarters staff of General Pershing and
was regarded as a most trustworthy
nn and a man of unusual ability.
Lieutenant Fox literally battled his
wy Into the service, winning a com
mission after a campaign of more than
a year that began months before the
United States entered tho war.
Kduratrd In France
.Lieutenant Fox was born In the United
States, but his parents went to France
to live when he was a s.mall boy, and
he, was educated largely In French pri
vate schools and unhersltles. Coming
to this country, he continued his Ftmlles
lor several years, and then entered news
papvr work, his first employment being
on a Boston newspaper.
In 1914 Fox came to Philadelphia and
went to work on the Hvenlng Public
Ledger shortly after the paper was
established. Here he continued until he
entered .tho service.
Frank Fox, as everybody here called
him, was a young man of charming
personality. He was generous, sympa
thetic, with a good-will that seemed to
go out to evcrbody In the world
Before the United States entered the
war-Frank Fox's heart was bitter
aftlnst Germany. There wns no other
bitterness In his heart and, It seemed,
there had never been. He loxed France
aa he loved his mother.
Believing It was Inevitable that the
United States would Join In the great
struggle against the Central rowers
and desiring as he had desired nothing
else In the world to do his part when
that time should come. Fox tried to
enlist. That was before war was de
clared. Ho was rejected because his
eyes were not up to army standard.

French.
Teddy disappeared on yunduy night
from tho home of Kmll Knotr, 1703
North Hlghteenth street, where he has
been the guest .since his young master
returned to the front with the marines.
It Is possible that Teddy, who held the
dignified position of mascot In a division
of American marines, where they have
been lighting In France, since the young
r,oldler found him ns a helpless little
puppy, may have decided to go back,
too.
When a dog has been with soldiers

MARRIAGE "BROKERS" MOVE
"No Publicity" of License Agents
Forced to Adjoining Counties
Marrlnge license "brokers" who form
erly piled their trade In this cltv. promis
ing "no publicity" nnd charging exorbi
tant fees, have moved to other counties
as the result of the campaign for their
extermination conducted by James B.
Sheehan. teglsler of wills und cleric or
the orphans Court
This was the announcement of Mr.
Sheehan today, when his attention was
called to advertisements stating that
marriage licensee could be procured
prlvatelv
Within two weeks, jr. Sheehan said,
through eo-operat'nn lie expects to re
ceive from the judges of orphans' courts
In adjoining counties, the marrlnge
license broker will be entirely wined vut
of this section. It Is now Impossible for
a marriage license to he obtained pri
vately In Philadelphia County, he said.
One of I he "brokers" has located nt
young soldier, his godfather. Is over
there.
Besides, none of tho dogs here speak
French presentably even tho Frenrh
poodles cnnleonvetse only In a vulgar
kind -of patois and, anyhow, they are
no companions for a dog who has seen
nctlnn on the French front.
The young marine who found Teddy
no one but Teddy knows his name and
he Is uncommunicative was In France
when his enlistment expired. Then he
came back n few weeks ago with Teddy,
Ho met Mr. Knorr In a casual sort of
way, but found out one essential thing
that Mr. Knorr liked dogs. So It was
nrranged that Teddy should stop here
until called for, while his godfather re
enliBted and went back to finish things
up.
At present Teddy may be trying to see
how long It takes to go to France afoot,
or he may merely have stepped out to
Bee how big America Is.' anyway, or

DON'Tcare how much money you've
got, you can't afford to spend more than '
is necessary to get what you need.
Secretary of the Treasury, McAdoo, ex
pressed my sentiments when he said, the
other clay in New York: i
"I have no patience with the spendthrift to-'
day because the Nation is in need of every
dollar it can get. Themanwho hangi on to
his dollar regardless of what ihe other man ,
may say, is the m.in who is helping to win
the war and is doing almost is much for
his country -as the man in uniform."
If you are willing to deprive yourself df
the luxury of paying for a label when.
buying a hat, 1 can showyou how to save
a dollar.
