SCHWAB "CHUCKED" ALL Steel Master's Brother Tells How Ho Responded to Government Atlantic City, Feb. 3. How Charles M, Schwab,, with his multitudinous duties as chairman ot the board ot the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, managedj to find tho time to give the greater part cf a jear wholly to the service of the government for the winning of the war, Is no longer a secret, Joseph It Schwab, also,, of Bethlehem Steel, a brother of the former director general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, let the cat out of the bag at the Tray more today. "Chatley Just chucked ever thine else tv hen he concluded the government needed him, and left the details of his regular Job for tho rest of us to attend to," he said. "When tho armistice was .signed and he decided to get out of shipbuilding work,! he promptly beat it for Europe. It has been one busy year."

"I will not rest," said Packwood. "until 1 have cleared up this matter. I am still mj stifled, about It. I reallio that there Is considerable public Interest In tills case, nnd I Intend to get at the truth If I havo to stay hero Indefinitely and then give the full facts to the press. "t cannot state definitely whether my sister was married or single. I never heard personally ot the late Dr. Clar enco Fahnestock. who has been men tioned In connection with tho case.

If it is not always easy or old residenters of Philadelphia to know where to shop to the best advantage on Che&tnut street, how much more bewildering must it bo for thos.o less familiar with the street when thoy arc confronted with the alluring array of tho Chestnut Strert Shops. It was to meet this very difficulty, and in the hopes of proving of assistance, that these columns were .started and are main tained. Nothing is written from mere hearsay, but after close per sonal observation and inspection, and it has become an established fact that on this streel, and in these stores, shopping can be done more economically than anywhere else in the country. tOTOA 8&C4AV RE youionc of the hundreds of u: STRAWBERRIES, ono of the best known fruits in Europe and America, have been cultivated a comparatively bhort time, less than COO years. Until 1878 it was thought folly to attempt to do so in Florida for northern markets, but since then transportation facilities havo taken such strides that today at Henry R. Hallowrll & Son's, Broad below Chestnut street, the hiscious Florida strawberries rival tho Jersey va rieties. They are shipped North in tightly scaled refrigerators, ic-iced on the journey, and, being of even better quality than other seasons, arrive as fresh and blooming ns when gathered fiom tho patch. Lately Florida had a cold &nap which retarded the berries, but now they arc making up for lost time, nnd big. rosy, highly flavored strawber ries arc coming more regulat ly. NTIL tho Centennial Exhibi tion, in 1870, Oriental rugs were little known in this coun- tty, but tho display sent over by the Persian Government nttractcd con siderable attention and awakened an interest that has never waned. At Fritz & I.a Rue, 1124 Chestnut street, there is an enormous demand for all the weaves, which, with very few exceptions, they are able to meet, having laid them in prior to the war, and, thoutrh they have in creased in value, they have not in price. Saruk rugs from the isolated northern part of Persia, with their soft, silky, extremely close and firm texture, are great favorites. One of Fritz & l.a Rue's rarc.y beautiful specimens has a field of pale old wi, covered with u center medal lion and four corner figures, inter laced with many flower forms in rich and haimoniou hues. WHY Fcbiuary should be par ticularly the month for spe cial furnituie sales I have never discovered, but the custom prevails, and opportunities are rife .for picking up bargains. At Dar lington's, 1126-28 Chestnut stteet, they have an uncommonly well selected collection of unique pieces and t.uits. Mahogany, it goes with out saying, ia the thing, nnd the our-poot bedsteadh, single or double, with fluted, plain or pineapple topped columns, are delightfully pic turesque. A bedroom hot in Queen Anne pattern, consisting of seven pieces, and an Adam design four piece dininc room cult arc also ex tremely attractive. Chairs, too, odd or in sets, ate there. Finely up holstered Wing chairs, comfortable Windsor chairs nnd rush-bottom chairs in ebony-finish frames, deco rated with bouquets of flowers. AS NEW mediums of expression of real art are few and far be- twecn, those who arc esthetic in their tastes and appieciativc of things beautiful, will enjoy the ex quisite panels of Rookwood Ware at Bailey, Banks & Biddlc Company. For years the French havo excelled in delicate paintings on porcelain, Init it remained for the Americans to produce the same effect in a less costly way in pottery, and no water color or oil painting is more deco rative or softer nnd more beautiful than these little framed Rookwood gemB. The color qualities and re finement of rendering arc remark able, and there is the poetic charm and light, silvery touch of a Corot in tho woodland sunsets, glowing with rosy light, in the lakes shimmering In tho moonlight and in the snow bound roads leading into the No where. AR r- nomcicss unrortunates con demnod to living in an apart ment or boarding house? Or arc you an overworked, servantlcss house wife who would like to have tasty sauces, but who has not the time to cook them? In cither case, n pre pared Apple Sauce, all ready to Ecrve, will certainly appeal to ou, and at E. Bradford Claiko Company, 1D20 Chestnut street, they have just what vou need: "The Heart of Maine Brand of Apple Sauce," made of fine grado fresh apples, eooked to the proper degree and sweetened with the purest cranulateH sue-ar.

If there aie any they must be either too "high-browed" or too "low-browed" to know what they miss, especially at the Philadelphia Art Galleries and Auction Rooms. southeast coiner Chcttnut and Fif teenth streets.
