" the "Philadelphia and Reading Railway
to its original owners, work on a
Sl',000,000 terminal in Camden will be
--begun, according to a statement made
by Gordon Chambers, real estate agent
for thq railway company, at a meeting
of the harbor commission in Camden
' Citv Hull last night.

EXPECT DEMOCRAT
TO SUCCEED CARR
Bonniwoll, Lank and Clemoijt
Urged Upon Governor for
Common Pleas Bench
Politicians are speculating on the
possible successor to the late Judge
William A. Carr, of the Common Pleas
Court. Governor Sproul will make the
appointment.
Judge Carr was the only Democrat on
the Common Pleas bench in Philadel
phia county. It is the supposition that
Governor Sproul will appoint a Demo
crat to fill the vncancy.
Among those mentioned for the place
are Municipal Judge Eugene C. Uonnl
well, Edgar W. Lank, chairman of the
Democratic city committee, and Public
Service Commissioner Samuel M. Clem
ent, Jr. Mr. Clement is a Republican
and a close personal friend of the Gov
ernor. It ii understood the claims of Mr.
Clement nnd Mr. Lank have been pre
sented to Governor Sproul at Hot
Springs, Va., where he is recuperating
from an attack of rheumatism.
The death of the late Magistrate John
F. Collins will give the minority party
at the coming November election nn
additional magistrate. Under the law
the majority nnrty is entitled to two-
thirds of the number of magistrates
elected and the minority one-third.
Where the number does not proportion
evenly, the minority gets the additional
one.
Four magisterial places were to have
been filled nt the November election,
the terms of Magistrates Robert Car
son, Evan T. Pennock, Maxwell Steven
son, Jr., and James A. Ilriggs expiring
on December 31. The death of Mag
istrate George K. Hogg ond the resig
nation of Magistrate George A. Persch
added two more places .to the list.
Under this arrangement the majority
party would have been entitled to four
and the minority to two. Then the
death of Magistrate Collins added
another place to be filled, making the
proportionment four for the majority
and three to the minority.
SUNDAY ATHLETICS URGED
Hundreds Write Park Commission
Opposing Clergymen Who Ask Ban
Hundreds of letters from all parts of
the city have been received by William
Findiay Brown, of the Fairmount l'ark
Commission, urging the approval of his
resolution providing for healthful and
innocent Sunday athletics in the city
parks.
The writers favor baseball, tennis and
other games, and many of them strenu
ouslycondemn the attitude of the Rev.
T. T. Mutchler, secretary of the Phila
delphia Sabbath Association, and the
Rev. Percy X Shelly, of the Lord's
Day Alliance, the principal opponents
of the resolution. '
"I feel assured that the resolution
will eventually be approved and that
the children and young people of Phila
delphia will be permitted to enjoy to
tho full the benefits to health and
happiness to be derived from exercise
in the open," said air. urown.

HEY, UPPER! UPPER!
YOU GOT ANY EGGS?
Jewels of Ice-Box Hazard Now
in Time-Honored Easter
tide Game
"Upper! Upper! Who's got nn egg?"
Is the war cry of the little Raster
gambler nowreverberating through the
sj.de streets.
All Philadelphia kids nnd ex-kids
know what this means. The boy of
real sporting blood nccepts the challenge
on the spot. He makes a drive on the
refrigerator and digs out the hardest
and "polnt-i-cst" egg from mother's
big basket o choice hen fruit.
If mother complains, he assures her
be will bring back enough for the family
breakfast. Then he dashes out to "pick"
the challenging kid waiting anxiously
nt the door.
The youngster vlio issues die chal
lenge claims ttie advantage of his ad
versary, so he holds his egg "upper"
and hits that of his opponent.
As a result many mothers from now
until Faster will see lots of cracked eggs
in their refrigerators. Do not blame the
dealer, although he does charge you
fifty cents n dozen, hut bear in mind
that the eggs ,may have been wounded
in battle. Such casualties are not neces
sarily faal to these jewels of the ice
chest. They can be used for frying
purposes and play the star part in the
family omelette just the same us though
they entered it from nn unbroken shell.
And when ou hear the cry "Upper!
Upper!" let it resound. It may mean
more eggs in Our family basket. '

DAY OF HORSE GONE,
SAYS TRUCK EXPERT
Motor Vehicles Hauling Large
Share of Farm Products
Directly to Consumer
Motortrucks have already overtaken
the railroads as a means of transporta
tion for foodstuffs nnd materials, in
the opinion of A. B. Kroh, western
sales manager for n motortruck com
pany, who spoke nt the closing session
today of the National Association of
Truck Sales Managers at the Bellevuc
Stratford Hotel.
'grills is admitted by many railroad
men," continued Mr. Kroh. "The ad
vantages of the motortruck ns a means
of transportation especially applies to
the fnrmlng situation. The truck can go
to the farm, load up with the products,
and then carry it direct to the consum
er, saving time and money.
"One example of the efficiency of
motortruck transportation is found in
statistics which show that during the
month of January, 1010, over 1!I,0()0
hogs were hauled to the yards at
Omnlin, Neb., in trucks from different
parts of the surrounding country.
"The farmer must be motorized, and
the use of motor-propelled machinery
on the farm is becoming more wide
spread every day. The day of the
horse is gone, and the nnimal should
be eliminated from the farms altogether.
It has been shpwn that there arc 2T,
000,000 horses on the farms in this
country, and in producing crops the
horse consumes ono-foutth of all that
he accomplishes. This great waste
cannot be defended.

efficiency in p.oduction was more to be
.irsirod. The farmer of today Is produc
ing enough to feed his own family and

"On Monday evening, when Calvin

sion that is entirely impartial nnd not
applied particularly to Philadelphia."
Mr. Ilosenbcrger said the Board of

"We have intimated to the board
that if necessary we would provide the
necessary funds," Mr. Bosenbcrger
said.
If the cost of a survey were $25,000,
he added, it would only be one-fifth
of 1 per cent of the .-pl3.000.000 spent
annually for the schools here.
Forty-five clubs have been asked to
affiliate themselves with the congress of

joined so far.
