CALLVICTORY NOTES
BEST LOAN OFFERING!
Ik", Will Have Greater Stability iri
Market Than Earlier Issues,
Says Reserve Board
) not to inflate credit
Advnntnjtcs for private investment of
Iho short term notes to bo issued in
the Victory Liberty I.onn are believed
. by the Federal Reserve Hoard to be
J greater than those of any preceding;
'' Liberty Loan issue.
In its forthcoming bulletin for April,
an abstract o which was made public
today, the board expresses the opinion
that the short term notes will have a
greater market stability because of their
short maturity and also because they
will not be encumbered by uncertainty
as to redemption after n specified
period, as in the case with Ions term
notes.
"When the investor purchases a gov
ernment nolo with n maturity of four
jcars," the board nrfiiies. "he lias the
assurance that the obligation thus pur
chased will possess (-renter stability of
value than could possibly be Riven by
any bond whose maturity is long or
which is subject lo the possibility of
redemption nfter a specified period, but
which has no definite or positive claim
for such redemption upon the maker or
issuer of such bonds.
"Far from its being true, therefore,
that the new 'notes' arc not well
adapted to private a"05"-?,1-"1' ?,;
eminently so adapted, while the condi
tions under which they are to he issued
should brine them much closer to the
requirements of the individual buyer
than has been true of any of the pre
ceding Liberty Loans.'"
Aside from the attractive investment
offered, the notes must bc absorbed
largely through private subscription, the
board says, in order to prevent further
inflation of banking credit and a re
sultant continuance of high prices.
Liberal subscription to the issue is tle-
clared to be the dictate of self interest.
Can Apply Only One Remedy
"Only one remedy for the financial
situation now existing can be applied,
the board says, "and that is that the
public subscribe freely for the govern
ment .obligations when ofTered and pay
for them out of the proceeds of savings.
Indeed, the urgency for adherence to
this policy is greater now than it was
during the war, inasmuch as at that
time there was strict oversight and con
trol on the part of the gncrnment over
production, distribution and, in a meas
ure, consumption, while at present that
oversight has naturally and properly
been greatly relaxed, or in many
brnnches of business entirely abolished.
' Tiie responsibility of saving and con
serving resources thus remains with
those vho nro the recipients of current
incomes, either from investments or
from salaries and wnges, in perhaps a
higher degree than vns previously true."
Many unique and odd features are be
ing planned to boost the sales of the
Victory Loan here nnd throughout the
United States.
The Nnvy Department will send three
warships between San Francisco nnd
- Xejv York city, via the Panama canal,
during the campaign, the daily posi
tions of which will indicate the amount
of subscriptions to the loan. The first
vessel will leave San Francisco on
April 21, the opening day of the drive.
Considerable interest attaches itself
to the arrivnl in New York of the
Belgian soldiers' mission which will
come to this city to aid in the loan
drive one hundred nnd fifteen vet
erans of more than four years' service
on the western front, carrying their
full equipment and nc-companicd by po
lice docs which aided them in their
ficlitinc.
The men have seen continu

DAUGHTERS RESENT
MISUSE OF FLAG
Enactment of Federal Law !
Against Desecration Urged i
by Committee ,
Washington, April 15. (lSy A. IM
Enactment of a federal law to pre
vent gcnernl misuse and desecration of
the American ting was ndvocnted in a
report today to the twenty-eighth con
gress of the Daughters of the Amcricnn
llcvolulion, in session nt Continental
Hall here.
After an investigation. -Mis. .lames 1.
Hume, state regent of Wisconsin, chair
man of the (lag committee, reported that
the evil hnd increased cry greatly since
the aiinisticc, and that while it was
due largely to ignorance, stnte laws
were so conflicting nnd so lax that a
federal statute was needed to assure
proper regard for the national emblem
by n)l classes ,
The most frequent misuse of the flag,
Alls. Hume declared, was by theatres,
magazines nud in cartoons and posters
In the latter iias of the war and par
ticulurh since the armistice, nnd with
the returning home of troops, the pub
lic, she said, had used the Hag for
costumes and decorntions in such waj
as to arouse the resentment of patri
otic organizations.
A campaign of education tin the
Schools nnd publicity were urged, and
nil the daughters were nuked to co
operate in the efforts to enlighten the
offending elements,
A resolution indorsing the league of
nations was presented. It went to the
committee without comment on the
floor.

$ay, Proposed Republic Will
Be First Nation to Grant
Her Sex Equal Rights at
Outset of Its Career
Women and girls of Korea expect to
take an nctivp part in the proposed
republican government of that country,
according to Miss Nodlc Kim, one of
the six women delegated to the Korean
congress being held nt the Little The
atre. "Men in Korea realise that women
are able to do something," says Miss
Kim, who is freshman at Obcrlin
College. "Their blood has been shed
as well as the men's, and they have
been subjected to worse tortures by the
Japanese since March 1,
"Japanese Methods have been di
rectly transported from Germany. One
young girl, who wns holding a mani
festo, had her right hand cut off by a
Japanese soldier. When she picked up
the manifesto with her left hand, that
too was cut off. The women have suf
fered unspeakable treatment from the
Japanese. Children of seven nnd eight
j ears of age have been tied to posts,
others chased from their houses and'
their homes burned. Any one wao has
protested against the riilc of Jnpan has
been imprisoned.
Recognized Women's Help
Miss Kim, who spent a number of
j ears in Hawaii before coming to the
United Stntes, has acquired the western
atmosphere of woman's rights.
Recently, she says, the men of Korea
have recognized the value of woman's
help in their fight for a republic nnd
hnvc insisted upon an equal education
for both men and the women.
"The women in Korea have their own
clubs and discuss educational, social
ana political questions. Most of their
meetings' have to be held quietly for
the Japanese will not permit any criti
cism of the government to be spoken.
But Korean girls have acted as spies,
carjing the message of Korea's hopes

HOTEL BUSINESS ON BOOM
Philadelphia Hostelrles Indicate
Quickening of Business
The Philadelphia hotels are now
doing a rushing business after a rather
quiet time during Inst fall and winter.
There have been several occasions lately
when it was impossible to obtain a good
room at any of the downtown hotels
without nn advance reservation. This
is taken, as an indication of a quicken
ing of business generally.
One of the things the wnr did to the
hotels was to stop conventions. Phila
delphia has, long been known as a con
vention city, as it is centrally situated
and has good hotel nnd railway facili
ties. This is n favorite place for na
tional conventions, which bring thou
sands of people to the city, but few
conventions were held here during the
wnr neriod.
The convention senson has opened
nirnih with a rush, nnd the benefit to
.local business is appreciable. The im
pending enactment of the prohibition
law cut off a considerable business of a
certain sort, .but the establishment of
coffee shops as a new business nt the
leading hotels has been suggested as
profitable.

There isn't a single sheet of unused
parchment in the United States, accord
ing to II, B. Elliott, vico president of
the Charles II. Elliott Company, one
of the biggest parchment users in the
country.
Parchment, Mr. Elliott explained, is
a thin layer of sheepskin treated by
chemicals in a way knovn only to Eng
lish manufacturers. Attempts to pro
duco it in the United States, Argentina
and Australia have been failures so far,
he said.
An Amerongen correspondent, de

"his skin hung like parchment on his
shrunken frame. But there is no hope
even in that qunrtcr. There are. no
colleges of burglary and arson in this

TO BE ABOUT. TEN MILES
An immediate start on the construc
tion of the Thirty-'fifth Ward surface
line, a unit of the comprclienslvc.iran-
Sr.. of -..nnn.-t binBi,. hnvK-been
taken out by contracting firms of-'this
and neighboring cities and close bidding
is ' forecast because of the competing
field. From advance information on the
price of materials nnd labor the heads
of the deportment nro led to hijpe for
figures wirtiin the estimated cost.
The stnrti-on tho new line ns planned
by Director Twining will comprise about
six miles from the intersection ot
Frnnkford and Oxford avenues to tho
upper end of Bustlcton. The entire
length of the line to its most northern
terminus nt. the city farms in Ryberry
is approximately ten miles, and the de
cision of the city in putting more than
half the system under contract at the
nutfTtRi-t indicates a determination to
complete this unit ns speedily as pos-
sible.
Plan for Viaduct
Trom Frnnkford avenue and Oxford
avenue, where the line begins, single
track will follow ns far ob Leipcr .street,
this being necessary because between
these points Oxford avenue has not been
widened sufficiently to accommodate- a
double track. From Leiner street to
the Boulevard about a half milo double
track will be laid and from this point
to Bustlcton pike single track will again
bo necessary. On tho Bustleton plko
from Cottinan street to the south end
of Bustleton, single track will also be
laid, while from this point to Lott
street, in Bustleton, double track will
be placed. At .proper intervals along
the single track portion on Castor ave
nue turnouts to permit cars to pass are
to be provided. Tlie portion of the line
In Frnnkford and the stretch through
Bustleton will bo girder rait track with
pcrmanentpavlng of granite block, set
in n concrete base. The work will also
include the construction of n steel via
dust ncross Pcnnjrpack Creek. This via
duct will be on a temporary" line cast
of the bridge, placed so as not to
interfere with tho future construction of
a new and wide "concrete bridge at this
point.
