TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
To Start Work Immediately on
Structure for Extending
Patriotic Teachings
MAY
BECOME MEMORIAL
Trustees of Tcfnple University an
nounced today that they will proceed
at once with the construction of n largo
additional building adapted to the needs
of thc'instltntion.
Specifications for the structure,
which will be situated In Broad street,
between Berks and Montgomery ave
nue, have already been drawn up.
Consideration is being given lo at
suggestion from the alumni Hint it be
dedicated as n memorial to Pennsyl
vania soldiers in the world war. The
building is planned for ue in the ex
tension of pntriotie'education.
President Conwell is in favor of the
memorial idea, as the institution has
been making special efforts to provide
for the education of the common sol
dier. The officers' training school,
bqeked by tho government in connec
tion with the Temple University, is
certain to be a permanent institution
and be largely patronized. At the last
meeting of the government officials it
was proposed nnd favored by all to
ask the government to make the uni
versity officers' training school an ad
junct oT West Point nnd the university
asked the government to take the initial
step by giving all graduates of the Tem
pi University officers' training school
clear admission to West Toinl without
examination.
Tt has also been proposed by officials
at the aavy yard that Temple Univer
sity establish its courses of instruction
at the navy yard. It is possible, under
the Temple University plan, to give
each soldier and sailor while in the
government service such thorough in
struction that each vyill be able to pass
examinations for a college or university
degree at any ot the great universities.
Many of the schools under the T. M. "!.
A. In France are conducted by grad
uates of the Temple University, nnd
Doctor Conwcll's book. "How n Soldier
May Succeed After the Wnr," opened
up a very large correspondence with the
soldiers in Uurope, showing that there
Is an ambition nnd n need among them
lo give them practical and useful stud .
during their many hours of loneliuess. j
especially in times of peace. i

and Zaraias Ciomcz, chairman nnd
executive secretary of the committee to
promote Philippine independence, for
the use of Independence Hall in which
to bold a convention of Filipinos from
all sections of this country, lias been
refused. The request was made to
Joseph C. Smith, secretary and brother
of Mavor Thomas P., Smith, iu the

communicated with the State Depart
ment, as to whether it would be proper

The inquiry was transferred to the
War Department, and yesterday Sec

"Unrequited
Salesmanship"
When you buy an automobile, an electric launch
or a new Swiss Brown, you become not only an
owner but an advocate.
Your judgment leads not only to investment, but
to partisanship, for a time. You act as an "unre
quited salesman" in the words of a well-known
advertising man.
One of the chief accomplishments of advertising
is to keep active the enthusiasm of the owner-advocates
and to furnish perhaps a brief for his continued
special pleading.
Obviously a man cannot brag conveniently of the
nameless or the brandlcss.
Advertising makes it easier- for the user to point
with pride and in stimulating unrequited salesman
ship adds seven-league boots to any product.
Advcrtisivij spare in the Rtittcriek pitblicttlinii
is for sale by accredited advertising apeneics.

The Thanksgiving
Victory Liberty Loan
It is th Thanksgiving Loan, because it is to finish
paying for the vast operations that made possible the end
ing of the war in 1918 instead of 1920, the time predicted
by most of the military experts. Another year of war
would have cost at least a hundred thousand more Amer
ican lives, and we should be facing new loans of fifteen to
twenty billions this year instead of four and one-half
billions.
What a happy privilege it is to help, simply by loan
ing money and getting a liberal rate of interest!
Our soldier boys have finished their part of the great
contract. We who stayed at home will -gladly finish ours.
Buy Victory Bonds at the Strawbridge & Clothier
Liberty Loan Booth, payable at the periods designated by
the Government or join our VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
CLUB and pay for them in fifty weekly payments.
Speaking of THANKSGIVING, wouldn't it be a good
idea for th'President to designate NOVEMBER ELEV
ENTH as our permanent national Thanksgiving Day, in
stead of the last Thursday of November?
