niamlnp the failure of the ltnrpnii

Alienees." Kobert 0. Hicks, chief of the
bureau, nt a luncheon of the Untnn
Club, at the Hotel Atlelphin. nked Hip
aid of. the member in his light for hot
ferments.
Chief Hicki illustrated his talk with
pictures portraying rubbWli heaps, and
declared thnt when the police arrest of

i me occuseu rpi inmiential friends to se
jw-cure their release. He explainrd that
""cu iuii if ihpiip mc policeman mho
makes the nrrest takes it as n slap in
the face, and ns he does not like that
kfnd of thing, he makes no similar ar
rests. The speaker (.aid lie plans liawnj: in
troduced in Councils an ordinance which
would relieve the city of the responsi
bility of the removal of waste -et nut
on the sidewalks by small mercantile
establishments. The bill, he claimed.
'would diminish the cost of collections.
Another proposition sucRcsled was that
if every thorouchfnre in the center of
Mhte city were repnved the task of keep
ing ,tne streets in n cleanlj condition
would be materially lessened.
The chief defended the contractor
system as "just and sensible." but de
clared that one-year rnntrncts nre not
satisfactory. He arsuecl that a longer
v contract would benefit the municipalitv.
in that there would not be n constant
fluctuation or prices and changing of
contracts.

that this is due not only lo (lie prob-

"Never since I have been nt Ilryn

If you do not have a Victrola, we offer certain outfits
composed of a Victrola and a group of records. You may

1RST place, we doubt
if any store in Phil
adelphia can offer you
the sayings that these
figures contain for guar
anteed pure wool sum
mer suits.-
Next place, we doubt if any store
has the variety of styles, confined
exclusively, that we have to show.
This is because a number of our
own Philadelphia manufacturers
have agreed to give these patterns
exclusively to us because we are
buying these silk-lined suits by the
thousands and, incidentally, we are
selling them by the thousands.
Skirted coats with "railroad"
stitching, camouflage styles, three-in-one
designs, double breasted and
single breasted suits. All of them
lined with the silks that have made
them famous.
You can see them either in
twenty of the city's leading moving
picture shows, or in our windows.
THE difference in the way the Liberty
rides and drives is unmistakable.
This difference makes itself felt in the
first fifteen minutes of driving.
It is a difference, for one thingj in
steadiness a steadiness that holds the
road as well with one passenger in the
tonneau, as with three.
It is a difference in power performance
in ease of control at all times with
out apparent effort.
These superiorities are so marked as
to be astonishing even to seasoned
judges of motor car values.
They are so evident that we know of
no better way to win your preference
than to let the Liberty assert its own
difference and superiority in a demon- 5
stration ride. N
