Same Old Calliope
Tail-Ends Parade
Continued From Page One
They always make me mad. They walk
along so cool like, with their irises In
the air tapping their reservoir when
ever they feel like it. And the polar
bears that get wet down when it's hot
nnd coddled when it's cold. Oy ! Cool
as cucumbers in spite of their furs.
And nlwn.vs slftwing off. with their
jajxing from side to side in their cages
continous. They know the kids are
watching them.
"Did you notice the mottoes and pic
tures on the moving cages, aud the Lib
erty Bond posters? I always believe
in impioviug the public mind. If not
b.v music, which is more in my line, then
hy littature. Did jou .see how the
kids take to them pictures? 'The Lion's
Bride' shows them what marriage life
sometimes is. 'The Good Samaritan,'
showing the poor guy the highwayman
got. especially inspiring mercy in the
figure of the helping neighbor. Then
there is n nice quiet homey picture of
fisher folk hauling in the nets.
Where Calliope is Appreciated
"I like these big and little kids that
play, hooky from school aud work to
see me and the parade. The old ones
come out sort of shy, with one eje
cocked around to see who's looking at
them. But they soon forget everything
but the parade. And when I trail
along at the end they are about ready
to get mad that there isn't anymore.
"Come to tlic( show, come to the
show; u caravan of color like you'd
never hoped to see," wheezed the cal
liope. And the shriek of the old boy
died away down Broad street.
The Start
The "big event" left Nineteenth
street and Hunting Park avenue at
8:30 o'clock this morning and pro
teeded to Broad street, theuce to Wash
ington avenue, where it will counter-
match on Broad street to Germantown
avenue and back to the circus lot.
Everybody in the combined Barnum &.
Bailey and Hingling Brothers' "Great
est Show on Earth" who vva?n t iiecded
to guard the tents was in that proces
sion. The circus Is here for the week
nnd every kid in the city is happy.
Accused of Passing Bogus Coins
Accused of passing counterfeit half
dollars on downtown merchants, Sal
vatore Lorenzo, thirty jears old, Fitz
water street near Eighth, was ar
rested today by agents of the Depart
ment of Justice. Lorenzo had a large
number of coins in his possession. Ac
cording to the government officials,
Lorenzo would enter a store nnd make
a small purchase, then obtain bills for
ns many of the pieces ns the agent
would accept. It is believed that he
was the "go between" nnd not the
counterfeiter of the coins.

Vare Not on Scene
Senator Vnre has not jet arrived op
the scene. Politicians are awaiting
with interest the arrival of the Phila
delphia lender.
From his home in Ambler, Senator
Varc sent the cryptic message that if
he was alive he would be in his seat in
the Senate tonight.
Senator Vare is hardly expected to
call the municipal affairs committee to
gether nnd report the Woodward chur
ter bills out tonight unless strong pres
sure is brought to bear. There is a prob
ability that the committee will not meet
to take action on the charter bills until
tomorrow.
Real Fight in House
It is not expected that either the
charter bills or the registration bills
will meet with much opposition in the
Senate. The Vare forces, of course,
will oppose the measures, but they arc
expected to pass by safe majorities.
The House will witness the real fight
on the Philadelphia hills. Amendments
to the mensurcs which will modify the
contract clause and make other changes
to meet objections to them in their
present shape are expected to be made
in committee in the lower chamber.

The emergency ambiilnnce in which they
were riding was coining down tbe mid
dle path of the boulevard ou the right
side, as the trufho rules demunded.
The nurses say it was impossible to
avoid the collision, and such was the
force of the hend-on impact that both
machines were badly damaged.
The occupants of the speeding ma
chine were thrown out, while the nurses
were tumbled in a heap on the floor of
the ambulance. Passing automobiles
took some of the injured to the Frank

the accident, deserting three girls who
had recently met them nnd vyho had ac

1500TENANTSHERE
KICKTOGOVERNWIENT
Assistant Federal Attorney
Handling Complaints Against
Alleged Profiteering Landlords J
MANY IGNORANT OF RIGHTS
.Fifteen hundred Philadelphia lenapts
have filed complaints of profiteering by
landlords with Assistant United States
Attorney II. .T. Sterrett in the last fW
weeks.
' "Ih nearly every Instance, tbe land
lords hive threatened eviction unless
the increased rentals asked are paid.
Mr. Sterrett is giving special atUn-,'
tion to the cases of the families of serv-H
ice men, who, under the soldiers' and
sailors' civil rigbts act, are protected
against eviction. He found that man:
tenants were unaware of their rights
and as a result have been subjected to
much hardship.
"Owing to the fact that a great
shortage of dwellings exists, it ffe-f
qtlcntly happens," said Mr. Sterrett,
"that forcing one tenant to move in-l
volves changes by two or three other!
dwellers, which Is svnat the reol es
tate men of that character look for,
as favorable to raise rents. 'With nine
houses for ten tenants, unless some
thine ean he done to increase aeconv
modations, the situation threatens to be
serious.
"A bill has been recently framed and
will shortlv be introduced at Harris
burg providing that certain specific
neriods must exist ns between date 0
notification nnd date of eviction, which
will allow tenants suflicient time to loel
for habitation."
