Mr. Robins's resignation has shifted
the controvorsy more or less from the
teaching body to the administrative de
partment. Since the resignation of Tro
fessor J. Russell Smith last spring,
there has been n 2." per cent increase in
teachers' salaries, but, nccordlng to Mr.
Robins, no increase at nil In his own
department.
Further developments in the very
near future are expected la ttU, new
quarter, ns considerable dissatisfaction
has been expressed by those employed in,
the administration department.
Mr. Robins was a newspaper man
beforo he took the position of secretary
at the University. He was born in
France, b"iit came ns a child to thli
country. Ho worked on newspapers in
the east and west. In 1800 he went to

Right in the heart of the above illustration is the shop of I rank
J. Curry, 812 Chestnut street, a typical position for it to occupy, ns it
stands well entrenched, in the heart of the downtown shopping section,
and in the hearts of its nany patrons. In the business since boyhood,
Mr. Curry, throilgh his individual efforts and close application to
details, early realized his ambitions. Ho took an important step upon
the ladder of success when, in 1907, he opened his first wholesale and
retail professional Camera and Photographic Supply Store at 002 Fil
bert street, introducing foreign roll film pocket Cameras into this coun
try. Since moving to Chestnut street he has branched out to include
engraving, stationery, gift articles and many unusual cards for usual
occasions.

OULDN'T you like to do the
same as the American Naval
officers of the NC-4? You
can. On their daring air journey to
Europe they carried a Ferrostat, the
first to cross the ocean in a seaplane,
and if it was satisfactory to such
high fliers, it surely would be to
those who stick close to earth. Know
what it is? A clever vacuum bottle
with a nonbreakable filler, sold at
the House Furnishing Store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
street. If you ever had a vacuum
bottle go back on you on an nuto
trip you will appreciate the comfort
of one where the fragile glass is re
placed by an interior lining of highly
glazed enamel, fused to the inner
steel shell. Nothing to remove, re
place, rust or get out of order, and
it comes in different sizes.
THAT there is nothing new
under tho sun is as true of
Rugs made of grass as of other
things, for the aborigines of nearly
all lands have woven their native
grasses into mats and hangings to
decorate their huts, but their crude
efforts were as different from the
artistic De Luxe Grass Rugs sold to
day at Fritz & La Rue's, 1124 Chest
nut street, as were the weaveis
themselves from their modem fellow-craftsmen.
These extremely
serviceable and durable De Luxe
Rugs, running anywhere from 3x6
ft. to 9x12 ft. (or larger if made to
order), are appropriate for any
room, as the colors and designs are
vaiied. It is also possible to get the
large sizes with little ones to match,
a great convenience when bare spots
in oow windows, etc., need covering.
THEY say every back is fitted
for its burden, which explains
how Oppenheim. Collins & Co.,
Chestnut and 12th streets, bore the
burden of that record-breaking sale
of damaged goods and surplus stock,
which they held last week. Any less
well organized a force would have
lost their heads and tempers, for the
rush continued days, though not in
such crushing numbers as on Tues
day. And how the men enjoyed the
sight that day! Poor dears', there
was nothing for them to scramble
for, and they didn't realize envy was
actuating their jeering remarks.
But all that is past, and the shop has
settled down to normal condition,
with a brand-new stock of fresh
"pretties"; skirts, gowns, blouses,
sweaters, etc., galore, ready for the
Fourth of July outings.
SOME thirty years ago Edison
showed how musical sounds
could De reproduced, and since
then numerous talking machines
have been developed, but until the
New Edison Phonograph (sold bv N
Stetson & Co., at llll Chestnut

tone quality that stamps the New
