ARE TO BE ESTABLISHED
Wheat and pilll feed brokers of Phila
dclpljla contended that the order which
went into effect today discontinuing the
old diverting privilege on the Lehigh
"Valley Railroad will have the effect
of driving them out of business.
The order was Issued by the rail
road administration at Washington nnd

with the busldcss Interests of this city.
The discontinuance of the diversion
privilege will add greatly to the ex
pense of handling grain In the East and
put Philadelphia brokers at the mercy
of the business men of tho West, the
local business men say.
Old officials of the Pennsylvania Hall
road, who were in complete sympathy
with this city, originated tho diversion
scheme many years ago, in order to en
able local' business Arms to engage in
tho wheat-and feed business in competi
tion with western firms. Slnco then
other roads have granted the same priv
ilege, but at the beginning of tho war,
when the government took over all rail
roads, tho privilege was discontinued by
all lines except tho Ichigh Valley.
Under the fechemo it is possible for
Philadelphia firms to get the same
freight rates that are available to
western dcnlers by having consign
ments Bhlppcd to Altoona, Pa., and
Sayre, Pa., great distributing points In
this section, and later "diverted" to
other points. in the East at the through
freight rate from the West. Dealers
fiay it also permits moving the entire
crops as soon as they arc harvested In
the West, thus preventing railroad tlo
ups due to winter freezes in the West
nnd Northwest from cutting off the sup
plies of grains nnd feeds in the East.

in Fight
jyrOItE Stclghton Farms are needed
A throughout the country, and tho
American Social Hygiene Association of
New York has called upon Mrs. Martha
P. Falconer, superintendent of the
Farm School for Girls, to help in es
tablishing them.
For more than twelve years Mrs
Falconer has been in charge of the
school for girls and has instituted a
number of improvements that have
helped to establish a national reputation
for'the school nnd its work for women.
Probably within a month Mrs. Fal
coner will leave for New York to take
up her duties as head of the department
of delinquent girls and women, and at
once she will start investigating condi
tions and doing advisory work with
state and municipal officials in the
South and Southwest.
Hellenes it "a Woman's Job"
"I believe in women," says Mrs.
Falconer, "and this is a womnn'a job.
ocnoois line sieignton farms are a
new thing In the South nnd Southwest
and aro greatly needed. It will be part
of my new duties to do advisory work
with municipal and state officials and
stimulate interest with the club women
in tho fight.
"There is need everywhere for the
better caro of delinquent girls nnd
women nnd the standardization of rc-
Lformatorlcs and houses of detention.
"Slelghton Farms was the first re
form school to use colored officer) and
colored teachers for the colored people.
About one-fourth of our people are
colored and 'the plan has worked out
with wonderful success. That sort of
thing is unknown in tlie south nnd it
is ono of the things which I shall have
to show them. When they say to me,
It won't work,' I shall tell them to
go to Slelghton Farms and see it work
ing.
Girls at Work on Farm
"Another thing that we.havo been
doing is putting the girls to work on
the farm. Agriculture and raising of
chickens nnd other sorts of farm work,
I believe in for the rehabilitation work.
"Student government has also been
introduced. I have my college girl
assistants to thank for that.
"So I shall just be trying to estab
lish more Slelghton Farms where they
are needed and getting the club women,
everywhere, interested. The club
women can be a great power in secur
ing legislation.
"The work which I shall do will also
be preventive. We are not trying to
establish schools and neglect the cause.
The government is doing a great deal
for the preventive work, also. This
problem is not only n medical one but is
a matter of education and law enforce
ment as well."

"The Guaranty in
tk Banh or'MaJ"
Many early Philadelphtens hid their
money in "safe places, ' only to find it
gene vl15n they went to recover it.
, For them there was some excuse, nkjn
those days of long ago the advantages of
banking were not so widely known or so
easily obtainable as they are today.
To keep large sums of money in the
home or office is unsafe failure to profit
by the interest which that money would
earn is unwise.

Why do you
buy a certain
make of tire?
Do you choose
tires because
they are made
by a secret for
mula? Or do you buy
them to secure
safe, pleasurable
riding for many
miles at low cost
per mile?
And because
they require in
frequent attention?
If these qualities
appeal to you, as they
do to most motorists,
your next tire will
be a Brunswick.
Just try one on
your own car. Keep
its record against
any other. A year
from now you'll have
all Brunswicks.
