Church lnlty Proposal I
Tho movement for church unitv took
another step forward with the in- i
traduction of the "concordance" or
plan which lepiescntntivcs of the f'on
gregatioual and Epibcopnl churches have
agreed on as u means bv which the lirst
named can unito with tho Episcopal
cnuruu. j
The report, presented by a commit- !
tee ot w filch Hishop Jlhinelander. of
Pennsylvania, is a member, is, in part,
as follow r-
"We are agreed that it is our Lord's
purpose that believers in Him should
bo ,11110 viibie socieU. Into such a
society, which we recognue as the
Holy Catholic Church, they aie initiated
by baptism, wherebv thev are admit
ted to fellowship with Mini and with
one another.
"The unity whiili was essential to
His church's cfTcetive witness and work
in the world must express and main
tain this fellowship. It cannot be
fully realised without community of
worship, faith and order, including
common participation in the Lord's
Supper. .Such unitv would be com
patible with it rich diversity in life and
worship.
"We have not discussed the origin
of the episcopate historically or its
authority doctrinnlly. but we ngiee to
acknowledge that the recognized position
of- the, episcopate in the gieater part
df Christiandom us the normal nucleus
nf the church's ministry and as the
jJrgan of the unity and continuity ot
- the church is such that the members
of tho Episcopal churches ought not
to be expected to abandon it in assent
ing to any basis of reunion.

Christian churches not accepting the

SEEK TO RECOVER DAMAGES
Employers) in this city are inter
ested in a suit filed in the Federal Dis
trict Court here to test the right of
union employes to call n strike and
thus break a contract with their cm
ploycrs.
The suit is unique in that n judg
ment is being asked iguiust the striking
rniplovcs for financial losses caused by
the alleged contract breach.
Suit was filed by the Schuylkill Elee
trie Hallway, which has not been able
to operato its lines since tho strike
began more than n week ago.
The trolley lines of the company cover
a ast territory in SehmlMII county.
"We ate determined to make n test,"
a statement from the company an
nounces. "We arc determined to ascer
tain whether n font tact made by an
cmploe is as binding in law as it Is if
made by an ctnplnjcr. Of course, the
law is n farce unless it is.
"In this case the men and the union
had n contract with the Schuylkill
Company which would not terminate,
until next month. Hut 'the road is tied
up tight and has been so for ten days,
I because the men violated their agree
ment. The compnuy's loss is one for
I which we think we have redress at law.
I "Some of the emplojcs own leal
estate and a judgment against them
would be more than n cuip of paper.
It is time that men who innke agree
ments be taught they aie obliged under
the law to fulfill them, ex en if thej
do not feel any obligation to do so
pcisomilly."

IC.HT II ENDUED students at the
vcrsity of Tennsjlvanla want
Harry Hill, a deformed and i rippled
negro, to be allowed to operate his con
fectionary stand in College Hull.
A petition drawn tip by students has
brought an avnlanchu of signatures. It
pioposes to cull tho attention of the
I'nlAersit) authorities that for appar
ently little reason the negro's privilege
of operating his little "eats" stand in
the basement of the college building .has
been taken fiom him. i
Hill is u unique character. Every
one knows him, and his cheery saluta
tion "How are ou, friend?"
When Hill was a jnuug man lie was
nttacked by a strange disease ailed bv
surgeons osttosureoma. II is bones
were rotting away and only the most
delicnte of operations would save him.
He went to the I'mvcrsitv Hospital nnd
there Dr. .1. William White and Dr.
Charles Harrison Fra7ier. skillful sur
geons, operated on him. j
It was necessary for the surgeons to
cut away the entire left nrni and shnul
der and nlso a rib. Hut the surgujl.
feat proved successful and the deadl) '
disease was checked.
Hill's left car is in peculiar cireiim
stance for it is nttuched to the head
by but a very little tissue at the lower
and upper ends of the lobe. A pair nf
glasses, with bows far too short and
tight, wore the back of the car away,

The students' friend is partialiv

Four oi; the largest tire companies
use the L. B. Automatic index
There is no secret about the reason.
They use the L. B. Automatic index because it is quick,
accurate and understandable. They use it because it is
tho best system of filing and w-filing ever devised. They
wouldn't have it around for ten minutes if it wasn't.
Any filing system that stands-up and delivers for four of
the largest tire companies in the world just has to be
good. Few businesses have grown so rapidly. Few have
such a tremendous mass of detail.
The L. B. Automatic index has cheerfully carried
load and come through without a puncture.
It is quick as a "flash and as accurate as mathematics.
It checks and double checks itself against errors. It removes
every excuse for making mistakes. And yet it is simple
Come in and put it to the test yourself. The L. B. Auto
matic index is as adaptable to the needs of the man in the
small office as to the business that covers acres.

Volume Makes Value!
Nearly Half-a-Million Dollars5
Worth of FURS!
This establishment is one of the great retail economy models of the
country: the power of organization, tho price-reducing process that cuts
eventual cost, the system that creates Volume, Variety and Value. This, in
deed, is the Mawson and DeMany plan: the single thought that has placed
this store on the plane it occupies that of manufacturing Furs and retail
ing them to Philadelphia at prices that defy competition, at prices impossible
to department stores or small furriers not organized for a business based on
immense Volume. ' i
Yes, Philadelphia, and at prices that are today less than the average
by a full 25 to 30 Per Cent!
