T)III1.AHKLPHIA'S brunch of the I
Women's Trade League Is one of
the finest forces in Pennsylvania wink
ing for constructive legislation." de
clared Miss Prances Perkins, who as ,i ;
member of the Industrial Coniniissiou. ,
is said to hold the most important office '
for women in the state of New York.
"Philadelphia alone," said Miss Per
kins, "has more than 1(10.(100 itllilialed i
women member of the national organi
zation's 1100,000. Your Philadelphia
branch of the league, as do all of the
local brandies of the league, wants and
needs the lo-opeiatiou of the schools
and of public-spirited persons in the
vicinity to build up our educational
work. For. joii know, the campaign
of the league is largely an educational
one. Through our classes and our leg
islative programs in state capitals we
are doing a work in Americanization
that many persons know little about be
cause the work goes ipi so quietly.
"I wish I might be able to adeijuntely
express my impression of the impor
tance of the work done by the Phila
delphia local. Hut girls who can do
Mich line work as the Philadelphia girls
are doing, who are as mentally alert as
tliev are. waut opportunity for study.
"The girls want to know something
about industrial hNtorj. trade agree
ments, comparative programs for pro
tective legislation, special subjects like
that, besides classes in poetry and
drama, and the colorful things of life
that offer n contrast to the monotone
of fvlor.t labor.
"I hope Philadelphia, which last
ear. opened its Southern High School
'three nights a week to the garment
workers, is going to co-operate with
its thousands of working girls who want
special courses by opening mole nnd
more facilities. You've such a lot of
these league girls."
The league has established what is
known as an educational council, made
uji of representatives of the league and
the central labor body. Together they j
work out plans for courses that will ,
specially meet the needs of industrial i
gioiips.
"What is your trade?" Mis I'eikins,
wns asked. J
"It is not nccessarv for cwry one in
labor work to have a trade." Miss Per
kins responded. "Not in the league,
any wnj. It is unique among labor
organizations in that it does not re
quire joii to lie a member of a union.
The league represents the tinest. ablest
women in the industrial movement, who
see the labor movement in its wide
relation to education and legislation.
Some of its iik st distinguished members !
in America have no qunliticatinns Tor;
trade union membership, but have many i
qualifications fur teaching industrial
subjects.
"It is tolerant anil broad minded,
a sreiit-lieartril fraternity of working
women, who can, better than any other
group of organization that I know of.
understand not only the foreign girl and
her problems in a new country, but also
the problems that face all girls entering
industry. It is far from being merely'
uu organization for incieiising wages."
STREETS BATHED IN MILK
Milk bottles were scattered every
where at Wajne avcnu and Manheiin
street early today, when a Wayne ave
nue trolley car struck and wrecked a
milk wagon owned by Algernon 11. Han
sel!, of fn.'S Keyser street, and driven
bv Fred Presgrave. twenty nine years
old. of .".OKI Wade street. Many of the
bottles were broken and much of the

! SPRUCE STREET HOLD-UP
Highwaymen Get Watch and Money
1 In Early Morning Hold-Up
Armed highwaymen robbed Frank
Holt, 521 Fifth street. Wilmington,
Del., of n gold watch and a sum of
money on Spruce street, near Alder,
Oils morning.
Holt was walking west on Spruce
street when the two men accosted him
near Alder. One covered him with a
revolver and the other searched his
pockets and removed his valuables. Then
they ran.
Holt called for help. Patrolman
Graham, of the Fifteenth and Locust
streets station, heard him and chased
the two fugitives. At Twelfth street he I
caiigln Samuel Abraham, twenty years
old, 124S South Tenth street. Abraham
will be given a hearing at City Hall
today.
GLAD HE WAS ARRESTED
Man Give $5 to Policeman Who
Saved Him From Thieves
Ilodnev Gallagher, of Monument ave
nue, wandered about the northwestern
section of the city last Snturilay mglit.
Because of his condition he was locked'
up by Policeman Ilrr.dley. of the lwrn
tleth and Huttonwood streets station.
Yesterday Gallagher called at the.
police station and asked for Ilrndley.'
to whom he gave ?.", He said that he'
had two gold watches and $111, and
was sure that the policeman, by nr-!
resting him, saved him from being i
robbed.
The public school situation here pre
sents nn uniKtial contrnst. While there
are '20,000 pupils in various sections
of the city who arc now on part-time,
there nre nine school buildings nnd
numerous classrooms remaining vacant
because not a sufficient number of pu
pils live in the neghborhood where the
bulldidgH are located.
It has been suggested that the Hoard
of Education Install a motorbus sys
tem to enrry children from the eon
t.sti.,1 .lUtrlcts to the unused schools,
but this plan was considered too ex
pensive nnd preenien so muni "
eultics as to make the scheme virtually
Impracticable.
Schools now vacant are: Greenway,
Flftv-second street and Woodland ave
nue jllnrt, York street below Memphis :
Howe Annex. Thirteenth street and
Green lane: Maple Grove. Academy
road: Mechnnlcsville. llyberry: Ogi en,
Twelfth and Itrnndywine streets ! Pitts
ville, Haines street near Limekiln pike:
Uuh .Cresson's corner. Hyberry ; am
Vanx. Twelfth nnd Wood streets.
Funds have been provided by the
Hoard of Fdiication to defray the ex
penses of Dr. George Wheeler, associ
ate superintendent in charge of high
schools, upon a trip to New York ami
Hoston to study methods employed in
those cities to augment the capacity of
high schools. High schools here, like
the elementary schools, nre congested.
Doctor Wheeler expects to make his
tour of inspection next month.
Methods in use in New York and
Hoston, Doctor Wheeler snid, Involved
ii duplication of classes whereby n
greater number of pupils were accom
modated In a building without part
time than is done in an eqtinl
classroom space here. "That method U
already in use in some of our elemen
tary schools," Doctor Wheeler added,
"but I wnnt to see how it operates
in the teaching of higher subjects."

L. B. Card ledger
the main-spring of accounting
Watch manufacturers demand accuracy. They demand
it of the watches they make: they demand it of their
bookkeeping system.
It means something, therefore, to say that the L. B. Card
ledger is used by leading watch manufacturers. It means
that it has met the most rigorous tests and made good.
Some installations are comparatively recent; others are
of years standing. In every case the verdict is the same
"The L. B. Card ledger is the best system of accounting
we have ever had. It has reduced mistakes and worry and
helped the work of the whole office 1"
The Library Bureau Card ledger lifts every accounting
department to new heights of speed and accuracy. It does
this first of all because it is fundamentally correct in prin
ciple and in method.
Visit any one of our salesrooms and let us show you the
advantages of the L. B. Card ledger for machine posting,
and a record of what it has done .not only for watch manu
facturers, but for banks and commercial houses the country
over.
