Spanning tho distance between the

nnd eliminating the middleman is n
solution for the problem of high prices,
Mrs. Mary A. AVilson, food expert of

women of Beverly, N. J.
Sixty wo len, members of the Para
graph Club, nnd an equal number of
ihildirn from the public schools of the
town where domestic science comses are
begun lu the fifth grade, attended the
economy talk nnd learned thnt snviug
In tho country was as necessary as sav
ing in the big cities.
"I Bhould like to sec the contact be
tween the suburban districts nsd the
cities so close that there would be no
room for tho middleman to sepieeze
through with his profiteering," taid
Mrs AVilson
"The women in the rural districts
hnve as big a rcsponsibllit in solv
ing the problem of high costs ns the
organized women in the cities who are
getting together to combat the profiteer.
They should bojec-tt the high-priced
foods. Those near to the sources of
food supplies Bhould sate and con
tiibute their small savings to those who
lite in the larger cities Ci eating a
surplus in necessary foods Is the only
sure way of bringing the cost of liv
lug down."
Following her tnlk, Mrs. Wilson
demonstrated cake making and tgg
less majonnaise dressing.

The rescue of Reel Cross data and ma
terial was the sole thought in tho minds
of the three Main Line society women
who yesterday prevented the -spread of
a fire on, the second floor of the Merlou
Title Building at Ardmorc.
Mrs. Alexander Brown and Mrs.
Henry 0. Knrnshnw. of Bryn Mnwr,
and Mis. llarland C. Nicholson, of
Ardmorc. were the three women who
I nroved themselves heroines when nn ex
plosion in a room opposito the Bed
Cross headquarters threatened to de
velop Into a Feriotfj blaze.
William Jennings, nn employe of an
clectricnl concern, was working lu the
room and struck a match near n leak
ing gas pipe. There was a roar and a
sheet of flamo shot up. Tho Red Cross
workers across the hall, who had just
finished a meeting, rushed into the hall.
Mrs. Brown. Mrs. l'arnshnw nnd
Mrse. Nicholson obtained n Hie extin
guisher and kept the fire down until
help arrived.
Mrs. Brown confessed this morning
that they were ten Hied for n moment,
but that the main thought in the minds
of all of them, was sating ncd Croi-s
material which ttns stored in their
room.
Jennings was burned about the head
nnd was taken to the Brjn Mawr Hos
pital in Mrs. Karnshaw's automobile.

Fur Event
Extraordinary
F you would save on Furs to the immense extent in this Sale's opportuni
ties, then you must determine to shop here tomorrow Avithout fail :
We bought $110,000 DO Worth of Fur Skins from a prom
inent New York Skin dealer at price concessions
enabling us to offer you 25 to 30 Per Cent Savings!
This Avas a mutually satisfactory deal this skin merchant needed
ready cash to buy out his. partner's interest, his capital being tied up in the
A'oluminous stocks of raw skins that flooded his- Avarehouse. This is the
case with the majority of large mercantile ventures, but Ave saw the oppor
tunity. Our offer Avas small compared to the value of the goods, but tempt
ing enough to the man who wanted the money. He accepted. We bought.
And then manufactured. Now the goods are here, but we must announce
