1000 MORE VACCINATED
About iifycn hundred persons were
vaccinated during a smallpox quaran
tine on the block bounded by York,
Huntingdon, Thirtv-iirst and Thirty
t.econd streets. The quarantine was
ordered following the discovery of a
case of smallpox in the home of Fred
erick Parkhuist, BU North Napa
street. Mr. Parkhurst, his wife and
nn have been taken to the Philadel
phia Hcpital for Contagious Diseases.
Sixty-seven per cent of the law stu
dents who took the last preliminary ex
aminations with the Pennsylvania state
board of law examiners learn today that
they failed to meet tho requirements of
thu board. The percentage of failures
in this pxaininntion excepds the records
for several jcars, nccordiug to officials
of the.board.
Members of the board were astonished
at the apparent poor results. Sixty
per cent of the examined usually fall,
it was explained. The examinations
were held simultaneously iu PhilnrieL
phla nud Pittsburgh December 2 nud 3.
I'.igjity-fivc took tho tests here.
'rhestufeuts were quizzed in Eng
lish literature, geography, universiiT
History, Juiiglieli history, algebra, ge
ometrj. United Stntes history, arithme
tic nml Latin.
"What caused the strained relations
between Germany and France which
eliminated in tho oiivLuak of tho re
cent war?" was one of the history ques
tions asked.
Other questions varied from the reign
of King John to giving data jf the
world's greatest battles.
One candidate confessed that h" could
not trend one of the algebra questions
sensibly, Ijt alone answer it.
Prnfesoorv Isidor Mcrzbacher, 5039
niton avenue, who for many years has
epached students for these examina
tions, is of the opinion that the ques
tions were no harder than on prciou3
years.
Professor Mcrzbaclier added that he
felt that the papers were fair in their
askance and that to pursue n success
ful legal career it was necessary to have
the knowledge which the law examineis
seek to instill in the minds of the candidates.

When buying in the Chestnut Street Shop3, one is impressed by
the fact that Chestnut Street merchants seem to avoid that blatant
sin which is vulgarly called "blowing one's own horn." The reason is,
of course, that their goods are 'of the quality that speaks for itself,
and s.o there is no need, for employing the charlatan's methods of
aaveruiiing.

rpHE custom of giving fruit is as
- old as the custom of gift-giving
itself, for in the tombs of the kings
of Egypt, which are the chief source
of our information concerning their
customs, wc find carved figures
bearing aloft offerings of fruit. The
custom is just as popular todiy as it
as in those ancient times, and we
are nioie fortunate than they, for
they had only the fruits which grew
in the valley of the Nile, and we have
those and more. In a gift-basket
from tho store of Henry It. Hallo
well & Son, Broad street below
Chestnut, you will lind Muscat
Orapcs from Alexandria, Cornice
Pears from sunny California, Span
ish Alincria Grapes from Mediter
ranean vineyards, Strawberries from
Florida, Hothouse Grapes from Bel
gium and many other luscious fruits.

' the right kinds of brushes. For
nardwood floors an excellent brush
's oneof Russian bristles, and there
Jfe stiff brushes of tho same shape
for concrete floors. There are lamb's
ool wall brushes and soft white dust
wushes for curtains and portieres.
A radiator brush, too, is verv useful
for it is made so that it will reach
"'cry corner and crevice of tho radi
ator. Button brushes for tufted fu--
riituro are really a necessity in the
house where heavy tapestries catch
ne dust. A silver brush and a
totfry brush should bo part of the
furmshings of a well-equipp?d
Mtchen. You will find all of these at
we store of J. Franklin Miller, 1G12
Uestnut street.
rTHE custom of giving silver as a
wedding present is a time-
; nored and most laudable one.
k nere are three reasons whv silver is
; jo much in favor as a wedding gift

ONCE upon a time I read a
magazine article on the subject
of factories in general and candy
factories in particular. From it I
gathered the impression that a candy
factory was b place of torture second
only to Hades and that 'it was
well, not clean, anyway. But I had
the opportunity yesterday of visiting
Yahn & McDonnell's factory at 1508
Chestnut street, where they make
all of the confections that are sold in
their store at tho same address.
Everything seemed to be white, ex
cept tho stoves, with their shining
copper cauldrons. .It was most in
terestinc to iwatch the process of
chocolate costing, and the girls who
were doing this seemed thoroughly
to enjoy their work. Perhaps that
is one reason why their candies are
so delicious.
THE Cirola. phonograph, a small,
portable instrument, which plays
all makes of records, has been at
tracting a great deal of attention
since it was first placed in the
window of the Steinway Warerooms
at 1111 Chestnut street. It can be
easily carried, for when closed it is
no larger than a small suitcase, and
its handle is a most convenient ad
junct. It is just e thin for week
end partie?. And since it plays
I'ecords from Grand Opera equally
as well as it plays dance music, you
will find it just as delightful for
really serious entertainment. Its
reasonable price makes it reallv in
excusable for any family to be with-'
out music m the home, when you
stop in at the Steinway Wareroomsr
to hear the Cirola, ask also to hear
the most wonderful of all phono-'
graphs, the New Edison. j
FOR lovers of Oriental rugs 1 1
have good news this week. Fritz I
& La Kue, Inc., of 1G15 Chestnut
street, have just receive! the first
shipment of rug3 to leave Asia!
Minor since 1915. One which I saw
was nn Ismidt, of sixteenth-csntury
Ispahan design. Its ground was soft
terra cotta, with pastel greens and
delicate blues in the border. Tho rap
which you may have seen in tho win
dow is an Anatolian. Have you ever!
seen such u wonderful blue any
where, except perhaps in Neapolitan
skies? The border has shades of
soft rose and old ivory. These rugs
are in sizes specially adapted fori
Philadelphia suburban and city 1
homes. It would be wise to make I
your selection now, for, considering
the demand, tho quantity is limited. 1
