Mr. Kelsev is the architect who de signed the Pan-American building in Washington, ana it was urged inacne hfi nnnntntpfl in n nosltirm of consulting architect at the time when John D. Cas- sell was raised from superintendent ot janitors' service to superintendent of huilrlintrs. with the responsibility of spending several millions of dollars on tne improvement ot seuooi Duuaings in this city. "Unfortunately," he said, "the board still stubbornly adheres v(o its recent ap pointment of tho ex-superintendent of janitor's service to act as architect for several million dollars worth of "new buildings and thereby displays a little mindedncss and a lack of progrcssiveness that is incomprehensible. "One does not have to go to Canada nor to the Middle West to reo what well-trained architects hav' done for public bchool properties. Thn Colfax School in Pittsburgh is a model, while the New high school now building in Bethlehem is much finer than any yet planned for Philadelphia. Eric, Pa., went to St. Louis for the best bchool architect in United States. "Needless to say, all three of these cities will have much better buildings than there is any prospect as yet o ob taining for Philadelphia, and yet right here we have the best college of archi tecture, but architecture means so lit tle to our Board of Education that it persists in entrusting seven million dol lars worth of improvements to a jani tor! Could anj thing be less scientific, more shortsighted, more wasteful and a more deadly blow to the progress of the city." POP! ANOTHER PRICE UP Circuses and Excursions Threaten to Become Dry as Sahara Zip ! Pop ! The price of pop is up. Even the circuses now threaten to become dry and will have to &erve a one-course meal of peanuts There is special mourning on the ex cursion boats. Music will have to flow from the harp and violin without the accompaniment of gentle gulps of lemon pop through bent straws, and no longer will empty bottles dunce a merry jig on the deck. It can't be helped. The price of sugar has doubled, labor has doubled, extracts have gone up 80 per cent, bot tles, hauling and everything "connected with the bottling business has gone up and no relief is in sight, so the price has gone up, too. Beginning Monday the five-cent bot tles will sell for seven, cases of twenty four bottles will sell for .'T with a refund of twenty-five cents for emp ties; large bottles will rise to $2 a dozen with sixty cents refund.

Like a little old woman, she folded her hands in her lap with a sigh of thnnkfulness because a nurse had come. "Now I'll have time to wash the children," she Mild. - - She has been cook, nurse and house keeper for six adults ill with influenza and five younger children. But, with tho death of her sister, Mrs. Annii Natale, early yesterday, the child broke down and fled to n neighbor with her sorrowful story. Today neighbors, nurses, ministers and other philan thropicallyr inclined folk have visited the home, offering their services. All the wage-earners got down sick at once, but I guess we'll pull through somehow." Protected Children It was Veronica's mother. Mrs. George Summcrfield, who voiced her op timism between spasms of coughing. She is the most seriously ill of the five sufferers now. She has developed pneu monia. Lying beside her in the ssime bed are two married daughters, Mrs. Henrietta Kenny and Mrs. Marie Kelly. The latter is almost well enough to get up. They have stnyed in the one little bedroom because they wanted to protect the children, from influenza germs. The little folk, all under seven jears old, except Veronica, sleep and play in the front bedroom upstairs. The father is on a couch in the dining-room down stairs. In the little parlor lies Mrs. Natale, who died yesterday. Her hus band is ill, too, but he got up out of bed yesterday because borne one had to help Veronica. "Tho children have been pretty good," said Veronica today. "I make them wait on themselves, 'cause I haven't had time. I guess we need clean clothes most of all. But since- mamma got sick there hasn't been any way to get the laundry done. We haven't had a lot to eat because there wasn't any one to fix much. But we'41 be all right now. No Hot Water "You stay up there in bed, Sadie, till I get your stockings," the little housekeeper called to a golden-haired child peering down the Btairs. "I don't want any more in the family sick," she added. Catherine, Sadie and Elizabeth are children of Mrs. Kenny- Fayette and Cora are Veronica's little brother and sister. Several of them have bad colds. A nurse was sent by the city de partment of health today after tho case had been reported by neighbors. There was no hot water in the house. The rooms were heated separately by small gas stoves or oil heaters. Air. Sum merfield refused to allow any of them to be taken to the hospital. "My wife would die if they moved her," he said. "And the rest of us are better. If we just have a nurse we will be getting along fine. I'll soon be up. Veronica has been a brick, but we'll all be able to help some now." " CITY NEEDS TRAINED WOMEN Mcllhenny Says Phila. Wants More With College Education Philadelphia does not stand for col lege education for women, according to John B. Mcllhenny, who talked to the husbands and fathers of Smith College alumnae at a luncheon in the City Club today. "If woman is to takej her place in the solution of coming political and social questions it is necessary that there be more college-trained women in the country, especially in Philadelphia," fcaid Mr. Mcllhenny. "Unfortunately, Philadelphia does not stand for college education for women as do New England and west ern cities. We must educate this city up to education." Professor Everett Kimball, of the Smith College faculty, explained the needs of the college for the $4,000,000 endowment fund which is being raised. $1.25 War Tax- -10e Additional Seashore Excursions On account of conditions created by storm, excursion will not be operated to Ocean City on Sunday, February 8tlu Excursions to Atlantic City and Capo May will be run as usual.

He is Tommy O'Dare. a political i worker in ihn Thirteenth tvnril. nnd n ' -- - -- , -- supporter of Vare Leader John R. K. Scott. O'Dare's resignation, together with those of three other inspectors, was re quested a few days ago. Informed that he would not be acceptable under the new order of things, O'Dare, according to Chief Hepburn, of the Bureau of Street Cleaning, said: "That's nil right, chief. I intended to resign, anjhow. I am a Vare man, have always been n Vare man nnd al ways will be. I will be here long after you and Mayor Moore are gone." Not Dcrellrt in Duty At his home, 032 Nectarine street, O'Dare admitted that he was u Vare mun. He denied, however, that he was derelict jn his duty. He nlso denied thnt he quit rather than make a street cleaning report unfavorable to the Vnres.

"It was his innbility to adjust him self to new conditions that caused me to nsk for his resiguation," said Mr. Hepburn.

"I'm going to see the chief," he add ed, "then jou will know about them." O'Dare indicated that the chief was John R. K. Scott. "It's politics pure and simple." said O Dare. "When Mr. Hepburn called me to City Hall he said, 'I want your resignation.' Ho was very pleasant about it. He even smiled." "What reason did he give for re questing your resignation?" O'Dare was asKca. "He didn't give any," replied O'Dare. npHE Restaurants listed below are famous - for their dining service, superb cooking and their cental ntmofinVierr.
