William A. Law, President of
First National, Says It Will
Prevent Hard Times
EXTRAVAGANCE MUST STOP
Upturn to thrift, frugality and sim
ple living to lirins th country bnck to
normal conditions was urged by Wil
liam A. Law, president of tbe First
National Hank of Philadelphia, at a
dinner of the Ben Franklin Club held
last night at the Hotel Adclphia.
Mr. Law said the day was fast ap
proaching when there would be more
men thau there were job's : prices and
interest rates would go down, securi
ties would go up and living would be
easier.
"The cWdonce in certain lines that
prices will boon go the other way is
irresistible," said Mr. Law. "The fact
jhat the output in some lines is in ex
cess of the cnnMimntiou will be the big
factor in bringing this about. There
Mill soon be more men than there are
jobs and the riot of extravagance will
Stop. AVheu this time comes we may
not be making as largo gross incomes,
but our net incomes will be larger.
SVages and the rate of interest will be
lower aud securities will be higher.
People will then be able to live more
happily and better."
HIT SUBTREASURY AGAIN
Annual Recommendation of Aboli
tion of Branch Here Made
The abolition of the Philadelphia sub
Ircasury and eight other subtrcasuries
in various sections of the country has
been recommended again by tbe House
appropriations committee.
The recommendation is an annual one,
it was said at the local subtreasury,
and has been coming up regularly for
twelve j cars. Kach year tho appro
priations committee of the S'enate ap
pears to take delight in not accepting
the recommendation
Hard work, long hours and need ot
Infinite, patience have had no terrors
for Mrs. Frederick II. How land uud
the twelve wotneu who form the com
mittee in charge of the church sen ice
recruiting office of the Protcstant-VIpis-copal
Church, in tho diocese of l'enu-
lvnnln
Virtually every tiny for a cnr Mrs. j f
Howlunu bus sat at her ilcsk in the cor
riclor of the Church 1Ioum Twelfth
and Walnut btrceN, ns nctiug intel
ligence officer. With city missions,
hospitals and welfare organizations cry
ing for workers and hundreds of men
and women released from war work
wanting to be of assistance to humanity,
the recruiting ofhec bus acted as u
clearing house.
"More than 103 mcu and women have
been given work to do in some of the
church's organizations during the last
year," said Mrs. Howlaml. "Every
tjpe, nationality and degree of wealth
hao been represented in the men and
women who have applied here for some
tiling to do. It is all volunteer work,
you see, and it Isn't ulwns easy to
make the job .and the olunteer fit.
Often we lime to concert the Munteer
to the cause in which he is most needed
"In one card catalogue we list the
calls for help. Tn another we li-t the
names of volunteers. Wo have never
been able to get as many workers as
we need. City missions are cring for
helpers. Sunday school teachers, hos
pital visitors uud eutertuiners arc prob
ably most in demand. Anything in the
world women and men did at home dur
ing the war they can do now for Amer
ican humanity. Wo aren't trying to
get people who are already church
workers to work harder. In fact, we
aren't appealing just to church peo
ple. Wo want to reach tho outsiders,
to get every one interested in this great
Americanization movement There is
work for every one.
"We hRVC done almost every varietj
of work here in this, our first year's
existence, as a recruiting office. When
folks Iiaro clothing thev don't know
what to do with the tell us about it.
When some one has talent for singing
or actlug aud is willing to help we send
them among the shut-ins and sick. Doz
ens of oluntcers huc helped in the
community cafeterias. There is nl'
wa.s some place for the person who is
willing to work." '

A Real Overcoat Bargain
And This is the Reason
Our opening of this store was delayed and naturally
the overcoats we bought must be sacrificed for quick
clearance. 400 beautifully tailored overcoats that we
purchased months ago are brought down to near their
cost price, as we do not want to carry them over to next
season. Best quality materials, and best workmsinship.
A good investment for any man to buy for next season.
