Instance.
It is claimed that this board of

never before. It w force hundreds
nt wealthy tax dodgers to tell the lion-est-to-gooducsR
truth ami consequently
lighten the load carried by thousands
of overtaxed small farms.
Tlio du PontN ami there nrc mieh n
lot of then that It Is dinieuU for any
one but .three nntlves of New Castle
county to untangle the skein of their
kinship seem to be the fn ry godfathers
of Delaware. I know that there nrc
those who may dispute this, but that
Is purely n matter of politics.
Take the Washington street brldce
In Wilmington. At the legislative ses
sion of Win an appropriation of .$300,
000 was made for Its construction. Sub.
cost about $1100,000 to build It. Alfred
mi i uni in uiiu oi me uridgc com
missloucrs. He immediately offered to
advance the additional $IOO,OOflRo that
there might bo no delay in putting the
project through and wait until micli
time nH the Legislature should relni
btirsc him. This ninttcr Is to be con
sidered at the present session because
of Its Immediate importance to the
pretty little dynnmlte city.
Tlio school code, whoso repeal is
clamorously demanded, biings another
du I'ont Into the spotlight.
As I indicated In my dispatches of
Inst weeks Dclnwarc stands about thirty-third
Ih point of educational advnn-
a couiprcheusivc survey of the school
nvMiuii wan innur hi. jirivuie expense.
Pierre du Pont, they say, cashed the
expense cheeks.
Adopted After Fight
The New York expert who prepared
the efficiency report did, perhaps, In
ject a few too many metropolitan Ideas
into lii.s code, but anyhow tho Legisla
ture adopted it after a mighty haul
light.
lCducatlon is n very fine thing in the
eyes of some of the Delnwnre folks, if.
like salvation, it Is free'. Or, nt least, if
it can be obtained nt bargain prices,
like A. Mitchell Palincr'H chuck steaks.
As the result of the adoption of the
code there was an augmented school tnx
that started u longitudinal shindy from
Selbyvillc to Wilmington; only WIN
miiiKton did not accept the? code, pre
ferring to go ahead ou Its independent
system of school management.
Then Pierre du Pont announced that
lie would contribute ?2,p00,000 toward
the amount necessary to give the slate
an A-J school nystcm if tho people
would contribute) nnothcr $2,000,000.
In addition, ho offered to contribute
$500,000 to bo devoted exclusively to
the erection of negro schools. It was
a wonderful proposition.
llut tho generous offer did not np
peaso the popular wrath, which was
still further heightened by placing the
revised school system In hnnds other
than those of the old local school
boards.
Itcpcnl Likely to Fall
Now 'they nrc going to try to repeal
the school code, but I nm very strongly
of the opinion thnt tho reactionaries
will fall down on the Job. Petitions In
favor of the repeal ynrds In length nnd
containing thousands of names nro to.
bo presented to tho Legislature. Sussex
county is regarded an leading the fight
In favor of tho repeal, but Kent county
Is not a whit behind In Us voclferntlous.
These fncts, Jiowcvcr, do not alter my
belief that the codu will continue on
the statute books.
Meantime suffrage ratification must

Dr. Philip E. Dsgood, rector o tho
Episcopal Church oMbo Mediator, Fifty-first
nntf Spruco streets, was intro
duced by 'the KcV. W. E. P. Hans,
rector of tho ronferenco church, nnd
greeted the conference on behalf of the
Community Ministers' Associntlon, nn
organization composed of West Phila
delphia ministers.
There-was n stir when Bishop Ilerry,
nt this morning's session, rose to a
point of pcrsonnl privilege nnd scored
n sneaker nt yesterday's love feast who
said "he was from Nev Jersey, nnd
ndded that lie was ashamed both of
(lovcrnor Edwards and of the action
of tho New' Jersey Conference In up
holding worldly amusements.
Took Other Stands, He Holds
"I presided at the Now Jersey con
ference, and distinctly remember lt
action on amusements. This brother
spoke in ignorance. The conference
took the contrary position, standing
steadfastly by tho book of dNcipllnc."
Several members of the local confer
ence made an effort to debate the mat
ter, but Bishop Berry" refused to per
mit this.
"I will permit no discussion of tills
question," he said, brlnplng his gnvel
down sharply. "I nm simply giving
this information for the benefit of the
conference."
The Itev. Dr. Van Clove, who spoke
in favor of doubling ministers' salaries
as paid in 1014 if they were to bo
brought up to thb prevailing living cost
level, talked at length on the matter
of- finances. He said that at present
only a certified nccnitntnnt could un
derstand nil the ramificntions of llnnn
clnl reports in tho church. lie advo
cated the establishment of n central
board of financial control under which
could be developed a simple and com
prehensive system which would elimi
nate duplications of effort nnd money,
and keep the books of tho church in such
simple fnshiou any one could under
stand, Tho Rev. Dr. 1'omlinson, during the
discussion of the general proposition to
raise salaries, told of a college profes
sor he knew who had earned $2200 n
year teaching nnd gave It up to enter
the ministry nt $1000. The Rev. Ben
jamin' Ln Pi4di related his own experi
ence In this regard. Ho said ho hod
worked in n foundry before ho became
a minister, and lately received an offer
to go hack to his old Job nt $75 n week.
Bishop Berry announced Hint the
Rev. Harry T. ciders had withdrawn
from the conference. Doctor Uicklcy
supplemented this announcement that
Mr. elders wished to enter the folds
of nnothcr faith.
The retirement of the Rev. Abncr F.
Dottcrcr, 1-15 West School lane, nlso
wns announced.
The Rev. T. T. Mntchler, secretary
of the Philadelphia Sabbath Associa
tion, was given permission lo address
the conference and urged the ministers
to keep Pennsylvania the "banner state
in Sunday observance." Ho clnlmcd
that motion-picture interests hnd rnls
ed u fund of $,"00,000 to get Sunday
"movies," nnd hnd promised various
concessions to church people if per
mission were granted.
Dr. Miller Makes Appeal
Dr. Harnh T. Miller, secretary of the
Allied TeacherH' Association, was per
mitted to address the conference and
urged the ministers to support the
teachers in their efforts to get higher
pay.
She gave, out a questionnaire, asking
the ministers to Till it In and send it to
tlio Board of Education. On it they
expressed themselves ns for, or ngninst,
higher salaries for teachers, a ten-mill
tnx, nnd a lnrgcr allotment from the
state Legislature.
She said thnt nt present there hns
been so great n falling off in pupils at
the normnl schools that In a short time
there will bo no new teachers to keep
the ranks full. "Why spend SIO.OOOV
000 on new school buildings," asked
Dr. Miller, "when there nrc no touch
ers for them?"
By maintaining the celerity nnd hnr
mony thnt have marked the confer
ence deliberations since its opening
Tuesday night, the belief wns express
ed among the early arrivals today that
the necessity for a meeting tomorrow
might be obviated.
ChurrJics Suggested
Some of the newer, commodious West
Philadelphia, churches have been sug
gested informally for the 1020 con
ference. Some of the pastors would
deslgnato Arch street or a compara
tively central diUrcli ns the ideal con
ference sent.
Reappointment of the five Incumbent
district superintendents is forecast.
Earlier rumors thnt the Rev. Dr.
! Charles W. Straw has been marked for
removnl have been dissipated, retty
polities, unjust in its reference to Doc
lor Straw, is said to have inspired tlio
report. The work of the North district,
which is Doctor Straw's charge, showed
it to be one of the most nctive in tho
conference, botli in membership gnlu
and in increased benevolences.
A movement is on foot, although
likely to nwnit action at n Inter confer
ence, to pay the trnvcllng and enter
tainment expenses of dclegntes out of
conference funds. This plan has been
adopted by other conferences with sat
isfactory results, it is said, and the
condition of Philadelphia Conference
financially is believed lo warrant its
employment here.
Bishop Berry's announcement of pul
pit assignments fir the coming church
year will bo made at the close of the
business sessions. This list may be
made public late today.
Whiln this matter is one customarily
i kept a secret until the moment of its
reading, report was current today that
the number of transfers among tho 350
pastors would not exceed ninety, n fairly
small quota.
Many churches in the conference have
, Afiimatnrf return fit ifiMr nnntorn. ftev
eral announcing fmfnry increases, and
it is expected the presiding bisiiop anu
bis cabinet will yield to these applica
tions. , , ,
Few important charges appear likely
to be effected, save through death or
pastoral request. The Hev. W. It.
Shaw, for two years at Asbury Church,
Thirty-third and Chestnut Btreel!.ikv'
regarded nn In lino for transfer,;,
Ebcnezcr, Manayttnk, but no other' latA
portant city charges nro mentioned Ph
fliA rnmAfhl ntmnirfttf.
The conference tract society a4
board of Sunday schools hold anniver
saries tonight. Dr. H. V. Sloan will
address the former. An address by Dr.
Edgar Blake, of Chicago, is the prin
cipal feature of the latter program. The
choir of tho Erie Avenue Church will
furnish tho singing at the Sunday school
celebration.

Advice to Shoe Buyers
PRESENT prices on shoes are unpopular with the
public, although Philadelphia shoe prices are con
siderably below the market and lower than in
other cities.
Reputable retailers exercise no control over these
prices and are deeply interested in securing shoes -to sell
at prices their patrons would like to pay. But frankly
there is no hope of this under present conditions ; yet if
the public will co-operate with shoe retailers, shoe bills
can be materially reduced ; your own bills may be cut in
half this year.
Our advice to shoe buyers is FIRST: Buy shoes
with the thought in mind of the service for which you
require them. This means heavier soles in most cases.
Turn soles, wafer-like shoes, wood heels, etc., are all right
for their purpose dress wear but their place is notion
the street, and when so worn are expensive and extrava
gant; not only wasting good upper leather, but keep ex
pert shoemakers busy without the proper return in serv
ice for their labor.
SECOND: Bring your shoes to us for repairs
promptly, that is, before the sole and heel are so worn
down as to impair the foundation of the shoe. Through
the recent enlargement of our repair department of the
Market, St. store we have inaugurated the most modern
system of repairing in the country. Shoes come through
like new.
We will be glad to further instruct our customers
about the care and' conservation of their shoes, but by
following even this simple advice you can not only save
money now, but greatly help the market situation by
assisting to create a surplus of leather and the natural
result of a surplus is lower prices.
Those who need shoes and will buy them because of
necessity, not demanding particular styles or colors, can
get them today at very moderate prices.

How Bond Bread
was created
Hundreds of skillful housewives
baked loaves of home-made
bread in their own kitchens and
submitted them in the Bond
Bread Baking Contest.
Then a committee of representa
tive women selected the best of
these home -baked loaves.
Expert bakers then copied die
crisp brown crust, the firm even
texture, the delicious home-made
taste of those home-made loaves.
The new loaf wus called Bond
Bread because the purity of
every ingredient is guaranteed by
the Bond of the Kolb Bakery
Company.
f
is chubby cheeks tell you
he's a Bond Bread baby
His cheeks are like round, rosy
apples his muscles firm his
bones straight and strong.
Hours of healthy play plenty
of sleep and lots of Bond Bread
these are his three secrets of
health.
Bond Bread is good food for
children because it is patterned
after the best home-made bread.
The purity of every ingredient ia
guaranteed by the Bond of the
Kolb Bakery Company.
Bond Bread is sn
named because each
loaf bears this bond
of the Kolb
Bakery Company.
