The gloomy attitude of Phllly rooters using the Fifteenth street line ndded to the genernl air of foreboding hanging over "darkest Philadelphia." During the half hour, thirty cars went south on Fifteenth street, seventy tight went east on Market street nnd fifty-nine went west on the snme thor oughfare. Conditions were further com plicated by the passage of hundreds of other vehicles nnd thousands of pedes -trinns. The P. Tt. T.

M - . .1 I I . llll 1 I AIRCRAFT for Business Use THE adaptability of airciraft to practical business purposes has become an established fact. Business men are coming to look on tlbis swifter, cleaner method of travel as essential in the operation of a successful, up-to-date organisation. The reason for this acceptance is the proven DEPENDABILITY of the more recent types. The NAVY, through the stress and strain of War, has learned valuable lessons which, incor porated in the construction of seaplanes and flying boats, have produced marvels of DEPENDABILITY. They are offering several hundred of these latest model seaplanes, many of them still in the original packing cases, at phenomenally low paces. These seaplanes and flying boats, having passed rigid NAVY inspection, are probably the most dependable type of aircraft in the world. They are not toys nor experimental jobs, but are similar to the -types used by the NAVY todaj They have low fuel cost per passenger mile, long flying range, and are able to withstand the waves and weather. These 'planes are ALL NEW -NEVER HAVE BEEN FLOWN SespJanes already purchased Vfrom theNavy have proved good investments as passenger and! express-carriers. They have ren dered valuable aid to lumbermen in cruising tracts of timber lend and fire patrol. They have been used by fisherman in locat ing schools of fish, are daily demonstrating their value as mail and express carriers and in countless other ways. This is not HS-2-L FLYING BOAT: PusUer biplane: Liberty engine of 330 H. P., wing spread 74 feet; maximum speed 85 milts , per hour. Satv price $6,160. H-'l6 FLYING BOAT: Tractor'biplane; two Liberty engines of 330 H. P. each; wing spread 95 feet; maximum speed, 95 miles per hour. Sale price $11,053. F-5-L FLYING BOAT; Tractorjbiplane ; two Liberty engines of 330 H. P. each; v.ing spread 104 feet; maximum speed37 miles per hoor Sale price $12,400. A demonstration ot the usefulness of the type of 'planes offered for sale occured at Miami, .Florida, recently. An H-16 flying boat, purchased from the NAVY, after slight modification (costing about $1,000), carried fourteen passengers in addi tion to the pilot and the mechanician from Himini, in the Bahama Islands, to Miami, Florida. The distance was forty miles. This plane and others have been flying commercially theory but fact. 'Planes are being used in each of these lineo of business endeavor with marked success; some of the most successful business' planes were purchased from the NAVY. They are selling them only because of their being nn over stock caused by the reduction of the Navel forces with the ending of the War. Read the following list : MODEL. 40 FLYING BOAT: Pusher biplane Curti3S 100 H. P. engina; wing spread 43 feet; maximum speed 70 miles per hour; sale, ,-rice $4,000.

Tbut seaplane has been en dorsed by navy fliers aa ono of tho eafest and most easily operated type of aircraft. A manufacture.- has placad on the market a set of wheels nd tail skids which, substituted for the pon toons, converts thia plane into a land machine.

What has been accomplished by the H-16 can aloocbe accomplished by the F-5-L flying boats and others of similar construction. As these 'planes can be used for 'cross-country flights a3 -well as 'cross-water flights, wherever there are canals, river or lakei they have come into favor in the middle Western state aa strongly as they have on either the Atlantic or Pacific Coait.

C Philadelphia's Part The Philadelphia Executive Committee of the Inter church World Movement is pleased to report that Phil adelphia has accepted with fine spirit her part in this National movement. Large numbers of volunteer work ers are enrolled for the various denominational forward movement campaigns to begin with a nation-wide con cert of prayer for five minutes at 2 o'clocfc Sunday afternoon, April 25th. In addition to the members and constituents of the several churches engaged in the simultaneous canvass, a strong supporting organization has been formed with teams in each of fifteen districts throughout the City under the leadership of Joseph M. Steele for the territory north of Lehigh Avenue, Harry E. Paisley for the terri tory south of Lehigh Avenue, and John Gribbel for West Philadelphia. The teams organized under this leadership will aid the church teams in each community whenever called upon to do so. From reports received the indications are most encouraging. It is anticipated that in nearly all the churches the canvass will be completed by Sunday night or Monday, allowing Tuesday for supplemental work and final organization of the community canvass teams. ft.' The plan is for the community canvass to begin in the J. 5 districts on Wednesday morning, with report meetings as may be arranged and announced in each district. The church constituency will be canvassed by the use of white cards. Following this the friendly com munity not included in the church constituency will be canvassed by the use of blue cards. Each worker will call on only those persons whose cards have been assigned to him. This will prevent overlapping or duplication. The contributions resulting from the community canvass will be distributed pro rata to the co-operating denomina tions, and thus reach the great fields of service in which they are needed. Such gifts may be designated by the donors to certain institutions and causes in which the denominations co-operate. The hearty good-will of the public in this united movement is invited. Thirty denominations with a mem bershsip of over 15,000,000 Americansare behind it. $336, 777,572.00 are to be be raised. It is hoped that $40,000,000 of this will be given through the community canvass.
