Movement for Two-Platoon Sys
tem Gathers Force Among
Flame Fighters
for a two-platoon system was expresed
today by Councilman Joseph Forsyth, a
member of Camden Council's Arc com
mittee. This committee, supervises tho
'fire department.
"I would like to see the men get the
two-platoon Bystem," Mr. Forsyth de
clared. "Hut Council li under a han
dicap for the reason that this question
was put to a vote of the peoplo three
years ago. The public turned down the
proposition nearly ft to 1.
"The reason for the public's attitude
was that increased taxes would result
from the two-platoon Hjstcm. Mori
men would have to be employed to man

Sympathy with the desire of the men

system.
"About seventy more men would be
required for that system," he fctatetl.
"It would cost taxpayers from $80,000
to $1)0,000 a year additional.
"The men are well treated here, how
ever. New men get $1200 a year with
a bonus of $300 and an additional $50
a jear for uniforms. After four years
service the firemen are paid $1000 a
year with a $300 bonus.
"The men have every fifth day off
and nre given a two weeks' vacation
with pay. There is tho pension pro

TO MEN who are considering
the purchase of outing trousers
I and thoir name is legion at
this time of year I would com
mend the offerings of MocDonald &
Campbell, 1334-36 Chestnut Street.
They have good-looking white flan
nels and white serges and the striped
flannels which so many men like and
which look so well with their sepa
rate Norfolk coats. Then, there are
1 serviceable gray flannels and tan
khakis. In the lighter-weight ma
terials there are white gabardines,
white cotton ducks, white linen
crashes and white khakis. The
white corduroys are well liked, too

THE wedding ring is a dainty
thing nowadays, and the bride
whose wedding ring comes
from the store of Bailey, Banks &
iiiddle Company is indeed fortunate.
for their rings are truly marvelous
examples of the jewelers art. I
am thinking particularly of a lovely
platinum band set all around with
diamonds. Its designer must have
had in mind the sentiment that "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever,"
for it is destined to give its wearer
as much pleasure in years to come
as upon the day it is first placed
upon her finger. It is a worthy
complement to her engagement ring,
which, in all probability, contains a
Polished Girdlo Diamond that most
beautiful of stones, which, you know,
is exclusive with the house of Bailey,
Banks & Biddle.
TRAVELING suits of Alpine
Wool in heather mixtures and
in plain colors are practical
and serviceable. I saw some in most
attractive styles at the Blum Store,
1310 Chestnut Street. One model
showed an interesting cross-tucked
treatment on the pocket. Another
good-looking model in tan had a
tuxedo collar of blue angora striped
with tan. Suits of Shantung, which
sheds the dust easily and does not
wrinkle, are also good for traveling
and sports wear. One model at the
Blum Store had a tuxedo collar, nar
row belt and box-plaited pockets.
It was the kind of suit that looks
well on both stout and slender fig
ures. Another Shantung suit an
cton-jackct model had an accordion-plaited
skirt and its jacket
was trimmed with rows of buttons.

WHETHER you are n new

house, or n housewife of
many years' experience, you will
find Old English Wax just about
the most practical thing you can i
use on your floors. It gives a prac
tical, durable finish, and is per
fectly sanitary, because it doesn't
harbor germs. You will find the
Old English Waxer and Polisher a
ery useful article. It is a square
pad with a long handle, and with it
you can cover twice the area that
you could cover by hand. During the
summer months, when polished floors
aid much in attaining that desirable
effect of coolness, a can of Old Eng
lish Wax and a polisher are really
indispensable. You will find both
at the store of J. Franklin Miller,

OU have no idea what wonders
ou can accomplish in the way

simply laying a new rug on the
floor. It really helps more than
anything else to give that homey.
comfortable, hospitable look. And
for your summer homo, whether it
be a large house along the Main
Line or a. cottage at tho shore, a
comfortable, well-furnished veranda
is an absolute necessity, for the
chances are that you will spend
more time there than in anv other
1 room in the house. Fritx & La Rue,
1615 Chestnut Street, have some of
the most interesting summer rugs
I have seen. The block rush and
fiber rugs aro particularly good
, looking, I think, and both wear ex
i ceptionally well. The hand-woven
, Belgian rush rugs arc well liked, too.

Y9 for the distinctive store in every line seems to bo located on Chestnut
Street. When you think of leather goods the name of Bains comes
immediately to mind, for it is synonymous with all that is newest and
best in the leather line. This Btore is as well known to people in other
states of the Union as to Pennsylvanians, for Bains trunks and bags have
traveled the world over. Go first to tho store of Geo. B. Bains & Son, Inc.,
1028 Chestnut Street, if you want anything in tho leather line, and
even if you shop around you will eventually return there. Just now they
have some gooa-looking articles of shark skin. A clgaretto case of this
