The superintendent lost no tlmo in

Courteous, yet firm and decisive, no

short, pithy and to tho point. He
walked rapidly from place to place, and
his associates were compelled to hustle

His Inquiring disposition was sig
nificantly shown by lils talk with Su
perintendent of Supplies Savage. Much
dissatisfaction has been shown through

OFFICERS
Battlo Ragos on Bonnie Brook
as Vossol Comes Up.
Delawaro
While a battlo raged between officers
of the steamship Bonnie Brook nnd
fifteen members of tho crow, signals
displaced by the vessel wcro ignored,
and from Marcus Hook to this city the
fight was continued before the mutineers
wcro subdued and put In irons.
Captain J. V. Smith, tho first and
second mates and tho deck engineer
won tho fight, but wcro badly battered
in the attempt. Tho troublo started
when Constantino Gcorgenscn, deck en-
Slnecr, wanted tho crews of firemen to
0 somo extra work. They resented
the order and, nccording to Captain
Smith, after loading up on liquor, at
tacked the officers.
International flag signals, signifi
cant of mutiny, fire, piracy and other
troubles, wcro displayed, but evidently
tho crews of other vessels failed to
recognize their Import, for, instead of
going to the aid of tho Bonnie Brook,
the crews of several vessels nctilally
cheered as tho other vessel steamed
slowly up tho river.
In the fiRht marlin spikes, a cleaver,
clubs, bottles nnd tho butt end of a
revolver were effectively used. 'When
the vessel docked at Pier H4 Captain
Smith, who was asked to tell what had
happened ( said :-
''I can do that," he said smiling
broadly. "It was merely n case of
Scotch getting several Irish in Dutch in
tho U. S. A. But for a few more
details first, iBn't there some ono on

Some years ago an advertising man stopped
one of his clients from advertising, "second hand
cars" and instead offered to the public a selection
of "used cars."
The phrase was new, simple and obviously
better. In this instance, every one in the trade
grabbed the expression and robbed its progenitor
of his little distinction.
The beat toothbrush on the market has a
name that is the hardest for the public to spell
or to pronounce.
And yet the late Senator Tillman used to
quote, "you might as well kill a dog as give him a
bad name."
If you are contemplating advertising now or
in the future, experience counsels that you secure
the advice of a competent advertising agent
before you name your package; even before you
put your goods in a package or before you com
mit yourself to any method of presentation that
you may ultimately regret.

Hear these famous Victor artists!
Extraordinary interest attaches' to these recitals because of
the double opportunity they afford the music-loving public.
It is a privilege in itself to hear these recitals, and added
importance is given to the events in that they enable you to
compare the exquisite interpretations of the orchestra and the
soloists with their Victor Records.
Attend these concerts and note the qualities that distinguish
their renditions. Then go to any Victor dealer's and hear the
Victor Records by the same artists. Note how faithfully their
interpretations are portrayed on the Victrola.
It is because of this absolute fidelity that they make Victor
Records; that the greatest artists of all the world are Victor
artists.
Victrolas in great variety of styles from $25 to $1500. New
Victor Records demonstrated at all dealers on the 1st of each
month.
