nirulUd under the provlslono of the
nana House bill which j up before
the Senate tonight for flnat passage.
The choice of the Mayor, If one of

of a veteran, would be limited to the
T'as Senate and House have shown a
Killlntnesa to put through any legisla
tion which the world war veterans
firor, It is considered probable the bill
will be passed. ...
So far there has not been the slight
rtt objection to the bill, the House
fcivlnt passed it unanimously when it
cine Wore that body. Under the civil
errlce regulations in the Philadelphia
ckirter Mayor Moore is limited in ap
pointments from the civil service list to
"one of the two persona standing high

ing amendment!
'Provided, however, that such rules
drill provide for preference to be given
to all honorably discharged soldiers,
ration and marines who served in the
army or navy of the United Rfates dur

).. mitred civil service examinations,
sotwlthitandlng the fact that the names
of SUCD Soldiers HBiiurn ana murines uu

fill vacancies." ....
Mayor Moore complains that he Is
handicapped by the present provisions
of the charter which limits the choice
of candidates to the first two whose
names appear on the eligible list. It
i pointed out that political foes of the
Mayor might use the provisions of the
amendment to load up city offices.

today were clearing away the tons of
dcbrl. scattered by nn explosion Sat
urday night In the elevator of the Ar
mour Oraln Co., under which the bodies
of four victims were believed to lie con
cealed, The two known drnd were
Mown out of the structure by the blast,
which it was believed was due to spon
taneous combuslnn which ignited in
flammable mill dust.
The grnln loss was placed ut about
$1,000,000. The $3,000,000 worth of
jraln remaining In the concrete bins, It

ADDS "ETTE" TO KITCHEN
Harrlsburg, March 21. Representa
tive Burns, of Philadelphia, of Presi
dent Judge Brown's home ward, the
fifteenth, has had his so-called slum
hill amended so that the most vicious
features of It have been stricken out.
When the bill first was orured in the
House It occasioned nn unfavorable
comparison between Judge llrown's
dream of a spacious palace of Justice
and Mr. Hums' plan of allowing houses
to be built with rooms containing less
than the floor area Is each room which
Is held to be essential to health and I
morality. j
Kvcn as amended, however, kitchens
could be made so small as to bo de-,
cldedly "kittenish."
When the criticism wns made Mr.
Hums' friends said the Fifteenth ward
legislator had no Intention of appearing
as a patron of the slums. He there-'
fore was advised that his bill needed'
amending to make It conform to his
real desires.
As the housing and sanitation la'w'
now stands, It reads that rooms In
dwellings, rooming houses nnd tene
ments, when subdivided or enclosed,
shall have separate windows for each
enclosure or subdivision nnd, further,'
shall have u floor urea of not less thau
seventy souare feet.
Originally the Hums bill struck out
the minimum floor nreu of seventy
square feet for each room, which wpuld
make It possible for rooms to be scarcely
anything more thnn cuuyholes. As
amended In the House committee on
public sanitation, the minimum re
qiilrcment of seventy square feet Is left
Intact with this proviso!
"Provided, That rooms used solely
for kitchens, kitchenettes, bathrooms,
laundries, lavatories, shall bo exempt"
from the seventy square-foot require
ments. Of course, this would make It difficult
to distinguish between kitchens nnd
kitchenettes. A kitchen only roomy
enough to fry one egg at a time, for
exumnle. would be ncrfectlv Wnl.
The bill is on second rending cnl
lendar in the House tonight.

WILFRED O. FLOING COMPANY and
CHARLES DANIEL FREY COMPANY
Join to Serve Agencies and Advertisers
Two advertising art organizations Frey
and Flotng each a leader, will consoli
date their executive forces and working
staffs in the interest of better service to
agencies and advertisers.
The net result of the amalgamation
is to place at the command of agencies
and advertisers a broader, more compre
hensive and complete art service at a
greater value per dollar.
There is now one working staff where
formerly were two ; one executive staff
where formerly were two; union and
concentration of effort where formerly
was rivalry.
In one organization are now joined the
pecial abilities and special talents which
two organizations heretofore incorporated.
It is plain that one such larger organi
zation can work on a more efficient, more
economical basis than two separate
organizations.
Agencies and advertisers benefit di
rectly, in the fact that creative ability
and layout talent have a wider sweep,
by reason of the greater variety the com
bination of production staffs will afford.
There will be, in the one organization,
the same zeal in the interest of the small
and the large agency and advertiser
which ha3 always characterized the efforts
of the separate organizations.
Our service will be advantageous in the
matter of time and location, as well as in
the quality of its production.
With the addition of Mr. Floing as an
officer and director of the company and
his complete staff, there will be no change
in the personnel of the Charles Daniel
Frey Company.
