UWUCII uunuynwig nun ; Harmony Decidedly Inconiplcuoua ' at Harmony Meeting A .harmony racellng of the Camden 'City and County Democrats last night , m Camden was attended by fewer than 100 Democrats and' was punctuated by , j,0 weather, hotter speeches and the absence of harmony. When the mcet- lag via called to order Tiarmony went oat en the Ore-escape to got some fresh air and there It stayed. , The meeting, which was called by Patrick H.

Some ' of the Democrats made themselves much warmer by denying the charges. It 1 wt at this stage that harmony, which bad been beaming upon the multitude, , packed its grip and went out for a walk. Later on in the evening after every . person there was lilted from trying to talk at once, Mr. Harding announced , that at a later date he would appoint a jj committee of five members of the party J to get together with tho Executive Cora . mittee to see if a harmony program could not be worked out. .flfeial 5 1 kUkkkLV'' ; v kkkkkkkkkH lkkklHL9HHIHBlkm!ilk'f - svi rkkkkkkkkB takkkkkkkBnkknkkkm' -i ti kkkkkkkakaH I BBBBBHaBalBBBBBBBBVHAiBnBBlVJaHBBBS t ? 4 BBHbBBBBBBBBBBBBB LkkkkVkkkmalikl7 vvvrss IkHkHBaHflklBEMt' .0kkkkkkki iaHBHfffHHI .aWaWMll-lfg1?MlBSl flHHHnkflkkBwt - Vi' - fvl 4il v1vJklHl -.gMBaWfcTSgMM;laCTWMlM3 aHnHMBaBMDtl flKIVJkffH HHHHHHHPmlBHaH MAYOR PROCLAIMS SWfflJBFJULT Mooro's Statement Calls on People to Obey Law Against y Fireworks TO PROSECUTE VIOLATORS violet L.

Pntterson, of tnc Common Pleas Court, at n luncheon of the Rotary Club In the Bellevuc-Strat-ford yesterday. "We build an h to Frankford and then argue about the terms under which It shall be opcrntcd." he con tinued. "The Important thing Is to operate It nnd not to discuss how it shall be done. Likewise, it is more vital to build the Dolnwnre River bridge than to wrangle over where it should be. The question of wftrre to build it should be left to the commlsMlon. "Philadelphia linn boon hnmpored by those who make city government u foot ball. AVe should vote for the best man for Mayor, nnd whoever Is elected nlinnlrl receive the Minnort of every voter, Irrespective of whether he was ntS own pnriirinaT cuoitr. -inac m nu reason why public siifety nnd other functions of the municipality should be controlled bv political motives nny more than the management of your own btislnetis Is. "Philadelphia should have everything of the best. We do not care so much how much our transportation or our fire department costs us provided it gives us the best possible service. Phil adelphia should hate n grand central depot to afford a great railroad terminus for the city. Philadelphia has the pos sibilities of being the greatest city in the United States." ' TO FIGHT SUNDAY BUSINESS Interchureh Federation Says Euro pean Influence Keeps Stores Open Business1 nnd labor on Sunday are due partly to foreigners who prnctlec customs in other lands, according to n statement by the Interchureh Federa tion. The Federation plans a campaign of education to show the value of one rest day in seven in the hope of preventing contlnuanqp of Sunday business. "The need of the nrrunt Imnr la fnr concerted action against the Increasing practice 01 commercializing the first day of the week," declares the Rev. E. A. Polmquist, executive secretary of the Federation. Those who closo their places of busi ness on the Sabbath have unjust ad vantages taken of them by violators of the law, who, for tho greater part, carry on unnecessary work, the state ment says.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION PLAN HIT BY BUREAU Municipal Resoaroh Says In creased Market Facilities Will Not Cut High Prices ''A commission wns nppolntcd by the Mayor In Jdnc, 1010, to lnves(lgntc the existing, market facilities of the city. On November 12, 1010, $10,000 was appropriated for carrying on tho work of this body. , About six wceM later the members of the commission resigned, feeling that the new Admin istration should have the opportunity of appointing Its own commlsslfin Up to this time, however, the present Ad ministration has not' appointed another commission. ''Nothing- ,cnn be aecomn)Wi4 W putting off this nutation frortityc to cnr. Philadelphia needs better" ifcar kct facilities now. Herv methods' Mra cumbersome nnd expensive., A survey wt competent specialists' will be a iW ' in the tight direction, Phlladelkj W strategically situated as a natdrsl dwJ trlbutlng center 'And only needs'propr development to take her place n ' a great market for perishable foodstuffs. This Is n possibility of the ImmmeiHatetj future and Is dependent entirely . What action Is tnken nt this time.'' t " SHOWS REROUTING EVIL Increased market facilities In the city mean nothing so long as the present uneconomical methods of food distribu tion and transfer persist, according to the Dureau of Municipal Research. As an example of why consumers pay high prices for perishable goods they point out that when produce In cars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In this city is to be transferred to the Pennsylvania Railroad It, must uc shipped back to Wilmington and then re-routed to Philadelphia. "Market facilities In the city arc In adequate and antlquatcdv Three or more markets on the water 'front or in any section of the city or temporary curb markets will not help solve the nrobltm so long aa the city continues to have no adequate facilities for food dis tribution," the bureau bulletin says. Mnit Provide Against Waato "So long as these conditions continue, producers will be disinclined to ship to the city many kinds of food supplies that might otherwise come to us. The very nature of the products requires the quickest possible handling to avoid de terioration and waste. "The problem is a big one nnd is of vital Interest to all citizens. It cannot be solved by doing a little here and n little there. We must work out a com prehensive plan based upon a thorough knowledge of all the facts and then proceed according to that plan.
