Philadelphia's Stupendous BUI for Luxuries Dy OEOIIOE NOX McOAIN JUDGE .T. WILLIS MARTIN, president of the Welfare Federation, which Is com pletiag preliminary arraugcmenU for the greatest drive, outside wartime drives, ever platmed in the United States, tells me that the outlook for a remarkable 6ucccca crews brighter every day. The roost unusual feature will be the brevity of the attack. Beginning en Novem ber 14, the campaign will last five days. Estimating the actual time available, it meane that $4,000,000 must be raised In eighty hours. This Is at the rate of $50,000 an hour. Welfare workers and choritable organiza tions all ever the country are watching the movement with interest. Its success will give them heart of grace te de Hkewlte. Philadelphia is leading the world in the greatest forward movement of its kind ever undertaken. D EN JAM IN IT. LUDLOW, campaign JD director. the dynamic center of the movement, discovers a new nngle te his work every day. A persistent and pestiferous individual, who, under a uem de plume, is diefcnilnatiug secd6 of doubt, is the latest. His Insidious attacks are directed toward the efficeis, spcakem nnd team captains. He illuminates hie communications with asinine statements and vague innuendo. "Why don't you leek Inte the tremendous overhead expenses? A large part of the money collected is being eaten tip for costly offices, high -salaried officials and useless clerk hire," he writes. THERE are no overhead charges worth mentioning. That is the peculiarity of tbis particular dne In ether dri-e neni 15 te i!0 per rent of the collections bus gene for commissions nnd incidentals. There arc no commissions in the Federa tion's drive. Thern are no salaried officials. The building at 1-tOrt Spruce ttrcet, the cam paign headquarters, lias been donated. Eighty per cent of the clerks nnd office force are volunteers. When the campaign closes its operating expenses will hae been the smallest ever known for nn enterprlse of sucb magnitude. Men and women of cverv vcliieu' belief arc represented en committees.

"At present the grcit tieublc is nn im men'C! lutlew of (.leruian goods, which are manufactured ut a cost which the American manufacturers cannot pessibl meet.

As u matter of fact, in ui.'in" rtH's the materials are of the very cheapest nnd the workmanship is of the poorest qual ity, se it is little wonder that the American manufacturer, who usea the hest. of ma terials and pays geed wages for the highest standard of workmanship in the erld, caunnt successfully compete with (hem le tbe matter of price. "On the ether hand, this keen competition is stimulating te American brains. In our own line wc are meeting it by gettiug out new toys. This same th.112 applies le hues ether than eurs: cer.v line, in tact, m which the manufactured article is net u blnple.
