The Unger home la Belmont artnue.
llarmeuth, la shown en the records of
Lewer Merlen Township, at Nerrlx
town, as the property of the mother.
It is assessed at $3000. The assess
ments In the township usually ere for
one-third actual value, which would
make it worth approximately 110,000.
The assessor at Norrlstewn lists
Unger as a "clerk," owning no prop
erty. The heuie. Is an attractive pne, stand
ing nlene en a plot of ground roughly
100 by 200 feet. It is en the top of
a hill, with only two ether houses near
It, a beautiful situation with a fine
sweep of country about It. It has a
terrace and a garage in the rear. In
the garage a closed car la kept.
The house has been well kept up, and
the grounds are prettily laid out with
an abundance of shrubbery, at present
wrapped In burlap te protect the bushes
from frost. There is an Inclesed win
ter perch, with swings.
Little Is known about the famiW In
the neighborhood. All who came, in
contact with the "boy speculator" say
he seemed a pleasant fellow eneughi but
that' he kept te hlmHelf and they did net
knew much about him. In the year the
family has lived at Barmouth no one
seems te have get te knew them well.
Formerly they lived in a twin house
at ltala, en the old Lancaster pike.
This it a two and a half story house
which the Ungera rented from the occu
pant of the ether half of the house.
Neighbors nt Bala repeated what
neighbors' at Barmouth said Unger
kept te himself and no one knew much
about him. He seemed te be the chief
support of the family, ther said. The
Ungers went te Bala during the war.
They are of German descent, nnd this
contributed te keen the residents near
by aemewhat aloof from them.
Se far as Unjrer wal known in both
neighborhoods, be was liked, nnd his
acquaintances speak well of him.
Was News at University
Uncer's disappearance with the fund
of the institute was the main topic of
conversation today at the Dental Hcnoei
at the University.
There was plenty or gossip nmeng tne
students, but no facts. .Apparently the
secret had been well kept. The student
body knew nothing about the defalca
tien until they read the newspaper ac
nnnnta InrUr. t'nua.hlv some of the OfO
feasers hail been told in advance, but If
se they had been warned te keep quiet.
Dr. Charles R. Turner1, director the
Evans Institute, refused te discuss the
matter. He said he had been requested
te make no statement nnd that any
comment must come from Mr. Weaver.
"I never saw Unger In my life and
wouldn't knew him if I bumped Inte
him," 'said Dr. Turner.
Henry Rnlney, recorder of the Insti
tute, likewise had been counseled net te
talk. He explained that Unger did net
visit the institution mere than a couple
of times a year. The payroll waa made
up in the recorder's office, signed by Mr,
Ralney and sent te the bank, where It
was countersigned by Unger. who then
made out checks and sent them te the
empleyes,

Dier -t Ce. te 1'nser's defalcations
It is said Unger carried his big mar
gin account at Dler & Ce. In the nnme
of Miss Anna Unger, his lister, who Is
ibreken-hearted ever her brother's dis
grace and flight. The girl knew noth
ing of the vast financial operations her
brother was carrying en In her name.
Because Unger's employment at the
bank made it impossible te go te Dier
"4 Ce., during the hours when the
brokerage house wns open, he trans.
acted most of his business ever the
.telephone.. Hew he managed te de this
without ureuslng the suspicion of his
fellow clerks is a feature of the story
which remains te be explnined. At nil
events. It Is snld that he caused his
holdings te be put In bis sister s name, I
and directed that all communications
concerning them be sent te her at the
'bank In his care.
Scheel in Bad Straits I
Though Uuger cleaned out the safe
deposit box of the Evans fund, se far as
. -negotiable securities went, he dhj m,t
Jsteal three mortgages, reposing there. !
They would net have been s readily
(negotiable as the securities, anil ceulil
net hove been put up te cover his mnr- I
'glm at the brokerage house.
The defalcation of L'nger. however.
puts the fund, and the Evans Institute
'which it maintains, in n delicate pos.
tlen. The Institute, which is lenshl--red
the greatest dental school In the
world, Is under henvy expense. It could
het de its work without the I.vnns en
dowment. The Income from the securl
'ties went far toward paying the main
tenance expenses of the school It i"
feared that it may he necessary te dis
pose of some of the mortgages te meet
,presslng needs
Responsibility remains te be placed
for the less of the money . There is no
way the fund can recover from I'nger
unless tliu securities themselves are ob
tained. He was net bended te the
fund, though bended in hi position nl
the bank. The bank cannot be held re
sponsible, however, according te the
pinion of many, because the bank
merely rented the wife deposit box te
the fund. The bank did net handle the
securities us the fimd's representative.
It merely happened that Mr. Reeves
-was both an officer of the bunk and the
fund.

"I knew nothing of his finnclel ar

nlwuvs assumed that he had nothing.
"He came into tills office occsloan eccsloan occslean
ally, acting as n messenger between Mr. I
Mr. Reeves and Mr. Jenes, because, ns
I understand it, all checks en the funds
had te bear the names of the treasurer
and one ether official, se he would bring i
checks from Mr. Reeves for Mr. Jenes'
i te sign, and If he could net find Mr.
i Jenes he would hunt up Judge Bceber or
some ether trustee."
Mr. Reves retired ns head of the
Olrard National Bank n number of
years age. L'ntll recently he went te
i lie bank several times n week. On
account of Ids feeble condition he his
i net left his home for mere than n

We are going te invite twelve
hundred Philadelphia women
te serve en a"Beard of Advisers"
for the Ivins Bakery this year!
Every Ivins cookie, cake or cracker
will be tested and judged by this
new "Advisory Beard"
TJT'E are Philadelphia's eldest bakery. Fer 76 years we
y v have been baking cakes and crackers for Philadelphia
families. We believe we have baked only these geed
things that women wanted te serve in their homes.
New, in 1922, we are going te prove that beyond question.
This is our plan:
Twice a month, we are going te select
50 Philadelphia women. Te each, we will
send an assortment of Ivins cookie -cakes
and prackers. We will ask each "adviser"
te eat these Ivins geed things te compare
them with any similar products and then
te give us her frank opinion.
These "advisers" will judge Ivins' from
every viewpoint appearance, wholesome
ness, flavor and purity. Every piece that
is approved, will thereafter be packed and
sold in packages or tins that bear the seal
shown below the proof that this particu
lar Ivins cake or cracker has been thor
oughly tested by representative Philadel
phia women, and approved.
The biggest thing
we've ever attempted!
In our 76 years of baking, we have origi
nated a host of popular cookie -cakes and
crackers Lunch-en-Thins, Sweet Maries,
Heney Grahams, Chocolate Ben Bens and
many ethers, each a masterpiece of the
baking art. We will continue te bake new
creations from time te time, and each new
piece will be submitted te the "Advisory
Beard" te be approved by them.
