Aside from economic points, there are many rea
sons why Shopping on North Third street, be
tween Boas and Reily streets, can offer you
untold opportunities.
In the first place, this busy Shopping
Center is not really Uptown after all. It
is just a continuation of the down-town
shopping district, for there are but few

Boas, unoccupied by business houses.

tion while very real is merely the
effect of present trade balances and
does not reflect in the slightest upon
the intrinsic value of Canada's obli
gations.
Business All one Way.
"The depreciation of the Canadian
premium in New York funds is sim
ply owing to the fact that we do too
much business with you and you do
too little business with us. I won
der if the extent of Canada's pur
chases in the United States are real
ized. Your statistics show that your
total trade with all South American
countries amounted for the year
1919 to $969,276,505, the balance of
trade against you being $167,473,303.
On the other hand, for the same
yew with Canada your total trade
amounted to $1,22,8677,849 and the
balance of trade in your favor
amounted to a sum no less than
$344,763,213.
"We want to do as much business
as possible with you and I think you
want to do as much business as
possible with us. I think we all real
ize that two of the very necessary
essentials in any proper re-estab
lishment are firm currencies and
standard exchanges. I am quite
sure that you would much sooner
see the exchange situation righted
by additional American purchases
in Canada rather than decrease Can
adian purchases in the United
States. Temporarily, and from time
to time, these adverse balances may
be easily ractlfled by the invest
ment of America's large surplus re
serves in Canada, and this solution
is one which is probably as much
in the hands of the presidents of
great American companies as in
anybody's. The field for investment
in Canada is very large. There is
still great room in Canada for de
velopment."
Rugs Worth $50,000
Destroyed by Fire!
New York, Dec. 4.—Rugs and car- |
pets worth $50,000 were destroyed |
and two men were slightly burned by i
fire yesterday in the five-story build

More than 150 employes of the
concern were driven shivering to the
street, while firemen waged a fight
of an hour and a half to put out
the flames.
However, this so-called Uptown Shop

lower rentals is enabled to trade on much
narrower profit margins. What these

HARD TO CRACK
ANCIENT CUSTOMS
Old Hungarian City, Now Con
trolled by Czecho-Slovacs,
Yields Slowly
BraUslava, Slovakia,' Dec. 4.—lt is
only on Czecho-Slovakian maps that
this ancient Hungarian city'of Press
burg can be located by its name.
Ruled by Hungary for a thousand
years, if passed under the control j
of the new Czecho-Slovdkian repub
lic by the decision of the Peace Con
ference and a large part of its in
habitants do not take kindly to the
new order of things. Its people are
dominantly Germanic or Hungarian.
The street signs are in German
and Hungarian characters and now
to them is being added Czech. The
old postal and telephone employes
have been replaced by Czechs and
Czech high officers installed in the
government. Slovak regiments on
duty here have been replaced by
J>urely Czech soldiers. In a city as
old and conservative and routine as
this, drifting through the centuries
undisturbed in its social customs,
these things have made feeling run
rather high in certain social strata.
Must Have Ix-gal Residence
Persons, regardless of sex,
have not acquired legal residence are
being expelled. One man told the
Associated Press he had lived and
done'business here for 40 years and
was expelled a few days ago. The,
list of those cited for expulsion is
said to contain names of dead per
sons.
Some Hungarians do not hesitate
J to express their resentment over the
employment of Czechs in govern
ment positions here formerly occu-
I pied by the Hungarians. Czechs and
I many Slovaks of the educated classes
who hold office under the govern
ment, say this feeling is due to Hun
garian and German propaganda and
hos no real strength or extent. Also
they admit the necessity of Czech
officialdom, as Slovaks has little or
no educated class from which to
draw executives of ability.
It is hard, to upset rudely the tra
ditions of 10 centuries and talks with
many persons, both in official and
| unofficial circles, would indicate that
! the antagonism dis played toward
J the Czechs is a natural condition
of this period of transition and not
deeply rooted. Probably it is stron
ger here in Pressburg than in the
other parts of Slovakia where the
change is not so apparent.
Ban Hun Languages
The school question plays a very
prominent part in the situation here.
The government has abolished the
German and Hungarian languages
in the schools and this means a gen
eral ousting of teachers and a re
action in households.
Many Slovakians and Germans
now speak ostentatiously in Hun
garian as do the peasants of this
immediate vicinity as a sign of their
feelings. A political speaker allud
ing to this development said that the
Czechs had accomplished in six
months what Hungary had tried to
do for 50 i'ears.
Well informed Slovaks, however,
do nto feel that the racial question
will result in any serious develop
ments. They say that Slovakia must
"hold to the republic and with new
elections and an elected, instead of
a nominated. National Assembly such
as the present one, a more liberal
Slovak representation in offices and
the stabilization of the economic sit
uation, conditions will improve. As
a last argument they point out that
Slovakia cannot exist as an inde
pendent states and there is no other
country than the Czecho-Slovak re
public to which she can ally herself.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
TRUNK VICTIM'S
MOTHER SOUGHT
Authorities Adjourn Tabor
Case Until Other Wit
nesses Are Located
By Associated Press.
lAwton, Mich., Dec. 4. —The in
quest into the death of Miss Maude
Tabor, University of Michigan grad
uate and formerly well known
teacher of languages In several cit
ies in this state and the west, was
adjourned" for a week last night to
allow authorities time In which to
locate .other witnesses, including
Mrs. Lester Tabor, the mother, and
Walter Tabor, a brother of the dead
woman.
Thus far the cause of Miss Ta
bor's death has not been established
and when the inquest resumes it is
expected Dr. A. 8. Warthem, dean of
the Pathological department of the
Unlverstty of Michigan, will be pre
pared to report the findings of his
examination of the woman's viscera.
A cursory examination indicates, ho
said, that death was due to septi
cemia and that the body had been
emblamed before being placed in a
trunk in the cellar of the Tabor
home where it was found Sunday.
Counsel for Mrs. Florence Tabor
Critchlow, elder sister of the dead
woman who Is held as a material wit
ness, indicated habeas corpus pro
ceedings would be brought for Mrs.
Critchlow's release. They contended
the law allows the state to hold her
as a material witness only 4 8 hours,
which would expire to-day<
Joseph C. Virgo, of South Bend,
Ind., will also be held as a ma
terial witness. He was recalled to
the stand yesterday and in answer
to questions by Prosecutor Adams
declared he had been informed by
Miss Tabor's mother that the girl
was in a delicate condition and that
he advised against an illegal opera
tion. Virgo was a close friend to
the dead woman until shortly before
her disappearance four years ago, he
admitted.
Amazon Valley Gets
the of
European Countries
Para, Mouth of Amazon River,
Dec. 4.—The Industrial develop
ment of the Amazon Valley is at
tracting the attention of Eurpeun
couiftries, British, German, Italian.
Norwegian, Swedish and Dutch capi
talists, engineers and importers are
making investigations of the min
eral and forest resources of the val
ley or have obtained concessions to
establish industries here. So far
American participation in this de
velopment work is conspicuous by
its absence.
English engineers are up river at
the present lime investigating the
posibilities of vegetable oils; Eng
lish experts are here studying tlic
practicability of extracting starch
anil industrial alcohol from the root
of inandioca; gn English engineer
Jins returned to this, city from Iqui
tos for further equipment with
which to extend the examination he
is making in the mineral area of the
Peruvian Amazon, on behalf of a
British syndicate.
The Italian syndicate which has
been operating a small experimen
tal vegetable oil factory at the town
of Cameta, on the Tocantins Rtver,
about 100 miles from Para, has ap
plied for a concession to open a large
factory in Para for the extraction of
lubricating, illuminating and edible
oils from the nuts of pa.lms and
trees which abound in the forests. A
similar concession has been given to
a group of local capitalists for the
establishment of oil factories in cer
tain municipalities throughout the
state.
Alsation Is Now the
Principal Language
in Strasbourg Streets
Strasburg, Dec. 4.—The language
most commonly heard on the streets
here is not German nor French, but
Alsatian, a patois not more dissimilar
to French than is the patois pf the
Bretagne farmer or Brest longshore
men. Strasburgers are intent, how
ever, to elimnate German as much
as possible.
Tljis evening I heard loud talking
in a corner of a diningroom of the
hotel just behind my table, it was
the head-waiter berating one of his
help. The voice bore a specially
strong German accent, although the
words were French. They were: "I
don't want to hear a single word of
German spoken here; French it must
be from now on."

"Y" Will Extendlts
Work in Philippines
i* Manila, P. 1., Dec. 4.—That the Y.
M. C. A. is preparing to broaden
and extend the work it has been
carrying on continuously In the
Philippines since the arrival of the
Third Philippine Expedition more
than twenty years ago, is shown by
the construction of a new building
at Fort William McKinley, which
will cost $40,000 when completed.
Situated about seven miles from
Manila, Fort William McKinley Is
one of the largest military canton
ments under the Stars and Stripes
and is the headquarters of the
Army "Y" work in the islands.
Through the generosity of Mrs.
Russell Sage a fully equipped gym
nusium was built at the fort about
ten years ago. It is to supplement
the work of this building that the
work of the new "Y" will be direct
ed. Built of concrete, the structure
Is two stories high and will provide
recreational, game and reading
rooms for the soldiers stationed at
the garrison. Funds for the new
building have been furnished by The

sand dollars worth of narcotics and
alleged stolen property was seized
in a raid conducted by 75 federal
officers here.
One of the men arrested is C. E.
Rogers, a city councilman. Ho is
charged with conducting a fence for
stolen property.
Following the raid it was an
nounced that bank Safety boxes of
men known to be prominent crimi
nals, were attached through an or
der of United States District court.
As fast as the .suspects were
brought in they were questioned
and finger prints were taken of
them. They were then locked up.
The raiders came from all over
the country. Sixteen places were
visited, the majority of them being
saloons and cheap hotels. Large
quantities of liquor were seized also.
The investigation which led to the
arrests tat-day started more than a
month ago when it became known
that Toledo was the headquarters of
a band of interstate shipment

What Is It and How It Increases Weight, Strength and:

SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR
AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL
Says Editor of "Physicians' Who's Who."
Take plain bitro-phospliate is the
advice of these physicians to thin,
delicute, nervous people, who lack
vim, energy and nerve force, and
there seems to be ample proof of
the efficacy of this preparation to war
rant the recommendation. Moreover,
if we judge from the countless prep
arations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles by
the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is con
tained in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency as well as the
organic phosphate known among
druggists as bitro-phosphate, which
is inexpensive and is sold by most all
druggists under a guarantee of sat

SELLS TO COMPETITOR

phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation In the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
Clinical tests made in St. Cath
erine's Hospital, N. Y. C., showed that
two patients gained in weight 23 and
27 pounds, respectively, through the
administration of organic phosphate;
both patients claim they have not
felt as strong and well for the past
twelve years.
Increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly
always accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear, dull eyes ought
to brighten and pale cheeks glow with
the bhom of perfect health.
Physicians and hospitals every
where are now recognizing its merits
by its use in ever increasing quan
tities. Frederick Kolle, M. D„ editor
of New ILork Physicians' "Who's

But for such a car as might give you the speed,
power and endurance of the Essex, you would pay
far more. And you would not get the Essex ad

line economy, which result from its light weight.
Big Car Comfort
Tight Car Economy
The size of the Essex makes parking space easy
to find. It allows free handling in crowded traf
fic, both important these days. The quick pick
up easily escapes "pocketing" behind slower cars.
Whether for long tours cross country, or for the
nimbler requirements of city use, the Essex Road
ster has proved itself worthy in endurance, hill
climbing, acceleration, speed and comfort. Its
place is established among the fine cars of tnotor
