handlebar is raised and by the triple
pivot connection raises the curved
lever member. The claw member can
then be inserted under the box lid and
the latter pried UP a fraction of an
inch. The lid is then hammered down
again and the heads of the nails re-
main just far enough above the sur
face for the claw, or the little litter
attached to the side of the device,

And if the lid were ever lifted off
the sainted city, the stencil Of the
charnel house would rise to the
heavens. A man, if he lives in a Ger
tain part of the town, does not have
to go into the tenderloin district or
rent room in a shady hotel He
can take a girl from the streets right
up into his own room, and do it
openly.
Chicago has been and is brazen in
her iniquity Philadelphia hasn't even
the decency of brazenness. A
stranger to the town, if he doesn't
know hangs around a hotel and
yawns. The man who is on to the
ropes will tell you there is more sport
in Philadelphia than in any city in
the country-if you know where to
go for it.
And that vice commission had to
work secretly. Chicago has aroused
the country with it's exposure of
starvation wages, but if ever Phila-
delphia were forced to come out in
the open with her minimum wage she
could never live the disgrace down.
P The average wage on which men
support themselves and families in
that CityNof Brotherly Love is SIS

the cost of food is greater. Their
meats are brought in from the West
and cost from 2 to cents a pound
more than here.
Girls work in stores for So week.
They work in industrial mills from
7 to Six days a week-for the
same amount on piece-work sys-
tenn. They clerk in Offices for SO a
week, and the terrible thing about
Philadelphia is that it's people haven't
the courage to rebel.
