TEACHING THE CITY
JUST WHAT'S MADE
IN PHILADELPHIA"
Merchants and Manufactur-
ers Open Campaign to Give
Industries a Great Push
Forward.
Made in Phlladelphiar

Made in Philadelphia
These three words, packed with mean
ing, were the three best arguments of
the merchants and manufacturers of the
city yesterday-the first day of the week
that is to be given over to the business
OF convincing the public that Philadel-
rhia Is one of the real workshops Of the
world.
And, judging from the display put
forth. they are q challenge calculated to
make the business men of every other
place in the world sit up and take notice.
Much that Is fine Is made In Philadel-
phia, but in the opinion of Philadelpha's
enterprising men of BUSINESS. just know
ing that fact doesn't help the city much.
"It pays to advertise" they say, and
therefore this is to be advertising week
for all the city's products.
All hands have Joined in the movement
to spread the fame of the industrial out
put, and the consequence Is that it will
be an unobservant pedestrian indeed who
can walk half block in any OF the busl-
ness districts this week without having
the merits of some Philadelphia-made ar
ticle brought to his attention.
From City Hall down to the smallest
retail shop, the city's colors have been
flung out in honor of Made In Phila-
delphia Week" The department stores
have their windows dressed with mer-
chandise from local factories, and the up
to-the-minute smartness of the displays
make the hallowed marks Made in
Paris" or Made in London" lose their
cherished significance.
Fifth avenue. the Rue de la Paix and
Bond street have nothing on Walnut,
Chestnut and Market streets.
According to those who are back of the
campaign. people do not know how
versatile their home city is. industrially
speaking. They do not know that every
thing from a locomotive to dol-baby is
made here. How then can they expect
the world TO know It?
Made in Philadelphia Week. is destined
to bring this fact to their notice but II
is not the intention of merchants and
manufacturers TO let them forget 1t after
the week is over Boosting Philadelphia
industries, say they. is not TO be tenn
porary affair; nor is it designed to stimu-
late home patronage alone.

delphIans, but for the whole world" is

NOTED PHYSICIANS
URGE THE ELECTION
OF DR.. BRUMBAUGH
Drs. Martin, Posey, Hirst,
Deaver and Ashton Sup
port Nominee for His Work
in Behalf of Public | Health.

Five Philadelphia medical men of ma
,onal reputation have enlisted in the
campaign for the election Of DR.. Martin
q. Brumbaugh to the qovernorship. They
have sent letters to many hundreds of
ubysicians and surgeons throughout the
city urging them to support the eminent
educator.
The men who have signed the com
municatlon are DR.. Edward Martin, pro-
lessor Of genlto-urinary surgery at the
University of Pennsylvania and a mem
her of the Board of Education; DIR. Will
liam Campbell Posey. famous eye special
ist: DR.. Barton Cooke Hirst, who occu-
pies the chair Of obstetrics in the Uni
verslty OF Pennsylvania DR.. John d.
Deaver, noted surgeon; DR.. W. Il. Ash
ton, specialist in genlto-urinary diseases
and a member of the faculty OF Medlco-
Chrurgical College.
Doctor Martin, one of the superlntend-
ent's most earnest supporters in the
school board, declared that he and his
colleagues took this action in accordance
with what they considered profess
sjonal duty. With no thought Of politi-
cal activity they were unanimous in tho
belief that Doctor Brumbaugh would en-.
Enthusiastically support legislation making
for the betterment of public health. His
successful efforts to promote medical in
srecton in the public schools and pro-
cure more sanitary conditions in the
classrooms entitled him, he said, to the
eupport of the medical world.
"As Superintendent of Schools" he con-
tinued, "he co-operated in every possible
way with the medical profession. Instead
Of lending passive acquiescence he gave
active and stimulating help. He worked
virtuously to obtain legislation that would
be of physical benefit to American child
hood He was certainly most potent
factor in introducing medical inspection
into the classroom and he has always
shown spirit of pure patriotism in dis
charging his official duties.
ITO his credit, it must be said he al
ways remained aloof from political
affairs of any kind He entered freely,
however, into all movements for the ben
eft of the school children and the Phila-
delphia public at large"
Doctor Martin refused to make any di-
rect reply to the often-refuted charge OF
Vance c. Mccormick that Doctor Brum-
baugh had not taken part in organized
attempts at public betterment. II Will
state the facts concerning Doctor Brum-
baugh," he said, but will not discuss
the situation from political standpoint

TITANIC SURVIVOR A BRIDE
Mrs. Eloise Hughes Smith and r. w.
Daniel Married.

Philadelphia society was surprised to-
DAY to learn that Robert w. Daniel and
Mrs. Eloise Hughes Smith. daughter of
Congressman and Mrs. James A. Hughes,
OF West Virginia, had been married in
New York, August 1s. Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel are staying at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. E. Waring Wilson, at Rosemont
until their own dwelling in the same
suburb is ready for occupancy.
Announcement of the marriage was de-
layed because Mr.. Daniel had to leave
for Europe on August 20 and did not wish
TO take his bride into the war zone. Their
aequaintanceship began on the rescue
ship Carpathia after the sinking of the
Titanic in 1912. Mrs. Smith was return

RICcARD0 MARTIN, TENOR,
HEARD AT THE ACADEMY
Americans Splendid Singing With
New York Symphony.


New York symphony.
There were honors aplenty at the con-
cert last night given by Walter Dam
rosch's New York Symphony Orchestra,
at the Academy of Music, but except for
very few moments the honors all went
to Riccardo Martin for the splendid
Interpretation OF his arias. The orches-
trail part of the evenings entertainment
was wretchedly done for the most part,
conductor and men alike transgressing In
spirit and execution.
1t is a great pity that Mr.. Damrosch
chose to play the Erolca symphony here
for his first time. Eventually his orches-
ira may rise to Beethoven; at present
their attempts we're almost insulting both
TO the master whom they played and to
the audience which heard them. That
the first movement was inchoate, failed
utterly of unity of impression, Is per-
haps pardonable, but that Mr.. Damrosch
should have muddled the funeral march,
and, after robbing It Of its splendid
solemnity, should have gone on to make
the scherzo weak and uninspiring, is little
short OF criminal The scherso OF the
Erolca is mad piece of impudence,
placed after the sober but fearless death
motive Mr.. Damrosch conducted both
as II they were pieces of music, nothing
more
In the last movement, ana In plckihs
the bits of inspired ragtime here and there
In the preceding movements, Mr.. Dam
rosch was better, but that is very little
to say. The lack of inspiration, OF juds-
ment and of technical excellence must
be overcome and II the new endowment
of Mr. Damrosch's orchestra will accom-
plish this, II will make his future visits
to this city different matter from the
present one. 1t should be said, to De
fair, that the Goldmark overture ane
Ernesco's "RoumHnna Rhapsody which
opened and closed the program respective
ly, we're much better done, with not
little fire and good cheer, and that in
them Mr. Damrosch's prodigious efforts
in conducting did not seem so ludicrously
Intellectual
Mr.. Martin, in the midst of this mud
die, was a bright stream OF JOY. HIS
voice was cordially rounded his tones
pure and rich, and his dramatic express
sion so excellent that 1t reminded one or
Titta Ruffo To say that his singing was
Intelligent" would not be adequate. Mr..
Martins sympathetic imagination, as
shown last night, was perfect, and the
contrast he could make between Puccini
and Bizet was full of artistic righteous
ness For him, at least, Philadelphia can
be thankful to Mr.. Damrosch.
