chester PLANT TO
TURN OUT SHRAPNEL
New Company Already Has
Order For 100000
Shrapnel For Allies
OLD PATTERSON
MILL PURCHASED

The Patterson Mill, Chester, one Of
the most valuable manufacturing sites
in that place, has been sold by R. o.
Scheel, of Philadelphia. to the Chester
Engineering and Ordnance Company,
a new munition concern, which is said
to hold contracts for 100000 shrapnel
shells for the Allies. The company,
furthermore, is expected to receive or
ders for a similar number of shells,
the entire contract to be delivered by
1917. About 1000 men will be en-
ployed.
The company was incorporated
under the laws of Delaware. on Au-
gust 4. Its capital stock is $500, 900.
The incorporators appearing on the
papers are Frank R. Hansell and
George. H. B. Martin of Philadelphia,
and S. c. Seymour Of Camden. These
three are corporation lawyers. Mr..
Evans, in a statement announcing the
formation of the company and the ac-
QUESTION of the Chester mill said while
the company is capitalized at 100000,
'its resources are such that practi-
cally an unlimited capital can be
made available for its purpose"
The purchase price of the Patterson
mill. which covers about six acres, hav-
ing frontage of 600 feet on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, also was concealed
An estimate of the value may be gained
from an appraisement made by Peucker,
q Wunder, engineers and architects, OF
No. 80 Chestnut street. Experts of this
firm set its value at 1922, 600. The land
itself is valued at 100000. In addition
to a power house, a main building, witt
two-story connections and a single one
story building, there is room for erection
of other mills. There are about 100000
square feet of floor space in the larger
building.
Mr.. Evans declared that contracts
would be awarded within the next few
days for the development of the prop
erty into a modern ordnance factory
"When this company's plant is fully
equipped" he said, "it will be one of thu
largest manufacturing plants in th'
world devoted 10 this special work" Il
was intimated that options had beer
obtained on surrounding land

MAKING PLAYHOUSE
READY FOR OPENING

From now until The Playhouse
opens on Saturday. August 2s, for the
usual season, will be a busy time at
that theatre. A force of men under
the direction Of Manager Louis Allie
mann is busy getting everything into
shape for the opening. There is con-
siderable more work attached to this
than is generally supposed anc espe-
cially is this true in a house which is
directed by William A. Brady.
Good scenic effects depend upon
lights and a hundred and one other
things and at present all the lighting
in the theatre is being gone over and
the stage placed in perfect order for
the first show. OF course there is
little to be done to the house itself,
for the reason that it is new. but it
must be cleaned and made ready
while in the box Office there is an
Immense quantity of work getting
tickets in order for the several shows
which are coming and the manager is
kept busy attending 10 details.
Mr. Allemann announces that his
theatre force will be practically the
same as last season. The changes
which VIII be made, II any are made
will be in unimportant positions and
caused by men being employed else
where who were with him last sea-
son. His heads of departments will
\ be the same There is general satis-
faction over this and also over the
fact that Mr. Brady has seen fit TO
retain Mr.. Allemann here where he
is popular with the people instead
of transferring him to some other
| theatre.

into business, is sending along with
them not only all their original designs
but in fact their entire staff, including
designers models. cutters, pressers sales
men; lawyer and even their friends and
family. Their tour so far has been a
triumphant one, for Abe and Morris are
known everywhere by reputation as fine

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Egyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present in Use.

The contrast between the very an
cient and the very modern methods of
treating skin diseases is we'll iIlustrat-
ed in the medical writings of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method of treating these Affections is
by serums. A favorite prescription of
the Egyptian doctors was the follow
ing: Take the toes of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts
Boil these carefully in a pan of oil.
This is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptions and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings we find the
first authentic record of the use of
goose grease in therapeutics, and ap-
parently this remedy has never lost
its popularity. AS used by the Egyp-
tians, however, goose grease was only
one of several ingredients useful in
treating certain skin diseases, particu-
larly badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used in equal parts,
mus, crocodile, snake and ibex. This
remedy was to be used for a period of
not more than four days. But it ap-
pears that skin diseases continued
prevalent in ancient Egypt, just as
they prevail there at the present time

SURELY HAS EARNED REST
French Soldier, Crippled and War
Scared, Is to Become a Citizen
of the United States.

through the influence of the French
consul wounded French soldier,
Leon Graux of BAT East Fifty-seventh
street, was released from Ellis island
and restored to his wife, who had re-
celVed news six weeks ago that he
had been killed in battle.
After the French liner Rocham-
Deau arrived from Bordeaux at her
pier foot of West Fifteenth street,
MRS. Graux received word from her
brother Pierre that he believed Leon
was on the ship. She hurried to the
pier and was informed that her hus-
band had gone to Ellis island with the
steerage passengers. She sought the
french consul, who obtained permis-
sion from the immigration commits
sloner for Graux to land in New York.
Leon Graux was crippled and war

were severely torn by shells. In fol-
lowing engagements Graux had a bull
let in his right shoulder, his left leg,
and finally had his right thumb shot
away After each engagement he was
patched up and sent to the front
again and was decorated by the
French government for bravery on the
battlefield.

war started and went home to fight.
Now he is going to become citizen

Air for the Human House.

Your body is human house, the
place in which you live. Food alone
cannot make this house a healthy
place. The lungs, the ventilators of
the house. must be filled and refilleo
many times each minute with pure
fresh air.
The air breathed deep into the tiny
cells of the lungs. meets and purifies
the blood which has been sent there by
the heart, the great pump in your hu.
man house. This pump is kept busy
every moment. 1t must gather the
wasteladen blood from every part of
the body and send it to the lungs, then
it must take the purified blood back to
the farthest point of the human house.
Sometimes invisible enemies, the
microbes, creep into the human house
and try TO steal our health away. Moth
ing can do more in the way of driving
these little enemies out than our ven.
tilators, the lungs, when they are al
lowed an abundance of fresh air.

LITTLE DANGER FROM BOOKS
Infectious Diseases Not Likely to
Be Transmitted, Is Opinion Off
ciaIly Expressed.

The fact that infectious diseases
may sometimes be conveyed by books
has led to exhaustive Investigations to
determine just how much danger there
may be from this source, particularly
in public libraries and waiting-rooms.
The particular disease investigated
as the one most likely to be transmit
ted, was tuberculosis, and the conclu-
sions reached are gratifying and reas.
suring, as follows:
There is probably no material risk
involved in handling books recently
read by consumptives unless the books
are obviously soiled. Even then the
risks are slight. But in order to pro
vide against possible infection it is
suggested that suspected books should
be placed in quarantine" for a month
that is. placed in a room where
there is free circulation of air, such as
one with window open. At the end
of 80 days all germs of tuberculosis,
and probably all other germs likely to
be found in the books, will have been
killed,

When this suit was commenced"

had champagne and terrapin dinners
every Saturday night, and, after din
ner, through the moonlight midnight,
and until the hush of the Sabbath
morn, they played draw poker, with
blue chips, and the ceiling for a
limit. They had a United States SEN
ator and an ex-United States district
judge for the company lawyers, and
the stockholders walked along, snuff
ing the stars.
Now, gentlemen of the jury, how
are the mighty fallen, tempora mu-

may be literally translated: Former

white chips with bets limited to ten
