will conhne ourselves to the fuel that Is
served to US by the cubic foot. The
scientific Improvements in the gas range
In late years have been actuated, as, In
fact, has been every modern improve
ment, by a demand for the most efficient
and labor-saving device that human in
genulty has been able to conceive. The
manufacturers Of gas ranges have made
so many important Improvements that It
will be possible here to enumerate only
a few of them. All the burners can be
lifted out and cleaned the old galvanized
and sheet iron drip and brolling pans
have been replaced by enameled ware
which is both slightly and sanitary.
Burners are so constructed that there is
n perfect mixture of the air and gas; this
permits the turning down Of the burner
to a mere speck Of flame under a pot
when 1t is needed to keep things hot or
at a simmering point. Top CRATES and
side shelves have been slmplifed so that
new they are very easy to clean. An
other Improvement is the finish of the
metal which enables the range to be
easily cleaned. Another remarkable i'm
provement has been In the perfecting
Of the oven construction now giving such
perfect results in baking Then the
splendid types of cabinet ranges give
baking and broilinR ovens in convenient
position enameled door panels and splash
backs that are an ornament in our model

3 GENERATIONS FIND
HOME IN BLOCKLEY
Grandmother, Mother and
Daughter Forced to Seek
Shelter of Almshouse.

Three homeless wanderers, a grand
mother, bent and gray. and her daugh-
ter and granddaughter. found a home to-
day. They we're sent to Blockley.
Death and desertion brought poverty
on the three generations, and hunger
put its mark on them as they drlfted
from shelter to shelter. The grand
mother, Mrs Catherine Becker, 81 years
old, hobbies on cane; her daughter
Mrs. Olga Jolelne, IS years old, walks
wearlly from lack of food. The only
bright eyes in the family are those of
5-year-old Helen Joleine but she. too,
could not have endured privation much
longer.
The little girl cried as her grandmother
led the way from the hot street into
the goth and Berks streets police station
shortly after midnight. In a quavering
voice Mrs. Becker asked the police for
help-a nights lodging for the three Of
them and something to eat in the morn
ing-perhaps they would go away in the
morning and could walt till then for
the food Tramping the streets had been
wearisome, and she leaned against the
rail
Something in the woman's 6ace-or
maybe 1t was the little girls blue plead
ing eyes-was compelling The police
asked for the trio's story. and a pitiable
tale they got
Mrs. Joleine's husband deserted her two
years ago. They were living on 23d street
above Montgomery avenue and were
happy, in a modest way, until them. The
blow was hard one. and the deserted
wife's mind gave way under the strain.
She was sent to the Philadelphia Hos
pital, weeping for her husband. who did
not return. Six weeks ago she was dis
charged as cured. and the little family
was reunited after a fashion. Two weeks
later Mrs. Becker's husband, a Civil War
veteran, died.. and their sole support,
his pension, stopped, she said. Mrs.
Becker didn't know where to apply for IT,
The landlord waited two months for
the rent money, which was scraped UP
a few times and then stopped. They were
evicted a week ago. Tramping the
streets, they managed to keep body and
soul together. A little charity they
found, but no work, for who needs

and child?
Dr. William T. Ellis. police surgeon,

eating with the Philadelphia Hospital it
was found that they could be provided
for, and they were sent there today,

called on King Constantine of Greece.
He has formed an opinion. no doubt,
as to what should be done on the
Gallipoli peninsula and in Greece and
Serbia, but his report probably will
not get to the public for some weeks.
The battle of the diplomats con-
tinues to be interesting. While it
has subsidized to some extent in the
Balkans. it shows unwon.ed activity
in Asia Minor and Persia. We read
that Djemel Pasha has started a
revolution against Turkey among the
Arabs. and if this be true it can be
ascribed to the Vaccinations of en-
tente agents. Undoubtedly the AL
lies would be willing to finance any
formidable revolution freely. In
Persia the Russians have combined
military operations with diplomatic
pressure in an effort to stop the pro-
German propaganda. An army of
Muscovites has advanced to a point
near Teheran and has duly impressed
the Persian authorities. This sug-
gests that the Allies are learning the
lesson of success from their diplo-
matte failures in the Balkans, where
they relied solely upon statecraft,
while Germany won prestige by dis
plays of mighty military power. 1t
is said that the Pei sian government
has promised Russia to stop all activi-
ties of German agents in Persia and
togive the consuls and other agents of
the allied nations proper protection.
On the seas the submarine warfare
has continued actively. The Ger
mans and Austrians have bagged
two English gunboats, an English
auxiliary war VESSEL of small size
and several more Italian craft. In
the North sea the English have lost
some vessels by mines and torpedoes.
chiefly the hospital ship Anglia. In
the Baltic the British submarines do
not seem to be finding as many tar
gets as usual.
