r. j. Berlet president of the association,
said he did not care to discuss the matter
other than to present the announcement tt
self An effort was made to get A. w.
Rogers, director of the exposition, to ascer-
tain why there had been failure, through
misunderstanding or otherwise" to pro-
vide certain arrangements" for the occa-
sion. but Mr.. Rogers had gone to Boston to
attend his mothers funeral, and his assist
ants professed to know nothing about the
matter.
The association was to have discussed
plans for the widening Of Walnut street
and for the removal of car tracks, project
ing steps and unsightly signs.
These plans have not yet been called to
Councils attention, the association prefer
ring to S~ait until the loan bills were APP

TEMPLE FUND RACE

$4,000 Must Be Raised Before
Night to Win Contingent Sub
scription of $4,000

The prospect of raising $4,000 before to-
night in order to win a contingent $4,000
additional for the Temple University en-
dowment fund confronted 200 members o.
the campaign teams when they set out to-
day on the last few hours Of work. II the
amount subscribed by tonight reaches $685.

"a friend of Temple" will give the $4,000
needed to bring the total UP to 100000.
There is much mystery in the Identity of
the friend of Temple" DIR. Wilmer
Krusen. director of the Department of
Public Health and Charities and trustee
OF Temple University, announced the offer
OF the contingent $4,000 from a telegram
he read at the luncheon in the Hotel
Adelphia yesterday. The telegram was
from "out of town" Doctor Krusen would
not name the town. It was reported the
anonymous donor had not even revealed
his name to the campaign leaders.
The result OF the last days campaigning
will not be known untiLtonight at the clos
ing banquet in the Hotel Adephia. Team
workers will spend the whole day calling
on last-minute prospects and those who
have been known as willing to contribute
after tho success of the campaign was as
sured. 1t Is known that many of the teams
are holding back revelations of big sums
they have won subscriptions for during the
week. The teams which run to the highest
total for the campaign will be the perma-
nent winners of the silk banners which
heretofore have been passed to new table
each day as the reward for the best day's
work.

two years after Watt took out his first patents
for the steam engine, and while the spinning

motives of Stevenson; the first steamboats, of
Fulton the first steamships to crossthe Atlantic;
the building of the Great Eastern; the laying Of
the first Atlantic cable; Whitney's invention of

A Long Sweep of Time

The beginnings of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica go back to world which would
seem to us very strange-a time when there
were few stage coaches even in England and
very few in America: when the first modest
steam engines of Watt q re beginning to make
England the great. cos.-producing country, of
the earth, and her industrial empire was being
founded upon the discovery of way to smelt
iron with this same coal.
George III was King and the greater Pitt =
Lord Chatham-was Prime Minister George
Washington, jefferson, John Adams were
then little known leaders of the English Colo
nies which sparsely settled the eastern shore of
America. The only American of European
fame was Benjamin Franklin.
Link-boys with torches still lighted the
gentry through the murky streets OF London.
A candle was the most brilliant light that any
king in Europe could boast Most people in the
Colonies wore homespun clothes. Terrible epi-
denies were frequent; sanitation was almost
unknown and highway robberies abounded in
all the countries OF Europe.
A voyage to America required from six to
ten. weeks, or more; shipwrecks were many
and great number died en- route from scurvy
and other diseases.
