Give TO making women forget their age.
She is not secretive about the curl
papers either. She is perfectly willing for
her friends 10 know that she does not
have naturally curly" hair, and she is
also perfectly willing for them to know
that she wants to look as nice as possible.
She went to the Woman's Hospital
few weeks ago in a slightly run down con-
dition She believes an ounce of preven-
tion is better than a pound Of cure and
went in time, so now she is almost we'll
and will be able to go home in few
days.
Miss MacIntyre will go down 10 the
clinic hall of the hospital to attend the
musicale which will be given there to-
night to raise funds for the X-ray depart
ment. Then, too, she will have a small
party OF friends in her room this evening,
before the concert.
Miss MacIntyre's hearing is peculiarly
acute She has to use glasses for reading.

rioyrnent for tens OF thousands OF men,

Five. The maintenance and operation
Of the new hiRh-speed lines will give
profitable employment e thousands Of

NO TAX RATE INCREASE.
-six The transit and port loans will
not Increase the tax rate. The Constitu-
tionaI amendment recently adopted by
your vote provides that all interest and
sinking fund payments on city bonds is
sued for transit and port development
shall be paid out of the transit and port
loan, and not out of tax money until
one year after the hlgh-speed lines are
built and earning revenue. and until one
year after the port developments are cont
pleted and earning revenue. Therefore.
don't let anybody scare you with the tax
bogy.
"Seven. When you and the members
of your family want to go forth from
your established home to the various parks
which your tax money supports in other
sections of the city. and to other places
of amusement and recreation IN other sec
tions of the city. you will be able to do
80 quickly and for five cents on the new
high-speed system. Many OF you today
cannot frequently enjoy those outings be-
cause of the high cost and time required
to travel long distances on surface cars.
All you have to do to secure these bene-
fits, which will add so much TO your COM
fort and convenience and which will en-
able you to save both time and money, Is
to pass the transit loan
IT urge every workingman in Philadel-
phia to go to work today among his friends
and get them TO turn out on election day
and roll UP a huge majority for the transit
loan, which will really be huge majority
for their own welfare"
