commenting on the rise IN prices
and explaining some OF them. the
Pharmaceutical Association issues this
statement
"ln some OF these instances. as IN
the case OF belladonna. the rise in the
price is due TO the fact that this is
largely cultivated and exported by
Germany and Austria In the case of
the coal tar products the reason Is
found in the use OF many OF the basic
substances in the manufacture OF ex-
plosives; thus carbolic acid is largely
used in making the explosive known
as picric acid. sometimes called lyd-
d.te, and sll available stocks are being
diverted tD that use so far as possible.
Quinine Is so high because so much is
used in tho treatment OF febrile COM
plants OF troops exposed in the
trenches.
Every time a pharmacist reflls an
old prescription at its original price
the chances are that he is losing
money. There is no class OF sub
stances in which the rise in price has
been so little felt by the consumer and
largely equalized by the taking oil
smaller profits as in the case Of drugs
Z This condition. however. cannot con
tinue indefinitely. and drugs and medi
cines arc bound 10 rise much higher

TO RUSH NEW HOUSE
$4,000 Damage to Spruce Street
Dwelling Being Hurried for
Eager Buyer

one of three Colonial houses on the
south side of Spruce street, west of 43d,
recently completed, was damaged by fire
this morning with a loss of $4,000. They
are the property of Jerome Koerber Il
builder. of 1924 Christian street The
houses are valued at $4,000 each
Miss Hattie l.. Kattenstroth, of 4615
Chester avenue, had paid a deposit on the
one nearest 43d street and was urging
Mr. koerber to have it put into condition
so she could take possession as soon as
possible. For this reason the heaters
were kept going, in order to dry out the
plaster and remove dampness to make
the house habitable. Miss Kattenstroth
visited the place daily and hoped that by
today the paperhangers could begin the
final work of preparation
Shortly before o'clock jOist which
had become heated to the point of ig-
milton set fire to other woodwork and
the fire spread through the whole interior
of the two-and-one-h -half-story dwelling.
The walls are of stone and the fire did not
spread to the other buildings.

MANY LICENSES ISSUED

PENNSGRoVE, NJ j., Feb. "a. - BY
organizing and Incorporating the Penns-

forces here have dealt 'socdolager" to
the "wets" making applicable to Penns-
grove n State statute which prohibits
sale OF intoxicating liquor within one mile
OF a duly organized and Incorporated
campmeetnF association.
Having purchased the carnival grounds
on Harmony street. east of Broad, the
campmeeting association has put the en-
tire borough within the one-mile radius
and by holding two campmeetlngs one on
the borough's southern boundary, it could
extend the one-mie radius that distance
i'm Upper Penn's Neck township. Since
the du Pont villages are private property
the "wets" cannot invade them.
Credit for this strategy is given S.
Rushing Leap attorney for the "drys,"
who filed articles Of Incorporation at
Trenton.
II is said the "wets." thinking they
would obtain liquor licenses easily, have
bought buildings and land for hotels and
saloons at fancy prices
French's Hotel was bonanza until
closed. The property was estimated to
be worth $4,000 and 1t was stated the
liquor license was capitalized at $4,000.
The license was rescinded last fall.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-Military drill

today
Under army officers and provided with

upon the declaration of war. Primarily,
this plan is intended to take care of young
men who do not care to enter the Ma

The wyoming plan" of active drill
and camp work for schoolboys will be
particularly encouraged. Unable to find
support for his scheme of universal train
ing for young men, Chairman Chamber
lain has hit upon this compromise as
most feasible to carry out his ideas
1t provides for the systematic drilling
of high school boys, unless they or their
parents object. Summer camp work. as
well as drill, is given. In Wyoming there
has been little if any opposition by par
ents. Where organizations large enough
are raised, regular army officers will SUI
pervise all drill. Otherwise the cadets will
pass frequent inspection
For other volunteer organizations, army
equipment and training will be given.
Some sort of pledge to enlist in the vol

pected.

HE SLEW MRS. HELNER
Former Philadelphia Convict
Had No Accomplice in Killing
of Brooklyn Woman

NEW YORK, Feb 24.--Joseph e. Hanel
confessed today, according to the police,
that he killed Mrs. Julia Heilner, his
wealthy employer, in her home in Brook
lvn year ago. Details of Hanels con-
fession were not given out.
The confession, the police said came
after he reached headquarters today from
Brooklyn, where he had been kept in jail
overnight following his return from Bal
timore. on the way over from Brooklyn,
ITanel told Detective Dowd who brought
him back from Baltimore, that he wanted
to tell his story, imposing but one oondi-
tion, that II be recorded by male steno-
grapher rather than by woman.
Hanel's confession, according to the
police supersedes his previous accounts
of the tragedy, in which he said he robbed
the ITeilner home while an accomplice
committed the murder Investigation
convinced the police the accomplce was
a myth. Hanel was not apprised of Miss
Helen Bucks story that she saw him
leaving the Hellner home five minutes be-
fore the murder was discovered He is
still in ignorance of the police finger-print
evidence also.
Hane told the police he had served
terms for offenses in Philadelphia, Balti-

PROPOSAL FOR ROOF
OVER CURB OPPOSED
Many Members of New York
Outside Market Do Not Like
Idea of a Home

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-It was learned
today that considerable opposition had
developed to the proposed Curb Exchange
that has been suggested by a committee
of the New York Curb Market Associa-
tion. The suggestion for putting the curb
market under cover is said TO have arisen
for the purpose of eradicating evils that
have come up from time to time on the
Curb. owing to the listing of certain secur-
tiles that did not fulfil the promises
made at the time of listing.
A committee, consisting of II. r, Nc
Cormick. chairman of the Curb Market
Association; George |. Schmidt, of the
firm of Schmidt Gallatin, Spenced Koch,
l.. NJ. Tischman and Arthur q. Wynne of
jerks, Wynne & Co., who are also mem
bers of the New York Stock Exchange, has
appointed committee TO meet at 4
o'clock today for the purpose of taking
preliminary steps looking toward the
organization of an exchange.
Mr.. Mccormick, the chairman of the
committee, stated that no information of
the committees proceedings this after.
noon would be made public and that
nothing definite would be made known for
at least six months. He admitted, how.
ever, that the matter was having serious
consideration.
A large number of members of the Curb
Market Association openly admitted their
opposition To the proposed abolition of the
Curb market and the formation of an in.
dependent exchange. II was pointed out
by many of the members that they had
gone TO great deal of trouble and ex-
pense in equipping their offices for the
purpose of doing strictly Curb bust.
