A reporter made the trip TO Lester.
The reporter Is a fairly husky chap. too.
Ee's glad now that he IS. II he is sent
again he will go attired in full football
regalia. This is what happened:
He took car on Route 81. at Thirteenth
and Market street. at 3.25 p. NJ. and
arrived at Lester at 4.40 7. NJ.
Leaving the car at Leste:. he then
attempted to get ZONE by the same
route. It took him exactly two hours
and twenty minutes to get back to Thir-
teenth and Market streets.
The type Of car used by the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit Company on
Route 81 will carry, seated and stand
ing. about ninety-fve humans uncom-
fortably. but when several hundred be-
lated workmen attempt to board the
same car at the same time. which is In
all probability already filled to its nor
NAL or abnormal capacity, the insult
ficiency of tie service is apparent. This
is exactly what happens ut Lester each
afternoon when the employees of the
Westinghouse Electric Company, which
is manufacturing genred turbines for
the Government st lrt home from work.
Below Lester on the same Route 81,
which Is the Chester Short Line, are
situated both the Eddystone and Bald
win plants, which employ thousands Of
men. Above Lester on the same line IL
! the great Hog Island shipbuilding plant.
| A large proportion of the employees of
| these several plants, all engaged in full
| filling Government war contracts, de-
pend upon Route 81 to get 10 and from
work. The rapid transit company has
not sufficient cars nor men to cope with
/ this unusual condition. The high wages
paid by just such plants as are mem
| toned Is in n great measure responsible
! for the shortage Of men to man and
| repair the cars. What are known as
! 'trippers" are put on the line during
| the rush hours, these cars running from
Forty-ninth street and Woodland ave-
nue. to the Baldwin plant and return.
but according TO information obtained.
| by the reporter. there are not more
| than twenty extra men available for
this service. and the company Is losing
on the average ten regular men a day
| from the barn at Forty-ninth street.
1t is difficult to replace these men.
The reporter. trying to get to Phil
adelphia from Lester, had to eventually
fight his way aboard a car, but'this was
not accomplished until several futile at
tempts had been made. covering more
than an hour Of strenuous discomfort
At the main Office OF the transit com
pany Mr.. Fairchild. acting in the alb
sence Of President Mitten. refused tc
make any st itement further than tC
say that everything was being done
that could be done. He also refused tc
be quoted in any way regarding the sit
uation.

1t will be seen from the above argu-
ment that most people who have al
ready purchased the 31a 90 bonds will
undoubtedly want to change them for
the 40 bonds. therefore, it would be
folly to put the government to the
expense of delivering these handsome

only to have them exchanged and de-
stroyed within thirty days when the
4% are delivered. People who are
complaining because the 3R 20 bond
has not yet been delivered to them
should be easily satisfied if intelligent
bankers will take the time to make
this explanation.

many Planned and Plotted

The time Is coming when those
who do not sign the food pledge dur
ing the federal food pledge campaign
Will be considered traitors to Old
Glory and they will be shot" That
was one of the many strong state
nents made last night by Bruce Ken
nedy In his talk to the meeting at the
Central high school auditorium, The
audience was small but the speaker
appealed to those present to go out
over the city and instruct their friends
In the seriousness of the governments $
undertaking. In part MIR. Kennedy
said:
THE United States has at this time
over two hundred thousand soldiers
and three hundred thousand sailors
trained and is training $4,000 men
for the national army. But to feed
these men and train them is not the
problem. What is most important to
the government is the indifference of
the people of the country to the enor-
nous waste and the awful results if
the waste continues. Starvation is
facing this country. The waste last
year amounted TO $700.U0o,0 900. while
the world is starving and our presi-
dent has pledged the word OF this
country that the world can have food
from our granaries, tho our people
suffer.
Planned for Years.
For AZ years Germany has laid
plans to seize the world. They have
entered the Hague peace conference
and professed themselves to be within
tho kingdom of Jesus Christ. Yet all
the time they were laying their plans
for our subjugitio1. They taught
thoir children for generations that the
German God hated all the rest of
the world and raised an army of
twelve million men, well equipped, to
carry out its conquest.
Their first step was to capture
Paris, then the subiugation of all
Europe, followed by the placing of the
yolk of Prussianism upon us, the Bel
gians, under Prince Albert, the battles
today would he raging III the Missis-
sippi valley instead of France.
Wives to Win War.
1t Is not the liberty bonds which
will win the war, nor the soldiers. 1t
is the housewives of America. who
can and must, by econojnizinS. feed
the world or perish with it,"
TO complete the plans for enrolling
the names of all loyal Americans, a
meeting was held at the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon, which
was in charge of n. NJ. *. Smith,
national campaign director for Okla
homa. At this meeting were. besides
Mr.. Smith, Lilah d. Lindsey, chair
man for the county; Miss Minnette
Hedges, in charge of the work in the
country districts: Miss Clara Kimble,
in charge of city work Earl Sneed,
manager for the county campaign for
men.
These met with representatives of
other adjoining counties and outlined
the plan for the great drive and reg
istration. These people are giving
their time to show the people of Tulsa
the immense Importance of the gov
ernment registration to be held from
October 28 to November 4.

WcuucSuay. ONtoDcr IL, IBlJ
This is not fortunate day, acco fling
to the reading of the stars. The sun.
Jupiter. Uranus and Mars are ali in
evil place.
There is a sign making the war ap-
pear more than ever serious for the
United States and discouraging con-
ditiOns are presaged, but these will be
lessons leading to great efficiency,
the seers declare.
Jupiter is in a place that seems to
indicate the growth OF sense OF in
justice in the public mind and warn
ing Is given against this mental at
titude.
The planets forecast scenes of vio-
lence in more than one city and loss of
life that will lead to clarifying Of
public opinion and a solidifying of
sentiment inspiring to heroic deeds.
For several years astrologers have
prophesied that the Jews of America
would achieve fame and win tigh
place in some new avenue of activity
and it is now predicted that they will
make great record in the war, two
of them attaining to world fame.
Treachery in places near to the
principal man in the central govern
ment at Washington is foreshadowed
by the stars.
Uranus gives warning that occult
power may be used by the enemy,
which is said to employ the forces
of darkness" or black magic success
fully.
Danger of some sort Of an outbreak
in the United States in which women
will suffer is aagin pointed out by
astrologers
Astrologers foretell for the new ma
tional army success in a way not
usually contemplated in regarding its
future. This seems to be along lines
that promise permanent organization.
The tragic death OF distinguished
man is probable before the end OF the
month.
Progressive women will lose one Of
their leaders early in the winter. &
Is prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a year of much anxiety. They
should conserve both health and prop
erty.
Children born on this day are likely
to be philosophical and altruistic.
These subjects of Libra are often gem
erous to a fault. Many of them are
successful writer's.
