URGES BIG BUYING

George H. Mckay, of Read

vice to Housewives
SKEPTICAL ON BARGAINS"

Housewives OF Philadelphia who wish to
reduce their meat bills are following ad-
vice by George H. Mckay, superintendent
Of the Reading Terminal Market and Cold
Storage an acknowledged expert on food
economies:
Buy your meat in large lots" said Mr.
Mckay
Buy good meat only, worthy OF being
kept in cold storage. Look ahead and plan
your household needs as shrewdly as the
stock broker studies the stock market. Then
buy in a proved and reliable market. Visit
1t daily yourself-and keep in touch with
what's what in place of phoning your order
in haphazard or, worse still, leaving II to
a servant Meat so bought at the lowest
legitimate figures may be kept indefinitely
In cold storage for a nominal consideration
When shown the table OF alleged reduced
prices" on meats offered by chain Of West
Philadelphia and suburban stores, rendered
possible they claim by a system OF cash
payments and deliveries, Mr.. Mckay
did not appear deeply impressed.
What about the grade OF meat?" he in
quired quite calmly. The table of contrasted
prices was as follows:

Apprehension that Henry II. Cummings
a Philadelphian, was lost on the United
States army transport Antilles, which was
torpedoed by a German submarine last
week is felt by his family.
The name III r. Cummings appears on
the list OF the victims Of the disaster made
public by the Navy Department today. He
is listed as "a civilian" and the address Of
his relatives was not known to the Navy
Department.

These are frankly bargain prices with
no assurance Of quality given" said Mr.
Mckay. Can the Philadelphia housewife
afford to buy meat that way?
when she engages a cook she would
not dream of taking one without char
acter certificates. When she feeds her fam
ily bargain meat just because 1t Is cheap,
she is taking heavy risks with the health
Of her household.
Buy apples, too, in large lots" Mr. Nc
Kay continued, why shouldn't all the
women of a neighborhood plan out their
food needs three months ahead and buy
large, on the installment plan, keeping the
goods In storage and ordering sent to them
Iust as needed" Mr.. Mckay warmed to
his theme. Economy? Well, l should
rather think So 1t would work out some
thing like this
Suppose 100 women in a neighborhood
decide that they will form a pool on apples
and ask us to reserve 100 barrels for their
use within the next three months. They
can easily save one-half the price by so
doing Wen take the order at the present
market price Of Sc and divide each barrel
into three bushel boxes, subject to their
order BY January / II is probable that
each bushel box will be worth $3.50. All
right. If the housewife decides by that
time that she'd rather have her profit than
the apples, let her take 1t. just as a stock
broker would. The storage we have charged
her meantime is negligible-about fifteen
cents a month for each barrel We're al
ways ready to suggest economies to the
woman who is really in earnest to find
| them"

The first secret practice of the season
was held on Franklin Field this afternoon.
Coach Bob Folwell Is opposed TO the secret

that he wishes to impart 10 his men that he
is not going to take any chances of enemy
eyes gazing upon his pet plays
Pitt will be the attraction on Franklin
Field next Saturday, and as Penn has taken
two straight lacings from the Smoky City
contingent the Red and Blue tutor is espe-
cially anxious to lower their colors and has
the plays which he believes will turn the
trick
Hobey Light was not in the drill this
afternoon, because he was in the University
Hospital nursing a muscle bruise sustained
in the Bucknell game last Saturday. Hobey
expects to remain in the hospital until to-
morrow and get in shape for Wednesdays g
practice.
Cy Pauxtis, coach of the Penn ends in
1914 and at present instructor in football

Alice Paul Faces
Six Months in Jail
Continued from PAGE One

Continued from PAGE One
Women's Party, made the following state
ment
Alice Paul has conceived and directed
the most daring and conspicuous political
campaign ever conducted in this country in
behalf of woman suffrage, and she has
remained almost entirely in the background
throughout all that has been done In four
years she has raised and spent $500 900 and
has built up an organization of more than
$4,000 with branches in every State in the
Union. She has changed the Federal amend
ment from an academic force OF hope to a
vital issue in party politics. She has
brought II from the lecture to the party
platform. She has defed criticism, rdl-
cule, scOrn, unfath, Misunderstanding and
mlsrepresentation.. Every policy she has
advocated, every political forecast she has
dared has been vindicated. Now she is
going TO jail rather than forswear her right
10 petition her Government for political
liberty.
Alice Paul is a Quakeress, and while
born In New Jersey she has for years been
so thoroughly identified with Philadelphia
as to be generally recognized as a PhIla.
delphlan, She was graduated from Swarth.
more in 1905, took her masters degree from
the University of Pennsylvania shortly
afterward. and went abroad TO write her
NoSNoA NuooAb ~ Nne university OF Lon
| don. While In London she decided that
she must give up her beloved work in
sociology and economics and devote herself
| to the cause of woman's political liberty.
She returned TO this country with a new
vision OF suffrage now of forsAhing the
| futile State by State work and concentrate
ing on the Federal amendment. 1t Is doubt.
| less due TO this vision OF Alice Paul and
| her ability to translate vision into action
| that the passage of the Federal amend
| ment by Congress at the regular session
which begins in November is 80 confidently
predicted by politicians in a position to
| know.
1T was through the activity of Miss Paul
that the first street meeting in favor OF
suffrage was ever held In Philadelphia. Al
| the time this was considered a most daring
! departure and aroused comment on all
sides This was In 1911, shortly after Miss
Paul's return from England, and those who
were with Miss Paul on the occasion Of this
historic hrst street meeting were Mrs M
| c. Morgan. Mrs. Margaret G, ISiinglesmith

mand for Knockout" Of
Prussian Militarism
COUNTS ON POWER OF U. S.

LONDON, oct. 20.
Premier Lloyd George coupled the dec
laration of the most optimistic Of all his
speeches this afternoon with the hrmest
reiteration Of Great Britain's conservation
to battle TO a knockout"
There can be no peace In the world until
the shrine of the war spirit at Potsdam ~
shattered and its priesthood dispersed,' ne

Thine is now on our side. Time once
was neutral-but not since the advent OF
America and the failure Of the German sub
marines.
Americas man power is the best fighting
material in the world.
I'VE are now on the eve OF the most inn
portant interalled conference ever held.
America and OF the New Russian democ-
rRcy will attend. Their decisions may de-
termins the Ultimate issue Of the war.
Americas participation In this confer
ence is OF inestimabe advantage"
For the first time the Premier revealed
some Of the statistics showing Britain's q
speed-up campaign to beat the submarine
our monthly tonnage loss now" Lloyd.
George asserted. "is a little more than n
third Of the April figures
THE submarines lost in ten months by
the enemy total more than twice the num-
ber destroyed during the whole Of last year,
I'VE have increased our shipbutlding
fourfold. America has done the same"
The audience wildly cheeNed the Premier
when he declared emphRtically:
This country is determined to prosecute
the war to victory"
The Albert Hall meeting was a mass
gathering inaugurating a nationwide cam
pagn of economy. Lloyd George took
occasion at the outset OF his speech to
thank 10000 members and workers on war
savings committees for their economy CAM
paign. which he said had saved from b
to per cent of the food supplies"

NOT ENOUGH MEN
TO ENFORCE LAWS
Commissioner Woods Says
State Insurance Depart
ment Lacks Equipment
OTHER STATES BETTER OFF

pronounced Increase in the number OF
fnvestieators employed by the Pennsylvania
State insurance. Department will be one OF
the salient changes advocated by Edward
A. Woods of Pittsburgh, enc Of the three
Insurance experts appointed by Governor
Hrumbaugh last week as commissioners "a
Investigate and codify the insurance laws
Of the state. The cCrnmisaion was ap-
pointed, Il In said. as an outgrowth OF the
scandals involving the Pension Mutual Life
Insurance Company and the Union Casualty
Company, which were unearthed by the
EVENING LEDdER year ago.
In statement made to the EVENING
LEDGER today, Mr.. Woods, who II n director
IN the National Union Life Insurance Com
pany and regarded as an international au-
thority on insurance matters, said
"Pennsyvania's insurance laws are not
90 much at fault as the equipment of the
Pennsylvania Insurance Department, which
lacks adequate force to execute the laws.
New York employs nearly ten times the
stan and force employed by Pennsylvania.
Laws will not execute themselves; and the
prevention of financial insurance trouble Is
more important than attempting salvage Of
n company when 1t is too late Princeton
and cure are better than post-mortems.
"It Is only fair to the insurance policy
holders OF our State, of all kinds, numbering
many millions that some reasonable frac-
tion Of the large taxes collected from them
by the State should be wisely and effectively
expended for their protection by the en-
forcement OF our laws and that through
supervision be given and careful exRmina-
tions regularly made. Such eX limitations
are now impossible, our force, however able,
being entirely inadequate.
Pennsylvania should not be compelled TO
look to New York Massachusetts and Con-
necticut for effective supervision, even OF
cur own companies For years our annual
Insurance report has been issued not only
months after most other reports have heen
issued but long after the year has expired.
Consequently. II has been about az valuable

criticism Of the Insurance Department, but
merely one Illustration of it's inadequate
equipment and the ineffective, useless ex'
penditure Of the peoples money.
Governor Tener gave Pennsylvania good
Insurance legislation. IL a study of the
laws Of other states should show that they
are better than ours we should adopt them.
20 that our code may be the best In de-
flning the responsibility of insurance COM
panies. in requiring the safe, economical
conduct of their business and in eliminating
unworthy companies and agents. But
Pennsy'vani should avoid the prevalent
American error that the mere passing OF
laws, unenforced, is a panacea."
