PERPETUAL CLOTURE

One cannot help but be impressed,
upon reading one Of the lengthy
speeches CT Senator La Toilette, with
the utter futility of this mans out
bursts.
La Toilette best of all knows that
he cannot sway the senate to his al
legged process of thought and belief,
This has been demonstrated time after
time. =
What then, is his purpose?
l.ar'ollcre is sufficiently well adver-
tiscd and sufficiently uufavorably 'ad,
vcrtiscd by mono other than I.afollctte
himself to creep inte retirement the
balance of his life and still be rcmem-
bcrcd as an obStruCtiOni8t.
Is it publicity?
Only as publicity caters to the mans
ego.
Disgusting as is the task of chron-
icllng La follcttcs trcaaouahlo utter
anccs for they are little better than
such II Is the more disgusting TO re-
call that the man is an American, in
name at least; that he is educated;
that he fully realizes what every dccla'
maticn of his does to impede and hin
der the administration and still per
sists.
The senate has declared against in,
voking the cluturc rule in debate ON
the present war tax bill 1t would do
we'll to invoke an everlasting cloturo
on La Toilette, allowing him merely
time to say "Mr. President and sit
down again.

JAPS TO FIGHT?

An imaginary picture of America
bolstcring up France and England or
the western front and Japan afordinl
support TO Russia aud Italy on the
eastern front presents features of in
tcrcst
These two great nations, right at
this very time engaged in a discussion
OF what each can best do in the war,
unqucstionabIy hold the balance of
the power, as it were, where victory
for The allies is concerned
The United States has in turn enter
tanned the diplomatic commissions of
France, England, Belgium, Russia and
ltaly and now como tho Japanese,
Former commissions sought to tell
.this country their experiences in the
war and to warn the United States
against "a repetition of certain mis-
takes which were made abroad. Also,
these nations sought credit from this
country
Tho Japanese mission, however, is
distinct II has not participated In the
war TO any noticeable extent, 1t does
not seek loan from the United
States. Just what it will discuss
would be u matter of supreme interest
TO the nation, but of course the ma
ton viii never know until the war Is
ended
Japan has fighting force of over
two million trained men She is well
equipped with arms and ammunition.
History shows that her soldiers are
never taken prisoners They will
fight to bitter death before this. Fur,
thor, the spirit exists that no Jan can
honorahly cease lighting, despite the
odds, as long as he Is alive.
Does Japan intend TO propose to the
United States that she aid her enc
mics of hul a few years ago Russia
ON the eastern front. This is hardly
probable What Is more likely is that
tho far east country plans to unite
with the Italians against the Aus
triau8.
The coming OF the Japanese mission
i3Nitally important and of tremendous
consequence The world will probabl!

KNOWN
PRODUCT MADE HERE

1t is very we'll known that the an
clients not only had a full knowledge
of the manufacture of cement but
that they used 1t; yet cement was not
used in this country to any extent un-
til very recent years. Fifty years ago
it might be said that it was so little
used as to be a negligible quality. In
1876 the first general attempt was
made to populariZe products made of
cement.
Cast Stone Practical Product
Cast stone has been fully demon
strated to be the most practical meth
cd of the age. 1t supplies the long felt
want existing for perfectly reliable as
we'll as economical building material /;
in fact, it is fast taking the lead of
all materials now known to the build
ing world.
This wonderful product is manu-
factured right in our midst. The
Mentzer Romberger Manufacturing
Company, the only concern in this
line in this part of the country, is
among the leaders of the world to-
day in the manufacture of cast stone
and trimming. They have to their
credit some of the largest and most
prominent edifices built throughout
the country in recent years.
Notably among these are the Key
stone Bank, built by Harold A, Hip
pie; Messiah Lutheran Church.
Fourth Reformed Church, Tenth
Ward school, all in his city; other
prominent structures furnished with
cast stone and trimming by his firm
are: st. jerome r. C. Church,

AS you pass either up or down
North Third street your eye will most
surely fall with admiration on the
beautiful and substantial looking
building at the corner of Calder street
which is the home of the new Key
stone Bank. 1t is a striking example
of noble simplicity over the modern
tendency towards accommodation,
and the taste and fitness of the de-
burg for many years. Although of a
very simple design it is nevertheless
one of the most attractive and novel
buildings in the city and has called
forth much favorable comment, not
only from architects and builders, but
from all who chance to pass by this
corner.
The exterior of the building is faced
with a red brick of very pleasing
color and trimmed with concrete
stone. The brick work this building
has been laid with os what the archi-
tect and contractor know as strip
joints" giving themost charming eff
feet that has been attained by any
bricklaying artists. This work, to-
gether with its trimmings of con-
crete stone, have been harmonized
in such a successful manner that the
result must be seen to be appreci-
ated.
AS one enters the interior of the
building through the massive brick
doors on the corner, the same simple
beauty in design meets the eye. The
Vestibule leads into a public lobby
with a tile floor and thoroughly
equipped with every modern convent
ence to the banking public. The in
terror woodwork is all of mahogany
and massive mahogany beams span
the ceiling. on the main floor there is.
besides the main banking room, lobby,
coupon and telephone booths, etc, the
presidents and cashiers rooms. At
the rear of the building there is a
mazzalin floor above the vault which
has been fitted as a directors room.
Massive Vault
The great burglar and fire-proof
vault in the rear of the building is
constructed of REINFORCED concrete
and steel, the entire thickness of the
walls being nearly two feet. The out
side door to this vault is of a steel of
special hardness, made special for this

These are but few of the hundreds
of beautiful buildings furnished by the
Mentzer Romberger Manufacturing
Company. This firm, of which Sam
.uel +. Mentzer is the directing head,
has been in business since 1905, prior
to which he was in the general con-
tracing business for many years. He
is man of wonderful experience and
has developed the art of manufac-
turing this product to the highest de-
gree. He gives his personal attention
to every detail and is usually instru-
mental in improving the designs of
even the most critical.

Hupple is very careful in securing
none but the most able and respon-
sible sub-contractors to be had. These
people carry out the plans of Mr..
Nipple just the same as if he were
doing the work himself. Each man
takes particular interest in his work,
and when the jobs are finished they
point with pride TO the fact that they
are a part of the active Nipple organ
ization. They are in great measure
deserving of considerable praise for
their share in the development of the
business.
Among those employed as sub-con-
tractors are: HERE Bros, Harrisburg's
leading plumbing and heating con-
tractors; s. j. Brown & Son, hricklay-
ing; Jacob Motter, plastering; Neidig

MANY DESERVE PRAISE

Particular mention should be given
to those who have helped Nipple grow.

work for Mr.. Nipple, know their bust
ness in detail.
Jacob o. Matter, the Nipple plas-
terer, is man whose work is abso-
lutely above reproach.
w. S. Cunkle & Son, marble and
tile contractors, are the Oldest concern
in their line in this part of the State,

The interior of the vault has a space

FIRST QUALITY
OF MATERIALS

The materials that go into buildings
is naturally a most important factor
to be considered, and Mr.. Nipple has
endeavored to have at his disposal the
products of the largest and best firms
