riage Of Chestnut Hill Girl
to College Professor

Miss Rachel W. Latta, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. William J. Latta, of
Wissahickon Heights. Chestnut Hill
and Harry A. Franck. versatile profes-
sor Of languages. author. soldier and
"vagabond." were married at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon at the home of the
brides parents.
Miss Latta was doing secretarial work
overseas and Mr.. Franck was n lieu
tenant in the intelligence service of the
army when they met in France. Miss
Latta returned to America last Sep
tember, after year spent in the war
zone. Mr.. Franck was discharged from
the army April - at Coblenz, Germany,
where he was serving with the Third
army.
He returned less than two weeks ago
after tramping trip taken through
occupied Germany. and he is now writ e
ing a book on his experiences. lie Will
be recalled as the author of "a Naga .

numerous other books and magazine
articles on tramping trips through
strange lands.
Mr.. Franck was born in 1881, the
son of a village blacksmith in Michigan.

by the plan. Market street. Chestnut
street, Fifty second and Market streets,
Broad street and Columbia avenue are
some instances. We have used the same
plan successfully in New York among
our clients there.
The most striking illustration of the
success of the lease concerns the base
ment of certain Market street prop
erty. We figured that its 5000 square
feet of space warranted an estimated
rental of $15 900.

but were always told the price was
too high and the space too small
Finally we persuaded Philadelphia
concern to take the property on ten
year lease, paying part of the business
in rental. While we have the right to
audit the tenants books to determine
our share of the rent we have never
done so. for the payments have almost
eUualed the rental of the first floor of
the same building. For the six months
ending June l last our check has ex-
ceeded $50 900. four times the figure
at which the tenant was willing to
lease the basement on a straight basis.
Glad to Pay 1t
Whenever that tenant brings in his
check he makes a particular point to
say how glad he is TO pay, for he as
well as the landlord is prospering.
This may seem like sn unusual
case. but it shows what can be done.
Among our clients who frequently ac-
cent percentage leases here are the
United Cigar Stores, Newark Shoe
Store. Riker Hageman Company. the
Woolworth Company, the w. T. Grant
Company. and Horn & Hardart.
Showing the widespread localities
affected, United Cigar Stores at lOl

WARNS OF TYPHOID
Doctor krusen Tells vacatIonIsts tc
Beware Of Disease


Summer vacationists are again warned
by Director Krusen against the dangers
from typhoid fever in resorts and camps
where the sanitary conditions are not a
primary consideration. Last year ap
proximately % per cent of the typhoid
fever cases were imported from out of
the city. The statement Is made that
not one case Of typhoid fever in this
city last year can be traced to the water
supply of the city. Imported cases give
rise to others through contact, or
through the handling of foodstuffs. Car
riers are also responsible. These are
persons having the disease, who may
stiIl continue, during apparent good
health, to disseminate germs of disease.
THE only certain safeguards for per =
sons who travel" says Director
Krusen, "is to get vaccinated against
typhoid fever. This procedure has been
recognized by the best medical military
authorities throughout the world as a
reasonable safeguard against the dis
ease. Every one of our soldiers and
sailors has been vaccinated. The re-
suit has been negligible typhoid rate
