GOT JOB, BUT LOST HOME
Girl Inhaled Gas When Landlord
Turned Joy to Grief

When told by her landlord that she
would have to vacate her home
because she was in arrears with her
rent, Miss Frances Koleskg, eighteen
years old. attempted suicide by inhalinS
gas in her room on Brown street near
Fifteenth, according to the police.
The girl had been without an income
for weeks. Yesterday she was given
work ut Hog Island and was to start
this morning. When she arrived at her
lodging place in high spirits, the police
say. the landlord met her and declared
she could neither remain in his house
nor take her belongings with her unless
the rent was paid. The girl went to
her room to make preparations for leav e
ing. they say. and few minutes later
was found unconscious.
BY a coincidence, her sister. Mrs.
Mary Bruno. 2650 South Sixteenth
street. had learned only yesterday of
the girls predicamcnt and arrived at
the house to visit and aid Miss Kolesky
Just as she was being removed to St.
Josephs Hospital. where she was in a
serious condition last night.

STRAYER REPORTED
PICKED AS CHIEF
OF STATE SCHOOLS
Columbia University Man Won't
Confirm Rumor-To
Address City Club

Prof. George D. Staycr. Of Column
bia University. is said to be the man
picked by Governor Sproul to succeed
the late Nathan G. Schacffer as state
superintendent of public instruction.
When asked about his selection, Pro :
fessor Strayer said the announcement
would have to come from Harrisburg.
While declining to say whether the
place had been offered to him. the cdu e
cater said that he expected to speak on
"Schcol Surveys next Monday at the
City Club in this city and that he had
kept in touch with educational prob
lens in renpsl lvania.
II have been somewhat familiar" he
said. with conditions in the puplic
school system of Philadelphia for the
last twenty five years. 1t is my opinion
a good survey would be exceedingly
beneficial to the system. A fair csti
mate of the cost of survey in Phila =
delphia would be about $50 900, but a
thorough and complete survey might
| cost as much as Sj0.O00.'
Professor Strayer was born in Wayne.
Pa. in 1876. He received his early
education in the schools of his native
town. but prepared for college at the
| high school of LewistOwn. Pa. In 1898
Ec entered Bucknell University. After
one year at that institution he went to
Johns Hopkins University, where three
| years late. in 1903, he graduated with
| the degrc of bachelor of arts The fol
lowing two years he was student at
Columbia University, obtaining at the
end of that period the degree of doctor
of philosophy. From that time until
the present he has been a member of the
| faculty of the Teachers college at
Columbia University

BREWERS QUIT BUSINESS
Others Offering 2.75 Per Cent Prod
uct and Face Prosecution

Four additional brewers of this
vicinity have been certified TO Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Roper for
his decision on the advisability of rec
Ommending prosecutions. They are al
legged to have sold On per cent beer
brcwed since December /. 1918. con
trary to the ruling Of the Internal Rev
enue Department, which has refused the
necessary revenue stamps for this beer.
In some cases. it is said, they have
taken old stamps on hand and attached
them to barrels of the forbidden brew.
While some brewers are disputing the
Revenue Department authority to
prosecute for selling the higher alco-
holc beer. others are abiding by the
decision and when they are exhausted
of the old brew close their establish =
ments. According to Ephraim Lederer.
collector of internal revenue for this
district. three breweries, whose names
he refused to divulge, already have
ceased business.

HURLEY AGAIN BACK
At OFFICE OF FLEET
Shipping Board Chairman Will
Witness gath Hog Island
Launching Today
SAYS YARDS FACE CRISIS

Edward y. Hurley. chairman Of the
United States shipping board, will sec
Hog Island today for the first time in
seven months.
Mr.. Hurloy has not visited the large
shipyard since he went abroad. He
will be accompanied on the tour OF
inspection today by Director General
Piez. of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. and Matthew c. Brush, president
of the American International Ship
building Corporation, and will witness
the twenty fourth launching at the
shipbuilding plant.
1t was announced at the Office OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation that
beginning today Mr.. Hurley will spend
the greater part of his time in Phila-
delphia experimenting the affairs of the
feet corporation. Director General PicZ
will retire from his present position
May /.
Yards Facing Crisis
A number of old established shipyards
along the Atlantic coast are facing
bankruptcy. according to Mr.. Piez.
The situation at these yards, Mr..
Picz stated, compare with that at the
Pusey & Jones plants at Wilmington and
Gloucester. An application for the
Appointment of receiver of the Pusey
& Jones Company was filed in the
United States District Court at Trenton
Saturday.
Director General Piez refused to di-
vulge the name Of the yards facing grave
| financial difficulties. for fear that this
may serve to hurt their credit. But
he said most of these yards are located
in New England and Southern States.
The chief cause Of these difficulties
he attributed to the excessive invest
mcnts in shipbuilding equipment, which
the owners hoped would be compensated
for by the large profit upon the com
pletion of the ships contracted for by
the government.
Plans Shattered
"At some of the yards" he said. 'th'
Iowners hoped to realize profits two ant
three times the cost of the new equip
mcnt, but their plans were shattered b!
the curtailment in the shipbuilding pro
gram. 1t is no wonder that number o
yards are drifting toward rcceiverships
THE owners planned to take the COS
of the vast improvements out of tn
proceeds of the first contract no add
ed. mo doubt. if the war had continued
the large improvements in the shipbuild
ing facilities would have paid for them
selves from the profits.
"At one wooden shipyard. the owner
spent $50, 900 in equipment on cacl
way, and expected to realize S125,OOO
which would give them a net of S4l ,oo
for each hull. This would pay for tn
equipment and would still allow ther

sufficient profits. In another yard the
owners invested 81 200, 900 in improve
ments and figured that their returns
following the completion of the first
contract would total three million dol
lars. In other words, they figured on
profits from two to three times the
amount invested in equipment"

day morning that he
came in and said he
wanted to see a suit

stantial citizens, well
passed t h e exploded
Osler efficiency a age,
and, to the lay mind, a
difficult figure to fit.
l When he and one Of
our statesmen got back
to our "short stout" sec
ton, he made the above
quoted confession. He
also said he had never
before been in our
store, but had heard !
from other men that we
delivered t h e goods

a man right.
q And then he went on
to express his satisfac-
ton at being able to see
suit after suit made up
as it was to look, and
try on pattern after pat
tern before our mirrors
and see the effect in its
finished state-without
trying to imagine from
the loose drapery of the
yardage what it would

fed with the expendi-

We have marched through some
large cities and they are as up to date
as some OF ours. and the people look
and act more like home folks than
some OF the other countries I have
been in
