GGTHE New American Figure"
requires new American
clothes to fit it. None Of the boys of
the gallant Iron Division will be able
to wear the clothes they left behind
them, for army training has toned
down the soldiers waist, developed
his chest and brought out muscles
hitherto invisible. But with all these
changes Jacob Reeds Sons, l424-26
Chestnut street, have kept step, de-
veloping not muscles but models, and
for the army lieutenant The Reed
is suggested. The shoulders of this
trim business jacket have stra ight-
up military character; the bareback
treatment, with high step vent, pro
duces an effect similar to the jacket
of English officers, and the waistcoat
opening is low enough to show an
expanse of shirt front.

" a treat in store for them; one

TT REALLY is quite amusing to
see the crowds still gazing at the
ruins Cif we may call.them that
of the fine shop of Oppenheim, Col
Inns & Co., at Chestnut and 18th
streets Many cannot realize that
the store is temporarily not doing
business, and keep beseging the
doorkeeper for admittance. BY some
strange freak the fire left the
ground floor show windows and con-
tents apparently intact. and prob
ably those who have not been down
before do not realize the damage
done. 1t is regrettable that the MANY
strangers in town this week will be
unable to make the acquaintance of
and do their purchasing at Omen
helm, Collins G. Co., for they had pre-
pared many attractive pieces of
wearing apparel. But stop in on
your next trip.

NIHI are you so cross today?
w Because it is wash day, a day
of confusion and hours of
hard work? But Blue Monday can
be changed into Sunny Monday by
using the Western Electric Washing
Machine sold by the House Furnish
ing Store of ]. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut street. and with it the most
troublesome of tasks, the family
wash, is accomplished easily, quickly
and economically. 1t is simp to
operate, just put the clothes in the
cylinder, start the motor and, while
the machine is doing the work, go
about your other duties. 1t is esti-
mated that sclubbing boards or laun-
dries rub out 800 of the clothes. but
the Western Electric will not iniure
the most delicate of fabrics, and the
electricity for a weeks wash costs
only three to five cents.

TRULY, Nature cannot be ac-
cused of being niggardIy when
she offers man, with open
hands, the greatest of all boons-
health health through drinkir~ the
vitalized waters from one of her
most famous springs. the Mountain
Valley Spring, whose waters are sold
at 7l8 Chestnut street. Nationally
known as being especially good for
kidney, stomach and bladder trou-
bles, this water, which comes from
the neighborhood of the famous Hot
Springs of Arkansas, possesses Won
derful properties, and as a preven-
tive of illness is without a peer.
Pure. palatable and tasteless, it is
delightful to drink at all times in
place of the none-too-tempting
Schuylkill water, an doubly so when
it is realized that every glass acts
as a tonic, building up the system
and creating new vitality.

According to private adyiceS TO- ccived in Seward last Friday, it was known that the Alaska railroad appro. priation bill was to be fought. Chair man Good, of the House appropria tious committee threatened to cut out all large appropriations added to the deficiency bill as he said the Repubi- cans meant to retrerch.
 The Alaska railroad appropriation item was the largest increase made to the bill by the Senate. Joe Cannon was one of those strongly opposing the seventeen million dollar appropriation. Immediately tho attitude of Chairman Good became known, a co! HpromiSe was perfected. This compromise was nothing more nor less than for the Alaska raihoad to be given six mil lion dollars, the estimate submitted for construction work, etc, to the end of the present fiscal year which is June 3Oth, 1920.
 The compromise was agreed to and the remainder of the seventeen million dollars will be placed in the next sun dry civil bill.
 The Deficiency bill will possibly be passed by congress within the next few weeks Anyway the appropriation of the six million dollars will be avail able when needed and will not be trail ing along during the summer and rail road retarded like has been done dur ing the past three years.

SAYS GREAT BRITAIN REALLY DEMOCRATIC
 AND PROVES TO BE so

LONDON, Oct, 2S- Proof that Great Britain is really Democratic country was furnished by the recent railway strike episode, Premier Lloyd George declared in an address. Speaking at the Mansion house. at a reception to Field Marshal Allenby, conquerer of Palestine who was given the freedom of the city, the premier said:
 "Now that the episode on the whole front is over, all classes must work together. The country needs it. We all belong to the working classes in this country. l claim to be q working man in all except the eight hour day. The strike proved that this is a really Democratic country where public opinion must prevail" '"
 Keeping along the same line of thought the Premier continued"
 "PIussianiSm in the industrial and economic world must not prevail. Great Britain has once more rem dered deep and lasting service to real freedom by defeating an effort to hold up the community and strangle it into submission. The na- ton means to be strong, firm and just but always master.

.RR. GETS SIX MILLION
ALASKA COLONEL
 BACK AND WILL
 REJOlN RAILROAD

Home from France, where h. served l7 months, working an aver age of more than l2 hours day and having only three days off in all that time, II. P. Warren, until recently lieutenant colonel of the 55th Engin-- eers, yesterday returned to the staff of the Alaskan Engineering CommiS' sion, says the Seattle Times.
 He is under orders to proceed to Seward, Alaska, in few weeks.
 In France he received citation from General Pershing. Col. Warren known in the Panama Canal zone anl Alaska as "Horse-Power" Warren helped to build the canal and the governments Alaska railroad. In 1916 he was detailed to Seattle as engineering representative of tn" commission.
 Tanks Best in World
 "I come back from France with one fact stamped on my mind he said today. land that is, that the American soldier is the topnotch man of the world and what say is true of the infantry, artillery, engineers and all the rest.
 Give me bunch of privatcS and noncoms from our engineer troops and I'll guarantee to do anything The 55th was wonderful regiment, composed mostly of farmer boys from the middle west, and they were the most adaptable men ever have seen."
 When Col. Warren landed in France, the regiment was sent to LeMans, where Warren was appoint, ed division engineer. Later he has promoted to assistant section engt- neer of Intermediate Section West. the largest section of the American engineering corps in France except the advance section, which covered the fighting front. The Intermediate Section West embraced about one. eighth of France.
 Col. Wauan had charge of all the construction work in the section and was building six large hospitals when the armistice was signed.
 Men Never Complained
 Col. Warren built large mum Der of barracks with hunks for 100 men. Because of lack of materials. .hcre were no doors.
 But we never had even a minO' complaint from our soldiers k" said today. "Thcy were superb"
 After three months, the headQuar- terS of Intermediate Section West was transferred from Geivres to Paris and Colonel Warren, in addition to his other duties, had charge of build ing the huge Pershing Stadium, seat ing l7,OOO persons, for the interal- lied athletic meet last June. His as sistant was Maj. Joseph Jacobs, for merely a consulting engineer in Seat tie.
 After tho amiStice Gel Farrcn began restoring roads. He had 15,OOO soldiers on that job for three months.
 One of Col. Warren's gangs had to dig through section of Roman coins One was presented to Col. Warren. It is a copper coin of the great Emperor Constantine.
 The Alaska engineer was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel last February and acted as commanding officer for the following four months. He left France in August and receiv- ed his discharge at Camp Lewis Sept. 24th.
