This Down Stairs Store Is Well
Worth Looking Over

In some respects you will see changes for
the good in many directions, on this one great
floor covering an area of not less than four
acres, including galleries.
Even casual look, walking on this Main
Floor of the Down Stairs Store from Market to
Chestnut and from Juniper to Thirteenth, will
give you an idea that we have the room to lay
out the Departments with full assortments of
goods within moderate prices.
Please bear in mind that we purchase no
goods at auction, nor bankrupt stocks, nor of
any cheap labor factories.
Please bear in mind that our buyers, some
of them are in the market every day except
Saturday, and the markets in this and other
cities are carefully inspected with money in
hand ready to take any new lots of goods, which
cover the latest fashions in wearing apparel, and
many desirable things that can only be bought
for cash down.
The unusual sales of fashionable new
things announced from time TO time in the
Philadelphia newspapers will be valuable sin
making people better acquainted with what is
going on in the Down Stairs Store.

Then there is mystery plane, an
eight-engine plane now building in one
of the most reputable plants in Eng
land, that is expected to carry great
er load than the biggest Handley Page.
In the course of few weeks the new
est mammoth will be flown-and If 1t

ers, it will carry a load Of fifteen tons.
Its wing spread is one hundred and
fifty feet and its speed will be ninety
miles an hour.
When I saw Mr.. Handley Page at
his factory Office the other evening, he
emphasized the fact that commercial
aviation, far from being dream for
the remote future, is now virtually an
accomplished fact. a
Sees Big Future IN America. y
He believes that America will be the
nation in which the commercial air
plane will come into general use very
soon. He looks forward with great,
anticipation to a visit to the United
States, and perhaps while there will
cooperate with some of the leading
manufacturers.
Mr.. Handley Page is the English
man who preached and pleaded for the
construction Of giant bombing air.
planes during those first years OF the
war when the attention Of every war
ring nation was directed toward the
building of the lighter strictly COM
bat machines.
He is the father of the big plane
idea and always insisted that the wars
kend could be fastened by giving the
) Rhine towns, and Berlin itself, dose
of the same terror Hun airmen gave
London.
Berlin's escape was narrow. Had
the war lasted another month the Brit
ish Handley Page planes would have
reached the German capital.
Instead, we may expect to see in
America some of the machines that
were built to bomb Berlin flying, dur
ling the early summer months, in q
series Of record-breaking trips, making
an effort to capture the distance and
weight-carring records for the world.
We can also expect the Handley Page
craft to fly in nonstop trips from cities
on the eastern seaboard, westward to
Chicago and st. Louis, carrying tons
Of freight.
In the meantime the Handley Page
company has arranged for the insti-
tuition Of a passenger and freight-car-
rying air line between Paris and Lon
don. In France, the Farman Aviation
company has just announced it's inten-
ton Of branching out into the strictly
~
commercial field.
BY the time the peace treaty is sign
ed, and an international aviation agree
ment has been reached, we may expect
to see at least score of the big repu-
table companies advertising for pas
sengers.

Poland, one Of the new democracies,
was suffering from lack of foods that
could only be supplied from America.
Saved From Starvation.
Hoover sent DR.. Vernon Kellogg to
investigate the Situation. Kellogg re-
ported "Poland must have immediate
assistance from the outside world
(Which meant America) If the poorer
inhabitants of the large cities and the
unemployed workmen and children in
the industrial centers were saved from
starvation"
Under normal conditions, Poland is
self-supporting, as regards food, but
four and a half years of war had
brought the nation to desperate straits.
German looters stripped all machines
of copper and betting. Scores of ma
chimes were wantonly destroyed. Tons
of stuff were carried away by the Ger
mans.
In all Poland, with it's 100000 peo-
pie, the danger Of starvation was a
daily menace from December, when
tho peace conference started, until
food from America arrived.
- Take Security.
It is with such nations as Poland
that Hoover has to deal. There was
only one way to obtain some kind Of
compensation for American foods dis

siderable risk when one thought in

the war, vision of the kind Of air.
plane that was needed to finish the Ger
mans and then become the servant of
peace-time needs.
Giant Machine Is Ready.
The new four-engine Handley Page
machine, the kind of craft that flew
fl ON England to India, can carry five
tons of freight in addition to one thou
sand gallons of gasoline. No craft of
this type has yet been assembled in
America. The Handley Page machine
that made a! number Of successful
flights in the United States during the
war is wo-engine craft, and had a
carrying capacity of two tons.
This new machine, which was to have
carried a load of thirty 25O-pound
bombs, had the war lasted another
month, will comfortably accommodate
sixty passengers.
It's great fuselage is 60 feet from pi.

In the enormous tail machine guns

The wheels, of which there are four
beneath the main body, are shoulder
high to tall man.
If the Atlantic is crossed by airplane
during 1919, Mr.. Handley Page be-
lieves this is the machine that will
turn the trick.
1t was in the smaller Handley Page,
the two-engine machine, that Maj. Gen
w. G. III. Salmond, accompanied by a
British airman. flew from Cairo to In
dia, the whole journey from Cairo to
Karachi, India, occupying thirty-six
hours actual flying time.
While the Handley Page company
has so far led in the building of giant
airplanes other concerns are known to
be working on similar types, some Of
which have actually been flown with
success.

Paris.-Backed by 500, 100000 voted
by congress, Herbert Hoover is here
directing Americas big part in feed
ing the famine-threatened nations of
Europe.
But it is not the policy of Mr.. Hoov-
er's commission to give food away to
the peoples now so sorely pressed with
reconstruction problems. They must
pay-at once, whenever possible.
When they cannot pay, they are to be
given credit, with security that will
insure America against total loss.
Any other policy would mean the
pauperization Of Europe, and Hoover
has no intention whatever of conduct
ing commission that would quickly
put the millions of Roumania, Poland,
and Serbia, to say nothing of the en-
emy nations, into mighty bread line.
With this fundamental policy as the
basis Of conducting gigantic relief
commission, Mr.. Hoover first Of all
needed money and authority to start
the machinery. He> had come to Eu-
rope with $5,OOO,OOO apportioped from
President Wilson'S contingent funds to
finance such immediate relief work as
was found, upon investigation, to be
absolutely necessary for the salvation
of Europe's new democracies, the
Czecho-Slovaks, the Poles and Serbs,
and also the ROumanians.
Congress Votes $1oo,ooo,0oo.
When Hoover had had chance to
look around, he discovered that So
100000 was just about enough to
finance food shipments for one of these
nations. He did not single out one ma
tion, however, but ordered cargoes ag-
gregating $15,000,OOQ rushed from the
United States at once.
He trusted the American people to
provide the capital needed. And when
he got the first news of the final pas
sage of the $1OO,OOO,OOO appropriation
in congress, an expression of relief
came into his face that had not been
there for weeks. q,

lE7E airplane business that is go
ing to come just as soon as
the peace treaty is signed.
America, it is generally agreed, forms
the most fertile field for the develop
ment of commercial aviatiOn-passen-
ger traffic and freight carrying. At
least one British oncern-Handley
Page, Limited-is willing to cooperate
with American manufacturers.
Lord Weir, the British air minister,
expects the parliament to consider and
pass code of rules, the first Laws
of the Air." that have been prepared
by the leading men in the aviation in-
dustry.
The next step will be the formation
of an international flying convention,
by a committee that will probably be
appointed by the peace conference.
1T will be appreciated" Lord Weir
has just declared, "that until this con-
vention is signed and this domestic
legislation becomes operative there can
be no flying at all, either internation-
ally or in this country
In the meantime there are at least
100000 men and women working every
day here in the airplane and airship
factories. And the British air minis
try is expecting to remain in business
as part of the government, with some
changes perhaps, but still as an active
force to promote aviation in peace
times.
This is only part Of the preparation
that is being made here for widespread
passenger traffic and rapid transporta-
tion of mail by means of airplanes.
The other preparatory effort that is
now under way Is the marking off,
through Europe and Asia, Of interna-
tional airways that will prove most
practicable for the era of aerial pas
senger traffic soon to come.
Paris-london Line Sure.
1t seems settled fact that one of the
the LondOn-Paris trip across the Eng
lish channel, now requiring at least
twelve to fourteen hours.
Airplanes on military missions dur
ing the past few months have been
taking passengers and delivering them
reason to believe that civilian passen-
ger traffic will not be carried on the
same quick schedule-possible before
the early summer months. The fare
will be high at first. Later, when more
machines are available and competition
becomes a<factor, it will be possible I'd
fly to Paris at treble the cost of land
and water transportation say $50 or
even less The first charges, the fare
now under consideration for the first
flights, will be approximately SIS,
sum that will prove prohibitive to all
except wealthy travellers.
Members of the British air ministry
are confident the American liberty mo-
tor will take prominent part in COM
mercial aviation.
"Here in England" lieutenant COL
onel at the air ministry said, 1--WE are
naturally fond of the Rolls Royce en-
gine. We know, nevertheless, that
the Liberty motor is fine piece Of
workmanship and that it can be pro-
duced much more rapidly than the

thing like two thousand separate parts.

motors for the bombing machines that
