,549 ,00S of the 1910 census has been
Increased about 30. 1000 year.
Though most Phiadelphians may not
know il, this city has larger number
of industrial plants employing more
than 500 workers than any city in the
world. Nor is this its only world rec
ord. No city in America or abroad
has so many plants as Philadelphia
where all the processes of manufacture
are performed from the raw material
to the finished product. And Philadel-
sells goods of high quality, for which
buyers pay premium prices because of
the known quality of the goods. All
over the world Philadelphia made goods
of certain widely recognized brands
readily sell at higher prices than com
peting articles because of admitted su-
periority.
Still "City OF Homes
The title of "City of Homes still
clings to Philadelphia in spite Of the
housing difficulties which are felt here
in common with every other city. There
are 100 900 home owners in this city,
greater number than anywhere else.
A large proportion of these homes are
owned by men aud women engaged in
industrial pursuits who are of the third
or fourth industrial generation. They
NAV not have adhered to the trades OF
their fathers and grandfathers, but they
mnintain the same pride in craftsman
ship which has given character for gen
erations to this city's products.
The great proportion of people owning
their own homes and the great number
of savings accounts bring the per capita
wealth OF Philadelphia to high mark
II is estimated that the city has a per
capita worth of $4,000, which is about
twice as high as the per capita wealth
Of the country at large.

The so 900 garden and adjoining res
idence at the southeast corner of Broad
and Thompson streets, belonging to
Louis Burk. pork packer. has been sold
for 100000, thus writing the final
chapter in a seven years litigation.
The Nash Philadelphia Motor Co.
purchased the property and will erect
an automobile sales and service build
ing on the site of what was once one
of the city's finest gardens.
The sale recalls the long drawn out
injunction proceedings instituted by Mr..
Burk against syndicate of local bust
ness men who purchased the site for the
purpose of building moving picture
theatre. To balk the project Mr.. Burk,
who then lived in the adjoining property
at 1897 North Broad street, bought the
corner lot and transformed it into a
beautiful garden.

PARIS. March 13.-Just before his
departure for the United States today.
Georges Carpenter. heavyweight
champion of Europe. declared that he
Is willing to make financial sacrifices
to secure an early contract to fight
Jack Dempsey for the world cham
pionship.
Carpenter said that he is willing
to fight Dempsey regardless of this
war Stacker charges against the
American pugilist. and that, IL Demp-
sey should be sent to Jail he will ask
American fight promoters to hold .
series OF bouts to pick Dempsey's sue
cessor.; so the world championship
contest can be held anyway.
II hope to settle definitely the ar
rangements for a fight with Dempsey
shortly after my arrival in America
said Carpenter. Naturally, I an
interested in the financial returns
but 1 know that the public Ia likely
to become Disguised over long bicker
ing. Consequently, I shall make $40
riices to secure an early contract
After all, there should be some
thing more in boxing than a mere
scramble for money II sporting mes
hope to keep the game clean.
"Of course, am interested In the
Stacker charges against Dempsey
but will hight him regardless uf THE
outcome unless he should be. sent te
Jail for perjury. Ny view Is that
am not fighting Dempsey as an indi-
vidual, but the possessor of the title
and It is the titleholder who must be
defeated. 1t would be the seame II
someone else held It.
III Dempsey Is sent to Jail I shall!
not claim the world championship
myself. I would consider such actor
unfair I shall ask American pro
motors to arrange a series of elimina.
ton bouts to pick Dempsey's success.

he is caught discoloring the ball or
