PHILADELPHIA. September T.
The return OF thousands of Philadel-
phians who have spent the summer
elsewhere has brought stimulus to the
trade of retail merchants and supply
men this week. There has been brisk
demand for lumber and hardware for
repairs. and many city homes are be-
ing redeconated and refurnished. This
week will see the last Of the clearance
sales Of summer goods, which have
been moving freely under attractive
prices. Retail prices for clothing for
fall and winter are much under those
OF a year ago.
Wholesalers and jobbers have had
satisfactory openings Of fall dry goods
and prices Of. all cottons have stiff
fened. Plants of shirt manufacturers
are working at almost normal capacity.
Gas stoves are in good demand at
prices about 20 per cent under those
Of last year. There is q disposition
to substitute gas for coal because Of
the high price for anthracite.
For the first eight months Of the
year, the total building operations for
which permits were issued fell $22.-
900, 900 below the similar period of
1920. August was the first month to
show an increase over the correspond
ing month Of last year. State authori-
ties fix the number Of unemployed in
this city at $4,000. This estimate is
slightly higher than that of the local
chamber Of commerce.

WAR

The. greatest argument against
war is, OF course war. Like all
platitudes, it is trite and in the
laboring weather OF a warm June
hangs heavy over ones head.
War itself is a great scorner OF
seasons, and men died in June OF
1915. 1916, 1917 and 1918. People
of the world, therefore, are JUS
tilted in declining to wait on sea
sonal favors before discussing the
tremendous question OF disarma-
ment.
1t is not difficult to make peo-
pie think about disarmament; but
it is extremely difficult TO mar

Righteousness. which is anoth-

of disarmament. Righteousness

CHAIRMAN WHITES FOURTH
or July PROCLAMATION TO
DEMOCRATS OF THE NATION

This, our Nations Birthday, our
most patriotic holiday, seems an ap-
propriate time for me to make a state
ment concerning national conditions
and the attitude of our party whose
founders were the most conspicuous
Of the Nations founders.
Throughout the Nation there is
much present uneasiness and much
apprehension for the future; the rea-
sons are political. which is my rea-
son for making this statement.
More than two years ago world
peace was made at Versailles, but for
partisan political reasons this Nation
is not yet at peace with the enemy
Nations of the war, which admittedly
cannot be made by Congressional
resoluti )p. Business has reached such
depression that bitter complaints are
heard from the business world. For
eign trade has declined almost to the
vanishing point. Agriculture is pros
trate. Taxation and governmental
expenditures are at the maximum in
our history. The tremendous percent
lge of idleness in the ranks of labor
5 almost unprecedented.
For more than two years the Re-
publican party has been in charge of
the legislative branch of the govern
ment: for four months il has been in
actual charge of all departments of the
government. but it has not remedied
Tor alleviaied these conditions. and.
so far. has failed of any material ac-
eomplishment. The people are los
ing confidence in the ability OF the
present National administration to
provide adequate remedies for the
conditions described.
During the period of the Republi-
can party's return to power the
Democratic party's attitude towards
its opponent has been constructive.
not obstructive; helpful. not hurtfuL
and il has given the party in power a
fair chance.
/ take this patriotic occasion to
congratulate and compliment the
Democratic party upon its attitude to-
ward the Republican administration:
on its forbearance towards the Exc
cutive. and its efforts of constructive
helpfulness in Legislation. placing the
interests of the country above par
tisan interest. again proving its moral
and political integrity, its true pa
triotism and its devotion to the inter-
ests of the Nation and its people.

To Remove MiIdew

Mildew, which stains and spoils so

a mold. and. like other molds, it may
be killed by strong sunlight The
growth is stopped by drying it in
strong sunshine after moistening it.
but this will not necessarily bleach
the material A great deal depends
upon how long the mildew-mold has
been growing. Sometimes covering it
with lemon juice and letting the sun
shine directly upon it will remove the
spot. Another way is to cover the
stain with a mixture of soap jelly and
pulverize chalk and then expose it
to direct sunlight. Jayelle water will
generally remove the spot when
everything else fails always follow
Javelle water by rinsing with weak
ammonia, then clear water) But if
the mildew stain is very old, there is
danger of its never being removed.

NEW WORLDS FOR OLD

In Their efforts To put into the
curriculum something vital. edu-
cational authorities are turning
more and more 10 the subject OF
geography. Not merely in the
grammar grades do we find it now
receiving more attention than it
used To get; but even i'll the high
schools and colleges it is being
made an attractive feature of the
course of study.
But the material which is now
being offered in the geography
class is not the uninteresting
body of facts it was in the days
when the chief object of the
teacher seemed to be to have her
pupils know the length of all the
rivers in the world, and the al
titude of all the mountain peaks.
1t is small wonder that the chill
dren often wearied of this sort of
educational settino-up exercise.
Why bother at the age of II with
bounding" Utah, and make the
cornering of this fact a momen-
tous educational process in the
life of the child? Utah will al
ways stay where it is now, and
If for any conceivable reason we
must know what state is 10 the
east of it. that information is TO
be had IT any time for the mere
turning Of few pages.
The geography OF today is a
more humanized study than was
IFS predecessor. We are coming
TO see that foreign countries in
addition 10 harhoring mountains
and rivers and lakes. are filled al
So with people. These people are
busy making things and they
want some things that other peo-
pies make. These people who
live in other countries believe
things which in some cases are
different from things which we
believe. They follow customs
which seem 10 us very strange
at times. Some of them speak a
language which is not like the
one we speak.
More and more it is to be this
material which is to be used i'll
the study of geography, if some
educators who have looked into
this question are to have their
way. 1t will bring about. they
say, a better understanding
among nations; it will make for
sympathy and liberal outlook
on the part of the student. The
emphasis is TO be put more on
the people and their ways OF liv-
ing and thinking, then on their
physical environment, which was
once about all there was TO the
study OF geography. And so it
will come about in the end that
instead of finishing his course in
geography in the seventh or
eighth grade, the student will
continue it through the high
school and even in college. For
