Charging that the Soviet's money had

Soviet authorities found themselves in
the same position as a bank robbcr in
this country who took his money to

it was stolen. Russian officials who
have tried to purchase American goods,
he added, had been unsuccessful because

those countries could be reopened. He
said he was inclined to favor such a
plan if it would aid exporters.
Discussing the situation with regard

for a further increase as war condi-

Andrew Wright Crawford. a memeber
of the board Of the Fairmount Park Art
Association. replied today to state
ment by William Draper Lewis. In his
statement Mr.. Lewis said it would be
financially impossible to hold the worlds
fair unless constitutional convention
were called and revision of the state
constitution put through.
That, he said, would allow the city to
raise funds for the project by two meth

to assess sections that will be benefited
by the improvements contemplated for
the worlds fair, and second, the right
to borrow funds regardless of existing
outstanding loans.
Only by these changes. said DR..
Lewis. can the barrier be overcome.

heels of announcement Of the elaborate
plan of Paul Cret, architect. for the
world fait improvements on the Park
way and along the Schuylkill.
Mr.. Crawford Explains
For his reply. Mr.. Crawford says
Philadelphia can push ahead plans
even if it's financial powers are not
enlarged by revision of the state con-
stitution.
In the next five years this city can
borrow from $50. 900 900 to $50 .OOO,-
600. Mr.. Crawford declared. He pointed
out that the San Francisco worlds fair

has been quoted correctly" Mr.. Craw-
ford said. That reasoning could. ap-
ply to the Fairmount Parkway but we

There is no reason for not going
ahead with the plan. 1t is legitimate

the rapid transit system, new streets,
parks and SO forth.
81 do not at the moment know the
city's borrowing capacity today, but
even If it were completely used up to-
day. in the course of five years we
could borrow $50, 900, 900 or $50, 900. e.
600 more at least.
"The reason is because of the irregu
lar advance in assessed valuations, but
it makes q steady advance ON the av.
erage OF about $50, 200. 900 a year. 1C
per cent of which would mean 81, 900,
600 more borrowing capacity each year
Then there is steady increase
caused by sinking fund payments OF
more than $4,000, 900 year. The cost
of these fairs is not by any means
borne by the city alone. The federal
government, the state government and
all the other states and nations build
and pay for their own buildings.
''The portion which the city would

finance would be the acquisition of the
ground along the west bank OF the
Schuylkill and the right to build such
buildings above the railroad tracks and
some property on the east side. But
that would be a permanent assessment
for all time.
"Then there are the expenses that
the city would take anyway for its
own exhibitions DIR. Cret thinks that
the former world fairs have been too
large, and yet the total cost OF the San
Francisco fair was nothing like the
$40, COO, 900 that Philadelphia can bor-
row in five years, but only $50, 200 900
all told. At San Francisco they took
in $23, 400, 900, and had a 81, ,200, 900
surplus. -.
III hope the power of excess con-
demnation will be granted. but let's go
ahead with the fair as we have gone
ahead with other improvements that
are rapidly pushing Philadelphia to
leadership in such matters."s

MYSTERY MEN DRILLING

The Mystery men are taking pre-
cautions for the protection of peo-
pies property on the streets and in
cars and they request that people
tag their cars or place some means
OF identity on each side, so that they
shall make no mistake about getting
into some other car thinking it is
their own.
The Mystery men have concluded
that during the present winter when
employment is scarce and money
conditions are tight, people who have
been in the habit of living at ease
without earning all that they con-
sumo may be tempted to disturb
other peoples property and there is
a determination that nothing of this
kind shall be permitted. People who
drive into the towns and villages
will not need to leave guard over
their vehicles and those who attend
shows and entertainments are adj
vised that all they need to do is to
protect their engines from freezing
and to make no mistake about get
ting into the wrong car when they
come out to start home. Country
people are advised that they will be

In 1907 Byrne was David S. Kidd.
q tea salesman of Toronto, on bust
ness in Chicago. 1t was his custom
to carry Bible with him. In sa-
loon in the slums he was attracted by
the beauty and intelligence of a twen-
ty-year-old girl, who had fallen from
her position as the daughter of
wealthy miner.
The girl told him her story, and he
urged her to return to her family.
Finally, drawing the Bible from his
pocket, he read the story of Mary
Magdalene. The girl was so affected
that she promis ed to return to her
home.
A few weeks later Kidd received a
letter from the girls father, then of
Baltimore, which said:

ings. Help other women as you have
helped my girl-go out among them

because feel so toward you, I ask
