Warns jewelers. of .Misbranding

The Copper and Brass Research
Association has sent out warnings 70
manufacturing jewelers. against the
mislabeling Of copper, brass and
bronze. The attention Of the associa-
tion recently was called to bargain
sales of handbags. Investigation
showed that a manufacturing jeweler,
to turn out low priced jewelry, had
tried to plate brass on steel frames.
The steel frames had rusted through
the brass plating and the bag pre-
sented such disreputable appearance
after months use that it had to be
discarded

ing provisions FOR raising the money
necessary tc its financial require

the Congress ignored entirely in the
Bonus bill tina, President Harding We
,oed.
There is no doubt q large amount
o. public sentiment L. opposed 70 a
bonus. Many citizens do not believe
in the propriety of this manner Of
recognizing the valuable service Of
our soldiers in the war. They prefer

and 10 the disabled veterans. They
might. however. be reconciled 20 a

quirements. but never 20 one that

This is not al all surprising. and il
is but legitimate result OF the atti-

Harding since our government was

OLD TIME RAILROADING,

There are numerous trains on the
Pennsylvania Railroad that make the
run between New York and Washing
ton in less than six hours. There are
some that make the trip in only few
minutes more than Ave houre. And
so solid is the roadbed. so comfort
able the cars. that passengers sitting
AT their ease are really unaware of the
tremendous speed at which the trains
are run.
Elsewhere in this issue we reprint
an interesting article. compiled by Col
onel George Nox Mccain OF the
Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger.

New York and Warrington nearly n

old Wiimingtonian. whose father was

How the people OF tina; Ray rejoiced
