disc reaching nearly billion dollars in
value.
He was known as a great believer in
advertising. in newspaper advertising
above all other varieties. He spent mil
lions of dollars in it. One of the fea-
lures of his advertising campaign was
his development of the Store News
Page" which he led with an editorial
over his own signature, invariably writ
ten by himself to keep the public i'll
tc.'"h with the policies of his business.
His friends often saw him writing such
an editorial ON his way to the store i'll
the morning. scribbling it on the back
of an envelope or any odd scrap of ma
per he had in his pocket.
The religious side of Mr.. Wanna
makers life was one less known to the
general public than any other. but one
in which he was deeply interested. Very
early in life he became a member of the
Rev. John Chambers Presbyterian
church in Philadelphia, and il is related
that when DIR. Chambers appealed to his
congregation for church suitable to its
needs. Mr.. Wanamaker then a boy
shouted enthusiastically iii give a
load of bricks from my fathers brick
yard Later he gathered together a
handful of boys in Il shoemaker's shop
and formed a Sunday school, which was
the nucleus of what is today the Beth
any Presbyterian church of Philadel-
phia. The Bethany Sunday school, of
which Mr.. Wanamaker was superintend-
ent. has 5000 members, and is said to
be the largest Sunday school in the
United States. Mr. Wanamaker took
particular pride in this school, as well
rs the Brotherhood of Andrew and
Philip, which he also founded, and it is
known that he carried about with him
constantly an alphabetical index of the
/ members of the school and brotherhood.
and that, when time permitted, he stud
led this list TO acquaint himself indi-
vidually with all the members. His at
tendance at the Sunday school meetings
kept him on his feet almost continuously
I for eight hours every Sunday. for hC
/ often conducted as many as II meetings
and made short addresses or short-time
i talks at all of them. Such was his sun
day work the year round for over half a
century.
4 Other public institutions which Mr.
Wanamaker Established were the Pres
/ byterian hospital of Philadelphia, and
i the First Penny Savings bank. He alsC
assisted in erecting the many Young
Mems Christian association buildings II
various cites. and contributed TOWARD
college missionary institutions in India
China and Japan. At the outbreak o
the World war he was one of the first T,
assist in the relief Of the stricken Bel
I gians. supplying two shiploads of foo,
I for the invaded country.
Early in his career Mr.. Wanamake
married Miss Mary b. Brown, a siste
/ of his original partner, who co-operate'
with him in much of his philanthropi
work. She died in August, 1920.

John Wanamaker led in the creation

ton in American life At the outbreak
Of the Civil war in 1861 when he began
business for himself in humble way in
Philadelphia, retail merchandising in
this country was in disorganized state.

young merchant, it was suffering Il rapid
decline through practices that We're then

Wanamakcr was impressed with this

GEORGES AGREES TO ALLOW LEWIS USE OF PROTECTOR
Nv Associated Press

London, May 9.-The fight between Georges Carpenter and Ted Kid Lewis in the Black Friar's Road arena next Thursday evening is ex- citing such great interest that the managers of the project have been compelled to increase the seating ac- commodations to large extent.
 There has been considerable quib- bling between the managers of the fighters. but all the difficulties now have been satisfactorily overcome. Lewis had been accused of being de- sirous to wear shock absorber." in the nature of rubber tooth protec- tor.
 This he has shown to the people of the Carpenter camp, and Carpenter, finding that it was not so formidable an affair as had been rumored, has withdrawn his objection to it. The withdrawal, however, carries with 1t the proviso that the protector to be worn the night of the fight must be shown him in the ring before the bout.
 Another difficulty was the question Of a referee. The boxers and the pro- motors finally agreed that the editor Of a sporting paper should appoint the arbiter, and he has nominated J. Palmer. It had been reported that Jack Dempsey who will witness the battle. would referee, but this proved untrue.

Local Post Presents Musical Comedy for Benefit of
 Veterans

The Microbe of Love-" a musical comedy in three acts. presented last nisat al the Jefferson theatre, under the auspices of Birmingham Post No. american Legion, was hugh sec sees both from a standpoint of att sslce and the quality of the act
 1H people of Birmingham re- lr71 ed nobly to the cause of the boys and the entire lower floor and a DOT tion of the balcony was filled when the curtain rose at s:45 o'clock.
 The costuming, especially that of members of the chorus, was beautiful and would do credit to a profe.Gonai company. The settings. especially the last one. which pictures Japan csc garden, were we'll done.
 Every member of the company, who have worked so hard to make the play a success, deserve credit for their work, but Miss Elise Sparrow, as Priscilla Prunes, as president of the Spinsters' club; Miss Stanfiel. who directed the play; Percy Rosen- berger. who took the part of Jere- miah Henpect and Miss Harriett Smith. as Mrs. Henpect were the stars of the show and each drew rounds of applause upon each 6 their ap- pearances.
 The play dealt with a number of old maids who formed a "Spinster Club" to devise means of obtaining a husband The bachelors of the town also organized in an effort to combat the wiles of the spinsters. The Mi- crobe of Love which figured greatly, played its part and the climax of the play found that each of the spin sters had "vamped" a bachelor.
 The musical numbers, of which there were many, were well sung, especially the number Fishing for Bachelors" by Miss Stanfiel and chorus The chorus dressed as far merettes, with fishing poles and us- ing candy kisses as bait. each suc- ceeded in making a catch.
 The money derived from the show will be used in the helping of their less fortunate "buddies." over here.
