WIDENING Of COMMERCIAL STREET Will
GIVE STORES SHOW WINDOW ADVANTAGES
MOVE MAILING PLATFORM TO Laurel ST.

to be located on Laurel street, they
have not yet been approved by the post
Office department, but all indications
are that the new mailing place will be
erected.
AS was mentioned in these columns
some time ago, the need of central
mailing place to relieve congestion has
been felt. The large amount of mail
matter from the city's publishing
houses stresses this need and the Lau-
rel street project will relieve the sit
uation. By this new mailing system
the mail included in that class will not
go through the post Office.
The proposed new mail shed prob
ably will be located on land owned by
the Maine Central Railroad on Laurel
street in the rear of the F'uller-Holway
and Edwards Manufacturing Co. ware
houses at the north end of the city.
| The plans call for one-story building
140 feet long. to be built of brick. with
| covered platform ESQ feet long abut-
ting on the railroad tracks. The build
| ing itself will have ample rooms for
the sorting and handling of the second
class matter and will be equipped with
scales for weighing it. The platform
will permit the loading of four mail
cars simultaneously and will obviate
considerable OF the re-handling which
| is at present necessary. and the pro-
posed location of the new building will
divert the big trucks away from Wa
| ter street and Rines Hill entirely.

Such was the declaration tonight of

gy OF the University of Pennsylvania.
speaking before the Chicago Sunday
Evening Club, in pointing out that
the thing the common people felt in
Jesus and would always feel in His
religion was the simple equality of
Love"-which he termed the core Of
common sense religion.

the experts in religion the common

the uproar of theological controversy

tiers IT Is not surprising to find that
a great many people unacquainted

gineer for the city and another repre-
senting the II. c. r. r. have gone over
the land in the past few weeks and
made out specifications, which meet
with the approval Of all parties. The
plan will means the widening of Com
mercial street from the sfoot OF Oak
street on to Bridge street.
By the widening of the street dag
onal parking spaces will be allowed

structed. Those merchants who have

The islanders depend maily upon
the food derived from the crops they
raise themselves, but when the crops
fail serious hardships are cntailed.
This year tho trouble came through
the destruction of the crops by the
