J. S.. Is HELD VICTIM
OF SELF-REPRESSION

NEW YORK, June 7.-America,
a victim of policemen" and political
"quacks" was the picture painted
of this country by John FISHER. presi.
dent Of the Manufacturers. Club, st
the Joint commencement Of the
Pennsylvania Museum and School
OF Industrial Art and the Philadel-
phia Textile School, held last night
at the Manufacturers Club, Broad
and Walnut streets.
The theory of American govern
ment is being reversed" said Mr..
Fisler. II am sure that at the
core, America Is fundamentally
sound; but she is the victim of q
dread disease. How deeply rooted
1t Is I cannot say. Certain things
are undermining the republic.
Every trend Is toward repression
OF self-expression. The very basis
OF our Government is the right
Of and the opportunity for the in
dlvidual to express himself, con-
tribute his personality make his
particular ability felt. All this is
being restrained. We are the VIC
TINS of a sort of police system.
Everywhere police officers are tell
ing us what we must do and what
we must not do. Self-expression is
rapidly lessening."

Greater rigidity, improved APP

Weathering between the frame and

1eatures found in q new steel
basement window.
The factor Of rightly has been
Increased through the use Of case'
mont sections, and through q new
method OF forming jambs and sill
al together in one continuous piece.
The attractiveness Of the new win
dow is made more pronounced
Through the use Of flared section
ut the jamb, which not only serves
- q guide for the mason in laying
MP the outside course Of brick. but
also as q brick mould between sash
and masonry.
Lock Guides Sash.
Double flat contact weathering IL

been made to simplify installation.
The flaring OF the outside guide

In brick construction the anchor.
