TAILOR ROBBED Several Robberies oz Merchandise Reported Because he decided to work all night so his customers might have new suits for Easter, Nathan Greenberg, 45, a tailor at Seventeenth and Dauphin streets, fell an easy victim to thieves early yesterday. Three intruders attacked Greenberg while he was alone in his shop and took $35. While the tailor lay on the floor the thieves took fifteen suits and ten dresses and fled in a motor car.

With their booty, valued at more than $300, the thieves sped away as Greenberg staggered to the door and fired after them. The shots aroused neighborhood and telephone calls brought police. Search neighborhood failed. After hurling a brick through the window of S. Allman's tailor shop, at Eleventh and Fitzwater streets, thieves cleaned out a display of clothing and ten bolts of cloth valued at $150.

Stein was missed Friday night at 10 o'clock. Police of the Eighth and Jefferson streets station were notified, but no trace of her was found. Mrs. Greenberg said the patient's memory is very poor, which prevented her from giving an adequate account. af her wanderings.

SCENES AT CAMDEN SHIP LAUNCHING VISIT INQUIRER MODEL HOME IN WEST OAK LANE RED SEAL PUTS ITS O. K. ON MODEL HOME Certificate of Electrical Association Indicates Electrical Standards Met Does Not Interfere With Individual Taste of Owners and Builders Red Seal wiring is a guarantee of electric values. It shows that a place has been rigged up according to the rules laid down by electrical experts. It is a certification of electric excellence.

The Inquirer Model Home at 1905 Ashley road, West Oak Lane, has been provided with Red Seal wiring. Recognized authority has thus offered a standard of value. It has lifted the question adequate wiring out of the field of misunderstanding. It has increased the value of the house. The Red Seal puts all doubt to one side.

It demonstrates that a house is in this respect modern and guarantees to every housewife that the and convenient use of modern elechouse is fully equipped for the easy tric lighting and service. This is one of the boons brought to the modern householder by The Electrical Association of Philadelphia. The standard of wiring set by the association is a practical standard which will permit the owner of a residence to have reasonable modern electrical service provided for during construction at an outlay wiring which bears a proper relation to the cost of the building. Inspection Is Thorough takes every part of the house into consideration, but is still a minimum standard and leaves plenty of latitude to owners and builders to exercise their individual taste. This Red Seal wiring certificate 1s SO valuable that it should be kept with the titles to the property.

The Electrical Association will grant such certificate to any house which, after inspection, is found to conform to Red Seal specifications. Before Red Seal and certificate will be issued, opportunity must be given for the inspection of the installation by the association representative. In the case of The Inquirer Model Home all this has been attended to. The inspection by the association representative is made to check wiring in accordance with the Red Seal standards, as has been said, and must not any way be confused with the regular inspection by the electrical authorities having jurisdiction. Be sure of one thing- -The Inquirer Model Home has not been neglected in any particular.

Experts in every department -wiring, furnishing, construction-have given their special attention to this model home, because it is understood by all concerned to be a show place, under constant critical examination. TO WEATHERSTRIP HOUSE IS TO STOP FUEL WASTE: Interesting Experiment May Be Tried at This Time of Year There are still a few days -perhaps during which we must continue to dwell the near-Arctic regions. No one knows what a dismal cold day it can be in April. For the "big fire" may be out. The little portable oil, or gas or electric burner may be all that we have left to subdue the chill.

The modern householder is forehanded and foresighted. He looks ahead I to next winter and prepares for it while the memory of a winter just passed is still strong. In most cases, it is found that a little attention paid to the weatherstripping of a house would make that house a good deal more comfortable. Right at this time, when the weather strips can be put in without having one's hands and fingers frostbitten, it might be a good idea, for anyone curious to know the difference, to try out the weather strips on, say, one section of the house. Rig up some weatherstripped doors and windows and notice the vast change that comes over that particular part of the house.

There is a great deal of fuel wasted. The weather strip scientifically constructed, permanently sealing the crack regardless of shrinkage or swelling of woodwork, can save 8 good deal of money. It enables one to control the heat. When the warm weather comes and screens are used these weatherstripped doors and windows will cause no trouble are made to reduce labor, not increase it. The facts of the case may be gleaned from an interesting folder which any one may obtain by writing to The Inquirer Model Home Information Department.

Make up your mind to stop heat loss and refer, in your inquiry, to "heat loss." Weatherstripping is too long a word. DEFECTS HAVE NO PLACE IN ANY INQUIRER HOUSE From Basement to Roof the Model Home in West Oak Lane Is Scientifically Equipped; Boiler Is Most Modern and So Are Radiator Inclosures One of the prime exhibits in the basement The Inquirer Model Home in Oak Lane is the WeilMcLain boiler. This is a most effective apparatus for distributing heat and is attracting much attention. The best way to appreciate what a good boiler means is to take a survey of what a boiler should not do. It should not overheat the water, for one thing.

A normal heating is what is required. In the case of defective systems, the water will sometimes be scalding hot. The gushing forth of hot water with force that frightens the housemaid is not desirable. It indicates that a good job has not been done. There has been a slip-up and the result is dismay.

If not dismay, then a poignant disappointment. Whatever it is, why permit it? There is a way out. Tried and True So it is with every household device to be found at The Inquirer Model Home, 1905 Ashley road, near Nineteenth street and City line. A most instructive half-hour may be spent in this home, checking up each article. After discovering how well it operates--in a word, how well it does HOW TO TREAT BOARDED WALL BEFORE PAPERING Canvas Is Carefully Measured and Sewn Together to Form One Piece The current method of covering a wall with paperhangers' canvas is to carefully take the measurement of the surface and have the canvas sewn together to form one piece, with an inch or so to spare all around.

The seams should be at least half an inch wide and be pressed flat with a hot iron, then hung against the wall so that the outer face of the canvas is perfectly smooth. Commence fixing the canvas by turning in at least an inch along the top and tack it securely, then turn in the bottom edge and tack that, starting in the centre and working towards the sides, stretching as you go, but do not stretch too tight. Then turn in at one side and tack down the angle and finally turn in the opposite side and tack that, taking care to stretch out any wrinkles. Use a double row of tacks placed zig-zag, and on large flanks put one row of tacks right down the centre of the to help carry the weight. canvas all the tacking is finished go over the canvas starting at the top, with clean water and wet it well in.

Then go round the edges, say, two inches in width, with some strong paste, and as this sets, press down edge of the canvas to a smooth the surface. When the canvas and the paste are dry, the surface should be lined, and this is best done with a thin lining paper, lapped butt at the joint joints. It is imposible to the when hanging direct upon canvas. If there is any objection to the lapped Joint showing, you can overcome it by pasting the lining paper within an inch of the edge, then hang it with a two-inch lap, and when the paper is quite dry, tear off the inch of edging which has not stuck down. This will leave a bevelled lap that will not show through the wallpaper.

Lap the lining paper in the angles and at all weak points. Finally, hang the paper in the usual way. Polar Summers Cooler homes in summer are forecast by recent reports from heating research laboratories. Homes of the future, we are told, will be cooled by air just as many are now warmed by air in winter. During the summer the same small electric motor that operates your oil burner will, if the predictions are verified, blow cooling air through the house.

heating plant is shut a Wheror the summer, the cooling plant will go operation. No longer will the room thermostats enjoy a six- month vacation every year. They will keep the house automatically cool in summer, exactly as they now keep it warm in winter, requiring no more attention once they are adjusted to the desired level."

STREET WIDENING WORK NEAR BRIDGE TO BEGIN Alterations to Borders of Franklin Square Await Revised Plans The work of widening those portions of Race and Vine streets bordering Franklin Square will begin immediately on receipt of the revised plans from the Bureau of Engineering and Surveys, it was announced yesterday by Dudley T. Corning, chief of the Bureau of Highways. The increase in width, between Sixth and Seventh streets, would be accomplished by shaving from fourteen to eighteen feet from the sidewalks on the north and south side of the square, so that better approaches can be had for the Delaware River Bridge.

Authorized by City Council several months ago, the work has been held up while the Department of Public Works and Eli Kirk Price, vice chairof the Fairmount Park Commission, made some changes in the plans originally submitted by city en-, gineers. "I understand," Corning said, "the revised plans are completed. As soon as they are received, we will advertiss for bids." The estimated cast of about $25,000 will be met by the Delaware River Bridge Joint Commission. BERLIN GIVES DETAILS OF 'POCKET BATTLESHIP' Ship as Effective as Earlier War Craft Twice as Big BERLIN, April 4 (A. Some construction details of Germany's new "pocket battleship which has been the subject of widespread speculation, were published today.

Her steel plates are welded to save deadweight and permit installation of heavier armament. Considerable quantities of light metal were used for interior construction. Her Diesel machinery, the biggest plant of its kind in the world, has developed 50,000 horsepower, and its total weight amounts to only eight kilograms per horsepower, compared with fifty kilograms in Diesel motors in use up to 1918. She is equipped with defensive gear which, it is asserted, will permit her to pass any mine barrier without risk. The nature of this device is a close secret.

Her radius of action is given as 10,000 miles and her speed, six miles an hour. Under the restrictions of the Versailles treaty German engineers had to build into this 10,000 ton ship the strength of la vessel twice as big. OBITUARY DR. HAROLD E. BEMIS Dean of School of Veterinary Medicine, U.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.

April 4. -Victor Richards. familiarly known as "Vic," the grand old man of minstrelsy, died in the city hospital at 11.30 this morning from a cerebral hemorrhage, following a second stroke of paralysis during the past three months. He was 72. Richards was first taken ill in December and against the advice of his physician took part in a charity benefit performance in Ocean City, conducted under the auspices the Federated Welfare Committee of that city.

Despite the remonstrances of the committee arranging the show, Should Take Precedence Over Spring Decorating for Obvious Reasons its job -try to think of the opposite situation. When these modern or socalled modern devices fall down, there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. The wise householder is the one with enough experience to beware of defects, no matter what they may be. And this, cautious person is the one whom Inquirer Model Home is intended to please. The effective working of the boiler in the basement may be taken as a criterion of model home equipment generally.

Enclosed Radiators One distinctive feature of the furnishing of this house is the manner in which the radiators are enclosed. Winter or summer, radiator covering adds to the beauty of the home. No matter how ornamental the radiator tubes, there appears to be something raw about the something that needs finishing. But here again the question comes up: How are they covered? Is the heat given a chance? As in the case of everything about this model home, scientific principles apply. The radiator enclosures have been constructed with a view creasing the efficiency of the radiators.

SPRING ACTIVITY WILL REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT Homeowners of Nation Can Do Much to Bring About Healthy Business This Year No matter where a young man's fancy lightly turns in spring, the thoughts of his elders remain right at home. There are roofs to be repaired, lawns to be seeded, floors to be painted, cellars to be modernized. This year the usual volume of spring repairs will doubtless be greatly increased by the co-operation of home owners in the Nation-wide movement to provide work by modernizing homes. Employment, like charity, should begin at home. If every homeowner will provide someone with a few days' work around the house, the rate of business revival will rapidly increase.

Home renovation usually begins in the basement. Every spring in thousands of homes the antiquated furnace is given its honorable discharge, and in its place is installed a new automatic heating plant that will be ready in the fall to begin its career of service. The growing popularity of March and April for heating repairs and renovations is shown by statistics. During the summer the new heating system can be broken in by using it to supply hot water for showers and for other purposes. Put Whole Dinner In Oven If you will plan your meals as fully as a business man plans a day's work, you will marvel at the saving in time and fuel.

If properly thought out, an entire dinner can be placed ta the oven at one time, thus simplifying the work around the stove and, of course, permitting a saving in gas. With the advent of spring, many homeowners are turning their attention to improvements and additions which will increase the convenience and add to the appearance of the house they live in. Not all houses have adequate bathroom facilities -many should have two baths instead of one. Many houses have old and out-of-date kitchen sinks that make dishwashing difficult and that add to the burden of housework because they are hard to keep clean. Whatever changes are to be made in the household plumbing should be made before the spring decorating is done.

Too often the housewife thinks of replacing the plumbing after the walls are newly decorated and the antiquity of the plumbing is made evident. Spring is an ideal time for modernizing plumbing, and the spring of 1931 is an especially favorable time. Material prices are low and there is plenty of labor. Moreover, labor is very efficient and appreciative of the opportunity to work. Consequently the installation of an extra bathroom, a downstairs lavatory, or 8 new kitchen sink is possible today at a very low price.

Many plumbing contractors are able to handle this work with a small-down payment with the balance spread over a period of twelve or eighteen months. EXPORT LINE STEAMSHIP IS LAUNCHED IN CAMDEN Exeter Leaves Ways in Presence of Guests From Three States In presence of guests from New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the steamer Exeter, third of four vessels being built for the American Export Line, was launched yesterday afternoon at the New York Shipbuilding Company yards in Camden. The craft, about 80 per cent. completed, will be ready to join its two sister vessels, the Excalibur and Exochorda, on their regular New YorkMediterranean run by the end of spring. The last steamer under the contract, the Excambion, is still on the ways and will be launched within two months.

The Exeter is a 9300 gross ton passenger and freight vessel, with a cruising speed of approximately 16.5 knots an hour. Miss Olivia Frick, daughter of H. E. Frick, vice president and general manager of the American Export Line, sponsored the vessel. Others present Mr.

Frick, Jefferson Myers, commissioner of the United States Shipping Board; Henry Herberman, president of the American Export Line; R. C. Morse, assistant general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and C. L. Bardo, president of the New York Shipbuilding Company.

The christening party came here from New York, yesterday morning, following lunch at the Belle-Stratford, went to Camden for the ceremony. The four steamers, designed by George G. Sharp, of New York, have several new departures in the design of passenger quarters. BOY OF 8 IDENTIFIES ALLEGED ACID THROWER Man Charged With Hurling Fluid at Girls Working in Knitting Mill Identified by an eight-year-old boy as the man who hurled acid through an open window of the Colonial Knitting Mills, and Clearfleld streets, burning five women last Thursday, John Delaney, 23, of Thayer street near Second, was held in $2500 bail for court, when arraigned yesterday before Magistrate Costello at the Front and Westmoreland streets station. Two other men, charged with carrying concealed weapons and threatening a hosiery mill strike picket, were held in $1000 bail each.

They are Patrick Coyle, 23, of Sixty-sixth street near Lebanon avenue, and John Oplak, 23, Belgrade street near Westmoreland. Charges against them were brought by Leonard Baehr, 23, of 2326 North Sixth street, and William Brown, 23, of the same address. They said they were stopped by the two men Friday night at Kensington avenue and Tioga street, where they began a fight. Detectives Wykowski and Flanagan testified that the girls who had been burned by the acid were afraid to appear against Delaney. Their clothing was ruined by the acid, and hosiery valued at $750 was destroyed.

Delaney's conduct was branded as contemptible by Magistrate Costello. Eight men who had been arrested at Kensington and Allegheny avenue on suspicion, following the acid-throwing, were discharged yesterday. While the occupants of the house were away, fifty-five gallons of liquor, champagne and wine valued at $1000 were seized early yesterday morning by Captain Brennan, of the Sixtyfifth street and Woodland avenue police station, in a raid on a home on Beaumont street near Fifty-sixth. Captain Brennan said the warrant on which the raid was made was obtained after evidence of liquor in the house had been obtained by "sniffing and snooping" about the place for several days. Following the seizure of several pints of champagne in a hotel on Girard avenue near Sixteenth street, Mrs.

Mary Ferguson, 55, was arrested as the proprietor, and her son, Gordon Ferguson, 30, as the manager. Nine negroes were arrested and a quantity of alleged alcohol seized in a raid yesterday morning at 1 o'clock suspected gambling house on Forty -sixth street near Haverford avenue.
