"Castle in the Air"
Hli Vernon Cnslle Is going to war.
The news came like a bombshell among
the Philadelphia dancers totlny. Why he
should desert the ballroom and the con
servatory for the unromantlc trenches
was more thnn they could figure.
And with him thoy fear will go the
popularity of the dizzy dances which have
held sway here for many moons. Hut Mr.
Castle, true lo his terplschorean Instincts,
will not remain tin the ground. He Is
going to lly as a member of a Trench
aeroplane licet.
Hefoic leaving for California today the
agile king of the halltooin said somewhat
facetiously, "it will be o case of Castle
In tho air." He discarded his dtcollctto
diaphanous shirt and poetic cravat and
declared that he was preparing for tlm
front.
l-'or n month lie wlli iclieursc over liio

confidentially Mint he would lly for the

ing. The program was opened with a
parade that started from the corner of
the market at 12th and Filbert streets.
About 150 men were In line, Including
merchants and their employes. All were

Porker Stops Traffic and Is Killed on
Germantown Avenue
A pig which strayed from a drove,
being driven to an abattoir early today,
tied up traftlo on Oermantown avenue
when It ran beneath a north-bound Chest
nut Hill trolley car, which had passed
Hunting Par!; avenue.
The car was stopped quickly, and loud
squeals from the porker ga.ve evidence
that It was alive. Thinking to frighten
the animal from Its hiding place, the mo.
torman started the car slowjy, but the pig
suddenly became despondent and rushed
directly in front of the rear trucks of
the car. Four feet ot creased pig aro
to be seen on the rails at the point where.
the accident occurred.

tle. MEN OF PHILADELPHIA
DISCARD $30,000 WORTH
OF HATS EVERY WEEK
Where the Material Goes Is a
Problem, but the Best Guess
Sends It to the
Dump Heap
10,000 SPURNED SKYPIECES
What becomes of nil tho men's cast oft
hats? As well nsk what becomes of the
material when you get 11 hole In your
stocking. No one seems to know dotl
nltely, not even tho men who sell hats,
thoy suppose they go to tho dump heap.
Tho men of Philadelphia cast off on an
average about 10,e00 hats of every kind
each week.
These Include hard and soft feltss. silk
hats, straws of every kind, Including
Panamas.
And for these 10.000 hats tho men ot
Philadelphia pay about M.PO0 each week,
equnl tn more than one and a half mil
lion dollars a year.
This takes no account ot caps and other
substitutes for hats, which would make a
very material Increase lo these figures.
And Mils npproxlmnte ot $3 for each hat
gives no Idea of how extravagant a man
can be In selecting his own milliner).
There nro men who order specially mndw
Panamas, as many as half a dozen nt a
time, 10 cost JUiO each.
It Is hardly necessary to add that the
particular parties referred to nre making
munitions ami things for the Allies. Home
of the rest of us who uro not, can get a
modest straw for V, cents, and from that
up. Very good Panamas can be bad, wo
are assured, for $75, and some as low
as il.
When It comes to soft felt hats, JiO
will buy the beat, and for hard felt, $?,
while $10 will secure the best French Im
ported silk high hat.
When a woman buys a new hat sho has
It sent home In an elaborate box covered
with roses like the old-fashioned chintz
or wall paper patterns. It gives it n
Parisian utmosphcre, even If the creation
never sttw Paris; but when a man buys
a new hat he usually tells the hatter to
"chuck" the old one.
Sometimes, very seldom, he has it
sent home. Intending to give It to the
man who cut3 the lawn and takes out
the ashes, and then he forgets all about
It, and his wife gives it to the rubbish,
man or the Salvation Army man at the
first call.
As for the "cast offs" that are
"chucked" by the hatter, the second
hand man comes around and takes them
away. He refurbishes the ones worth
while and sells them at any price, the
others nre stripped of the bands and
bindings and leather sweatbunds for the
rag bag and the remainder goes to the
dump.

spread of the houses used as tenements
Is duo to poorly planned transit systems.
Tho people, he points out, will live and
build along transportation lines, but
where they arc Inconvenienced In going
to and from their places of employment,
they naturally crowd around their places
of business and this results In the tene
ment. The mass operations, Mr. Newman says,
have made Philadelphia tho "City of
Homes" and tnke nwny the tenements
from the heart of the city, "but If we
did not have rapid transit development
we would force tenement building In the
heart of the city." The high-speed trnn
slt system advocated by Director A. Mer
ritt Taylor, he declares, would prevent
tho encroachment of buildings of the tene
ment type.
"Trnnxlt development. If properly
planned, Instead of spreading, will reduce
the tenement peril. If we did not have
transit development we would force tene
ment building In the henrt ot the city."
Sir. Newman continued.
"It Is conceivable that n poorly planned
transit system would develop tenements
as lias been shown In other cities, but
the compiehenslve system as outlined by
t'lreetor Taylor. If It becomes a icallty.
ought to help to prevent the encroach
ment of buildings of the tenement type.

munity to keep In mind that public Im
provements of nny character should be
so planned that they will not unduly
raise land values, as this would work
against the mass operations of small
houses which has made Philadelphia the
city of homes."
Mr. Newman's statement was the re
sult of a tour of Inspection yesterday
for social service students through model
dwellings In various parts of the city.
The students were from tho Philadelphia
School for Social Service and tho School
for Training Public Health Nurses of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Members of the Philadelphia Housing
Commission pointed out to the students
that Philadelphia was a city of small
homes because lnnd was cheap nnd be
cause of the transportation facilities of
fered as against those In other cities.
H was pointed out that where land
could bo bought for JI5.CO0 or J20.000 It was
possible to build these small houses
which command but a modest rent, but
that when tho lnnd values Increase the
Investor refuses to build nnd often tetm
ments nre substituted. Where tho tran
sit systems are planned so as not to In
crease the land values, It was said, the
building of small houses continues un
interruptedly and this tenements, for the
moat part, are eliminated.
