After Another for Mr.

Manor's Unusual Record
as Efficient Vacationist
MAYOR SMITH left today on an
other vncation.
That will make almost three
months he has taken in stated va
cations, takinK no nccount of bhort
trips, week-end tests and ong res -denco
in Atlantic City, during which
he only camo to town occasionally.
He also takes much time out for

"one man figured out tho Mayor
has spent moro time on vacations
than the thirteen months he's been
in office. ,. , ,. .
Augusta, Ga.; New York State.
Pike County, Pa.; Atlantic City and
Camden, S. C., are some of the
places ho visited. Florida is the
present objective.
"They Bay tho Mayor's Roln' away on
neither trip." shouted one or air. bmitn.i
subordinates to a colIcaKUo pasilnR down
a corridor on the second floor of City
,1U'I
"Why ho Just got back from one," camo
the rcr-ly.
"Vcs. If likes that." paid the first
speaker. "Ho hopes to lio called back from
this one. Ho likes to rldo Kreat distances
with tho thought that he's rushln' home
because Philadelphia needs him."
"Can you bent It!" ejaculated tho other
party, and went on to do Ills bit at $1000
a year nnd ono vacation.
Th Mnvnr ects J12.000 and spands a
rreat part of his tlmo preparing to no
wav, Boltif? away, Maylnj? away, prepar
InK to return nnd returning.
Somo of tho boys around tho Hall like
to refer to him as tho absent Mayor.
VNLKSS WAIl LOOMS
He has Just announced that today he
leaves for Florida ; that Is. "If tho national
crisis does not become too rerlous. so ns
to make hl3 presence necessary in Phila
delphia " , . ,
Although ho mado effort to prevent his
actual destination nnd tlmo of his de
pnrturo from becoming public this tlmo..
the Mavor It was learned, left tho North
Philadelphia station at 11:23 this morn
lnc. Ono of the City Hall gentry was trying
to ho funny It was nn nntl-Varo man.
"T(K," ho said, "tho Mayor's got to the
point now where ho thinks he's nn Im
portant porson In considering tho Interna
tional relations Such llttlo things ns
finances are a nldo Issue. 'If the national
crisis does not bcomo too serious !' Gosh !
No wonder bo's Just waking up to the wny
he's muddling the-'flnnnces. Who wouldn't
tie behind tho times if bo traveled so
much?"
Porno of the foregoing quotations mav be
lot clown to factional prejudice, but It Is
a facf Mr. Smith has done a bit of
Journeying In tho thirteen months ho has
keen Mayor.
Thero was that first notable trip to Au
rusta, On., nnd Aiken, S. C. for almost two
weeks away hack In last March. That was
some two months after Mr. Smith took
ofUce. and what, with transit worries and
nil It wai then that tho Mayor thought of
scuttling tho Taylor plan bo felt ho needed
It.' He took some excellent company
Freeland Kendrlck. .TImrny Hailett. Kd Vnre
and other Jolly follows and went down
South "where he golfed, rode horseback, had
a visit from Ralph ningham and was other
wise royally entertained. He came back
"much refreshed "
WEEK-END STUFF
That held him for a while. There were,
frequent short trips just week-end (.tuff
that didn't count but the Mayor staved
pretty closi to home until along about tho
middle of July, when he motored up through
Pennsylvania to New Vork State, whero one
of his sons was In a military training camp
This was not a vacation In the strict sense
of tho word : It was simply a "visit" to n
member of tho family nnd. Incidentally, tho
Mayor compared notes with a predecessor
In ofllco by calling on Rudolph Dlankenburg
In the Poconos. Hut It, took almost two
weeks, all the same.
Then tho Mayor camo back and an
nounced that his ofllco took so much time
that he would have to forgo tho pleasure
of a summer vacation. Ho did forgo It.
too, but only for about a minute The
nasty vice mess camo to a bead soon after
because Director Wilson pulled oft that
wholesale raid In tho Tenderloin, nml tho
Mayor got out of range. Ho only went as
far as Atlantic City, and when tho pur
suit of questions got too hot In the hotel
he took n, house In Pacific avenuo down In
Chelsea.
Strictly speaking, this Atlantic City ven
ture was not a vacation. There were only
a few weeks spent at the hotel and the
Mayor was always In touch with his office,
and only n, few months spent at the cottage
In Chelsea and every week tho Mayor came
to his office sometimes several days at
a time.
So If one takes the matter of vacation
strictly by high standard, strictly by stay
ing away from work for a long time, tho
Mayor really had no summer vacation, and
then It In unfair to mention Atlantic City
at all, It Is all a question of standard.
SLUMP IN VACATIONS
By mtd-September. though, tho Mayor
was securely back In Philadelphia again,
and vacations weren't spoken of for quite
some time. There were, It Is true, tho oc
casional one or two day trips away maybe
only as far as tho clubhouse or Reading or
some other nenrby place but not until De
cember was there a real trip. Then Su
perintendent Robinson. Mr. Kendrlck.
Friend Vare and some of tho boys suggested
bit of shooting upstate. The Mayor
thought It would do llm good and, bang I
another two weeks.
Two more months passed. Fatigue the
laws of nature are Inexorable again as
serted Itself, and tho Sunny South camo
to mind. They chose Camden, far down In
south Carolina. While they were down
there golfing, riding, building themselves
