Ought Always He Happy
Tho llev. Itoss If. Stover began his pas

Shore Talrol Man Kirks
To the Editor of the Evening Public T.tdgcf.
Sir Great dissatisfaction Is being ex
pressed by the boys who are transferred from
shore patrol boats to do land duty.
When shore pntrol boats are returned to
tho owners the lads who manned them are
placed under chief petty offleers, who ridicule
the work performed by shore patrol boats.
They also take pleasure In giving them un
pleasant taRks to perform, and If any of the
boys possess a rating they aro the butts of
all kinds of petty malice.
In view of the fact that the majority of
the boys released from shore patrol boatR
ate from well-to-do families, It Is extremely
unpleasant to submit to the coarse tyranny
of ('. p. o, who have only attained their
latlng after many years In the service.
Since the signing of the armistice tho food
Is greatly Inferior and the treatment has
caused many of the boys to assert that If the
necessity again arose they would not be so
eaget to enlist. VICTIM,

The Carelejt Car Driver
To the Ktlltor of the Vvenlna Public Ledger:
Sir What evil spirit dwells In the auto
mobile which diles up the milk ot human
kindness in a man as soon as lie owns one.1
Automobllists are habitually Indifferent to
the safety of the public 'I hey rush their
ars ot top speed up the Walnut street hill
near fortieth street and on Chcltcn avenue,
fiotn Morton to Chew street, in German
town, they show the same kind of disregard
for any one but themselves. It Is unsafe for
children to cross the street on either hill.
Can't something lie done to bring the car
owners to their senses nnd Induce them to
pay a little heed to the rights of others In
the streets of the city? They do not own
the earth, even If they do own a motorcar.
Philadelphia. January 4. A FATHER.
Will Immigration Inrrea-e or Decrease?
To the Kditor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir It Is reallv a hard task to determine,
at thla time, whethei (when the world peace
will be signed) Immigration will be Increased
or will come to an end in this country.
In fact, opinions are divided on this sub
ject, and both sides have strong arguments
to back up their assertions. Some contend
that there aro comparatively few able-bodied
men left In Emopr, and such an amount of
work to be done in rebuilding all that which
was destroyed during the conflict that not
only nil people who are there will stay nt
home, but that even a great many Europeans
who aro In America will return to their
native countries, where they will find work
and comfort.
The other side, however, contends that the
people In Europe are so sick and disgusted
with conditions there, that misery and want
has reached a point never rearhed before In
the world's history, nnd that the burden of
taxes will be so heavy that tho majority of
tho survlvois will flee in desperation from
Europe and will gladly come to America,
which they will regard as a teal haven of
safety.
Although both sides of the question have
their logical points and are qulto possible
to come true, still nothing can be assumed
as a certainty yet. In fact, whether the peo
ple In Europe will like to stay at homo or
will emigrate to this country depends mostly
on the kind of peace concluded. It is sure,
however, that If the peace be only tempor
ary, while all the nations xv ill start again
on their mad race for preparedness as It
was before, the people will then not be able
to bear the tcrrlhlo burden much longer.
Therefore It can bo safely assumed that all
those who will have tho opportunity will
leave their country and will go to nn hospi
table shore America. If Instead of this the
people In Europe will get a repudiation of
all war debts nnd a complete disarmament
both on.land and on sea will prevail, so that
they may devote all their time and energy
to recuperation from the severe losses ot the
war, Immigration to the United States will
virtually come to an end.

To the Editor of the Eienlng Public Ledger:
Sir Everybody does not seem to know

producing animal In the world. A sow la
capable ot producing n ton of fat and meat
every year for a period of live or more years
Exceptionally prolific oiks have a record of
more than tt ton and a half yearly. So every
farmer and stock grower should Increase pro
iluction of pork. The Increase of pigs from
one sow and her female descendants In, live

about 4S0,fl00 pounds of pork In n period of

SAY SOLDIERS WASTE
TRANSPORTATION CASH
Money Spent Seeing East Instead
of Going Home, Authori
ties Declare
Labor authorities are considering the ad
visability of urging the War Department to
give released soldiers and sailors rnllroad
tickets rather than money which Is now
given to pay transportation to their homes.
'I ho problem of stranded soldiers and sail
ors is Increasing with the rapid demobilisa
tion of men At every conference of em
ploy rrs and managers of the pence-lime em
ployment committee the problem has been
Introduced
"Eight out of ten men who have applied
for positions here," declared C K Stokes,
chairman of the eontmlltee for Philadelphia,
"lire men who live In the West iiud vvho
were demobilized In eastern ramps. They
were given money hough to pay their trans
portation home, but they decided to sec the
East first.
They have been taken pretty good rare of
by 1 nclc Sam, and so long as they ate In
uniform they have) a hunch somo kind provl
ilence velll continue, to be good to them till
they are ready to go to work. When they
have blown In all their money they come to
tho employment service fur Jobs. A few of
them tenlly want to remain In the East be
cause they feel Industrial opportunities at
piesent are greater here. But employers aro
Just a little skittish of them because they
feel the men will ntny on tho Job only long
enough to earn enough money to take them
home.
"It presents a variety of problems l.'lrst
of nil, of course, we would prefer to take
earo of our own homo bovs lirst, then help
out the others as best we can. But when
those from foreign Slates make llrt appli
cation and we have Jobs open. It Is up to
us to supply elemands."
The sixteen welfare organizations co-operating
with the I nlted Stales employment
service in obtaining Jobs for returning men
have- their representatives In the various
demobilization tamps, and they are using
moral suasion to get the men to go directly
to their own homes. If this falls and tho
men contlnuo In great numbers to become
stranded In the cities, tho labor authorities
will urge a change of demobilization plans
A psychological reason for the general co
operation of employers In obtaining Jobs for
the men has been Introduced by some of the
leaders of the employment drive
"Thcso soldiers have been for many
months under strict military discipline," ex
plained Harold Stone, national superintend
ent of the bureaus for returning soldiers
and sailors at Washington "They have been
taking orders so long they have lost their
Initiative and thousands of them are In abso
lute need of the most hearty co-operation of
employers In order to readjust themselves to
civilian life. It will take patlenco and
thought on the part of the employers If they
do their part In reconstruction work."
GRATEFUL TO RED CROSS
J-olelier Writes His Appreciation From
Evacuation Hospital
Hlchard V. Pavllk, B424 North Kalrlilll
street, has written fiom Evacuation Hos
pital No. 18, In France, to thank the Ameri
can Bed Cross for Its service to himself nnd
to other Americans overseas. Tho letter fol
low s :
"As a member of the American expedition
ary forces In Trance I want to thank you
most heartily nnd thnnkfully for the good
work that your association has done for us
boys over here. I am not speaking for my
ri If alone, but for alt the boys. When we
were on the lines the Bed Cross was with
us, and wherever we were they were with us.
We had to go through some hard times, but
they stuck to It, and, bcllevo me, whin wo
get back the Bed Cross will have a name
which villi be known the world over. I am
from Philadelphia and am proud to Bay so,
too.
'When we left Camp Greene. North Caro
lina, and went through Philadelphia they
stopped the train and tho Bed Cross ladles
were there waiting to give us something be
fore we came over here On one experience
I was at Courbon and had not had anything
to smoke or nny chocolate, and then the Bed
Cross sent the rest of the men and myself a
lot pf everything we needed.
"Again I want to thank you for your good
work "

STARVATION TOO GOOD
FOR BOCHE, SAYS BMK
Feed Enemy to Save Country fo
Inevitable Payment for Oul-
rages, Pupil Writes j
Starvation Is entirely too good for tier
many, according to fourteen-year-old Theo
dore Seldelman, M: North Lawrence street
a pupil at the Northern Ubeitles School.
In an essay entitled "America's' Answer to)
Starving Kurope," he points out that tlia
famished Teu,tonlc races should be fed Iff
for no other reason than to save tho country
for Us Inevitable payment to outraged
1'ranco and Belgium
The essay follows:
"Now that autocracy has been crushed
there remains yet one very Important prob
lem to solve What should we do with starv
ing Kurope? Should we reply to the stirring
nppeal of the stricken, shell-torn countrlei
of Kurope by sending them inrgoes of food
and clothes, or should we not give ear t
their cries?
"lluglnnd and Italy aie glad to get out
with just enough food left Its people until
the next harvest, while Trance, Belgium,
(ireeco nnd Poland and even our enemies,
should be fed, for they are now at the point
of starvation
"Germany and In r allies should be helped
so that when they are called upon to faca
the consequences and pay for the damage
done to Tram e nnd Belgium they will be abl
to pay. Starvation is too easy punishment
for llermany nnd her allies.
"Yeo, wr will help America, the home 08
the biavo and the free, with her vast farnu.
her army of farmers, her great shipping'
program and the great and noble Bed Crosi
organization", will see that humanity wlna
against fnmlne and that the countries o
Kurope rise once more to tlielr normal stand
ing nmot'g the nations of the world.
"America will not be selfish She will put
her great army of farmers to work. Ships
will bo built, not only to bring back oup
gallant boys, but to carry food across th
tea to thoi.o who have none
"And our Kid Cross In Huropo will sea
that the food Is equally distributed to cyeryr
country in Curope, no matter of what re
ligion nr n.ttlonalltv the Inhabitants are,
until tlie next harvest comes around and
they are able to feed themselves.
'.Vow, It Is up to every man, woman and
child in America to back up President Wil
son and Herbert Hoover and make good his
Pledge Pray to (Jod to give you mora
strength and more ways In which to help
the poor, unfortunate people of Kurope.
"Autocracy hns been crushed now crush
famine."
