Ttvo Weddings to Take Place in Lent Groome-Teague and
Crane-Putnam Alliances Haver ford Boys to Play in
Germantown Mother and the Goldfish
WAVD you noticed that thero are to bo T
'- sovcral rashlonamo. wcuuings u. w.
thla year? Last year thero wero several
because, of war times, and some of those
reasons still hold this year, and the men
aro connected with tho service If not
actually In tho service and are taking tho
only time they can get off to bo married.
Not that thero aro not to bo Easter wed.
dings, too; oh, yes. But I have noted two
Lenten ones, and they aro riot usual In
society as a rule, aro they? There's Jack
Groomo and Gladys Tcaguo, you know.
That's another wedding that camo about
through sending our soldiers down to AU
gusta to train. Down thoro Jack met
Gladys and every one knew It was as
good as an engagement, before the boys
sailed for France, oven If-they did not an
nounco it until Jack came back and 'fixed
it all up. He was "transferred to the M. P.
M. shortly before he returned home, you re-
member. The ilrst tlmo I saw Jac auer
his return was at tho Charity Ball, when
every one was nearly having a lit to havo
a real honcstto-goodness mc.mber of the
old City Troop homo from the war.
They tell mo. that Miss Teague Is very
.pretty and yery southern. The wedding Is
scheduled for April 5, the Saturday beforo
Passion Sunday, and will take place in Au
gusta In the Church of tho Good Shepherd.
I don't know much about the attendants
as yet, except that Tom Cadwalader will
bo best man. ' ,
THEN on tho Saturday before, the evo of
Ml-carcme, or mldlent, March 29, Kath
erlno Putnam Is to marry William Crano
at tho Church of tho Epiphany here. That's
going to be a very pretty wedding, too;
quite a large number of attendants. Lois
Jackson Is going to be maid of honor, and
Mrs. George Montgomery, a sister of Bill
Crane's; Marrietta Doolittle. Lois Kellogg,
of Utlca; Mary Sanger, of Washington, and
Lenoro McCall and 'Mary Supplce aro to be
bridesmaids.
Katherlne is a cousin of Helen Tower
Robertson, who, you remember, was mar
ried hero in December In Holy Trinity
Church. The Towers have been spending
a lot of time down in Atlantic City this
season, coming up now and again to stop
at tho Bellevue.
THE Haverfofd Musical Clubs are going
to give their concert and dance tonight
out at Manhelm. It's to bo quite an affair,
I hear, and a lot of Germantown people are
going. Tho- concert was so good last year
that a great many people will go Just for
that. There's to be one of those "ridiculous"
dances again, like tho Hawaiian one they
' did last year. Tho hostesses for the eve
ning are Mrs. Frederick Strawbridge, Mrs.
Ernest Toogood, Mrs. Samuel Tatnall, Mrs.
John B. Mcllhenny, Jr., Mrs. Russell Rob
inson, Mrs. C. Ardley Shcdaker and Mrs.
Lawrence Mellor. Mrs. Toogood Is going to
havo tho members of the musical clubs as
her guests at dinner beforehand.
THERE'S a wedding that's going to take
place just after Easter. The engage
ment was announced some time ago, while
"the war was still on, and tho girl is awfully
attractive. The man I do not know, but I
hoar lots of nice things about him. He
is a New Englander and has a great many
friends here. I have not heard of the
exact date of the marriage yet, but I'll tell
you as soon a3 I do hear.
DID I tell you about Mother and the
goldfish? Well, you see In December,
when it became a little cool. Mother con
tracted, a bad cold, and so Father bundled
her off' to Florida with Betty and Mary
and they did not come back until the end
of last month. Just about a month before
they went away Mother, who ,is very fond
of pets, had bought some goldfish, and It
was her delight to watch them. And every
morning and evening they would como
tewlmmlng up to the top of the bowl search
ing for the food which she scattered on the
water's surface for them. While Mother
and the daughters were away the little fish
all died, but Father was not to be con--tiuered
by that, and so. the day beforo the
family's return lie hied him downtown, and
bought a whole new set of fish.
Well, Mother liad scarcely been home
moro than an hour before she wanted to
see her dear little flahles. Upstairs they
"all trooped and Mother gazed lovingly at
the fish, and as the glinting Uttlo things
swam up to the top she smiled tendarly,
.and turning to Father murmured, "See,
seo; they know mo, dear."

Amount Would Only-Cover Press
ing Demands, Asserts School
Superintendent
According to Dr. John P. Garter, super
intendent of schools, the Board of Education
needs $500,000 immediately for painting and
ordinary repairs, of the 'public schools. The
need of putting certain schools In tho city
Into anything like a proper state, he said
yesterday, was very great, and If tho Scott
bill, which would .increase the tax, passes
he thought tho board would be In a position
to start somo of tho work before tho end of
the year.
"The survey is being made and urgent
cases will receive attention as soon as funds
are available." he said. "The law prohibits
tho Board of Education to go beyond Its In
come In expenditures and It Is not allowed to
contract for new school buildings without
having the money in hand or available by
the time payments must be maue.
"In my opinion, the Board of Education
nnirdoiia well with the funds since It has had
control. We are educating our boys and girls
at a little over an average expense of 40 a
year. An equally good education In a prl
vato school would cost $200 a year."
Prominent teachers throughout the state
who have been watching school legislation
at Harrlsburg havo decided to push tho
Woodruff bill providing for Increased sal
aries rather than tho Weaver bill, to which
the administration la opposed. The latter
measure provides for an appropriation of
J10.000.000 to give the teachers an increase
of 25 per cent Governor Sproul has said
he considered the proposition of a 25 per cent
Increase as Impracticable. The Woodruff
bill appropriates from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000
a year for salary increases.
Efforts will bo mado to havo the Wood
ruff bill reported to tho Houso by the Com
mittee on Education next week. It may not
pass as written, but will bo the basis of legis
lation providing for increased salaries for
teachers.
PLAN FREE SUPPLIES
FOR TEXTILE STRIKERS
Woman's Trade Union League
Solicits Financial Aid
for 6000 Workers
A free commissary store for the assistance
of textile strikers in Kensington la being
planned by the Philadelphia Women's Trade
Union League.
Miss Frieda Miller, secretary, and Miss
Pauline Newman, organizer, of the league
in this city, said today that they would seek
pledges of financial support from wealthy
women of Philadelphia, who have Interested
themselves in the cause of the Btrlkers.
"So far," said Miss Nowman, "tho strikers
have been able to get along unaided. In
the event that they need help, however, we
are preparing to open a store in Kensington
whero those who are short of funds can get
groceries and other necessaries of life free.
"On two previous occasions, in New York
and in Chicago, the local organizations of
the Women's Trade Union League rendered
this assistance to strikers. It was a help
appreciated, as it gave them courage to con
tinue their fight.
"The strikers are fighting for principles
which we consider just, and wo want them
to be able to go on."
Miss Newman has been keeping In touch
with the situation in Kensington. There are,
at present, she saya, about 0000 men and
omen of tarloua textile trades out on strike.
Some of the strikers, in tho stocking indus
try, have been out since January. They are
seeking an increase in wages. Others went
out, or were locked out, when the textile
workers enforced their country-wide demand
for a forty-cight-hour week.

MARINERS' CHURCH PLANS
TO ENLARGE ACTIVITIES
New Hotel Proposed Will Not Af
fect Old Organization, ,
Leader Declares
With its centennial celebration only a few
months oft the Mariners' Church and tho
Seamen's and Landsmen's Aid Society, 332
South Front street, will remain open In the
future and expect to do more work than
ever before, according to Howard Preston
McHenry, pastor of the church and super
intendent of the society.
Reports that the organization intended
closing Its doors got abroad recently when
it was announced that a new mariners' hotel
would be built to look after sailors in Phila
delphia. "Such a hotel Is needed," Bald Mr. Mc
Henry, "and we welcomo it here. .But it in
no way touches on the work that Is being
done either by the Mariners' Church or the
Seamen's and Landsmen's Aid Society. Our
work Is peculiarly the moral uplift of the
sailor. We also furnish him with help in
time of distress. ' Our headquarters is
equipped with writing paper, books and
games and gives to the sailor who Is visiting
Philadelphia a place where he can spend
hlo hours.
"The boarding houses for sailors which
may be opened cannot supplant this institu
tion. That is why we aro looking frfrward
to many more yeara of usefulness."

Sir On today's editorial page you have
a good article on "Tho Brain of Man Is tho
Greatest Machine Yet." Good for you to
write upon such machinery as you do, and
praise the machinist also, but did you once
think of the great work of tho "pattern
maker" who accomplished some of the hid
den work in those great castings by cores,
work which the machinist never dreams of
Beeing, and is far from view of the persons
who look upon those great inventions? If

is and of the brain work he must do.

Thanks !
To Me. Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir All winter J. have been intending to
write to you the appreciation of myself and
somo of my trienda of the very excellent
musical criticisms which have been appearing
in your paper. However, I have put it off
until now. when my admiration of the criti
cism of the concert of the Philadelphia Or
chestra In last Saturday's paper must find
expression. I think It tho best pleco of
musical crltidism I have ever seen.
The article In question condemned the
Ornsteln compositions very severely and as
it seems to me, deservedly so, but the point
I make is that there was a definite and co
herent reason given for the condemnation,
something that no other musio critic in this
city has ever before attempted, at least to
my knowledge.
I wish also to express to you my apprecia
tion of the very readable and lnfunnatory
musical articles which you have been pub
lishing in your paper each Saturday after
noon. They are the firat thing that I read
in the Saturday paper, and I find that I am
not alone In this. I have kept a copy of
each of them. WLSON,

Thinks Negro UnjuBlly Accused
To the Editor of the Evening Publio Ledger:
Sir Your readers may call to mind t,he
recent Incident of tho man with "black face,
mustache and white ears," who stole the
Ginsberg car, driving off with It while Rosy
nnd Sara Ginsberg were asleep under a robe
in the back of the car. The affair is of moro
than passing Interest to members of the
Armstrong Association, which desires that
the colored people of the city shall be granted
folr play. Evidently the car thief tried to
hide his Identity with burnt cork, and forgot
to include his cars in the smudge ; hence tho
discovery that he was of the white race.
Now the Jirobablllty Is that this Is not nn
unusual practice of the law-breaking fra
ternity, nnd, therefore, the negroes are very
often given a raw deal. If the reporters,
when they record the alleged transgressions
of negroeB, would either be sere that the
suspected one actually Is a negro, and not a
make-believe, or not mention any race at
all, the ends of Justice and fair play would
be met. I am convinced that some of the
prejudice i that exists against colored people
Is created and maintained by the custom of
reporters ascribing alleged 'crimes to persons
of the colored race, sometimes when they
only surmise that a negro Is Involved.

Teachers' Salaries Delayed
To the Editor of the Evening PuMlo Ledger:
sir in the morning papers an employe of
the Board of Education asks the .teachers to
tell him how to perform his duties, or rather
the duties he Is paid to perform. Well, he
thinks he knows how to run theischools so
we will help him out on this. Teachers are
supposed to be able to do anything.
Long ago this same complaint was made,
the same reply given and the teachers got
busy and requested Information from the
then Mayor's clerk as to how the policemen
are paid on the first of the month or
earlier.
The Mayor's clerk gave the teachers' com-
4 mtttee full particulars of the system used by
his office.
That Information wao given to the clerks
In the ottice of the Board of Education, but
they will not use. It. If they will use the
Information given them once the teachers wl'l
not m&o complain of tardy payment,
Larmritmas Eve tho teachers' salary
I chlf 0iStho desk In tha" office but tho
,
not htSStto complain of tardy payment.
teachers were mado to wait until January
for their December pay. Those getting the
highest salaries were paid bn Christmas Eve,
but those with small salary and needing it
the moat had to wait.
Teachers who belong to building societies
that meet early In the month aro penalized
for tho delay of theso clerks who want us to
show them what wo have shown them once.
Further, an actuary declares tho Teachers'
Pension Fund to be In a condition bordering
on bankruptcy, and 80 per cent of tho teach
ers havo voted to merge with the state as
they were asked to do, but the clerks of tho
board still continue to deduct from our
meager salaries beforo they are paid to us
1 or 2 per cent to bo paid to this bankrupt
pension fund that an actuary tells us can
not pay us anything back.
We do not need professional agitators, we
aro already agitated enough.
Dp you know that last month In this city
there were several classes of children who
received 119 worth of teaching? That is all
the teacher was paid for teaching forty,
fifty or more children a wholo month.
Teachers are trying to qualify for other
positions whero they may ask fair treat
ment, SQUARE DEAL.

Punish the Warmakers
To (Vie Editor of the Evening Publio Ledger:
Sir If world-detested German war lords
and would-be world rulers can commit thirty
one crimes against humanity In one war,
how many new horrors, with this wonderful
I experience, are they now planning and can
V1 I'M,,. iU, IU1U1U UDU ,11 bllVll 11LO WUllt
of warring? How much reparation and In
demnity will they pay? Hae theso leopards
changed their spots ana do they control the
situation? Of dupes, pawns, German cannon
fodder, many are dead and others still de
ceived. How many of German hordes would
ever havo pillaged, raped, burned, desecrated
Belgium had It not been for these war In
flamers and world-ruling planners?
The better German element have homes
and wives and children whom they left as
reluctantly as our men who wero forced to
protect their own firesides. They were fooled ;
deceived more thoroughly than England and
France were deceived, which says much.
And all the same parties will bo again de
ceived in other new ways by the same
parties.
Do tho latter deserve punishment and Is
the world safe from world war or safe for
democracy while the ringleaders run at
large? Is thero more desirable and neces
sary work for any tribunal of Justice, any
league of nations, than to bring to bay said
military war-leading parties? Is it Imprac
ticable and Impossible for such a tribunal of
Justice or league of nations to name the
crimes and the chlefest criminals and keep
going nftcr them till they get them, at least
somo of them, for both German and world
benefit?
Man-power, resources and markets of Rus
sia and central Europe in the hands of these
plotters make an enormously expensive police
force ludicrously Ineffective In comparison to
Immediate punishment of the ringleaders.
Taking away the arms of German soldiers
is futile.
In the matter of highwaymen and thug
gery long-term sentences deter others from
thinking the gamo profitable.
Ringleader punishment by a league of
nations la the only sensible, secure measure
tor future safety. Seven and one-half mil
lion deaths and $200,090,000,000 war debts
are part of their crimes against civilization.
Let these leaders and chlefest culprits live
and travel amuck with new and original
methods of deceit nnd propaganda, and soon,
very soon, the world will have to deal with
an army of their dupes and hirelings In
fighting and killing instead of domestic
peace and the pursuit of happiness for all
peoples Which it is axiomatio all people
desire.
German agents talk peace and spread
Bolshevist propaganda that the war was a
capitalist war; land belongs to the peasant;
to take It and kill rightful owners' means
bread for everybody.
To save civilization let a league of nations,
with Foch as generalissimo, name and gat
the ringleaders of the war with tabulated
crimes, seek them and ultimately punish
them.
To preserve tho world from universal Bol
shevism let Foch, at the head of a league
of nations, get the ringleaders and feed and
teach the dupes. For what other better pur
pose can there bo a tribunal of Justice or
league of nations than to catch and punish
the most guilty parties, the ringleaders?
Past Justice deserves and owes it; pres
ent safety commends It, and future eecurlty
demands it
Order at home, and food and German In
demnity money, a stable Germany and stable
Russia will soon and Inevitably follow in tho
wake of such a sane and Just nnd effective
and imperative measuro by a league of na
tions. France and the world demand Foch as
leader. Other than the Lusltania, facts' which
set America aflame were known to Washing
ton two years before. Were- they withheld
to get votes? Is anything now withheld for
the same purpose? The world demands a
leader In whom they have the fullest confi
dence -Foch. E C T

GIRLS DID MOST WORK
PICKING PRODUCE IN 1918
Report of Surplus Committee
Shows Achievements iu
Conserving Food
The second annual report of the suiplus
produco committee Is Just out and shows tho
enormous amount of work done In 1918
toward conserving surplus garden products.
A large part of the picking was done by
Olrl Scouts, Junior League girls and boys .
from tho Home of tho Good Shepherd at
Iloscmont. Tho girls and boys worked dur
ing the hottest weather, and, umong other
products, collected 2039 cars of corn, 179
bushels of apples, 10 bunches of carrots,
761 bunches of beets nnd 445 cabbages all
of which would have been wasted otherwise.
After tho vegetables wcro collected they
were delivered to volunteer canneries, to
camps or to social settlements, whero they
were received eagerly
A new plan Is on foot to apply tho same
method to (lower conservation. Over 10,000
roses died in the national lest garden of
the American Roso Society In Washington
last October during the time when hospital')
wero crowded with Influenza patients. When
the surplus (lowers aro picked tiny can be
sent to hospitals and other local Institutions.
Tho executive committee on surplus pro
duco Is headed by Mrs. Andrew Wright
Crawford, president; Mrs. Joseph Parker
N'orrls, Jr., secretary: Mrs. Francis M.
Brooke, treasurer; Miss Elizabeth Chew,
Mrs. Morris L. Clothier, Miss Ocrtrude Ely,
MrB. Lody.ird Hecksehcr, Miss Josephine
Mather, Mrs. Phlncas l'routy, Mrs. O. A
Sen-Ice, Mrs. George C. Thayer, Mrs. Isaau
Blddle Thomas and Mrs. T. Meller Tyson.
