THE HEEL OF PROGRESS TT USKD to be supposed that when all --clsc in the world was changed and when the last man in the world went tottering away on the last loueomc vacation the old Reading station nt Kaighn avenye, Camden, would remain, a tnoldcring ruin, to remind the pns- 'ser-by of dn nncicnt past. But the 'Reading, intoxicated apparently by its Anew sense of freedom and utterly 'reckless of tradition and precedent, an- nonncci, jovially that the old thing will Tbc demolished. A new- terminal as bright and attractive as the Heading's corporate hopes will rise in its stead. The Kaighn avenue ferry station was the one really notable ruin in America 'side from the rambling remains of Mr. "Bryan's presidential aspirations. Now k is to go! Time is indeed a mighty process of change. Nothing is permanent! , PLAY FOR YOUNG AND OLD TO THE subject of children's play grounds, on which she is a recog nized authority, Sophia h. Hos, the 'new chief of the Bureau of Recreation, contributes a suggestive idea. Her plea is not only for more recreation centers, 'but also for enhancing their appeal to . .jdults. "Both parents and children," ,1-sho declares, "should gather together -on plnjgrnunds." ,, This docs not mean, of course, that 'the oldsters should feel compelled to 8wing, seesaw nnd jump rope. The placc where these diversions nre patron ized ought, however, to be made sufii 1 ciently attractive to interest parents through other merits. It is overspeclal ization which has resulted often in a wholly unnecessary separation of fami lies nnd children in the precious hours -of case. ' It Is said that the new plan of com bining park and playground features in ,,'rjiitnlcipnl breathing places has not been tried in on other rity, so Phila--dclphla has the opportunity to be a pioneer in this rational reform. PRESIDENT YIELDS POINT r:I! N HIS latest note ou Adriatic affairs there is one concession mude by the Prudent which ina go far toward ad vnnRng n solution of the vexed problem. The .lanuarj "hettlement" which Mr. Wilson regarded ns n distinct repudi ation of a plan in the formulation of whicji the American (iowrnmcnt pur licipated in December threw overboard the proposal to erect a buffer state, in cluding Flume, between Italj and Jugo slavia. Mr. Wilson now confessics to 'realizing that neither Italy nor the Serb-Croat-Slovcue monarchy wnb in sympathy with sucli an arrangement. The President therefore urges that the '"corpus separntus" be confined simply "to (he town of Finnic under the sover eignty of the League of Nations without cither Italian or .lugo Slav control Premier N'itti has alread npproed of' the organization nf Fiumc ns a free city. It is ou tho subject of "control" upon which Ills government and that of the United States now differ. But this disparity of opinion is certainly far less wide than iu the das when the Italian delegation left the I'cace f'ouferouce be cause the complete ccbiou of Flume was iot granted. - Complex ns the Adriatic situation still Is, the edge has assured Jieen re moved from seeral point of dispute formerly regarded ns pcrilmislj sharp. AN OLD-FASHIONED WINTER 0LD-FASIIIONKU wiutirs have been in oue respect like old-fashioned pie and old fashioned manners and old fashioned music Thev lime never been without ardent partisans and press agents to chant their glories mid lnmeut their rurit iu no uudiscriinl liating world. The) were seasons that by their ery rigor put lm luto )ou and kept jou joung! Ornnd and bracing they were, a mini got htroug In battle with them and they made past genera tions hard and wise! I Well, we are jiiRt limping out of a whiter thnt began in earnest about the middle of November. It bus been old utshioncd ever siucu. It may have been "thrilling enough if you viewed it from "thp safe refuge of a warm farmhouse, Vherc one might have remained as free Iroiu tho blasts ut winter wheat under the. nnow. When crops are iu and toil isn't to be, thought of until spring nirs Soften (be ground, it is posslblo for lieoplc In the country to admlro the old 'fashioned wiuter. Hut one must won der whether tho legeudary glory that vllngs to It doesn't reully belong to the oldfhloni'd stoc. T JVr pioutliH truffle has been dj04cut on country roads. Cattle Buffered. Coal was not casr to procure. Dairymen worked harder than men should be naked tp work. In cities tho winter was n tlmo of discomfort, of cold feet, of lone waits for belated trolleys, of sneers for the weather man. City folk have come through to a vlolont March in a state of physical enervation and spirit ual discouragement that ensues usually after an unequal battlo survived with difficulty. Would old-fashioned plo and old fashioned manners bring disillusion, too, if they wcro suddenly revived for an extraordinary occasion? Do they seem beautiful only because they are far away? A PENNSYLVANIA MEAL OF PENNSYLVANIA FOOD The Tlmo Has Como When Wo Should Look to Local Farmers to Supply Home Needs A HOUSKWIFB went into a Phlla "delphla meat market to buy a fresh killed chicken. The market man turned to a flat box on the counter packed mil of plucked chickens and lifted one out. "Is that fresh-killed?" the woman asked. "Oh, yes," was tho reply. "But where docs it come from, in a box like that?" "From Wisconsin. They ralso nice chickens there." The woman took the chicken and paid forty-eight cents a pbund for It, confident that it had not been in a cold storage warehouse. When she went into a fruit store she found apples from Oregon and Washington selling for ten cents apiece, In the grocery store she bought but ter from one of the western states, and paid not less than scvcnt-llvo cents a pound for It. And her beef and pork, of course, come from the West because the East has stopped raising meat. There are two ways of looking at this situation. Ono may swell with pride and boast that Philadelphia lays the whole coun try under trlbuto to supply her needs. Or, ono may wonder why one of the richest agricultural states in the Union fails to Ripply food enough for the cities within hqr boundaries. Every foreign -rniscd chicken annle. pound of beef or pork paid for in this nit, lav. a , ti. ...in, f !,! community. It takes money out of it nnd sends it to distant producers, who spend it in the markets of their own part of the country and pay part of it In tmea in hulld rnn.i it. other ttnteu nnd to mnlnfnln nthcr tntp enrnrn. ments. After one has got all the catlf-factidn possible out of swelling with pride at the ability of Pennsylvania dollars to hrinir the nrodueta nf other Rntc hoc one would do well to consider a little while what would happen if more Fennsjlvnnia dollars were spent nt home. The orchards of this state can be made to produce all the apples that can be consumed here. And they cun pro duce better apples than nre raised in the irrigated orchards of tho West. The westerners themselves admit it. When they taste an eastern apple grown in a region where there is moisture enough in the soil to keep the trees in good condition and where there is sun enough to ripen the fruit they sigh and w:ish that their own apples had the same flavor. The time is coming when enterpris ing farmfirs in increasing numbers will cultivate their orchards as they do In the West, and will spray the trees and prune them and care for them ns me would care for the goose that lajs the golden egg if they happened to own that fascinating and productive fowl. Our own State Deportment of Agri culture can do something to hasten this day as it can do something to in cite the farmers to raise more chickens and more cattle and more pigs. The western cattle ranges are being cut up into farms. The era of free grass is coming to an end. A new sjs tem of meat production must be de veloped in the near future because the old syttem is breaking down. The ma chinery built up for gathering and slaughtering and distributing the range-fed meat is still in existence. It being adjusted to the new condi "I l" UIC UVW UIMJIU- tion-;: thnt N, to the assembling and, slaughtering and distribution of farm raised cattle, when it is not etending itself to South America and Austra lia, where the r.mge conditions still prevail. At the present prices of ine.it nnd nt the prices that nre likelj to prevail for several jears cattle can be raided profitably on Pennsylvania farms. And the by-product of a Mock farm can be utilized to make more fertile the" ground on which vegetables and grains nre raised. All that is needed is more intensive cultivation and the adoption of some of tho methods used by the western farmers. Where is the labor to come from? some pessimist ma; ask The western fanners hate a!rad begun lo look for a supplj of Jiands fnr the harvest sea son which they used to get from the flouting population of "hobos." They say that prohibition lias ubolished the tramp uud that seasonul lubor must be recruited from some other source. Well, if prohibition has produced this benefi cent result we should be glnd of It and set about linding some other way for suppl.iing nan est hands wherever they may be needed The machine has already enabled onr pair of hands to do in funning what used to require half n dozen pairs. The machine, it is evident, must be still further adapted to farming. The trac- I tor is still in its infancy, but It can be used on Pennsylvania farms in many of the processes of cultivation. In the potato-growing states, planting, cul- tlvating and digging nre all done by machinery, reducing the amount of huud labor to a minimum. This is merely an illustration of what can be (lone. Then if the local farmers who sup ply our markets would cugngo In co operative buying und harvesting and selling they could bring about econo mies for themselves und for the cou sumer which would be of Immense bcncfU to all concerned. Wo look to the superintendent of agriculture iu Harnsburg to take tho lend in a movement to increase the prosperity of the farmers of tho stuto and to bring down tho cost of llviug for nil of us. There is little- risk for the farmers iu investing now capital in their business, for whatever else people must do without they must have food. There U a market for everything thai can be raised on every acre of soil In tho commonwealth, if proper or rn)Re'nii';ils cau be pmdo to get It' to EVENING PUBLia the consumer. Tho Wisconsin chicken raisers can get their fowls here, and tho Oregon apple-raisers have no diffi culty in putting their fruit on our tables, even In competition with better flavored home-grown fruit. What the men In any other state can do can bo dono by tho meu of Pennsylvania.

The gabled Chamberlln, supplanting tho oven more tradition encrusted Hygoia, was erected in tho nineties on leased government property Immediately adjacent to Fortress Monroe. For several years tho War Department has been on the verge of razing the hotel lo provide for necessary expansion of the army post. Such extension is now said to be inevitable. "Old Point will then be n memory, but one, however, with n secure place in our social history. CAPITAL AND INCOME rnHAl' two opinions can be held ou the -1- nature of a stock dividend is evident from the fact that the Supreme Court by a vote of five to four decided that such n dividend is not income within the meaning of the sixteenth amendment to the constitution, nnd Is therefore not subject to the income tax. For the benefit of the uninitiated. It may be explained that a stock dividend is a distribution by a corporation of new shnrcs of stock to the shareholders in proportion to their holdings. Each new shore issued is a certificate en titling the holder to u proportionate sharo in tho distribution of tho earn ings or Incomo of tho corporation. The .uau uiviucna3 paiu on tne new as well as tne old shares arc income. The income-tax law taxed stock dlvi dends as well as dividends on stock as Incomo nnd the Intcrnnl Revenue Tic partment has collected many million dollars under the law. All the tax col !IctiteJ,on atock dividends must now be refunded. As four the justices of the Supreme vuf wll, lae congress mat passed the law, there need be no con- demnntlon of the legislators for their (mistake. But there will be no excuse . iu the futuro for similar mistakes. The I "fcUion of the majority of the court is , f,Ba1' nnd tlle vIpw ot lie lawyers for the corporations is upheld. Tll( Bonrd ot cit-v Trusts in charge ot thp Girard estate bus been eon- iromeo oy a siraunr uuncuiiy in tieni ing with the royalties on the coal lands belonging to the estate. There has been it disposition in some quitrters to regard the royalties as income. But tho trustees have consistently regarded the royalties as annual installments on tho cnpital of the estate. When the coal is all taken from the land that which is left will bo of little value. Its worth is in the coal. If tho property is to be conserved for the public good the royalties must be reinvested in or- der thnt the capital may not be ex haustcd. The Supreme Court decision is based on the same kind of a distinction be tween cnpital nnd income.

War lias Broken Ddlon thi Habit of Saving New Invention Needed to Bring About Economics to Make Reconstruction Easier rvANIEL WILLARD, president of tho Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, says that if his firemen would save a shovelful of coal out of every twenty they tht w into the fire under the en gine they would reduce the cost of oper ating his road $720,000 a year. .Will they savo tho shovelful In twenty? Hardly. There ucver was n time when labor wnv'lcss interested in making the rail roads u success than it is now. And the Indifference of labor is not confined to the railroads. It is general. J. M. Keynes, in his book on "The Economic Consequences of tho Peace," puts It well. The economic state of the world be foro the war broke out rested upon cer tain unstable factors, though mankind believed them stable. "The war," says-Mr. Keynes, "has disclosed the possibility' ot consumption to all and the vanity of abstinence to many. The lab'orlng classes may be no longer willing to forgo so largely as formerly." But it is something moro than that. The world has learned that a great catastrophe may wipe out all tho pain ful accumulations of society. Savings arc worth only half what they wcro when they wcro mode, nnd taxes threaten that half. ' Our dollars lose value while they are in our. pockets. . , ,.,,., Tho laboring classes havo'loit faith in tho directing classes. Governments failed to stave off n world catastrophe. And the managers of industry had to turn over their properties to govern ments in tho emergency. Doubts hac arisen which make men reckless. Tho whole process out of which so ciety was growing richer nnd the stand ard of living was being raised has been arrested, has been stopped. And faith in it Is for the time gone. It Is not easy to get men to save n shovelful out of twenty in a moment like this. fl I A NOTHER psychological factor that M8 gone Is faith in tho steady con- rmest nf mnn nvir nature. Tno battlo cctwccn nine economies and mounting costs has been lost by little economics. It is no longer possible to say that the use of improved machinery, the saving of tho by-products, the handling in larger units, make up for the ex haustion of the richer lands and tho more easily worked veins of raw ma terials. Before the war little economics were slowly losing in the race. But during tne war costs suuucniy rose and brushed the little economics aside. Men will work their heads off to build levees so long ns the rising river only trickles over them, but when n great rush of water breaks through they throw down their Bhovcls. It Is bnrd to make men believe thnt one shovelful of coal in twenty will stop the rising tide. q 9 q WHAT is needed is not a shovelful in twenty that is all very well if Mr. Willard can get it; but a new faith, a new interest in tho great business of accumulation for the benefit of society as a whale, a new and general sense thnt abstinence is not vanity. Such n new hope cannot be based upon saving a shovelful in twenty. q q 'q THE world's fnith for moro than 100 years was built upon the great in ventions. Lenino and tho British Tabor party leaders are social inventors. They are convinced that the hope of the future lies in bocial inventions. But only if the limit of great physi cal inventions has been reached. Another James Watt would give mankind a new hope that the battle with nature had bicn won such as no Lcnlnc or Henderson can hold out. One-fifth of all the 'capacity and energy of Mr. Willnrd's railroad and nil other railroads is devoted to carrying fuel for tho locomotives. Suppose Mr. Willard could announce tomorrow that', for example, by pow dering coal before consuming it bis en gines need carry only half as much fuel as now. Ten ner cent additional capacity of his train would bo available for freight i op pawenger houllnj. This would be not one shovelful in twenty," but ten shovelfuls In twenty. A revolution would take place iu in-, dustry. Men would have a new hope. q j j SUPPOSH Mr. Willard could an nounce that nil the railroads of the couutry could now be electrified. That would mean all tho capacity now devoted to transporting engine fuel could then be devoted to freight, an in crease in the carrying capacity of the roads of 20 per cent. It would mean more than that, for if tho railroads could bo electrified till Industries could bo electrified, and there would be no need to carry coal to the Industries. About half tho capacity of the rail roads Is devoted to carrying fuel for themselves and for the Industries. ' Transportation would at once be made moro efficient for general pur poses. Mounting costs would be knocked out in n singlo round. Men would get over their present reckless mood and believe once moro that the great light of man against matter was a progressively easier fight. q j q ALL that Is needed to bring about this revolution Is u great invention that would make n considerable part of tho power latent In coal available In the form of electricity. At nresent only 10 per cent of this power is on tho average thus uvailable. Here is u chance to save not one shovelful in twenty, but nino shovelfuls iu ten. q q q TO HAVE faith in the future, to have a new psychology on which to go forward tho world needs some big economy. Mr. Wilson saw it and offered the world a political labor-saving machine, tho League of Nations, to savo armies and armaments and let the world go to The world looked ut his great Inven tion and rejected it. It was only a shovelful in twenty. Lenino and Henderson, In different ways, see it and offer what may be called a social labor-saving machine, a discontent-saving machine. Only u small part of the world, und thut the part where the old order made its direst failure, has been interested. It is not certain that this is even ono shovelful in twenty. q q q ATrnAT is gone from the world is tho YV faith in Progress, built upon the lust two centuries1 conquest over nature fortified ny tne ineory ot evolution.
