Firearm Restrictions
To the Editor of thr Evcntno Public Jfffr.'
Sir The wrltar. who was formerly n
resident of New York nnd Interested In
welfare worlc, has had brought to his at
tention the promiscuous salo of nrearms
and blackjacks; also knlven of six Inches
In length or over ami other dangerous
weapons. Should there not be somo
legislation advocated to control the sale
of such articles, such as tho Sullivan law
of New York stole?
Tho writer has noticed on several
occasions, whllo walking, the extensive
display of firearms and other dangerous
weapons In pawnshops nnd hardware
stores. This condition, I am sure. Is
attractive to those who feel Inclined to
earn anything but nn honest living and
to perhaps a demented person or nn
Innocent hot-tempered person who, per
haps If the laws were strict on this sub
ject, would not allow his or her mind
to trnvel In this direction. Almost every
iiiiv i iiav roAtl nf eiin flchts nnd In
juries and even murders perpetrated by
people who might not have committed
these nets. True, we cannot altogether
ellmtnnto this evil, for the denizens of
the underworld would nnd n way or
evading any law, but why not protect
the populaco of this city from Injury by
limiting the salo of firearms only by per
mit? This would In a very short time
overcome the difficulty, why not Im
prison any one having such a weapon for
n term of one year or over, with re
strictions where tho owner can prove his
or her Intention to protect property or
person with limitations?

Sir Kindly permit me to call your at

tlon thoro Is no gtound for tha state

there bo no Interim between the disso

there will be nontrlmanyhu

Philadelphia. Juno 29
To the Editor of the Evening Publio Ltdotrl
Sir From a practical standpoint, It
will require at least three months to
organize a new county commltteo In
Philadelphia under tho provisions of the
new constitution. Q
The new constitution will bo ratified
possibly In thirty days by the requisite
number of posts. As soon as tho new
document Is ratified the present county
committee Is automatically legislated out
of existence.
Under the terms of the new constitu
tion. It rtqulres an nftlrmatlve vote of
three-fifths of the posts In Philadelphia
countv, representing three-fifths of the
paid-up membership, 10 organize a new
county committee.
With such strong posts as tho Henry
H. Houston, No. 3, of Gcrmantown, In
opposition to the. colinly committee
proposition it tviu require some ncujo
effort on the part" of posts Interested In
the formation of a bounty t committee t
effect its organisation In three months.
Tho difficulty Is greater because of the
fact that ft largo number of posts have
obandoncd meeting during July and
August, and consequently cannot act
upon the county committee proposal until
September unless called together In
special "5$nAIN c sniCK.

PERFECTLY SAFE
' In all of Its many uses
MILTON is not poisonous, will
not corrode the skin; cannot
take fire or explode. It is per
fectly safe to have about in the
nursery. Yet it is more efficient
than many usual and some
times dangerous compounds.
MILTON promotes quick healing of baby's scratches
and cuts; relieves chafing and irritation of the tender
skin. A few drops in water on a soft cloth help
to keep the little gums healthy, the teeth sound.
MILTON removes stains almost instantly from tho
tiny linen or cotton garments and bleaches them a
snowy white. But don't use MILTON on silk,
wool or dyed goods.
MILTON thoroughly disinfects the diapers and
removes all stains and odor; a tablespoonful to a
quart of water is sufficient
MILTON cleans porcelain and tile articles in the
nursery and help3 to keep them bright. Cloths
moistened with MILTON and hung in the nursery
will wonderfully freshen the air.
MILTON is the wartime discovery of an English
chemist. All England welcomed it. Now MILTON
is here in America. Telephone for a bottle from
izmum

Mothers and nurses coming in from
'the street, will safeguard baby by
k uaing MILTON as a mouthwash
t effectively kills germs.

SOME historians give LaSalle famed as the explorer of the Missis
sippi credit for the discovery of the Northwest; others give
the honor to Radisson. Very different in station and temperament, the
one a clear-cut cavalier and the other a rugged frontiersman, they
were equally brave and fearless. The name of the former is associ
ated in history with the Niagara and the Chicago Portages; the name
of the latter with the Mackinaw Portage.

When these bold
regions of the Northwest, there was no word in our language
to describe the difficult trails that connected lake to lake. So
they called them Portages a word derived from the French
meaning "to carry" because upon these rude paths the
travellers had to bear the burden of the canoes and baggage on
their shoulders. The Portage then came to mean the hard
gruelling "carry," the back-breaking task of burden-bcarina
that all the pioneers of the North and West experienced.
THE first Portage Tire was -produced ten years ago. It was a big,"'
rugged and muscular tire designed to stand up under the severest
strains, built to deliver abundant mileage in spite of the jolts and jars
of rough roads. A dependable tire then it is immensely better today!
Every detail of carcass, tread, side-wall and bead is scientifically de
termined and built to exact specifications to insure correct balance and
even wear. Only the stoutest and most carefully tested cotton fabric
and cord goes into Portage Tires. That gives them strength to endure.
A generously ihick and tough but pliable rubber tread gives them
the power to resist road abrasion.
Just as our language adopted the word Portage because of a need
so has the motor public adopted the tire.
They get yon' there and back!
