A Astl tit come into ms pif have largs bills changed or checks cashed. On -a busy day a merchant Is expected te tske his time and te clean out his small rash for a patron's t ccomreodatlon. If the merchant refjses the custemtl becomes angry and trades elsewhere. 1 have a rem dy te suggest. Why net let it be a law or a regular cue cue tern for merchants te charge 1 per cent commission en all money changed by them for accommodation? Fer Instance! A man wants me te change a 10 bill for him. Lt him pay me ten cents for commission. A SaTren wants me te cash a $50 check! let him pay me flftV cents. 'On all sums of II or less! let a commission of one cent be ".Id. This ..em. te m. perfectly fair. The merchant Is paid (and net overpaid) or his trouble, and the person who wants the menty changed doesn't have Je pay any tee Such for the obligation. What de ether reader say? ' " Philadelphia.

Her mother objected, but with no avail. Se one morning, after being out with this fellow late the night before, her mother came te her room before she get up, and beeeeched nnd priyed with her te give him up. but she refused. Her mother locked the deer, took her out or bed. disrobed her and spanked her severely. She ltlll would net give In. Her mother left her. but premised te return In the after noon, which she did at 2 o'clock. Still the daughter would net repent. Then again the mother spanked her, mere severely than be fore, and premised the same again that night, ny that time she repented and she expressed herself as being sorry for her dis obedience. Fer that she thanks her mother, as she Is new happily married. I am a methw of two daughters, one twenty-two jears, the ether nineteen years, and at the present time. If they de any willful disobedient act, I wait until the fol lowing morning when I go te the bedroom and waken up the guilty one, take her out, slap her with my hand or strap her severely din .v.. u.a fnr m-rrv. The e drst Is mar rled. and It's only a few weeks age I found a fellow trying te dirt with her and she did net seem te discourage him. at tne same tlme denying it te myself and her father.

Heg Island lr situated at a delightful spot along the Delaware, and within very easy access te the city. If It cannot be held'te be of any use for commercial purposes, why net turn If Inte a great pleasure park, and glve.lt an appropriate name te commemorate the great world war, and te ba used especially by th ex-service men, where a clubhouse for them could be erected and where meetings could be held from time te time te go ever the work that our Philadelphia and nearby sol dier boys accomplished toward bringing about peace. Philadelphia Is bad off for a pleasure ground, of this character, which could be reached either by land or water, and there would be no mera Ideal place for such a park than Heg Island. Of course, we must leek te the commercial end flrst. It does, net seem possible te me that It will be necessary for the demolishing of the great shlpwayi located there, for this country Is about te enter upon a great boom In the shipping trade and It would seem that this ship building plant, new se well established, might be retained te be used for the pur pose originally Intended. At least It should neer go out of existence, 'but .be used for some purpose or another considering th great things that were accomplished there. DAVID T. FOimEST Philadelphia, October 23. 1020.
