The only deduction that I can make la that either tha murderers are very much mere shrewd nnd cunning than In former yeara, or tha detective department la much mere atupld. In former yeara at leaet n (reed percentare of the murdera were ferreted out and the vullty parties found. We have had very few murder mysteries In thla city during; the second half of the last century, but of late It seems te me that the detectlvca have found It simply Impossible te detect, and after a period of a few weeks of loud talk, tha puhlle have fnrretten an old murder when a new one takes place, and we have the aame reiult, It would almett appear that It would be a wlae thlna- te establlah a echoel for de tective In which they were taught the art of ferreting out a crime, for there mutt be an art In It.

Wheh a movement la aa gin era! na this la there la bound te be seme iraulta I notice that the beard of revision states that they will readjust assessments when the are tee high following a complaint, tut hew many of us un get away from business te make the templnrnt? This la vry unfair te tall us thnt ihey will net take any recognition of cemplalnta by let ter, hut will hear nnv one vvlin will makj a complaint In person at City Hall. The City Hall workers have such very abort hours that It la Impossible for the great majer'ty of perple te leave thrlr werlt and spend several hours making n lslt te City Hall. They net only lese their time, tut In many Instnnus nre decked In their ungea for the time they de net work. When n man has had his assessment raised te the extent thnt h will have te pay many mero dollars In taxes. It Is hardly likely that hu will want te still further Impoverish him self by losing 1 et mere by a visit te Clt Hall, and prebally without results. What right has thla t.tx body te levy an assessment about which they knew net whether It Is equitable or net, nnd then ex pect the people te ceme and straighten nut their errors? This Is cznrlsm In Its worst form We rreperty owners have our rights which even City Hall must admit.

Death Frem Petromertls Te the jrHer e the Evening Publle Ledger: Blr I have read ae many times during the year about deaths of automobile own ers from petromertls that I wish te prevent mers of them. Every automobile ewner, repairman or chauffeur should be very caro care ful te protect himself. Heffman, In the year 1710, knew hew dangerous the gaa was. The gas has a density of O.DflT, la colorless, oderlcaa and tasteless. It Is se poisonous that a small quantity of 0,2 te 0.S la deadly. That means that two perta of the gn te 10,000 parts of air are dangerous. Doing odor less. It cannot be detected and therefore the greater ciutlen should be observed. ' Gasoline will produce mere of the poison ous gases the less pure It Is. Tha con sumer Is, therefore, entitled te ask for the guaranty et a certain purity of gaso line. The density et gasoline Indicates also Its purity. There should be a law te pro hibit the sain of gasoline of a tlenslty be low the standard. If one la working en automobiles and feels a alight riltxtness he should go quickly nut Inte the fresh air and air the garage befnre re-entering It. Otherwise he might swoon nnd death would fellow, It there la no one at hand who will remeve him from the poisonous gases In time. The gases combine with the hsemnglnbln. making the bleed unnbla te take up oxy gen, flubbing with warm rags and the help of n. Physician In tlme can save the poi soned victim. Yeu cannot detect the prcs prcs ence of the highly poisonous gas WILLIAM T. AYHES. Philadelphia. Nevtmber 17, 1020. Married and Happy Te the Kdlter of the Evenlne Pubtle Lidetr: Sir A writer In jour People's Tnrum says "a girl takes a long chance newndia In getting married, for she may almost be sure that nfter a few year her husband sies seme enn he Ukcs liettcr nnd she does net charm him na she once did." Whnt was It that charmed him Inte mar rying her?

Anether reason Is that mnny girls de net knew hew te cook and Instead of buying a geed cook ltoek and learning, they buy thMr dinners at delicatessen shops. When a man marries he deea It ae thnt he mny enjoy the comforts of a home, and geed meals nre ene of the comforts te which he Is entitled, A wlfe aheuld learn te cook his f.iverlte dishes and muke his home se pleasant for him that clubs and ether women will have no attraction for him. If she will nllew him te have his friends In for n game of rnrds or dinner once in a while, I am sure she will ba the one woman In the world for him. I have been mirrled for seven jears. We have no family, but that Is our misfor tune, as we leat eevcral children by death. My husbiud works for n salary, just like thousands of ether men We have a modest but cozy home, where our friends nre always welcome I de all my own work nnd play valet te my husband, but that Is a labor of love. My husband always turns his pay envelope evor te me, but he can have money any time h wants It. Terhaps the writer of the letter referred te nbove thinks that Is doing tee much for Time te eliminate the failures te keep only these men and that equipment that return a full measure of service for the dollars they cost you ! The time has passed when the employ ment office cries, "any man will give us mere production than no man" hence the incompetents crept in. Ne longer does the purchasing agent cry, "any belts that will turn the pulleys!" and therefore the in efficient belts were installed.

Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Among rt circle of friends there has been considerable controversy an te what was the fend St. Jehn really nte. We are told In the third chapter of St. Matthew and the fourth verse that "his meat was locusts and wild henc." Are we te assume thnt the Insect Is meant, or that It was a feed prepared from the bean of the locust tre, fnr Instance, In the form of bread? Thla factory N. I J la suggested by the association of 'locust" with "wild honey," If the Insect Is meant, hew was tha feed prepared? The making et St. Jehn's bread leada us te Infer that It waa a bread and net the Inaect that Is meant. W. C. L. Philadelphia, November 15, 1920. This query waa submitted te several of tha meat eminent niblleal scholars of this dty. The Ilev. Dr. Floyd W. Temklna, rec tor of the Church of thn Hely Trinity, senda the following answer: "The question about the feed eaten by St, Jehn the Daptlst Is net a difficult one. Tha locusts wera a comparatively common feed amongst eastern people, and. Indeed, I have known grasshoppers In the west et the United mates te be eaten. In Leviticus xl, 22, tha eating of locusts, as well aa btles and graashoppers. Is distinctly allowed. Aa for wild honey, we knew from the experience of Jonathan (I Samuel xlv. 2(1-27) nnd also from the rlddle of Samson that wild honey was counted almost a delicacy. Probably the locusts were coeknd Inte a kind of pudding St. Jehn waa, by his very dreaa and hnblt. a atartllng messenger te the people. They were net unused, however. In the East te .!nr men who. like Elijah the Prophet, come with curious dress and curious habits te call them from am te rignteeusness." nnbbl Jeseph Krauskopf, of the Xloferm Congregation Keneaeth Israel, taken a dif ferent view and bolleves that the fruit of the tree Is meant, hla answer te the query "In reply te your Inquiry of November 17 permit me te aay that the 'lecuat' apeken of In the New Testament In connection with Jehn the Daptlst was net the insect of that name, but th fruit of tha locust tree, which in the Orient constitutes a very palatable diet of a sweetlsh taste. It Is very nourishing and wholly different from the fruit of the locust tree In this part of the world, where It deea net attain the site nnd richness of the fruit of Its kindred tree In the Orient."
