What Is Her Duty?
t Te the Editor of ids Kvenine Publh Ledatr:
Blr I am somewhat In a quandary and
may receive a little, advice from you or one
of your readers. I marfled a man who was
somewhat elder than myself, and who was a
widower at the time. My husband Is very
ceed te me, and quite Indulgent. I te never
objects te anything 1 may de or any place I
may go, se long as I don't Insist that he
accompany me. lie Is fend of sitting home
' and reading, and occasionally entertaining
at home his old friends;, but I like te go te
the. theatre, te the opera, te concerts and te
all places of this character, although I de
net attend card parties and don't go te the
movies.
Be many of ray friends make Insinuating
remarks about my going te se many places
without my husband, although I am fre
quently accompanied by my daughter, who Is
yet a schoolgirl, and naturally cannot be
vary place with me en account of her
studies and her age requiring a certain
amount of sleep. Have these friends any
Tight te question my conduct when I have
a. thorough understanding with my husbandT
He does net ask me te stay at home, for he
realises that as I have the better part of thu
day te read, and I would net care te spend
the evening In that way, and he seems rather
lad that I can find some ether recreation, se
that I leave him alone and uninterrupted.
But I knew I am the subject of consider
able gossip among my friends, excepting
these who knew me very well and fully un
derstand conditions. They Invariably say, I
am told, "It Is strange she la never seen
with her hfisband," or "Did you see Mrs. S.
dlnlffg with another man at 1" 1 am
sensitive and feel that there are ma,ny per
sons who think my deportment questionable
tinder the circumstances named, ltut what
am I te de? Am I te remain home and
mlserable all the time? I would have te de
se unless I go out alone, os my husband ab
solutely refuses all social engagements, as
well as most ether recreations, except an
'occasional visit te the theatre.

Calls for Sympathy
te the Editor 0 the Evtnlne Public Ledger:
8lr While I de net wish te stand In
the position of being sentimental and at
tempting te defend any one who has com
mitted a crime, yet I cannot help but feci
that the world Is no) Infrequently tee
harsh upon young criminals who have never
had the opportunity of geed advice and
proper home training.
I have In mind Marie Williams In the
writing of this letter. I think she deserves
our utmost sympathy, for her path te crime
has been laid out for her by these who
should knew better. Llke se many girls of
her type who are enticed Inte crlme, and.
'when caught, are severely punished, her
entlcer gees entirely free. Who Is the real
criminal In such a situation the educated,
cultured man, with his Mr. 'Hyde second
self, or the little. Innocent girl, with little
It anything te leek forward te In this world.
and who Is dazzled, through her Ignorance
and Innocence, by the things that money
will bring, no matter hew It may be ac
quired? , Therp are thousands of Marie WllUamses
hVeyery big city. They are such because
they have lacked the right "helping-hand."
The hand that uplifts Is tee rarely ex
tended; the helping-hand te still farther
degradation Is always out te be grasped
by a. girl with a youthful, pretty face, with
out the staying hand of leve that warns
against temptation.
Marie Wllllims. accerdlnr In her own
statement In the Etemxci Pernie Lcentn.
found herself without parents and the right
sort of home In her extreme south. She
was pretty, she was vivacious. Her life
was befnre her with no one te guide her
In the right direction, and plenty te pafht
pictures, for a nprpose, of a world that Is
alwaia attractive te a young person te
whom the sign of warning "beware" Is
never placed before her.
Being pushed from pillar te pest In a
sort of underworld In which she lived,
she Anally meets some one who Is really
kind te her, and her heart naturally gees
out te him It Is human nature. She Is
led blindly by this new sensation and een
tually. In the majority of instances, Inte the
cells of Time, tn many cases through no
fault of her own, ether than her Inability
through training te resist temptation.
If the general publle would have mere
charity, mere consideration, for the Marie
WllUamses of the city, and would extend
te them the hand of fellowship and with
the spirit of uplift, thousands of girls of
this character could be reclaimed and geed
women would be the result.

The Hall Police Plan
Te thi EMler 0 (he Evening Public Ledger:
Blr The Hall police plan that has been
uggested as a means of getting the police
force of the city out of the hands of
the Mayer and his publle safety depart
ment and placing It In charge of the
tate government Is tee ridiculous te be
considered. It these In direct cemmuni
catien with this force In City Hall can
not bring about a mero effective result,
hew could we hope te have It brought
bout threuah Harrlsburg? We all knew
hew Harrlsburg is run, from the head
cfnclale down, and the scheme merely
means the taking of this department, out
ef our own hands, who have te pay for
it and be benefited or suffer through It,
ed place It In the hands of a number
ef grafters at the state capital, who are
no mere Interested In Philadelphia than
te get their "divvy" out of Its taxpayers
and te bruur mere political strength te
the gang In pewer there.
This seems te be another ene of the
Vare schemes. The city punished the Vares
(or their Interference and Incempetency
when they elected Mayer Moere, and ever
since they have been doing everything
possible te discredit his administration,
and Interfere with his proper conducting
of his office. It will be a great shame
If the voters of this city will allow this
Iderrupt clement that dominated tn the
pas) te ever again get Its hands upon
the reins at City Hall. Mayer Moere
may net bs doing everything that we
might want him te de, but then we
must remember that we are all net of
the same opinion, and that he Is un
doubtedly trylnr te de the mesi geed
for the largest number of our cltlsens.

Protect Our Business Reputation
Te the Editor 0 the Evening Publle Ledger:
Sir A situation has developed which may
easily Imperil the prosperity of this nation's
foreign trsdt. Because of the fall In com
modity prices several Importers In this coun
try have seen fit te lay down en their con
tracts and te refuse te take a vast amount
of expensive material and staples which they
ordered several months age, Immense de-
!Lr,f" ' "uRr- naxe ben h'd up In
this way. merely because the American buy
era did net want te take the losses.
There have been Instances where banks
that have Issued an Irrevocable letter of
credit have declined payment when the
credit was presented. I think this situation
Is most unfertunate at a time when this
country Is building up a great foreign trade
especially with nations which formerly did
most of their business with Londen Inter
ests. If foreign sellers cannot trust an
American bill It does net take much Imagina
tion te see that the American bill will be
discriminated against In the markets of
the world.
Furthermore, it Is eildent that our Im
porters will be under suspicion, for a man
whose word cannot be trusted Is net worthy
of business confidence anywhere, The banks
ought te take a strensr oesltlon saalnit the
Maying down of Importers sgalnst foreign
traae contracts of this kind.

Avoid Colloquialisms
Te the Editor of the Evening Publle Ltdgir:
Sir I want te call your attention te two
terms that are Imarlably misused by the
People of this country and very frequently In
the newspapers. I refer te the use of
"criminal lawyers" and "Insane as) turn "
When you say r. man Is a "criminal law
yer" It Is hardly complimentary, but when
you say he Is a "criminal law lawyer,"
then you have It absolutely correct and the
man's status Is understood In the second

Trelley Condition Unchanged
tTe the Editor of the Evening J'uotle Ledger:
' Sir What was I) we had expected when
We slgntd cards te abolish the transfers
and exehanges and pay a straight fare?
Was It no) that the Ilapld Transit Ce.
would be able te give us better service
through considerably mere money at their
disposal? The cards we signed did, net
have the effect, but It did end In a seven

Entirely tee few cars are being run.
If the transit company does no) have the
cars they should seeure them, but I am
told tha) their carbarns are filled with

they want te save the price of their oper

Answers Twe Queries
Te the Editor of the Evening .Public Ledger:
Sir Possibly I can supply answers te two
of the queries In tonight's Evevine Pcnue
LKDarn. P-eplylng firs) te "C. L n.,"
there Is a statue of Lincoln emancipating
the slaves In Lincoln Park, at Twelfth and
East Capitel streets, Washington, D. C,
It being a replica of the original In Bos Bes Bos
eon, and marks a distance of one mile In
an easterly direction from the dome of the
Capitel.
The Walking Problem In order te aole
thl3 problem. It must be nssumed that the
person walking can see the sun for the
entire twelve hours, and realized also that
during a half-day the sun travels through
180 degrees, or one-half of a circle. A per
son alwajs facing the sun, whether he
stands still or moves, must, therefore, turn
his body through 180 degrees. It can easily
be shown by a diagram that the path taken
at constant speed will be a semicircle, the
length of which would be forty-eight miles,
at four miles per hour for tweHe hours
The entlre circumference would be ninety
six miles. Remembering then that the cir
cumference of any circle Is (approximately)
3 1-7 times the diameter, the diameter
proves te be almost exactly 80'4 miles, which
Is the distance that you will find your
self from the Alrdhnuse, and nu will also
be due south from the starting point

Derivation of "Slmoleen"
Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir What Is the derivation of the word
"slmoleen" as relating te money?
W. L n.
Philadelphia, November 25, 1020,
The word Is American slang. There la no
hint of Us derivation. It can only ..be
guessed a). It may be permissible te recall
that "slmen" Is English slang for a six
pence. Olve It an ornamental ending te

as conveyed by the expression "slmeu pure."
But men have always sought te call money
by some ether name, usually something
fanciful and mere or less humorous,
Wants Problem Solved
Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir I would appreclata It if one of your
People's Forum readers would solve the
following problem for me:
Twe trains are running en parallel
tracks at different rates of speed. When
going tn opposite directions they pass each
ethsr In three seconds. When moving In
the same direction the faster train passes
the ether In twelve seconds. What la the
rate of each If the trains are 200 and
152 feet long respectively? F. W J.

Te Dramatize Story
Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir If I wish te dramatize a story a
story which I read In a magazine would I
be compelled te get the author's consent, or
the publisher's, or both? Or could I simply
change the names of the characters and
Apply the plot te my purpose? Is there a
law against plagiarizing? Hew could I find
the author, In order te get his consent? If I
could net gain his consent, could I make
radical changes tn the story and dramatize
It with. Impunity? E. R. V
1. In buying a story publishers usually
ask the author te assign all rights te them
Yeu might succeed In changing the charac
ters enough te escape the consequences of
violating the copyright law, but seu would
also acquire an unsavory reputation, If net
be compelled te defend yourself In a suit
for copyright Infringement. 2 There Is no
criminal law against plagiarizing, but there
Is a copyright law. 3. Te secure the con
sent of the author, If you cannot find his
address, write te the magailne printing the
story and ask them te send the address te
you. 1. If the changes were sufficient te
alter the general character of the story you
would doubtless be safe,
