Business Men and Honesty Te Ihe Editor e) the Evenina Public Ledger: Sir Hecenlly I heard a talk by a promi nent bunker en wUtt business men cspect young men te knew, In which great atresa s laid en the honesty of business men. I de net Mleve that, as the banker aald, honesty Is the rule In business. There are some financially successtul men who arc honest, but In the career of nearly every successtul business man there has come a time, and usually mere than ene time, when he has had te cheese between .strict honesty and p-rsenal less en .the one hand and a ehady transaction resulting In gain en tha ether ,. Hirhaps at one time honesty was consld censld ered the best policy. At any rate, It la out ef date new. The theory that In business It Is Increasing Is contrary te logic and te experience Competition Is fiercer every day, nd the harder jeu have te fight te win the Usi attention you pay te the rules. . . ... ... . ., n,,.. m.a i onsieer a common iiiusiruei. w ,ua snd the Crajs arc baseball or football rivals. In the first game of baseball the Illues' star pitcher walks away with the game by an nttrwhelmlng score. In the second game the teams are mere eenly matched. The gsme gees Inte extra Innings, both sides etrMng with might and main te win. In this game, naturally, mere se than In-the first each sldn will take advantage of op ep op rertunltlei whcnecr possible, and will In dulge In such unsportsmnnllke tricks as hiding the bull, ba'tlng the umpire and steal ing signals, because the competition la keener My lews are net all theory. I have worked for a UUng several years, much of the time as confidential secretary te various successtul business men, and I have aeen many things that were denied the knowledege et ether empleyes. These things have made me peislmlstlc about business, nnd have caused me te regard the ordinary man aa a s.ekrr atter aeir-agtrandleme.nt at the ex pense or humanity There are exceptions, snd fine ones, tee. but they only prove the rule , It would he Interesting and enlightening for some jeung and ambitious fellow with l!fls te get up and glve people with pie pie pie thorle "wads" n lecture en what the young rrnn entering business expects of his cm cm plejcr C O, M, Philadelphia November 20. 1020. Sing Mere American Songe 3 the I'fiitnr of thr Evening Public Ledger;. Sir What Is the reason that the majority ef m;r American singers insist In singing at concerts norms written by ferelgnera? A erleua effort has been, and Is being, made te hae grand opera In Kngllsh, se that the sudlrnce can understand It, hut the crltl clsm Is usually fortluemlng that It Is dif ficult te get a fluent translation. This may re true Hut hew about our American" song writers? They write music te fit the Bng Hsh words, nnd some of the finest songs In the world are by American composers nut many of our singers Ignore this fact and Insist en singing songs from the German, the Trench or from any country hut their wir Patriotism should prompt them te de otherwise, but they seem te think It la jmart te see printed en the program, "Songs from the German," ete. . .k auiilence "ever understands the words these foreign songs, and much of the T.U of balIai1 lnln- l In the under. standing of the words A singer comes out rw warbles something from the German, ?.Mi! .au2'ence '" ,net " "he Is h. ifHf ih adv"rf"" of the lark or oiling n ?."'

Ex-8ervlce Man Complaint Te tha .'dller of (he Evening PuV.'e UAeer: Sir t should Ilka te make an appeal te 'ou. as well as te all newspapers, te be a little mers generous In J'eur treatment of the ex-seVvlce men ln emphasizing the fact In the "publication of a crime that It was an "ex-service" man who did it. Your paper has offended Very little In this respect In comparison with some. of the ethers, and I, an well aa ... ex-service men. de net feel that It Is really necessary te Include In the printing; et the newa from day te day that the fact that an ex-service man did wrong should be given special prominence In the head line and In the article. In alt fair ness te the law-abiding ex-service men I think the newspapers should ceasa te print headlines or ether matter which la derogatory te thm as a class. U n. l'ALMEIt Philadelphia, November 28, 1020. Christmas Cheer for the Peer Te the Editor et the EvenlnoPublle Ledger: Sir It may seen, a little 'early te make any Christmas suggestion te your readers, but I think they should already be laying their plans as te hew best they can celebrate this year the birth of our Saviour. It Is the most glorious event In the history of the world, and It should be becomingly celebrated ln a way that the most geed can be done and the most pleasure derived. Te my mind the poorest ktnd of a Christ mas Is p. selfish Christmas, one In which donor nnd beneflclary simply make an ex change of gifts generally of an equal com mercial value, and In the home. The home Christmas Is net alone the way te celebrata the day., but It should be celebrated In a mere general way by the distribution et gifts among these who are tee peer In them self, te provide any Christmas and must de pend en you for whatever Jey they arc te realize. Have you ever tried te act Santa Cla-js outside of your own family. If you have net you have never enjoyed fully the meaning of Christmas. Try. it this year. It will depend entirely upon your means as te the extent. There are various charitable organizations who depend entirely upon the public for do de do nktlena te carry the spirit of Christmas Inte the homes et thousands where peerty prevents any observance of the day unless you help te provide It. Or If you want still firther te enter Inte the spirit, then secure from one of these or er or ganisateons the names of needy families or children who are shut-Ins or tee peer te have their parents provide any Christmas for them and go personally and distribute presents among them. Yeu wl'l feel a thrill In se doing such as you never felt before, and you will then, probably for the first time, fully realize what C'irlstmas means. Try It for once et least, but I can assure, you that you will never again let a Christ mas pass without your taking a mere liberal view of It and making It a broader ebserv ance than Just confined te the home. MRS. W. 1. MUluua. Philadelphia, November 28. 1020. The Breaking of Hearts Te the Editor c the Evenina PuMIc Ledue'. Sir A man or woman steals a few dol lars and It means a penal sentence, but a marr or woman breaks a human heart, ruins a human life, turns children Inte the streets or sweat-shops without an op portunity of education or advancement, se he and she can enjoy Ufa with the "pas sion companion," They care nothing for the broken home, the rulnvd life of the one who has remained faithful te the mar riage ewe or the disgrace their action brings en the Innocent children Intrusted te their care. When things are called by their proper names and men and women who perform Irr this fashion are socially ruined, se that no divorce and remarriage te- the "soul-mate" will reinstate them, and are put en the some level with any ether common thief, there will be fewer broken homes and hearts, wrecked lives, suffering children and cause for charities te work overtime. MllS. W. U T. Philadelphia, November 28, 1020. Questions Answered Who Are Pennsylvania Dutch? Te the Editor of the Evening ' PubUo'Ledetr, Sir who are the Pennsylvania Dutch and from what part of Europe principally did they emigrate? B. R. MALCOLM. Philadelphia, November 24, 1020. There are no "Pennsylvania Dutch" as a distinct class In Pennsylvania. The Penn sylvania rjerman, however, has been for nearly two centuries a marked Individual ity and a pewerful constructtve force In the history and upbuilding of this state. There never has been a perceptible Imml grattqn of Dutch from the Netherlands Inte Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Oermana came from the Palatlnate, and their language or rather dlaleet Is that of lower Germany. The earliest arrivals were possibly the re llgleus recluses cf the Wlssahlcken prier te Penn'a, arrival. Shortly after renn came In 10R2 a settlement was made In Oermantewn. A large party of Germans settled In Pennsylvania .n 1700 nnd from that time up te 1705, and even later, there was a steady stream of immigration. The revocation of the edict of Nantei drove thousands of these Germans te Cng. land, and Queen Anne made great efforts te alleviate their sufferings, spending thou, sands of pounds of her own private for tune In their behalf. Tha religious perse perse cutlens which followed the revocation forced thousands of them. with thelr Huguenot fellow sufferers, upon England, und the Influx of a foreign-speaking, poverty, stricken pejple became a menace te the English through overcrowding. Many were sent te Ireland and ethers were transported te the colony of yJew Yerk nnd sttled In the Mohawk valley. Disputes with the Dutch settlers In this section of the land caused many of them te trjvel overland te Tenn ajlvanla, where '.hey settled at various points. Including the family of the cele brated Cenrad Wclscr. Solution te Blrdhouse Problem Te the Editor of the fienlng Public Ledger' Sir Regarding the problem submitted by C U. Schwartz In the Evenuse Posits I.KDflga's edition of the 2nth Inst,, the an swer seems te be as follews: Schwartz starts at 0 a. m. from the bird house, and with his face directly In front of the sun in ether words, his back Is te the sun He walks six hours at the rate of four miles per hour and ceers twenty four miles, at which period It Is neon and the sun Is directly overhead. He must then turn around, In order te keep his face di rectly In front of the sun, and walks six hours mere, covering twenty-four miles te ft p. m . nnd finds himself back te the bird house where he started from. Reading this problem hastily. It may preve a catch problem, se Mr. Schwartz had better come across with something deeper say, for Instance, What's what? or. When does prohibition start? J C KEESriERRY. Philadelphia, November 20, 1020. Napeleon's Height Te the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Hew tall was Napeleon Bonaparte? The articles I can find regarding him speak of htm aa a small man, but de net give his height C. C. E. Philadelphia. November 28, 1020, One authority gives his height as five feet sight Inches and another as five feet six irehes, The Camera Used Te the Editor of Ihe Kvenliia Publle Ledger: Sir A friend of mine nnd myself are having an argument concerning that auto camera which you use for accidents and such. I say 11 Is used as a dark room te develop and print pictures snapped et accidents, etc., in order te quicken picture service. My friend sajs the eamera Is a real ene and takes pictures itself. FRANK WALDMAN. Philadelphia. November 25, 1020. - With regard te cameras used for rush work en newspapers, a regular reflecting or ordinary typa of camera Is used for this work. In a way, afctmera Is a dark box. from which all' light Is excluded except that admitted by the lens during exposure. The, printing and developing are dena ln the office dark room after the return from the accident or whatever event has been photographed. There is nethtnr autematle about the operation.

"He gees through the town and he whis tles 14 down, He's doing the best that he cant He'd better be dead, then It could be said: He a at rest new, that peer married man." C. Ii. E.

The small vexations that se grleve and fret, Tomorrow they will vanish Inte air; Then smile, dear heart, Just smile and then forget. And If today the skies are overcast, Somewhere, we knew the sun is shining still; Its silver radiance brims the lowering clouds And we may catch Its glory If we will. And It Is geed te strive though we should fall, And geed It Is te surfer and be strong. And If we lift our faces te the light The darkest day will ring te evensong. And when our feet are weary, and the read Mere toilsome seems with every passing eay. Te share our every burden, little heart, The Helper walks beside us all the way. "C. O. T."
