To Relieve American Unemployed
fa lte Editor of thevenlng Publlo Ledger:
Sir I recently received requeeta for con
trlbutlone to the' China,' Central Europe and
Armenian relief, I responded to all these
requeats aa UberallyV as my means would
rermlt. Teaterday I read a news Item
about a man In Philadelphia committing
suicide because of Inability to find employ
ment and with eviction and starvation fac
ing hts family.
These caaes are not rare In these days.
Doubtless them 'are hundreds of others who
htve almost reached the aulclds state from
the aamo cause a. It seems to me that thers
la something wrong with the Christian char
ity ef a nation that can see and remedy
the deplorable conditions In China, Central
Europe and Armenia, and apparently Is un
aware of the deplorable conditions at home.
Stdllstlca ahow tbat more than a million
peosle are out of employment In the United
Htatta, and apparently nothing worthy of
rnle has been dona to tide them over till
they can get employment again. It la a
heme and a dtagraca to thla nation.
There should bo a governmental system
ot relief In such cases, net to provide mero
charity, which too often pauperizes, but em
ployment on state or city public works at
rates not so high as to draw men from
other employment, but at least enough to
t.tep the man and hts family from abso
lute want till ho can get other employment.

Ocntlemen Aa all of you are the powera

to two appropriations which In the past

t'll Investigation conducted by the women's

attempt to cripple our schools In tho pre

The Magic Square Problem
To the Editor of the Evening PuMfo Ledger:
Sir I aee In tonight's paper that II.
T. Patterson, Jr., has sent in another
magic square problem, containing 121
blocks. Now Mr, Patterson und another cor
respondent, whose query was publishes.
March 12, have, as they both state, tnw
to the solution of thcie squares, but the
majority ot thorn who have solved ithem do
not know It, andlt was to those that I spe
cially wanted my query to reach.
When you know the system the solution
is practically simple, but for those who do
not know It tho solution requires them to
brush the dust from their bralna.

Xow I wilt disclose the system:
Flrat. No matter ho-v high the number of
the small blocks In the square, one line of
them, that la the square root of tho whole,
must be an uneven number.
Second. The central number, which. In
Mr. Patterson's problem is 01, multiplied
by tbe number of blocks In one line, In thla
problem 11, glvea the sum ot the vertl
cala, horlzontala and diagonals 071.
To start, -place 1 In the middle ot the
top line, movo toward the reader's right ono
column and drop to the bottom of the square;
now work on a diagonal from lower and left
toward the upper und rinht sides, putting
the figures down In sequence, we have 2, 3,
4, B, 0; thru go over to the left side one
line above, and start again. 7, H, 0, 10, 11,
As the number 1 prevents tho movement fur
ther, drop one line and keep on with tho
same method as before: Loner left to upper
right If the reader vv 111 follow tho numbers
lr) sequence In the square he will notice these
facts: First. That when thn sequence hits
the right side it begins again one column
higher, and on the left side. Second. When
the sequetico ttocs nt the top It starts again
one column to the right and at the bottom,
One exception Is made, where 60 occuru, as
It neither can move up nor over one column,
It drops one block to 67 and then moves
up one block and at the left. Following
the rulci already stated, it drops to the
bottom one line over and continues as be
tore That exception occurs, however, In
eviry upper right corner of every "maglo
square." Third Where the sequence la
Interfered by a number already placed it
drops to tho square directly beneath unu
then continues. Fourth, The finish la nt the
bottom of the column where the start was
made.'
Hoping thl explanation will suffice and
that It is sufficiently plain to thn curious,

A FRIEND OR TW
llere's all of pleasure and all of pesos
In a friend or twoj
And all our troubles may find reUaa
With a friend or two:
It's In the grip of tho clnsplnsr hand,
On native bcI'. or tn nlK'i land,
liut the wor'd Is mad--do jou understand?
Of a friend or twe,
A urine to sing and a crust to shme
With a frlnd or two:
A smile to gtvn and a grief to bear
With a friend or two,
A road to Vallc and a goal to win,
An Ingfenook to find comfort in:
Ten gladdest hours that wo know begin
With a friend or two; -
A little laughter, perhaps some tears.
With a friend or two:
The days, the weeks and the months and
yeara,
With a friend or two:
A rale to croaa and a hill to climb.
A mock at age and a Jeer at t'yne,
Tbe prose of life takes the tilt ot rhyme.
With a fr'end or two.
Tho brothor-soul and tho brother-heart
Of a friend or two:
Make us drift nt from the crowd apart
With a friend or two;
For come daya happy, or come days sad,
tVe count no houra but the ones made clad
Hy the hale good times wo havo over had
With a friend or two.
Then brtng the goblot and quaff the toast
To a friend or two:
For glad the man who can always boast
Of n, friend or two.
The falreat sight ia a friendly faco,
The blithest tread la a frlr-ndly pace,
And heaven will bo a better place
Tor a friend or two
