WHY NOT ARCADES?
TT IS sowrnl years since the roiulwny In
South riftecnth street between Mnrket
street and South l'ciin .square wns widened
by the remoial of the sidewalk to the build
ing lino mid by placing a new sidewalk
under mi arcade in the sttect front of the
Conunercinl Trust Company's building.
The experiment in street widening thus
begun has been Ignored until this week, when
the conimiUeo on public works of the Coun
cil approved nn ordinance providing for
widening Fifteenth street from South Peiin
npiarc to Chestnut
It is understood that the widening1 plans
fnvored In the coinmlttce provide for con
tinuing the mcade as far ns Chestnut
street and for letuoving the existing side
walk mid adding the space to the roadway.
This project is complicated by the desire
of the pouncllineii back of It for the erection
of n City Hall Annex between Chestnut
street and South Pcnn square
It is not necessary to go into the merits
of this phnse of the proposition. Hut it is
dosirnblc to call intention to the feasibility
of arcading the sulewnlks on the narrow
streets as the least expetispo method of
relieving trntlic congestion.
This is nn expedient much mnimoner in
lluropoan cities than in the I'liiled States.
Visitors to 1'nris nro fnmiliar with the
nrcaile rm the Kiip do Itixoli. and they hnvp
been impressed by its benulv as well ns by
the comfort nfforded to pedestrians iu tin
pleasant went her Similar nrcaded streets
in Itnlinn and Spanish cities nl-o conic to
tmnd. I'ut in spite of their oliimus advan
tages in the older Americnn ities. there
has been no attempt to introduce them cx
tciisiioly here.
One has onlv to look nt the east side nf
Fifteenth street adjoining the Commercial
Trust building to see the effect. The side
walk hns been removed for onlv a Fhort
half block, but It gives nn effect of spneious
ness emphasizing the narrowness of tbo
roadway beyond.
I'ut no general nrending plan can be
e.irrnd out until the people haw- been
pr pared by long discussion. Few property
own. rs affected will favor such a plan when
first proposed because it decreases ground
llnoi areas. The point is whether the pub
In ied of wider streets is greater than the
nn oiii enience to property on in is.
HOUSEMAIDS AS SOCIAL EQUALS
A.MI'ItlCAN women who nnd help In
inring for their homos will In mien sled

Sunn- families there ill need of -iii.ints de
cided to advertise for "ladies who hud do
mestic , vperieiice and weie forcnl to earn
a lmiie " They got many an-wers nnd
selected from the applicants their cups of
household sernnts.
The experiment has worked si -.fully,
pviib nt ly. because the employer wa- u
woman who could put herself in the place
of iln needy women who ere helping her.
These nomin had friends in the neighbor
hood w bo received them socially on their
day off. and the employer occasionally met
the housemaid" ns a guest at tin- liousi

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Work of the Philadelphia Council of
Jewish Women Is Big Factor In
Americanization of Aliens
Hy smiaii i). i.owim;
DI HINf! the second I.lbertv Loan it
chnnced that my pnrt on the woman's
committee, which was installed on the
ground floor of the Illtz-Cnrltoii. consisted
In receiving subscriptions which t lie women
collected through their vnrinnn societies. I
wns Interested In those brought In by two
well-known women by the thousands of dnl
fars because the names were ninny of them
foreign, some slightly Americanized, some
slightly Teutonlzeil, but many of them end
ing in "it" with what seemed to me a
PolWh or per Imps a Russian quality.
After a number of days it suddenly dawned
upon me that they were nil .Jewish names
(toldsinltli, Weinrlch, Drelfus, I.ippmnn,
1'liegelinnn. Hansiihof, llronner. tiiitholn,
Moos. J.ocheiin, Marrowitz. (ioreckl, Klinkn,
Caplnnskl. etc. And (hen examining the
addresses of the llusslnn nml Polish sub
scribers nml comparing tlieni with the more
familiar Americnnled ones I became be
wildered at the activity of the two women
who were doing the collecting. It seemed
impossible they could cover such varied sec
tions of the town, or gain the confidence of
so"lnrge n number of very generous sub
scribers. Sosliiinll.v I gnthered courage to
nsk one of them how in the world she man
aged. It was then she told me, not without
humor at nn Ignorance, thnt she nnd her
fellow -collector were bucked by the great
organUntloii of the Philadelphia Council of
.Jewish Women, which hnd set all Its agen
cies to work to cover the .Jpwisli population
of thp town for (he purpose of helping to
make the Liberty lian n success.
SI.NCi: then
ninnv of l
1 hnve rome in rnnliict with
and with other of Its works, and it strikes
me as a very remarkable organization both
ns to its pain phn and its accomplishments.
I luippenid In meet Mrs. Mux Mnrgolis nt
the Aioin Club, nnd finding thnt s,e was the
chief cxeciitiie of the council 1 piled her
with questions
I hnd been stunk earlier in the year by
what seemed to me the grent wealth of the
members, to judge by their beautiful clothes,
furs, paradise plumes nnd general nlr of
festivity. Jt was n gathering nt the Mer
cantile Club auditorium on North Ilroad
street, nn entertainment that combined n
reception, mi and a pageant, nnd a xery
touching appeal for Polish Jewish orphans
and what appeared to he n very generous
(ollectlon. Cert -unly in no other slithering
of women in Philadelphia have I seen so
many beautiful women or such 'harming,
daring costumes
Mrs. Mnrgolis assured me. however, thnt
I was inisinken about the rntincil's being
nuidc up of plutoi rats. On the contrary, she
said it was th' nmst demociatic organization
in town, tor lis 11,1111 members comprise
women ,.f everv nail; in life and of every
shade of .Jewish belief. It seemed tu mo
impnssiMe ii) ii orthodox- nnd Hefurinei
sects could gather within one society, or
that the nenh arrived Kti-sian immi
grant could hi made to feel at home viith
the settled and superprosperous Ameiican
.Jewess, but apparently the thing winks,
thanks no doubt to the tact of its lcideis,

yeais ago wen' those well-knoviu nml
mui h npprei iaiul ladies, the Misses Cohen
mid Miss .Mnideeai. They were themselves
Orthodox, nnd possibly ever since, iu this
city nt leiisi. the council has shown n trend
that way. though nut enough to make (he
reformed .lens feel overwhelmed or made
little of. In fad. I fancy peace reigns on
nil religious topics exceut Zionism, toward
which at present the Jewish mind se.-m- to

seen bv Dr. Janios M. Anders,
chairman ot tne riinnc iieiino w,u ......
mittee and prominent physician of the city,
in the nununl observnnee of such a day.
"We have good , teasotis." said Dr.
Anders, "for believing thnt the nnnunl celc
bratlou of suih a day Is popularizing ihe
inoveinent now on for raising the health
standards of the community, and that it
serves to impress upon the public mind In
a peculiar way the great value of u knowl
edge of pei-sonn! hygiene and proper sani
tation. , . .
"Philndolplmi enjoys ihe distinction of
being the only lnige eitv that annunlly ob
serves n public health dnv. Without doubt,
a eitv can nttnin real pfiieienej in the im
portant matter of sanitation only when
backed up bv a favorable public sentiment
which this health day will. It is Imped,
aid in bringing about.
"The Department ('J Health, so ably pie
sided over bv Dr. Fiirbush. is aiming to
bring nhout physical times, which is recog
nized as a icqiilslte for eflieient civn- per
formance, but to accomplish its task this
department must hnve public co-operation.
We no longer expect tlio Department of
Health and our public nml paim hial
schools lo i any on the whole work of in
structing the community in personal hv
gleno and sanitation, but a pm I Inn ol the
burden should be borne by civic, medlcnl

that the immense muiorilv of these defects

I urn to health I'diicaiion, which should he.
gin virtually nt birth, and be lontinued m
our schools, our colleges and universities.
"It was shown additionally during the
war that the manufacturing states of New
Fngund nnd the Fast made the worst show
ing In tlie physhnl oxnmiuiitlons for mili
tary servbe. The principal cnuse for this
state of things s lack of health supervision
ot ihe employes. Virtually nl! employers

among their employes hne found that the
plan has resulted in greater nnd more elh
