June 10. 121 RESPECT THE PARK FEW if any pleasure ground in tin- world nre so generously nml sympathetically conducted as Fairmount Park. "Keop-off-thc-grass'' signs nrc rare nml apply only to partictilitr areas under special cultivation. Such regulations ns are imposed nre void o the least suggestion of patronizing inter ference. Paris, famed for its, solicitude for popular enjoyment, sees fit to drum the public out of tho Tuilerlcs and the Gardens of thi Luxembourg every ovoniDg nt sunset. There are. spacious and shady squares In London -which nre actually locked up save to perons possessing inherited or acquired special privileges. No patron of Fairmount 1ms ever had to contend with the restrictions and inconveniences of a closing time. For these rensons nml mini) others the Tnrk Commission is well within its rights In counseling visitors to lespcct the respon sibilities with which they have been sc liberally intrusted. Picnickers and pleasure seekers nrc usually too thoughtless to be accounted vandals, and yet the trail of debris sometimes left by them is equivalent to the wreckage of ruthless invaders. At the commission meeting this week It was stated that repairs to pome 300 benches are necessary after a big Saturday or Sunday attendance. Shrubs, flowers and trees iin abused nnd trash is scattered everywhere save in the properly provided receptacles. A request to the superintendent of public Bchools stresses the need for an educational campaign to Inspire respect for public prop erty ns on" of the fundamentals of civic duty. The school assemblies on the Belmont pla teau hnve been particularly blamed bv Eli Kirk Price for indifference to tho primary obligations of neatness and order. It should not be difficult, if the suggested program is systematically carried out, to Convince the children that it is quite a wrong to throw rubbish and lunch remains about the Park lawns ns it Is to violate the codo of tidines nt home. Considering the immeasurable benefactions' contained in the foremost municipal park in the world, it is surely not too much to. solicit a decent mensure of nublie respect. A LAW THAT DEPRESSES TRADE HOWEVER well intended, the new pro portional immigration law lias already begun to operate in a manner which was, perhaps, but lightly regarded by the f ranters of the act. ' An instance of its effect is furnished by tho announcement that the large Italian liners Taormina and America, which have been calling at this port, have been diverted. As the allotment of immigrant!) for Phila delphia for the remainder of Juno is fhod at 630, the danger that established ratios of nationalities may be inadvertently ex ceeded is obvious. Loath to delve into the higher mathe matics of the problem, the Italian steamship officials have preferred to ignore it altogether. Hence no passenger ship from abroad will risit this port until the Haverford arrives In .Tuly. Similar drawbacks to commercial enter prise are probably being felt elsewhere throughout the Atlantic const region. The unfavorable effect on foreign trade suggest thnt wlille the motive in restricting immi gration was generally approved, the com plexity of the arrangement is so formidable. as to be stultlfjing to natural trade develop, ments. THE PERILS OF PEACE COLONEL (iALlIUAITII. bond of the American Legion, who was killed in an automobile accident nt Indianapolis, served more than a jear In France without serious Injury. He fought in the Argonne. H w-as in the St. Mihicl drive nnd he served on the Unccarut and Ypres-Lys sector. On one occasion he led his regiment through the German tire. Of course, the chances of death nie greater for a soldier in war than for a civilian in peaceful occupations but the amount of Ammunition that has to he fired to kill a rnau is surprising!!- large. It has been esti mated that for Hvcrv man killed In battle about his weight in lead Is used by the con tending armies. Colonel (ialbraiili is not the only man who passed through the war unharmed only to meet his death in an nccldent when he camn home. A Pliiladelphinn who went to France early in the war and drove an nm lmlance on all the fronts camn home for a rest, only to hove his face torn open in , an automobile accident. When be got out of tho hospital he went hnck to his ambu lance in France, "whore." lie said, "it is safer tlinn it is on the streets of I'litladel pbia;" MUSIC AT TWO FAIRS FOIt the Centennial In JTtl Itichnrd Wag ner composed a march of which he said that the onh thing good about it was the price which he was paid.

But nt thnt time musical appreciation in tho J'tiitcd States was in its infaner. The Uostou Sjmiihony dates Its history from 1881. Compositions npnrt from those of n purely "popular Htump" were deemed food for super-esthetes. Oddly enough, '70 wns the great year of the first production of "The King of tho Nlbching" in Hayreuth. America wns in terested In the sensational undertaking of a - musician regarded here chiefly, in the light of'a peculiarly persistent freak.

The Philadelphia Orchestra Association has offered its services for the appointment of n committee which shall have full charge, under the auspices of this organization, of all musical features nt the World's Fnlr of 11VJ0. There is no dubiety about the advantages of thii proposal. The struggle for culture which marked the exposition of forty-six years ago has 'given way to the certainty of sincere Interest. Mr. Stokowskl nnd his orchestra nre su prcmclv well iltted to set the standards of taste and achievement. The Orchestra As socintlon Is to bo congratulated upon Its prompt display of genuine municipal spirit, and the Nation may rest nssurod that there will be at the fair good music in the most satisfying abundance. THE DELAWARE BRIDGE IS ONE STEP NEARER Recommendation of the Race Street Site by the Engineers Awaits Approval by the Commission THE recommendation by the engineers of the rielawai'e Hirer Hridge Commission thnt the bridge be built between Knee street in this city and Pearl street in Camden puts t lie advocates of the other sites on the dc fensio. ' The engineers aro supposed to have ex amlned Into the feasibility of all available sites and they have doubtless done so. They hnve made borings in the river bottom where the piers must be built nnd have discovered the deptli to which tliey must go in order to reach bedrock. They have considered tho length of the span which can be built with the greatest economy. They have studied the movement of tratllc and the possibilities of opening adequate thoroughfares to tho approaches on both sides of the river. And they have done all this with n full senso of their responsibilities to provide accommo dation for traffic and to conserve tho public funds and to interfere as little as possiblo with established business enterprises. Their report will receive tho respectful consideration that it deserves. It will not be adopted by the commission, however, un til the people hnc hod nn opportunity to examine the plans in detail and until those who object to It have been cnlled upon to explain why some other plan would bo better. Samuel M. Vauclain, now a member of the commission, has been advocating 'a bridgo at Spring Garden street. Many things cin be said in support of it, nnd Mr. Vnuclnin will doubtless say them with all the per suasiveness for which he is noted. There nre also serious objections to the Vauclain proposition, the chief of which Is thnt it cnlls for n bridge too far north of Market street, with n terminal in Camden too far north, of the thoroughfares leading east and south into the interior of New Jersey. The site recommended by the engineers is about half way between Market nnd Spring Garden streets, nnd its approaches would be built on this side of tho river through n district very much like that through which It would be necessary to ap proach ii bridge nt Spring Garden street. The cost of condemnation of the land in each case would be about the same. The Kace street bridge, however, would terminate at Franklin Square, nn open space belonging to the city. The cost of lnnd needed for an adequate plaza there would lie much less than at the site favored by Mr. Vauclain. 15. U. Gillespie, chairman of the Bridge Cimmittoc of the Board of Trade, has been mging a bridge at. Market street with twin approaches one to Spruce street a'ud the other to Spring Garden street, with an esca lator for foot passengers at Market street. The obvious objections to this plan nre that it would Interfere with the ferry structures on this side of the river and thnt, unless the twin approaches nre mnde to divert vehicu lar traflic from Market street, it would in crease the congestion on a street that is already carrying ns much traffic as it can accommodate. The Laird plnn for a bridge with a ter minus at Washington Square puts a bridge about as far south of Market street as the Haco street bridge would be north of thnt street. Each bridge would end in a square owned h tho city and neither would inter fere with the ferries. The Laird bridge would enter Camden nearer tb main thor oughfares of that city, and would thus pro vide better service for motorenrs to nnd from Atlantic City. It is favored by many influ ential citizens of Camden and opposed by many influential citizens of Philadelphia. There must have been good rensons for its rejection by the engineers of the commis sion. These reasons may not seem valid to those who have beeu urging it, but that they will be thoroughly examined nt public hearings may be accepted as certain. Indeed, the discussion is likely to concern itself ultimately with the Franklin Squaro and the Washington Square sites to the ex clusion of the others A layman would find it difficult to decide between them. Tho engineers will, of course, defend their recom mendation They have the advantage over every one else of expert knowledge of the physical problems involved obtained by their long study of the question. The ndvocntes of any other plnu will find it necessary to meet the objections which led the engineers to l eject it. Tim great mass of people, however, who hae been waiting for a bridge will not h deeply concerned about the site so long as thev get the hridge. They will bn impatient if time is wasted bv a needless prolonging of hearings or In hesitation of the commission to i each a definite decision ns soon as possible after it has shown proper respect to the desire of the public to express itself on the subject. Tile money is nvnilnblo to pay for all the work that can be done for n year or two. The public is hoping thnt this mony will he used before it becomes neces sary to ask for additional appropriations. Tniess the work is pushed with speed 'w bridge cannot be completed in time for the Sesqut-Centennlal celebration in 1020. ICEBERG SEASON ACCORDING to Rear Admiral Chandler, head of the Naval Hydrographic Serv ice, natural conditions upon tho Atlantic markedly resemble thoso which prevailed in 1012 when the glaDt new liner Titanic wns sunk upon her maiden vojage. Rut if Nature is grimly repeating her self, it is a satisfaction to note that man is fighting her ruthless endeavors with nil tho resources at his command. Though not preciselv in its infancy nine years ago, wire less was tho safeguard chiefly of the larger types of vessels, and the Interchange of re ports upon berg conditions at sea had reached nothins HKe the proportions exist ing today How efficiently the radio, now installed on virtually all North Atlantic vesselsToTOOO tons nnd over, works has been demonstrated In tho instances of th0 Philadelphia-bound freighter Chariot and the British cargo ship Seapool, both of which have collided with big ice. Assistance has already been given the former vessel, while the latter, which is proceeding under lir own steam, is keeping the world well informed of her condition Both ships havel contributed valuable in formation upon thfi southward progress of Ice drift and flcnfcltlon of secure trans Atlantic routes at fchls season Is now possible- wTi,. '. .. Fog, Of C0tTSP?BWlll overturn uiv moat EVENING PUBLIC J-KDaER-l'l-IILADELPHTA, scieiitllio calculations, and Iceberg in the courses are perverse. No practical detection devices have yet been discovered. The sea will ever be mysterious, but wireless nnd the prompt co-operation of shipmasters cnu do much to modify those perils which for merly made mariners entirely helpless. THE CLEAN STREETS ISSUE AFTER the unquestionably batisfactory showing of efliclency made by Mayor Moore's Administration of municipal street cleaning in the two central districts this year, It is incoueclvabe that the city should go back to the old system of contracts ns n fixed or even n temporary policy. So .successful has been the experiment that It must be n hardy spollsmnn indeed who would dare to suggest abandoning the system. The question of which method should be followed thus being virtually settled, the only epiestion remaining for City Council to consider Is whether citywlde street cleaning tinder direct municipal operation shall be attempted October 1 or January 1. The former date is assigned In the draft ordinance now before Council with the request for ati adequate appropriation to tlnancn the pur chase of necessary equipment nnd supplies. As the matter stands. Mayor Moore nnd Director Cnven. under whose direction the work hns been inaugurated and performed, have declared in favor of the earlier date, and since they aro charged with the respon sibility of performance, their opinion ought to have predominating weight with Council. They have asked for the funds to go ahead; they are ready nml willing to assume the responsibility and It should be granted. Cautious scrutiny of possible legal com plications Is not undesirablo ; that is n per fectly proper attitude for administrative officials at all times. But since tho Mnyor and the Ditcctor arc both enthusiastically committed to municipal work as a fixed policy, and tliey nre the responsible admin istrators, Council ought not to put unneces sary obstacles in the way. The clauses in the present contracts pro viding for n termination on October 1 were fully discussed when the agreements were mnde before the first of the year. The con tractors were' put on full legal notice by the inclusion of these clauses, and by every rulo of logic nnd law they would be estopped from raising thnt issue if the option were properly exercised by the city. Failure to grant the request of the Mayor nnd tho Director for sanction In the form of appropriations to begin eitywide munici pal street cleaning on the earliest possible date would shift the responsibility of evading the plain mandate of the City Charter from the shoulders of the Administration squarely to those of the Coiinciluien themselves. The public is well satisfied with the re sults in tho two central districts, and ther Is no doubt thnt every taxpaver would be glad to have the benefits of the plan ex tended to every section of the town before midwinter makes the work more difficult to organize. The voters arc exceedingly touchy and sensitive upon this subject after year of suffering under the private contract schemes, nnd tire in no mood now to staud for further shuffling nnd shillyshallying. THESE MEN WERE CAUGHT THE dismissal of three policemen attached to the Twelfth District station house for their connection with an effort to bring whisky into the city will make the other policemen, if nn there be, interested lu protecting tho bootleggers a little more enre ful. They will sny to one another that it does not pay to get found out. Only the unsophisticated think that the police are ignonnnt of what the bootleggers nre doing. The fnilitre of some of tho offi cers to euforce the law is not due to their ignorance of its violation. If tliey would be frank they could explain why they are doing little. But it is not likely that they will do any explaining. SOBER SECOND THOUGHT NliW thnt passions have cooled. Tulsa is digesting some unpalatable facts. A Negro who stubbed his toe and grabbed at an elevator girl to right himself; u re porter who printed a sensational story of an "attack"'; faulty English which led to pro gressive hvsteria oji the part of the popu lace: which led, in its turn, to murder and nrson nnd so Tulsa's shame was proclaimed to the world. This tragic version of the story of tha Three Block Crows is destined to endure longer than the original. It is a parabln that lias for its moral the criminal fatuity of hi coming historical. It may be, as alleged in opposition quar ter, thnt Secretary Hughes' message to Private Properly Present Issue Mexico is n trifle dictatorial; but the fact siiouiu not oo lost sigut or nun recognition of a Government validates thp previous acts of a Government so recognized. If Uncle Sam wishes to put his foot down, this is assuredly the time to do It. So the skip-stop skips with glen nnd won't stop. Gasoline drops one rent a mere drop in the bucket. Would It be permissible to remark that Admiral Sims ib more successful as n saiior than as an orator? Republican factions probably burled the hatchet so that no George Washington would do damage to the plum tree. The lifting of the liquor ban for the benefit of Pueblo flood -nffprprs is going to provide lots of material for argument. And there is nluns possibility that Germany will grow rich paying her debts while the Allies remain poor spending money on armies to keep her eerlastingly at it. Women who favor the one-piece bath ing suit declare that it Is necessary to swim ming, as it gives tliem a chance to kick. But if they get what they want thej'll imvo no cause for n kit k. Chemists of the West Virginia Prohi bition Buieau reiently found half nil ounce of prusslc acid In a pint of moonshine whisky. That stuff .would surely make n man forget his troubles. Sims' trouble Is his inability to "keep things separate." Mr. pims Is entitled to any opinion he ares to entertain. Admiral Stms should have observed the amenities and put his country nbove his personal opinion. Tha probabilities nre that many per sonages will keep right on discovering that water w"ts, fue burns nml the Scsqul Centennial Is not merelv of local but of na tional, not to sa!

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Government So Busy Being a Father to Disabled Soldier Boys It Hasn't Time to Mother Them So 6no , Woman Does. It , By SARAH I). I.OWKIH TWO-THIRDS of the college boys whom one asks whnt they mean to be can't make up their minds. There is nothing surprising If within the somewhat limited field of their horizons they sec nothing that impels them as n life work. They have their father's business for one tiling, nnd that lias generally betrayed n seamy side either as not worth the struggle if their fnthers nrc overworked and poor, or too confining and beniimbins If their fathers nre overworked nnd rich. Moreover, to start In to work under the pnrentnl eye Is to'o much like nil that has gone beforo to exactl seem a novelty nnd n glorious enrcer. Resides, in the curious play nnd countcr-plav of influences that a son feels In bis home, ten to one his mother, without meaning to, has prejudiced him against his father as n person not nlwnys sntlsfnctory to have money relations with. Or If there is none of this undercurrent of prejudice, it sometimes happens the rela tionship as business associutc is nn impos sible one becnusc the father cannot get it into his head that the careless outh who has suddenly grown to look like n man is actually n man. He would sooner trust his office boy, who has to do a thing his way or leave, than his son. who probably has enough of his father in him to have n way of his own, BUT If It Is easy to turn one's back on one's father's enreer, choosing a sntis factory one for oneself is not easy. Be cause until j on have tried how can you know whnt you want to do, not to sneak o'f what you can do, especially as nothing thnt happens to you in your undergrndunte yenrs gives you any sense of being better nl one thing than another, unless you couht athletics F r This last was the way one boy summed It up, nt nil events, nnd I rnthcr think he spoke for the, ninjority. If healthy, sound young fellows feel nt loose ends on getting through college, whnt must be the sensations of the boyjf who nre dismissed from the nrmy these dns. sans n leg or arm or hand, or who nro blind or shell' shocked, with u new. enreer to make' out of the fag ends they have left? POSSIBLY the boy 'is sound of body, so far as appearances go. nml only threat ened with ill results if he icturns to his previous occupation. Perhaps he hns been n telegraph operator an indoor, nervous, confining job; the phjsical examination shows that he will be a menlnl wreck if he goes hack lo that after shell shock. He must find nn out-door job that is not likely lo strain him nervous; Dow is lie to de termine what nnd where that is? Every day counts, for he probably has some on'o dependent on him. He nppeals to the Gov ernment that has pledged itself ready to help him get into harness again.. but the question for him and for tho Government is.f whnt linrncs.s? Tho nppcnl to the Government goes through the Red Cross Bureau, where the disabled soldier files a report, giving his record, bis disabilities ami his Intentions. I'l-oin the Red Cross Bureau bo goes to tho Public Health Bureau to be examined nnd clossliieil for compeiisdtion. There are two classes, of disabled soldiers, the second nnd the third. A soldier allotted to tho second class is entitled to 100 u month during a specified period of time. If he bus a wife an addi tional ?.!,, n month is added, if he has a mother to support an additional SHO n mouth. Each child under ago will bring him an ndditional S10. A disabled soldier of tbe third class re ceives only a training for future occupations without a money allowance. As soon as tbe examiners at tho Bureau of Health have diagnosed his condition nnd .specified what types of labor he is safe to try and whnt not lie is passed on to the redernl Board. Reforo the officers of the Federal Board he makes a request for training in nn occu pation that will eventuallv support hint. It is just at this point that he needs help eight times out of ten. I WAS talking to n womnn the other day who 1ms given some .'!00 disabled soldiers help in just this dilemma. This woman is Mrs George Lning. Like most persons who hi their job, she just naturally enmo bv hers from being ready to do the next thing 'with out much thought of the consequences to herself She was on the woman's nuxllinrv to the Federal Hoard during tho wnr, anil knowing the ropes by that experience got into the kind way of showing thoso who worn strange and shv among tho disabled soldiers tbn way to get what the Govern ment was ready to give for tho asking, if only the asking was done according to form nnd with the red tape all attended to. Having begun by befriending a voung chap here and there, ber task has now grown bojotid her single power to cope with it, for the boys whom she had helped over their hard stiles sent still other boys to her. V hat they want mon is to talk it all over and weigh tho pros and cons for this life work or that with some one who has a knack of listening and putting the right word in now and again, nnd somehow of guiding without dictating. First they tall, over what the chap used to do and can now do no longer. Then thev discuss the things thnt a fellow without a leg or without a hand or with tubercular tendencies or with broken nerves con do. Then they look over the particular nnnn- ing that seems on the whole to promise best. Then they find out together how one may learn thnt trada or profession, and where. TnE Government Is glad enough to have all this sensible nnd kindly thrashing out done, for It can onlv be n father to the disabled soldier and set him up in business; being a mother is not much in tho Gov ernments hue. During the period of study, and the ofter period of turning thnt study to account, these wards of tho (i0 eminent turn otico more to Mrs. Lning lo report progress, to report discouragement, to report worrv very often about tlieir families.

KINGSLEY On Practical Welfare Work GIVING alms to beggars only serves to thwart the purposes of charitabln or ganizations which seek to rehabilitate in jured people anil give them n self-respecting menus of support, nccording to Sherman C. Kinpsley. executive secretary of the Wel fare Federation of Philadelphia, l.r00 Spruco street. "1 don't mean that all beggars aro not deserving of sympathy," said Mr. Kings ley, "but the giving to those who exhibit injured parts of their bodv, seeking public sympathy, Is the least satisfactory method of dealing with the question. It is nlso the most expensive for the general public and accomplishes nothing oilier than the en couragement of the practice. "You've hoard tlln story of the man who was running for the ferry. He got aboard just In time nnd leaned ngniust tho railing in u helpless and exhausted manner with his hat in his hand. People nearby began droo ping money in the bat. That was the foundntion of his fortune. "Heggars arc nothing more than para sites on society. They vo found that it's far easier to go out on tho street and make ii living than by self-respecting labor. Plarc Even for Handicapped "In n way, it's society's own fault. The old attitude was that n man once Injured by the. loss of bis sicht or an arm or leg was no longer able to work. Society's attitude Is changing nnd charitable organizations nro doing their utmost for this class of people. "Hut they can't help the man or woninp. as the enso may be, unless the individual is willing to bo helped. As long ns there remains a vestige of character and moral fiber in tho injured individual the organiza tion can help. I havo personally dealt with many people who have been permanently injured and us long as they had any char acter something could be done for them. "The greatest trouble is that possibly while under the cam of an organization tho individual mny discover ho can make an easier living by begging on the streets. Ho may get out of touch with the organization and become a parasite, ou tho public who also supports tho organization which wns helping him. "Tin- charitably inclined person should deal with the association whose purpose is to help disabled people Notify them that nt a certain time nud place an Individual was seen. The proper authorities will in vestigate omi offer training for self-support.

HUMANISMS By WILLIAM ATIIERTON DU PUY. ONE of the most remarkable things about men. bo tliey of higli or low estate, Is that they never grow up. Take, for Instance, thnt group of elder statesmen in the United States Senate. Hero is tho trick they were cnught playing on Sims, tln old Negro barber at the Capitol, who has been shnving them and their kind fur .forty years, Sims is a preacher and great biblical au thority when he is not shaving Senators. Ho is profoundly religious. He has confidence in lils fellows; So, when Senator Harry New, of Indiana, told Sims that he bad a present for him, the venerable barber walked into the trap all unsuspecting. The Senator said he wanted to bestow his present in private. Ho and Sims went into nn iiuteicioin. The Senator squatted down and Sims did likewise. The Senator took from his pocket n large-sized pair of dice and rolled them out on tho carpet. Sims, watched. At Just this moment a group of Senators, in the plot with New, hurst into tho room. I here, apparently, were Senntor New and the old barber, despite his protestations of religion, shooting crops. The statesmen were horrified. An employu of tho Senate had been caught gambling. Sims, of all men, had gone wrong niter forty years; Sims, whom they trusted implicitly. It was n case that called for drastic action. Dr. Robert Koch, of Germany, tho dis coveier of the relation thnt tho bnclllus hns to tuberculosis, visited Dr. II. M. Biggs, pf the New York Bureau of Health, away back in the nineties. "We have disclosed the scientific princl pie, he said, "and wo nro wnitlng for you Americans to show us how to use it." Sure enough, the United States has led the world ever since in the development of methods for preventing the spread of tuber I ulosis A little while later Europe developed an tin oxin for diphtheria, the most perfect antitoxin vet discovered. It used to cost .V-'.i an injection. winu X?lv Yor,k "l'rpi" of Health sent Dr. William II.
