HARDING'S BRIGHT YOUNG MEN ARE A TRIAL TO WASHINGTON Naturally, In a Procession of Sleep walkers, They Are Accused of Ex ceeding the Speed Limit "7"Cil do not need a telii scope to see, r.cu JL from this distance, that the summer has been completely spoiled for the Upper Po litical Set and the Rrotherhood of Elder Statesmen at Washington and that tho win ter is becioiini; for them a matter of nuxious doubt. For the air is tilled with the Miunds and suggestions of consistent toil. 'I he sleepwalkers in the Senate nnd the House and the various governmental depart ments have been demanding to know the origin of this unrest and the names of the joykillers who.se irreverent stirrings-nbout disturbed their immemorial slumber. And their angry stare is focused nt thp moment upon Mr. Harding s s.pmd of P.right Young Min. mi the levolutionists like Mr. Hoover and Mr Deiibv. Washington is beginning to daikl.v suspect that ev. n Mr. Hughes has gone over to play with these rude persons, these daugeious nnd unmanageable recruits from aln n and untutored tribes. Hoover has already been indicted as the chief disturber of the peace. The mere men tion of his name causes an organ-like diapason of woe at the lower end of Penn sylvania avenue. Didn't Hoover make Senator Frelinghuysen wild? Didn't he make Senator Frelinghuysen bold and vocal, and didn't he fend him forth, club in hand, after the coal barons? Hasn't hp already shaken the foundations of the old secret relationships between Government nnd big business'.' A twin-ix sort of person is this Hoover; quiet but fast : a man who 1ms a vast sup ply of leserve eneigy and seems uuable to keep his foot off the gas. He is suspected of working dark magics in the mind of Mr. Harding. Certainly his dust is all over the sdago-couohes. Then there is Penhy. who hustles night and morn in a most un-Wa-hington-like way to siiuei e nccumuhiti d nonsense out of the navy and make the admirals b'l.avo. And Hughes! What has happened to Hughes? Hughe.- has had the audacity to compel the Senite to understand that he. and not Senator Lodge, ia Secretary of State. Mol.shevisni. of cour-e! The Elder Statesmen might have forgiven the President for Hughes ami Denby and even for Hoover had it not been for Dawes General Charles G. Hell-und Maria Dawes, of Chicago ami France; Dawes the politi cian hater. Dawes the e'oquent. Dawes the impossible. Daw. s the fool-killer. The arrival of Dawes in Washington nt the sum mons of the President is regarded m c n gress as nothing less than nn administrative atrocity. Dawes is the sort of man who listens with a pained expulsion to n. Senate speech and wip'es hi brow and encs impatiently : "Yes, vos ; Rut uhat's it about? Tell me, for God's sake, what's it for'" and fieos to the open air. A most undesirable man '. When he was summoned to Washington to revise the ustim of Government nlief for soldiers lie didn't unit to be feted by the Chamber of Commerce nnd the old -home folk and the frat-rnal ord. rs and the Indies' auxiliaries and to make speeches Within about thirty-six lours D.iw.-s the Impossible was in Washington He said. "Hello. Hci bert'" to Mr Hoover and Mr. Hoover said, "Hello, lieneral!" Then these two dan gerous persons nt down together, nnd in another thirty-six bouts or so President Harding received ..u outline of the Dawes pro-'iam for .piick and ellici. nt soldier relief ('elrritv and dctinitcnrs of tl at son i v.ew.d in Washington as impious.

THE McCOACH SCANDAL THERE was nothing else for Major Moore to do when he ordered Cltv Solicitor Smyth to appeal from Judge Rogers' deci sion restoring foitner Police Captain Me Coach to the force. MeCoach was removed on charges after a trial before the Civil Service Commission, nt which he was proved guilty of neglect, inefficiency nnd disobedience. He made t defense, but the evidence was regarded as sufficient to warrant his removal. He appealed to the Court for reinstate ment. Judge Rogers has granted the np peal, on the ground thnt the testimony sub mitted to the Civil Service Commission was inadequate to support its conclusions. The issue in this case Is whether the Mayor has the power to bring about the removal of police officers who arc unfaithful to their trust. It may be that the law is such thnt he has not thnt power. If this shall be proved by the outcome of the appenl to the higher courts, then the law should be amended. Unfortunately, the Civil Service Law is based on the assumption that an appointing officer can be trusted neither to select capa ble men for office nor to keep capable men in office "whom some one else lias appointed. It has been used in this city and in other cities to protect incompetent nnd crooked men. The Mayors have dismissed such nnd have proved their charges against them be fore the trial board. Rut the accused have taken their cases before the courts and in virtuall.v every inse In which flagrant crime was not proved the accused has been reinstated and with an order to receive back salary from the date of dismissal. This sort of thing is subversive of disci pline. It gives to n policeman a vested right in his office and it enables politicians on the outs to frustrate the reform purposed of politicians in office. It is notorious that there are many men in the police and other departments in this city who nre not working in harmony with the Mayor. If they were in any private employment nnd were working against their superiors they would be summarily dismissed for insiib-irdinntion, even though specific evidence of overt acts was lacking. Rut the Major tun) it difficult fo iM rid of the trouble makers That difficulty has been made greater bv the ruling of Judge Rogers in the case of McConch. If a man found guilty of the offenses proved against MeCoach before the Civil Service Commission can find a Judge to order his reinstatement, the men truilly of lesser offenses will take heart and laugh at the iinpotem e of the Mayor. There can he little hope for radical re form until the disciplinary power of the Mayor is guaranteed b,v law. A bad Mayor might abuse his power, but the lack of power will hamper the best man who could be elected to the otlic. If we nre to have any improvement we mut put en uigli power in the hand of the public olhcials to ennble tin in to bring it about, and trust to the public spirit of the voters to elect the right men to office to exercise thnt power. FOG IN DEFEAT FCiG. most obstinate hf the peace-time perils of the sen. is obviously booked to sunender to the ingenuity of man and the magic of wireless. The radio direction finder, tried with striking success the other day on board the lightship tender Tulip, enables the navigator, win. need know comparatively little of wire less telegraphy, to take reasonably accurate bearings upon fixed beacons which are not visible. Three stntions for sending radio fog signals an- already in operation by the Government at Fire Island lightship, Sea Girt light station and Ambrose Channel lightship. The prospect of complete installation along the Atlantic Coast contains the possibilities of a large scale i evolution in the resources of navigators.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT If Philadelphia Has Rcscmblanco to a Southern City, Thero Aro South erners Here Who Reconcile Ua to the Charge Ily SARAH I). L0W.I.II. HOW can you explain the difference be tween Phllndelnhln and New York?" a carper from New jersey nsked mo with a barbed-wire grin not long since. She shopped in New York, which Mie felt gave her the right to feel supeiior. "One wns settled bv the Dutch and the other by Qunkcis," I answered, Iguoilug tho grin. "Rut why does it look like n Southern city, if the' Qunkers have so much to say about-it?" she pursued. "Does R?" said 1. "It does," said she. "Every one notices it ; even the Southerners who come up here to live feel more at home. You ought to know that." "Perhaps It Is our cooking, perhaps it is our great Negro population, perhaps it is our simplicity," I liniMidcd. She gazed about her nppinlslngly. "It is more thnn likely it is the things you nre not than the tilings, ,m nie that makes thein feel contented," she observed. And with n wide gesture she indicated a row of little, shabby houses thnt were strung nlong back of nomo big, opulent ones and a row of ash cans decorating a particularly busy corner, while just In front of us a little victoria driven by a man in n handsome plum -color livery and a high hot of an ancient vintage much too big for him drew- somewlint shakily up to the curb, and an elegant old lady and her daughter were ceremoniously helped out by n Negro serving man In a white jacket. "Qtinlnt," was. her word for the horse and driver, the hand-me-down livery nnd dilapi dated hat. Rut the old lady and her daugh ter were not quaint; they were that difficult thing to'nttain elegant. T EXPLAINED to her that the livery JL htnblo whence that "quaint" pleas ure vehicle emanated wns a Philadelphia Institution. If the Norrises used it in the morning, the Cndwnladers hired it for the afternoon ; nnd on Wednesday from 10 to 1 it was tho Riddles' dav. while llkclv as not the Parrlshcs had it Tuesdajs for the Mime hours. The little man on the box with tho hat resting on his ears knew nil their ways; wUo took an airing in the Park, who went down to the Philadelphia Library to exchange books, stopping to order ice cream for dinner nt Sautter's on the way. "Of course, it is awfully nice and simple, but lt Is very like the South, jou must admit," wan the final comment from the lady from New Jersev, near New Yoik. I THOUGHT, with sudden impatience, why not admit it? Taken quality for quality. I'd rather live In a town that was like New Orleans than like New York. And the South has sent Us delightful people from year to year; men and women who linve added greatly to our so. lal life as well as to our Intellectual flavor. I have thought of a good many of thosp adopted cltlzeus of ours since then, nnd it seemed to me there was not n stupid or commonplace or iinhuinoroiis one among them. And I recalled a .onversntion I had bad a month or so ago with one nf them ubmn the great gift the South had to give the North 1. e.. the charm of the Southern manner. Thev have a gift of expressiveness nnd appreciation which Is serene nnd mi nervous, and cordlnl without being pressing. One bus u sense of race in them without any arrogance on their part. WITH the South beginning to come inM its own once more in the matter of pros perity . and therefoie some of the old bitter ness of the past being easier to Ignore be cause of the proiuislnv; fiitlirc, it strikes me the North will more and more benefit bv the casj and casual social enntaet that such out posts as Philadelphia begin already to feel. In the last j ears no Southerner has meant so much to Philadelphia, perhaps, ns that lovely and lovable person, Miss Caroline Susan Jones, of Louisiana and of Chestnut Hill, the junior head nilstresH of the Spring side School. I never knew her name was Caroline until I read it in her death notice. She was known to her friends as "Susy Jones," and to some hundreds of her school girls as "Miss Jones," without further need of identification. She had a blessed sense of propnition con cerning those si hoolglrls. They were her business, her lesponsibility ; but thev were not her life. The consequence was she never seemed like teai her out of school or a slave to the immature in school. She had that blessed rasuulncss of manner that goes with a philosophic ti mperiiuient. And she had plentj nf wit to i airy her tliroii;li a scene with just the right touch for the Imagination of jnuthfiil egoism tc. gnisp and assimilate. I leinemher on one occasion when one of the classes in her school had been tempo rarily wayward to the point of being disci plined by an under-teatlier. The.v tame to their senses on a siuMcn when MsS Jones was about to be summoned. "Oh, she will feel so dn ndfully I" they said. "Cannot oii manage to punish us without her kuowing?" HER sudden death tins June is a very vital loss, not only to the generation of sihoolgirls coming on. hut to the town. New ilrlcnns nnd Louisiana Kave her some thing of French urb-inttv -though she was doubtless pure Welsh- something 0f witty, social responsivi ness that made one tui'ii suihlmlj and laugh auuisedlv with her.

KEECH On Home-Making for the Future AN ARMY of liome-mukcrs, not only for the present, but more especially for the flit li t o. Is seen by Miss Alice L. Keech, Mipervisor of domestic art and assistant to the dinvtor of piactlc.il arts and vocational education in the public schools of the city. ' The principal aim of the classes which embody sewing, millinery, gniment con structinn nnd textile studies," snid Mis.s Keech, "is to educate the joung girls iu the system to become intelligent, skillful and practical home-makers. "We find that in the last ten jenrs the progress made iu these courses hns been nothing short of remarkable. Not only are the girls learning to make more useful and a better type of garments, but their general grasp of tjils phase of the domestic problem and their Influence in tJie home is becoming more and more decidedly felt. Cope With Home Problems "Now the young gills take hold of the problems at home with enthusiasm and a certain knowledge that makes them real fac tors.. "They not only make clothes for them selves at home nnd thereby cut down their mst of innintcnanie at school, but thev help tn iiinke things for the rest of the family. t In ir motheis nnd their brothels and sisters. Their neighbors often come in for a sliaie of their help, and In thi- wa they inci dentally help to sprend the boine-making idea. "Cost of materials, taste, color know ledge nnd disci iininntioii, shopping nlulitv, t holce nt materials, and knowledge of mater'uils all arc important details of their courses. "The idea of elegance nnd lonservntlsni veiy soon attracts the girls as the courses proceed. Thus ninny of the foreign girls who at first preferred garish colors or flar ing effects soon learned to piefer the moie conservative s(yes nnd colms. and their -t.vle and choice of dress graduall.v Improved tor the better. Training Ts Valuable "The girl is taught how to tell the various kinds of materials, how to differentiate tho genuine from the spurious goods, how to cut iiuitcil.il to the best advantage nnd what various materials are for. She is taught to consider the wearing qualities of tins kuhiIs when making her selections as well ns its appearance, nnd to fonsider economy from Mn-e standpoints us wen as that nt iheap- 1H ss. "The questions of sliinness and plumpness are points that sho learns In conshkr Iu mak ing her choir e of goods and styles. The t-irl. design their own dresses, this woik marking a correlation between the drawing .ind do mestic art work of the gills. "The pupils also lenin the fundamentals of their woik. They learn to handle a needle and thread in the 1110-1 ifiiiiont wav, to tun sewing machines and to know how to take care of them as far n, it is possible. fur n girl or woman to do w. "As we do not have enough machines to tin the work, the students often get busy and obtain them themselves, Tims thev give eii-teitainuieut- and iaisi the money for the purpose, or a gradliatius or graduated class 1 mi make a practhal pn-nit of that suit. Vln n a play is given for this purpose the cost of production is cut down by the girls, who design and make the costumes tht'iii- selves Wear Home. .Made Clothes "The.v make their own (lollies to a large extent. When they have completed a project tin j are required to lompaie the coat of production of their own tliess with the cost fif the same gaimeiit if thev should purchnse it outside. When a gill learns that she can get nunc and better dresses for the money than she can bu outside fhe does not forget that lesson iu n Inn r.. "There is coiisiileiuble cn-operiitiou be tween the various depurtmi nta of the .schools. Thus thn girls in the sewing classes make beau bags for the plnvgiounds, swimming emblems for the phjsiciil training clnsses, and so on "Dining the war the officials, of the Red ('loss learned to have gr'at respect for the work done by fhe girls. At first, when this count r.v entered thn war, they were loath to aciept their work, thinking that children could not accomplish much.

Roys Trained as Well "While the work i.s primarily for girls, don't think that the boys don't absorb any thing from the courses. For instance, when we nre giving a lecture on textiles the bo.vs pay the most earnest kind of attention, al though It Is not lequired of them. "I believe the day will come when a domestic arts course for boys will be in order. Changing conditions often leave a boy or young man strunded without any one 111 mind to give him those little attentions that he needs. To my mind every boy should learn to sew on a button, muke a patch and sew a plain, straight seam." I What Do You Know? j QUIZ 1. Who wrote the muslo of "Tht Star Spangled Banner"? ?.
