Thoughtless Smokors , r n Editor o tho Evening TuMlo Ledoer: Slji Now that Utah has a law forbidding tbiiise of cigarettes, It Is quite likely that cthtr States will act along this line. This Iw of Utah forbids smoking In public places snd Is against the salo, barter, gift or e change of cigarettes. Pretty tough on the fellow -who likes his llttlo puff, oh? Well, tho abvlse of a privilege usually !! to this, so what can thoy expcctT i personally do not smoke, but certainly do like to see a man enjoy his smoko when he hu the common decency to respect tho feol Ins of others. In the rnajorlty of cases the imoker Is selMsh. thinkings only of his o;n comfort and nevor once of those about him. Watch nny smoker. If you will. Does ho heiltate to blow smoke In other pcopl'g ftces or refrain from smoking when ladies are about him? When men drop Into a business office do thoy consider tho men LeUors to tho Editor should bo as brlof nnd to the point .as possible, avoiding anything that would open a denominational or sectarian dis cussion. No attention will bo paid to anony mous lotlers. Karnes and addrcssos must be signed as an evidence of good faith, although names will not e printed If request Is mado that thoy bo omitted. The publication of a letter Is not to bo tnkoji as an Indorsement of Its vIowb by this paper. Communications will not bo re turned unless accompanied by post age, nor will manuscript bo saved. they aro approaching? Not very often. They nro ready to puff a cheap cigarette nhother the man thoy call on smokes or not. Is this not disgusting when we stop to think of It? While we do not want such laws as Utai, has In Pennsylvania, yet we ought to de mand upon tho part of the smoker a little more consideration for those who do not 'smoke. Many a good man has cheapened t-lmself through his thoughtlessness as a smoker, nnd this can be usually traced to a selfish desire upon his part for personal cemfort. Irrespective of other people's feel ings. Habits aro habits, but when they bocomo annoying to others they nre rld'ri In the carriage of abuao and need nttcntlon, 1". S. KHBN. Philadelphia, June 22, 1021. Under-current of Optimism To the Editor o the Svintno Public Lcdacr! Sir How long Is It going to bo until work resumes again at full speed? Why thcs strikes all over the country, mostly over the money question? This country Is called tho land 'of the free and the homo of tho brave. That Is correct, but why not look after Its own people In tho proper way? fjod created men. women and children to live' happily, but how many do? Tou can't take your monoy with you when you die. so If you aro prosperous, why not help out tn-i unfortunates? Tho well-educated man In this world has a big lead ovor the uneducated man. but that doesn't say ho should hold him down. Phila delphia Is tho "City of Brotherly l.ovo," ann well dosorvos Kb name. You mostly get a sCjUaro deal hero, and If somo men ralseu themsolves from the bottom up to bo big business men that doesn't signify that ovory one can do the same. President Hardlntr Is a good man. but he could stop nil these arguments over capital and labor If ho wlshod. If the President could go around among the people and find cut how anxious most of them nro to work, but can't gel anything to do, he would bi surprised. Put any big men In their posi tions, they would feel tho samo way townrd the country. Tho two greatest nnd fairest men uod over created. If they were only nllvo Washing ton and Lincoln you would see a change. Another man who Is fair nnd squnro. but never got a squaro deal Eugene Debs has the right Idea about tho people. Maybo when they start tho bridge everything will turn out right. JACK. rhlladelphln. June 2fl. 1021. To Place Responsibility To ttic Editor o the Evening Public Lrdaer: Sir To Mr. Molllngor lot ma say: I would suggest that you make an effort to have the American Federation of Labor make n prop osition to tho same group of bankers that President Harding has gotten together to advance tho $30,000,000 to the Western farmors. to wit: that If advanced or pro vided with tho necessary money to build houses to the extent that Is known to be medtd and to provldo steady work for at least one year for outside mechanics, the mechanics known as erectors will glodl; accept tho proposM reductions. Can there bo anything slmplor and placo the responsibility where It belongs? C. JESS YOUNO. Philadelphia, June 20. 1021. Happy Home-Makera To the Editor of the Evening l'ublic Ledgers Sir Ono cannot help but pity that "Mar ried Woman" who wants to work down town and who hns such i wrong-' view o housework ntl homemaking. Sho , say i m '""in cHpuoio man sne coum no "o one can creato the truo homo at- " io uui mo wire nerseir, site docs not understand that tho homemaker fills the hlghost place In this life.

Philadelphia, June 24, 1021 , , Defends Girls Smoking, Etc. To the Editor of the Evening 1'ubUo Ledgers Sir Really thero should bo a law against Jov-ktllor,. Mr. Henry s. Wallace shou,, be tho first ono arrested. It Is Indeed for tunate, that all Americans aro not llko "Mr. H. S W.." for If th.y were wo would noon lose our reputation for being broad minded. Perhaps, "Mr. If. R w.." you smoke. Or, If you don't, you think. It Is perfectly all right for men to do so. Then why can't women? Now. really, don't you think you nre very small for saying otherwise? Honestly. I sco nothing Indecent In girls' dress. Kindly bo a little considerate. You seo. It Is much moro comfortable to wear a yard of goods than to wear ton yards. Then, also, you may ask any physician, It Is moro healthy. In abort, I must say thnt "Mr. H. 8' W." should have lived In tho eighteenth century. If you can't boost, please don't knock. MARY MARIAN. Philadelphia. Juno 20, 1021. Thinking Makes It So To t he Editor of the Evening Public Ledgers Sir All this tirade agalnit girls' dresn and girls' habits suggests to thoso not ovll rrlndcd n. multitude of lmpuro thoughts. So ciety Is responsible. One Individual cannot separate himself upon the "bettor-than-thou" theory. Thoro Is no esoteric group In socloty which la aloof trom responsibility for tho so-called provnlcnt evil. If our girls aro lmmornl or dress lm modctly why? Has society offered the reality of which these things are but tho shadow? If the positive, tho real has not been prosenled, thon who has been lax or dilatory the girls or society? Hut they are not lmmoinl, nor are thoy Immodest, They nro natural, honest, beau tiful and good. "There Ii nothing good or bad, but thinking makes It so " Shakcapearo but voiced a principle laid down by Jesus when He said, according to St. Mark: "What soever things from without entoroth Into n man cannot defile him all theso evil things come from within and defile the n'an." Wo are prono to condemn the acts nnd impugn motlvoa as bused upon our own Ideas of what these acts would mean wore wo to commit them. Unleis one can sep arate the act from the Individual, his de structive criticism condemns himself. Criti cism Is wholesome when constructive Rut that which floods the world with suggestions of evil Is destructive and vicious. Then let us seo the good In our girls. It's there and cannot bo overlooked, save by those who "having eyes see not." J. S. L. Philadelphia, Juno 21. 1021.

Ten-Cont Piece Design To the Editor of tho Evening Public Ledgers Sir What Is th design on tho now ten jent piece? D. D. tl. Philadelphia. Juno 21, 1021, The design on tho ten-cent piece Is not a squaro and compass, but tho Roman faeces, which consists of a, bundle of rods, having imong them nn ax, with tho blado project ngi borno before Roman magistrates us a wdge of authority. An Economical' Tinsmith To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledgers Sir Under abovo headline. In your Issue of Juno 15, 1021. Mr. ChnrlCB L. Potts says: "I asked a tinsmith to make n cylindrical vessel to hold JUBt ono cublo foot. It was to be covered both top and bottom. As the tinsmith was very economical, what dimen sions did ho make It so as to uso tho smallest quantity of tin?" Upon reading tho above by phone to n tinsmith, he replied that this Is a caso of maxima and minima In calculus, whence tho diameter of tho cylindrical vessel must bo exactly equal to Its length, making tho equation: . , 0.78B4 X square multiplied by X equals ono cublo foot, whence X equals 1.0838B feet, from which dimension the end. ana body surfaces nro roadlly calculated and a total surface area of 6.03580 square feet obtained. . .... . When asked how much more would be required for Joint laps, ho declined to an swer because the writer doesn't belong to tho Tinsmiths' Union. SI- Philadelphia. June 20. 1021. Definition of "Hyphenated" To the Editor of tho Evening Public Ledgers Sir Please tell mo what Is the meaning of the word hyphenated as connected with hyphenated American n. ". ,.i-""m.. Philadelphia. Juno 21, 1021. A hyphen In writing and printing la the short lino used to connect two words to form a compound word: to separate syllables or nt tha end of the lino to connect the parta of tho word Recently It has come Into rather common use with tho word American, as "hyphenated American." In printing such words as Oerman-Amerlcan. Irish-American, otc. the hyphen Is used, and by uso tho combination of words has como to moan loosely a citizen of the United States of German, Irish, etc., birth and descent. It Is probably, like many other words, of newspaper origin, and. being ex pressive, la gradually being adopted with tho longvago.

What aro ' tho papers I receive? Been told to watt I five minths, which seems long, and what' can I do to find out about the matter? R. lillUWfli Chestnut Hill, Ta., Juno 24, .1021.

PUBLIC $g LEDGER MORNING EVENING SUNDAY Civilization's Greatest Achievement Some Eskimos were brought down to Edmonton, Alberta, on official business. They had never before been south of the Arctic Circle. They had never seen a street, a town, a window, or a vooden door. A bed, a water tap, and an electric light produced com pletely new sensations. Street cars were unknown to them; tele phones unheard of; trains not to be believed even when beheld. They had never seen an automobile until someone took them riding in one. They had never set their eyes on an airplane until someone did his most daring stunts in one to thrill them. They had never even seen a movie! But what do you suppose moved them most in the whole bag of tricks which civilization produced for their amusement and' amazement ? S What seemed to them the greatest wonder of all ? The cold storage plants ! The White Man didn't always have to hunt and fish when he wanted to eatl Here was civilization's greatest gift, its greatest benefaction. This feature of civilization makes it possible for Swift & Company, in the season of over production, to store a supply of food for distribution in the season pf scant, or non-production.
