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

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

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.

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.

Happy Home-Makera
To the Editor of the Evening l'ublic Ledgers

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.

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.

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-

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.
To Secure Mortgage Papers
Tn th Vrlltnr- nt the f.'iiiMifun PiiMIr t.rtlnm
Sir Please tell mo the tlmo It generally .
takes to get papers of security for mort
gage holder (first mortgage). 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.
Five months seems unusually long to se
cure papers. There has been nn unusual
amount of work placed In the hands of the
Recorder of .Deeds, and mortgages are. held
up frequently several months In their re
cording. You can do nothing but wnlt.
You might call at the Recorder of Deeds

. INVESTMENT AND
PROTECTION
When you invest in stocks or bonds you demand ample
security for your funds. Your business calls for a constant
investment in valuable goods.
Only the best type of protection means unquestionable secur
ity. You would not take out an insurance policy in a company
whose ability to meet its obligations was doubtful. Your
business investment warrants the best protection available

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.
Thus we are able to maintain for all a constant supply of
such choice and necessary foods as Premium Milk-fed Chickens,
Brookfield Butter and Brookfield Eggs.
