I'bllidrlpliit, Udndiy, July 27, 1921 CAS COMPANY SEES THE LIGHT THE United Gas Improvement Company seem to be accepting the logic of tho situation. The announcement by its president that unless It got relief It would not make the purulent duo to the city has been with drawn. A llttlo reflection must have con vinced the I. G. I. people that a default on this payment would open the way for a petition by the city for the appointment of a receiver. Now it Is announced that the payment will be made. And still more Important, George Whar ton Pepper, representing himself a" u citizen who has been in consultation with the officers of the 1". G. I., has told tin Mayor that the company Is ready to confer with the City Solicitor and a. cummlttoc of Coun cil nnd such other perrons ns may be called la for the purpose of agreeing ou the terms ef a new lease which shall settle the gas problems. This Is the plan which the Mayor recom mended to the Council beforo that body passed the Hall ordinance increasing for a year the price of gas to $1.10 a thousand cubic feet. Consequently the Mayor is ex pected to veto this ordinance, notwith standing the pressure that has been brought to bear upon him by representatives of large financial interests. Then he can renew his recommendation that the Council arrange to participate in the negotiation of a new lease which shall make a permanent and scientific and businesslike settlement of the Issue. RESPECT FOR ANTIQUITY PROGRESS and respect for history, tra dition and art are appropriately com bined in the program to reconstruct the Pennsylvania Hospital. Rebuilding Is a omewhat harsh, not to say hhocklng, word in this connection, and it Is gratifying to note thnt the project as announced by the Board of Managers clearly specifies that the mother structure of the group, one of the most admirable pieces of Colonial architec ture extant, will be allowed to stand. Philadelphia could 111 afford to spare this gracious and dignified cdifire. whoso appeal Is not merely attributable to age, but to absolute charm and beauty as well. Al though the famous Greenwich Hospital in that unique borough where longitude is cer tified antedates the most notable building on Pine trcct by about half a century, the esthetic similarities of the two structures are striking. Visitors who arc fond of drawing par allels between the architecture of eighteenth century London and that of old Philadelphia habitually rely upon the Pennsylvania Hos pital as evidence. The neighboring build ings of the Institution are in general void of historical associations and arc. Indeed, rather fumbling Imitations of the Georgian style. The intention of the management to re place them with edifices representing the latest developments In hospital equipment 1 ,as commendable as is It, consideration for what actuallv nmnnnts to shrine. "THE LITTLE FELLOWS" MENTION in the news of '-little fellows" who are suld to have dragged the Chandler brokerage firm down to failure is HUggestlvt of one of the unwritten romances of the war period and the interval of high nnd low finance that followed the signing of the armistice. The "little fellows" wore the amateurs In the stock market the men nnd women who were led by the prospect of quick and easy money to take long filers with small capital. They made a great deal of money. They walked in cloudlnnd. They lived through months that seemed too good to be true. For there was a time when any one with a little ready money could plunge with relative safety . All stocks were up nnd going higher and the margin gnmblers were in clover. The "little fellows" bought their first motorcars and dreamed of houses in the country and butlers and seats In the dia mond horseshoe. Many of them hud "gone in" with only n few bundled dollars. How could the) know how thin the lee was under their wandering fot' Walters in the cabarets w homed them with open nrms. They bo-. ght twcnty-dollrtgjfcllk shirts. They were the dcli'fht of tntlcabhles And then came the smash. All the niouev thnt the lltt'e fellows made went back to the places when-e it had nine, nnd with it went the original capital of al most cer iininteiir plunger. The little fellows knew how to get Into the market. They didn't Know how- or when to get out nf it. Most of them are ha''k at their old jobs now and their cost' motors are drlw-n by ntlieiH.

PROVIDING READY MONEY FOR THE RAILROADS President Harding Asks Congress to Hasten the Payment of What the Government Owes THE President is eouroseously shoulder ing bis responsibilities as tho head of the Government in charge of its business. His railroad message yesterday was a business communication Intended to secure the necessary co-operntion of Congress In carrying out agreements made when the railroads were taken over by the Govern ment. Those agreements provided that the property of the roads should be turned back to the owners in as good condition ns when they were taken nnd thnt a guaranteed rental should be paid. When the roads won turned buck to their owners last year the Government owed them several hundred million dollars. The rail roads likewise owed large sums to the Gov ernment for permanent improvements which had been made in tlie property, sums prop erly chnrgeable to capital account. The Esch-Curamins law provided that the bums due to the railroads should be paid as soon as possible, and It arranged a way for pay ing them. It also contained a plan for the repayment by the rnllroads of the money spent by the Government for pcrmnnent work. This plan has been carried out so Blowly that the railroads have been handi capped for lack of funds. It Is virtually impossible for them to float a loan in the present condition of the money market. The railroad managers have been saying for months that if the Government would pay what it owes them they would be able to do some of the work that is imperatively needed. The President has in effect told Congress not to wait until the accounts botwecn the railroads and the Government have been balanced, but to enlarge the powers of the War Finance Corporation so that it can find the money needed to pay to the railroads the sums due them in order that the roads may be relieved of their immediate and prolng financial necessities. The payment of the sums owed by the ronds will continue to go on ns fast as adjustments have been mnde. The plan proposed does not go into the merits of the railroad problem. It is merely n plan to speed up adjustment of the finan- iul questions arising out of Government operation. The Government owes the ronds much more than they owe the Government, and thev need the monej Mr. Harding snys it should be paid to them at once. How the broader questions are to be ap proached will not be known until experience hflR shown what changes must be mnde in the Esch-Cummins law That law Is not perfect. Indeed, railroad evperts have said that sonic of its provision are unworkable, while they admit that the things which it seeks to accomplish are desirable. The anti-trust laws imc prevented combina tions of railroads which would be economi cally wise, and they hnve prevented pooling of freights which would facilitate the move ment of goods. The I-'sch -Cummins law permits combinations of ronds into great competing groups, but it lins laid down con ditions under which the combinations should be made that take no account of fundamen tal business principles. It ignores the fuel that the fixing of uniform rates by the In terstate Commerce Commission has mnde competition in rates impossible, and assumes that by maintaining tho theory of competi tion the railroads will compete in the quality of the service which thev offer. I'ntll the attempt to recon-ile two ion dieting theories is abandoned the theory of Government regulation with the theory of competition rnilroud legislation will b confusing and unsatisfactory. There are some clear-thinking men in Washington nowadays and they may succeed 111 urwMiih a pimi iur unuingiing ine present railroad complications nnd freeing the rail roads from hampering restrictions which prevent them from making such adjustments of their relations with one nnother as will result In more efficient service nt lower rate?.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, Count who would have been forgotten long ago if at some time or other in Paris he had not expressed to an imaginative chef a taste for ice cream doused In rich sauces made from the stuffs now outlawed under the Volstead act. So Nessolrodo'a name is blazoned on hundreds of thousands of menu cards all over the habitable earth. How often does tho out lander in the city sigh and wondor why fashion appears to prohibit so wonderful a thing as a baked potato? How can he know that by breath ing five words to the waiter "pomme de terrc att four!" he might eat aJmost as luxuriously in the most fashionable of cafes as he can cat at home? "Pommes des terre nu four" aro on tho bill, of course. But your man from Erlo is almost certain to believe that they aro some mysterious sort of pickles. He would look long for tho potato soup of his youth nnd his homo town. Doubtless ho tyould never find It. For the French und tho restaurant keepers who fol low after them continue to do honor through the medium of potato soup to one Antolne Augustine Parraentler, economist, agricul turist nnd humanitarian, who centuries ago introduced tho potato into Francs. Ask for potato soup and a. really fashionable waiter will not know what you mean. Ask for "potage parmcntler" nnd you will be happy. The French know not only how to cook, but how to moke happy phrases to describe nnd characterize their handiwork. They give their great dishes sounding names and flavor them with the rich airs of tradition. We haven't such talents. What wonders of sound nnd suggestion would a French chef evoke in naming Maryland chicken or Southern spoon bread? Had the French devised the marvelous thing known as the flapjack in tho United States they would have given it a nnraa suggestive of heaven and crowding angels. REMAKING THE PARK APPROACH CASUAL snap -judgment critics, of whom there is no impoverishment in Philadel phia as elrlwhorc, will be obliged to dry some ill-consldored tears when they find out thnt the present unsymmetrtcnl twists nnd turns of the Parkway near Spring Garden street are not permanent. Even to sonic moris charitable observers, however, conditions nt this end of the thor oughfare have been puzzling, und It Is con soling to record thnt the Mayor has slgnetl the ordinnnce for raising tho northwestern level of the Parkway us high as eighteen feet In certain places to provide a fitting approach to tho new Art Museum. The work will involve straightening the roadway as well, and when all the grading has been done the Washington Monument is expected to receive a new sotting. The operations nre on so considerable a scale that It Is not easy to visualize tho transformation. The contemplated plan calls for nn easy incline of a straight, wide iivenue to what remains of the old reser voir hill. In this elaborate process of municipal re construction beauty has undoubtedly seemed elusive aud remote. "Pntience" Is still good counsel. A large-scale program of civic adornment Is taking shape In a way at the Park entrance that will soon enrry a definite meaning. Tho end is worth wait ing for. KING OF ILLINOIS? SINCE the piping times of George F. Itaei- the venerable doctrine of the divine right of kings has been infrequently adduced in this country as defense. Its attempted resuscitation todny by the counsel for Governor Small, of Illinois, ac cused of embezzlement during his occupation of the office of State Treasurer, has aroused the fervent democrntic indignation of the Songnmon County Circuit Court. Judge Smith spiritedly, proclaims "that there Is no such thing ns the divine right of kings In Illinois ami that the king bus no coun terpart in Illinois." Hut is this last fiery assertion really true? Granted thnt the regal "divinity" which implied Immunity from punishment for rimes is a fantastic and untenable hy pothesis so far as American law is con cerned, are the offenses of which Governor Small is accused actually so unklngly? According to a celebrated unlettered but nc ute philosopher ot a certain veracious lii Hon. the moral obllquitv of some spurious kings Is such that toil can't tell them from rial ones. If Governor Small's lawyers live wise they will refrain from drawing mon archical inrollels. The historic weight of roguery is too damning for comfort. MR. MOORE ON JAZZ WHEN men In otlicial positions begin to discuss tho subtleties of mass psychol ogy It is always Interesting to Hten and to try to determine how far purely political experience can carry one toward au under standing of the origin of social impulses. "Away," said Mayor Moore yesterday, "with jazz! Let us be done with the wretched tunes nnd the wretched songs of which juzz Is made!" Later In his address the Mayor Implied that the music which he dislikes is a bad tiling for society. He shares n belief thnt Is surprisingly general. And yet It is necessary to ask whether the jazz of the hour is the product of a state of mind or whether the state of mind of the public, which reformers lament, Is in fact a product of jazz. Would the mere c'lmlnntion of jungle rhythms rcstoro the folk of today to a better spiritual equilibrium nnd endow them with better tabte und higher desires? Is dance music alone responsible for the new impu dence of children, the dizzier bathing suits, the smoking cars for women that have ap peared on one of the Western railroads and the "moral laxity" of which reformers talk so cnrnestly? Jazz in the final nuahsis must be ac cepted as an effect rnther than a cause. In music written in broken rhythms there is no inherent evil. The work of almost ctery great composer reveals examples of elaborate syncopation. You will not be able to biing about a 'ocial millennium by merely writing all music in stilctly eon tcntlonnl tempo. The trouble, such as It is, is not wholly with jazz. It Is with the jii7zers. What has been tho matter with people who seem "fspoNul to throw many of the accented ethical restraints to the winds? They are the folk who made jazr what It Is.

'ft aFTrvrr rwwrw-!w AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Vulnerability or the Overblown Cap tains of Industry and the Reactions of an Advanced Woman By SARAH D. LOWRIE . I HAD a letter from n man I know in Nownort who waxed eloouent over what be called "a group of facts." He wrote: "A group of facts which strikes me as significant Is, that here in Newport, a curi ous change is occurring in' the form and arrangements of society1. Here nt tho apex of the fashionable sophisticated, the major portion of the cottages are occupied by widows I Relicts of the big men, whoimade their pile, came hero, waxed fat and kicked kicked over the milk container, died and loft bewildered widows to rattle around in their overblown palaces." Here is meat for two topics "The Vul nerability of the Overblown Coptnlns of In dustry" nnd "The Reaction From the Stand point of an Advanced Woman." I do not know If the writer meant to write on these two topics himself or whether he thought I might. I -venture to differ from his summing up in one particular. I do not believe those widows "rattle around" in those, huge stone and marble af fairs which the owners call cottages nnd the tourists call palaces and which are nctually only samples of architecture French, Gothic, Palladium, Richardson, Early Pull man, American, Queen Anno and Shingled Exaggerations samples, a stono's throw apart. I do not bcllcvo those widows feel inadequate or bewildered. For the first tlmo since they married their captains of industry they havo actually a free hand at tho "pile." And no womnn who lias had her spending dictated for her on no matter how generously huge a scale but Is moved to her depths by the chance to use her income as she has a mind to. THE better captain of industry a roan proves himself to be tho more completely does ho wish to keep his hand on the reins of spending. Extrnvngnnt, yes I Spending money like wnter. yes! But along the line he hns mapped out: Huge establishments: In three or four places, n breeding farm, n fancy camp In the Adlrondncks, n royal collection of jewels, a museum of pictures, a library of first editions, nil the clothes nnd furs and luces nnd gift-shop things his wife can buy wherever they nre : Venice, Atlantic City, Quebec or Paris a Rolls Royce and a privnto enr, n pew nt Newport nnd n motor 'launch nt Paul Smith's, nn indefinite charge in hnlf the shops In New York or London or Paris; but they must be extravagances that he can sympathize with. The spending must be something that reiiccts tils wealth and Ills ideal of her; it must be keeping up what he has drawn up as the mode of life suitable to bis position. It must pay for the reputntioh he has estab lished of his power. Up to that point he is glad to give his wife n freo hand; but for the things thnt ho does not see the sense of, in big or in little matters, all laylshness stops. The bare requisite stops. His money Is not hers to spend as he does not please. In many cases his morsy must be spent by her ns she docs not please. Think of the long arrears of shelved wishes she has to make up when one fine day he departs for good, taking nothing with him nnd by a sudden lit of careless ness leaving her completely mistress of her self and the means to carry out her own ideas! NO DOUBT she misses him, possibly she is lonely without him. but she knows what to do and has her life cut out to get It done beforo she too has to "go awuy!" She has thought about every expenditure of his for their combined life ; how she would hnve done it hnd she been nllowed a " free hand, how sho would have saved here to branch out there, what she would havo omitted entirely, nnd whnt she would have done instead. She has often thought ot tho possibility of just this climax nnd Avhat would be tho result in the event of her having lnrger income than her yearly living expenses would entail spending. Don't tell me she is surprised, bewildered or is "rattling about." Of course 1 knptv that there are plenty of husbands who do not inquire how their wives spend the money they allow them if it is spent on themselves, or possibly on the children. But very few men give it to their wives, for Instance, us they would give It to their married dnugbters. I fancy the reason for that is that, even if alio makes lucks nudlrnkes of her allowance, a mnr ried daughter is not part of his dally life, while If his wife is not so well dressed as she could bo ns his wife, it reflects on his generosity or on his power. His allowance to his mnrried daughter is a gift outright ; his wife's allowance is a trust fund to bpend for their mutual comfort. And what is true of the money his wife lias is also true of her leisure. One of the most perfect excuses that a womnn hns to moke for not doing some thing is : "My husband has positively forbidden me. He says when he conies home tired lie does not want to see me spending the evening working, or doing accounts, or writing notes,' or whatever the philanthropic or political, or religious chore may Involve. Xow, two cases out of eight, the husband may have nothing to do with the excuse; it's just nn excuse. But it will always he legal tender with nny group of women be cause every womnn knows she is not nn ideal wife if she is as interested in her board meetings nnd philanthropic correspondence as he l.s in his business. And above all, if she regards her duties ns a wife and mother nnd hostess and housekeeper us the business for the day and her own personal affairs as pleasure for the evening, sho knows her husband will think that she is overworked nnd must be suved from herself. HER time and her allowance ore not her own to u.se unquestioned, ns though her judgment could be trusted ns nt least equal to her husband's as to the maniige ment of her life. Yet he makes a will leav ing to this fallible creature the huge re sponsibility thnt he has consciously shirked the responsibility of giving away that part of the money which he has ncquired that, if lie is to be known as n generous man, must go for the public good. He also lenves her a larger allowance than sho ever had nominally during his lifetime to spend with out his protective restrictions. For the first time in thoir lives he really honors her by trusting her, is actually gen erous with her, does make hrr feel gre.ttlv loved and yet greatly independent. And it is nil done too latefnr him to reap the benefit of her plensure in being given power to be herself. I WAS told by a friend of mine of an ex perience she hnd had with her father n year or so before he died. She was his sole heir nnd the executrix of his will. She was a woman well on in life nnd not only presided over his household, but was very much Involved in various important nffnlrs of her own. But he never allowed her to know whnt his Income was, how It wns Invested, when the Investments fell jiio for reinvestment, whnt bnnks he used, or the actual provisions of his will. He never treated her ns a partner in his nffairs or consulted her judgment about a single investment of the capital thnt within n few years at most must come into her keeping. She did not even know where his securities were kept or where his will wns when he died; so little had ho trusted her while living. Yet he left her every thing! The other question of the man from Xew port ns to why captains of industry are so tulneralile.

KREMP On Administering Federal Law SMOOTHNESS und team work are distin guishing factors in administering jus tice in the Federal Government offices, ac cording to Edwin S. Krcmp, Assistant United States District Attorney. "A little bit of the human element filter ing through nt times prevents the course of justice from being n cold-blooded, mnchlnc-Uke proposition," adds Mr. Kremp. "The courts, like climates, differ in many Important respects," said Mr. Kremp. "So lo the cases thnt come before them for dis position. The Criminal Code of 1010 covers the long llbt of crimes that arc usually found upon the statute books of any State.
