A PRECEDENT PRESERVED
LEGISLATION to lit very special tnscs
has long and rightly boon regarded as
Inadvisable. In Stato and city politics tin
term "ripper" Is sufficiently opprobrious to
describe the practice of political ousting
which such lawmaking sometimes involves.
The usual objects of "ripper" tactics ob
viously have nothing to do with tut- congres
sional measure which would enable General
Leonard Wood to retain his military status
during tho period of hi" service n Governor
of the I'!iilipplne!i.
The bill, which applies only to General
Wood and two other army men. In. however,
a clear violation of a commendable principle,
even though Its purpose is not to get rid of
these individuals, but to honor them. The
shelving, of the measure in the House de
notes a conservative regard for good prece
dent the effect of which upon the career of
General Wood will not be harmful.
The prospective Governor of the Philip
pines will bo eligible for retirement, under
the thirty-year service provision, on , Octo
ber 0. There is. therefore, not the least
compulsion upon him to resign from the
army. A matters Mnnd, it is likely that
he will simply assume his nosf in the archi
pelago after ho has boon taken off the active
army list. In that case the excellent rule
forbidding army officers to fill civil Govern
ment positions wi'l not be infringed upon.
As the sentiment of the House is unques
tionably sjmpathetic to General Wood, the
tabling of the bill ennnot bo ascribed to ob
structionism It 1' tho larger aspects of the
situation nnd their effect on future legisla
tion which has boon duly considered.
MILLBOURNE'S FINE MILL
WHEN motor drivers, venturing a parage
through the borouch of Mlllbourne.
neglect to observe the exact letter of the
road law, the "Squire of tho place, one
Yerkes, has them hustled before him, from
a trap deftly arranged, and fined. Each
catch means a little more than .?! for the
"Squire and hi constable. When watchmen
were posted hv one of the'motor clubs to
caution drivers and to keep nutomobiles well
within the speed limit thev were arrested at
the 'Squire's nrdr and charged with dis
orderly conduct ! It is prott clear, there
fore, that tho astute Yerkes ih a 'Squire of
hated legend, a justice of the sort that
beset the roads of New Jersey In the old
days before the State authorities harshly
disciplined them.
Too mnnv rond laws are made to be
broken. When the authorities In n small
borough put signs on their section of a
great highway ordering nil motor drivers to
Co no fn'ter than eight miles an hour they
really mean that they do not want motor
cars to go faster than fiftren miles an hour.
But they leave it within the power of jus
tices of the peace and fee -hunting constables
to Impose unjustly upon drivers of automo
biles. There ought to be standardized road laws
applying in all boroughs, rationally drawn
and rationally enforced. Then we should
hear less of fine mills Automobllists mean
while have it within their power to deal
effectively with the fintng 'Squires. They
can avoid tho tow-ns In which these 'Squires
hold forth -Thii In 'lie course of time
business meifwhn rule the borough and put
'Squires into office and kick them out will
learn that the prospentv of a communltv
depends invartnblv on tho n.iture and extent
of the traffic that passes through it.
AN ARCHITECTURAL GEM
AS MIGHT have been exported, work upon
the reconstruction of the old f'ltv Hall
and Supreme Court Building at Fifth and
Chestnut streets lias immediately empha
sised the contrast between the original
beauty of the structure ami the rookies
and inartistic character of later additions
Traces of charming old stairways hne been
brought to light Subsequent "patchwork"
improvements are responsible for the present
unprepossessing appearance and arrange
ment of the interior.
The restoration, ns is entirely proper, will
respect the original plnn. This is not e-
clusivelv because of historic association".
Appreciation of esthetic values will alo play
its part
Just whv so much of Colonial architecture
was beautiful is ns difficult to explain as
the hideousness of the Mid-Victorian or
"Late General Grant" achievements. Each
age is wont to nrnle it'elf upon Its inu of
structural boautj. Historical perspective,
however, invarlablv reveals marred oscilla
tions of taste, anil it Is possible to appraise
with some accuracy the course of architec
tural stupidities nnd architectural Inspira
tion. The grace that ahtdo in the Georgian
style, Imitated in this country, is absolute
and can be estimated apart from the soften
ing Influenies of age. The American Insti
tute of Architects, which Is supervising the
reconstruction of the old City Hall, has an
unviable onportunltv to recreate a structure
of which Philadelphia may bo proud.
The primary assflH for evolving a gem of
tte genre are all present
TOBACCO CONSUMPTION
THERE Is a small group of persons in the
I'tiltcd States who regret thut the
bucket of water which the servant of Sir
Walter Raleigh threw over his head when
Jie found his master smoking did not ef
fectually check the disposition of white men
to experiment with the soothing e(Toets of
tobacco.
.There is n much larjer group who are
ad that Sir Walter persisted in proving to
bis satisfaction thnt the American Indians
knew n good thing when they found it.
How large that group Is no one knows. No
census of the smokers ever has been taken.
ill wo know Is the amount of tobacco that
' j mey consume.
r,"S"' According to the statistics gathered by
Stt-ff he census takers last year, -10,000.000.000

cigarettes apiece for every man, womnn nnd
child. As no children nnd few women smoke
tobacco In any form, the nvcrage consump
tion of cigarettes by those who use them
must be at least 1500 a yenr per capita.
As 87.000,000 clgnrs were manufactured,
the nvernge consumption of cigars per caplts
must be about 2S0 on the same bnls.
It would be easy for Mr. Cnttell. the city
statistician, to figure out how many plrrtes
of Ice cream could be bought for what is paid
for cigarettes nnd tobacco every yenr, or
how many pairs of baby shoes, or how many
suits of clothes, or how many automobiles,
or how many mlssiounrlcs could be main
tained In China, or how ninny times the
cigatcttes would reach around the world If
placed end to end. or tho economic value of
the nshes if the chemicals could be cxtrnetctf
from them Rut tbese figures would hnk
only a curious Interest. The fact that the
Government receives revenues of nearly
S300.000.000 a year from the taxes on to
bacco is of more practical concern. In
means thnt those who do not use tobacco
are relieved from that much taxation lnl
other forms.

Indicate a Conspiracy or
Shameful Ineptitude?
OYMPTOMS of nn approaching emotional
O upheaval in Congress arc apparent iu
the House and In the Senate alike whenever
the affairs of the Shipping Ronrd are brought
up for discussion. There will be a probe.
Thnt I' certain. And after the probe there I
may be n sky-high scandal. It Is being
whispered In Washington that some gentle
men with white vests may even go to jull.
The Shipping Board Is futile nnd unbellcvn
bly costlv. It Is rapidly making us ridicu
lous in the eyes of the world.
In the old davs. when the Germnns wereit
getting rich nnd powerful by making science '
and ingenuity nnd cunning serve Intteud
of the natural resources which they lncked.
every ship that carried goods of German
manufacture to n foreign port was assured
of a profit provided out of the national treas
ury, when delays or market changes In
creased the cost of the voynge. It was argued
that a vessel which brought Iu foreign money
to pay German labor or German dividends
was an indispensable part of tho nation's
Industrial system. Great Rritnln always has
found ways by which to subsidize her Bliips
nnd keep them profitably employed in the
business of the empire.
When the war put the l'nlted States Gov
ernment in possession of vast new fleets and
gave us besides tho finest of the great Ger
man ships, the Shipping Hoard was estab
lished to mukc these vessels serve the na
tional interest. The ships wore to be scien
tifically operated. They were to put the
ting back upon the high sens. They would
extend our markets to the four corners of
the earth and create In American youth the
iniorest in the sen which Is necessary to any
.people who hope to carry on a great foreign
trade. Rut the state of tho merchant mnrlne
Is litt.c more promising than it was before
the war The Shipping Hoard began by
being a disappointment. Later it began to
appear like a grim joke. Now it is some
thing of a scandal. It i a drain on the
national treasury.
Innumerable Amorican-mvncd ships of tho
first ( lais are lying Idle while ocean freight
ami passenger rates are higher than they
ever were before. No one seems to know
what Is wrong. The affairs of the Shipping
Hoard are shrouded in mystery.
It is being said in Washington thnt an
investigation of the circunistnnces which
threaten to bring nbout a collapse of Gov
ernment plnns for a nationally Inspired ocean
transport service will reveal evidences of n
vast conspiracy of foreign shipping Interest
intended to continue and strengthen old
established monopolies of trade routes and
shipplns by making n wreck of the solieme
which the American Government sought to
carry through. There are hints of n night
mare of giaft.
There are hints of n sort of executive
sabotage maintained consistently aboard
Government -owned vessels in the interest of
privately controlled steamship lines ut home
nnd abroad, nnd directed with a view to
forcing the Government to sell out to the
monopolists.
Fantastic ns some of the currtnt rumor
sound. It mut be remembered that if the
ShipMng Hoard ennnot operate the vosspi
under Its control without enormous losses,
the ships nnd much of the business which
they arc intended to do will pus- sooner or
later to private hand. There is n() (rubt
that oxtenslvi propaganda has boon organ!
ized to discredit Government ownership of
ships, to disgust the American people with
the Idea of nn elaborate merchant marine
and to keep American vessels nt home. In
normal tunes there is plenty of work for
big and little ships of all sorts. Yet It is
being seriously suggested thnt new wooden
ships recently turned out of American ynrds
be broken up for kindling!
Apologists (or the Shipping Hoard nre
forever ntlling the attention of thp critics
to the depressed condition of international
commerce. It is true that American export"

equalities of exchange rate- make it diffi

PASSING OF THE BIRD BATH
THE delegates attending tin- international
convention of lintel stewards in Pitts
burgh report that the American plan hotel
has disappeared from the larger cities There
was a time when no hotels w-,.re run on tho
European plan A man pnid .fli, SI or .."
a day for a room and throe inals. The ?."
a -day hotel was the best that the country
offered For this sum a generous brenkfast
was served, an adequate lunch and a dinner
of as many courses as the guest chose to
order. He might have anything on the bill
of fare and ns much of It as he wished. The
vegetables were served in china bird baths,
which tho wnitpr arranged m a semicircle
around the dinner plate ,
One has to go into the smaller towns to
find the bird baths on a hole table And
it Ih In those towns that the hotels still
charge a lump sum for room nnd meals
Now and then there is one which advertises
the American nnd Europenn plan It is
what the people of the town call the "swell"
hotel of that part of the country. It nctunlly
hus baths connected with Home of the rooms.
In tho cities the bird baths have dlsap
peared from the dining room and baths for
human beings have appeared nn the upper
floors. And In the dining room a guest
orders what he wishes and pays for It sep-
nrately from his rootm Or he takes his
meals In outside restaurants wherever ho
happens to be when he is hungry.
Those who have nothing more important
to do may try to deeldo which is tho better
plan. The rest of us knpw that the plan
now adopted iu the cities was not forced
upon the public, but that the hotel managers
have adopted it because they have dlseov
ered that it serves the convenience of tho
people. If some other plan shall be de
vised that is more convenient it will be
adopted ns soon ns It Justifies itself.
RICHES AND DIPLOMACY
THE report from Washington that Presi
dent Harding Intends to keep in the
Diplomatic Service those men who have en
tered it with the expectation of making
diplomacy n career Is very good so far as it
goes. Most of these men occupy small and
comparatively unimportant posts. The Im
portant posts are filled In the old-fashioned
way. Appointment is made to pay some sort
of a political debt.
General Dawes was brought face to face
with the consequences of this practice when
he was nt the head of tho purchasing de
partment of the American forces in Franco.

any effective assistance. In his diary he
says thnt so long ns we continue to Fend
rich men abroad without nny -consideration
of their other qualifications the Interests of
the United States will suffer
The only
American diplomatic representative In Eu
rope with whom he had any dealings who
was equal to the emergency, he says, was
Ambnssador Wallace, in France. He docs
not mention the others by name, but when
he speaks of them In his political diary io
puts n dash where the name nppenred in his
record.
Some of the embarrassments suffered by
a man who is not rich nre desorlbod in the
1 letters of Walter Hlnes Page, who repre
sented us In London. The salary paid Is
lnndequnte and no man can serve in Iondnn
without drawing on his private resources.
Whltelnw Reld's house rent amounted to
more thnn twice his diplomatic salary. Am
bassador Herrlck, now In Pnris, Is finding It
difficult to obtain nny house suitable for his
occupancy. Up Is a rich man and is not
forced to restrict his expenditures lest he
Impair his fortune beyond recovery. Rut
for lack of nn cmbnssy building In Parts tho
dignity of the United States is suffering.
Mr. Herrlck is n capable diplomatist, as Mr.
Wallace was.
Dut the American Government ought not
'to be forced to seek among the very rich men
of the country for Its Ambassadors. 5Ir.
Page was not a poor man nnd he was an
mdinlrnble representative of the United
iStntes. Rut lie wrote the President that he
would not hnve gone to London If he had
.realized fully the humiliations to which he
'would be subjected because of the niggardli
ness wilb whicli Congress treats the Diplo
matic Service.
It is all very w-ll to keep the trained men
In the smaller posts and to promote them to
'higher positions as they prove their fitness.
"Rut until Congress provides buildings In all
the foreign capitals for the use of the
American representatives and raises the pny
tm a figure commensurnte with the demands
for cxpendl'ure the most expert diplomatist
in the service will find promotion blocked for
.him unless he has a large private fortune.
THE DISARMAMENT AXIOM
T ORD RRYCE. in another address before
,li the Institute of Politics at Williams
College, repeats the truisms concerning the
mnilness of heavy competitive national
armaments.
The theme l one which, so far as the
security of mankind is concerned, does not
lend Itself to original treatment. It is not
now ideas of neaco preservatives that arc
ineoded. nor now reasons for advocating uni

quired. The. old elemental arguments sol
emnly hold good.
What is dosirablo is continuous Insistence
upon nn nxinmatlc proposition. Public
iconsclousnoss of the peril nnd burden of

'What lagged until civilization was all but
rlestroyed was action unnn the common -tsenso
convictions.
Lord Rryce need not hcitnte to cover old
ground iu his warnings. There ennnot be
loo ninny authoritative voices calling for a
practical and constructive recognition of the

It was George Meredith who somewhat
sjldl.v observed that there wore few great

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
In Sheltered Vale Old Mill Creek Still
Goes Its Busy Way and Local
Photographer Serves jas
Modern Guide
Dy SARAH D. LOWRIE
THERE is a man named Henry Troth who
Is noted nil over the country for his
beautiful photographs, especially his pictures
of garden spares nnd of crock,. If he lived
anywhere but in Philadelphia nnd was any
thing but a Uuaker ho would have a con
spicuous studio, expensive exhibitions anil
would be, in fnct, one of the celebrities of
the town. He is a celebrity elsewhere, but
In this town he is Just a ensunl citizen who
shifts his dark-room so often that even his
clients; do not know where to find him. A
studio he has nover had. so far ns I know.
Now and then he reappears and lias n tempo
rary little shop. I first began to realize tho
beauty of the streams nbout Philadelphia
from his lovelv pictures. His collection
should be bought up before It is too late,
for already those creeks are disappearing
before the oncoming town.
I learned nbout the Mill Creek first from
him nnd, though since then I have lived on
It, I have written this little account of his
work out of gratitude for the introduction.
THE way I first reached the Mill Creek
was across country from Rryn Mnwr.
It is as pretty a way ns any to reach It.
One can go on foot, part of the way ncross
farm lands or by rough Inncs or by mac
adum roads. From the Rryn Mawr College
cntrnuce drive one turns to the right be
tween college buildings through n gateway
facing n lane running beside n wood.
The wood Is a wonderful piece of forest,
and gives one an Idea of whnt the unbroken
forest must have been In those parts 200
years ago. It belongs now to nn old Quaker
ramlly Vnux.
Mr. George Vnux has In his house there
a very Interesting collection of minerals.
Like most Friends, he is fond of scientific
pursuits in his leisure hours.
I sometimes think the stricter Friends,
who do not yet allow themselves music or
the piny, make up for the lack of that side
of beauty by n keeu pursuit of nature.
1 do not know how mineralogy became Mr.
Vaux's pastime. He was, I romembcr, onu
of the pioneers In the Northwest mountain
regions along the present route of the
Canadian Pacific, near Lake Louise.
GOING along the lane with the woods on
tho right one comes to a very old grave
yard and little church. At tho end of the
lano there Is a road lending uphill and
downhill. One turns to the right nnd down
the hill. The wood is still on the right and
a big dairy farm, with a tremendous nnd
very typical Pennsylvania fnrm, is on the
left. The road is very rough nnd gradually
goes up a hill, always skirting the wood:
In fuut, when one Is past thnt wood one has
gone around three sides of it. Coming out
at the top of the Inne and nt the end of the
wood there is n road almost nt right angles.
One wny goes back toward Rryn Mnwr or
Haverford nnd the other, to the left, toward
the Mill Creek. You tnke the left rond nnd
go dowiihill.
On the rlirht of this new rond are the old
golf links of the Merlon Cricket Club, aban
doned now some ten years for the ones some
miles away ou the other side of the Penn
sylvania Railroad west of Ardraore.
One can cut ncross these upland meadows
on foot and reach the Mill Creek by going
In tho general direction of the Schtivlkill ;
but In nny ense, by keeping to the road nnd
going downhill one very soon 'reaches the
creek at the bottom.
There Is a lovely garden in nnd nbout a
quarry on the left of this rond that bo
longed to the Into Edward Sayre. It npd
the old house It surrounds make one of the
most delightful little country seats about
Philadelphia, to my thinking.
Once you hnve crossed the Mill Creek ut
the foot of the hill, turn to the right along
its banks nnd follow It by road or bv path
until It readies the river. All along there
nre remains of old mills, some of them pie
revolutionary, nnd nbout each mill there are
the vestiges of small villages, houses for the
mill hands and the foreman and the miller
nnd the gentleman owner. These houses
were very good of their kind and sonic of
them hnve always been lived in : others have
been renovated nnd a few have gone to rulu.
JUST where the Ardmore Stntlon rond
cross the creek Is a very old workman's
house with the date of 1000 nnd something
I've been told thnt that Was the oldest house
in Montgomery County, but I cannot vouch
for tho truth of that.
There are three very Interesting countrv
places, from thut corner down for u milo or
to. The first is nn old house to the right
with big trees, nnd belongs to Mr. Chnrlrs
Mcllvalne, the architect ; and the place right
next to it with a driveway close to ith en
trance is that of Mr Charles Ludlngtnn one
of the heads of the Curtis Publishing Com
puny. That place has nn Interesting garden
nnd n swimming pool thnt hus been made a
part of the garden architecture.
Mr. Ludlngtnn has also made a verv
unique and worth-while collection of Chinese
paintings. Any one interested in the Itnllan
primitives should study these much earlier
and more finished pictures of the same type.
THE third place can only he seen from one
point on tho mud. though the entrance
drive enters from it. It belongs to Mr
Inmes Crosby Drown, the head of Rrowii
Rrothcro. bankers. It has a beautiful music
room and was the scene of the Greek phiv
which wns given iu the early summer bv
Miss Mattlilson and her compuny.
Crossing the creek again ' nnd golnc
steadily downhill nlong its very shady hanks
you pass more nnd more mills, deserted and
ruined or recently repnlrcd, the road always
growing rougher, until without warning you
come suddenly nut on a green meadow with
pretty old houses and mills, nil rharmlnglv
kept up nnd surrounded by vino and flower
covered walls nnd terraces. It Is as tlioii"h
one had come upon the Petit Trianon itself
there on the banks of the stream, and as
though the great trees were part of the park
of Versailles.
THE Inn of Mniie Antoinette, the mill
tho dairy inttage, the miller's (ottnge are
all there to the life. There are. I suppose
some dozen vine-covered buildings In the
little community, all built for some evident
purpose of communal life. And, Indeed, the
mill and the storehouse, the grnnnries and
the laborers' cottages lind owner's house all
formerlv belonged to n man by the nnme of
i inniniiu, wim in mo enriy nays before

Easy Jobs Were Lost
"The post-vvnr period found a large num

it has been the cause of not a few of our
suicides.
"In fnct, there has been nn alarming In

Kvery hospital of any size should have n

these cases. In this way the ordinary

"Coming hack directly to the wnr of the
men who entered the service nnd participated
in warfare, there were two different types
of those who since the wnr have become
psycho-mentnl Wrecks. One of these was
the man who entered the service with nn
originally diseased nervous system. An
other type U exemplified by the man who
from childhood possessed n functionally
weak nervous system, n nervous system thnt
wns adequate for his ordinary civilian re
quirements, but rould never stnnd up under
the trying clrcumstnnceN of mllltnry cam
paigning. "From these types of Individuals came
thnt vast maiorlty of cases of shell shock
and war shock which form one of the most
vexing problems that the hospitals of the
country face todny.
"That the war-shock patient is n sick
man no one who is familiar with the facts
doubts. His is a new type of illness, ono
thnt will be with us for the next ten years.
"I.astlj, but by no means least, might be
mentioned the- type of neurological patient
who has the condition which we call 'cora
pensntionitls.' He believes that his present
condition, regardless of whnt it Is, lias some
relation to war service and that It consti
tutes an adrquntc ground for compensation
from the (lovernment.
Close Study Is Required
"To be fulr to the patient nnd nt the
same time to be fair to the Government,
these cava requlie the very closest study
to determine their exact relation to previous
mllltnr.v service.
"While In the naval service I had great
opportunity to observe thousnnds of these
cases at the nnval post at Cape Mny and
the general army hospital nt th same place.
Today 150 per cent of the cases from tho
Public Health Service hospitals ure ncuro
