CJub Officials Seo Way to Avert
Triffic Congestion They
Call "Deplorable"
MONEY WASTE CLAIMED
Suggestions were made today by offl.
clala of two autntnobilo clubs that Hpc
cial ferries be introduced to carry auto
mobiles buck and forth across tho Dela
ware River between Philadelphia and
Camden to nvcrt traffic congestion at
the ferry houses.
"Conditions are deplorable at the
Market Btrcct ferries," said Eugene
Ilogcl, secretary of the Automobile Club
of Phlladelnhln. "On summer holldnys
motorists must wait from three-quarters
of an hour to two hours before they are
able to itet their cars on the ferry.
"Tho best way to remedy this conges
tion is to Install one or possibly two
vehicle ferries like the ones used on
the Hudson River. These boats are
uncd exclusively for motorcars nnd ore
capable of handling nearly twice ns
many nutomoblles as tho onci now In
operation at the Market street ferries,
which tako passongors, freight nnd
motorenrs."
J. Maxwell Bmlth, secretary of tho
Keystone Automobile Club, tukes the
eame stand as Mr. Ilogel.
"With the Increased number of nuto
moblles now In uso, especially pleasure
cars, tho owners oi which are turning
their minds more nnd more toward
touring. It Is essential thnt something
radical be done to enso conditions at the
ferries." he said.
"Roth on the Camden nnd Philadel
phia side of tho De'nware River motor
cars lined up for several blocns nre
filled with pleasure seekers returning
from a week-end at tlio suoro.
"It seems Incrcdlblo thnt Phlladel
nhln should be so far behind in tho
handling of vehicular traffic along the
river front.
Charles A. Grier, superintendent of
the Pennsylvania Ral'rood ferries at
Camden, says that ferries which handle
nutomobllo traffic only would bo a waste
of money.
"The cost of n vehicular ferry such
ns is used on the Hudson River costs
approximately $300,000," he said. No
doubt a ferry of this type would come
In handy under the conditions which we
aro placed in during a holiday rush, but
what would bepomo of these boats dur
ing tho winter?"
"At present we arc hnndling fivi
hundred and fifty major, cars nn hour
each Sunday night nnd when wo hnve
the two extra ferries and slips, upon
which bids aro now open, wo will be
ab'e to care for more than bIx hundred
and seventy -five automobiles In tho
course of nn hour."

BURIED CANNON PULLED UP
Relic Uncovered at Delaware Avenue
and Arch Street
An old cannon, evidently of the revo
lutionary period, was dugup by work
men of the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany, at Delaware avenue and Arch
street, yesterday morning. Tho cannon
was found Saturday, buried JuBt below
the level of tho street, mouth upward.
Efforts to draw It loobo wero unsuccess
ful until yesterday, when tho earth wos
dug from around it, and a flvo-ton truck
was hitched to tho gun. After tugging
for nn hour, tho cannon was pulled to
tho street.
It proved to bo n smooth bore, four
inch piece, over nine feet in length,
nnd weighed at least n ton. Tho gun
was n muzzle loader, and was bo in-cruhted-
with rust that no name or
marking could be distinguished on It.
Tho cannon wus not attached to nny
base, and its upright position seemed
to Indicate thnt It had been set in the
ground ns a post for fastening ships,
as It was not fnr from tho river, and
tho water line used to bo much further
In.
Modesty is the prevailing feature In
the household of Patrick J. Kennedy,
who has becomo overnight something
of n hero In the eyes of Mrs. Patrick
J. Kennedy nnd thirteen younger Ken
nedys. Mr. Kennedy lives nt 2400 Waverly
street, and ho is spending the, holiday
breaking In n pair of shining, black,
high shoes which aro his most-prized
asot.
Tho story connected with the shoes is
this: . . , .,
Patrick Kennedy l employed by the
Americnn Railway Express Company,
at 4817 Chestnut street. Ills vocation
Is thnt of n mechanic, a trade which he
has piled for many years.
His avocation Is exchanging of wit
and humor with his co-workers In the
express office. At thnt. he is acknowl
edged to bo a master-born, and It Is
rarely, If ever, that they can get the
better of blm In tho ruplcr-Uke fool
ing. Mr. Kennedy, who, It should bo ns
sertcd once ngnln, Is a hero If ever a
man deserved thnt term, docs admit his
ability In bnntering with his fellow em
ployes. "I enn ,tnke them on separately or
nil nt once." ho declares, smiling
brondly, "nnd I like to do It. too."
Wins Popularity Contest
Thin week tho Importance of his
dashing tonruo became npparcnt.
Patrick Kennedy won, much to his own
surprise, a popularity contest conducted
by n shoe company In tho express of
fice. "To what do vou attribute your vlc
tnrvl" Patrick Kennedy was asked.
"Oh, that I could not say, was
his first reply, but later he admitted
modestly that he thought his gift at
blarney and his "fooling matches
with his co-workers had won him tne
pnlr of shoes.
As ho tnlked vnrlous members of tho
Kennedy fnmlly, ranging from nbouc
six years to thirteen, grouped around
their father and examined tho visitor
with contemplative interest. Right here
Patrick Kennedy's modesty cropped up
again.
"Doesn't the high cost of living
worry you?" he was asked.
"It sure docs. sir. I'll say that."
"Rut you evidently didn't let It
worry you," wns tho hesitating re
mark, as tho visitor's eye rested on
one and another of, tho younger genera
tion of Kennedys.
. Right here Fnther Kennedy mnde one
of those profound remarks which a man
mnkes only once or twice, in n lifetime.
Rescued at Shore
He looked down nt tho vounitcr gener-
ntlon of Kennedys nnd said with n kind
of philosophical whimsicality:
"They come under 'cost,' sir; that's
a fact."
It was a technical business expres
sion, but Its meaning was clear. No
body could say thirteen children were,
commercially speaking, "nn asset" or
"revenue." Patrick Kennedy's face
relaxed Into, a smile.
One Boy in Aviation
"But they're fine youngsters," he
said. "And one of rav older boys is in
tho aviation out nt Kelly Field, Texas,
and served through the war, like the
good lad he Is. My eldest Is in Irclnnd
he's six foot two nnd others have
left the home nest nnd begun to scatter.
"So after all, tho high cost of living
nnd all these other things they talk
about don't bother me so much. I'm
hnppy In my work and they seem to
like me there, which Is pleasing to me,
nnd nt home I have n fine big family
Vho nro growing up around me nnd
making names for themselves.
"Why shouldn't I bo hnppy7"
