PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,' OCTOBER 17, AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Garden Club of America Is New Hold Held ing Convention In Philadelphia, the City of Its Birth By SAllAII I). LOWMK THIS week there Is mieting in Philadel phia an ergnnlrntlnn of women that is, I venture te sn.v . the most delightful and re warding of the many clubs nnd committees nnd societies te which Its members belong. Possibly n louse of duty inistht make them miss Its meetings for these of some ether seelet; possibly the c irctinistnnces of their lives might compel them te forge their mem bership in its wide cinle. but ltn charm lies in the fnrt that these eligible for its member ship must pessrss n thing which in itself is both beautiful nnd chnrnilnc and geed te hiic. and et which Involves neither wealth en the part of the owner nor nn exclusive enjoyment. In fact, part of its vnliie is that It can be shared and suffer no diminution by constant use; n constant .vleldlng up of ItB gifts, indeed, Is a necessit of Its very life. This organization, then, which involves possession anil nle the dcllghta of sharing, nnd which implli s n common taste for n beautiful and charming occupation nnd is net se much a plensam dut as u natural pleas ure -what i- it hut the Garden Club of America, that is holding its autumnal meet ing in this cit of gardens?

Hut beginning with Germnntewn and Chest nut Hill nnd making h wide circle tvithln the (itv limits east, west, north, south, there nre mere gardens nnd park-like grounds under biautiful cultivation than most cities of the world c,in beast; while if the nearby leuiitiy plnces of the citbeus of Philadelphia are included and the should be included as part of the cit.v's pla.vgrennd tliere is no such garden spot ns ours in all America. 1 1 Is net n foil or n modern fashion with us te have gardens, or te exchange seeds and cuttings, or te compare notes en cultivation, or te discuss soils nnd composts nnd fer tilisers. Our parents did it before us nnd their forefathers before them. Ker genera tions our well-to-de citizens hnve built smallish plnin beuses for town use nnd spacious houses In biead garden places for country use.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS Daily Talks Willi Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They Knew Best MAHLONW. NEWTON On the Hetel Situation In Philadelphia TIIL hotel problem in its rclutlen te the coming Scsqui-Centennial and ether great assemblages has already received con sideration from the hotel men of the cit.v. according te Mnhlen W. Newton, president of the Philadelphia Hetel Men's Association, and although nothing hns ns ,ct been done, still the general plan of procedure lias been practically arrived nt. "It is net likely that nny new hotels will be built te accommodate the immense crowds vvhieh will fleck te the city nt that time." snid Mr. New ten. "because it never p.tjs te put up an even fairly expensive building te qcfommedretc a temporary rush of people te a city. "The unfortunate experiences of the Cen tennial of liSTti ere btill fresh in tin minds of these of us xvhe were in the business or tinsel affiliated with It at that time. Then there were a number of new hotel buildings put up te accommodate the crowds which were expected and which actually came te the exhibition, but nil of them lest money and some of the ventures cost tlieir backets ever thing the had. ISrortien Costs Are High "The trouble is that it costs n let te ei ect n new hotel building, nnd the lime when it Is filled Is tee sheit te allow tlie piojecters te get beck the money which thev hnve invested in it. te say nothing of show ing n pretit. The time et the Centennial el IS "tl was about six months, and in all of these six 'months there was net what might be called n geed business. Te get back the money investM In n new hotel bulldinc, even of the temperar.v kind, full n jear Is ic qiitred, and fev If nnv exhibitions Inst that long. Therefeie there is net much proba bility that there will be new buildings elected te take care of the HCt! crowds. "in that 1S70 Centennial, business, from the standpoint of the hotel man, was slew in starting. The crowds In the opening weeks weie net nearly se lnige as lind been expected, niidit was net until in ar the chxe of the exhibition that there were lenlly a large number eif portions from out of town in attendance. Cor this reason the men who erected the tempeinr.v hotel buildings get away te a peer stmt and suffered a less pi the opening weeks which the were never able te make up. There was a num ber of these buildings put up near the gteunds, while down In the citv prepei there win seveial original housing piniecl-, stui ted Net n single one of cither class mat I knew of made nn mono, and must et them suffered a benv.v tinanciiil le-s "These housing arrangements in tin c ity consisted of throwing n number of dwelling houses tegethei In the form of a tetnpetai.v hotel. While 111 thin case there was net the great cost nf ciuistructleil whiih would have te be met in the case of an Uitiicl new hotel building, still the cost of milking tin ph.vsi . al changes Iu the buildings and luting up tlie rooms was censideiubb - se great, in fact, that few of them ever get beck the mono they had spent III the ventuiis. Arinmnindiiting Visitors ' Hul, of course, the hotel men of the eliv will have te devise some manner of taking care of the crowds at the coming cxl'lbitien, and this we new propose te de bv taking advantage eif and using the verv fee t whv tlii1 Centennial of Si) did net pa the hotel investors. "Philadelphia is, above all, a i ity of homes That is its popular nnine. and it is well deserved, for statistics show thut In proportion te population a far grcuter num ber of fnnulies in Philadelphia live in their own homes, and net in apartments or hotels, than in nil ether large city Iu the ceuntr. "New, the reason wh the hotel invest ments In le.70 did pet pa expenses was because of tin er.v lurge number of private families who rented rooms te the visitors for the lime which they spent at the Cen tennial, These visitors et en gient fair in t like ever one else -they are shoppers, and tiie ate en the lookout te get the best tlii-v can for the lowest possible price Thev cant he blamed for this, for it l 'dint eli'I eine is doing nil the time The Private-Heme Itenms "The piivnte families v he hail two or three rooms te spnie slmpl fitted tlieni up and tented them at prlei s with which th'e hotel, ""lid ""I compete. Thev plated theli names and the number of persons whom the could take with the exposition authori ties', nnd as tin Ir prices vvere lower than tlieM' of the hotels thev vvere seen .hllcd up. Thev mode some extra uieiie.v ami the H),. i omiiiedutidiis which they offered wete In nuiKt casts mh (iiate te the requirements of the visitors, and evirvbeelv was satisfied exiept these who had invested large sums in hotel buildings.

"Naturally there will t many persons who will prefer te stay at a hotel while they 1921 "L-LEMME OUT!" are in Philadelphia, but this type is prettv certain te engage their accommodations in ndvance. It is the mere transient soil ei patron who is looking te gel the best room ing facilities he can nt the lowest .price pos sible who will go te the private home. It W the desire of the hotel men of the city te be able te take care of ever one who comes te Philadelphia for rooms for n long or a sheii period, and nt present this seems te be the most feasible plan. We feel that it will net bn piacticablc te build new buildings for them, with this vast rooming resource avail able, especially as the future of n building erected for n hotel Is alwa.vs extreme! problematical. The Hetel Situation "Furthermore, the hotel men of Philadel phia and. for that matter, these of ether large cities, arc net in it position new te make a lurge investment with cxceedlngl nebulous possibilities of a return en the enpitiil iuvestcd. te sn.v nothing of the almost certain assurance that there will be no piefit en It. Conditions since the be ginning of the xv ar have been xcr.v hard en the hotel business. The taxes have been enormously increased by the Government and the bar privileges have been abolished. And It must net he forgotten that the bar profits paid for rooms which were unused when business was net geed nnd ninde It possible for the hotels te rent rooms at n consider censider nhl lower price than is possible new. "Then. tee. wages nnd coal have advanced enormously, and nil of these hugel.v in creased expenses, with lowered receipts, must new come from the rental of Ihe rooms and the restaurant. It costs a geed-sired hotel .j."," a dav for its coal alone. Per these irnsens it is little wonder Hint the hotels have te charge mere for their accommoda tions thnn the fermeil did. Philadelphia Hetel Conditions "Philadelphia in normal limes lias ample hotel accommodations te meet all ilcmiinds put upon them. The hotels of the cit have nlvvajs kept well abreast of the times m modern improvements. "If we have net the number of von large hotels here which New Yerk and Chicago have. It is because they nre no required. Philadelphia has net the Immense tratisieni or visiting population which ther.e ether cities have, and it is this population which makes hotels a geed investment. It is ,-nid that there me every day iu New Yerk sev eral hundred thousand persons who nie iheie teinperaril.v . and these pi rsens must all leek for their accommodations te the hotels. Net a Hetel Town "In addition tn this, Philadelphia is net a hotel town. It is n e ity of individual homes 'J'ic suburbanites de net often re main in town ever night when the spend nil evening iu the cit . ns the de In New Yerk le the numbers of thousands ever.x da.v of the week. These people go te the hotels', and the are iiniull willing and able te puv for the best jk eommednlioiis. Hut the Philadelphia suburbs me misIIj reached b meter or liaiii without the ride of an hour or mere through the cit.v, ns is t Ik case in New Yerk, and theiefere New Yeik has a lucrative class of undo ffir the hotel, xx Iiir Ii does net exlsl Iu Philadelphia. "These are enlx u few of the icaniis v ),, It seenis undesliable new te r root extra hotel buildings ter tin iiiing Se sqiil-Cuiitcnuial Nevertheless, the hotel miu of Philadelphia are kienlv mlve te the t-itiiutien, ami we believe that v.c shall be able te cure for an nuiiii'ci- ei persons who may visit the r 1 1 at that time."
