Mr. llek 1 nn enthusiastic backer nf tlie
project. He believes that It can be carried
threugli successfully and he has been giving
'considerable attention te it. Something
needed te be done te arouse a greater in
terest in it and te et an example te the
rest of us. This Mr. Bek has done by his
public-spirited nnd generous offer. It Is a
challenge te ethers te prove thnt they also
are interested in the. success of the fair.
Nothing definite bat been done, and one
ef the reasons urged in explanation is thai
he money has been available. Mr. Bek new
aays In effect: "Here Is SL'JO.OOO te be used
In paying Mr. Hoever's saluiy. Ask Mm
Without delay te take the place and te get
en the job as seen as he can ele-e up the
work In which he Is engaged in Washing
ton. "
Lack of funds can no longer be ucil as an
ncuc for postponing action. The impor
tance of haing the Director licnern! en the
job as early as pnihli Is se clear te every
thinking person that with the money te pay
him provided it is impossible te imagine uny
reasonable cxeue for trying te make the

t INCREASE OF RAIL ACCIDENTS
A VERDICT of guilty against Charles
Evans and Walter Yeakel, conductor
and engineer of the passenger train wrecked
JiBryn Athyn en December 3, would, even
,lf it were rendered, provide no adenunri nn-
rer te the questions raised by -'c4t8fttieph-'ij
lives. Ner would it explain why railway
accidents of one sort or another are mere
Numerous than they used te be en almost all
American reads.
It has been clear from thp first that a
haphazard system of operation was main
tained en the line en which the Bryn Athyn
Swreck occurred. Normally, with the usual
Checks and counter-checks provided for
yallway trains such a disaster should have
been virtually Impossible. Accusations are
made automatically against train crews
ifter every great smash. .Sometimes they
are justified and sometimes they are net.
On lines that formerly were almost acci
dent proof miner wrecks and serious ones
kre reported almost dally. Has the old
fashioned railway discipline been relaxed
for emple)es nnd operating officials alike?
Are the reads, in the absence of funds nec
.essary for efficient equipment, trusting occa
sionally te luck? Such questions as these
are even mere important than lie question
of the guilt or innocence of the two trainmen
Involved in this particular instance.
GETTING AT IT
fnHE need for concerted and organized
X action if shipping is te be attracted te
this pert has impressed itself upon a let of
business men. They have met and np np
Peinted a committee te recommend a plan.
Their purpose, as we understand it, is te
Stake some urrnngements by which cargoes
Will be gathered for ships sailing te various
parts of the world and by which ships te
carry the cargoes will be brought te th"
Delaware Itiver piers.
At present ships come here for cargoes
and sail away without theln, and freight
for distant ports lies en the wbunes for
weeks because no ship for the pert of desti
nation has appeared. There Is .freight
enough originating in the territory tributary
te this pert te fill twice as many ships as
call here, but there has never been any
concerted effort te bring It here.
Mr. Sproule, the Director of the r.
partment of Wharves, Decks and Terries,
.is chairman of the new committee. He ih
Vfamlllar with the problem. Under his di
rection something progressive is likely te
Im done.

THE LOOKERS-INTO-YOUR-SOUL:
A WORD ABOUT JOBS AND SUCH
8eme College Professors Who Want te
Revive the Vanishing Fad of
"Personality Plus"
TTEUE is something new nnd tiet inspir-
Ing from tlic colleges. Professors of
psychology from half a dozen faculties iiae
met and talked nnd done the Inevitable
American thing. They hae incorporated
tliemclve.. And they want te teach busi
ness men hew te test the menial capacities
and plumb the souls of job-hunters.
Why these professional quick thinkers
didn't think mere quickly, why they have
arrived late in a field of endeavor left almost
barren by shrewd gentlemen and ladles who
had no college degrees te lmlp them, is
difficult te understand. The amateurs, made
the met and thnt was n great deal by
$ sternal ic exploitation of the wholly doubt
ful ernneiuii' principle of Personality Plus
while th" fad lusted.
A pi'holegvt is n peren who Mines at
you keenly and blurts unexpected questions
and tests your nene reflexes and leeks, or
thinks lie leeks, te the very bottom of your
subconscious mind. Te uiakr a hit with the
Personality Plusscr, one bad te bree.e
swiftly into his office, flash a hundred -can
dle-pewer smile of confidence, ndmlnlster the
Iren handclasp, talk in short, smart sen
tences, wear arrow-cellar clothes and, above
all, maintain an aggressive manner in what
was blithely advertised as a Conflict of Wills.
Natural modesty was Inevitably fatal in
such contacts with folk who caused a geed
many business men te believe that the slinpe
of a man's head or the color of bis eyes or
some peculiar detail of his ancestral history
revealed such capacities as he had for selling,
let us say, hardware.
Hail Henry Ferd or the w Nihil youth
that was Themas EdNen applied for a job
te a Personality Piusser he probably would
hae been turned away. Eer Tem and
Henry and men of their sort knew enough.
even when they were ery young, te know knew
that they didn't knew it all.
The young men with Personality Plus
were for a time the darlings of the business-efficiency
experts. But their sun is
setting new. They hnvc been selling tee
much wildcat stock. They have been
figuring tee conspicuously in thnt peculiar
group which lives in the belief that the one
Important thing in life Is te get the money.
Business men arc pretty .liberal-minded.
They will try almost anything once. But
they have come te realize that the quali
ties of mind which a particular man may
bring te a particular job are of secondary
Importance In a final analysis.
What a man does with his talents is the
thing thnt matters. And no efficiency test
is adequate te determine the degree of n
man's honesty or tbe nnture of his secret
purposes in life.
J(t"The scientific control of conduct." ob
serves Prof. J. McKeen Cattell, formerly
et Columbia University nnd new president
of the Incorporated psychologists, "may be
come of greater economic importance than
tbe use of electricity or steel."
That sounds tall. Let it pass. Whnt
we should like te knew is what is te be
come of the supposedly divine right of human
beings te control their own Impulses. What
dark and dismal btate of life are these
professional quick-thinkers thinking of?
Is existence te be formalized beyond nil
toleration or endurance?
It Isn't. The drift new is the ether way,
even if they have net been aware of it In
some of the universities. It was the late
Dr. Huge Muensterburg who, ns a member
of the Harvard faculty, sought first te apply
psychological principles te commerce and
Invented a Lie Detector that never detected
any lie and left behind blra a memory of
pure Germanism gene slightly mad.
Psychology has never mixed well with
business. And the reasons for Its failure
ought te be clear te any psychologist worth
bis salt. He, better than any one else,
ought te knew that a man is never quite
himself when he is hunting a job. He Is
net en even ground with the bland and well
fed expert In psychology who pups sharp
questions at him about the relativity of stars
or the color of his grandmother's hnlr and,
perhaps, straps queer devices en him te
test his bleed pressure.
Under such circumstances any man with
normal self-respect Is likely te be n't a
less even if he hasn't a hunger-complex
te make him hesitate, and stammer.
The way te knew whether u man is fit
for a job 1b te give him un opportunity te
work with a calm mind. Henry Ferd was
wiser than any of these college professors
when he said that every man is geed for
something and that' the way te knew what he
Is geed for is te' let him work and watch
him as he gees along.
A really geed mnn hasn't get it In his
heart te bluff. His own personality is
enough for him. He wouldn't have It
plussed, even if he could, by any system of
claptrap devised by people who have been
making money by the commercialization of
a principle of science which no one is able
yet fully te understand.
If you believe Dr. Nicholas Murray But
ler, much is fundamentally wrong with the
whele educational system In the United
States. The members of tbe Psychology
Corporation will be lucky if some business
man or ether doesn't ask them why they
didn't try their efficiency system en tbe
universities.
SAME OLD BUNK
OBJECTION te the sales tax In the West
and Middle West Is based en the con
tention that It enables wealth te escape
the major part of the burden. Thus muddy
thinking persists. There is no reason wiiy
In u democracy any man should carry mere
thnn his share. Under n soles tux his share
would be based en what he buys. Naturally,
he would pay a higher tax en the purchase
of a high-powered car than en a illwer. On

MAYOU MOORE'S solicitude ever the
protection of the public Investment In
the Frankford elevated line Is commendable.
It is his duty te use all his Influence te get
the greatest possible return en the cost of
the line.
But it is nlse his duty te exert himself
te get the line In operation In such a way
as te serve the greatest possible number of
people.
If any reasonable arrangement can be
made with the P. It. T. Company te oper
ate the line In connection with the Market
street line that arrangement should be ac
cepted. A preposition has been made by the tran
sit company te connect the Market street
line witli the Frankford linn and te glve
free transfers fnmi the Intersecting surface
lines te the Frniikferd elevated as tliey are
ghen in West Philadelphia te the Market
street elevated, and te pay the city n pro
gressively increasing rnte of interest en Its
Investment until C per cent is reached.
Mayer Moere, however, is Insisting thnt
the transit company shall pay 5 per cent
en the Frankford Investment from the
beginning. But there Is no indication at
the present time that the P. It. T. Com
pany can be persuaded te agree te pay 5
per cent from the beginning: neither is there
any Indication that the City Council will
insl-t en It. And there is an undoubted
ilemniid thnt some arrangement be made at
once for putting the Frankford line at the
service of the people.
The Majer lias nnneuiired that he In
tends te go out among the people te tell them
why the city should insist en 5 per cent
from the beginning. He Is likely te discover
that the people are mere deeply Interested In
the operation of the cars than In the details
of the terms of operation. They have waited
for the fulfillment of premises made many
times and broken ns often, nnd they are In
no mood for further delay.
They knew that the city Is getting no
return new en the investment In the Frank
ford line, nnd has been getting none, and
that the longer the line is allowed te remain
unused the longer will the date of earnings
be postponed. Between the two plans, the
people would n thousand times rather have
the enrs running en the line with no earn
ings te pay the interest en the bends than
te have the line unused with the city in
the same financial condition.
The campaign of education for the people
which the Mayer is proposing may prove te
lie 11 cnmpnlgn which will educate the Mayer
himself.

RUM AND THE DRUGGIST
Leaders In the .Pharmaceutical Pre
' feislen Considering New Cede
of Ethlee Dr. La Wall en the
Subject Modern Con
ditions Demand It
By GEORGE NO McCAIN
SOME time since a citizen with a marked
Milesian 'accent and a commercial air
called at the offices of the Philadelphia Col Cel Col
lege of Pharmacy.
He desired te see any one of the pro
fessors, "Fer what purpose?" be. was asked.
"I want te hire several registered phar
macists," he explained.
"What for?"
"Well, ye' sec, I've taken out n license
te sell liquor as a druggist, but they tell me
I've get te imvc n registered pharmacist te
sell It."
"Yeu nre net a druggist, then?"
"Oh, no; I'm just going Inte the busi
ness te sell liquor from my drug Btere.'"
It Is wholly unnecessary te soy that he
received short shrift in his quest for pro
fessional men te serve as bartenders.
CHARLES II. LA WALL, eminent
-f ni
annlvtlcal chemist and dean of the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Sci
ence, answers two interesting questions In
his characteristically direct and vigorous
manner. They nre:
De druggists need a new cede of ethics?
Is the profession of pharmacist being de
moralized by the operation of the Velstead
law?
As n preliminary, Dr. La Wall Informed
ine that strenuous efforts have been and nre
being made te protect the pharmaceutical
profession against -the temptations thrown
In its wny since the enactment of the Vol Vel
stead law.
"There is need for n new cede of ethics
for th pharmaceutical profession," lie said.
"The subject has been discussed for years,
but conditions surrounding the enforcement
of the Velstead law nre rendering such a
course absolutely Imperative."
DU. LA WALL read a paper before the
American Pharmaceutical Association
et its last meeting in New Orleans in which
he outlined 11 cede for adoption by present
day associations.
In JS4S the first cede of ethics .was
ndepted by the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy.
It was the first lu this country.
A revised cede wns adopted In 1000, which
Is still observed.
"It Is net improbable," said Dean La
Wall, "thnt two important changes will be
made nt tlie College of Pharmacy next year.
"We shall compel students entering the
college te subscribe te a cede of ethics, or
set et rules, ut the beginning of the course
Instead of ut tlie end.
"This would enable the college authori
ties te detect Infractions of this cede at any
period before graduation, nnd make it pos
sible for them te net accordingly.
"In the second place It Is net improbable
that the institution will limit the number
of students nnd size. of classes.
eVpHAltMACKUTICAL associations are
X . determined te maintain the dignity of
the profession. Fer that reason they arc
using every effort te drive out of their ranks
these guilty of violating the rules by yielding
te the temptations that arc offered by un
scrupulous and mercenary persons nnd firms
who euguge in the liquor traffic under the
guise of operating drug bteres.v
"While the present cede of ethics, te
which students must subscribe, expressly
condemns the sale or dispensation of liquors,
stimulants, opiates or' injurious drugs, ex
cept lu nccordance with a physician's pre
scription, nnd in a perfectly legitimate man
ner, changing conditions demand a revision
of the cede."
Dr. La Wall suggested ns a basis for dis
cussion at the New Orleans national meet
ing, in the hope of procuring a cede of
ethics te meet the requirements of present
day conditions, the following among a large
number of ether suggestions :
"The pharmacist should net sell or dis
pense powerful drugs und poisons discrim
inatingly te persons net properly qualified
te administer or use them, nnd should use
every proper precaution te safeguard the
public from polseus nnd from all habit
forming medicines,
"The pharmacist, being legally Intrusted
with the dispensing nnd sale of narcotic
drugs and nlcohelic liquors, should merit
this responsibility by upholding and con
forming te the Inws nnd regulations govern
ing the distribution of these substances."
THERE nre only twenty States in the
Union, which require college graduation
as a prerequisite te the practice of phar
macy. In the remaining States any one can be
come a pharmacist who can answer satis
factorily the questions of the Examining
Beard.
Under such circumstances there is really
no cede of ethics nnd nothing te prevent the
druggist from turning his place Inte a bar
room if he be elects.
In the final analysis, under the Velstead
law, the prescribing physician is tbe real
culprit, however.
He issues the prescription, the druggist
fills it. Of course, if the druggist is run
ning n bar behind the prescription counter,
a doctor's prescription is an unnecessary
adjunct te his business.
A story that is vouched for by a promi
nent physician injects nn entirely new
scheme Inte the devious ways of the high
class rum-hound nnd bootlegger.
A ceuiile of physicians in this city who
issue prescriptions for whiskv by the pint
require the druggist te withheld four ounces
out of each pint, which Is set nslde for the
physicians, who drop around and collect it
nt frequent intervals.
THE Interdependence of physician and
pharmacist is everywhere set forth in
ancient records.
It began IWOO years B. C, when the
Egyptian physician -priest sent his prescrip
tions te unether 'priest te be filled nnd who,
accompanied by n third, visited the sick oue
and administered the icmedy.
The Jewish physlclnn und teacher Mai Mai
menides, who lived In Spain In the twelfth
century A. D., contributed te professional
ethics 0 wonderful enth nnd prayer.
In this great physician's enth, admin
istered te his students, he prays:
"That neither greed for gain nor thirst for
fnme, nor vain ambition,
May interfere with my activity.
The rich and peer, the geed and bad,
enemy and friend,
Oh, let me e'er beheld In the afflicted and
the suffering,
Only the human being."
Boleyn, n cousin of Anne Uelcyn, Queen
of Henry VIII, included in 1530 iu his cede
of ethics ab a plinrmiiclst the follewing:
"The npetliecnry must serve Ged; be
elennly nnd pity the pder. His gardcu must
be ut hand with plenty of herbs, heeds and
roots.
"He must hnte his mortars, stills, pets,
filters, glasses, boxes clean nnd sweet.
"He must hnve two places in his shop
0110 most clean for physic and the base place
for chlrurgic stuff.
"He Is neither te Increase nor diminish
the physician's prescription.
"He is uelther te buy nor sell rotten
drugs.
"He is te meddle only in his own voca
tion." Adherence te the latter phrase today

"Music Week will be held the first week
efM.ay," said Mr. Braun, "net only in
Philadelphia, but in the entire State. The
idea of Music Week erigluutcd In New
Yerk, where two such weeks have been ob
served and n third is new being planned.
The idea proved te be se successful there
that it spread rapidly ever the whole coun
try, and new mere than sixty cities have
cither held Music Weeks et nre planning
them. , ,
"When the idea wns first suggested for
Philadelphia .the manifold advantages were
se obvious thnt it was determined te held
0110 this year. Then we found that Dr.
Hellls P. Dann, the State superintendent
of music in the public schools, was planning
for n Stale-wide Music Week. Wc get
together with Dr. Dnnn, and it was decided
te hnvc the week the same in both State and
city.
Object of Music Week
"The primary object of Music Week is
te spread as far ns possible the knewledge
nf tlie nrt mill te cultivate the love for It,
especially iu the home nud in the schools.
We feel that there should be nt. least one
week out of the tifty-twe in wiiicu tlie peo
ple should pay espcclnl attention te this
great cultural and civilizing force.
"Our plans are naturally far from com
plete ns jet, because the deeper wc go Inte
the subject the greater its possibilities ap
pear und the mere fnr-reaching Its results
may be made. But among ether things we
intend te pay especial nttentten te the
schools, for we dearly realize that the music
of the future depends te tt very large extent
upon these vvhii today nre children. They
are tlie ones who, in the next generation,
will give the support which is essential te
all of the line arts.
"In the schools wc Intend te have con
tests In sight rending und In memorizing,
two of the most important elements in the
cultivation of practical musicianship lu
children, nnd there will be ether features
for the school children ns well as these.
Next te the home the school is tlie greatest
factor In the propagation of n feeling for
geed music.
"Frem the very beginnings of the nrt
music has always been closely allied te the
church. It wns the church that really gave
music Its first home nud did much te stimu
late the nrt iu itscxtremc infancy, and this
close companionship has existed te the pres
ent day. It is our Intention te fester this
Intimacy, which, through many centuries,
lias made for the benefit of both the church
nud the art.
"Therefore the church will be asked te
de its share during Music Week. It Is our
Intention le ask nil the church choirs te
held special music services some, time during
thii lnys allotted te this purpose, nnd the
clergymen will be usked te prench one ser
mon en the subject of music wherever they
tind it possible te de se.
"The co-eperntlon of all the choral soci
eties of the city will also be asked, and we
believe that these organizations will cheer
fully de what they cun te help the cause of
music, for which they huve done nnd nre
still doing such splendid service. Much of
the widespread Interest in music that
exists today is due te the work of the choral
organizations net euly in training audiences,
but in the practical part of singing ns well.
Their uld will be of great valuu in making
the week successful, and we hope te have
several special concerts during the week by
thebe beilles.
Music In the Heme
"But most of nil, we want te get mublc
Inte the homes of the people of Philadel
phia. H the musical art is te prosper uud
te tnkc Its proper place In the hearts of thu
people ns n whole, the home must be made
the center of it. There is net enough of
this lu the United States new, and vvu hope
uud believe tlmt Music JVeek presents nn
opportunity for us te stait 11 movement
which, when its cultural nn.d recreational
value is once realized by parents ami chil
dren alike, will keep up indefinitely.
"We want te have just us many home
M.ltnlfl.nnd little nrivnte lnuslciileN ns nm.

prebubly be a few prizes awnrded for the
best programs rendered in the homes by the
members of the family und friends who arc
In the habit of playing or of blnging to
gether. "I ennnet cmphnslze this fenture of Music
Week tee strongly. If it be possible for us
te briug music into the homes the musical
future of the city will be assured. The cul
tivation of music nt home will lead inevi
tably te the support of the nrt when it Is
presented by professional musicians nt pub
lic concerts. In Music Week the home is
the goal nt which we must aim, with the
school n close second. When music once
takes its proper position in the home and In
the school there will be no cause te worry
about the maintenance of public organiza
tions, either large or small.
Music Teachers te Be Ashed
"The music teachers are also a very im
portant factor in our plans ns at present
outlined. They will be asked te organize
ns many recitals of pupils during the week
11s they can und te held ns many contests
as they think advisable among their pupils
during this period. Any work which they
may de for the advancement of the nrt will
net only be a public service, but will ro re ro
deund te the benefit both of the community
nnd of themselves.
"We nlse plan te have a great public
festival soma time during the week In the
Purk. At. this we want te have an Immense
massed chorus made up of all the members
of tlie ciiernl organizations of the city nnd
some community singing by the persons who
attend this fenture of the week.
"These who ure interested! In musfcal
contests of uny kind and music festivals
originally planned for the spring will he re
quested te postpone their activities until the
first week iu May, se that they may be made
ndditlenal features of Music Week. We
ennnet have tee many activities of nuy kind
related te music nnd its advancement during
this period.
Tlie Total Result '

hardly be estimated nt this time, but ns geed

und te the (me nrts in general, but te every

tem-erted nnd enthusiastic support of
Mush: Week by the citizens of the com cem
miinlty is the only thing needed te make
our festival the greatest of Its kind that has
ever been held in the United States. Phlla
delphia lias long since proved th0 quality
of Its support of the art, aud this buppert
comes from every stratum of society. It ia a
art which makes u universal appeal, and
for ths renbeu as well as from motives of
