July 7, 1922 - .. --.. i - - A FRUIT OF SEASON-RUSHING POPULAR tlcmnml for llic new bench at League Island I'urk was picturesquely crystallized in tbe very Informal use of the striuicl made by bntliers laH Sunday. While nn infrnctlen of n-guliitlens Is net te be encouraged en general principles, It is evident from the latest developments that bureaucracy and red tapcry vtere vigorously Jolted by an unexpected runhins of the sea son. The prolonged and pedantic dispute nbeut the jurisdiction ever tbe pink, one of the nu merous instances of the contest between the Commissioners and the muuicpnlity, secmi In a fair way te be ended, since Mayer Moere and Director Ceven have been in specting the operation nt the beach, and it Is announced that Council will shortly be asked te transfer the supervision of park bathing te the Department of l'ublle Wel fare. Meanwhile a sensible order authorizing the ust of the peel by men nnd boys, prop erly nttired. has been Issued. It would be ferttlnntc if the fermnl opening, with the battheucs nnd locker accommodations com pleted, could be timed with the inevitable return of the "het spell." f HARDING AND WEEKS AGREE TIIKHH seems te he an Impression abroad thnt there is nn irreconcilable differ ence between the rernarks en prohibition mnde by Secretary Weeks at Columbus. O., en June 15, nnd the remarks of President Harding nt Marlen en July -1. Mr. Weeks, nccerdlng te the published reports of his address, said that "whatever may be the individual views of citizens en prohibition, there Is no question nbeut the disquietude, resulting from the adoption of the amendment nnd the pnssnge of the laws for Its enforcement." He said also that it Is Impossible te mnke an abrupt change in n matter affecting the habits of the citizens without crenting violent opposition nnd pro pre pro Teklng much criticism of the Government. This is n statement of se evident n truth that it is difficult te understand the sensa tion that it created. It is neither nn In In eorsement nor u condemnation of prehibl- Mr. Hnrdlns Mid that the Klghtecnth Amendment should be enforced. He could net verv well have said anything else if he were going te tefer te the matter nt all. But he did net say that the Velstead net heuld be continued In force, nnd lie np pnrently took especial pains te avoid re ferring te thnt law. The Velstead net Is n tempernry, amend able stntute passed te carry out the provl prevl provl siens of the Eighteenth Amendment te the Constitution. If It Is unsatisfactory It can be repealed and n new law passed in its place nt the discretion of Congress. Mr. Harding is very well aware of this, and It may be thnt he expects something of the kind te hnppen. after n little mere ex perience with the difficulties in enforcing the present law, which declares every bever age containing mere thnn ene-hnlt of 1 per cent of nlcohel te be Intoxicating. There docs net seem te be nny radical disagreement between the expressed views of the President nnd his Secretary of War. The Secretary spoke nbeut the dissatisfac tion with the prohibitory laws and the President spoke of the necessity of enforc ing the previsions of the Constitution n necessity te which Mr. Weeks would agree if the matter were put up te him. AN ENGLISH NEWBERRY CASE THERE is nothing new in the scandal ever the conferring of peerages in Eng land. Centuries nge the Itrltish Kings gave titles nnd estates te their favorites, and the eiler nobility which had received its titles in n slmllnr way from enrller Kings were scandalized. They did net welcome the new recruits te the privileged class. The com moners were net particularly interested In the matter, for they were net seriously nffcctetl bj it. They had nothing te de with the Government nnd did net question the right of the aristocracy te de as It plcnsed. Llejd Geerge n few years nge, when he levied heavy taxes upon the estntes of the nobility , was se bold as te remind the ob jecting nobles that objection te contribution te tlic expenses of government mine with bad grace from them, ns they were profiting by the Income from cstnlis which had been confiscated from the rightful owners and conferred upon their ancestors by the fuer of the King. This little dose of truth si lenced them nnd he put his tnxatlen plan through. As demecrney has developed nnd as the power of the Pnrllnment has Increased titles of nobility came te he conferred upon pnrty favorites by the pnrty In power. A man who had made n generous campnlgu con tribution wns rcwurded with a peernge as n matter of course. This became se common that the Prime Minister and his Cabinet were regnrded ns the finnl nnd ultimate au thority in the matter of making peers. There was sy much talk te this effect in Londen a few jears nge that King Edward resented it nnd caused his private secretary te issue n statement that peers were mnde by the King nnd by no ene else. This meant, of course, only that the list of new peers submitted by the mlnl'try must be satisfactory te tne King, it uid net mean that the King would make peers against the advice of his Ministers. There is a notorious instance of a veto by Ihe ministry of n peerage desired by King Edward for one of his intimate per sonal friends. Lord Salisbury was then Premier. It is said that when the King v proposed the peerage for Ills friend Salis bury announced that if he Insisted en It he would have te get n new Prime Minister, Salisbury had his way. Llejd Geerge has been making a let of 5 riw peers with thp consent of King Geerge. ve ucen men who nave Deen gener- heir, contributions te his political Efts Piieucnts are. ke dMetifeeta' l-- htVW . iL iTfv .Lfl ir - c k. -. .- n ' V3a-. ji i-Jehn C.

USES OF A SENSE OF HUMOR IN OUR NATIONAL AFFAIRS The Example of a Traffic Policeman and Ben W. Heeper, of the Rail road Laber Beard v . , ' YOU wouldn't suppose, contemplating 'nn ordinary or extraordinary traffic po liceman such ns the estimable Jehn Mc Mantis, who swings the signs at Fifteenth nnd Walnut streets, that he could be in nny way related in significance te affairs of national Impert. Yesterday McMnnus was celebrated In the news because some one discovered that he had that rarest of gifts, n sense of humor. At the same moment n sense of humor native In Ben W. Heeper, chairman of the Railroad Laber Beard, was reacting te save an ugly and dangerous sit uation en the railroads after mere logic and technical reasoning had tended only te mnke It worse. McMnnus, if nil we hear is true, doesn't fiercely ride people who err unconsciously ngnlnst miner traffic rules. He doesn't feel that his uniform, his dignity and his cnuse nre Insulted by every meter driver who falls Inte an unimportant mistake. He seems te have learned what nil extremely wise people learn sooner or later, that when you laugh nt n man derisively, brutally, angrily or sympathetically, as circumstances dictate j en go further thnn any legal instrumentali ties will ever get jeu in the effort te dis cipline his soul. Mr. Heeper, n member of the Public Greup of the Railroad Laber Beard, may be distantly related te Jehn McMnnus. The fiercest friends of the Insurgent shepmen, writing of Heeper, cnll him "a sensible nnd kindly man." And it wns sense nnd kindli ness rather thnn any formal rule or dictum that broke n deadlock created by legalistic nnd routine minds between the Federal offi cials and the rail corporations en one hnnd nnd the strikers en the ether. Had Heeper nctcd in the manner made familiar by the conventional public official he would have steed sternly upon his dig nity, instead of sending n very calm nnd conciliatory message te Jewell, the shop shep men's leader. He would have thought of his pride nnd he would have burnt elnberate offerings te it. He couldn't have found It In his henrt te unbend nnd be human. What Heeper seems te have perceived was the human nnd emotional factors bo be hlnd the barricade of claims nnd counter claims erected between the Laber Beard nnd the strikers. "After all," he seems te have said te himself, "these men nre in nil essentials just like mc. Doubtless they think that they have the right upon their side. They are sere nnd they nre worried. Perhaps I shouldn't have cnlled them outlaws. That Is a hard word. I'll talk te Jewell again. He's a red-head, but he's human, tee." And Jewell, nt the height of his temper, seems te have been instantly softened by the sudden emergence of a sensitive nnd kindly and Informal gentleman from the chairman of the Railroad Laber Beard. Of course he'd confer! He'd confer with anybody! A sense of humor, you see, means mere thnn nn ability te perceive the ridiculous. Usually It Is founded en goodness of heart and sustnlned by breadth of view. It is, in rcnllty, a slsn of the highest form of In stinctive wisdom. Ne one knows hew much damage has been done te the world by statesmen who had no sense of humor nnd were, therefore, hnlf blind te the fundamental truths about the origins of human impulse. The strutter In public office Is always inefficient. Usually he Is a failure. The man who is forever looking nt himself in n glass and forever bent upon the maintenance of his own dig nity is obviously net sure of himself. A little of the willingness te unbend, if It existed in hnlf a dozen Important quarters, would have mnde the coal strike impossible. A sense of humor nnd the light thnt It might hnvc cast upon most of the conflict ing claims at Versailles might have suved the peace. But the humorless vanity of the diplomatists made nnjthlng like bread rea soning or humane compromises impossible. It may be that a sense of humor rather than highly involved and uncertain political formulas of n new type may be, as the Irish say, the saving of the world, If it is ever able te grew nnd flourish in the murky airs of international dlplemacj. Traffic men who rear nnd stutter nre about as useful In the streets ns the inflexible minded table-peunders nre in an important conference of any sort. It is the men with the humane nnd humorous view of life nnd people who release geed impulses In nil sorts of people and clear the jam most effectively. They go a long wny toward making people de right by making them ashamed te de w reng, Jewell and his men went by Chairman Heeper's step signal. And Instead of call Ing patrol wagons and drawing n crowd, Heeper sauntered ncress the street and leaned en the side of Jewell's car nnd talked le him goed-naturedly, as any man would de who had a right knowledge of the diffi culties of travel thnt confront most people In these unsettled nnd changing times. AN INDEX OF CIVILIZATION EVIDENCES of an orderly and Intelligent civilization are bemetlmes delusive, and no sooner is self. congratulation begun than an outbreak of crudities discomfits the opti mist. But there arc some indices of improved habits which nre unimpeachable One of these is unquestionably a recorded diminu tion of lire losses in a great urban commu nity. An exhibit of that kind, which this city Is new privileged te present, denotes net only n reduction of crime, hut of ignerance ami carelessness. It hns been some years since Philadelphia has suffered from a really large-scale con flagration. Hmnller fires also are decreas ing, Incendlnrisni has been checked te nn encouraging degree by vigorous prosecution of arson rings nnd se-called "firebugs." A community regnrd for public welfare and the security of human life is displayed in the record for the first six months of 11)22, in which there were seventy-six fewer fires than for tbe corresponding period lust .J ear, (cenfitj jear, The slneirtlng causes et accidental tgratlonssjiute backfires, carelessly i rf EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-EHILABEIiPHIA, thrown cigars and cigarettes, careless use of matches, rubbish, children playing 'with matches and defective chimneys and stoves arc also less numerously represented than during the first hnlf of' ll21. Monetary' losses have net yet been com puted, but as they, hnvc steadily declined for the last two years, the disclosure of further Improvement may be expecttd. It Is in this field that the vigilance and effi ciency of the Fire Department are se con sistently displayed. As the city of few fires, Philadelphia is earning n repute thnt logically should be the reward et nny leiig-cstnbtlshed modern metropolis with n regard for its responsi bilities. CLOTURE IN THE SENATE THE motion te restrict debate en the Tariff 1)111, mnde in the Senate en Wednesday afternoon nnd te be put te a vote today, was In conformity te a rule pnscd n few jears nge. That rule provides thnt if at any time n motion te close debate en n pending meas ure is mnde at the instance of net less than sixteen Senators, that motion shall be put te a vote without debate en the day but ene following thnt en which It wns orig inally made. Then if the motion is ndeptcd by n two-thirds vote of theso voting the mensure shall become unfinished business until It is disposed of. Thereafter no Sena Sena eor may speak mere than one hour Inclusive en the measure, en amendments te it nnd en motions related te It. Ne amendments mny be submitted save by unanimous Con sent nnd no dilatory motion may be made, nnd nil points of order shnll be decided with out dfbatc. Fifty-two Senators have asked that this cloture rule be applied te the debate en the Tariff Bill. If there nre only seventy-eight Scnnters voting today fifty -two are enough te pass the motion. The purpose of the appeal te the rule is said te be te put en record the Senators who arc sceklnz te delay the passage of the Tariff Bill for its effect en the congres sional elections. It is nn attempt te spike the guns of the opposition by holding this opposition responsible for the dclny nnd by demonstrating thnt n clear majority of the Senate is prepared te vote en the measure as seen as it can be pushed through. If the cloture rule is applied there can be only ninety-six hours of debate en it nt the most. Ne one can filibuster or make dila tory motions. ELOQUENCE REVIVED SPONTANEOUS eloquence, inspired by irresistible emotion, is rnre in modern legislative nsscmbllcs. With nil their nllegcd fondness for thcntrlclsm, even the French have been often of Inte jenrs pow erless te dispel the clouds of dullness which settle upon Parliaments. Aside from Its historical nnd political significance, there were extraordinarily stirring nrtistlc vnlucs In the pnsslennte convictions se unexpect edly expressed by Rene Vivinnl in the Chnmber of Deputies en Wednesday. The ex-Prcmlcr is of high repute as a practiced and formal orator. But he is an adroit statesman, ns his conduct en mere thnn one Important mission te the United States has demonstrated, and of late years he has reserved his skill in peroration for consciously staged occasions. Ne preparation, however, was discernible in M. Vivinni's outburst before the Depu ties, apathetic before nn earnestly delivered attack en bourgeois government In general and the French Administration in particu lar, voiced by nn nsplring young Com munist, Vnilinnt-Ceuturler. Among ether things, the roots of the war were under examination. Much of the dia tribe wns of familiar pattern nnd the lethnrgy of the listeners was nppnrcntly un disturbed until the survey of the spenker included a criticism of the gevcrnmentnl policy involved in M. Pelncnre's visit te Russia In the epochal July of 1014. Then in n twinkling the mnglc spark of person ality illumined the entire Chnmber. "If any Frenchmnn wns responsible for what happened In 1014," interrupted M. Vivinnl In n tone of ominous cnlm, "It wns I. I wns the responsible head of the Gov ernment. It is from me and net from M. Petncnrc that the explanations should be demanded. It was I," he continued, "who gave the order te mobilize. It was I who ordered the withdrawal ten miles from the frontier, se ns te avoid ns Ions ns possible any chance of conflict. If for what hap pened during these dnjs my Government is reprenchable, then it is te me that these reproaches should be addressed." But It wns manifestly unnecessary te In crease tlic pressure of criticism. Vivinnl forestalled It with his courageous confes sion of responsibility, with his masterly ex hibition of fact and with n display of mov ing eloquence nnd nrdent sincerity which recnlls a vanished parliamentary era. There were embraces nnd even kisses nt the finale, which beenme what is familiarly known ns "a typically French scene." Other countries, ether customs. Hew M. Vivinni's deeply touched audience behaved after he had revealed himself nnd released a flood of genuine emotion withheld for eight years is historically of less consequence thnn his marshaling of fncts, his chronicle of actualities, which the pest-wnr world Is in crensingly inclined te ignore. Origins of the conflict enn be traced back te the fall of man. Mere proximate causes were unquestionably imperialistic nnd eco nomic conditions, habits of thought, national rlvnlries, social customs, educational stand ards, a multitude of complex nnd overlap ping motives which the philosopher will long find n field for cxplorntlen. But of the reluctance of Trance te pro voke the conflict by capitalizing the European crisis thnt hnd arisen ever Serbia there can be little question. M. Vivinnl need net fear the consequences of avowal. His course in the Immediate war prelude was clearly pacificatery and in the noblest degree pntrietlc. Ills exhibition of the truth is particularly stimulating nt n time when the brevity of the popular memory is beclouding once startling realities. It is hinted thnt his unforeseen "recovery" may presage revived political nmbltlens. Time will demonstrate the truth or fallacy of that conjecture. It Is vividly certain, however, tiint he did revive, If merely tinnslcntly, the pulse quickening nrt of parliamentary eloquence. The thrill of his dramatic Intrusion even carries In translation nnd across the sens. If half thnt we hear is true, the next great temperance drnmn will bn called "Ten Nights in n Drug Stere," nnd the next grent drinking bong will be "Oft in the Stilly Night." And new even Honolulu reports official enthusiasm in Tokie for tlie Pacific trcutlcs, even announcing that the Japanese have ratified all the pacts. Is there no way in which the "little brown man" can be re strained from doing the right thing? New and then It becomes nppnrcnt thnt one grent evil Is required te euro another. Thus, since the farmers have taken furiously te lobbying and established a highly effi cient, aggressive nnd richly endowed or ganization of wire-pullers In Washington, th people who Blurted the fashion nre deeply concerned and arc suggesting that the national capital ought te be denned up. There may be a clean-up of the Washing ton lobbies before the country is much elder. But It Is Interesting te ebserve that the most hardened lobby organizers, who have been nt the business for a generation, found nothing' te cempiain aoem; lfuui, tne agriculturists appeared en the scins' AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Twe Waya of Building a HaUie: One' With Complaint First Hand and the Other Relayed Advan tages of the Country Towns for Mechanics Dy SARAH D. LOWRIE ' I WAS talking te an electrician yesterday who works nt his trade ''when there is n job te be done in his ' part of ihe country, or if no house is, te be wired or engine Installed he docs the mere expert re pair work In one or another of 'the village, garages, or if there is n hurry call for plumbing, which the two village plumbers are tee busy te fill, be is available : or later en In the summer, when the full tide of city excursionists Is en, he can be get for extra hours by the distracted hotel men te drive a motorcar te and from the distant railroad station. There is actually no tlme of the year in which he cannot find a job thnt requires skilled labor at geed prices within an eas$ journey of his home. His daughter Is new a trained nurse earning n top salary; his eldest son is nn electrician employed in one of the bigger cities, nnd his two younger children ere finishing high school. His wife hns an easy, convenient house with u pleas ant garden and her mother for company wncn tlic family are uwny. Beth et these ludustriens, agreeable people have had a geed start in life. The man was his father's asslstnnt. nnd his father was a prosperous country-town dentist: the wemnn of tbe family was the daughter of a music teacher. She is new better off nnd with a mere as sured prevision for her future than her par ents hnd. In the country town in which they live there Is no social difference between their family nnd the doctor's or minister's or chief merchant's. Their children bid fair te be better off nnd mere expert thun they, but along special lines. Thnt is they will con tinue te specialize if tin live in the larger cities, where a variety of jobs nre less easy te ceme by. I THINK for the purpose of the geed, all around American workman the country town, with chances in the outlying and nenrby country towns, has a far greater ad vantage than the city If he is able and willing te vary his occupation along tbe snme general line. Fortunately the unions which would prevent this in the city nre net organized in the country towns in such a wny thnt they can dictate the number of men in any one trade or in nny one job. I say fertunntely because however much benefit the city trndes unionist mny get out of the "Theu shnlts nnd thou shnlt note" of the unions, he would be ruined in the country towns by these same safeguards. Fer instance, en the new house where the mechanlclan-garageman-plumber wns vork verk ing, there were n number of carpenters who varied their labor as stonemasons and then as painters. The bend workman of each job. i. e., carpentry, stone masonry, painting and papcrhenging, stuck te his particular work. but the head builder shuffled the ethers about te suit the urgency of tbe case. He was able te build n house and de everything about it from the rough stone foundation te tbe electricity and papering and fine cabinet making with the same twenty-five men em ployed continuously for six months. The wages were the highest along any of tbe lines involved city wages. The work was well and solidly done under that one builder, who was also his own foreman of each separate division. Twenty-five families had a geed support for u little ever half a year. with money saved against n slack time. Tbe owner came in direct contact with the work men in a human and entirely man-te-man way, and when tbe furniture was moved in and put In place, no one of the twenty-five men who had seen the thing through but was interested and in n curious sense critically responsible of the final leek of the rooms. THIS, I think, Is the natural and just way for capital and labor te combine. It helps human relationship and is a mutual benefit and a recognlznble partnership of achievement. It Is the way most of the original houses in this country were built in the days of our great-grandfathers nnd grandfnthers, and even of some of our fathers in the newer pnrts of the country. And theso houses were better built and had mere individuality, nnd in a wny mere character in their very marks of sameness. The stone mason was net just any stonemason ; he was the stonemnsen ! I met an old mnn nbeut this new house up in the country, for instance, who was laying the bricks of the terrace leutsldc the dining room for the new breakfast room. He was very old and quite opinionated, but exceed ingly intelligent nnd interested in doing his job, because he had been the man te build the original chimneys in the old part of the house nearly forty years nge. He was full of reasons nnd tales as te why these chimneys new needed pointing up nt the top and round the hearths, and he was very particular and exigent in doing that work himself. What miracle of coincidence could bring te one's beuse In Philadelphia the same stonemason that had slapped en every bit of mortar from cellar te reef thirty or forty jears before? THE losing the humnn centnets out of the work we de or have done for us has only ene ndvuntnge: we de net hear the alterca tions or have te listen te the temperamental complaints of the emplevcs who build and make for us homes; we leuve that te hired ge-betweens, who nic supposed net te bother us with particulars, I nlwnys thought the woman who could employ a steward or expert housekeeper te listen te the cook when she'had a grievance wns let out of much wear nnd tear; but I suppose some one has te listen te the stew ard and the housekeeper when they nre temperamental and have a grlevnnce that needs a seething enr or n dlsclplinnry touch, se thnt the employer gets it nny way either cumulatively, through n head domestic or first hnnd from the chap that docs the potato peeling. Just as the city mnn who is paying n builder and an architect te make him com fortable In u house has te hear of the dela.vs due te strikes and broken contracts and nil the things that make house building in town nnd near town se mysteriously discouraging an undertaking. If we cannot rub a ring like Aladdin nnd wish a wish and see the thing built and ready for us out en the lawn the very next Instant, blinds up, curtains hung nnd the kitchen fire boiling the kettle, why, then, I nrentlv nrefer the countrv-tevvn v. nr. mntter If Jenes' lumbago and Smith's having twliiH nt home de break into the smooth process of completion nnd enter into one's day's disappointments. I'd rather be halted by Jenes' lumbago nnd Smith's twins than bv Lewis' coal strike nnd Gompers' matchmakers' union. In short, I'd rather knew my neighbor and cm ploy him thnn be n stranger in mv new house until all the clever. Industrious or lazy makeshift chaps who made it have token up their tools and gene their wuys.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They Knew Best WILLIAM WOODBURN POTTER On Artistic Building In Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA is net only catching up in its building, but the structures being erected nre far superior te these whtch were built before the war years and theso im mediately following, nccerdlng te William Woodburn Petter, architect. "Philadelphia, with respect te its build ing," said Mr. Petter, "is coming along as well as any large city in the country. There wns mere building In the first three months of the present yenr than in the whole of 1020. Still there must be n let mere 'build ing done if we nre adequately te house tue crowds for the SesquI-CcntennlnL In spite of the fact thnt contracts for two large new hotels In the center of the city hnvc been let within the Inst few days nnd building is nctlve in both the city nnd in the suburbs. "The city should gain a substantial nnd permanent benefit from the Sesqui-Ccntcn-nlal; but as fnr ns the building for It is concerned, It will hnve te be begun before long If the structures nre te be a permanent asset te the city nftcr the close of the fair. "The housing buildings which lire erected te nccommednte the Scsqut-Centenninl crowds by nil menns should be permanent structures, because only In that way will they be an asset te the city nnd because they arc badly needed for the ever-growing population of Philadelphia, If they arc con structed with the idea of making them permanent, they will be n real investment for the city ; if temporary buildings nre put up, te be demolished nftcr the fair closes, they will de the city no lasting geed. "The Scsqul-Ccntcnnlal also will serve another geed purpose. There arc certain localities in the city which need n clearing out, nnd the necessities of the big fnlr will bring nbeut this result, and if the buildings put up en these localities arc of geed con struction nnd design, the results for Phila delphia will be grent. Parkway a Ills Facter "The new Parkway has done n tremen dous amount of geed for the city which I de net 'believe is fully appreciated. It was n long time In coming, but It Is unquestionably one of the grentest fncters In the improving and the benutif.vlug of the city thnt has ever been brought nbeut cither heie or In nny ether American city. By waiting we have secured a boulevard which Is incom parably finer thnn it could possibly have been hnd it been put through In n hurry. The original plans called for n beulevnrd enlv 100 feet in width, but by hard work and the planning of It by men of renl vision we have obtained the magnificent Pnrkway, which will one day be one of the great sights et the country. "League Island Park Is nnethcr place which hns been nn enormous improvement. Places Uke these exert glgnntlc Infiiii'iice for geed en the surrounding neighborhoods, in making the residents there build better homes, nnd they also exert a splendid in fluence en the whole city. "I wns n member of the Heusing Bureau during the wnr jears and we had charge of a certain Improvement In Seuth Philadel phia. The plnce wns little mero thnn n city dump, but it 'became a highly deslrnbln resi dence neighborhood, largely through the im provements which we were able te effect. One building operation of the better kind often changes the ntmesphcrc of nn entire section. "Roosevelt Boulevard has hnd the same effect upon Its Immediate locality as the Parkway nnd Le.'isue Island Park. It Is a singularly geed thing, but often the people as a whele de net sep what an influence for geed such things are, and ninii have net warm public support nt the time they are projected. It Is net tee much te sny that en the first presentation of such projects mere than ene-hnlf of the voters are net In favor of them. But ncverthehMs they have nil benefited theclty as n whole as well as their Immediate neighborhoods. "The new Art Gullery will be n treinen ilnus educational influence In Philadelphia The building Itself wll be beautiful mid Jin-' nosing, nnd just te have people walk nreuiul it nnd sen it will bu nn inspiration fee greeter things In city betterment.

The standard of living hns risen materially nnd this Is one of the ways In which this fact is manifesting itself. "I think that the architects have played a considerable part in the condition which new exists. Net se many years age it was difficult te make people see the necessity for nn nrchitect nnd ninny thought that tne money paid in his commission wns thrown away. New It is rare thnt n building op eration is carried through without an archi tect, ns both the purchasers and the con tractors have found that they can save money by employing one. "But, in the general ndvance In public knowledge of these' nnd ether things, the public hns become educated te wunt better things in their homes. This is especially true of the newest electrical devices. The grent lndustrlnl shows hnve done much In this respect, for they have shown people the new things In lnber-saving devices In the home nnd immediately theso who see them In operation wnnt them. There is new mnturlng in Philadelphia n plan for a permanent exhibit of the building trmjes, nt which people can see the latest things connected with their homes nnd judge how hew how geed they nre. Medium Houses Needed ,"The greatest need of Philadelphia at present is for mero of the medium-sized and medium-priced houses. In the city nnd in the suburbs there is practically none which mny be rented nnd this is n need which must be supplied. A few men with vision started building during the dull period when nl nl mest everything wnR shut down nnd semn nre iiuilding new and will reap the reward of their foresight. "The apartment buildings in Phllndelptila have made great strides within the last few jears. It has never been nn npnrtmcnt city, but the housing tendency of the age is net te maintain big city homes. We are new getting some fine npartment buildings nnd there is room for still mere. "I believe thnt the city offers n splendid opportunity for some ene te erect some low and medium priced npartments for fnmlllcs demanding that cless of homes. In her building program, Philadelphia is coming nleng as well ns nre nny of the larger cities of the country."
