CHESTNUT STREET CHANGES
r1 IS quite conceivable thnt old l'hlla
dclphla pictures will neon be quaint It they

tn the very recent past. Tlint thoroughfare,
after a considerable period of stagnation In
Building, is nbeut te undergo changes of
a monumental order.
After a long history, the Colonnade Hetel,
a landmark at Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets, closed Its doers yesterday prepar
atory te Its demolition. According te pres
ent plans the construction of n twenty-two-story
office building v ill be started en the
site next year.

Farther down the street, which it, rapidly
being metamorphosed into an urban canyon,
a great modern hotel will replace thp en
erablc Continental. It will net he long
before the old Chestnut street of three ami
four story dwellings remodeled into com
mercial p-epertics will be but a memory.
THE BUSY DELAWARE
THE pier construction work along the
harbor front Is net in the least an In
stance of ultra-res'- r.tpectatlens concerning
the possibilities of the pert of Philadelphia.
Indeed, the new decking facilities are in
the nature of n belated effort te keep step
with a maritime development which Las
already reached Impressive proportions.
Philadelphia Is new destined te become
lie of the foremost ports of this country.
That position Is new r-acheil with Increases
f trade fully verified in the records. Within
the last year alone vast gains have been
made in ocean commerce. During August,
1022, mere than a half million mere tens of
foreign shipping made use of this pert than
In the same period of last year. The num
ber of vessels engaged in overseas commerce
allows a large incrrase.
Kqually significant are the domestic trade
figures. Vessels in coastwise commerce
numbered 058, compared with 51U for
August of 1021. The tonnage Increase wus
nearly million.
Se far as visiting and home-pert bhlps
are concerned, the maritime eminence of
Philadelphia is assured. Wlint Is new most
needful Is the extension of accommodations
for receiving ,the great and fast growing
trade fleet.
MONEY FOR CHEMISTS
THE American who makes nlie most val
uable contribution te chemical science
this year will receive a prize of $25,000,
awarded by the Allied Chemical and D.c
Corporation through the American Chemical
Society. Dr. Edgar I-'. Smith, of this city,
president of the association, will be the
chairman of the committee (if award.
This prize, considerable as it Is, is net
needed te induce the chemists te pursue their
investigations. They are men whose deo dee deo
tlen te science is nt dependent en financial
rewards. They will work for jears te solve
a problem because of their Interest in the
Bubjcct. The discovery thnt they make Is or
dinarily sufficient reward. But an hono
rarium of $25,000 will be welcome te the
winner as evidence that the value of what
be has done is recognized by some one else.
The Nebel prize have been useful te the
investigating men of science because they
have enabled the Investigators te continue
and te enlarge their search into the secrets
of nature, n search which would have been
continued in any event. The new Chemical
Society prize will ecre in the same way te
finance n chemist who may have been han
dicapped in his investigations because of
lack of funds.
A" MASTER OF OLD MELODRAMA
GEORGE UOBERT SIMS, who has just
died in Londen, sustained, though
without the Irish accent, the once lusty
melodramatic traditions of Dien Ueuclcault.
There are persons of n newer generation
whp'fJssert that the highly comentleiuilizeil
trade which he practiced Is new outmoded
and archaic. The modern melodrama, en
the screen and beere the footlights, is less
, tearful than its ancestor and much mere
disingenuous. It Is also much less care
fully written and but lightly concerned with
the creation of character.
i But what the modern meTles and modern
atate would de without the Slms-Beucl-cault
itandards, patterned in turn upon the
formulas of D'Ennery and his school, it is
impossible te Imagine. "Lights e Londen,"
one of 81ms' most conspicuous successes,
oerepulouily observed every requirement In
the stock development of situation andeiery
pwecrlptlen for the regulation triumph of
virtue and the eventual overthrew of black.
hearted villainy.
The movies In particular cling loyally te
these, fundamentals of popular entertain

THE'GANG RELUCTANTLY
ASSESSES WOMEN VOTERS
l
Necessity Has Forced It te Risk Defeat
In the Mayoralty Election In Order
te Save the Council
WOMEN, according te Clifferd Pinchot
In nn article in the current Ladles'
Heme Journal, held the balnnce of power in
the primary election nnd wen the nomina
tion te the governorship for him.
The women who voted for his nomination
cannot vote for his election unless they are
registered,
Mr. Pinchot has Issued nn appeal te all
voters te go te the polling places today and
get their names en the voting lists. Every
woman who supported him in the spring Is
expected te heed the appeal, nnd thousands
who were net then qualified te vote are ex
pected te qualify this fall en one of the
three days of registration.
They cannot qualify, however, unless
their names nre first en the assessors' lists.
The machine organization has net made
any special effort te get the names of
women en the assessors' lists In the past.
It lias been In doubt about the way the
women would vote and it has hesitated te
add te the number of qualified electors a
large unknown quantit.
But a necessity confronts the local ma
chine this jenv which is forcing It te stir
the assessors te activity.
Representation in the City Council is ap
portioned among the senatorial districts in
proportion te the number of assessed voters.
The unit of representation, according te the
Charter, is 20,000 voters. But the Charter
expressly provides that if nt any time the
women of the Commonwealth shall receive
the right te vote this unit shall be increased
te 40,000 assessed voters,
The reapportionment Is te be made en
the basis of the number of assessed voters
en the lists en August 1. 102:5. The revi
sion of the lists must begin prier te the fall
registration this ear.
Therefore, if there is te be a Council of
twenty-one members hereafter, it is impera
tive that the number of assessed voters shall
be double that of 1010. when the present
apportionment was made. The machine
does net wish te lese an of its members in
the Council through a failure te get the
names of enough women en the lists. Its
agents are new at work canvassing the city.
Many women seem te have a mistaken
idea about their rights in the premises. If
they have been residents of the city and of
the voting division for the required lensth
of time It is the duty of the assessors te list
them whether they will or net. It doe net
make any difference whether they favor
women suffrage, or whether thev wish te
escape from the obligations of citizenship.
They have no discretion.. The mere fact
that the.v are at least twenty-one ears old
and have lived in the division long enough
te vote makes it obligatory upon the assess
ors te list them as voters, 'lliey are part
of the potential vetins citizens en which the
basis of representation in the City Council
is computed.
They may decide whether they will regis
ter and qualif themselves te vote. But
thnt is all.
The reluctance of women te vote is llkcl.v
te become gradually less as the eais go
by. Mere of them will go te the polls this
j ear than last and next year the number Is
likely te be still larger. The women leaders
are engaged in a campaign of education in
tended te incite the women te de their civic
duty.
The machine leaders, under all the cir
cumstances, have found themselves between
the devil and the deep sea. If they neglect
te get the names of the women en the as as
sessers' lists they are liable te lese some of
their Leuncllmen, ns the size of the Council
would be reduced and there would be the
devil te pay.
If they get the names of all the women en
the lists, they de net knew hew mauy of
them will register or hew they will vote
after they are registered, and they will be
en the deep and trackless sea of uncertainty
nbeut the outcome of the mayoralty election
next year.
They have chosen te sail en this un
charted sea and taki. their chances.
The situation is encouraging te these who
are hoping for the continuance in tbli city
of the clean-up which was begun In the
State bj the nomination of Pinchot for thu
governorship. The women favored Pinchot
because of the things te which he was
pledged. They are mere deeply interested
in city than in State affairs because the
City Government cerats mere closely home
te them. If what they call citj housekeep
ing is bad, they suffer every week.
They knew that clean streets and the
regular collection of ashes and garbage and
rubbish arc dependent en the presence In
the City Hall of officials who are devoted te
the publli service lather th.in te the serv
ice of a political machine. They knew that
the intrusting of these duties te peliticul
contractors, ns was the custom before the
election of Majer Moerr, results in filthy
streets and neglected gnrbnge palls en the
curb. They knew that the city Is saving
1,000,000 a car under the present plan,
and $1,000,000 seems te them te be a let of
money worth saving. They would rather
have It devoted te needed public works thas,
go into the pockets of political contractors
as profits en their contracts.
The women are likely te held the balance
of power next jear between the machine
and the independents, and te decide who
will be the next Mil or. If the independ
ents can rise te the occasion and unite en n
capable man the reforms which have been
begun under Mayer Moere will be con
tinued and enlarged under his successor, be
cause of the determination of the women
voters te have such a heuseclennlng here as
Mr. Pinchot is premising in Harrisburg.

Under the Piatt amendment, Joyously ac
cepted by the Cubans nt the time of their
deliverance from Spanish misrule, the Gov
ernment of the United States has power te
supervise the Cuban financial system nnd
thereby te keep n friendly restraining hand'
en the Cuban Government itself.
Politics In Cuba was lit with Idealism for
a short time nfter what Cubans call Thesl
Freedom. Then there was a swift and ter
rible dccllne te practices quite as bad us
these which may be found In some parts of
Philadelphia. But favoritism and graft
were charged net merely ngalnst miner offi
cials, but ngalnst Presidents and members
of the Cabinet. A radical party arese te

In the interests of a political clique, and en

revolution nnd elaberate preparations for

It has seemed that the Incxpcrtnesa et
the new Government rather than anything
else has led Culm into tr.vtng flnnnclnl nnd

deal of graft. The fiiiunclnl losses due te
deflated sugar prices complicated a delicate
situation. Crowder Ik speaking, therefore

WISCONSIN'S ILL WINDS
SENATOR LA FOLLETTE'S victory
ever his opponent In the Republican
primarv in Wisconsin by approximately
140.000 votes of n poll that didn't total
MO.000 illustrates one of the Important but
little considered facts of contemporary po
litical history. That l. the continuing
ability of scattered minorities te turn elec
tions for geed nnd evil, and In fanatical de
votion te smnll causes blind net only the
average voter but themselves te greater ones.
Thus neither Mr. La Felic tie nor his
opponent. W. A. Gnnficld, steed In the pri
mary campaign for any clearly recognizable
principle. La Fellctte is net even a con
sistent progressive, though pregrcsslvism Is
ii deep-rooted sentiment In his State. He
is net a radical In the true sense, though,
radicals are numerous in Milwaukee and
clamorous for leadership.
Ganllcld, en the ether hand, was net the
ideal conservative. He is the tjpc of man
who feels that he hns earned a monument
when he puts himself in stern opposition te
everything that doesn't happen te have the
sanction of the elders of the (!. O. P. He
labored under what, in some parts of Wis
consin nt least, might properly have been
cnllcd the handicap of the Anti-Saleen
League's indersement. He and all ether
"dry" candidates hut one were snowed
under.
There will be jubilation In the camps of
the light wine-and-heer folk, of course. But
the fact remains that La Follette was car
ried through en the crest of a wave of small
dissatisfactions unrelated te one another nnd
expicssed rather blindly by various groups
of voters without any definite progressive
purpose.
He was net se much n "wet" as an anti
dry. Se the thirsty aided him. He was
an' nntl-corperntion man, se tlte radicals
supported him, though they have no notion
of what La Follette or any one else ought
te de te corporations already hard up und
weakened by ever-regulation. He was nntl nntl
Administratien, se nil the p'eple who feel
thnt the country might be better managed
gave him their votes. The important thing
te observe is thnt La Folletle is another of
the men who win elections net because of
what they are for, but because of the thing-,
they are against.
Wc are tee ready in America te give aid
te the destructionists rather than te people
who want te construct. The reason scema
te lie in the psjcholesy of the highly
ergnnized minorities which take unto them
selves a cause or evolve one out of thin air
und promptly forget all else. We have labur
clnmeiing te rule and capital clamoring te
rule. The Anti-Saleen League believes that
it holds the secret of happiness nnd polit
ical wisdom and that every one should held
it in reverence.
Doubtless jeu could count a thousand
organizations, lunging from the Kit Klux
Klan te the societies formed te encourage
bee culture In our higher universities,
vhese leaders believe that they have better
formulas for government than that outlined
in the Constitution of the United States.
They nre nil energetically about the husi
i.ess of "putting themselves ever."
Th.y de net really put themselves ever,
however. They put men like La Toilette
ever en tin country. Fer it Is lurgely
because of the inability of active minorities
te forget their fads and their fanaticisms
and unite in suppeit of the simple and
great and neglected principles of govern
ment established in this part of the world
by the War of Independence thnt we are
coming te seem a rather erratic nation and
one baffled by the newer problems of public
administration.
It was because Wisconsin did net vote
as n State, but ns a collection of bad-tempered
minorities thnt it will continue te be
leprcbented in the Senate by what ou
might call n Big Neise.
A REALIST OF MEDICINE
Till! death in New Yerk of i)r. Edvvnid
Spltzka, formerly of the great Jcfforsen
Hospital group of anatomists, removes from
the medical circle properly Identified with
Philadelphia one of Its most picturesque
and distinguished figures.
Dr. Spitzku was a realist in the world of
anatomical research nnd theory. He sought
consistently te demonstrate that even the
subtlest of mental or spiritual impulses may
be traced te a practical and understandable
origin. He did much te advance the tech
nique and widen the siepe of brniu surgery
of the sort thnt new cuns ills and Injuries
formerly regarded as incurable. But he
did net succeed in getting n majority of
ether scientific men te agree with him that
the convolutions of the human brain sur
faces revealed something of the character
of a given mind.
It may be thnt before his death he was
willing te admit that there Is much remain
ing In the world that alwnys must be
beyond even scientific understanding.

TRUTH ABOUT' TINTAGEL
i .
Kine Arthur Waa Bern There
(Among Other Places) and Oc
cupied a Castle Built Many
Centuries After He Died
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Tintagcl, Cornwall, England.
MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY lest the
opportunity of his life by net being born
n century enrlier.
Alse by net being born here en the bleak
storm-beaten cliffs of-Cernvvall.
.Quay once said, petulantly, that he
wanted te own a Governer.
There nre these who say he did once-own
a Governer of Pennsylvania.
I doubt it exceedingly, '
However, If he had lived here in Tlntagel,
he might have owned outright two mem
bers of Parliament.
One man did own them. It Is, I think,
the only case In the history of the British
Empire.
TN THE olden dns before the great war,
nnd wemnn suffrage, nnd universal suf
frage, they had, here in England, what they
cnllcd "qualified electors."
In ether words, te be a voter you had
te possess certain qualifications.
Principally, you had te belong te the
better-off class or you couldn't vote at the
parliamentary elections.
A? voter must be "qualified" today; but
net as he was then.
It se happened that the district in which
Tintagcl vvns situated sent two members te
Parliament.
This, please remember, was hack about
1784.
The Vicar of Tintagcl was the only quali
fied voter in the district, se great were the
restrictions.
He selected the two men nnd cast the ene
vote that electedhem.
Quay never possessed such power.
If he selected u man for office, he had sub
sequently te elect him.
The vicar's ene vote wsb the solid vote
of the district.
KING ARTHUR OF THE ROUND
TABLE was born here at Tintegel.
Rather, I should say this is ene of the
places at which he was born.
King Arthur was like Hemer nnd Christo
pher Coltimbe nnd ether celebrities.
Various cities contended for the honor of
his birthplace.
If you doubt the story tbnt Arthur and
Lnuncolet nnd the ether Round Table
Knights once went clattering up and down
the single street of this town, Its people
indignantly -refute you by pointing te the
remnants of his castle.
That is the two castles ; part of the same
one.
A deep ravine separates these two rem
nants, and that is what makes the 6tery
smell fishy.
Once, ages age, a bridge is said te hnve
spanned the ravlue. It must have been a
wonder.
Said ravlne Is new nbeut 200 yards wide.
It opens directly en the sea.
At its upper end there nre about fifty
yards of shingle beach.
That is the Harber of Tlntngel!
S
TANDINO out in sharp black silhouette
ncalnst the evening sky are the ruins
of n considerable castle.
Arthur lived n dozen centuries or se age.
The castle, part of it, antiquarians say,
dates from the Nerinnn period.
Seems like the dates nre all mixed.
One part stands en the "Island," as It
is called.
The ether ruin stnnds en the mnlnland
peninsula known as Tlntngel Head.
.lust as these people show you King Ar
thur's castle, se down the country a little
distance they show ou a peel of water.
Inte this Arthur threw his great sword
"Excnllbur."
It Is this same little lake it s net large
or attractive across which the ningh; beat
cnrr.vlng the Three Queens all in white came
slowly.
They took up the dying here nnd then
sailed nway Inte eternity with him.
At least that's the story.
Teiinjsen and Malery have glorified the
theme.
I CAME up the Cornwall Coast for a spe
cial purpose.
I wanted te see Tlntngel again.
Alse I wanted te see the plnce where I
once came within nn nce of being locked
up all night with the spooks and ghosts nnd
specters of King Arthur's cestle.
It happened n dozen .vears age.
I was photographing along the wonder
fully beautiful Cornish Coast for my lec
tures. That portion of the castle en the
"Island." ns it. is called, Is environed by
inaccessible cliffs nnd n ruined wall tbnt is
practlcnlly unscalable. ......
A little deer in the wall at the top of
a rocky path admits te the grounds, high,
stenv and unkempt then.
At the bottom. In the ravine, in n cottage,
nn old woman in n net overly clean cap
sold bottled pep nnd candy, sweets.
Likewise she kept the key of the keep.
She was the chatelaine of the castle, as it
were, , , .. ..
As Baedeker would say: "Cottage;
rf 'rat's; small gratuity!"
ON THIS particular afternoon, a dozen
vears nge, I had dutifully "tipped" the
old indv, but had resolutely refused te buy
her postal cards or candy.
There were severnl small parties of
Amerirnn and British tourists reaming
around when I arrived.
As usual, there vvns the senseless chatter,
the nccempan.vlng Oh-ing and Ah-ing nnd
the picking up of rocks for relies.
I had barely entered nnd closed the deer
in the wnll when a brent bless Britisher
with wife and cousins und mints hailed me
from the outside. ,.,,,
"Would I open the deer? The 'old party
nt the bottom' had run out of kejs. I
had the last one." ....... , , J
I was obliging. I ndmltted him nnd nsked
him te lenve the key In the deer if he left
before I did. .,,.,,
He left, nil right; otherwise this would
have never been written.
npWIIaGHT vvns tailing wnen 1 descended
1 te the deer In the old wall
It
was
NThe' wretched hind had fastened me In.
I raced bnck up the hill, but net n soul
was In sight.
The prospect of stnving up there en n
shelterless cliff, with the Atlantic 150 feet
below en one side und the village half a
mile below en the ether, faced me.
I began shouting te attract attention.
I yelled till I thought I would tnke pneu.
menfa. , . ....
Net even nn echo came from "the placid
English landscape fnr below."
After about twenty minutes, and the
evening wns well advanced, my cries nnd
gesticulations attracted the attention of an
unhlii driving home seme rows.
Twe shillings did the trick nud get me the
key.
DOWN under the rustle Is n enve.
It runs clear under the hill. In fact,
there nre several oeeen-mude cavc en each
side of the ravine.
They call it Merlin's Cave.
Merlin, you recall, was the wicked old
magician who wns always getting King Ar
thur in trouble or out of It.
He vvns nn iiriKiinu m"""" meu,
.v te make a photograph.
I get It and it was a geed one, tee
und llkevvise I get n pair of wet feet.
Even at this distance I rccnll that I cursed
Merlin roundly for net building his old cave
higher in the cliff.
I had no dry clothes nearer than the New
Inn at Olevelly, tblrty-llve or mere miles
awny. .
Twas no wonder I swore.

than at the present time, says Milten I.
Stauffcr, denn of the Scheel of Commerce
nt Temple University, nor has the demand
for such trnincd weikers ever been se great.
"The day has passed," said Dean Staufler.
"when the young man can learn the routine
of business by beginning nt the bottom nnd
working up. He must net only knew the
commercial methods of one particular busi
ness, but he should also have an understand
ing of accounting, civics, commercial law,
eonemics, commerce and transportation,
finnnce. insurance, merchandising, sociology
and political science. When a .voting man
knows nt least something of these tilings, as
well ns the detnils of the particular business
In which he expects te engage, he is well
fitted te meet the intense competition which
he will find tn every line of endeavor today.
Practical Iluslness Helps Alse
"But we hove found in our own experi
ence that n young mnn is better off nt the
close of a four years' course for having had
some practlcnl work in business. Four years
nge, In our own school, we organized n sys
tem of the higher courses, giving the liish
school graduate the means nnd opportunity
of ebtnlnlng the degree of bachelor of science
in commerce. (B. S. C.) by having morning
sessions. We gave the full-time curriculum,
beginning. at 8 A. M. nnd closing at neon.
"This meant the doubling of our faculty,
ns we could net repeat the course in the
afternoon, nor could we'nsk these students
who preferred the morning te wait until the
afternoon for a certain lecture te be given.
The object of this move was te help the
eung mnn of limited means.
"Te further this, we organized an inde
pendent service bureau und made a canvass
of the. firms of the city, nnd, se fnr as we
were able, placed n.11 the eung men in posi
tions where they would have te work only
In the afternoons or the evenings. Wc had
already found that the trouble vvns that
where n man had te work all day nnd go te
school In the evenings he never hnd the time
te prepare his work for the next day.
Value of Practical Training
"But, ns I snid, the vnlue of practical
training must net be underestimated. v,W
get this Iden of combining theoretical nnd
practical training fiem the evening law.
classes, In which we have never had a single
failure te pass the examination before the
State Beard of Examiners, because all the
men get practical training while they ure
pursuing their studies.
"Fer seme reason there is n widespread
sentiment among business men and many of
the leaders of large business nffnlrs that
the university trained man Is net much geed
In business. Tills may te a certain extent
be true of the young man who gets nothing
but a theoretical knowledge from his uni
versity training, nnd it is probably true that
a large number of the most successful busi
ness men of the country have net had a
university course.
"But it is emphntlcnlly net true of the
veiing man who combines his theoretical
knew ledge with seme practical experience
in business no matter whether the business
in which he gets this practical training is
the same as that which he intends te enter
or net This young man is thoroughly pre
pared for the work which lies ahead of him.
Net Enough Student Workers
"Our plan of combining the two elements
of n successful business man, theoretical
training nnd practical experience, proved
meie successful than we had thought possi
ble. We have net hud nearly u sufficient
number of students whom we considered
fitted for practical work te fill the demands
which have been made upon the supply by
the firms of the city.
"There have been n number of changes in
positions caused by the demands of modern
business development. One of the most
striking of these Is secretarial work. In our
school this Is n four- car course, and we
cannot begin te fill the demand for them.
The pest of secretary Is a development of
the old stenographic position, and places the
stenographer teduy en an equality with the
accountant.
"The old bookkeeper's position has been
nlse lest In the development of modern busi
ness conditions, and te heVl what was for
merly such a position new a man must be
net a bookkeeper but an accountant. The
routine stenographer position shows very
strong signs of being leBt in the snme man
ner, and she must stand in the same relation
ns the accountant by doing less routine work
and be nb' t a8ume a greater meaaure of
responsibility for her employer.
"The modern schools of business are also

pertant changes In the methods of tcnchlng.
We new give nil the business branches in
the first two years of a four-year course in
stead of giving the academic part first, as
was the former method. Thin is n decided
advantage for the eung man who has but
two .vears te give te his business education,
for it allows him te get all the business
training of the ceurse and thus materially
te Improve his earning capacity.
"What we knew as 'laboratory' work Is
also of great practical vnlue. By this is
meant that after n lecture of one hour cither
the Instructor or his assistants will pro
pound n let of practlcnl everyday business
problems te the students for the purpose of
bringing out the business principles which
were enunciated during the lecture. In this
maimer the practical application of the prin
ciples Is driven home and they remain as
fads nild net as mere theories.

"What killed this rule wus the part-time
courses offered In the universities. The ntn ntn
bltieus young man took n part-time course
in the subject In which he desired te spe
cialize, nnd then when the opportunity came
the firm found thnt he wns far better quali
fied for the place than the mail who had
simply length of service behind him. The
man who had steed still slmplv waited, nnd
the man who had qualified himself for the
place get the job. u
Had Geed ICducatlenal Effect
"In the end this had n geed effect, be
cause It stimulated education along all Hues
nnd showed clearly the necessity for train
ing In business. Today business is highly
specialized In all its detnils. but much of
what is essential may be learned In the
business schools.
"I think it wise for the schools te con
tinue giving .he shorter courses, even If they
de net carry a degree with them, for they
permit the acquitment of n geed deal of
very useful business knowledge andnre of
great value for these eung persons 5vhe,

"Ninety per cent of these who attend our
