A HUMILIATING EXHIBIT

DHILADELPHIA is a part of Penn

shares in the prosperity OF this city It's
interest in the development OF the water
trade of this port is vital. But the State
does not yet realize il. But it must
come to the relief OF the port as Massa-
chusetts has gone to the relief of Boston.
Director Webster. OF the Department
OF Wharves, Docks and Ferries, cannot
serve the city better than by circulating
as widely as possible his statement, pre-
pared for the army engineers. showing
the amount OF money that has been ex-
pended on the port by the city and the
State. According to that document a
paltry s1,77500O has been appropriated
from the State Treasury in the last nifty
years for harbor and channel improve
ments. In the same time the city has
appropriated S2s.770O 900 and the Girard
Estate has spent S2,447, 900. making a
grand total OF $4,000 900 to equip one of
the greatest fresh-water harbors in the
world for accommodating the shipping
trade.
When We remember that Hamburg.
which Is only a little further from the
sea than philadelphia, has spent s115,-
600 900, and thereby raised itself into the
command OF more ocean-borne trade
than any other port In Continental Eu-

America has apparently emerged

America has apparently emerged
from the MISUNDERSTANDING horrors of
the 7Os of the last century. The pictures
OF chairs, tables beds, sideboards, bu-
reaus and the like which appear in the
advertisements Of the great stores having
their annual furniture sales show that
the designers have begun to study the
work OF the great cabinetmakers of the
past centuries and to profit by what they
learn. Where they cannot invent they
reproduce, and they are working to such
good effect that the descendants of the
families who buy the wellmade furniture
OF today will be as proud of it as are the
few families who have inherited from the
Colonial period the mahogany which met
the approval OF their ancestors.

Our Serial Poem

CONTINUED FROM SATURDAY.
Fast rushed the train, with all their souls
on board,
Swift and headlong into the burning
bridge
Which crossed the dangerous gully beyond,
Just hidden from sight by the wooded
ridge,
had seen the statlonmaster stop trains
BY waving as a signal a red fiagi
But there was no one here to stop this train
BY even waving single red rag,
Yet the train must be stopped from such a
And / thought how such thing could
be done,
While in my tears I frantically rushed
TO save them from danger, on a dead run.
Then 1 thought of my bright red petticoat
Which was hidden from sight beneath
my dress,
And l knew II could but wave it high,
The train fun OF people my act would
bless.
l tore Il off Of my hips in great haste.
AS the Haunting Of colors swung into
sight,
And wildly waved it to the engineer,
Whose swiftly rushing train filled nae
with fright.
l ran over the sand and the sleepers,
Halt stupehed In my horror and fear,
Waving and praying for the train to stop
AS the heavily loaded cars drew near.
Soon they saw my danger signal fying;
The engineer madly shut Off his steam
The air-brakes halted the cars at my feet
And l was SO glad that l had to scream
The passengers stared out OF the windows
To see their bridge burning with lurid
flame;
They saw me laughing with my petticoat,
While the tears OF JOY down my red
cheeks came.
Out OF the cars the passengers scrambled
And came front 70 see what was tbs
matter
They were happy to avoid such . wreck
while the narrow escape made then
chatter.

the worst records in the country In the
matter of automobile accidents. Ten or
twelve people a month are regularly
killed in the downtown district. 1t is also
true that as part of the amazing mix x-up
of State and city authority in Philadel-
phia the city is not permitted to arrest
automobilists on sight for violating the
laws. No matter how plain is the viola
tion, it is first necessary to swear out a
warrant and serve it on the offender. who
may be. by the time the warrant is pro-
cured, many miles away.
No Transfers at All
Speaking of street cars, Chicago people
would be astOnished If they got on one
of the Philadelphia vehicles and asked
for transfer. No such thing is known
in the City of Brotherly Love, though
the present head of the system is Thomas
T.. Mitten, who once presided over the
City Railway Company in Chicago.
Failing a transfer, the Philadelphia
street-Car passenger may negotiate with
the conductor for the purchase of what
is locally known as an exchange. Such
bit of paper costs three cents-in addi-
tiOn to the regular fare of a nickel-and
once in possession Of it the passenger
may transfer to certain other lines. Nor
do the Philadelphia street car companies
pay any percentage of their profits into
the city treasury. Where Chicago gets
55 per cent of the net profits OF all the
surface lines, Philadelphia is lucky to be
allowed to ride for eight cents a head.
The great charm OF Philadelphia is, of
course, it's multitude of historic buildings
and other relics. An American can
hardly visit independence Hail. where the
Fourth OF July was made famous and the
Liberty Bell is enshrined, without a thrill
But he gets a thrill OF another kind when
driving through some of the narrow
streets near the Delaware River, he sees
banked in the cutters on either side vast
mounds Of relics, which-as the nose tes-
tifes-in age, at least, may we'll be con.
sidered historic. If there are anywhere
in the country streets so filthy and odor-
ferrous as some of those in Philadelphia
and that close to the business center-one
set of fairly Observant senses has failed
to find them.
