RECORD HOLIDAY RUSH
TORESORTS FOR FOURTH
Transportation Facilities of All
Lines Out of City Taxed
to Limit

new record is being set today In the
Fi3sh OF Philadelphians TO the seashore and
other resorts for the holiday. Starting SAT-
trday noon and continuing today, thous-
ends OF Phlladelphians left this city to
spend Independence Day elsewhere.
transportation officials said II was the
greatest holiday exodus In the history Of
the city. All of the transportation facil-
tiles leading from the city were taxed TO
their capacity and even the trolley lines are
crowded with the holiday throngs.
Traffic at Broad street station during the
~ hours starting Saturday evening was
greater than in any similar period since
the structure was erected according to
Assistant Station Master Morgan. Condi-
tions were similar at the Reading Terminal
minal.
Both the Reading and the Pennsylvania
lines were taxed TO their fullest capacity
20 handle the crowds that flocked to the
seashore to spend the holidays.
The record breaking exodus this year Is
due partly to the good weather and also
TO the fact that many Philadelphia business
houses closed on Saturday until wednes-
day and gave their employees an oppor-
tunity to enjoy vacation Of four days.
The banks will be open for business to-
day and so will the Stock Exchange and
department stores. Among those who have
closed their shops until after Independence
Day are the Walnut Street Business Asso-
eiation. the Commercial Exchange, Chamber
Of Commerce, Grocers' and Importers Ex-
ehange and the Board of Trade

High Cost of Living.

Signs are not lacking that a good
many Americans are testing the pres
ent day prosperity and are coming
to the conclusion that there is some
thing of dream-like nature to il.
They are recalling that the Demo
Gratis blamed the Republicans for the
high cost of living and that the Dem
ocrats followed this censure by prom
ising decrease in the living cost.
or course that was promise loose
ly made and made because it looked
like good vote catching device. They
have failed to make good, and if they
are not to be blamed for the present
high prices, they cannot escape cen
sure fer having promised something
which they could not and did not do
The high cost of living in this
country is becoming a very serious
thing, as great many of the plain
everyday citizens realize. Flour can
not be at SO or $l2 barrel without
this necessarily being true. And
while wages are higher in not a few
lines they have not increased in 9th
ers, and where they have not increas-
cd the pinch is felt.
The dollar has been debascl; its
purchasing power has been diminish
ed. and families that could make both
ends meet two or three years ago. find
it is almost impossible to do this to
day, even though they practice new
economies and eliminate previous
minor extrayagances.
To the families OF fixed income,
and there are hundreds CT thousands
OF them in America. there is no little
concern over our prosperity They
admit that business is booming. that
labor is we'll employed. but to them
it is prosperity that seems to begin
and end with someone else; and the
only way they come into contact with
it is in the reflex CT increased prices.

A True story Of a Lady.

4
A FTenchwoman, engaged as q
! teacher in an important school of the
city, was so ardent an advocate OF the
cause OF her country. that when she
heard a casual acquaintance make a
sighting remark about France, she
up and boxed his ears This, you
may say, was ali the evidence needed
to prove that she was not a lady, in
any exact use OF the word.
Riding in a subway car in the UNI
crowded noon hours, this French
woman could not help, seeing that a
woman seated opposite to her was in
distress. Finally, when this woman
began to cob. the French lady crossed
over and sat down beside her, and
said, Yea seem to be in trouble.
Can ! do anything Tor you?'
With a strong German accent. the
weeping woman replied Nobody
can DO anything for me. This letter
has como today; and my eldest son
has been killed in the trenches
That makes three in the past month
and ] have no more"
The Frenchwoman put ont her
hand. Nobody can help you" she
answered except by symDathizing
with You. and perhaps you will be
willing 10 accept my sympathy when
tell You that my only son is now in
the trenches l have not heard from
him in six weeks. and at any moment
letter may come TO me, as II has just
come 10 you. telling me that | have
no longer son"
The German woman dried her eyes
and took The hand held out to her
She looked into the face OF the UNI
known comforter md said so you
are German. too?"
And the Frenchwoman unhe sitating-
ly replied Yes
1t took a woman TO make that noble
and perhaps it could have
been made only by a woman OF
France. a country where the social
instinct is cultivated from the cradle |
