Wounded Heroes Wronped

TO the Editor OF the Erenin0 Public Ledoer.
Sir-ln today's EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
read from your correspondent at Camp
Meade that those boys who have been gasscd
and wounded land | speak for the boys OF
the Iron Division of Pennsylvania and
We're sent to the base hospitals of France,
VIII. as is natural, be sent home as casuals
ana when mustered out will not be identified
with any particular unit that they will be
deprived of taking part in the triumphant
homecoming parades in which their regi-
ments take part and not acclaimed with
their fellow. heroes.
Less than an hour ago the writer received
n telegram from one OF his sons. who had
arrived at Newport News. After spending
two months in Base Hospital No. III through
sassing and sheii-shock received while in
battle. he left behind him in France two
other brothers who have been through the
strife and battle If the war from Chateau
Thierry to the walls of Metz. all being menu
beers of the famous 109th Regiment, and
who will soon return to be acclaimed with
the rest of the doughboys by their fellow
townsmen as worthy Of recognition as
heroes.
Shall 1t be said. then. that our Government
is going to discriminate between the boys
who come home whole and those who have
been injured, but are in a good stage of re-
covery? | cannot conceive that our War
department will allow such unfair and un-
American treatment to the boys who went
to the front gayly and cheerfully, and if YOUR
correspondent is right. then there are many
who will, when the time comes. cast off their
American soldiers uniform downhearted and
dispirited. A READER.

The Delaware Bridge

To the Editor OF HE EreRiuJ Public Lcdoer:
" | am not a resident of Phila-
delphia. | am n very frequent visitor TO the
town. and ] cannot but observe with what
characteristic slowness the old town awakens
TO vital improvements, those which would
do more to keep the city on the world map,
make IL convenient. noticeable and up-to-
date, thereby facilitating transportation
advantages and living conditions. making it
more agreeable and accessible to manufac-
turing interests, which In turn encourages
and invites labor and capital. and with 1t
income from taxes and production. ! am
also a frequent visitor 10 Camden and Jer-
sey, and the trip as il is today Is a bore
instead OF an incident. Thank goodness, YOU
people who live in West Philadelphia, as
well as many thousand more of us who find
II necessary to have to cross the Schuylkill.
don't have to climb the elevated stairway
and take a ferryboat to the other side, as
we do at the foot of Market street. Auto
mobilists especially should be qnick to see
the convenience of a commodious bridge, and
as the State il TO be largely Interested
financially, II would seem that It should have
the united support of automobilists and such
persons should take up the matter with their
State legislators and make their efforts felt.
We know that in railroad and port facil-
tiles. local capital is subservient to the die
tates of New York, but there should be suf-
hcient local pride and patriotism to secure
such valuable conveniences as this bridge
would be. and ! would further add the quick
resumption Of completion of the subway.
In referring to the subway: Why not
extend it a block further on Locust street
and bring it through Washington Square and
up Seventh street with a station in the
square, where traffic might exchange for
surface cars over the bridge?
A s.. 900. 900 arch at the entrance TO Fair
mount Park would probably be a very beau
tiful work. but what comparison is there
when 1t comes to the needs and usefulness TO
the people. whose money the State and city
are spending? A bridge could also be made
a very artistic piece of useful and needed
work and would be a greater and NOR.
appreciated memorial than an expensive
archway, which will be, no doubt. appreciated
by some and forever artistically criticized
by others.
The Brooklyn bridge is one of the won.
ders of the world. Does any one believe il
a waste of money. or would the residents
of the two cities which it connects regret its
erection? ! think not.
Boston and other cities are about TO make
such improvements and | wonder il Phil
adelphia and Pennsylvania are TO doze on.
only to wake up some day to fndNout how
long they have dozed and how far behind
they have permitted themselves to be left.
Why not spend the peoples money where
it will be seen and appreciated and get the
project started before other dreams Of yarl-
Gus degrees emanate and result In noughr

How Do You Meet Emeraency7

Your treatment Of life's accidents IS
a test Of your Ingenuity. Things that
can be done by rule can be relegated
to the clerk. Things that demand the
exceptional must be handled By the
man who is master of affairs, When
the accidental comes there IA no
time for preparing to meet it. It's AZ
emergency that demands Immediate
action. If the note IS not taken truly
It brings di~cord. When lifc's notes
out Of the usual scale are not prompt

iSfaction and calamity. It's the mark
Of the master to be able to make the
usual contribution 10 the whole OF

the right spirit enjoys the challenge
the accidental gives in life. 1t not
only affords change but It suggests
stages of development by which he
can estimate growth.

The hours. to see the factory :

WHILE the factory was ON
w war work, no visitors were
shown through the plant. Now
it is possible to welcome visitors
once more.
So many more people want to
buy Wcstclox than can be sup
piled that it is necessary to take
care of visitors in a way that
will not hinder the production
of clocks.
\ If the need for clocks were
not SO great, a number of people
, could be spared as factory guides.
: As the number Of visitors to
the factory has been increasing,
it seems advisable to establish
regular visiting hours, in order
that visitors may be accommo-
dated promptly, and that they
may get better service from the
guides.
To see every machine and
operation would take hours and
exhaust the visitor. A trip has
been arranged that gives a very
good idea Of the size Of the
plant, the various departments,
and the work rcquircdin making
clocks. This trip requires about
one hour.

REPUBLICANS ARE
AFTER AN ISSUE

Senator Hitchcock got off a
pretty good one in the senate last
week while taking the Republi-
can members to task for their ev-
erlasting disposition to prod and
annoy the administration, which
is doing it's best to conclude the
war and reach settlement of
peace. Trying to make a little
political capital and get politi-
cal issue, the Republicans are
constantly introducing some res
olution for an explanation of this
and that and Senator Hitchcock,
tiring of the heckling, gave vent
to the following:
II warn senators who are look
ing for a political issue of that
sort that they may find it, but they
may afterwards regret doing so.
l remember story of man who
went forth to buy horse, and he
was so anxious to get the horse
that he was little careless in the
precautions which he took. He
was just as anxious for the horse
as these senators are for a politi-
cal issue. When he finally found
an animal that he thought would
suit, he bargained with the man
as to the price of the horse, and
they agreed upon the price. He
took out his money and was about
to pay it, but then he said to the
man, oh, see here; has this horse
any faults?' WE'LL the man said,
yes; he has two faults Well
the purchaser said, what are
they?'
"The owner said, We'll now, l
will be fair. l will tell you one
fault before you pay me the
money, and l will tell you the
other fault after you pay me the
money The purchaser asked,
What is his first fault?' Well, the
first fault is that l have a good
deal of trouble catching this
horse when l go out in the morn
ing in the pasture. Sometimes it
takes me Is or 20 minutes to
catch the horse oh, well,' the
purchaser said, that is all right.
Here is your money. Now, what
is his second fault?' The seller,
as he stuck the money in his pock-
ct, said, Well, his second fault is
that after you catch him he isn't
worth damn Senators can
draw their own conclusion. After
they get the political issue it may
then be of not much more value
than that horse"

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A man is hard up for a way to
attract attention when he insists
on wearing a silk hat on street
car.
Prohibition is going to make it
hard for genius to prove it by
staying drunk all the time.
AS cheap as sympathy is, no.
body wants to waste any of it on
the party who married for money
and didn't get it.
Why do preachers insist on
making liars out of women by re-
tanning that "obey" clause in the
marriage contract?
Why is a woman with four feet
of hair on her head expected to
keep her hat on at an indoor gath
ering when bald-headed man is
expected to take off his hat?
A woman can get almost as
much pleasure out of crying that
a man can out of laughing.
AHoCiiCI ICdoOu WHY d HOISc Is
credited with having horse sense
is because it can't talk and make
an ass of itself.
Most men fall down on the job
not because they can't do a thing
but because they don't do it.
The loafer with the greasy
derby and the mirror on the seat
of his pants likes to pan the thrift
ty hustler for being a tightwad
and crouch.
The reason a woman knows that
her son is going to be such great
man is because she was so disap-
pointed in her sons father.
And you can't make a wife be-
lieve that any man can be so busy
that he needs girl secretary.
A sure way for girl to discov-
er that she can live without GER
tain man is to marry him.
In a modern marriage the "un-
til death do us part" portion of
the service means until the hon.
eymoon croaks.
Gilpin observer., 1919-10-09

There was time when a news
paper man was proud to be re-
ferred to as an editor, and didn't
like to be spoken of as a printer.
Now this has all changed since a
printer receives from $40 to $50 a
week and an editor is lucky if he
gets $50 or $25. Who was it said
there always was and there al
ways would be premium on
brains?
Gilpin observer., 1919-10-09

The Denver Democrat was nev-
er farther from the truth than
when it gives as a reason for SEN
ator Shafroth's defeat that he had
not acted in harmony with the
thought of the state on war mat
ters. Shafroth was a consistent
supporter of the administration S
war policy and everyone knows it..
What defeated him was the split
in his party's ranks, coupled with
unlimited money his opponent
spent. That combination would
defeat anyone. ..~.
