TRAVELS IN PHILADELPHIA
BY Christopher Morley

Horses or Jolly Bl0ughDOy where one may
sit on a bench well polished by generations
of corduroycd hindquartcrs and shut out the
smiling horizon with n tankard's rim. "Oh
land of freedom. :" cried Madrigal, cucking
his tongue upon drouthy palate.
LNROM Foxcroft there is a tempting blue
vista up Il tributary valley toward New
town Square, which would be well worth
exploring but Madrgal and Doggerel turned
away through another covered bridge in order
to keep along the trend of Darby. 4 detOur
along the road brought them back to the
creek at magnificent stone bridge of three
arches. The man who designed that bridge
was Il true artist and had studied the old
English bridges. And at this corner stands
curious old house bearing the inscription,
Ludwig's Lust Ludwig's Pleasure) Built
1874, RenoGelled 1910. As the pedes-
trians stood admiring, II car drove up to the
door, and the hapIcss Doggcrel created some
irritation by hopefully asking one of the mo-
torists if the place were an inn.
After Ludwig's Lust came the most en-
chanting stretch of the journey. The road
runs close by the creek, which foams along
a stony course under an aisle of trees. Where
Wigwam Run joins the creek is a group of
farm buildings, and wayside spring of per-
feet water. 1t was sorry to see a beautiful
old clubhouse of dapplcd stonework being
pickaxed into rubble. At this point is the
fork of Darby and Little Darby. An old
deserted mill is buried in grcenery, the stones
furred with moss. Just beyond, q little
road dips off to the left, crossing both
branches of the stream. Here, where Little
Darby churns cascading among great bould-
ers and tiny shelves of sand, one might well
be in some mountain elbow of the Poconos.
Madrigal and Doggcrcl gazcd tenderly ON
this shady cavern of wood and water. If it
had been an hour earlier, with the sunlight
strong upon these private grottoes, IA bathe
would have been in order. But it was al
ready drawing late.

GuenthCr, at the wheel. Mr.. Guenther was
doubtless amazed to see Doggerel in this re-
mote spot, but he was going the other way,
and passed with cheerful halloo. Then, by
the old Defense Signal tree on the Paoli
road came a fivver, which rescued the two
plodders and took them two miles or so on
their way. BY the Tredyffrin golf course
they were set down before winding byway,
which they followed with tingling shanks and
hearts full of achievement.
A SHADY lane by the now STRIPPING Darby
IA brought them to a quiet pool under lean
ing willows, and silver gush Of water over
a small dam beneath which a bronze Venus
bathes herself thoughtfuly. Madrigal wore
the face of one entering into joy rarely
v0uchsafed to battered poets. Doggerel, in
his paltry way, was likewise of blithe cheer.
Through gap in the hedge they scaled a
knoll and reached their haven. And here
they found what virtuous walkers have ever
found at the end of an innocent journey
bath, beer, and a blessing.

That is one of the reasons why we are
accustomed to mistake pleasure ior hap
piness.
Well, sooner or later we will settle
down, after we have tried all the me-
chanical and material devices, after we
have fallen from airplanes and after
money has lost the charm Of its novelty.
We shall learn unquestiOnably, by eX-
pericncc, what many older civilizations
kncw-that happiness and peace are not
matters of speed or material possess
sions. AS a nation we shall learn that
when we stepped on the accclcrator and
stffCncd for a speed record We left
good many of our treasures at the start
ing point. We shall go back for them
with a fiat tire, perhaps, or with dead
cylinder or two But we shall 60 back.

wisdom, he will have to be protected dur

men will have to be sternCr on some OF
the highways to lessen the number Of
motor smashcs.
In Jersey particularly the matter of
vehicle traffic is serious. No state that
claims to be a haven for tourists can
afford to kill a number Of them every
week at railroad crossings that might be
made safe by the presence of watch
man. Trains in New Jersey and else
whore should be made to slow down at
every crossing. The passengers would
lose only a few minutes And since they
arc on a relatively futile adventure, any
way, this would not greatly matter.

The roads in New Jersey are BUILDING
up the worst record for accidents and
killings. The superficial thing would be
to recommend the abolition of all grade
crossings on motor highways. Certainly
this is a necessary precaution under mod
crn conditions of tourist traffic. But you
cannot police the human ego. There is
no motor accident that ordinary discre-
ton could not prevent. If people tried
to go up and down their own stairs as
swiftly as they try to get to the seashore
and back all the undertakers would be
fabulously rich within a few years.
1t would be far better, therefore, to in
ouire why all sorts of people are in such
a desperate hurry when they are away
from home on holiday. The men who
build automobiles would give millions to
anv one who can answer that riddle. Their
machines are reduced to junk and achieve
bad regulations in the general scramble.
No automobile that does siXty-five an
hour in a pinch was ever intended to be
run at that rate of speed. If it were
driven at maximum of thirty-fve or
forty it would last indefinitely instead of
going to the scrap pile after few years
of service.

1t may be the democratic instinct ram
pant on Sunday that tends to make motor
traffic perilous on many roads. 1t is
common to see a Ford geared up to do
sixty-fve miles an hOur-as they are
sometimes geared by the unregenerate-
fighting for the road with brute of
car SO powerful that its owner lives IN
awe and fear Of it.
While that sort of thing goes on there
will be accidents and frictions and dis
asters-not only on open roads but in the
economic and social order. To abolish
the grade crossings in Jersey or in the
general scheme of civilization will not
bring complete safety anywhere. There
will always be speed maniacs and mildly
insane adventurers to hit abutments or
roll over embankments or collide with
others no less reasonable than them
selves.

Older civilizations, more thoughtful

broadly interpreted, means the peace Of
God. The speeders aren't finding it in
finance, industry, labor or in the coun-
try on Sunday And they will not find
it.
We have a great many devices which
we have not yet been able to apply to
fundamental human needs. We shall
have to slow down and cool off a bit
and do little thinking. Our inventions
have run away with us-pell mell-like
wild horses.
Discomfort is a dominant malady in
America among all sorts of people. 1t is
the thing that everybody tries to flee
from. Gasoline is the new hope of mil
lions. So was golf. Neither is any more
useful, in the general human quest, than
money.
II is some such conviction as this that
IS responsible for the extraordinary zeal
of the small and tireless and misunder-
stood groups of people who are intent
upon establishing something like ar
old-fashioned standard of Sunday observ,
ances. They begin at the wrong end OF
the problem. They approach it from the
TOP when it can only be dealt with at the
bottom.
