large dining room, where breakfast can be

FIGHT FOR PROHIBITION
HERE STARTED in 1889
DIR. Harry M. Chalfant Tells of
Medical Professions Early Bat
tie Against Drink Habit

An insight into the early days Of the
prohibition fight in Philadelphia and par
ticularly regarding the work of Dr. Benjamin
Rush in the period just following the Rero-
luton, is given by DIR. Harry NJ. Chalfant
in an article in the Medical Woyld for Feb
ruary.
Doctor Chalfant points out that as long
ago 1889 the medical profession of Phila-
delphia was looking about for some method
of restraining and dscouraging the drink
habit He says, in part:
Ninety years ago the Philadelphia Medl-
cal Society became interested in sys-
tematic investigation of the effects of ardent
spirits when used as beverage. In. 1929
special committee was appointed TO make
survey of the question and report TO the
society. This report was read and adopted
at a meeting after the committee had been
at work for six months.
'rhe physicians of the city and adjacent
towns entered most enthusiastically into this
investigation: Every physician was asked
to study his personal record OF cases which
he had attended and make note Of the num-
ber of patients he had lost whose death he
believed to have been hastened by the use
of strong drink This included cases where
death resulted from accidents due to drink.
1T found that as the result of this
movement less than 429e deaths had been
studied. and the reports show that. IN the
opinion of the attending physicians, more
than 700 of these. or more than one-sixth
of the whole number. were FASTENED by the
use of liduor.
THE estimated population OF the city at
that time was 159,480 and there were 1888
saloons, or one 20 every 129 persons. In
some sections there was one tavern 10 every
twenty men. The committee accused John
Barleycorn of responsibility, not only for
much of the sickness of the community, but
also for q large percentage of the accidents
that were occurring, and laid at his door the
responsibility for much of the poverty which
prevailed at that time in the city

To the Editor Of The EUening Public Ledger:
Sir-I read with much interest the article
signed by Nancy Wynne, in the society
column about week ago, about boys
dancing, and | should like to put IN word
for the boys OF course, there were many
points that were very true, but there are
two sides TO every question.
have been 20 many dinners before dances
, and dancing classes for the school set" to
whom this article seems to refer, which were
so large that it was impossible to dance with
all the girls, and. indeed, some l was not
even introduced to. Also, when boys and
girls separate at the dressing rooms the
party virtually never meets again a whole.
nor do the girls ever wait for the boys of
that party TO come before they dance.
The girls who are wall flowers are
never the attraction. and to ask them to
dance means q half-hour gone for each one.
as they have not sense enough to excuse
themselves after one or two dances, and
make it very hard for the boy to excuse HIM
self, often taking 1t as an insult If he does
| have never known a boy TO deliberately
step on a small girls toes because she is
small or unattractive. and | think that you
would find that the girl a poor dancer
| admit there are boys as unattractive as
some girls, but just because girl may be
sweet" and IA lady" does not necessarily
make her attractive, although these are a
great help. | know the difficulty of getting
some boys to dance and their unreasonable
ness, for till after New Years ! was one Of
the committee at one of the best known
dancing classes in this city, and we had to
use physical force to get them from the
dressing rooms to take partners. Girls would
find that they would not be wall-fowcrs so
much If they would excuse themselves after
one or two dances, not make it so hard
for the boys to excuse themselves, for there
are many girls with whom the boys would
be glad to dance II they not afraid
of getting hopelessly stuck.

Redeem Bonds With Creenbacks"

To the Editor OF the EUeniH1 Public Ledger
Sr--Iour strong expressions on our I'm
preparedness for Peace should be repeated
frequently lest we forget" A democracy
produces a higher average of men than
other forms of government, but II is less
likely to produce leaders. and we must look
for guidance TO and through the press.
There are four plain paths to profitable
peace conditions The first and most i'm
portant Is production and still more pro-
duction, until we all have all we need and
a surplus to sell to the newer and less
efficient countries at prices they can pay
and on terms they can meet. The war has
nearly doubled our production facilities We
should use them-not cut them down, A
high standard of living does not depend
on hsgh wages as many suppose. Ii depends
on production, We should aim to produce,
as Ford does autos. what we wish at prices
so low that with even low wages we can
have both to use and to SELL 1t can be done.
We have tied up our working capital In
Liberty Bonds 1t should be clear that the
savings invested in bonds would have been
working capital for some one II expended
for something other than bonds. Now that
the war is over we should release this money
by redeeming the bonds at par by an issue
of greenbacks. Such action would at once
restore them to par: lessen the need for
selling them by making them better coll
lateral: stop the interest on them which
the workers must pay sooner or later, and,
best OF all, put more money In circulation
and facilitate business and employment.
Much public work is waiting to be done.
Much would oe done II II could be done at
a price that we can AFFORD 10 pay. The
cost Is made up of material labor and In
terest. II is self-evident that II In given
bill OF total costs we can lower or eliminate
the interest we can add that much to the
labor costs. This Is the line along which

HOTELS CHARGING DIME :

Burleson Gives Warning, but Hos
telries Here Have Already Cut
Rate. Despite Loss

Postmaster Burleson announces that his
order prohibiting charge of more than Ave
cents for local telephone calls from hotels
clubs and apartment houses must be obeyed
Any violation. he says. will mean a dis
continuance of the telephone service Of the
offender.
To show he means business" Mr. Bur-
leson has sent this U'essage to Union "
Bethel chairman OF the government tele-
graph and telephone operating board at
New York:
81 notice from the papers that certain
New YORK hotels have determined to charge
ten cents for telephone messages in violation
OF my order You will direct officials operat-
ing the New York Telephone Company's
lines to discontinue services to any hotel
apartment house, club or similar institution
which shall charge any guest, tenant or
member for telephone messages an amount in
excess of that charged for such service at
the public pay stations in the same ex-
change"
Obeying Rule Here
Hotelmen here say they are obeying the
order Of Postmaster General Bureson that
not more than five cents be charged for local
calls. Several hotel managers said a heavy
loss was being incurred by compliance with
the order.
The Walton Hotel, according to II. c.
'ro"hurst assistant manager, is mourning a
loss which will amount in a year to be-
tween $500 and $500
Before the new order was issued some
weeks ago from Washington we were losing
al the Hotel Walton the ten-cent rate
$500 year. We have Ave operators TO
pay There 33O instruments in the
house and eight trunk lines for which we
pay.

the cost 10 the hotel for year by the
change of rate will be $500. This is the
difference between the income from the five
and ten cent charges. Before the change on
account of the vast number of calls made
the Adelphia was able to make a profit, but
the Postmaster Generals order will mean a
loss to the Adelphia of about $1,000 a year
