Clothing Converter. Buster.

Tho volume of orders being booked
by clothing manufacturers has begun
70 be reflected in slightly better de-
nnand for converters' supplies. The be-
lief that prices within the next few
months will be relatively higher than
those obtaining at this moment has
occasioned some forward buying. How
ever. the bulk of business placed at this
time is largely of a hand to mouth
character. Cutters are said to be fairly
beseeching converters for n lar%e va
riety of colors. Leading converters are
deploring the indiscriminate liquidation
by several merchants who apparently
are sorefully in need of cash.

Makes Plea for the Bonus

To the Editor Of tho Euenin1 Public Ledger:
Sir-Rcading Philadelphia evening
paper of n recent date. ! happened
across headline that read something
like this:
Forty five million dollars yearly cost
to the Government for disabled soldiers
which means ex service men. Too bad.
indeed, TINT it should be under such
expense to the boys who saved the coun.
try from ruin at the loss Of their own
futures. Does the Government think
that the service man Is patting himself
on the back for the few dollars per
month that it allows for disability,
for disability that has cost many a
man a bright future?
If the paper that printed the news of
this and stated also that 1t is going
against soldier bonus would take the
trouble to figure up the service mems
side of it and how much each man lost
or loses each year, and add thcm to-
gether. it would soon see that $40 ,0OO,-
600 would not rccOmpense them.
Now the boys are after small bonus
SO as to give them a fresh start, per.
haps a start in small business, per.
hnps a farm. or perhaps n home or an
education of the right sort, not waste
of a few more years in the schools that
they are compelled to go to now.
If we can afford to even think of can.
ceiling loans to other countries that have
looked after their men much better than
we have, ! am sure we can afford a
soldier honus. Let no one talk against
bonus for cX-service men. and this
goes for the Liberty Bond holders. Why
don't they stop and think what small
sum n 500 bond would bring IL these
soldiers had laid down on the job, as
Congress has OH the bonus quest ion?
Other nations made provisions for their
men, why not us?
How can IL Congress be so dumb as
not to be able to see the benefits of the
Legion's plans to help the service man
and at the same time make a better ma
ton? A time draws near when the cX-
service men will have II chance to leave
the Congressman in where they are or
got them out, and they can do it If
they use their heads.
Let the Legion take up politics and
keep it clean. See that the right men
are put up and they will he elected
by a vast majority, us I think. for one.
that to be sure of the right men going
to Congress comes under the head OF
100 per cent Amcricanism. Don't nj.
low tools of other nations to be elected.
Don't allow men that can be bribed by
ether nations to pass on laws to benefit
foreign countries and not our own.
The boys fought for America and let
it be America first all the time. not
only in case of war. MIR. Congressman.
get busy and don't, let it be said by
other countries that our service men
are dying of starvation, committing sui
eide. etc.. because of neglect Of Con-
gress and our equal rights President.

The sesqui.centenni Buildings

To tho Editor OF the Epcnimn Public Ledger:
Sr--I never could see the policy in
building II great worlds fair to make
the buildings merely temporary struc-
lures when ut the expenditure of IL
not much greater sum they could be
made permanent buildings to be used
for all sorts of purposes for fntNrc gen.
erations. For that reason | am in ia
vor of the site of the Parkway and
Fairmount Park, and have tne plans so
drawn that the main structure will be
built for permanency. 10 DC used later
as a big convention hall for this city,
which we SO badly need.
Make the machinery hall substan-
tial structure, and when it has served
it's fair purposes, it can be transformed
into a building for our fine Commercial
Museum. Build the art palace as Il
permauent structure, tho horticultural
hall. and most of the other buildings at
such points a'ong the Parkway and in
! the park that they can remain there
permanently. not only as an adornment
| to the city, but as n place for the edu-
cation and edication of the people who
must spend the money for their con-
structiOn. =, u. .Iul1SoN.

These girls felt their independence to
