time that newspapers stop publishing

interviews come from Anti Saloon
League headquarters
Tho answers of Bishop Berry and
II. NJ. Chalfant, editor of the Anti
Saloon League paper, to the views of
Rabbi Joseph krauskopf. as published
in Mondays papers, arc insulting.
Both Of these writer's try TO east n
reflection upon Rabbi Krauskopf which
is not warranted by his lecture or his
views on the facts in general.
Rabbi Krauskopf has bccn too long in
Philadelphia and, as man. a citizen
and patriotic American, he is too
we'll known and loved by jew and gen
tile alike to have any charges made by
Bishop Berry or the Anti Saloon
League. Merely because these men say
that Rabbi Krauskopf's remarks give
comfort and aid to bootlcggcrs doesn t
make it so.
In closing. may say that ! dom

Friendships In a City

tS'SJ
10 thc Editor Of the EVcnia1 Pubhc Ledger:
Sir--T believe that there exists just
MS much Of real friendly sentiment In
this city as in any other city. town or
hamlet. but you may require a little
patiencc TO find it,. The trouble with
many Of us Is that We do not know how
to seek it. We may force ourselves In
tho search, but then We are apt TO en-
counter the old adngc that familiarity
breeds contempt" Friendships must
come to you unsolicited.
Human nature Is peculiar. You must
work for what you gain, whether it Is
in business or social life. There are
enough persons of n friendly feeling in
every place to go around, but unfortu-
nately we do not go about 1t in the
right way 20 bring Il ont. Like can
always find like If It pcrseveres, but
what in one may attract you, he
may not find you TO possess anything
that may attract him.
II you can Judge of human nature
YOU will easily be able to discern from
your acquaintanccs those 70 whom you
might make an appeal. Don't admire
n man for such qualities that he may
possess. and then expect him 10 rccip-
rocate if you lack the qualities he ad-
mircs. Like must meet like before
u friendship begins to grow. It il a
question Of station in life that is gen l.
orally the pitfall. Nou look for a GER
tain type Of person with whom you
would associate, but you must give that
same person corresponding privilege.
believe patience always has its re-
ward. and If you will be sensible in the
matter am sure you will find as much
brothcrly love in Philadelphia as. exists
anywhere. but YOU must not be unrei
sonable in your expectations.

Letters to the Editor
Work and Married Women

TO the Editor Of the Euenino Public Ledger:
Sir--In the Peoples Forum OF re-
cent issue of your paper tH. W. j..
condemns employers for not discharging
married women where the husbands of
the latter earn sufficient TO adequately
keep the family. This he seems TO feel
would be an important step toward
solving the unemployment problem.
The amount of unemployment, how
ever, relieved by such methods would
be extremely slight, and 1t is very
questionable IL the social gain would
offset the loss resulting from the dis
charge of the married women now work.
ing. All this Is a very complex affair.
To begin with. II must be remem-
bered that II is most valuable socially
that capable married women. not bear
ing or rearing children. should be en-
ployed. Idleness is just as bad for
married women as for any other class
of society. Heretofore. there has been
too much willingness on the part of
married women without small children
10 accept their full economic support
from their husbands. Many have been
perfectly willing to remain parasitic or
semi parasitic. Tlnt an increasing
number refuse TO longer accept support
from their husbands. but insist upon
earning n part Of the family fund, is n
most propitious and welcome sign. 1t
Is an Indication that married women ere
no longer satisfied 10 evadc their share
of the economic maintenance of the
houe. In most of such cases their en-
pldyment Is socially and individually
beneficial.
Nonetheless. 1t is necessary that these
now out Of work be employed. prcSi-
dent Harding, II will be recalled, in
sisted that his Unemployment Commits
sion recommend no really basic RENE
dies. That body wAs to content Itself
with cXhortations and palliatives.
Palliativcs. however. have done and
will do little to eliminate unemploy-
ment. Ground floor measures must DC
taken. Among those Of basic char
acter the following may be listed:
First. A thoroughgoinng system OF
national labor exchanges.
Second. Raising the age Of work for
children and thorough enforcement OF
existing child labor laws.
Third. Shorter hours.
Fourth. Dovetailing of seasonal oc-
cupations.
Fifth. Saving public work so Tar as
possible for slack times.
Sixth. Unemployment insurance.
Seventh. Old age and invaudity pen =
sions.
Eighth. Some system for separating
the unemployables from those capable
of employment, and provision made for
the care OF the former.
In dealing with unemployment. il
must be recognized that it is n prob
lem of industry, that it should be Il
charge on industry, just as is the cost
of raw materials. interest on invest
ment, and such things. Moreover, II
is essential to remember that mere
scratching of the surface will be of little
avail. AS Il social problem, uncmploy-
ment must be, thoroughly and fundn
mentally studied. and then measures %
basic character looking toward it,
abolition courageously adopted.
