Letters to the Editor
Nerchan, Should Use Home Por

To the Editor OF the Evening Public Ledger;
Sir--I was particularly interested In
an editorial appearing In your paper
last evening, urging concerted ~ :
tempt on the part Of merchants TO ut
tract shipping and freight to this port.
We have the facilities Mt this port 10
attract at least 80 per cent more pusi. .
ness than has ever been handled, put
efforts must be made to urge merchants
to import and export through lniiauel-
phia.
As an evidence Of the present-day
tendency of our merchants there occurs
to me the case Of an attempt that was
made i short time ngo to estaDlish y
direct service between philadelphia ana
Barcelona. A ship was put on the
berth. but her agents failed to secure
sufficient cargo and were compelled 70
send her to New York to finish.
think IL is a matter Of record that much
OF the cargo secured upon her arrival
at New York came overland from Phil
adelphia. Now II our merchants nave
not civic pride enough to use the facin-
ties offered them at their own port our
business cannot be increased.
The port of Philadelphia ohers won,
derful facilities, and, as your editorial
very properly states, cargo can ne
handled here much cheaper and more
cxpeditionsly than at New York, or, in
fact. any other United States port OF
which / have knowledge. Bringing TO
the attention Of the public the difeul'
ties under which we are now laboring,
as you have done, is bound to attract
attention TO our port and facilities.

How l Kept My Parents In Good Health
Through Exercise

NNE of the first things noticed
" about my parents was their youth
and inexpcrience. | could see very
quickly that they were unused to having
babies-that | was probably the first one
they had and they didn't know quite
what to do with me.
could appreciate their position
somewhat and sympathize with them,
for they were the first parents that
had had, and l didn't know quite
what to do with them, either.
At first / despaired of doing any
thing with Rough Face. He looked
like hopeless mess, but | said to
myself after all, he is my father,
and one owes duty to ones father.
Never be It said that I neglected my
duty" So ! steelcd myself aud took
him in hand.
ONE of the very first things that !
noticed was his need for exercise.
Now, exercise. az every baby knows, Is
good for the growing parents, SO de-
termined to give him plenty of it. Every
Sunday morning, when he would want
to sit around and read the paper,
would take him out for walk. That
il to say, | would 60 out, but he would
do the walking.
This was as It should be, He needed
the walk, whereas all needed was
air, and ! could get more Of that by

All Boston Not That Wsy

To The Editor Of the Evening Pubic LEDGER!
Sir--We have read with interest and
not little amusement the arguments
about our city. There Is some justice
in the criticisms, but is IL entirely fair
to censure us because we choose to
pick our friends and associates?
Where has the "Hubite" been hid
ing that he has never met any one able
to discuss topics of the day, music. art
etc! 1t does not speak well for the
class of associates he attracts.
1t Is indeed news to many Philadcl-
phians to learn that they had never
read Shakespeare did not even know
who he was. Has his contact with such
lowbrows cracked his veneer of Boston
culture to a degree that permits him
such an unmannerly outburst?
1t is to be hoped that, in justice to
Boston, Philadelphia will not judge that
city by this letter of one of her sons.

Need Of Clean Recreation

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-A letter TO your Peoples Forum
Of few days ago, headed '"rhc Jazz
Road to Ruin is to be commended for
its emphasis upon the responsibility Of
parents for the character and conduct
of their children. The writer is doubt :
less right when he says that parents
can do more to keep their children de-
cent than all the laws ever conceived
by man and rcformcr.
But when this has been said there
remain certain considerations upon
which the writer has not dwcIt. In
Philadelphia there are thousands of
homes economically incapable OF pro

of the children, even where good mtcn-

Philadelphia, January 10, 1922.
After Penn had obtained the grant OF
Pennsylvania he was desirous of buying the
land on the western bank OF the Delaware
River TO the sea, In 1882 he procured from
tho Duke Of York u release Of all his titles
and claims 10 New Castle and twelve miles

circle OF twelve miles radius was then run

Opposes Parkway Site

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I notice an article in your paper
regarding the site for the coming
Sesqui- Centennial, in which it Is sug-
gested that the Parkway should be used.
think this would be most undesirable
site. 1t would mar the beauty Of our
city, and we have been in hopes that
this Parkway would be finished by the
time the fair was held here in order that
we could point it out as one Of our
beauty spots.
There would not be room on the
Parkway for this Sesqui Centennial IL
it will. There would be no chance for
picturesqueness, and, besides. oil that
has been accomplished along that drive
way would be held up for ut least ten
years more. 1t would be easy of access,
it is true, but 1t would be a little too
easy to conveniently handle the crowdr
that are likely to attend and also allow
business to be conducted that has to
cross the section.
1t would be interesting to have the
projectors OF this site explain how 1t
would he possible to build an adequate
exposition ut such n site. 1t would be
necessary to fence off the grounds, in
order to profit through admissions. and
how could this be done in the center ot
the city without great Inconvenience
to the public in having to go around
blocks Of space boarded up to reach
destination?
think the hest place thus frr men-
toned Is the strip of land between the
lower end Of the city and League Is
land. which would bring an incon-
venience to nobody, and where the
grounds are already laid out for suC!
show, with the exception Of the
planting of trees. to add to it's beauty.
and this same thing would have to be
done IL the Parkway location should BE-
accepted. should like to hear from
others on this point of utilizing The
Parkway. JOHN T. ROBERTS.
