Laxity In valuInu Life

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Snce the World War we seem
TO have become very lax In the valu-
alton of life, and almost daily we hear
of big catastrophes in which a number
are killed through their daring, and in
no way more than in the experimenting
with airplancs and dirigibles. The great
toll of death is hardly worth the price,
and IL we must experiment, it should
not be done excepting with the assur-
ance Of perfect safety.
There is something radically wrong
when the most Of these accidents came
about through experiments made or Or
dered by the Government. 1t is. very
evident that the men in charge of such
experiments are unfamiliar with their
business. or they would not make pur-
chases Of defective airplnnes, ships.
guns, etc., and then order some Of the
flower Of our manhood to take them out
on trial with the result-a great
tragedy. as was the case with the Roma.
The Government should place only
recognized experts in work Of this char
acter and avoid the terrible conse-
quences brought about through ignor-
ance. JAMES i. Mann.

ROYAL WEDDINGS
OFTEN UNHAPPY
Few British Princesses Have
Wed Subjects, as Mary Will
Do Tuesday
BY fhc Associated Press


London, Feb. 25.---'rhc earliest prec.
edent for Princess Of the royal house.
hold to marry one of her fathers sub
jects is not one with the usual story
book ending in which the couple ''lived
happily ever aftcrward."
The bride in that instance was Lady
Joan, daughter of Edward I. "I,ong-
shanks," who hoped by giving her to
the Earl of Gloucester and Hcrtford to
secure the Earrs loyalty and support.
The wedding occurred in the year
12oO, when the Princess was nineteen
years old. She was widowed when
twenty three years Of age, and secretly
married Ralph de Monthcrmcr. hand
some squire who formerly had been in
her husbands service.
The Kings fury, when knowledge of
the marriage reached him, resulted In
the imprisonment of his son in law,
but the entreatics Of his daughter finally
secured her husbands release. The
king in relenting summoned de Monthcr-
mer to Parliament, made him a privy
councillor and invested him with many
appointments Of lucrative nature.
The success Of the Gloucester mar
ringe from the Kings viewpoint, even
though It was of shorc duration owing
to the death of the Duke, encouraged
Edward I, in 1902, to give another of
his daughters, Lady Elizabeth of
Rhuddlan, to Humphrey de Bohun,
second Earl Of Hereford and first Earl
Of Essex and Lord High Constable Of
England.
This Princess was then twenty years
old and the widow of the Count of 'Hol-
land, whom she married when fifteen
years of age. The Earl was killed in
battle at Boroughbridge while fighting
against his brother in law, Edward II.
The wedding of Lady Margaret.
daughter. of Edward III, also resulted
unhappdly. Her husband was John
Hastings, Earl of Pembroke. This
couple was married in 1859. when
died two years later when her husband
met with defeat Mt the hands of the
French, was imprisoned by the Span
ish and died of poison while awaiting
ransom.
Perhaps the most romantic wedding
of n Kings daughter to. n subject of
her father was that of Lady Isabella
to Enguerrand. Sire dc Coucy. En-
guerrnnd was one af the hostages scnt
by King John, surnamed 'Le Bon,"
King Of France, 135O-64. after Jonn
had been defeated and captured by the
British under the BLACK Prince" son
Of Edward III. Mt Poitiers. in 1856.
Engucrrand's mother was Hnpsburg.
Edward III developed strong liking
for Enguerrand and persuaded him to
become one of his subjects. His mar
riage to Isabella followed, and he was
made Earl of Bedford. But when
Richard ii became King, Engucrrand
renounced his title. deserted his wife
and daughter and returned to France
and became a marshal of France. lie
made crusade against the Turks and
was taken prisoner ut Metropolis and
died in captivity at Brusha.
There was no similar marriage of n
sovcrcign's daughter to subject until
the reign Of Queen Victoria. when
Princess Louise married the Duke of
Argyle.

all places of interest in the city. with
n brief description of what is repre-
scnted. the hours that visitors are wei
coined and the easiest way to reach
these places. Coming in to Broad
Street Station found no pamphlet OF
directions. or any help to get about, and
I had considerable difficulty until |
found persons sufficiently courteous
who were willing to direct me. All
these places should be carefully marked
with tablets, something | also find con-
sderably neglected.

The Legion In Politics

To the Editor Of the ErcntnO Public Ledger;
Sir--It IS most unfortunate that
those leaders of the American Legion
who insisted in dragging thn. organi-
zntion into politics have been given their
way, for IL Is already proving boom. .
crang against the orga anization. Many OF
the ex- service men with whom ! nave
talked feel the sting of criticism
against the patriotic order severely =
and are beginning TO realize that it Is n
dangerous step, and one that is| going
to be the means of disrupting that or
ganizatiOn.
Today, Just as following the home
coming Of our soldier boys. we nre
willing to applaud their bravery. their
effort in saving their country. and TO
apply to them the title of heroes. But
they make the mistake in believing that
because they were soldier boys they own
the country and cnn do as they please.
The more they try to hamper the Gov
ernmcnt. now in the big struggle to
bring about n readjustmcnt as quickly
as possible, the more they will turn the
public against them. and the innocent
the real patriots-will unfortunately
have to suffer with the guilty.
II the Legion makes the move they
now threaten, to run candidates Of mean
ability for offices to force through the
bonus, they will find their efforts de-
fcated. and for few paltry dollars they
will lose all respect the people have
felt for what they termed their bravery
and patriotism. Because the Democratic
Government during the war was so
narrow sighted as to pay large bonuses
to home workers. and went out Of of.
flee leaving the country in a dcplorabIe
financial condition. is no reason why the
ex service men should try to hamper the
present Government in its efforts to
bring about n financial revival so that
we will be rid of the present unemploy-
ment situation.

Daylight Ravlng

TO ne Editor Of thc Evening P"b'fc Ledger:
Sir-I have read the rawlings of the
ncwspancrs on the subject of daylight

il is high time that something was done
to prevent this annual nhomlnation be-
ing foistcd upon us. The newspapers
alone seem to be nt the head Of the
movement. though what their motive IS
7 fail to SEQ. | surely have reason to
know that daylight saving is not the
popular thing it is supposed TO bet

OUT.
daylight saving has been knocked in
the head in England. from which coun
trv We slavishly borrowed the idea. Il
only serves the lcisurcd classes with
their autos and race horses. 1t forces
nconlc to rise earlier in the morning
though they do not retro any earlier
than before. As Il means of settling this
daylight nonsense | suggest that 1t be
