Philadelphia "Prea.- ' ' ' That the "problem" -of the servant girl Is something that Is not very fun ny would", with difficulty be gleaned from the remarks concerning- It by Professor vPatten, of the .University of JPenneylvanla, The, aociologists un consciously mak an uproarious joke out of moat of our tribulations which they ; aubject to aclentlflo treatment, and our West ? Philadelphia authority, whose opinions 'were ; published In The Public Ledger yesterday, has sue-; eeeded beyond our most sanguine ex pectations. -, Professor , Patten aays, in effect,,' that we should have no .ser vants unless we are people In the en joyment of Incomes of $5,000 or $10,- 000 a year. The whole trouble begins when ) we crave cooks, "second girls' andtall the adornments of the fine es tablishments which are maintained by the aristocrats. Wives ought to .run to their' own doors, pare their own po tatoea arid aweep their own front atepg. Instead of a proper spirit, what do we see? Women who read novel and gin false ldsais about the dignity ofldeness; wives who wish to live like the wealthiest n their ken; mothers -who regard household toll as infra dig, for their daughters; hus bands and fathers who have the same Ideals for their womenfolk, and try to balance the pyramid on its apex with a result which all see ,in the present relations, between mistress and maid. What I-easier than to believe" that If there were no seVvants there would be no servant problem ? It is very true, as Professor Patten aays, that If the etreets' were clean there would be les use for the' dust brush, and we might then eliminate one of. our troublesome oligarchs. But, as our sociological expert may not have not ed, there to dust In the house with the green shutters In the green fields, and In ships whifth stil the seas. There will be dustv in the balloons and all the wireless things of the future.- We do not really see any hope In this direction, therefore, and are In a good deal of despair. Patent dusting machines, automatic dish washers, beds that are made by press ing a button at the town -hall, con centrated food tablets and kindergar tens and nurseries administered by the State at public- expense will help toi deliver us from our thraldom to the servant girl; but, after all is said and done, are we willing to live like the creatures of some sociologist's fe cund fancy? Why not let the "lady of the i house" continue 1 to ... read her novel and fill her mind with romantic ideas, even if her husband can bring home only :$1,200 a year? Wr have always thought, that engaging and dis missing servants andtalklng about the feat (like shopping) - were enjoy able pastimes rather necessary ..to feminine civilization, In ' this . country.

Mr. Tompkins' Lucid Statement of the Currency Question anKxplana - tlon That .Explains. . Concord Tribune. " The position of Mr. t. A.. Tompkins on the need of a more elastic curren cy, as set forth in a letter published In The Charlotte Observer and repro duced In The Tribune,: Is in keeping with the general opinion of the finan cial .world.;' in his letter Mr. Tomp ktn puts the matter very clearly, apd plainly, showing theWhy; and how. of the need In the matter of more cur rency. . The - last .Congress had tbls matter up. The need has. been point ed out repeatedly for several years and the general opinion is that the coming session, of Congress , will pro vide a way for more circulation cur rency. : 'There is," saya Mr, Tomp kins, "abundant, property . and good business and , the only trouble is shortage of currency." This, la plain .ly stating the situation we confront to-day., There - is. as an aamit. . no deep end dangerous reason' for finan cial troubles, nor continued stringen cy. But there is need of move elas tic currency. There Is also the more reason, In the light of these present condition, an urgent need of putting every dollar ir circulation. Kwry dollar taken out of circulation adds Just that jnuch to th burden the fi nancial world Is bearing tinder a. re stricted currency. It is a, great our den we bear, tremendous prosperity, (Treat .crop movements, and Increas ing demands Tor money to do busi ness on and therefore the demand for circulating money Is great. Looking beyond this present stringency hw the money world, many of the best bus iness men and financiers are of the optnlon that 'prospects are brighter than ever before and that as soon as the present conditions are reliev ed and more money provided for the united states win nave on nana a greater and more general era of good business , and prosperity than ever before. . - V.. ... ;,.' ' .... -v The Origin of Kissing., North American Review. Of lglnally, kissing was a form of mere salutation corresponding -to the custom among the Esquimaux of. rub bing noses. Thus, in the very olden days, it seemed to many a seemly and even plotit act to kiss the feet of Idols, Just as even now millions would rejoice In the opportunity after the modern manner, of course to kiss the toe ' of the Pope. St. Paul ex tended this phase of the ceremony by Inventing and enjoining ; the -; "hoy kiss." or kiss of charity, signifying Christian love and 'brotherhood. So far as we have been able to learn, this method of presenting evidence of fellowship served satisfactorily while confined to 'the brethren: but gradual and apparently not unwilling, participation in the minds of so many husbands of selfish, disposition that the ; practice was long ago discon tinued, and 1 now never observed, except under an unusual stress of clr cumstances,i or vwhen a peculiarly plausible pretext can be found. As a, matter of ; fact, the kiss Nprescrioed bv the Apostle was as harmless a thing as the kisses -of Arabian' women unon the beards of their male rela tives; ' 'but, as the requirements of the times became less rigorous, tne distance between cheek or forhead and Hps seem, to' shorten, and aiban donment of tha pretty custom be came necessary, for reasons which we need 'not recount '7 " Standard Gravel Roofing Guaranteed 10 Years and we will be here to make (he guarantee good. v Needs no repairs ..
