_ _ DESCRIBED AS SERENE "There is an abiding sense of the fitness of things in Philadelphia,â€" an almost British sense of conformity. There is something in the atmosphere that makes for the doing of the right thing in the rightest sort of way." Yet Mr. Lewis finds also something to criticise: . Magazine Writer Finds Its Calm Rhiladelphia is "the most charming American city," according to Frederâ€" ick Lewis, who has been surveying a score of America‘s "big towns" for the Woman‘s Home Companion. It is a city of hidden charm, he finds, and above all other cities in the world he asserts its right to the adjective "serene." He explains: "Philadelphians to my mind are too content," he writes. "They have seen New York wrest from their noble brows the crown of wealth and popu-} lation. They have seen Washington become what Philadelphia once was: the nation‘s capital; and Boston, what Philadelphia might have been: the mation‘s shrine. And they are conâ€" tent â€"because they are Philadel“ phians. When the President â€" dispatched : Secretary Hoover and Dwight Davis, secretary of war, to the flood region, his parting and final message was that his primAry concern was the savâ€"| ing of human life and the mitigating | of the sufforing of the distressed peoâ€"| ple. The matter of flood control, ha’ sdid, would be taken care of in Washâ€" ingten. While appreciative that inj the course of their work they v:ouidl urdoubtedly secure impressions for «the solving of the flood problem, he‘ wished them to concentrate on tho! human side. Only the other day at| the White House, this same thought | was again emphasized when some | gentlemen sought rather insistentlyJ to obtain from the President his| thoughts on flood control, and he adâ€" | vised them that all the energy of the government was now being devoted to the rclief problem, and with men, Women and children perched on house tops and in trees, and until they were relieved, he did not want any energy devoted to an engineering study. | The people who advertise freely are often put to the trouble of enâ€" larging their stores to accommodate the increasing business, but they have not so far complained about it. "Outsiders are not always so appreâ€" ciative. _ No one, except a nativeâ€" born, thinks of Philadelphia as one of the great centers of the world‘s population. A city of more than two million inhabitants. Third largest in the United States. No one thinks of it as a great railroad center. Yet one railroad whose headquarters are in Philadelphia carries one tenth of the nation‘s traffic and employs a quar-! ter of a million men. No one thinks of Philadelphia as a great port. Perâ€" haps because it isn‘t properly, upon sea. But it is one of the ten principal ports of the world; one of the three in the United States. Early Philadelâ€" | phia gave our country its first bank, | its first life insurance company, its first medical school, its first daily newspaper, its first magazine, its first and municipal waterworks, its first and only Declaration of lnde-} pendence; yet modern Philadelphia is content to be known as a slow town. ' Mrs. Bertha Holmes of Asquith, Sask., is president of the Satkatcheâ€" wan Egg and Poultry Pool, an organâ€" ization made up almost entirely .of womenâ€"farmers‘ wives who became tired of selling their poultry prodâ€" ucts in the old way and decided to coâ€" operate. There is only one man on their board of directors. In the opinâ€" ion of Farm and Fireside, the pioneer coâ€"operative work which these womâ€" en are doing bids fair to become as famous in its own way as is the Western Grain Pool.
