Ot rrftiippt.i uf l.iiliur
That mechanics now In the senlco will
flood tho labor market at the clo.-e of
hostilities Is BCOflWl at by Mr. llarrett,
for he claims that the work to be done
will require e-ve-ry nvalinble mechanlo.
"Since tlm beginning of the war," he
continued, "construction hat been nt a
low ebb, and for the last sl months
virtually at n standstill, because tho
war Industries boaid, In order to divert
materials and labor to war work, put
a ban on private operation, but the
will be renewed whin tho ban Is lifted.
"In a word, wo must catch up on
deferred work and also get back to the
normal building pace. That means that
wo will start out at tho end of the war
hometblng like a full year behind sched
ule, nmr as a, result thero will bo un

C tho war.
Operation Here t'llt lon
How tho war hat affected bullding
opeiatlons In Philadelphia Is emphasized
in the figures of the present jear as
compared with thoso for 1516.
In tho latter ar 9316 buildings were
erected at a total cost of J Jl,r.30,77S.
while tho figures for the ten months of
tho present year ending with October
Hhovv that only SOG.I- buildings were
erected at ft cost of $16,708,980.
How tho building of dwelling was
rlrtually 'brought to a stop Is shown In
this v ear's figures, for in the ten months.
Including October, only 903 dwellings
have been erected, as compared with
7751 for 1916.
In 1917 there were 4011 buildings
erected at a total cost of IS,5tt,4B0.
These figures were obtained from tho
Bureau of Iliilldlng Inspection at City
Hall. During tho present yar the I'nltul
States flov eminent has erected 'JO0U
dwellings for war woikers, but tiny are
not listed at City Hall and have no
bearing on tho normal building activi
ties of tho city.
Tho total value of this year's con
struction llork Is due largely to the ex
tension of small factories where war
work Is being done, and only for this
work tho year's building totals would
have struck the lowest level In thirty
ears.
Cof Problem Donilnunt
Whether building materials will come
down from their lofty positions Is the
dominant question In the minds of mas
ter builders They long for a tumble,
but, according lo Mr. llarrett, they do
not expect it,
"If tho unskilled labor inaikct gets
back to normal," ho concliulid, "tho
price of cement, lime, bricks -and lumber
may drop, but there Is no Indication that
the war's end will icstore the unskilled
labor market to Its pre-war condition.
Personally, I do not anticipate any ap
preciably decreases." i

PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAIi
Tlic Pennsylvania Hospital, tlic first founded in America, has ministered in this com"
munity continuously for 167 years since its charter in 1751, to the needs of the poor who have
been sick or injured in body or deranged in mind. The Hospital has served our country in,
every war from the Indian warfare of Colonial days to the present conflict, in which it was
foremost in furnishing a Base Hospital for relief in France. The personnel of this unit was
withdrawn from the Hospital depleting the Medical and Surgical Staff by more than three
quarters. In addition the Hospital has set apart no beds for the use of the United States
Navy. The majority of these beds have been in continuous use since January, and the Hospital
will continue to serve the Government to the utmost of its resources.
During the last twenty years the capacity of the Hospital has more than doubled, and its'
bounty proportionately increased to meet the growing demands of die public. During the last
year over fifty thousand patients were treated in tlic Pine Street Department, who paid little or
nothing toward their support. Since its opening, the Department in West Philadelphia has
received nearly twenty thousand mental patients, of whom more than seven thousand have been
restored to their normal mentality. The charity of the Department for the sick and injured last
year amounted to $173,000, and diat of the Department in West Philadelphia to more than
$142,000.
Unfortunately, an erroneous impression is prevalent diat die financial resources of the Hospital
are abundant, whereas in fact they are very deficient. The deficit of last year was $n6,ooo.oo.l
The increasing expenses of the current year and the accumulation of deficits of previous years'
will add largely to this sum.
In ordinary times no occasion for alarm would appear inasmuch as every charitable agency!
like die Pennsylvania Hospital, which has received no State aid for more than a century and is
wholly dependent for maintenance upon legacies and donations from private sources, would be
expected to seek from generous benefactors die necessary financial assistance; but under present
extraordinary conditions arising from the War a crisis in the affairs of the Pennsylvania Hospital
is obvious. A limit must be set to increasing indebtedness. Financial aid alone can avert curtail
ment of work or reduction of bounty; curtailment of work means failure at a critical juncture of
nauonal and local need, and reduction of bounty, a violation of all traditions of the past.
The possibilities of public and humanitarian service seem almost boundless. Our faith,
grounded in the worthy achievement of many generations, and recognized in generous benefactions
heretofore, entrusts the future of the Pennsylvania Hospital to its benefactors, patrons and friends.'
It is hoped and believed that they will make adequate response to this appeal for the main
tenance of the Pennsylvania Hospital.

Since tho war-savings campaign start
ed In December, 1917, nearly 111,000,009,
of the big green stamps have been ab-
sorbed by Phlladelphlans.
Tho November price of the War Sav
Ings Stamps Is $4,22 each. Tho pried
advances one cent mcnthly. The stamps
mature January 1, 1D23, when they ar
to be redeemed for 15 apiece, a profitable
margin over tho cost price.
A continued unusually heavy redemp
tion of the stamps, war-savings commit
tee officials! declare, would have two ef
fects, it would riqulre correspond
ingly heavier sales of the stamps next
year and probably would Influence th
sl7.o or the tlfth Liberty Loan.
Holding Helps All
"War savings stamps are ono of tha
best Investments In the world a com
mittee olllclal said. Other ofTlclata say
that holding the stamps until they
mature benefits the stamp owner and
the nation. Tho stamp owner is benefit
ed by the financial gain made possible
by holding the stnmps. The nation Is
benefited because of the large sums
madu available for needed expenditures.
