CITIES GROWING BETTER.

''One touch of nature makes the whole
word kin" A fine old proverb. dealing
VITA Q principle OF much wider appica-
kion than tho mere quoted words seem
20 indicate. One Is apt to think of the
''tonch Of nature" merely AS IA momen-
2afy impulse which leads to an i'm

Or ef sympathy. There Is more than
this behind the proverb and its prin-
ciplA There Is the idea that every good
and creditable feeling coming straight
from the heart OF man spreads its In

circles among groups OF other men.
At the present time there is health

the best side of things. Because trade

TO be felt that men are also better
contentment and prosperity being ac-
cepted rightly as good medicine for
many human Ills.
Right in line with this train OF feel
ing comes the declaration OF President
Kingsbury, of the American Social
Science Association. that our American
cities are growing better. This is a
most comforting reversion OF the ordIn-
ary cry that cities are the hotbeds Of
aniQuity and OF the idea too prevalent
In rural regions that they never can be
anything else. Yet Mr.. EinEsbury does
not bring news to the cities themselves

PKEsrIDIGlTATION IN THE ARMY.

An army overcoat that can be con-
verted into n N-shaped tcnt-dog tent
1t used to be called during III late I'M
pleasantness-is under consideration by
the War Department at Washington.
The Austrian army is supplied with
these coat-tents or tent-coats, which,
ever you choose to call them. and 1t is
said has found them to be all that has
been claimed for them. A dozen Of
them have been sent to this country and
will be given trial.
The garment Is diamond-shaped when
spread out, and when worn by the sol
which falls below the knees. when the
soldier Is on forced march or picket
duty he can take OFF his coat and using
his musket and bayonet for pole con-
vert 1t into tent. II Il large shelter
Is required "A number OF the coats can
be laced together by the buttonholes.
To make the American $l3-a-month
soldier entirely happy something more
than an overcoat that can he prestoed
into tent will be necessary. If he
could be given cap that could be
converted into kettle. rifle that
could he turned into frying-pan, a
red necktIe that could he cooked into
flap-jacks and cartridges that would
make good beef tea bouilon. with few
other convertible accoutrements. he
might go through his term OF enlist
ment with n light heart and feel that
there was some satisfaction In being a
bold soldier boy.

At WONT BE AS HOT AS IT USED TO BF.

Tho Weather Bureau, which has been
making the heat OF Summer all the hot
Ser by telling us with somewhat ghoul-
Ssh Joy just how high the mercury
mounted on the most sizzlesome days,
u now going to reform and soothe us
with statements that will Jolly us out
OF our discomfort and prevent our col
lars from willing and our clothing from
sticking to us during even the torrldest
spells Of weather.
Chief Moore explains that his Bureau
will achieve this refreshing result by
announcing the sensible as well as the
air temperature. The sensible tempera-
ture belongs to the human being and is,
Mr. Moore says, six to eight degrees
lower than the air temperature, which
has heretofore been taken and given Out.
This promised relief from Summer
wees will come little late, but It may
cause us to look forward to next July
and August with something akin TO
pleasure. II now the Weather Bureau
could devise some plan which would re-
duce the Winter frigidity so that on a
day when the mercury is six degrees be-
low zero a man whose fur overcoat is
in "hock" wouldn't feel the need of il

Gently worn by her Is thus described:

corded silk, while the bodice was fash

a slight fulness to the front. 1t was
trimmed with bands of gold galloon,
three of them being drawn down over
the front of the corsagc, while one band
was placed down the sleeve. reaching
to the elbow. Two rows of this same
adornment were used in the back. and
the entire effect of the glistcning gold
against the soft yellow chiffon was
charming. 1t was finished around the
shoulders with narrow band of mara
bout, and this was also used around the
sleeves, at the elbow. yellow satin
stockings and slippers. with a tiny gold
buckle and great fan OF yellow gauze,

WHAT WAS THE ENGINEERS DuTYl

When Engineer Frank Jensen jumped
from his disabled engine on the Sea
Beach road yesterday and left the
stcam-drivcn monster to do its work OF
obstruction and bloodshed further down
the track he failed to reach the heroic
ideal. Whether he also failed In his
duty as a man and an engineer Is a
question not to be decided without a full
and fair inquiry and calm deliberation.
He had stayed at his post through one
crash. His own story Is that he then
found his engine to be 30 damaged as to
be unmanageable. lie knew that an
other and worse crash was coming. that
he could not prevent 1t, and that to re-
main where he was would be suicide.
The hero engineer would have rlsked
tho suicide. There were four miles OF
clear track ahead. within the time re-
quired to cover the distance something
might have been done. Tho throttle
alarm might have been sounded by
whistle or bell. Someway. somehow the
people might have been saved.
As was said at the beginning this
engineer was not hero. Was he a man
faithful? That is for the investigators
out prejudice and not in a spirit OF too
keen Il condemnation. 1t Is well to
acknowledge that even upon a railroad

sert her good taste in her clothing, and
then carry herself with an air which be-

tecmed paper Nioets protest against the unap-
preciated attentions Of Clarence, I take pleasure
in giSng her advice which is the result OF ex-
perence. II she Is real anxious to get rid OF the
poor deah fclIah she must pretend that she adorss
him. that she is jealous of him and that she
doesn't want him to speak to any other girl. She
should also insist on his calling every night and
in he should fail to show UP make him give
an account OF himself. 1t would help matters
considerably II she were careless about her dress
and her hair. appearing to Intentionally neglect
these matters. She should assume air Of pro-
prietorship over Garry and give him to UNDER
stand by her general conduct that she didn't need
