that he stood beside Captain Mckee on

bly, yet better calculated to bring up
supplies than n covey of automobiles
would be. The New York Journal sug-
gcsts that they might be stecl'clad and
advanced over level ground against an
intrenched enemy, carrying troops who
would thus be protected from small

The automobile" appears to be rap

plcmcnt. Several recent tests OF the
new vehicle on ordinary country roads

dltlons, 1t can maintain astonishing
speed for a long stretch, being compar'

with the horse. While II was presumed
that 1t was no more than Oh even terms

the opinion that it will play no incon'

The automobile will be useful in war
IN many respects. 1t can carry men rap

that the automobile" cannot operate
successfully In very rough or heavily

An anonymous philosopher has just
discovered that burglars are kind to
babies and are apparently their nat.
ural protectors. He has arrived ut this
profound truth by reading many books
about burglars, the latest of which Is
"The Hooligan Nights" In which the
notorious All HOollgan saves the life
of baby in house which he Is burg
larizing. Quite recently there has ap'
peared In the newspapers an account
of how a burglar saved a dying child.
Both literature and the drama afford
further confirmation Of the burglar
and baby theory thus brought to light.

Mr.. Davis "The Disreputable Mr..
Reagan" Indicate that the true func-
tlon of the burglar In literature is to
take the place of nurse girls. The phil.
osopher who has made this discovery
Is u man with the courage of his con
victions, and he has accordingly start
cd campaign to have nurses sup
pressed and 10 give the care of neg
lectcd children altogether into the
hands of their tender natural protec-
tors-the burglars. He recalls how
many nurses have injured or betrayed
their helpless charges, from those who
merely hirt with policemen aud leave
the baby to take care of itself to those
who have abducted the child, rs in the
case of little Marion Clark. The
musically inclined have not forgotten
how Azucena In 'TrOvatOre' and Lit,
tie Buttercup In "Pinafore' cruelty
"mixed those babies up" These things
would never have happened If the chill
dren had been intrusted to the watch
full and chiyalrous care of burglars. If
parents must neglect their children, let
them no longer take the risk of intrust-
ing the poor innocents to wicked
nurses, but let them advertise for an
unemployed burglar who can furnish
references from some novelist IN good
standing.

A discussion has been started In
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, which, rs
1t has Il reason for existing, Is likely
to spread to other congregations. 1t
relates to the wearing by women of
their hats In church. As far as thea
ters are concerned, It Is now generally
conceded that large hats are nuisance
and even where their removal Is not re-
qulred by an ordinance, 1t Is generally
done as an act of courtesy. 1t Is a rare
thing nowadays at q theatrical per.
fOrmance to SET lady willing to make
herself conspicuous by wearing large
hat. II she does she is suspected of
caring more for her own appearance
than she does for the rights or com.
