Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather
service bureau, has issued general or
der forbidding persons connected with
the service from smoking cigarettes
during Office hours. That Chief Moore
Is not opposed to the use of tobacco by
the men under his control is evidenced
by his permission granted them to
smoke pipes or cigars while on duty.
1t is stated that the order was care
fully considered before 1t was issued
and was the result of extended investi-
cation. Speaking Of this matter, Chief
Moore Is reported as saying: ''In this
service we are compelled to maintain a
very strict discipline, in order to secure
satisfactory service. Some of our
men, who are regarded as the most
thorough and competent, doing every
detail of their work with the utmost
promptness. and accuracy, gradually
become careless and lax. sent inspec-
tors to investigate, and in number of
cases it was found directly attributable
to the use Of cigarettes. l am not
authority whatever over any privilege
which the employees Of the service,
should have, but as public servant Il
feel that it is~my duty to correct any
evil which may exist, even If in at
tempting to make this they claim am
overstepping my authority. can state
most emphatically that the order will,
stand, and that it applies to the entire
force of the bureau throughout the en-
tire service. Cigars and pipes are not
barred" This order will doubtless Gre
ate great deal Of discussion, and
those addicted to the use of cigarettes
will look upon it as an infringement Of
personal liberty. But the order is sim
ply in line with a rule generally en-
forced on railroads prohibiting en-
ployes when on duty from drinking
spirituous liquors. If cigarette smoking
results in neglect of duty there can be
no question as to Chief Moore's right
to issue the order in question, and
those who decline to obey it can main;
tain their independence by quitting a
service the rules Of which they con-
slider oppreSSiye.

Apparently the New Hampshire Com
missioner of Labor is the first to recog
nize the taking of summer boarders as
an industry with a body Of statistics
all it's own. He finds this to be the
chief source of revenue for the inhabit
ants of 2O4 out of the 235 towns in New
Hampshire, representing an invested
capital Of $1O,442, ,352-a figure that is
also increasing at the rate Of nearly
81 100000 o year. He reports that his
State entertains ia, $50 summer board
ers each year, and does it so badly that
only one-third Of them stay longer than
a week. Yet perhaps it is not the bad
ness but the cost of the entertainment
that drives away the boarders so soon,
for they annually leave with their en-
tertainers $4,947, ,935, besides parting
with $725,OOO each summer in the form
Of railroad and steamship boat fares.
This may seem like reducing the beau
ties of White Mountain scenery to dol
lars and cents, but the multltudinous
summer boarder is not to be pitied. He
gets his moneys worth in fresh air and
a new inspiration for the dull routine
of city life.

A medical journal calls attention to
the general neglect Of sanitary and
hygienic methods in the management
Of sleeping-cars. There are stringent
regulations about the transportation Of
dead bodies in baggage-cars, but there
is no adequate and systematic provi
sion for protecting living travellers
from exposure to infection, although
many passengers must leave disease
producing germs in the bedding or up
holstery. 1t is customary to cleanse
the blankets and cushions of dry dust
and cinders by subjecting them to pow
erful currents Of air, driven by steam,
but 1t is said that they are seldom so
thoroughly treated as to remove the
danger of infection. Unless railroad
authorities take prompt measures, ii
seems to be the duty Of State boards Of
health to interfere for the safety of the
travelling public. This Is only one case
among many in which new occasions
teach new duties" Almost every in
yention or advance in modern life Gre
ates situations which require the fresh
application of old, eternal principles.
1t requires the strong pressure Of law
or Of public opinion to secure the adop-
tion Of new and needed methods, even
when health, comfort and life are at
risk. Only the Undetermined can keep
up with the inecssant demands for re-
adjustment.

There is practically coal famine in
Europe. mainly due to labor troubles
in France, Germany, Saxony and Aus

Disbelieved the Witnesses.

Recently q woman was on trial be-
fore police court in Charlotte, N. c..
She had figured as defendant before.
Knowing that fact her counsel on this
occasion, who was proving an alibi for
her, took occasion to put on an unusual
number Of witnesses, and some of them
Of undoubted character. So confident
was he that, when through the exam
ination, he refrained from addressing
the jury, saying to the court that the
witnesses for his client were such as to-
render it unnecessary. The police court
promptly entered up sentence. Observ7

for the defendant, he politely said]

The country Is aging noticeably. This
is testified to IN the closer calculations
as to-price between the retail merchant
and his customers and the demand that
has arisen for half-cent coin. The
department stores Of the large cities
are already putting a fiye-mill coin into
use, and the Treasury officials at
Washington have become so impressed
that popular demand and need for
such coin exists that bill has been
prepared for introduction in Congress
authorizing its mintage. AS the bar
gain counter has evidently become a
settled institution, the coin would fail
into general use.
