John r. Sutton. the harbor master, has
made an adverse recommendation to the
District Commissioners upon the proposal
of Littlefeld. Alvord & Co. to lease the
G street wharf. Mr.. Sutton calls atten-
tion to the fact that a few years ago the
wharf in question was used by j. Maury
Dove for storing wood. 1t becoming sud-
denly necessary for the District to secure
a garbage wharf, the Commissioners were
seven men on Sunday to remove the wood.
In view Of the fact that it has been
demonstrated in the past that the Dis
trict should have a wharf In that part Of
this is the only wharf In the Vicinity in
possession of the Commissioners, Mr.. SUIT
ton thinks the request should not be
granted.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Common sense is so rare a thing in an
age OF artihciality. affectation and mimic
culture that it's expression seems an oddity
and deserves special cOmmendation by
those who appreciate it. The Star is to be
congratulated for it's active advocacy of
common sense in clothing 50 far as per-
tains to the shirt waist question. And the
St Louis judge (as per Star of June 2D

-tary grant of permission to the jury law

ness or prudishness that objects to the

proposition for sweltering weather, 1t is
abnormal to the point OF idiocy and de-
serves vigorous rebuke- Some years ago
during a state conference of Methodist
very warm weather One of the leading
clergymen NOW nationally prominent In
the church, took of his coat and went
about at the business sessions in his shirt
sleeves Some of the women who attended
the meetings criticised the action. But
wherein was there fault? Conventionalism
is no argument of reason. but of stupidity.
Fastidiousness IS the plea Of morbid de-
generacy of ideas, not of healthy regard
for verities. And modesty-"to the pure
all things are pure" and those who cry
immodest prove nothing but the i'm
purity OF their own perverted notions. The
ficial one IL involves the consideration
OF important ethical relations
Clothing serves three purpOses-a cover

ments and medium for display. Every
argument OF reason, as applied to either
item. reproyes undue consideration of gar

their style or conventiOnaiity. The normal
man would not need clothing as protection
against the elements. Animals have none

can women are accorded the most honor
and protection of virtue of any in the
world-largely the result of the greater
freedom they have in going about publicly.
The proper use of clothing Is to be de-
Tended. of course. as a concession to weak

unless Its shape be made to appear un-
shapely by clothing are to be pitied. Their
relief however. will be in change of mind,
not In increase of covering.
The use of clothing for display Is also a
perversion and sin Of more spiritual guilt
than is the qualification of the flesh. "The
lust of the fiesh the lust of the eyes and
the pride of life are the three great sinful
tendencies Of mankind. named in order Of
climax. The love of display indicates an
Idle misconception of the real values Of
things-a failure to comprehend the most
important, and a devotion to the pursuit
of the trivial and feeting. AS applied to
the question Of dress II Is inconsistent with
every proper consideration of dignity and
worth In the highest expression of creative
wisdom. Man was created in the Divine
likeness. the which was said of no other
object of creation. The body is the high
est. the supremely perfect material mani
festation of wisdom. AS such 1t cannot be
improved upon. Its proportions, its out
lines. its expressions, its motions are the
acme Of grace. beauty and dignity. Man
was made a little lower than the angels,
crowned with glory and honor" A normal
state of mind would recoil from any propo-
sition that the feeble efforts of man to
improve that which received the highest
commendation of the Creator as very
good are an exercise of wisdom. The cast
of fur OF animals, the discarded wool Of
sheep the broken plumage of birds. even
the made-over shrouds of the ugly silk
worm cannot compare with the delicate
beauties of the heaithful human form-and
much unhealthfulness is the result of
abuse IN the use of clothing Artists rec
ognize this truth without perhaps analyz-
ing the philosophy of It. The successful
painting Of the nude Is the height of ar
tistic aspiration and the acme of artistic
attainment. The suhversion of the greater
to the less Is a moral insult to the order
of creation-to eternal wisdom.
Thus from every consideration appears
the folly of SO much stress upon how we
shall be clothed. Let men wear shirt
waists IL they wish, or any other comfort
