Computing Engineer Declines Request
Of NJ. Patteu.
Mr.. James NJ. Patten. of Nineteenth and
Gales Streets northeast, has requested
the Commissioners to improve The road
way of Nineteenth Street between Gales
Street and Benning Road. to lay a side
walk and gutter on the west side and to
remove lamps. fire plugs and hydrant
to line OF sidewalk.
The Computing Engineer has reported
that as a result of a personal eNamina-
tion he is unwilling to recommend any
improvement on this street except mi
nor repairs TO the roadway and broke n
portions of the sidewalk. He says if a
new sidewalk were laid presumably of
cement, il would have to be placed at
grade. with the result that the improve
ments on the street would be left below
grade. These are of a temporary char
acter. and it is believed that large
amount of the Inconvenience due to a
change Of conditions when the new walk
is constructed can be discounted as new
Improvements replace the existing one

wnv Americans Think Quicker.

The American people can think
quicker and more TO the point than any
other people in the world. This state
ment vas made recently in a New
York newspaper. but the reason given
was wide Of the mark. The American
people read in the aggregate ten times
more than any other people. The Amer
lean boy gets his inspiration, his ener-
getic disposition, his ambition, his
keen snapshot judgment and his quick
wit largely from his reading-and very
largely from his newspaper reading.
The pOise and culture and refinement
and solidity come later in life from
the reading of books and magazines
and from contact with men and things.
1t is the American newspaper which
sets the initial pace. Push and pluck
are contagious, and more germs are
Matched in the average American
newspaper office than anywhere else

means of which the retina, with all its

ward the center of the figure Their
rises up a dark trunk, from which th
veins branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the opti
nerve enters the eye, and this expert

Hid His Whip.

The late Lord Queensberry's famous
protest at the performance Of Tenny'
sons Promise of May" had a quaint
sequel. A society journal. now deceased
made some scathing comments on the
incident.
Lord Queensberry armed himself
with a heavy whip and called at the
office, asking to see the editor. He was
conducted to the presence Of an elderly
woman. who regarded him severely
through her spectacles.
Remembering the "Queensberry
rules" he hid the horsewhip and mere
ly remarked that he had called to talk
the matter over.
