MAKE 1T SHORT.

Long visits, long stories, long
essays, long exhortations and long
prayers seldom profit those who
have to do with them. Life is
short. Time is short Moments
are precious. Learn to condense,
aoridge and intensity. We can
bear things that are dull if they
are only short. We can endure
many aches and ills If it is over
soon, while even pleasure grows
insipid, and pain intolerable, if
they are contracted beyond the
limits of reason and convenience.
Learn to be short. Crop off the
branches, stick to The main side
of your case. If you pray ask for
what you believe you will receive,
and get through; if you speak, tell
your message and hold your peace
if you write, boil down two sem
fences into one and three words
into two.

ASKS FOR RELIEF.
Subcontractor on School House Wants
to Omit Water Meter.

Pavarini & Greer, contractors for the
Washington Heights school building, re-
Gently transmitted to the District Commits
sioners a communication from Ed. ]. Han
nan, subcontracto- for plumbing, calling at
tention to various additional work required
of him by the former inspector of plumb
ing, and asking to be relieved Of the re-
quirement which provides for the installa-
ton of water meter.
Mr. o. l.. ingalls,, the present inspector
Of plumbing, in reporting upon the matter,
calls the attention of the Commissioners to
a specification in the contract for the school
building which reads: Meter to be fur
nlshed and set by plumber, using any
standard to be approved by the water de-
partment Of the District of Columbia
Certain notifications of the specifica-
tions," says Mr.. ingalls,, were made pre-
vious to awarding the contract for the con-
struction Of the school, but none was in
serted that would affect in any way the
status of the water supply. This would
not seem proper time to consider the
question of allowances for other plumbing
work which is not covered by the specifica-
tions. and alleged to have been ordered by
the late inspector of plumbing. I would
respectfully recommend that Messrs. Pava-
rini & Greer be Informed that the specifi-
cations provide for the installation of one
water meter, and that the department can
see no just reason why this provision Of
the specifications should not be fully car
ried out"

Mr.. VOLTS Directorship

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I shall not cross words with Mr. Simon
Wolf as to mistake In the South Caro-
lima sense. I have assumed that all the
members of the board of charities are gen.
tlemen. My mistake seems to have been
in not giving Mr.. Wolf his full title With
out naming him 1 referred to him as di-
rector of the German Orphan Asylum. He
objects to this, but admits that he is an
honorary director. and is grateful to be SO.
l doubt whether the general public will see
so much difference in the two positions as
to make 1t impossible for Mr.. Wolf to have
q special interest In the asylum of which
he Is an honorary director. But all this is
a very secondary matter. The point made
was this, that Mr.. Wolf. as chairman Of a
subcommittee Of the board Of charities, had
presumably not only voted right and left to
reduce appropriations to organizations do
Ing quite as much good as the German Or
phan Asylum, but had recommended that
the Newsboys' and Children's Aid Society
should be cut OF without a dollar, while he
had reported the full appropriation of for
mer years for the German Orphan Asylum
Of which he is an honorary director. But
he says he reported this appropriation to
be given under contract" etc. Very well.
What prevented him reporting an appro-
priation for the Newsboys' Society under a
similar contract? Is the German Orphan
