Good material is the sine qua non OF
tasteful dressing, and good material
is expensive. Simplicity in dress Is
thus inevitably costly, and, since 1t Is
Mt the same time the mark of good
taste, women have problem before
them. It seems paradox to say that
simplicity and expense go together,
but 1t is the fact. and 1t may explain
In way the charge Of extravaganza

The construction of this tunnel has not
been hampered by delay consequent upon

here being so much further advanced than

The Teaching Of Health.

From American Medicine.
1t is crying need of modern educational
systems. 1t Is in the tender ages, when
the habits are forming, that the lessons
Of preventive medicine and hygiene will
make the most impression and may be per-
manently inculcated in the routine OF life.
The pedagogic trend has been toward the
didactic teaching of physiology and anato-
my, rather than instruction in applied
physiology and hygiene. Much Of the
anatomy Is a useless burden on the al
ready overtaxed memory Of the pupil, and
the scientific value of some of the physi-
ology. particularly in regard to the effects
of alcoholic beverages and tobacco is
questionable. In many cases calisthenics
have been made such a fetish that class
drills have been substituted for the natu-
raj recreation of play during recess. Much
OF the faulty and unnecessary teaching in
matters of personal hygiene is due to the
dearth of proper literature and lectures
from trained medical authorities. Until
teachers and parents have been properly
instructed. little advance may be expected
in the methods now in vogue in the public
schools.

WILL BE A WINTER RESORT.
Cuban Official Talks Of the Improve
.- ment Of the Island.

Mr.. P D. Buzzi. superintendent of the
engineers laboratory Of Havana, has been
in Washington for the last ten days study
ing the question of pavement, sweeping and
disposition of garbage in general. He has
already visited several cities in the United
States in fulfllment of the mission that he
has of the department of public works of
Cuba. He left today for Charleston and
other cities of the south and west. provided
with letters from the Cuban minister, Mr..
Quesada- and expects to return to the
island in about a month He has gone over
the capital thoroughly and declares that 1t
is one of the cleanest as well as the best
laid out city in America that he has
visited.
Speaking about the condition of Havana.
he says that the excellent condition in
which it was left by the military govern
ment has been continued, and today the
spirit of municipal improvement is stronger
than ever, and that If Americans who left
on the Goth of May last year with the
military government were to walk down
Gulf avenue they would admit that 1t has
become one of the most beautiful prone.
nades of the world. AS far as the sanitary
condition Of the island in general Is con-
cerned Mr.. Buzzi says it has broken all
former records, and that for twenty-five
months there has not been one case of yell
low fever or smallpox in the island. The
sewers are disinfected with free chlorine
water twice a day, and crude coal Oil Is
used in abundance with such good results
that Havana is no place for the mosquito.
All sanitary improvements which were be-
gun by the American government have
been continued, and there is no doubt in
my mind" he says, that Havana will be
soon the greatest winter resort of the con-
tinent, with the new hotels that Sir VIM
Van Horne is about to builu. and with the
Central railroad, which will open the mag
nificent scenery Of the interior and which
will allow a person to go across the island
in less than day Cuoa, which has been
known SO long as the Pearl Of the Antilles,
will now be called the Riviera of the new
world, and the hotels at Havana will well
come thousands of tourists"

AS A MARK OF FAVOR
PRESENTATION OF THE NEW GER
MAN AMBASSADOR.
Formally to Take Place at the Presi-
dents Home Tomorrow Morning
An Unprecedented Occurrence.

All arrangements have been perfected for
the presentation at Sagmore Hill tomorrow
to the President Of Freiherr Speck Won
Sternburg. as German ambassador, sue
ceeding Herr Won Holleben recently retired.
The ambassador will arrive in New York
today from his summer home at The Weirs,
N. H., and will go to Oyster Bay tomorrow
morning. 1t Is expected he will be accom-
panied by Baron Won dem Bussche-H Hidden
hansen. counselor Of the legation and first
secretary of embassy. Col. Thomas w.
Symons, the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, will escort the
ambassador to Sycamore Hill and will act
as master Of cermonies at the presenta-
ton.
The presentation will be made by Mr..
LOOMS. the acting secretary of state. Sec
rotary Loomis and Colonel Symons left
Washington this afternoon for Oyster bay.
Keen interest is manifested in official
circles here at this departure from prece-
dent on the part of the President as a
special mark of favor to the German en-
voy. who for more than ten years has
been his intimate friend. At the State De-
partment 1t is said that this is the first
time an ambassador has ever been received
by the President outside of Washington.
Sir Michael Herbert. the British ambassa-
dor, was presented in the temporary White
I1OuSc III JdChSOh 1AdCC last AdAi, OuS shos
was only because the President was staying
there at the time. while the White House
was closed for repairs. The significance OF
the ceremony at Sycamore Hill tomorrow
lies in the fact that 1t takes place at the
private residence of the President. 1t is
understood the ambassador will take
luncheon and spend the entire afternoon
with the President.
The diplomatic exchanges will not be
made public until tomorrow.
The ambassador and the Baroness Won
Sternburg and her sister will remain at
their summer home probably through Sep
TENDER, returning to Washington in Octo-
Der to reopen the embassy here and then
going to Louisville KY. the old home OF
the baroness. for a visit to her mother.
