DISFIGURING BILLBoARDs.

Talking about crusades against street
| ear advertisements what's the matter
! with devoting some attention to the
enormous billboards," asked the. man who
for virtuous warfare and one which
/ VIII result in much good to the people of
\ cities. Did you ever stop to think of
Wnat- vast benefits the vacant lot could
! PEI. 1t is of but little benefit now. ex-
! eeupt to the bin poster The. big, high
board fence is put around it, and ,imme-
dlately. the manywith a placard, the man
WIN bucket OF paint and a brush, the
circus man with his flaring posters, and
the theatrical man with his hikhly co1ored
paper limbs and lingerie-all these and
MANY more are quickly on the scene to
add TO the grotesqueness of the deface-
Behind the billboard the lot is merely
resting place for old cans barrel hoops
boxes. brickbats, rags apd other trash
and so, in a way, we find the vacant lot
becoming public nuisance Now, with
the exercise of a little taste what
change we could make in the situation.
We will tear down the high board fence
We will sweep away the cans boxes, and
all other trash; we. will sod the lot and
give. it good rolling surface. and here
and there we will add a plant of some
tougher kind just to break the fairness of
the scene.
Here we have small landscape right
in the heart of the city. 1t is restful to
the eye. 1t allows the air to circulate
more freely. 1t adds to the comfort,
health and pleasure of the citizen Now,
if | had my way this is exactly what
would happen to all the vacant lots in
the city. | would make the. owners fix
them up, sod them. with pretty grasses,
and L would have ordinances passed
which protect the owners in whatever
work they might do in this way 1t
would be against the law to build
wooden inclosure around vacant lot In
this way l would get rid of the billboard
nuisance. Dreaming, Ell? Well, may
be but it is a good healthy dream, and
the man who will put it into operation
will be q nuhlic henefa ctOr. !" ~

National, But Not Local.

John Kendrick Bangs told the follow
ing story on himself at recent din
ner:
Just after. my unsuccessful cam
paign for mayor of Yonkers a friend
of mine came up to pay me a visit. He
inquired my address of q policeman
and L am glad to say the policeman
did not know me. Ny friend thought
that corner saloon keeper could sure
ly tell him, but I am glad to say that
he also did not know me. A constitI-
ent of mine, happening to oyerhear
rs inquiry, asked:
Bangs, Bangs, do you name that
Bangs that was just after runnin' fur
mayor
My friend told him that / was the
same one. but explained that that was
not Mr. Bangs only attribute. to fame.
He went on to say that Mr.. Bangs had
written several books, ore of which a.
man out in California lad read from
beginning to end, and that large
family in Salt Lake City ha1,read an
other of his works. In fact, he said
Mr.. Bangs reputation might well be
called national.

WV and SOCIETY
Simplicity to Mark
 Opening of Hospit al.

CoCIETY. always interested In charity O will be greatly hS'evidence at the opening of the magnificent new Hillman hospital today. There will be no formal exercises, and the reception will be char acterlzed with the simplicity and ele- gance distinguishing the hospital. The members of the board of lady managers will be present to show the visitors over the hospital. and will be assisted by the superintendent of the hospital and the corps of nurses
 The hospital Is in every sense charity hospital. It has been furnished by indi- viduals and organizations, who have given liberaily to this end, and no hos- pital in the south has more modern fur nishings. Their extreme simplicity may be a revelation to those who have not visited the modern hospitals in the north or who have not informed themselves upon the improvements made within the last few years in hospital equipment. A visit 10 the hospital will be to many in the nature of a liberal education in modern scientific methods for the treat ment of disease and In the facilities pro- vided in the construction of the hospital.
 The patient years through which the charitable women of Birmingham have worked to erect this, great hospital can now be considered In the light of ad- vantage to the i'll and suffering who will be cared for at this institution, since the building represents in construction as well as hospital facilities that complete ness that would not have characterized hospital erected few years ago. As with the large class of buildings erected in the early days of Birmingham which are now being overshadowed and happily be- ing replaced by modern structures, so would a charity hospital have probably been erected with little attention to per- manency. The new hospital, therefore, meets new conditions most satisfactorily and takes conspicuous place among the modern structures that are working an era in Birmingham's progress.
 Archltecturally perfect. 1t can also hold it's own in point of modern equipment with the most approved methods.
 Hundreds will inspect the hospital to- day, which will be opened from 10 o'clock this morning until 10 tonight. Every visitor will leave the hospital with a vision of spotless wards and snowy cots.

Statistics Regarding
 KOman'S Work.

In reference to Woman's widening work the July number of Worlds Work gives some very interesting statistics" It Is evident that in woman's world the old adage where there is a will there is way applies with peculiar emphasis. The various positions outside of the home now being filled by women are enough to jar" the average woman who finds little time to herself from managing the affairs of her household
 Summed up, here is the situation
 woman sat in the Colorado legisla- ture just closed and placed In nomination United States Senator Henry M Teller | She also secured an appropriation of nearly a hundred thousand dollars to es- tablish a home for dependent children. Another woman was a member of the Utah house of representatives and was appointed chairman of the judiciary com mittee The national superintendent of Indian schools Is a Wyoming woman Both Idaho and Colorado have women state superintendents of public instruc- ton. the one in Colorado now serving her third term At the spring election in Colorado, Manitou, Trinidad and Idaho Springs chose women tPeasurers. Aspen and Trinidad women clerks and Sheridan a woman clerk and recorder. A number of women hold these positions in the counties, and more than half of them have women superintendents. Two women were elected justices of the peace in Wyoming, a number having previously held this of fee A woman has just been appointed state dairy commissioner in Colorado. The governor has also made an entire state travelling library commission of women. The Public Improvement Society of Denver, composed of both sexes, has elected woman president.
 Offce-holding is not confined, however to the women of the equal-suffrage states. The receiver in the United States land of flee at The Dalles, Ore, is a woman. The second woman recently has been appoint ed deputy clerk of the United States Cir cult and District courts in Minneapolis, one for the second term of three years as protho-notary of Cumberland county. Pennsylvania, and Holly Springs, Miss, has a woman deputy sheriff. A woman has just been made one of the five trustees to erect and manage the Car negie library at Oneida, N. Y. The daugh- ter of Mayor Johnson of Cleveland is probation officer of the Children's court. woman has been commissioned by the agricultural department at Washington as special field agent of the United States government to establish silk culture in this country on a scientific basis. An other has just completed her sixteenth year as observer for the United States weather bureau at Lancaster Pa.
 There are thousands of others At the recent competitive civil service examina- tons in Washington more than seventy seven per cent of the women passed as against sixty-two per cent of the men,
 A statement just issued by the United States postoffice department shows that fifty-seven women are employed as regu. lar carriers in the rural free delivery service and nine hundred are on the sub stitute list.
