Shock to Benevolent Desire.

From the Chicago Interior.
A benevolent neighbor of ours Is some
times put to 1t to decide whether her good
intentions do not cause quite as much
trouble as they cure. The other day she
was visiting in the tenement of very poor
family. in whose wretched home she found
a litter of puppies better cared for than
the children, and basketful OF kittens alb
sorbing the attention which might have
been profitably devoted to the hopping Of
the floor. While meditating how she could
best offer some gift of money which might be
wisely applied to immediate necessities the
eldest daughter Of the one-room home abb
ruptly asked: Say. Mrs. X, wouldn't you
like to buy two OF these puppies? You can
have them for 81 Glad of an opportunity
to contribute the 81 to household where
it was evidently much needed, she was
opening her purse, when she thought to
inquire: Mary. what will you do with the
"a if ! give it to your? PAY the dog tax
on the rest of the puppies" was the prompt
but unexpected reply. The problem of pow
erty is not how to get money to the hand
of the poor, but how to get it to stay there.

LEATHER BELTS NO MORE.
Baltimore Police Authorized to Omit
Them Hereafter.

The Baltimore police have been notified
that they will no longer be required to wear
leather belts. Marshal Farnan recently re-
ported that the belts injured the uniforms
of the policemen, injured the men and were
useless. Acting upon his report the board
of police commissioners adopted an order
abolishing the belt
The question of discarding the belts was
discussed by the police in this city several
years ago, but most of the policemen IA
vored the retention. They are worn in this
city only when overcoats are worn or when
the men are required to appear in their
dress suits.

Mr.. Macfarland's Statement

In stating his views on the extent to
which the smoke law should be amended
Commissioner mcfarland today said:
1 shall propose to the Commissioners to
recommend to Congress that the smoke
law be made to cover locomotive and other
movable engines of every sort. The null
sance from the engines of this chara cter
has increased of late, in connection with
the large construction works going on as is
shown by complaints from citizens espe-
cfally in Northeast and South Washington
At the time the smoke law was enacted an
effort was made to include locomotive en-
gines in it's provisions but this effort was
defeated. Now that the locomotive and
other movable engines are annoying the
citizens so much more than ever before it
may be possible to extend the law to cover
them. The objection has been made that it
would be impracticable for them to con-
form to the law, but 1 have expert opinion
in support OF the proposition that It
would not be fmpracticable. At all events,
the effort should be made to bring them
within the law
There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing about the status of United States gov
eminent buildings and apartment houses
The smoke law clearly covers both and
needs no amendment in that respect 1t is
true that the Police Court held that II did
not apply to United States government
buildings, but the corporation counsel is
confident that on appeal its decision will be
reversed. Moreover. the President, by
stringent order, has applied the same re-
striction to all government buildings.
which the law sought to do.
Apartment houses have been under OBJ
servation and prosecution, and will con-
tinue to be. The act exempts only build
ings used exclusively for private residences
and while the claim has been made in the
Police Court that this exemption applies to
apartment houses it has not been sus-
tained'
Comment by Commissioner West.
Mr. Vests brief comment upon the health
officers statement is as follows:
Notwithstanding the health officers
lengthy explanation and defense, the fact
remains that all the violators of the smoke
law are not prosecuted. and that prosecu-
lions are at the pleasure of that official
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-12-12
Exceptions Taken.

Continuing, DR.. Woodward says:
Exception must be taken to the state
ment that the enforcement of the smoke
law is or ever has been haphazard and to
the statement that it has been uncertain
or ineffective, except in SO far as uncer-
tainty and ineffectiveness have resulted
from the limited force available for the en-
forcement of the law and the failure of
the Police Court to graduate fines accord
ing to the seriousness of the offense or to
impose increased fines for second or third,
or even for the twentieth, thirtieth or for
tieth offenses. 1t may be safely asserted
that the record of the work being done by
the inspector detailed for the enforcement
or the smoke law is as accurate and as
complete as any similar record kept by any
inspector in the service of the District gov
eminent; that the record is kept systemati-
calIy, and that 1t is nationally and syste-
matically used as the basis of all prosecu-
ton.
In every case, whether prosecution be
instituted or not, action by the health de-
partment is based upon knowledge of the
entire record of the establishment under
consideration, and upon full information as
to attendant circumstances and not upon
knowledge of a limited part of such record
such as was the basis of some at least OF
the Endorsements referred to- There is al
ways room for differences of opinion In any
matter involving the exercise of discretion
and 1t is possible that, even had all records
been examined and all attendant circum-
stances inquired into before such indorse-
ments had been made, there would have
been no material change in the opinions ex-
pressed therein. In some cases, however
it is hardly probable that such would have
been the case.
