The Girl Who Enjoys "Week-End''
TRIPS

For the girl who takes weekend" trips
during the summer, what she shall wear is
point Of vital interest. Many girl with
whom holidays are rare thinks that this is
the time to don her prettiest hounces and
most perishable raiment. But she is mis-
taken. The well-dressed girl whether her
dress allowance is large or small, gowns
herself simply and on certain established
rules when she travels. If II is house
party or quiet home to which she is going
her travelling frock must be one to sug-
gest the tailor-made. This may be her
summer suit, with a white linen blouse; or
a trim shirt waist suit of pongee or taffetas
With this she wears dull finish oxford
tie. because she cannot indulge in outdoor
sport in patent leather footgear. Her hat
is not ostentatious, either a white sailor
with a black band, white Neapolitan polo
cap with trimmings of black velvet ribbon
and straw pompadour of black, or a hat
to match her shirt waist suit. Silk gloves
to match her frock will serve for travelling
and she will don a pair of white silk ones
before reaching her hostess home.
In her suit case there may be a pretty
wash gown for Sunday wear out of doors,
or a little low-necked thin dress for the
Saturday night dance For the Sunday drive
the thin dress will be charming and cool
whereas the costume in which she travels
will do for the tramp lover the hills and far
away"

In either case it is necessary to remember
that 1t is necessary TO trim high on the new
skirts The folds or rutfles must come well
above the middle Of the skirt in order to get

good deal to do with the hang of full

Tunic overskirts are frequently seen on
afternoon gowns. The style is one most
becoming to slender figures, as 1t amplifies
the skirt draperies and is particularly eff
fective in all of the different crepes, chiffon

turn of olden styles, as do the fabrics which
is one of the noticeable things about our
present styles. The very newest thing-even
in Paris-is the old merino which we used
to wear in our childhood days. 1t comes
now in the most exquisite colors and can
not be excelled as a material for graceful
drapery. 1t falls more softly in folds than

The growing practise OF using probation
officers as supplementary detectives when
the real police have failed to work up salts
factory cases against accused persons is
certain in the long run to defeat the object
for which the probation system was estab-

ia that of the sixteen-year-old girl in Will
liamsburg who was arrested on a definite
charge of petty theft and then became the
object of numerous vague police suspi
cions.
The young woman was taken to police
court where she turned aside all questions
with pert and frivolous answers. Then,

Why should the probationary officer

generations members Of Elihu Roots family
have been either valedictorians. salutatorians
or among the first four or five In the II amilton
College class In which they were graduated.
Oren Root. the first. who afterward became
q famous professor Of mathematics. was the

son of Oren Root. the first. was Elihu Root.
who. not to be outdone by his older brother,
was graduated No. in the class Of 1854. Then
Walstein. youngest Of tho first Orens sons,
entered Hamilton. and he was graduated as
the salutatorian Of his class.
The years went by. and the second Oren
Root had sons to send to college. The eldest.
Edwin Buttrck. now a practising lawyer In
New York. was among the first three or four
men in the class Of 1888. Seven years later
Walstein the second Of that name, and second
son OF tho second Oren. was graduated as the
salutatorian Of the class Of 1890. Four or five
years later came the third Oren. third son Of
the second Oren. and now the vice-president
and general manager of the New York City
Street Railway Company, who took one Of the
first four or five Phi Beta Kappa keys In his
class.
Elihu Root has two sons. both Of whom were
high honor men In their respective GLASSES.
But a high class standing was not all that the
Hamilton Roots strove for and won. With
the possible exception Of Oren, the first, who
concerned himself chiefly with the study Of
mathematics. every one Of the family made
brilliant college record as a writer: most OF
them were fine disclaimers in a college where
speciality is made of oratory. and most of
them were prize debaters.

The Campaign Against Alice.

gogue who sees ruination to the youth

neither represent the true child nor ap-
peal to real interest, but are like con-
fectionery and are not mental food. y
This time the gloomy wight ia STANLEY
HALL, president OF Clark University,
Worcester, Mass. He appeals for "in-
spection and even censorship in the
juvenile departments of public libraries.
He is quite frank in expressing his theory,
and says:
There Is only ono standard tina, ought always
TO be supreme for tho reading Of the young, and
that is moral improvement
President HALL misses the point that
at least half Of true morality consists
in genality, in an emollient view of the
universe, in a perception Of the vein of
sunnness which animates all things,
and that this aspect of life and nature is
best blended into the spirits of growing
children by books of the class that he
stonily condemns. Morals without joy
are not much better than lavishness
without charity.
If the confectionery were taken out Of
life it would be only a poorly, thinly,
coldly moral world. When any one
stands up in meeting and proposes to

ANCIENT AND MODERN GREEK.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-.Str: Permit me
to note certain popular fallacics with respect to
ancient and modern Greek.
l. Greek is a dead language; waste of time to
study Greek; II has no relation TO current affairs.
2. Greek Is a severely learned language: only

believe this Is a fair statement OF the falacics
In question: and perhaps 1t is also fair In great
measure to charge them against scholastic pride
on the side OF caste erudltion.
The pertinent facts are these: First. the con i.
tinulty between ancient and modern Greek has
never been broken. To begin with. Its cultivated
and literary forms have been preserved and arc
still solidiy maintained by the Eastern Church:
upon "Hellenistic" or Alexandrine Greek for a
substantial basis rst in the Septuaglnt version OF
the Old Testament. then In the New Testament
Scriptures, Patrstlc writings, liturgies and &C.
cesiastical manuals without end. In the second
place. there has been the unbroken oral use of
Greek by Crooks. whatever their ethnic and his j.
torc notifications. from the Roman era down to
contemporary Athens. In the third place, contem

ticle of dculty In reading at sight the Septuagint
Gospel and Eastern Church Greek: nor will II puz-
Ele him to scan q modem Greek newspaper with

ciety, and the final decision Of tho United
States Supreme Court, II the case reaches
that tribunal, will be Of far reaching
importance.
In New Jersey a member Of a hat
makers organization whose union
card was taken from him by 7 30 seore-
tary of local" on the ground that he
had not paid his dues, sued to recover
5000 from the organization on the ground
that he had been unjustly deprived OF
the opportunity to earn his living. Inc
case was tried before a jury, the de-
jendant alleging that the court had no
Jurisdiction, because the plaintiff had
not exhausted the remedies open to him
within the organization. The Judge
refused to non-suit the plaintiff on this
plea, and the jury returned verdict
for the sum named Application will
be made to set the verdict aside.
Recently New England corporation
which had recovered verdict against
a labor organization collected a part
Of the sum by attaching the pay and
property of the Individual members Of
the union. Harsh as this procedure was,
it was commended by the residents of
the community in which it was adopted;
and In Massachusetts and New Jersey
the cases were submitted to juries. 1t
Is evident that the unionists have no
monopoly of publio sympathy. Although
a majority Of the members of trades
unions now believe that their best in
terests are served by evading legal re-
sponsibility as far as possible, many
of the more farseeing leaders recognize
that such an attitude Is harmful to the
best interests Of employers and en-
ployed alike. 1t Is significant that no
new statutes were enacted to meet the
cases disposed of by the courts in Massa-
ohusetts and New Jersey. Existing
law was found adequate to defend and
preserve the rights of all. AS unionism
continues its struggle for monopoly in
the labor market similar actions are
likely to be brought. and in time the
unionists may find that they are not
privileged class in the community, but
are subject to the same restraints and
restrictions to which their fellow citi-
zens submit

Is 1t a Sacrifice to Take Great ONCE

There is something vulgar and sordid
about the suggestion which is made, be-
cause of Mr.. ELIHU Root giving up
capital professional income to enter upon
a great Government post Of which the
salaried recompense is relatively small,
that the pay which the people give to
such public servants should not be so
small as to compel them to make Pc
cuniary sacrifice In acceptingit. @Asuc-
cessful lawyer our contemporary the
Ne,o York Times remarks, takes place
in the Cabinet at a salary Of 5000 a
year who can command quite ten times
that yearly income in the practise Of his
profession;" and therefore it concludes
that the Government pay ought to be
increased, on the ground that no man
ought to be called on to make 80 great
money sacrifice.
Undoubtedly the salary ought to be
higher, but it would have to be increased
inordinately if il should be made enough
to recompense man in money for giving
up quite ten times that yearly income.
The salary of the President Of the United
States is only half the salary received by
Mr.. JAMES w. ALEXANDER az president
and the young and bouncing HYDE as
vice. president Of the Equitable society.

Judging by the position OF Swedsn's
banks. that country must be In good oondi-
ton financially. Atthe close Of 1904 Sweden
had sixty-nine banks In good going order.
The aggregate capital was 500 900 900, as
against SIS, 900 900 in 1908 and SIS 900 600 In
1902. In addition the banks held very
large reserves. The trade Of the country
is moving 80 rapidly that quite recently
seven banks issued new shares at from 90
per oent to $50 per cent. premium, thus In
creasing their reserves to the extent of3lS,-
600 900, besides the capital increase. Last
year the average bank dividend was OF
per cent. These figures show that the COM
MERGE and industries Of the country are in
good shape to stand tilt with Norway.
The prices commanded by Swedish Gov
eminent bonds In the principal money mar
kets Of the world show that the State
finances are also in good shape.

Onc-third OF the American Union
Still Public Land.

The preliminary report of the Public
Lands Commission, appointed by the
President in 1903, brings out facts which
will astonsh people who imagine that
the area OF our public lands has been
reduced to comparatively insignificant
proportions.
In truth the public lands Of the United
States still embrace In area nearly one
third of the entire extent Of the Union
and are widely scattered, extending from
the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific and from
Canada to Mexico including every
variety of topography and climate.
Excluding Alaska. there are twenty
three States and three Territories con-
tanning public land of which total area
Of 473, 500, 4O2 acres still remained on June
80, 1904.
1t is true that of these vacant lands
the great bulk throughout the West are
unsuitable for cultivation under present
known conditions of agriculture; they
are 80 situated that they cannot be re-
claimed by irrigation.
1t Is estimated that more than 800, O0O,-
600 acres are public grazing land, an area
approximately equal to one-tifth of the
extent of the United States proper. The
agricultural possibilities of great areas
of the public lands are almost unknown,
but lands which generation or even a
decade ago were supposed to be value
less are now producing large crops
Al A. Al ~
forest lands are among the most valua
bic Of the lands remaining In public
ownership,
