One of the reasons why pupils have left
the Eastern for the Central school, II is
said is that there Is lack of cross-town
street car service on Capitol Hill. Pupils
living in the northeastern section have pre-
ferred to ride westward and then north
ward almost to the Centraps doors rather
than walk across the hill to the Eastern
1t Is stated that majority of the pupils
who have shifted thus from the Eastern to
the Central use the H street, Columbia.

ords show that the percentage Of pupils in
the Business School from the eastern sec
ton OF the city is greater than from any
other section.
All these facts serve to show that there
Is no ground for the complaint that the per-
sonality of the principal of the Eastern Is
accountable for the falling off In the at
tendance at that institution The causes
lie beyond. They are the result OF new
evolution in the high schools of the Dis
trict. and they cali for remedies to prevent
a new congestion and a wasting of the en-
ergies Of the teachers and to insure a full
use of the equipment of the school system.
The geographical boundaries of the Gen.
trail Eastern and and Western high school
districts should be defined and with rare
exceptions. enforced, to the end of giving
each school its own radius of usefulness.
Transfers should be guarded to prevent a
useless shifting of the school population.
The board of education should specifically
seek the establishment of street car serv-
ice on Capitol Hill which will give the chill
dren of the eastern half of the city access
to the school built for them. And, further
more. these branch academic schools should
be regarded parts of a single system,
separated for public convenience and for
better school administration and not as
rivals for patronage.

M. Whites Diplomacy.

The authorized Interview with NJ. White.
which appears in print today. is the delv-
erance of an experienced man of affairs
who realizes that he has a most difficult
task on hand. 1t Is good thing for his
own az well as for the other side that he
approaches st with frank recognition Of
that fact. jaunty spirit would not ut
the occasion. and a humble one would be
equally a mistake. The Russian states
man therefore adopts tone of dignity ana
reserve. and presents himself as an advo-
cate OF reace within limitations. He Is
coming to consider not terms of open hui
initiation for his country. but such as Will
accord with her and the worlds good. 1t
is all very well as far as 1t goes.
The world. however. Will not be persuaded
to accept this Russian view of the situa-
ton. Outsiders may not be able thoroughly
to appraise Russia and her resources. but
1t is useless to insist that Russia has but
to continue the war to bring Japan in the
end to her knees. Russia has nothing left
on the water worthy of respect. and, so
far as Japan is concerned, she seems almost
as powerless on land. The report that
Linevltch is opposed to peace and is spelling
for a fight reads like a dron midsummer
yarn Little is known of the exact DISPOSE
ton OF the two armies today. but when
they last collided the Japanese easily had
the best OF It. a renewal of activities must
probably result in another Russian defeat.
Japan. 1t is easy to remember never
started for st. Petersburg. The task ste
seemed to set herself was to put end
10 Russian schemes as to Korea. and drive
Russia out Of Manchuria. That task stands
nearly completed. 1t IS completed as to
Korea. and she Is so close TO Hardin and
so strong in the vicinity of Vladivostok
that little remains for her to do to make
herself for the time being mistress of Man
Churia
Peace then, is to be considered with these
facts plain TO everybody. Russia may
claim that she is far from the end of her
resources, and that it Is within her power
to pour men without number into the far
east but she must expect the claim TO be
examined in the light of her performances,
and they discredit 1t absolutely.
NJ White Is a peace envoy. and is coming
To sign convention which will insure
peace.

A Woman's Heroic Deed.

A narrow escape from a shocking tragedy
in this city yesterday afternoon strikngly
Illustrated the fact that one of the first
Impulses OF humanity is to save life. A child
toddled out from It's home to the street and
ran directly in front of an approaching
electric car. The motorman had such brief
warning that he could not check the car in
time to prevent striking the little one. The
mother. an invalid, who was sitting on her
porch. screamed as she the peril of her
child. and this sound attracted the atten-
ton of a young woman who was passing.
Acting upon impulse which it is crafty
ing to believe is instructive even in these
selfish days. she sprang to the rescue of
the youngster. reaching it just an instant
before the fender struck it. Gathering It
in her arms, she swung it out of the reach
of the wheels. but was herself thrown down
and severely hurt. The child was bruised
slightly.
Had it not been for this young womans
sacrificing plunge in front of the car the
child would doubtless have been killed. or
at the least very badly hurt AS it is. the
rescuer is suffering from a possibly disfig-
uring wound. But if scars result they will
be a mark of honor. and all who know the
circumstances will respect them as such
Men and women will stand by and refuse
to help those in danger But these are rare
exceptions. 1t is the rule that there is never
lack of volunteers for hazardous duty
when danger threatens.
Yesterdays accident furnishes one more
warning of the danger of permitting chill
dren access to the streets on which cars
run. In this hot weather It is, of course,
necessary to give the youngsters the great
est possible freedom, but there is a limit
beyond which it is unsafe to go. The chill
dren have no judgment about their street
games, and are prone to dash under the very
noses of horses or close in front of swiftly
moving cars in their play or in nervous
anxiety to get across the street ahead of
the vehicle The least stumble is often
fatal. 1t may be difficult discipline, but it
is worth while trying to train every child to
obey the rule to cross the street behind the
or the wagon, waiting for a clear street
before venturing forth.

A Vacation.

They told him that he needed rest.
He hurried far away
Where DER the oceans foamy crest
The wholesome breezes play.
He shot the chutes. he looped the loop:
He Joined the may dance:
He saw the side show minstrel troupe,
And watched the ponies prance.
He ate hot sausages and things
He ne'er had seen before;
He won a cane by throwing rings
Until his arms were sore.
He walked the boardwalk all day long,
And heard the music play
Where rival organs big and strong
In discord g md away.
He drank long mixtures filed with ice,
Ate Holsters and sardines;
He dallied with the cards and dice
And played the slot machines.
He tried to keep the pace in vain.
He did his level best.
He had to hurry home again
Because he needed rest.

A Criminal Boat-Rocker.

Yesterday The Star called attention to the
water dangers of the midsummer season,
and especially noted the malevoient activ-
ity Of the boat-rocker. Today comes news
of a particularly criminal style of boat
rocking. Three young women were rowing
In the Hudson off a beach where a large
number of people had gathered to spend
the hot day. When they tried to land two
men in bathing suits, strangers to the wo-
men. stepped on board and taking possess
sion of the oars rowed back into the
stream. When some distance out one or
the men stood up and began to rock the
boat violently. causing 1t to ship water.
The women called 10 him to stop and told
him they could not swim. He persisted
fiendishly. however. and soon the boat was
water. The two men swan ashore. leaving
the helpless women struggling in the wafer.
Some men went TO the rescue and with
difficulty managed TO bring them to land.
Then the crowd turned its attention to the
boat-rocker. who had lUitered to see the
rescue of the women. 1t was with diff
Guilty that he was arrested and kept out of
the reach of vengefuI hands. He was final
ly locked up and charged with felOnious as
sault.
None but the most drastic punishment
fits crime OF this kind. The man was In
intent guilty of homicide 1t Is bad enough
when some member of a boating party be-
gins to play pranks with the craft and tips
II over. But this New York case presents
aspects that are peculiarly atrocious.

From the Wilkesbarre Leader.
This is a world of Knockers" isn't It?
Nothing big. broad marvellous or unique

now endeavoring to discredit the Panama
canal. Obstacles are encountered in the
enormous enterprise. and instantly a thou
sand knockers confidently declare that
it never will be built. We told that
the transcontinental railways are more
powerful than the government. No con-
structing engineers can be appointed who
will not be bought off, we are informed.
The knockers are foolish, as most
knockers are. There is no power on the
western hemisphere equal to that of the
government at Washington, which has
pledged itself to the building of that canal
In spite of obstacles and difficulties, and
in spite of knockers" and the foolish
doubts they create, the canal will be built.

Motor Arrests by Wire.
ON the Springfield Republican.

The officials of Sandwich, down on the
cape, have held up sixty automobiles in
fortnight for exceeding the speed limit of
ten miles an hour while passing through the
village. This policy has aroused violent
complaint and the matter was carried to
the Massachusetts highway commission for
redress. Members of the board thereupon
went to Sandwich and investigated They
found that the village authorities had
tachmeut by which the signal Of too great
speed was given. 1t was all found to be in
apple pie order, and very effective. There
fore the Sandwich plan was Endorsed by
Messrs. Parker and McClintock of the high
way commission. and the automobilists will
have to mind their ps and as IL they would
escape a fine.

Good Country Roads.

OF these factors is the rural free mail de-
livery service. Another Is the activity OF
merchants In the country towns, who en-
courage the good roads movement for OBJ

alive cheapness of bodybuilding by I'M

Taken together, all these forces are giving

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
M Metschnikof, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
cyfes look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood-cell- policemen, the bhagoeytes,
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytcs and red blood corpuscles.
IA new broom sweeps clean and in
order to put our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with a new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs-with-
out the use of alcohol, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, a specific for
making rich red blood-for eradicating the
poisons from the blood. In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number and strength-so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds catarrh, and in
ciLient consumption.
"The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life says Dr. K. V. Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo, rthe health
entirely on this blood supply-for the heart
must have pure blood or it will not pump
aud keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine it is. The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain of neuralgia, which is the
aches, cold in the head, catarrh-and many
other things are due to stagnation of the
bloodn

APPRENTICES roR Il YEARS.
UnconscionabIe Training Period In
English Hat Trade.


Among the causes recently adduced
by English champions of labor to &C.
count for the appreciable falling of in
British industrial supremacy is the
cutgrown system of English appren-
ticeships. 1t Is just beginning to be
realized that these antique rules will
have to be modified If the British
workman is to make any material
progress.
AS an illustration, says the Philadel-
phia Record, 1t is reported that in the
hat trade to-day a youth is required to
serve seven years as an apprentice
and then an additional seven years as
an improver before he becomes a
master craftsman. 1t is ridiculous, of
course, to insist on a fourteen years
novitiate before paying a man crafts
mans wages, yet the workmen who
have served this prolonged apprentice
ship are the most insistent for its re-
tention, not that they think 1t is neces-
sary, but they are narrow-minded
enough to believe its curtailment
would threaten them and their trade.
