not be definitely known whether or not this
function will really ocur. AS was stated in
yesterdays Star. Commissioner West wrote
to Secretary Loeb Immediately after the in
ception of the idea that some public recog-
milton of President Roosevet's remarkable
success in bringing about peace would be
appropriate. A reply. 1t is thought, will
be received on Monday.
Pending the indication of his wishes by
the President little nothing will be done
toward the formation of plans for the event.
Commissioner West. who is the only mem
Der of the Board of Commissioners in the
city, today said that none of the members
OF the Board of Trade or other prominent
local citizens who would most likely be in
terested in the reception had called upon
him, nor did he expect any further develop
mentS before next week.
Il do not know what the general idea
about the proposed reception may be- said
Commissioner West, but | believe the best
plan would be to have no band no speeches
or anything like a formal celebration. If
the people gather along the avenue be-
tween the railroad station and the White
House and show their apprecia ton of the

lean enthusiasm, it will be the best evil

clerks is bad for the ambitious young man. There
is a narrowness to Office work that leaves it's

unvarying routine the minute petty details, the
stunted horizon the dreariness Of indoor work
which is in time to sap the vitality energy,
