Mistaken Greatness.

Some one Of the numerous Ameri-
cans who are not burdened with suf-
ficient business cares to engross their
entire attention might make a great
name for himself by inyenting a cure
for the individual who insists upon
writing illegibly, while laboring under
the mistaken impression that such a
habit indicates the truly great and
distinguished man or woman.
In the opinion Of many a good citi-
zen, it does not. With public schools
where the young may learn to write
properly, If they will, and with type
writer's by means OF which all other
persons may transmit their ideas in
satisfactory manner, the fault of bad
chirography is one which can seldom
be excused.
A little comparison of an individual
with his chirography will oftentimes
shed an Illuminating light on his per-
sonal characteristics. Take almost
any man who writes carelessly, and
you have the man who will be much
disturbed If you take up his time, but
who hesitates not at all to waste
yours by compelling you to puzzle
over his scrawls.
The thoughtful man is considerate

The Bucking Auto.

Persons of an inquiring turn of
mind often express wonderment at
the way some of the big automobiles
start with jerk, then balk, buzz a
little, and straightway dash off
again. 1t is all so much like a me-
chanical broncho that they think
there can be no plain explanation OF
it But there is.
When a broncho gets busy it isn't
because he is s'off his feed" On the
contrary it indicates how healthy and
spry he really is. Only it shows his
energy is being exhausted in eccen-
trio lines. In the case Of the buck
ing autos the explanation is just as
plain. The mechanical brute is not
doing just what it ought to do to be
regarded strictly all fait
In this enlightened age of night
schools no one should be in doubt as
to exactly what is going on when the
chauffeur gives the cow-catcher
handle a few rapid whirls and then
leaps to the steering wheel. Why
the otherwise human man acts SO
strangely is fully explained by an
expert in this wise:
First Of all the chauffeur applied the
netapolus to the anterior anagram. It
was necessary to do this in order to

Guard Your Own Streets.

Those citizens of the Northeast
who protested against the narrowing
of Seventh, Eighth and G streets in
that section of the city owe it to
themselves and the Engineering De-
partment of the District government
to read closely the statement made
yesterday by the Engineer Commits
Sioner
Everyone will sympathize with the
desire of the Northeast to keep its
streets wide. Broad avenues and
abundant shade constitute Washing
tons chief beauty; and every neigh
borhood ought to be alert to protect
those two civic treasures.
Yet these are not the only issues
involved in this case The three
streets mentioned vary in distances
as short as five squares. Thus at
its intersection with First street, G
street is thirty feet wide At Fifth
1t is thirty-two feet wide. And a lit
tie farther along it is thirty-five feet
wide. Heavy traffic on that road is
not expected. A width of thirty feet
has proven equal to all such de-
mands- In the expert judgment of
the Engineer Commissioner, that
width is not too narrow for appear
ance's sake. 1t is pointed out also that
changing the curb will foster the
growth of the trees along all these
streets. Under such circumstances the
judgment Of the authorities in these
three cases-eXceptional though it
isis probably wise.
Less than forty feet is, neverthe-
less, narrow street for Washington.
Neither economy nor anything else,
save such a combination of circum-
stances as in these Northeast streets,
should persuade the Commissioners
to reduce the width of any thorough
fare below forty feet They must be
on the lookout to avoid this. No
doubt they are. But the people
themselves are the best guardians
and the ultimate responsibility rests
with them

PshaW on Divorce.

Georee Bernard Shaw has now I'M
dertaken to pervert the divorce ques-

Not long ago he was preaching a
farrago of stuff with an occasional
word of truth mixed in on the gen.

lions on the beating of children by

mother was ever to strike the child
until thoroughly angry. The injury
to the child was in Mr. Shaw's twist

deceit Of those parents who strike
through Impotence and pretend to
do SO for the youngsters good.
