The following is taken from The
Enterprise of White Salmon, Washing
ton, Feb. Goth: "Mr. George E. White
was in town so happy that he could
hardly contain himself. He was pass
ing cigars right and left. For the past
ten years Mr.. and Mrs. White have lived
happily. no quarres or misunderstood
ings have come to mar their peace.
They were fairly prosperous and but
one thing was wanting TO make their
happiness complete. No heir or heiress
to the White homestead had put in
appearance. But on Monday night
little kicking, squallng speck of human
ity put in an appearance at the White
home and no wonder George was happy.
They say that lone touch of nature
makes the whole world kin" and this
is touch of nature that makes US all
like Mr.. and Mrs. White better for their
happiness. There is such sickening,
sentiment In so many families
now a-days against those little innocent
visitors that it is actually refreshing
when we hear of one that is really well
Mr.. White has many friends
here who join with the Enterprise in
congratulations.

When a nation reaches a certain
stage in economic progress, if it is
made of the right stun, it begins to
take thought for other things than
money. The movement for civic
beauty in the United States is an in

evolution has been attained in the
United States

New York and London
Items of Greatness In the Two Cities
Where We Excel.

1t is said OF London, in praise of its
greatness, that:
Ir London a child is born every three
minutes and a death is recorded every
FIVE minutes The city contains 700 rail-
hansoms, I4,ooo cabs and 1000 tramcars.
Daily 100000 persons travel on under
ground railways.
Eleven railway bridges span the
Thames. Four thousand postmen de-
liver 100000 letters weekly, walking a
distance equal 20 twice the circumference
of the globe There are 10000 miles of
overhead telegraph wires, and the NUM-
Der of telegraph nessasres received IN
London in a year is o,ooo,ooo.
Ninety million gallons OF water are
consumed daily The railways, ofntli-
buses, cabs and steamboats, convey I,o73,-
100000 passengers daily, and the under
ground railways cog 100000 passengers.
The f18 square miles of London are
lighted by 4o74 electric arc lights, I,IS5
electric incandescent lights, $4,000 in
candescent gas lamps and 1928 fat
flame gas burners.
Well, New York can do something in
the same lines of municipal greatness.
With a smaller number of inhabitants
than London it exceeds it in the volume
of travel, in the amount paid for work
in the volume of work done, and in the
increase in the number of buildings, oc-
cupants of building and of population
Where London consumes oo,oooooC
gallons of water day, New York con-
sumes 5oo,ooo,ooo. Where London has
an area of rI8 square miles, New York
has 326.
In New York every minute two inrni-
grants arrive-rnore than 1,oooooe a
year. Every six minutes child is born
Every seven minutes there is a funeral
Every hour a new building is erected.
New York has more children at its
public schools than London; fewer paup-
ers; lower death rate; fewer unir1hab-
| tied houses; more parks, more bridges
fewer jails, a better distributed street
| traffic and higher standard of health
New York's subway carries more pas
sengers in a day than London's under
ground. The number of crimes OF
violence is twice as large in London as
i'll New York, and the number of ar
rests for drunkenness in London is four
times as great as the number of arrests
for the same cause in New York.
New York has more fires in a year
than London, and they entail greater
loss. 1t has less shipping as port than
London, fewer clerks to the whole popu-
lation employed, but more bosses or en-
ployers.

FADS AND FANCIES.
By MINNA ScHArr CRAWFORD.

Fashions forecast for September
points very emphatically to short sleeves
and indicates that they are in higher ia
vor than ever, not alone for waists and
bodices, but for outer wraps. Advance
irnportations of Paris styles now on view
in the Fifth avenue shops show the most
pronounced fall and winter coats and
wraps with half and three-quarter length
sleeves, and this in spite of all predic-
tions that the fall would see radical
changes in sleeves There's no denying
the youthful effect of the short, pulled
sleeves; they somehow take years off
ones appearance, which helps to explain
why the short sleeve is too well en-
trenched in my lady's favor to be quickly
deposed.
A pleasing innovation is noted in the
return of those becoming lace under
sleeves that were the craze about six
years ago. They are full length and
close fitting, falling over the hands in
long points. like mitts. Made of trans
parent lace, in either black or white,
they are extremely effective, and the wo-
man with thin arms will rejoice at their
return to favor.
Sleeves have somehow grown to be
the determining factor in fashions, the
vital point, the center about which every
thing else revolves. This question of
sleeve style settled, one can draw breath
of relief and go ahead with plans and
preparations for the fall wardrobe.

An officer of a certain regiment was
one morning inspecting his company on

'Doyle, how is it you have not shaved
this morning."
'Oi have, sorr,'' was the reply.
