Following Mr.. Henry James. Mr.. John

Of American women. Mr.. Barry's sugges-

the August Bazaar:

DUTCH Do NOT EMIGRATE.
Hollands Capital Is Expntrinted
but Not Her Citizens.

Amsterdam. the nominal capital of the
Netherlands and its business and bank
ing center. is fast growing city Of about
10000 inhabitants. Not only is it the
focus OF the commercial interests of the
kingdom in Europe, but it is also the lead
ing entrepot for Dutch East and West
Indian business, so that it is the COM
mercial metropolis not only OF the five
million Dutchmen at home, but also of
the forty millions Of people OF the Dutch
East and West Indies.
The Dutchman is not an emigrating
man. says Vogue. 1t is Dutch capital and
not the individual Dutehman that expa-
tTiates itself. In the United States, ac-
cording 70 the last census, there were only
about l05,000 persons of Dutch birth, and
a competent authority sets down the
number of Netherlanders in the Dutch
East Indies as fewer than 1900 Clearly.
then, Dutch influence has always been vastly
out of proportion TO the number of Hol-
landers that have gone over seas. That
influence which has been so widely felt
and which persists in the East. at the
Cape, In Brazil, the Guianas, and the
United States, has been due rather 20 the

Twenty-Five men expressed themselves
on this subject yesterday in the lobby OF

cussion had been opened by Assistant Sec
retary Arnold
Every one had a different idea of the
definition OF happiness, TIL finally die

ing from the enjoyment Of good. This
left the debaters as much in the dark as
ever. 1t was argued by some that the
conscience was the real means Of letting
a man know whether he is happy or not.
This seemed 10 point toward happiness
lying in what a man possesses. as every
one is supposed TO have a certain amount
Of conscience. though some are more sen

The man holding to this claimed that
If a mans conscience were clear and his
health good, his condition might be termed
happy on account Of the fact that he pos
sessed health and virtue. Another held
that If the man named is healthy and
good, It is because of what he Is, not
that he possesses abstract qualities.
The discussion ended with the arguers

In Harper's Bazaar a very thoughtful
and candid wife Is telling some OF her
troubles. She has a Confession in the
August Bazar. which should make GER

thoughtful. She says. for example:
"A philosopher once spoke OF the
tragedy which ensues when A intensely
desires the company OF B. whereas B
is comparatively Indifferent as to whether
he has AS company or not.
This is a fairly exact statement of the
tragedy which happens during the first
year Of most peoples married life. The

wife. l call this situation a tragedy be-

COMMERCE BODY CRITICISED
Railway Age Finds Fault with Work
of Interstate Commission.
Editorial says Board Contains Too
Many Lawyers and Politicians
and Too Few Railroad Men.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Railway Age. one
Of the leading journals Of its kind in the
country. criucises the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its current issue.
An editorial is said to voice the prevailing
sentiment among the higher railway
officials OF the country. who have been
launching a great deal OF severe criti-
cism against the commission Among
other things. the Age says:
Unfortunately, the commission con
tains too many good lawyers and acute
politicians and too few men who have
any practical knowledge Of the railway
business or who possess the grasp OF
railway economies and the capacity for
statistical work, which distinguishes the
railroad commission Of Wisconsin. The
result Is that many OF. the rulings Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission are not
practical. and that many Of its opinions
betray only a superficial knowledge Of
the important matters with which they
deal
1T is only fair 10 say that IN view Of
the amount OF work the commission has
attempted 10 DO since the Hepburn act
went into effect, it is not surprising that
il has not always done good work. On
The other hand, however, the commission
has gone out OF its way 20 NEEDLE with
a number OF matters which did not seem
20 require attention from 1t. and IL would
have secured better results II it had at
tempted to do less.
The age also sounds a note OF warning
regarding the numerous reductions in
rates which the commission is ordering,
and seems 10 infer that II IS the disposi-
ton Of that body 70 reduce rates when
opportunity presents. 1t is stated that
since April / the commission has pub
lished abstracts OF sixty-six different
schedules, and twenty-fOUr were reduc-
tons in rates. some Of the reductions be-

TeIegraphers Discuss Settlement of

That President Roosevelt will be impor-

prospective strike Of the commercial teleg-
raphers was reported here last night, al
though no one in authority could be in
duced TO admit that any news Of such a
movement had been received n Washing
ton.
Certain officers OF the Washington local
intimated that an effort might be made TO
induce the President TO act as a mediator
in the difficulty. although they were un-
communicative when questioned as 10
whether they had received any adyices on
the subject from the national officers OF
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union OF
America.

sioner Of Labor, whose good Offices were
sought some time ago with a view TO set

HOW ABOUT VACATIONS
Sometimes People Find 1t Is Hard
Work 20 Do Nothing.

ofh 10 DO Nothing.
Almost every self-supporting girl.
writes Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson in
the August number Of the Woman's
Home Companion. when asked what her
idea Of a vacation is. will reply: A time
when I can do just as / please, when
can sleep in the morning. when there are
no hours for me to observe, no rules for
me 70 follow And when you figure with
the average woman wage Garner on fifty
weeks Of work and two Of vacation. you
can hardly pronounce her definition mar
row or selfish. In reality. however, her
vacation means much more than this. and
In the end she Is not satisfied with these
privileges alone. The habit Of labor Is
strong, and after the first reaction. which
comes with release from daily toll. she
finds that the right TO do Just as she
pleases pals upon her. 50 the girl accus-
toned to a daily routine Of Office. store. or
factory duty finds that the condition OF
having nothing TO do becomes irksome.
She is cloyed with the sweetness Of re-
alization. Ninety girls out Of every hun
dred, returning to business after a vaca-
ton, admit honestly that they are glad
10 get back in harness. Once rested.
they missed the regular routine They
could not settle down TO doing nothing
gracefully. Within bounds. this is a nor
NAL, healthy sign; but when the worker
frets every minute she is away from her
post, 1t means that her nerves are sadly
strained, and she is unfit for business. II
you do not feel rested at the end
Of a fortnight's vacation. II you feel
that business is hateful 10 you, and
all buoyancy has left you, then some
thing is wrong Either you need
more rest, more relaxation 10 recuperate
youf nerves. or you are not meant 10 be
a business girl. The real dyed-in-the-
wool business girl hungers for her work
as a born housewife yearns to minister
TO the physical welfare OF her family
