OF course the exposition will have its
midway, in this instance called the
"War PATH" where all kinds of con-
cessionaires will interest and amuse
the curious and mystify the unititiated.
All the usual attractions will be found
here, augmented by such as time and
demand usually produce.
The prevailing style of architecture
is colonial and the various state build

which may be seen the broad expanse
of Hampton Roads and the naval and
in fact all the nautical maneuvers that
will take place there next year. Many
of the exhibit buildings and all of the
State buildings will be permanent
structures and after the exposition will
be converted into hotels, club houses,
residences and the like, so that the
exposition grounds will in reality re-
main as beautiful and historic point
of interest for all time to come.
Ample provision is being made for
the entertainment of all who may visit
the exposition at the Inside Inn on the
grounds, which has accommodations
for about 5000 people. and at the va
rious hotels, summer resorts. private

The object of the jamestown expo
sition is, primarily, to celebrate the
three hundredth anniversary of the
first English settlement on American
soil. which, as history records, occurred
on the thirteenth day of May, 1907, on
a peninsula that juts into the James
River about thirty-five miles from its
mouth The little band Of hardy pio-
neers named the place Fort James,
later James City and finally James
town. That it may be understood why
the Jamestown exposition will be held

stead Of at or on the original site Of

A respected business man killed him
self recently because his wife's affec-
tons had been stolen. What Of it?
Nothing out Of the ordinary, perhaps,
save that the suicide left note to. the

passage of laws making home-wreckers
criminals amenable to a punishment Of
thirty years Imprisonment. There
something to think about in that OF
course, the self-murderer was a cow
ard. But that does not alter the fact
that the man who entered his home and
filched the wife's affections was worse
than a coward. The innocent child who
steals loaf of bread from a bakery to
keep her brothers and sisters from star
walton is criminal in the eyes Of the
law The crawling thing that betrayS

mans home, stealing all that is best and
purest in his life-What is he? Crimi-
nal? In the eyes of the law, no. Scoun-
drel? In the eyes of his fellow crea-
tures-perhaps. A loaf Of bread. A
good woman's love. An innocent child.

The newspaper may be depressing
reading for the young woman whose
ambitions outsoar her conditions. In
single issue she may perhaps see the
picture of a woman who has climbed
several of the worlds highest noun
tains may read of another woman who
has achieved success in musical compO-
sition, and of a third who has written
a popular play; and may read the re-
port of an address by a woman who is
q dairy commissioner, and who is ready
to throw the light of modern science
on the chemical problems of butter and
cheese making. These varied occupa-
tiOns with their rewards may make
the trivial round, the common task"
seem fat and dull to the village girl
whose activities are bounded by her
horizon. She counts over her days
tasks. She has been up betimes to help
with the breakfast, has made an oven
full of delicious pumpkin pies, and has
gone through the weeks mending, and
has ended the day by sitting for two
hours with sick neighbor, and by at
tending a choir rehearsal. But noun
tains and music, drama and chemistry
these are all out of her line. Are they
really better than her cheerful house
wifeliness and kindly service? In the
largest view of life, hers is the nobler
task Music, drama, athletics and even
applied science are the luXuries-the
frills and furbelows of existence.
Wholesome food, household cheer and
neighborliness are tine essentials Of civ
iIiZation Without them we revert to
barbarism. If we must choose between
the woman who composes symphony
and the woman who makes a tempting
lamb stew, the musician shall go. For
tunately. there is room in modern So
ciety for all talents. But as accom-
olishments grow more numerous and al

The Immediate and all-Enportant
question is not why the frequent
wrecks are so destructive, but why
they should be allowed to occur in the
first place. Steel cars, of course, are
better than wooden, but there would
be no complaint of danger from the
latter if the number of wrecks could
be reduced in this country to what
experience abroad shows to be the I'M
avoidable minimum. The mere pros
pect of collision-proof cars in the dim
future will hardly divert public atten-
ton from the task in hand, which is
to prevent the consequences of COLI
sion by abolishing collisions.
