 these the city now has no record what ever, and as the network of these pipes and condUits makes almost a solid mesh at the street intersections, so that one can walk across upon them when the paving Is torn up, this phase of the preparatory work is intricate and daunting. Meanwhile the sub ways of eastern and European cities are being investigated by three ex- perts who will seek to poinE out the mistakes made elsewhere as well as the admirable features. By this re search work Chicago expects to excel New York in subway building an avoid the blunders which already are troubling Manhattan. It is expected that all the pipes and wires now in the streets will be ultimately placed in the subway. the immediate need for which is for the relief of traffic con gestion. The streets down town have become badly oyercrowded and at the present rate of population growth the conditions in ten years will be iutoF erable without an underground system of rapid transit.

The drought in this city, which seems likely to break the local records lOF dry weather for the last thirty years has added enormously to the consumption of water, the increase be- ing about 49,0O0,00O gallons per day. The previous record was 4ST ,000, 900 gallons per day while now the city's pumps are forcing about 36,000, 900 gallons every 24 hours. Facilities fer increasing this amount of water 10 51I. .0G, coo gallons have been completed and several old pumps have been re- paired and put into service. There are inCipient water famiues IT some parts of the city where the pressure is inadequate or the pumping ma chinery has broken The fire depart meuL OverwoTksd. has urged special precautions against fire and the lum- Der yard owners have been ordered to keep their yards and sheds wet down until the drought Is over.

HAY FEVER BRIGADE IS ON
 HE MARCH
Great Procession is Headed Through Chicago for North west.-Windy City's Con- sumption of Soda Water.
lspecial to the Reriew.l }

CHICAGO, Aug. t5.-The hay fever delegates of the middle west are now swarming through Chicago, red-eyed and gum on their annual pilgrim age to regions on the Great Lakes. where they are immune. Each year the procession headed for the invigo- rating air of Lake Superior, Georgian bay and the Temagami, country grows larger. the reason being that fewer of the delegates are made to go away alone. The necessity of the hay fever delegates has become the opportunity for 8 real cutting, the regions Of their immunity having proved so charming to them that now their families and friends insist on going too. The trans formation of the members of the nay fever association is sudden; men from inland towns suddenly turn nautical on one of the great inland seas; they are to be found on all sorts of craft from rowboats to the biggest steam ship or the Great Lakes. the luxurious HuFonic Of the Northern Navigation Company fleet, which the Chicagoans board at Sarnia. The annual onset cf hay fever has caused the exploration of all the 30,000 islands of Georgian bay. that great archipelago of weird and fantastic scenery. The great sa-- isfaction among these islands and the Temagmi region is the air, which is dry and balsamic. One hay fever del egate, whose misery left him imme- diately he entered Georgian bay wrote: The air seems to have lost the last trace Of moisture, and becomes by reason of its dryness so pellucid that every object seems as if seen through a telescope, and the sunlight assumes a splendor not observed in moister climates" The American Medical As sociatiOn has done much to encourage research for the relief of hay fever, and the Dunbar antitoxin has proved a partial success. The misery, medical ly known as 'hyperesthetic rhinitis," Is not wholly ascribed to dust and pollen, the Journal of the association recently having said that the three causes were nervous susceptibility, in cluding predisposition to gout and abnormal conditions of the nasal organs, and the irritation caused by dust or pollen. The most effective remedy yet found is a change OI air. Light clothing and light food are recommended.

in the irrigated west. and is making
 rapid progress in the humid east. Water, not land, is the primary value in the western country and it's con serYation and use to irrigate land is the first condition of prosperity. The use of our streams for irrigation and for domestic and manufacturing uses is comparatively well developed. Their use for power is less developed while their use for transportation has only
 begun. The conservation of the fn- land waterways of the United States for these great purposes constitutes, perhaps, the greatest single task which now confronts the nation. The maintenance and increase of agricul. ture, the supply of clear water for domestic and manufacturing use, the development of electrical power, trans portation, and lighting, and the crea- ton of system of inland transDor- tation by water whereby to regulate freight rates by rail and to move the bulSier commodities cheaply from place to place, is a task upon whose successful accomplishment the future of the nation depends in a peculiar degree.
 The Inland Waterways Commis- sion, recently appointed by the pres ident, stands for comprehensive plan for the development Of the waterways of the nation. It believes in con crete policy on the part of the general government toward the water high ways of the nation and is working en- Enthusiastically with the National Rivers and harbors Congress to bring about such 8 condition.
 / This question of internal waterway improvement is in a sense political. It is a general movement on the part of the American people for rational use of one of natures greatest pow CTS and its conservation.
 After an extensive tour of the country, made for the purpose of ex- amining into both water needs and torestPation I can say upon my re- turn to Washington that I am greatly encouraged in the progress that has been made for waterway development in the past few years, for I regard both forest and water conservation as among the very greatest problems we have before us as a people"

Over s100,000 nas been recently lost in Chicago by the race track book makers who attempted to make books" on baseball. For one in the history of gambling the "bokies' were beaten at their own game-the base ball lovers knew the game too well for them. It took just four weeks for them to learn that baseball would not lend itself to ethe tiger" they lost from Sl 900 to S15,000 each. Book makers, with racing stopped, were growing fat and seedy until the base ball field allured nine of them, vet erans of many hazards. A unique sys- tenn of giving odds to the betting fans" was compiled and the boards showed a range of selections such as ''S to , against two clubs winning or A to 1 against three clubs winning" :" or ''S to 1 against four clubs winning" Practically no bets were taken on sin gle games, but selections, set forth with odds, were offered. The scheme seemed to present to the fans an op- pOrtunity to bet on eight teams and two leagues with combination of G4 plays for the bookmaker. However, the fans, who knew all the teams and players averages by heart, picked the winning teams. Saloons which took bets from the fans and telephoned them to the clearing house received commission of 50 per cent. Gamblers who have made many a book on the great American derbys. have found that baseball is a straight" game that canHot be "doped."

The records of Chicago's greatest dog war" show that over 2S,0O0 can inc pets and strays have perished so far this year-an increase of 11,000 more than were killed in the entire year of 1907. One day F dogs were despatched by Chicago's special sharp shooting dog detail of policemen, who have been training for their work under the direction of Major Bauder at a gun club grounds. This cam paign against unmuzzled. untagged and unlicensed dogs was an act of necas- sity, for it is estimated that Chicago has a dog population of over 100000 .only 60,000 being properly licensed. Three more patTolmen have been es- signed to duty on the dog catcher's wagons and orders have been issued from headquarters to kill every dog that cannot be captured. This/crusade against the dog pest will be continued, the officials say. until the frost is on the pumpkin. It is expected that last years dog death record will be more than tTebled. So far this year the fatalities from hydrophobia have been few, but large number of people nave been treated at DasteuT institutes, ore having had over 200 cases. Out of this 200 or more there was orIy one case which developed into hydeopho- bia. In several cases no help could be rendered by the treatment and these were immediately sent to nos pitals to wait for death.

FOREST SERVICE
 BUSY BUREAU
 AT WASHINGTON
Clifford PinchOt Is Very Largely Responsible for What Has Been Accomplished for Irri- gation of Desert Lands.
Especial to The Reyiew.l

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15- One of the busiest bureaus at the Ma. tonal Capital these August days is that of the Forest Service whose di- rector is Clifford Pinchot, an enthu- sfast for the conservation of natural resources, tireless worker, and one of the most approachabIe of men holding down a bureau which is be- coming more and more a potential factor in the development of the gov ernment's policies. These are busy days in the Forest Service because many of the rangers throughout the country are coming to Washington to. report to their chief upon their work and to receive instructions for future operations.
 Just imagine q department of the government practically looking after I6s,000.6 .6e0 acres embraced in forest reservation and then get some idea of what this service means. Fifteen hundred rangers are looking after the interests of the general government, so far as the Forest Service is con cerned with nearly 150 supervisors, to whom these rangers report. These rangers receive from $500 to s1400 year, so that the salaries of the rangers alone amounts to a million and half dollars annually and all these men are located in the west with one single exception-the A.k9n- .sas National Forest and the Ozark National Forest, comprising nearly two million acres.
 Clifford Pinchct is very largely respon- sibIe for the Forest Service which is a part of the agricultural department. It was a small and insignificant bureau but a very few years ago.

 Hypocorfstic Names.
 We are all familiar with such so- called nicknames as Win for William. wiimer, etc., Al for Alan, Albert. AL fred, etc. Bert for Albert. Gilbert. Vii. bert, etc, Dan for Daniel. Poll and Moll for Mary, etc. Tn order to under stand better the treatment of the names in this and of some in succeeding pa- pers we must consider the workings of this same tendency in early Teutonic times.
 The early Teutons made little use of simple monothemattc personal. names, |. e.. those composed of but one word. but almost all their personal names were made up of two elements or themes. It is customary to dis. tinguish these as the portotheme or hrst member and the deuterotheme or sec ond member.
 Along with this strongly marked predflection for compound names there was also a general tendency to abrevi- ate these names in familiar usage. These abbreviated forms are technical- iy called hypocoristic. . Greek term signifying endearing or pet names. or else by the borrowed German term Kocenamen. of the same meaning and literally rendered by "cooze-pames.'
 The usual method of abbreviation was to use but one of the members of the compound. This. just as in the instance of our Albert. might be eith- CT the prototherne or the deuterotheme of a modified form of either of these. So the Anglo o-Saxon chronicfer of ss1 has only the prototheme Ceola for Co.,
