No matter what the emergency

Recently several persons have been

more care be exercised The major

LAwLEssNEss in WASHINGTON.
caustic Comments of a Neiehbor on
Conditions In the Capital.

Washington, in it's public structures
and private residences, it's hotels and
business buildings, it's parks and boule-
wards, is becoming not only the most
beautiful city in America, but one of
the finest of the worlds capitals, says
the Baltimore Sun. All Americans are
proud of it's growth and it's magnifi-
cence
Therefore it comes to them as a
shock when they learn that women
are not safe on it's broad avenues and
that purse snatching and robbery are
the most common of crimes.
During the last two years the records
show an almost unbelievable number
Of attacks upon women. These range
from assaults and attempted murders
in the suburbs to brutal attacks and
robberies in the very heart Of the
most fashionable residence section.
Most of these offenses are committed
that they have a license to commit
any crime. The daughter of an army
officer was attacked and robbed by
negroes almost at the door of the
British embassy. Judging from the
number of crimes of which they are
the victims, in no city In America are
women so poorly protected as they
are in the nations capital.
What paralyZes the arm of the law?
Why is it that negro hoodlums are al
lnunI IN vi ~
sections and even attack the police
Why is it unsafe for women to go out
on the streets or roads after dark in
the District of Columbia? Is it be-
cause the arm of the law is weakened
by an inefficient police force and
sometimes by absurdly inadequate
punishment when criminals are ar.
raigned in the courts?
Most of the crimes are committed
by negroes, according to the &C
counts, and the criminal negro element
acts as if it could defy the police and
as if it need have little fear of severe
punishment. The attack of large
crowd of negroes on Policeman w. ].
Field when he went to arrest a
negress Is only one of number OF
such attacks. If the laws were rigidly
enforced and disorder suppressed with
q firm hand such contempt of the pc.
lice would be impossible.
The district commissioners and the
police could undoubtedly prevent
Washington from becoming the unhap-
Ply hunting ground of thugs and
thieves if they acted with sufficient
firmness and energy. What is the
matter with the representatives of the
district government? If they cannot
meet the conditions by which they are
confronted and keep in check the law.
less elements which are disgracing
the capital of the country men should
be put in their places who can.

Homemade Barometer

Those who love experimentation
may try the following method of max
ing a cheap barometer, practiced in
France, suggests the Youths Compan-
ion: Take eight grams of pulverized
camphor, four grams of pulverized nj
trate of potassium, two grams of pull
verified nitrate of ammonia, and dis
solve in so grams of alcohol. Put the
whole in a lang, slender bottle closed
at the top with a piece of bladder con-
tanning a pin-hoie to admit the air.
When rain is coming, the solid par
ticles will tend gradually to mount, lit
tie star crystals forming in the liquid,
which otherwise remains clear; If high
winds are approaching, the liquid will
become thick, as if fermenting, while
a film of solid particles forms on the
surface; during fair weather the liquid
