When A. r. Petersen built and
named the Modern" barber shop, he
meant that It should stand for what
It was called. No patron has missed
a single feature Of the modern ton

he is prepared to discharge his heav
lest ammunition there. This is a Bill
Of the letter he has sent to Chairman
Gallinger urging the passage Of the
measure:
"a great mass and variety OF pham-
Iplets, cards, dodgers, and other ad-
Ivertising matter representing money
loaning concerns, other than national
banks, trust companies, savings banks,
and the like, are distributed over the
District and illustrate the extent TO
which such concerns are being multi

are anonymously conducted. and offer
every conceivable inducement to en-
ticc people 10 borrow money from
them"
Commissioner Macfarland, who is
something of an altruist in municipal
affairs, knows whereof he speaks. He
has delved deeply into this subject Of
illegal moneylending, and his probe
has shown him that some OF these
anonymously conducted" concerns
are so conducted to hide personages
Of some note hereabouts, who would
be made uncomfortably by exposure.

HATS OFF IN CHURCH"
Abnormal Creations The CaEse of
The Present Movement.

New York, Special.-"H off in
church" promises to be the cry TO
women in the near future, and Rev.
Charles b. Jefferson, pastor of the
Broadway Tabernacle, has sounded
the first note of warning in little
publication issued under church
auspices.
In this he says:
"The present bonnet or hat is alb
normally immense. and the discom-
future of worshipers whose vision is
impeded is correspondingly great.
What to do with the women has been
a problem in churches throughout
the country.
"In theatrical and operate circles
1t is counted bad form for n woman
10 sit with her hat on. 1t does not re-
quire the gift of prophecy to say that
the time will come when Christian
women in the church will be equally
corsideratc."
DR.. Jefferson remarked that he
was prepared to join anv concerted
effort among clergymen which might
result i'll removing their hats in
church.-BaltimOre Sun.
Whether the Biblical requirement
that woman have cher head cover
ed' refers to her hair or her hat,
may be a question for the exeeete.
But on the size of the "covcringn
any old layman may freely express
his opinion. If woman's hat is so
big that It eclipses the preacher and
the whole front of the church. it is
time for mere man to register n
Kick. We are not quite ready to adj
voc2tc the eNcommunication of the
woman with the big hat. but our
minds arc made up on the hat itself.
If some way is not found 10 reduce
the size of women's hats. the maga-
zlneS Will soon have new answer
to the question, "Why men do not 90
to church,
If woman must have hat on at
church. why should she not have n
"church hat" that will admit of an
occasional glimpse of the pulpit at
least by the man or woman who sits
behind her7 If her "street hat"
should cover all-out-of-doors. it would
be practically harmless. but she ought
to keep ii out of doors. We believe
we speak for the suffering "brother-
hood of man. when We say that the
men stand ready To put up the

known as the "church hat" The in

No More Smoke.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has be-
gun campaign of education with its
englnemen and firemen. Any compe-
tent fireman knows that bituminous
coal will burn without smoke if the
fire is kept bright and level over the
whole CRATE by the addition Of small
quantities at regular intervals. BY
this method less coal is needed to
keep up steam pressure. The foul
gases are burned, the passengers are
pleased, money is saved, and the COM
pany can afford to develop intelli-
gent supervising officers in order to
reach the men. A spirit will thus be
1ostered among employers that will
make the present Improvement and
reckless firing seem almost criminal
VI course, electric motive power,
were 1T not still in the costly expert
mental stage, would at once dispose
of the smoke question. The electric
locomotives have not yet demonstrate
ed qualities of stability in long-dis-
tance transportation. and the freight
business must for some time to come
be handled by steam locomotives.
Meanwhile the present example of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, since it
will be observed by other railroad
and manufacturing companies, will
work nightly for The clarity of the
nations skies.-New York Times.
