claim that this implies the right to
 wear their own clothes when and where they please. On the other hand their uniform is kind of public notice of their occupation, which implies in direct discredit to the employer if it IS conspicuously displayed in bar-rooms. These men might take hint from the practice that obtains under normal cir. cumstances among many officers of the army. They have to pay for their own equipment, but it IS a badge of their honorable service, and their loy- atty to their government. Consequent ly, when they choose to visit places where liquor is sold to the general pub. lie, they voluntarily don civilian cloth ing as is their privilege when not or, duty or otherwise ordered. It would seem suggestion in the way of vel fare work that the Pittsburg company do it's share in establishing club rooms that would serve as an at. tractive and wholesome resort for the men.

OfPassing Interest
City and Country Morals

Sociologists are beginning to doubt the once vaunted moral superiority of life in the country village over that in the city. It is the lack of rational amusement that leads to social degen. eracy in small villages. The natural desire for diversion is thwarted. There IS no outlook beyond tho limited social life. This causes in part the drift to the cities of the younger and more en. terprising village youth, leaving behind the less fit and decadent. Hence the deterioration of some villages, observed especially in New England, while towns and cities thrive and grow. In the cities temptations to the untrained or unwary are usually, even though not always, largely segregated Opportun
 ities for evil must be sought conscious ly and wilfully. Again the city house. hold need have no social contacts ex- cept those of it's own choosing. There are good schools for the children and almost numberless places for innocent amusement and recreation. The stir Of surrounding life stimulates the fac. ulties. This is true of large cities as well as small. It is fact that makes bond between farm and town.

The Children of Porto Rico.

One sequence of the temporary fnan- cial difficulties in the administration of Porto Rico that is peculiarly unfor
 tunate is the return 10 the United States of considerable number of school-teachers. The value of their work in uplifting the mental and moral status of the children of the native population is almost beyond description, and is best appreciated by American visitors to the island, who have ob- served at first hand its benefcent eff. feet. It is not alone the English Ian guage and the "three R's' of elenen. tary book learning that these patient redagogues have taught. The end of Spanish misrule found these native ebil-
