Bronx, the northerly portion of which
was to be built up Lexington avenue
from Forty-seconS. street to provide
the East side wi l. greatly needed
the present public service commits
sion. The failure. to build the line
must be laid at the door of the In
terborough company, which operates
the present subway; for it was not
until last June that the offer of this
company to construct such line
was, received by the commission,
who have the proposal now under
consideration. The travelling public
has no interest in the controversy
as to where lies the responsibility
for the delay; but it is tremendously
Interested in having this line con-
structed with the least possible de-
lay. We are well aware that there
are other rapid transit routes be
fore the commission, for each Of
which their particular sponsors claim
special advantages and the naees-
sity for immediate construction; but
in view of the Importance of the
new Pennsylvania terminal as a dis
tributlng center and Of the pressing
need for another four-traclS line
south from Forty-second street 70
the Battery, we believe it win be
the consensus of opinion that this
line should be one of the first, II
not the very first, to be authorized
and that the contractors and the
public service commission should
join hands in rushing it to an early
completion

TRANSPORTATION IN NEW YORK.
City Terminals Without Traffic Con-
neclio

City Terminals Without Traffic Con-
neciion.
Scientific American The total
lack of a co-ordinated plan Tor shall
we say of co-ordina- ion of effort2)
in the provision of transportation ia
cilities in New York city, is forciDly
brought to the notice of the public
by letter of Vice-President Rea of
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad company
10 Chairman Wilcox of the public
service commission, which draws at
tentfon to the fact that when the
Pennsylvania new station Il Sew
enth avenue and Thirsy-third street,
New York. is opened to the public
in the summer of 10, II win be
without any connection with the rap
id transit system of the city.
The predicament in which the
magnificent new terminal win find
itself has its parallel in the history
of the tn e great bridges across the
East river The williamsburg bridge
stood, for several years after its
competition, completely isolated from
the elevated railroad systems of
Manhattan and Brooklyn; and it was
only recently that the costly e1evat-
ed approaches to, and roadways on,
he bridge we're placed in service.
The great Queeusboro bridge, open
en- few montas ago, is likewise
without any Iap5i transit or elevat-
ed railway connections: and the
present indications are. hat the new
Manhattan suspension bridge, which,
will be completed within a year. viii
find itself in the same predicament
The case OF the new Pennsylvania
terminal win be particularly aggra
waited, since ii viii not only bring
all the express trains of Americas
greatest railroad into the city, bur
it will also serve as the gathering
and distributing center for n large
suburban travel from New Jersey
and from The extensive and popu-
lous residential districts Of Long
Island
Obviously the most satisfactory
plan for placing the Pennsylvania
terminal in immediate touch with the
subway system would be 10 build an
extension OF the existing subway
south from Fortv-second stree,
through Sesenth avenue to the Pat
terry. This is the plan advocated by
the PENNSYLVANIA company: and as
far back as 1905 such route was
laid ont BY the old rapid transit com

SUN AND THE HAIR.

1t is almost impossible to persuade
most girls not to go bareheaded in
the sun. and for this reason the hair
is often injured. The effect OF the
sun on the hair is just about the
same as using too hot curl &c ton.
causing the hair to become crisp and
dry. The constant exposure to the
sun causes the hair to lose the life
and polish that it formerly had.
The only thing to prevent this con-
dition is to wear hat, a large straw
one being the best for the purpose.
These hats are not expensive and
they will save the hair from losing
the nourishing oils and from the
starving of the follicles. For hair
which has already been injured by
the sun It is best to procure some
nour shing tonic. If this Is not done
ght-brown hair win become soiled
yellow in spots, black locks win be-
come rusty. while the natural blonde
tresses take on the color and look of
ash.

LOW FARES MENACE RACE.

London Lancet-The inducement TO
ride rather than walk is temptation
which continually confronts the pub
lie. It is not difficult to see in this a
process which is calculated to lead
to physical and not improbably mem
tai decentralization.
II a man can reach his home by a
tram car or omnibus for a penny, he
is not going to trouble himself TO walk
the distance. He thus loses valua-
Bile and healthful form of exercise be-
cause travelling is so cheap. For
merry he walked to save the relatively
costly fare.
The lift is another example of mod
ern innovation which encourages idle
ness, and which. indeed, threatens to
obsolets. Another example of the de-
moralizng tendency OF cheap transit
is seen in the travelling platform,
which is designed TO save so mucn
walking Everywhere machinery is
devised to save physical effort as
though we possessed no plGans of get
ting about ourselves.
Surely this state of things cannot
count for sturdiness and healthfuI ae-
tiyity in the future generation, but Is
more likely to lead to state of
which must react unfavor-
ably on the individual. 1t is open TO
question whether the human race Is
better off for the number of facilities
which are constantly thrown in It's
way.

FoR sIMPLIFlEn CALENDAR.

When julius Caesar meddled with
the calendar in true imperial ASH
ION ne produced THE Year of Con-
fusion, which was 46 BIC. In that
year We're fifteen months, or AS
days. A great many dates got lost
which have never since been found.
and the trouble came about-ne-
cessitating The Gregorian revision of
the calendar sixteen centuries later
through flirting with the new moon
as with an suspicious influence ac-
cording 10 popular superstition.
The Julian occasion was by no
means the last upon which moon
shine and the meeting is now sug-
gested by San Francisco caIculat-
or, and while the moonshine in this
case is figurative, the PROPOSE ion
looks to an ample and materis on
fusion of days
The idea is to have thirteen months
OF twenty-eight days each, with an
Ammo day annexed to each Deeem-
Der and q "Midanno day" in the ex-
act middle of each leap year.
The originator of this idea makes
seventeen points for his calendar,
inducing the fact that it causes ey-
cry week, month, and year to begin
on Sunday and end on Saturday
Astronomical periods can be figured
and dates set ahead. Existing ami
Iversaries can be readjusted by mu-
tual agreements. But if we do not
hurry UP and set the rev calendar
going with 1911 there viii be no
other good chance till 1922.
Hating to pose among the reac-
tionaries of a strenuous age, we
move, nevertheless, to refer the new
calendar idea to a Joint commission
of simplified spoilers and set-tne-
clock-aheaders. with instructions TO
report not later than the silly sea
son of 1928.
