New York City.-Throughout the
Hudson-Fulton celebration there was
constantly in motion one of the great
est machines ever assembled, in re-
gard to Its thousands of human parts
operating in unity, Ia the work OF
the Police Department of New York
City.
This great machine, with its blocks
OF patrolmen, its wagons, its shutting
ambulances, its field hospitals, its
squads OF surgeons and nurses, its
feets OF launches and rowboats, was
practically under the guidance of one
man as chief engineer, First Deputy
Police Commissioner Frederick H
Bugher, who evolved the elaborate
plan under which the millions who
thronged the city's streets were as.
sured the maximum of protection.
Plans were outlined to care for
crowds OF from 100000 to S,OO0,-
600 on the days of the great parades
and so skilfully were the arrange
ments made that this was done with
out reducing the regular police pa
trolls or decreasing the regular re-
serves which were held at all stations
to cope with possible emergencies.
Aside from that. too, 1900 policemen
were available for special duty
throughout the Cerem OlleS.
AS factors in this monster mechan-
Ism twenty-seven police signal sta
lions were established, running in a
chain from the st. George ferry, Rich
mond, through Brooklyn, up Manhat-
tan and the Bronx to the railroad
tower at the junction of Spuyten
Duyvil Creek and the Hudson River.
Each OF these stations had a direct
wire to headquarters, and each was
equipped with an ambulance or a pa
troll wagon provided with surgeon and
stretcher
On the line Of Saturdays naval
parade an auxiliary line of twenty
four telephone stations was installed.
Thirteen separate ambulance stations
lay at intervals between the st.
George ferry, on Staten Island, and
Dyckman street and Broadway. These
were supplemented by fifteen field
hospitals, each fully equipped with
beds and nurses. as we'll as two float
ing hospitals.
Another chain Of twenty patrol
wagons, each in charge of a police
surgeon, was run from Tompkins-
vile to Dyckman street, while a fleet
OF fourteen launches and steamers
patrolled the water front continuous
ly from the Kill Won Kull to Spuyten
Duyvil Creek. Supplementing the
latter there was a fleet of rowboats
covering the water front.
A three-ply thickness Of police au-
thority was planned for the entire
length Of Riverside Drive and its
fringe OF park. Inspectors, each with
SIX to seven captains under them,
and the latter In command OF squads
or from forty to sixty, had charge Of

UNvEIL FULTON TABLET.

Lancaster. Pa. - The Lancaster
County Historical Society unveiled a
memorial to Robert Fulton in the lit
tie hamlet OF Fulton House, the birth
place OF the inventor, twenty miles
south OF this city. Among those in
attendance were Governor Stuart and
Ex-Governor Pennypacker, both of
whom made addresses.
The exercises were continued in the
afternoon, and during the luncheon
hour there was an exhibit Of Fulton
relics consisting of manuscripts,
drafts, mementos, etc.
The stand from which the speakers
delivered their addresses was mod
eled to represent Fulton's first steam
boat, the Clermont. 1t was profusely
decorated with the national colors.

that greet US in friendly fashion. But
best Of all is the smile that is like a

spirit the keen joy of life's worthi-

gay, brave call to arms"
The tonic smile is the one that

better, and if she chooses the right

The Suppression of Dust.

The arrival of the dust season calls
attention to the absolute necessity of
providing for its suppression by some
means, whether temporary or perma-
nent. The actual damage done by the
dust as 1t is mixed with the atmo-
sphere and inhaled into the throats
and lungs Of road users and the
blighting effect on crops when it is
carried over the adjoining Landscape.
combine to enforce the necessity of
making immediate provision for it's
elimination.
1t must be borne in mind that many
able engineers are making a close
study of the condition and of means
Tor Its ultimate rectifcation in a rea-
sona5ly economical manner. At the
same time it must be remembered
that the condition is here. and that
there are ample means, without pro-
hibitiye cost, for its reduction.
, OF course, the original dust-layer
was water. and it is still a good one.
Its artificial application, equally of
course, Is very expensive, owing to its
rapid evaporation and the consequent
hSSSpoily lOI iTeQueuI dppllCdtlOnS.
But there are a number of materials
which, according to the results of
tests, which have been brought to our
attention, may be depended on to lay
the dust and keep 1t laid for greater
or less periods of time. 1t seems.
therefore, that it should be the duty
OF those charged with the care of
public roads to make use, at least for
the time being, of such means as are
at hand. holding themselves always
In readiness to utilize any new dis
cove:ies or inventions which may be
more effective or more economical.
The intelligence OF those in control
OF each situation must determine
whether the use of temporary pallia-
tiVss or presumably permanent pre-
veatatives shall be used. But the
time is at hand when the one thing
or the other-or some other-should
be applied to the roads, that they may
be made comfortable for commercial
aad pleasure traffic.-Good Roads

Violin $50 Years Old.

Mr.. M. L. Willis, piano dealer of
Anderson, S. c., has returned from q
several days trip to Laurens. He
brought back with him a very old
violln-one made in 1865. The violin
has been down in Laurens county, Mr..
Willis says, for the last 100 years,
and the date on the inside of the in
strument attests that it was made
about 25O years ago. The inscription
on the inside is: "Fried. Aug. Grass
verfertigte mach Nicholas fecit in
Cremonen A. 1865" The parts Of
the violin are worn and look to have
been in use for a great many years.
There are several of the famous Gre
monen violins lost, and it is thought
by Mr.. Willis that he has one of the
missing instruments. One of the old
violins was found recently and sold
for the sum of $4,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.
Don't drink coffee.
Don't drink tea.
Don't exercise too much.
These three don'ts constitute the
advice of Miss May Sutton, champion
woman tennis player of the world, to
girls who would go in seriously and
systematically for athletics.

These are the three rules Miss SUIT
ton lays down for girls who desire
merely to be strong and healthy.

peared on courts in San Francisco in

the best OF health, but she gave no in
dication OF having gone back" play
ing her strong game that made her
worlds champion, with her same old
dash and accuracy.
At the close Of the series Miss SUIT
ton was asked to tell what system of
training she had found most effective
and what. in her opinion, is the best
form OF exercise and diet for tho ay-
erage American girl. Inpart she said: {:
while I advocate hearty
eating, 1 cannot say too much
against the use of tea or coffee.
They are nerve desroyers and
no one can be healthy who
persists in their use.
''Too much exercise is as bad az too
little. Walking is the best exercise
there is. Early each morning, after
drinking a glass OF hot water, dressed
In loose clothing, walk for nearly
an hour.

National HIGHWAYS.

The far reaching influence Of the
campaign for good roads started by
the Herald in connection with the At
lanta Journal is shown by the facts
cited in an article published on an
other page this morning.
When the Herald the other day an
nounced the selection of the Piedmont
route as the most available for the
thousand mile national highway be-
tween New York and Atlanta. which
will be ready for the great automobile
endurance contest next autumn, 1t
suggested that the two other routes
explored by its scout car would also
be constructed at some future date.
The enthusiasm for good roads
excited throughout the country, and
especially in the South by the scout
ing and patnfinding trips of the Her.
aid ard Atlanta Journal, Is so intense
that at least one of these rival routes
will probably be put under construc-
tio1 at once. AS related in the article
