Childish Innocence.

Dear little Constance and Barbara
Bennett, baby children of actor Rich
ard Bennett, were visiting the editors
home.
What beautiful dimples you have,
Barbara" exclaimed one of the ladies
of the house
And little Miss Constance, not in
any feeling of jealous rage or envious
spirit, but one of simple childish Ella
ton, quickly replied:
"Oh! but you ought to see MY
pimples!'

The Value of a Smile.

The thing that goes the farthest
Toward making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the
most
Is just pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from a heart,
That loves its fellow man,
Will drive away the clouds of gloom
And coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too,
with genial kindness blant,
It's worth a million dollars
And doesn't cost cent.

direction of Mrs. Billinger Like a
hen that has just been disturbed from

comprehensably and shooting a mean

so cutting that it actually scattered

his OWN REFTT4TTON.

Nr James Il. Garfield. in q speech at
Cleveland before the progressive Re
publican organization of his state,
praised the Republican insurgents and
then proceeded, unconsciously. of course,
to prove the danger Of following them
and accepting their representations In
"surgent Senators prevented the pas
sage of the Alaska bill, which in its
original form might have turned over
the untold wealth of Alaska TO IA
''vored few" declared Mr.. Garfield, and
by that statement he refuted his own
arguments: for the assertion is incorrect,
and obviously Mr.. Garfield himself has
been misled by the insurgents whom he
holds in such high regard No measure
has been more seriously misrepresented
than the Alaska bill. an administration
measure worthy Of the support Of every
sincere legislator.
Under the Alaska bill in its original
form there would be no more danger of
turning the untold wealth Of Alaska over
TO q favored few than under any other
form of legislation which could be de
vised, whereas there would be far less
danger than there is under the existing
statutes. The theory of the Alaska bill
was that because Of the very large
~ transient population of Alaska-the
fact that most Of the voters of the
district are men who are there for
Il short time. and are bent Oh max

The chief opponent of the bill was

To the Editor of The Tribune.
was surprised to find such a friend Of
Central Park as The Tribune advocating
"Gaynor avenue" between 5th and 6fh
avenues. The sthree long blocks south OF
Central Park serve one good puTpose-they
are tenders for the park DETECTING traffic
from 59th street. If all three were cut in
two traffic would accumulate in 59th street
to such an extent that it would be irnpos-
sible to resist the demand that streets be
cut through the corners of the park It Is
hard enough to save it as it is; no one
knows this better than The Tribune The
greatest objection is that the street ends
u 59th street, while the problem is TO carry
the traffic to Harlem and beyond.
The route described in last Sunday s
Tribune is certainly better. far as it
goes; but it does not so far enough, for it
ends at Seventh avenue, Immediately above
the new Pennsylvania Railroad depOt-a
spot likely to be very crowded in few
years.
A route is needed to carry the downtown
traffic to Harlem and beyond? Well, Broad
way is likely to attract most of the big
business houses in the near future, so the
road certainly ought to be on the West
Side; the best would seem to be u continua-
ton OF Manhattan avenue SOull dS ldF a-
the Museum of Natural History: thence
6iagonally to the middle of Ninth and
Tenth avenues Go avoid both the museum
and the Pennsylvania Railroad depot
thence south to Hudson street. This would
be cheaper and would open up region
likely to be much more crowded than that
"Gaynor avenue" is intended to relieve.
You have often said a new diagonal street
is needed. One that would serve d great
need and relieve at least three crowded
streets would be one running from the sd
street ferries, in front of the. Pennsylvania
Railroad depot (where it could form a
plaza), through Herald Square. i'll front OF
the Grand Central Station (at 10th street,
thence to the river, or. If desired, TO the
Greensboro Bridge. This would connect
the two great stations. the principal ferry
point the steamship lines and possibly the
bridge. Could there be a diagonal street
that would take care of more causes OF
congestion? JOSEPH III. CALDWELL

THE PERILS OF AVIATION.

In less than two Years at least eleven
persons have LOST their lives by falls
from aeroplanes. The list to which the
name of Charles Stewart Rolls has Just
been added began with that of Iieuten-
ant Selfridge in September, 1908. Long
prior to the distressing accident at Fort
Myer and indeed before a motor had
been employed to propel the heavier
than-air machine, Lilienthal met with a
similar fate while engaged in gliding ex-
periments. and Il year or two later his
imitator, Pitcher, WAS killed in exactly
the same way.
1t is not without significance that a
considerable number of falls from or
with aeroplanes have also occurred when
the consequences were not fatal. Cap
tain Cody repeatedly escaped without
injury Hubert Latham merely took a
bath in the English Channel, which he
unsuccessfully tried to cross Young
Harmon fell into tree near Roslyn
without harm to himself ON the other
hand within the last few days the
Baroness de Laroche and Daniel Kinet
have been So severely hurt that for a
time it was unlikely that they would
survive. Whatever the result in the
case of falls which did not cause death.
they certainly illustrate the perils Of
aviation
4 lamentabIe feature of the record is
that many Of the victims possessed a
high reputation for skill and caution.
This is particularly true of Orville
Wright, who broke his leg in the acci-
dent that killed Lieutenant Selfridge; of
Delagrange one of the first Frenchmen
to practise with aeroplanes. and of Rolls.
As the accident st B0urnemouth WAS
due to the bucking of the machine, it
probably could not have been averted by
clever management after the fight had
begun. but the question arises whet her
the fatal weakness could not have been
detected ia advance by thorough inspec-

FINISHING THE FLAG.

4 recent remark by Ex-Governor Muir
ply of New Jersey in an address to the
people of that state contains a reminder
concerning this union Of states and its
national flag which is obvious and yet
which, despite-perhaps because Of-that
fact, may seem surprising to many per-
Sons. It is TO the effect that the Taft
administration and the present Congress
have added the last two stars TO the
American flag in giving statehood to
the only two remaining territories. Ari-
'Zona and New Mexico" An exaggera-
tion of technical accuracy might require
it TO be said that they have provided for
the addition of those two stars, for, of
course, they viii not really be placed III

liz substance the remark is right
We have been SO accustomed TO occa-
sionaI changes in the flags constellation
that it is naturally somewhat startling
to think that the flag is now about to
be finished and thereafter will be sub
iect 10 no further alteration Every
schoolboy can remember some changes,
while men of little past middle life can
recall a score. The impending change.
which viii make the final and complete
number OF stars forty-eight, will be the
twenty-third and will thus put the flag
III the tWenty-fourth form which it has
known since the first model was made ;
or perhaps the twenty ninth if we take
account Of the different methods of ar
ranging the stars. Reckoning, however
only the numerical changes, il is to be
remembered that the flag at first had
thirteen stars and thirteen stripes next
fifteen stars and fifteen stripes; then
twenty stars and thirteen stripes then.
the latter number remaining constant
the former number increased TO twenty
one TO twenty-three, by ones to twenty
six, to twenty-eight, by ones TO thirty
eight, to forty-three. and by ones to the
present forty-six, from which it will
probably rise at one step to the final and
finished forty-eight.
