OPEN AIR AT NIGHT.

Now that the cool fall autumn
nights are coming on, how many of us
will have the resolution to keep our
windows wide open at night and to
breathe the fresh air, instead of the
poison stuffed atmosphere in closely
shut rooms?
1t is not many years since most of
us believed that windows open an inch
or two at night during cool weather
gave the human organism all that was
necessary for health. And most of
us felt as afraid of a little cool air
on our faces, as of being exposed to
the smallpox.
People who have learned to take
out door air freely into sleeping rooms
every month in the year, find tonic
inspiration better than anything the
druggist can hama out. In this in
doors age, most town dwellers are
shut up in the bad air of offices and
factories during the day time, but they
can get during the night time the good
air that gives outdoor workers their
robust physique. So pile on the GOV.

NEW DUTIES FOR MISS TAFT.
Presidents Daughter May Leave 5ryn
MaWr to be White House Hostess.

Washington, Sept. FIT is prob
able that the winter may bring forth
a bud in the white house to be
leader in the young peoples smart
est set. 1t is understood that Miss
Helen Taft will return here for the
winter and assist her mother in the
social affairs of the season, if not
actually presented" this year. There
is no record of her having re-entered
Bryn Mawr college for the new term.
Miss Taft is far better educated now
than the majority of young women of
her own circle, who consider them
selves quite well equipped mentally
for their duties in life.
Should she remain here for the win
ter she would, of course, be a factor
in social affairs, even though Mrs.
Taft should not consider her a de-
butante. 1t would be difficult to keep
her out of the many affairs, large or
small, which are sure to attract her.
Mrs. Taft has always exercised the
authority of a wise mother, and kept
Miss Taft in the background social
tive returned from the Philippines to
take up the duties of secretary of war.
Usually, when her associates, both
girls and boys, were dancing or out
in theater parties Miss Taft was at
her studies or some wholesome out
door exercise, and she has made far
better use of her time than many of
her friends. Should she spend the
winter at the white house there will
be much gayety there for the young
people, for Mrs. Taft will have de-
cided to permit her only daughter to
enjoy the privilege of being belle to
its fullest capacity, if she does not
return to school.
1t was stated from the family cir
Gle about inauguration time that it
was possible they would allow Miss
Taft to remain out of her college work
for a season or two during her ia
theirs administration, as she was quite
young enough to be able to fall be-
hind her classmates and graduate in
later class.

The remarkable growth OF the city
of Seattle in population and in inn
portance as seaport makes more
harbor facilities necessary. In recog-
milton of this need the last congress
passed as one item of the river and
harbor bill, an appropriation for the
building of lock that will make pos
sible the opening of a canal from the
sound to Lake Washington. This can
al will add Lake Washington to the
present harbor space increasing it
from ten miles of water front to more
than 100. The lock Will be the largest
in existence except in Panama.

The United States geological sur

eminent statistics on the production
of cement, reports an output of Port
land cement of 100000 barrels in
1908, while in 1909 the number of bar.
rels went to 63,O0O,OOO. The use of
this great quantity of new building
material does not bear adversely upon
the sale of other building material, as
was at first feared. Those who fig
ured on an alarming decline in other
industries as this new one advanced
failed to properly estimate the tre-
mendous growth of the country and
the ever increasing demand for ma.
terial of all kinds.

THE TINES EXPLOSION.

The catastrophe that befell the Los
Angeles Times was shocking to a
degree. The fact that the Times and
the labor unions had been at such
bitter warfare for so many years,
lends serious apprehension to the
case. The national union leaders de-
clare their faith in the innocence of
the unions so far as this deed is con-
cerned and well may the public hope
that they are right. At all events,
the matter should be probed to the
very limit and the guilty parties run
to earth and punished. If the ex-
plosion did result from the war in
which the Times and the unions were
engaged, union men in other parts
of the country will feel that a seri-
Gus blow to the cause of organized la
Dor has been struck. If the unions
accused by the Times management
are innocent then they should be
particularly anxious to trace the
cause to its true source, for the sake
of vindication.

THE AUTO RACE NONSENSE.

The appalling list of casualties re-
sulting from the sixth annual Wander
bilt cup race in New York, must COM
mand the sober thought of the ma
ton and must bring about it would
seem, some regulation to prevent a
repetition of this form of useless
slaughter in the name of sport.
What matters it to the general pub
VIC whether car can travel 100 miles
or 1902 miles an hour? This sacri-
flee of human life in auto racing is
about the silliest form of manslaught-
err in existence today, and the quicker
it is done away with, the better.
The car manufacturers are glad to
put their machines in the races for
the advertising they get. But it's a
pretty dear bit of publicity, after all.

American and European bankers
are in a controversy concerning the
refusal of the European bankers to
accept American cotton bills of lading
unless they fear the guaranty of the
exchange buyer, who in most cases is
an American bank. The New York
banks refuse to extend such a guar
anty and so matters are at a deadlock.
Fortunately the pressure to accept the
bills and let business move on is
quite as heavy on the European bank
ers as on ours, since they must have
the raw cotton or stop their mills.
So s4OO,OOOOOO worth of cotton will be
accepted some way without any seri-
Gus delay.

Experience has taught those who
are engaged in an effort to improve
the moral conditions of the laboring
classes in large centers, that men and
boys can be won from what is bad
only by the substitution of what is
good and being educated to appre-
ciate it. There must be equal fun,
equal chance for excitement, rivalry
and risk in this substitute, as is al
ways found in evil. This element is
necessary to feed the Unborn desire
in every human being for enthusiasm
and love of venture.

The present attractive style of nam
ing farms started as a pretty senti-
ment, but really it is more far reach
ing and may even enter the field of
commercialism. The unnamed farm
has nothing to distinguish it from a
hundred and one others, but give it
an appropriate name or euphonious
name such as Woodland Place, Fair
Oaks, Meadow Brook or Rose Diary,
and the farm assumes dignity. Label
the market products with the farm
name and if they are of good quality
the farm will soon have large num-

This present era is a very trying
one for novelists, who do not want
their books to seem out of date in a
short time, to decide how to trans
port their heroes and heroines from
place to place. To have them drawn
by spirited horses is to have them
back numbers. To dash along in a
motor car is the proper thing at the
present moment, but by anticipating
little he could send them sailing
along through space in an airship.
