what Taft Might Have said.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Sir-If President Taft had added a
postscript to his defensive letter to Con-
gresham Mckinley, saying, IT have
asked for the immediate resignation of
Secretary Ballinger," It would have had
more effect to stem the tide of opposi-
ton to his administration than all the
rest Of his letters put together. The
country is very curious to know what
are the influences behind Mr.. Ballinger
that keep him In an official position for
which by his own testimony he has
shown his unfitness. r. w. ].

who are fortunate enough to be able
to celebrate Labor Day in the

B DAY IN NEWARK.

IT ABOR DAY comes at a period of the year when a holiday II
outing can be most appreciated. The summer heats + al

Labor Day was originally intended more as a labor festival than a
general holiday, but, once established, the people took possession
of it, as they did in the case of Memorial Day, to make 1t a DAY OF
general liberty and recreation. Business and professional men,
bankers, clerks and others appreciate the holiday equally as we'll as
the labor unionist, and all are left to their own devices In its OBJ
servance. To organized labor are given the streets for LABOR pag-
eants and these civic spectacles are not only instructive to the on
lockers, but have a wholesome influence upon labor itself. There is
dignity and even majesty in numbers. Ten or twenty thousand
stalwart and welkdressed wordngmen parading the streets OF New
ark is a spectacle that makes a deep impression on the minds OF be-
holders and paraders alike.

JOSEPH A. WARD.
Complains About Signs On Cars.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t may be somewhat late in the day
to register a "hck" against h way
in which some of the local trolley cars
are "labeled.'" AS l have just returned
from a somewhat extended trip abroad,
however, I may be excused, as the fact
that the signs on Newark's trollews,
as a rule, are confusing, was strongly
impressed upon me. For a time they
even confused me on my return. How
much more confusing must they be to
a total stranger?
For mere we nave a lou ol
cars marked "Roseville." To a stranger
this may mean Roseville avenue
through which no cars are rum, just as
much as the cars marked mt. Pros
pect'' go through Mt. Prospect avenue.
Then, again. we a cars setting forth
the fact that they go to Broad" To a
stranger this means nothing. and plain
Elizabeth gives no information of the
somewhat important throughfare called
Elizabeth avenue. So Springfield" a.
mean Springfield avenue, which Is only
true in part, as it is the Irvington cars
that run through that e and get
nearer to Springfield than any other.
The little list" may be extended to
cover almost every line. and SO add
"verisimilitude to an otherwise bald
and unattractive narrative" as they
say in the "Mikado."
1t would be better not to nave so
many directions about paying as you
enter and to let us have more direc-
ions as to the destination Of the car
before we decide to pay and enter.

lacking Up tho Tired System Without

If efforts 10 keep at work are con
tinued in spite Of fatigue the duality
of the work is poor and the exhaustion
inordinate. Students constantly make
this error and do all sorts of things
to keep awake to burn the midnight
oil when if they would go to bed and
rest they could accomplish far more
in half the time in the morning with
little or no fatigue.
Yet there are times when s~leepiness
and fatigue aus be overcome without
resort to stinulants which fnjure the
Judgment. The tired physician with
a critical case, for instance, must have
his wits about him, and it will aid him
vastly. TO go to an open window every
fifteen or thirty minutes TO take a
dozen or two deep inspirations OF cold
air. His exhaustion In the end viii be
great. but he can make 1t up later.
AS a matter Of fact. surgeons and
others whose work requires the keen
est perceptions instinctively choose the
early morning for their best efforts,
reserving the afternoon for "low
pressure tasks or recreation. That
is. 1t is far better to SO live that We do
not need the stimulus eof these extraor-

POWER HOUSE
F. W. StiIIman Co., of Jersey
City, Will Erect New
Building Here.
LOCAL FIRM TO EXCAVATE

The contract for the foundation
of the new power house of the
Public Service Corporation has been
let to the r. M. Stillman Company,
of Jersey City, and 1t is likely that
ground will be broken the early
part of next week. The property
has been almost entirely cleared of
the old moulds and rubbish that has
covered it for some time past, 30
that everything seems in readiness
for commencement of work on the
large new power generating plant.
The Stillman Company has sub-let a
portion Of tire work, some to con-
tractors in this Vicinity. 1t is prob
able that Graham & McKeon will do
the excavating work.
AS has been told, the structure
will be erected on the n%ortherly
side of Buckingham avenue, be-
tween Hartford street and the
Staten Island sound. 1t Will be of
brick and structural iron construc-
ton and will be 200 feet square. Its
size will be more than adequate for
the present demand of current in
this section, SO that an additional
generator may be installed as de-
'mand necessitates. The station will
be used to supply current for com
mercial power, lighting and opera
ton of trolley cars.
The building will be modern In
every detail and the machinery, for
which contracts have been awarded,
will be of the very latest type. 1t is
estimated that the plant will be in
readiness for operation about the
middle of next year.

ROMANCE OF ARCHITECTURE.
Origin of the Graceful corinthian Style
Of Capital.


Of Capital.
In the winter q young girl had died
In Corinth. Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim
kets and ~piaythfngs which the girl had
loved and brought them to the girls
grave. There she placed them tn a
basket near the monument and put a
large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from oveFturning 1t.
1t happened that. under the basket was
a root of an acanthus plant. When
spring came the acanthus sprouted,
but its shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around it, having the basket in their
midst. Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top of the
basket euried round under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
Kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day. saw this and inn
mediately conceived the notion that the
form of the basket with the plaque
on top of it and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be Il comely heading for columns in
architecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style Of capt
tai. Such. at least, is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told 1t 1900 years
ae.o.

THE CAMERA OBScURA.
From II Was Evolved Our Modern Pho
toeraphic Apparatus.

From 1t Was Evolved OIr Modern Pho
~tosraphic Apparatus.
The camera was invented by In Ital-
ian named Baptista Porta, though 1t
was not at first used for photograph
ing. 1t was in reality merely a dark
room, into which the light was admit
ted through a little round hole in one
side. The rays of light coming from
sbjects outside of this room entered 1t
through this aperture and made a pic
ture on the other side Of the room
glowing in all the beauty and color OF
nature itself, but rather indistinet and
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the sixteenth
century. He improved it later by
placing a glass lens in the aperture
and outside n mirror which received
the rays Of light and reflected them
through the lens so that the image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much brighter. more distinct
and in a natural or erect position. This
was really the first camera obscurn. an
invention which is enjoyed to the pres
ent day.
Now our modern Photographic cam
| era is merely a small camera obseura
IN it's simplest form, carrying a lens at
one end and a ground glass screen at
| the other. 1t is, however. often much
more complicated in its construction.
