Another Urges summer Comfort

Another Urges Summer Comfort.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
We have societies for relieving nearly
jected to and advice on most subjects
pertaining to everyday life is freely
offered by the people and associations
interested in aiding people who cannot
apparently always help themselves
There is one subject, however, that
could be dwelt upon at greater length
than 1t has up to the present time, and
that Is the matter Of dress for he
summer months.
There is a lot of room for improve
ment along these lines, and, unfortu-
nately, 1t is the poorer class of people
who seem to be in the greatest need
of this kind of advice.
A great many men seem to have the
idea that the only proper thing to
wear on Sunday or special occasions is
a black suit, a black derby hat and
other accessories in keeping with this
outfit, and such a combination repre-
sents about as uncomfortable and I'M
seasonable attire as could possibly be
adopted.
The right kind of clothing for sum-
mel is so reasonably priced nowadays
that there is hardly my excuse for
the improper and unreasonable COM
binations referred to, and a campaign
along the lines suggested ought to be
productive of some good. G. w.

THE LETTERING OF THE CITY PARKS.

c. IGNS placed in the city parks remind people that the parks
~ belong to them. AS owners they ought to take some pride
in keeping the parks free from litter. At intervals iron
receptacles are placed to receive waste paper and other refuse. But
Notwithstanding these precautions the parks are Uttered with
waste paper and refuse by ignorant or careless and selfish people.
An incident witnessed one day last week illustrated the stupidity
selfish demeanor of many who visit the parks. A welldressed
woman sitting in the shadow of one of the signs and within four
feet of a receptacle. fed herself and her child out of a
lunch-basket and then threw the debris on the wall. Occupants
Of seats read newspapers and then let the sheets be blown over
the lawns. The majority of those who frequent the parks respect
the public property and the appearance of the park, as the contents
of the reeeptacles prove, but the few-and they are all adults
keep the parks untidy by their soyenly habits and disregard of
common decency.

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 80. 1910.


Az HAT with the parks, the band concerts, the chidrens play

summer season is much more endurable than formerly.
rho laroo Marks are of recent establishment, and they have grown
TO be great lungs for the city. The East and West Side parks, also
newly established. furnish opportunities for recreation to two large
" populated sections. The trolley car, with its cheap and pleasant
daily trims to the suburbs, is an unmidgated blessing. And the
trolley system is now sc far extended that excurslontaklng tours
can be made through beautiful scenery. Children confined to the
city need no longer find their play in the streets and aneys' ana
ofder folks enjoy the series of concerts the city government
wisely provides. Then, Newark has its seaside camp for weekly
colonies of children, and it's summer schools that keep thousands
from the streets and pleasantly train their young MINDS. People
not far advanced in years remember when our city had none of these
advantages for the population and when midsummer in town was a
season to be patiently endured.

VOICE CULTURE FOR HELLO GIRLS.

ia VERY user of the phone will certify to the necessity of some
IL system of voice culture for female operators. A company
in Los Angeles has inaugurated a system of training for girls
to give them a clear enunciation when they answer calls. There S a
Iamentable lack of voice culture among women, and many of the
girls employed in central phone Offices are indistinct in their utter
anees, their words being so much blurred that the patron cannot
understand. This involves a loss of time. 1t would be practicable
for the telephone company in every city to put it's hello girls through
a course of voice culture. An ordinary girl could be trained in a
few lessons. and the result would be advantageous both to the com
many and the public.

THE OUTpOURING TO EUROPE.

NTEAMSHIP figures show that about twenty-five thousand more
Americans have gone to Europe since April 10 this year
than during the same period last year. The total book
ings for first and second cabin passengers this season will be up
ward of 10000 passengers. What these people will spend for
travelling, hotel and in other expenses will amount to probably
$200GD0O0 The money will all go to the foreigner. There is
o COMPENSATION in what comes to us from Europe in the steer
age. as every immigrant brings us a certain amount in cash. This
in turn is reduced by the amount that goes out of the country in
the steerage. Thus far this year the steerage outflow is over ninety
thousand passengers. But while there is an enormous net money
loss by the summer hegira to Europe there is a gain in other
respects. We are constantly learning from Europe. In that re-
spect we have a signal advantage of Europe, which sends COMPARE
lively few tourists across the Atlantic, while its emgrants who
come here remain to help develop the country.

A VETO POWER IN DISTRICT school, BOARDS.

q UGGESTIONS in public affairs are always in order, and IL
there is much chaf and little wheat offered no particular
harm is done. The disclosures of the district school board
investigation have brought out the suggestion that the Legislature
give the veto power to the State Board of Education in the expendl
lures of the district boards. It is argued that there would De no
interference with home rule, inasmuch as the State government
contributes TO the support of the district schools by giving the
income of the State riparian fund and part of the income from rail
road taxes. The less said about the railroad taxes the better.
AS thew are assessed on real estate within the municipality they be-
long to the municipality and the State is simply an interloper and
n predatory one. too. The income from the riparian fund is a mere
fraction of the school district revenue. There is absolutely no more
warrant for a State board to interfere in the school expenditures OF
a municipality than in its police and fire expenditures. To place
the veto power over the district school boards in the State board
would also make endless delay and confusion, and the power would
he a dangerous one. The laws relating to the school districts need
reforming. but no law should be passed to take the control of the
school expenditures away from the people who support the schools.

established between Atlantic City and New York. When
the government shall complete the entrance to the large artificial

and the large cities. That is one important phase of the develop
nent going on along the South Jersey coast, a development that is
lining the coast with hotels and resorts, retaining large tracts
from the sea, making an inland waterway from Cape May to Barne-

agriculture. The near future is full of promise for the whole south
en section of New Jersey.

Pier sites undesirable.

~ Tux IdltOf VI Tic fGilAt
According to the reports Of the last
meeting of the Board of Works it Is
quite likely hat the city will in the
near future build a recreation pier in
the vicinity of Blanchard street after
the latter t~horoughfare is extended.
The foot of Lockwood street has also
been suggested. but there seems to be
little choice between the two.
If the city is going to build a pier
Of this kind, which would be a very
desirable move and one that would be
much appreciated by the people in the
lower section of the city, why not Sc
leet a site that does not combine the
objections that could be offered 10
either of the sites proposed, With the
Lister plant adjoining it on n side
and a wide stretch Of marsh land on
the other it would hardly seem like a
happy selection for a recreation pier.
These objections to say nothing OF
the present condition of the Passaic
river, make the sites suggested anything
but desirable for a pleasure spot, and
the Board of Works or whoever is go
ing to pass final judgment on the mat
ter ought to take into consideration
more than the price of the LAND in de-
Gliding on where the proposed pier
should be located.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While l am moi a chronic kicker nor
opposed to public improvements gen.
orally, I can't for the life of me see
why the taxpayers of this city, or. in
fact. the upper section of the State,
should be made to pay one cent toward
the cost of the proposed cea
boulevard. 1t is known that this
boulevard will benefit in the first place
he owners of real estate along the
coast and provide a most expensive
playground for those who live In that
section of the State during the sum-
mer. Many of them are nonresident
and non-taxpayers and they would get
their fun at the expense Of others.
Another thing to be looked at is the
fact that while a certain sum may be
asked for in order to complete the
work, 1t will take much more money
than at first anticipated. This is almost
invariably the case in any building
operation. Even the man who has a
home put up for himself usually finds
that his first estimate a. peer too
low. How much more is this true of
public improvements!
There certain elements that are need
less to detail enter and the original
estimate is far outshadowed by the
actual cost. A. r. B..
