Judge Albert Sames telegraphs from Washington that statehood is iE the soup. so far as Arizona is concerned under the proposed cor stitution. It is known that Judge SaTnes met the president when in Washington a short time ago.

GENEROUS OFFER MADE BY
MILK DEALER.

George NJ. Oysters offer to continue
the work of the Straus Laboratories
is worthy the most careful considera-
tion b y the Chamber of Commerce
committee appointed to provide means
by which the poor babies of Washing
ton can be supplied with wholesome
milk. There is no difference of opinion
concerning the necessity of such an
institution as that established here by
Mr.. Straus nearly year ago. Up
ward of 500 babies have been provided
with pure milk and have prospered.
Mr.. Straus' work has borne fruit, both
in direct benefits to the babies and in
shaping public opinion. The only ques-
ton to be determined now is how the
milk shall pc supplied in the future.
Mr.. Oysters proposal seems simple
and decidedly advantageous to the COM

keep his face straight.
But the courts up Gotham way are
rather matter of fact. They have an
awkward way of looking behind. the
oratory and analyzing the extent of
the actual damage, Wherefore, Hen
rietta is asked to give back 81 900 in
change out of that $4,000 bill.
The net result may be to encourage
the promiscuous lovers who have one
sweetheart "at Natchez under the

jaded superlatives of English speech

THE SANE FOURTH" CRU
SADIE BEARS FRUIT.

The largest fireworks company in
the country is about to dissolve like
the most gorgeous of its own fiery
creations. The movement in the in
terest of a sane celebration of the
Fourth of July has grown to such an
extent that the manufacturers of "set
pieces and holiday explosives find
their business no longer profitable. The
wisdom of the crusade which has had
this result is confirmed by some OF the
items in the petition for dissolution,
as it is set forth that claims for dam
ages on account of accidents amount to
many thousand dollars.
The toll of death exacted by fire
works every year had become appall-
ing when this movement for a sane
celebration of the great nat:onal holi
day was set on foot. In a majority of
instances death came in the form of
lockjaw, with all the attendant horrors
of that disease. 1t was high time
that something should be done to sup
press the tetanus germ along with the
explosives, and the whole country be-
came aroused. The fireworks company
presented the public with the last word
in pyrotechnic art. Some of its crea-
tions were nothing short of marvellous.
In a certain sense it is a matter of re-
gret that it has fallen upon evil days.
It's spectacular representations might
have gone on indefinitely with nothing
but good to the general public. But
the blank cartridge, the irecracker,
,and the roman candle had begun to
rank among the deadliest OF deadly
weapons, and in that view of the case
it is gratifying to know that the cru
sade has borne fruit.

BETTER STREETS| IS
CRY IN BR|GHTWOOD
Improvement Association to
Ask Congress for An
Appropriation.

Extensive street improvements are
planned by the Brightwood Park Ciu-
zens Association. Efforts will be made
to obtain for this purpose an appropria-
ton at the extra session of Congress.
At a meeting in Van Horns Hall last
night, H. S. Omohundro, president, and
NJ. ]. White, secretary, were appointed
a committee to confer with Uncle Joe
Cannon and the members of the Illi-
nois delegation with regard to obtaining
an Appropriation for the improvement OF
Illinois avenue.
Other streets included in the general
plan are Kennedy, Hamilton, and Jeffer-
son. The Petworth Citizens Association
will be asked to cooperate in the work
Announcement was made by the COM
mittee on parks and parkingS that prizes
will be offered for the best-kept lawns
in Brightwood this season. The Com
missioners will be asked to plant new
trees and trim those already planted.
Complaints of damage done to trees
by leaking gas mains in Longfellow
street were made. The secretary was
instructed to confer with the Washing
ton Gas Light Company in regard to
remedying the matter.
Appreciation of the action of Post
master Merit in giving to the postmen
a day of rest on Sunday was expressed
by a resolution of thanks.
The Baltimore Terminal Company will
be requested to place a car service on
their new line in Brightwood in the near
future.

munity. He offers to provide milk at
prices within reach of those who need
it, and who can afford to pay for it,
and give it free to those who cannot
afford to pay for it. He further offers
to employ four nurses to go into the
homes of parents whose babies are i'll
and teach the mothers to care for their
infants. The work of nurses in con-
nection with pure milk depots is i'm
portanG. In fact, the success of such
institutions depends more upon their
corps of visiting nurses than upon any
other one element in their operation.
1t ought to be feasible for the Cham
Der of Commerce to create a committee
to assist Mr.. Oyster in the work he so
generously offers to do. The commit
tee might be composed of the District
Health Officer, the secretary of the
Associated Charities, the chairman of
the Chambers special committee that
investigated Washington's milk supply
last fall, "a representative of the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society, and
Mr.. Oyster. Such a committee, acting
as a voluntary supervising board,
would establish public confidence in the
operation of the proposed infants de-
partment of Mr.. Oysters plant. I'm
der it, protection for the poor babies
of Washington would undoubtedly be
guaranteed.
Mild criticism of Mr.. Oysters pro-
posal, on the ground that he makes it
for advertising purposes, has been ut
tered. This is beside the mark. If Mr..
Oyster is willing to provide whole
some milk, under the direction of a
committee of citizens, to children who
could not get it otherwise, he is enti-
tied to any indirect benefits that hap
pen to come in his direction.

BEAUTIFUL YARDS MAKE
GOOD CITIZENS.

Students of political economy fire.
quently point to that great American
institution, baseball, when seeking to
convince us that nothing very frightful
menaces our welfare. They declare
that country which is still able to
get excited over a ten-inning contest
between the Nationals and the Tigers
is in no immediate danger of disin-
tegration.
Similarly, city that can get excited
over flowers and beautiful lawns must
be in a pretty wholesome condition.
That Washington is that kind of a town
was demonstrated Tuesday evening.
when more than 100 members of it's
Chamber of Commerce devoted an hour
TO an illustrated lecture on home gar
dens-and enjoyed the experience. The
man who delivered the lecture was
David Fairchild, who has promoted the
Peoples Garden Association of Wash
ington. 1t is an encouraging sign when
serious minded, hard headed business
men, whose principal function is
to make money, respond so enthus-
iasticaIly to a plea for more considera-
tion of the ethical and artistic side of
life.
But art and ethics aren't the only
advantages to be obtained. As Mr..
Fairchild forcefully explained Tuesday
evening, green grass, flowers, shrubs,
and trees make good citizens. Wash
ington's streets should be avenues of
horticultural beauty. The trees are
provided by nature. Lawns and park
spaces already exist. Our climate will
permit the growth Of plants that could
not live farther North. The only ele-
ment lacking is human initiative. This
we must furnish ourselves.
The Peoples Garden Association and
the Agricultural Department stand
ready to help every person who wants
to beautify his surroundings. This is
the time of year to begin the work
that would make our streets and
lawns beautiful throughout the sum-
mer and fall

THE VAULTING ORATOR
OVERLEAPS HIMSELF.

Mr. Edmund Burke called attention,
quite a number of years ago, to the
fact that the age of chivalry had
passed. Recent events 60 to show that
advocates with a tropical imagination
and the gift of tongues would do well
TO bear in mind the changed condi-
tions. When Dave Decker, the bold,
bad Lochinvar with the fatal gift of
beauty, came out of the West and left
his Henrietta behind with a broken
heart, his troubles had only begun.
They reached a elimination when Hen
rietta sued him for breach of promise
and won a verdict for $4,000 worth of
heart balm. Her lawyer was duly
congratulating himself over the moving
power of his eloquence, but the court
proceedings have taken a turn which
indicate that he prayed for rain and
brought a freshet. On the ground
that he appealed to the passions" of
the jury, the verdict has been reduced
to a paltry $4,000, which, OF course,
will leave the plaintiff slightly in debt
TO the lawyer.
The entire episode is calculated to
put a damper on the soaring oratory
which scales the skies and coquettes
with the comets. The agonizing colors
in which the forensic speaker pictures
wounded and lascerated feelings
usually bear a marked resemblance to
one of the gruesome battle pieces of
verestchagin. First, the foreman wipes
away a furtiye tear, and then the
whole panel breaks down and weeps
over injured innocence and the general
cussedness of man. The court room
furnishes the stage setting for one of
those melodramas in real life which
make the foOtlights pale their inef.

Consideration For
Women of England.
In England, woman demands more;
she worries a little about her welfare;
but in the middle class, and in the aris-
tocracy, at any rate, she receives moro
consideration.
In America, however, her triumph is
complete. She is the hope of a new
race. She is the Coed Fairy. She rep
resents comfort, to say nothing of
charm. 1t is not astonishing that she
should turn this reversal of position .
her own profit, and to the profit Of her
children
We American women, Baron de Con-
stant believes, are to be great factors
in bringing to pass that peace on earth
and good will to men, which is the
dream of the peace lovers of the age.
THE influence of woman is spread
Ing" he says, 'as is that of the COM
mon people. Disregarding few
these are inevitable-the influence of
woman is constantly working secretly
against war, as Jeanne dare years ago
worked openly.
up to the present, the women have
not been able, have not wished or have
not known how, to organize themselves
in their own defense. Far from being
an anarcbjc element in our society, the
influence of woman would prove to be
its safety, as it is now the safety of the
family"
As for the Esperanto language, which
nearly all women interested in the
peace movement have embraced enthu-
siastically, Baron de Constant is skep-
tical Of its value. An accomplished
Iinguist himself, he asks:
why should an Englishman not learn

don't believe Esperanto will ever
amount to much. l don't like to See

cause 1t happens to be easy to learn.
Why DOESN'T he learn the languages?'
And then, without at all meaning to
do so, Baron Estournelle verged upon
eloQuence. For he said:
But as for this question of peace
in which I am most interested, peace
can come from but single victory-that
which We gain over ourselves"

Formaldehyde Used

Convicted of selling milk containing

Fourteenth street northwest, who
claims he assisted in formulating the
pure food laws of Baltimore, was fined
$50 by Judge Mullowny, in Police Court.
Officers of the health department tes-
titled that the sample of milk purchased
from Boerman responded to six differ
ent tests for formaldehyde. BOerman
stated that formaldehyde is often used
as a preservative in the 1acteal fluid,
but said he had no knowledge that the
milk he was selling contained 1t. He
said he often purchased milk from other
dairymen, but could not say of whom
he purchased on the particular day
when the sample was taken.

Navy to Allow Mormon's
Portrait on BattleShip

The Navy Department will not take
any steps to prevent the State of Utah
from presenting a silver service to the
battleship, which bears the name of
that State, on the ground that the SER
vice bears a portrait of Brigham
Young
This statement has been officially
made by the department, which draws
attention to the fact that the same
question arose some time ago when the
state of Mississippi bestowed a silver
service bearing the portrait of Jeffer-
son Davis upon the battleship Mis-
sissippi. The department holds that 1t
cannot control the actions of a State
in such matters.

Not to Support Organ

There will be no official organ of the

advertising patronage of the members,
at least for the present. This is the re-

the subject by the Retail Merchants AS
sociation at its meeting last night.
The opinion was general that the
revenue from advertising in the pro-
posed monthly publication would be in
sufficient to bear it's cost. The propo-
sition was thereupon withdrawn.
The association also considered the
parcels post question, and deferred ac-
ton upon 1t. The Postal Progress

support from the Chamber of Commerce,
