Getting off the Cars.

If one ayjudge from every day obser
Walton, the proportion of women and
girls who know how to go on cars safely
and to leave them in a similar manner
is certainly small. One thing is certain,
and that is. that there is either a large
amount of ignorance on the subject
among the female population or a large
amount of carelessness. The average
man, whether born and reared in city,
or in remote precinct of the rural dis
tricts, knows how to get on board of a
street Car and how to get off, Lacking
any previous experience whatever, he
will exercise better Judgment and more
caution than the average woman who
rides on street cars every day and who
might be reasonably supposed to know
all that is worth knowing about the
theory and practice Of traction line
travel
There is manifest need that girls
should be instructed along this line
Possibly such instruction should be given
in the schools and will be of much more
practical utility than the more or less
benevolent efforts that the street car com
panies make at intervals to teach their
patrons by means of the familiar illus
trated placards. 1t is really very sim
pie matter, and all the needful informa-
ton may be impaired in a few minutes.
In view of this fact, the amount of popu-
lar ignorance and Indifference to be
noted every day is surprising LOUIS

Baltimore and Vicinity Visited
by a Heavy Hail Storm.

/ Baltimore and the surrounding coun-
/ try was visited on Monday evening last,
( the 18th inst. by one of the worst hail
and wind storms in the history of that
j city. The damages are conservatively
placed at 500, 900, of which $4,000 was
done TO the growing crops. As yet. no
/ loss of life has been reported.
The hail storm area included Airing
ton, Mount Washington, Roland Park,
| Towson, Govans and sections of the
Green Spring Valley, while the city and
other outlying sections were deluged
with rain.
Crops throughout the sections suffered
UNNECESSARILY, while the garden truck
was utterly ruined.
Every dwelling and other structure
with northern and eastern exposures suf-
fered from the hail, thousands of panes
Of glass being riddled.
Many teams were frightened by the
heavy precipitation of hail, and number
OF the animals ran away. One driver
was thrown out and sustained fractured
arm.
Among the heaviest losers are the
owners of hot houses. The deluge of
ice went through the glass roofs of these
places like water through a sieve, not
only wreckiug the structures, but de-
stroying valuable blooms and plants.
Many persons caught in automobiles
in the suburbs, particularly Park
Heights avenue, deserted their machines
and sought places of safety.
Shortly after the hail the fields in the
storm swept area looked as if they had
been visited by a blizzard In some
places the hail was three or four inches
deep.
Hundreds of chickens were killed by
the hailstones, and trains were delayed by
the washouts or by trees falling across
the tracks.
In Baltimore the storm was most Sc
we're in the northern and southern sec
tons, and it was also heavy in the west
ern section. In Howard county the hail
fell with such force that it cut through
the roofs of the buildings. The storm
began at 5 O'Clock in the evening, and
in its most serious phase lasted an hour.
The rain continued intermmittingly dur
ing the evening.

Teaching the Farmer.

Uncle Sam is carrying the crusade of
better crop methods into the places that
are being devastated by the boil weevil
and other enemies of agricultural prosper
ity, including the dry rot of one crop
farming, says Forrest Crissey in Success
Magazine. This crusade aims at the ag-
ricultural salvation of half continent and
is one of the greatest home missionary
projects in operation anywhere in the
world. More than $3.50, 900 was spent in
this work in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1910. To be exact, the United States
government furnished S2o7 900; the Cen
eral Education Board of New York gave
SIo2,ooo, and about $4,000 came from
public spirited men and organizations in
the States where the work is being done.
Counties, cities, boards of trade and pri-
vate individuals have come forward with
contributions sufficient to pay in part or
in full the expense of maintaining an

BLOWS FROM BRYAN.

Harrison made splendid fight for free
wool and he will be useful in future tariff
contests.
Ollie James was a tower of strength to
the free wool side, as he is TO every cause
which he espouses.
Randell reflected credit on Texas by
his advocacy of free wool, He took the
part of the 5000, 600 consumers of his
State instead of the side OF a few wool
growers.
Kitchin will live to see his fight for free
wool vindicated-the resolution that the
protectionsts were forced to accept must
afford him some qualification, even now
Rainey's stand for free wool will be in
dorsed by the sturdy democracy of his
district-he deserves their support.
Possibly the amount which Mr.. Under
