Poser for the Doetor-Dr. Lewis
White Allen, the Denver psychologist,
was giving an informal talk on physi-
ology upon the windy, sea-fronting
porch Of an Atlantic City hotel, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Also" he said, 1T has lately been
found that the human body contains
sulphur"
"Sulphur!" exclaimed girl in a blue
and white blazer. How much sulphur
is there, then, in a girls body?"
"Oh," said DR.. Allen, smiling, "the
amount varies"
And is that" asked the girl, why
some Of us make so much better
matches than others?"

A Lost Dog.-While travelling through
the west, a man lost a valuable dog
and Immediately proceeded to the Of
fee of the Hustler's Review in the town
where he was stopping. Entering
abruptly he said to the, editor:
1--WE lost a dog. I'd like to have you
insert this ad for me:
"Seventy-fiv dollars reward for the
return of French bulldog answering
to the name Of Darwin. Last seen on
Turner's Road"
We're just goin' to press" said the
editor, but well manage to hold the
edition for your ad."
After returning to the hotel, the
owner Of the dog decided it might be
best to add to his advertisement. INC
questions asked" He returned to the
Office, to find the place entirely desert
ed, save for a red haired youth who
sat gazing intently out of the window
Where is everybody" he asked.
Gone to hunt tn dawg," replied the
lad, without removing his gaze from
the distant felds.-Lippincott's

and Burnside" upon the columns. In
this way even the entrances to the
cemetery commemorate the memory of
the men who defended the nation in
her need. The Mcclellan gateway was
originally known as the South gate
way, while the present South gate was
originally called the New gate.
The grounds inside are divided into
numerous sections with tastefully ar
ranged avenues, drives and walks sep
arating them. Numerous bronze tab
lets bearing appropriate inscriptions
as we'll as many monuments Of different
kinds erected either to commemorate a
single hero or a group of men con-
nected with some particular event.
There are now inferred in Arlington
1882 known and 1880 unknown dead.
Each grave is marked by marble tab
let erected by the U.lited States gov
ernment unless there is some provision
for marking them by private auspices.
One of the newest additions to be made
to Arlington is the preparation of
section to which has been gathered all
Of the Confederate dead already at Ar
lington and within the District Of Co
'lumbia, for which purpose a special ap-
preparation was made by congress.
This section comprises three and a
half acres which Is appropriately dec
grated with shrubbery and flowers.
while preparations for the erection of
q handsome memorial monument are
now under way.
The government has made provision
for marking graves Of known soldiers
uniformly with headstones Of the best
American white marble thirty inches
long, twelve inches wide and four
inches thick. The portion of the stone
which will be above ground Is sand
rubbed. Each headstone Is inscribed
with the name, rank (if above privately
the company, state and regiment or
other organization to which the de-
ceased belonged, cut in relief within a
sunken shield. No deviation can be

which are prescribed by the secretary
of war. There are thousands Of these
simple headstones in carefully arrang-
ed plots in Arlington, although their
counterparts can be found In each of
the national cemeteries in the country.
1t is interesting to know that the
women who served their country as
nurses are also entitled to be buried in
Arlington and that, If necessary, the
government will provide appropriate
headstones. One Of the most interest
ing monuments is erected upon a small
section devoted to the nurses in the
Spanish war. At present there are only
eight nurses buried upon this plot, but
there is room for other graves as they
are needed.
Each year additions are made to the
monumental wealth Of Arlington. Last
year there was an impressive ceremony
attended by thousands Of people con-
nected with the dedication of a monu-
ment to Major L'Enfant, which was
provided for by a special appropriation
of congress. This is in the form Of a

dent. In the second ideal of park de-
velopment play and recreation become
conscious aims.
Any random effort is sure to be costly
and inadequate. When a park board
sets out to secure a system of play
grounds it is apt to overlook the pres
ence Of school grounds that are large
enough to be used. Likewise the school
board in the purchase of sites is apt to
disregard available places in the parks.
Considering present real estate values,
no city can afford to duplicate sites or
to purchase where property already
owned would do.
The ~desirability Of a study Of condi-
lions and Il plan of work to be done
seem to be reasonably self evident.
The doctor must diagnose his case be-
fore he treats it; the lawyer must gath
er the facts before he makes his brief:
the architect must make his design be.
fore he erects the building, and we
have come to see what a great mistake
our cities have made in laying out their
streets. parks and public buildings
without first having u comprehensive
plan for the city.

CLEANLINESS AND COURTEOUS
TREATMENT ATTRACT TRADE
loafers Drive Away Dollars, So Keep
Your Store Free of Them.

1t Is a general rule that people would
rather trade at an attractive place than
an unattractive one. at a clean place
than a dirty me- at n place where they
are treated courteously and made to
reel at home rather than one where
they are neglected and stared at by
loafers.
Many children. most women and
some men do not feel comfortable in
gong into a store where a miscel-
laneous bunch of idlers is collected.
LOAFERS DRIVE AWAY DOLLARS,
merchant may feel it discourteous
to ask men of this stamp to stay away,
but to allow them to remain is a great
er d1scourtesy to his customers. A
store is not a club or a hotel.
A tactful business man can rid his
place Of idlers without giving offense.
There are ways of doing these things.
n very question Of a few loafers
that congregate where they are a
nuisance is a sore spot in many VIII
lagos. The way to deal with a thing
OF h a sort is the same way that ia
necessary to GET RID OF GRuM-
BLERS AND KNOCKERS, and that
Is to o things, get up an optimistic
spirit, show that you mean business
and make the loafers. the grumblers
and knockers ashamed of themselves.
Then IT they have not the decency to
get out Of the way go at them good
naturedly. but vigorously and without
gloves. Go at them because it is right
and necessary to do so. Handled in
the proper spirit and without ill tenn
per, the whole community will ap-
plaud it, and even the loafers, the
grumblers and the knockers will them
selves have a secret admiration for the
chap who has the manhood to tell them
the truth.
Make the store tidy and presentable.

Joe Tinker. shortstop of the Chicago
Cubs. Thespian in the winter season
and until recently a prospective man

Charles Murphy. president of the
Cubs. for his failure to land the job as
leader of the Reds.
Early in the season." says Tinker.
"a number Of the stockholders of the
Cincinnati club approached me and
asked if l would consider taking the
management Of the team.
Il took the matter up with Frank
Chance, and we both went to see Muir
ply later. Both at that time seemed
willing to let me go. Murphy saying
that he realized that l had given ten
OF the best years Of my life to his
club and that he would not let any
thing stand in my way.
"Soon after this I received another
letter from Hermann. in which he
stated that l had better get busy on
the proposition right away, but every
time l approached Murphy about the
matter he stalled and said he would
see what could be done. Later his
tune changed. and be remarked that
it would be best to wait until the end
Of the season; then he would talk it

child. From a number of studies in
different cities this has been found to
require the playground to be within a
quarter Of a mile of the younger chill
dren and not more than a half mile
from the older children.
One Of the two ideals in the develop
ment Of the park systems of this coun-
try has been to secure landscapes and
scenic effects through the development
of large parks and ~boulevards. These
have been used for the most part by
people with carriages and automobiles
who have the leisure for driving dur
ing the day. They have added greatly
to the beauty Of the city and to the
value of real estate, but have served
in the main the Weather people only.
There is a second idea, which has
come into prominence in the last ten
years, that the purpose of the park is
to furnish recreation and exercise to
the people. This means that the
grounds must be purchased in the
ne%ighborhoods where the people live.
Inasmuch as the chief recreation time
of working people is at night, the
grounds must be open and available
for use during the evening. So far as
these recreation grounds are play
grounds for children, they should be
fenced. should be without shrubbery
and should be we'll lighted at night.
If the park is seeking landscape and
scenic effects it's use as a playground
is merely incidental to it's general pur.
pose. If such a system of parks should
furnish the needed facilities for play to
the children this could be only an acct.
