ROBINS STANDS
-
STRONGLY FOR
FAIRGROUNDS

Raymond Robins, the social service
expert of Chicago, talked for an hour
yesterday afternoon to about fifty
prominent men who gathered for the
first of his Institutes in the makai
pavilion, Young Hotel In the course
OF his talk, Mr.. Robins made power
full plea for city Fairgrounds.
Keep your Fairgrounds here intact
and get more before 10 is too late, +"
he said. 81 have heard that Boys
Field is to be cut ups Can that be
stopped 2" =. ~
School Inspector Gibson, who was
in the audience. answered that the
present surveys are for a school that
is to be built at the Field and that
only little Of it will be cut up. j.
Il am glad to hear that" said Mr..
Robins. Ten years from now you
viii have terrific fight to get the
space for Fairgrounds. and one Of the
greatest factors in breaking down the
prejudices Of nationalities is to get
the boys and girls of all nations to-
gether in group play. : - r
Mr.. Robins took up several munich
pal problems. He praised the present
building law here, saying that it has
put an end to the worst features OF
new tenements. But" he added,
you have got to go farther than that.
You must tear down some Of the
present structures thatskeep light and
air from the inmates" &-~
He urged that competent supervfs-
ors be provided for all Fairgrounds,
that no children should be allowed in
the Iwilei district, and that the COM
munity should demonstrate its faith
in good and capable public officials. r
Taking up remedies for civic, evils,
he said that a social survey" or in
vestigation of present conditions,
should be made Systematically and
thoroughly, and that the investiga-
ton should be followed by cooperation
among all citizens and all officials,
and by publicity. He laid great stress
on publicity as desirable for Kidding
cities of their economic and social
evils. Furthermore, he urged that the
best results could not be accomplished
unless the spirit of Christ permeated
all the efforts of the people.

INTERlsLAED DIFFICULTIES

Public sentiment ought to prevent another tie
up Of the inter.island traffic such as happened
during the troubles of some months ago. There
does not appear in this case to be sufficient at
issue to make the territory suffer as it will in
case Of a strike or walkout. Decision as to the
merits Of the case will be reserved until more
has been made public from the standpoint Of the

while it is gratifying to observe that the pro-
posal made by this paper some months ago of an
arbitration clause in the public utilities commits

Among the suggestions for the adoption of the
"recall" here in case the new city charter plan
goes through is that the territorial grand jury
be given power to initiate recall proceedings.
Under this plan the grand jury would be empow,
cred to consider the alleged shortcomings of a
city official and if it found sstrue bill using
the term in figuratiye sense, of course against
him, the jury could thereupon set the recall ma.
chinery in motion. Theplan has both merits and
defects and might not be workable under grand
jury procedure As suggestion, however, it de
serves consideration.

Young Mabel had a habit when
soup was served at the table of
mushing her crackers or bread in it
until it was a great mess. Her moth
er made many efforts to have her
correct this strictly primeval habit.
One day there was to be company
at the table, and the mother said:
snow, Mabel, Mrs. Brown is to
dine with us tonight. and | want
you to act at the table just as nicely
rs she does. Please don't 'mush'
your soup"
Mabel promised faithfully to fol-
low the example set by Mrs. Brown,
and the dinner opened with every
promise of a fine time. However,
Mabel was using a pair Of very sharp
eyes on Mrs. Brown and in an in
slant blurted forth at the top of her
voice:

WORRY IS USELESS.
II Does No Good and Doesn't Get Yol
Anything or Anywhere.

The worries of today are the joke
of tomorrow. Look over your pas
life. What are the incidents tina
you find funny now? Every one o.
them was a worry at the time i
happened. You laugh as you lool
back at past worries. Well, WHY
not laugh at the worries of today
and tomorrow as we'll?
Worry doesn't get you anything
or anywhere. There's no use worry.
ing about things that are past
Whatever has happened is right OF
it would not have happened. The
whole great universe is run in har-
mony. Don't be conceited enough
to suppose that anything you have
done is out of harmony with the
universe. Ii it was the whole world
would soon get out of kilter.
There's no use worrying, either,
about what's going to happen. No
body knows that. Remember, too,
the worst never happens. And why
worry now? You either can help or
can't help what you are worrying
about. If you can help it, go ahead
and do it and stop worrying. If you
can't help it, what good does worry
ing do?
"But," you say, 81 just can't help
worrying" How absurd, OF course
you can. Try this plan: Sit down
calmly and ask yourself what is the
very worst result that can come
from your present trouble. Look
it in the face boldly. Square your
shoulders and say to yourself: "Well,
if that's all. | can face that. Lots
of worse things have happened to
millions of other people and they
have survived. | guess | can"
Most worries are over mere trifes.
Probably George Washington's wife
used to worry when he got home
late for dinner, but what difference
does it make to either of them now?
Get a worry book. Put down in it
today everything that worries you.
Look at it a week from today. How
many of the things you are worry
ing about will happen? The longer
you keep a worry book the shorter
will grow the entries.-American
Magazine.

LIGHTS OF THE B0WERy.
A Night Glimpse of New York's Great
East Side Artery.

The Bowery finds a wantonly
"mixed company" of lights awaiting
it. They come with simplicity and
treachery, from the moon faced be-
nevolence of the clock over Cooper
Union to the knife blade glitter of
the arc lamps under the elevated
tracks at Chatham square. The
Bowery's cronies have ever been
a strange crew, and so it is with its
lights. Many Of them are far too
good for it, far too bright and
steady. Many are inoffensive loaf
ers along the curbs, and some are
out and out accomplices.
At Chatham square, where its
dominion begins, the very street
lamps convey the disquieting sug-
gestions that they are lying in wait
for some one behind the squat pill
lars of the overhead railway. Close
at hand, around the corner of a
wall, the alien lights of a crooked
Chinese street look asIant upon the
highway. They illuminate festivi-
ties more or less their own, with the
Bowery for an i~ndulgent and much
valued patroness.
A little farther on the glow Of
an honest warmth spreads from a
mission house doorway upon the
bony faces Of men who are hunch-
ing, shufling along in line for a
handful of bread. These are the
ones for whom the Bowery no longer
has employment save in its sullen.
vicious moods. but it feeds them,
perhaps to keep them from annoy
ing it.
Then comes the heated rivalry of
the shop windows, which. for bril-
lance, are veritablc fiery furnaces.
1t seem incredible that suits and
pants" and hats are not consumed
in the blaze which exploits them.
But n night, a long time ago, the
proprietor of an emporium of
fashion made two lights to burn
where only one burned before, and
the challenge was too pointed to be
ignored by his competitors.
And that is what brought the
trooping in upon the Bowery.
Year by year they become brighter
and more numerous. Better build
better men, follow them, and
the crafty old street who sees it all
.elevates its badly painted eyebrows
and reduces the price of whisky to
5 cents a glass.-George Buchanan
Fife in Harpcr's Weekly.

Lucky She Didn't Wake Her.

The following conversation was

came down, down, down again.
Sister-That was your soul going
up to heaven to have all the naughty
things you have done taken away.
Then it came back again to your
body.
Helen latter a moment of
thoughtful silence)-But, oh. sis
ter! S'pos'n' you had Weakened me
while it was up in heaven. what
would ! ever have done without it?

Berlin's War on Noise,

The city Of Berlin must be quite
a paradise for studious people. No
railway engines are allowed to blow
their whistles within the city limits;
hucksters cannot cry their wares;
whistling and calling and singing
in the streets are not countenanced:
a driver with a loose and rafting
vehicle is subjected to a fine, and
piano playing is regulated by the
police. Before a certain hour in the
morning and after a certain hour at
night musicians are not allowed to
play the piano. and ever during the
hours when playing is allowed mere
noisy banging can be stopped by an
observant policeman. The courts
have a large discretion as to fines
for noise making.
