The Rally of a Shadow.

From the New York Sun.
The thanks of millions of downtrodden
men will be paid to William II. even If
the saying attributed to him, "A real man
wears a mustache," was invented for him
by some foe of smoothfacedness. 1t is
not given to all to be as beautiful, for ex-
ample. as the Hon. Josephus Daniels or
eighteenth century swells in engravings
and miniatures. Constrained by fashion.
how many clock stopping phiz that
needs the discreet decoration of a mus
tache appears harsh, Volscian. a buffet to
esthetics, a pain to others and presum-
ably to it's owner.
We speak in no reactionary sense, but
the new freedom from facial shadows is
abused Without regard to real or ideal
men, this American and English smooth
ness is mOnotonous. Even some Latins of
lands where the coiffeur is king have
stripped their lineaments. 1t is not to be
expected that the old times will return
when a mustache was the hope Of in
genuous youth and loves young dream
the cause may be lost in spite of this
brave German rally. 1t is darkly said by
anthropologists that as Triumphant Gym
ocracy goes its relentless way the plumes
that used to fiutter from the new sand
papered mug of Mere Man must wave
and waggle over lovelier lips, already
opened wide to pronounce his doom. 1t is
very like that Real Man must become as
obsolete as centaurs or the Constitution.

THE SUPPLY OF RADIUM.

Helping Out With the Crowding.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

from the Chicago Rec0rd-HeraM.
An observant person who has the mis-
fortune to live in New York writes to one
of the papers of that city to suggest a
means of relief from the crowding on the
sidewalks. He would not drive. the
crowds away and reduce the population
by million or so, but he comes out
strong for rule of the road. 'Step for
ward and keep to the right is the rule.
and he believes that signs bearing this
legend might be very helpful.
A proper humility prevents the asser-
ton of claim by Chicago to the posses
sion of crowds as distressing as those of
New York, but there are certainly more
than people enough to make the naviga-
ton of the sidewalks at the noon hour a
feat of great difficulty and discomfort.
The waste of nervous energy from the
humping, twisting and turning is appal-
ling. Sweet tempers have become sour
because of this trying ordeal. Men ordi-
narily disinclined to profanity have been
driven by the eXigencieS of the case to
express themselves in regrettable lam
guage. In fine, conditions are so trouble
some that the afflicted may be disposed
to applaud any relief project. and there
may be a promise of help in the rule
and the signs.
But few don'ts should be added.
Don't stop to watch the man who is
feeding the dear, delightful doves. Don t
try to educate yourself in the fine art
of building by hanging over the tenn
porary board fence to make useless notes
on the activities Of the eXcavators below.
Don't follow an index finger to the blue
above to discover something that is not
worth discovering or that Is not there.
Don't endeavor to appear as witness
of some little squabble that Is sure to
prove disappointing because 1t Is sire
to stop short of a punch in the nose. By
avoiding all these vain things and stick
ing to the rule you may perhaps be able
to avoid friction if everybody else will do
the same.

AERO ACCIDENTS DECREASE.
Mortality List Diminished, Accord
ing to Foreign Statistics.

NEW YORK, December 2T-The NOR
tally due to aeroplane accidents is de
creasing, according to the foreign stats
tics forwarded here from Paris.
In 1908 five aviators flew LOGO kilome-
tiers and one was killed; in 1909 fifty
aviators accomplished flights of a total
distance of 10000 kilometers and three
aviators were killed in 1870 500 aviators
made flights; the total distance covered
was 100000 kilometers and the number of
deaths was twenty-nine- in 1911. 1,5oo
aviators made flights totaling 100000
kilometers and seventy-eight aviators
were killed; in 1912. $500 aviators flew
over a total distance of 20,090 90 kilo-
meters and 40 aviators were killed
The figures show that there was one
death for every 1,6o0 kilometers covered
in 1908, while in 1912 the mortality had
dropped to one death for every 10000

COMMUNITY BACK YARDS.
Residents on Baltimore Block Will
Take Down Their Fences.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The residents OF the West Baltimore
DOCK who propose to establish a COM
munity park in the rear of their homes
are doing an excellent thing for them
selves and setting a fine example to the
rest OF the city. For several years the
Sun and the Evening Sun have been seek
ing to stimulate interest in undertaking.
OF this general nature, and the window
oox and back-garden contests inaugurated
by the latter and carried on each year
under Its auspices and encoura cement
nave had a marked influence in many
sections of the city The gospel of beauty
ana health which they inculcated. we are
giad TO believe, has had more than tenn
porary effect and has aroused a gen.
erai desire to remove unpleasing features
OF city environment and to substitute for
them others that would prove both attrac-
tive and sanitary.
We are all so much creatures of habi,
that 1t takes long time to abolish even
an admitted nuisance, and the city back
yard. fenced in by a sort of Chinese wall
has maintained its place among US in spite
or Its ugliness and anachronistic char
acter. in the early da, S every city house
had its capacious yard or garden, which
proVioed a certain privacy as well as
PiCoSuiS It's OWNERS. AS our cities
have developed we have tried to main
tain the old theory of a private domain
attached to each residence. with the result
that we have created in most cases little
Dox OF place. not large enough for a
good-Sized pig-pen, and, very often, from
the uses to which it has been put, not
much cleaner or more attractive.
1t would be bad enough if these places
were only ugly. but they are not infre-
Quently SO Ill kept as to be dangerous to
health, and the semi-privacy which they
provide tempts the careless and the untid
to make them partly conceal many house
hold sins. Publicity in back yards would
have the same effect that publicity has In
everything else-it would put everybody
on his or her good behavior and would
stimulate everybody as a matter of pride
to make the best possible showing
The movement to which we have re-
ferred in the western section of the city
goes further, however, than the mere re
moval of the unsightly back and side
fences and the individual Identification OF
each particular little plot of ground This
has been done in several parts of the
town with great advantage to these To-
calit1es from an esthetic and sanitary
point of view. But the members Of the
Payson-MOnroe Saratoga Mulberry I'm
provement Association are proceeding or
very much broader lines. They will pur-
chase the ground in the rear of their
block and convert it into private COM
munity park of about 200 by 100 feet
In this way they will secure an open space
of ground of considerable extent common
to all the residents of the block, and
yet set apart for their own exclusive use
