now looking at this matter from the
point of view OF beauty, or trade, or
size. or antiquity; we are simply con-
sidering the point with regard to fame
and renown, whatever be its cause, as
operating to give the street the widest
degree of popularity. And, taking that
view Of 1t, | think we must at the start
rule out Whitehall and oxford street
from the London half dozen, while
similarly the Nevsld Prospect and the
Rue de Rivoli may be left out Of the
European section. This decision would
reduce our number by four, thus leav-
ing US with sixteen, from which we
have yet to choose.
Now. though O'Connell street (late
Sackville street,, Dublin, is one Of the
most beautiful in our islands. and has
every characteristic of grand thor
oughfare, / do not think it is nearly
so well known outside this kingdom as
are several others in our list here. So
we may, however reluctantly, put It
aside, too Probably, as the Bnnd OF
Shanghai wouis hate TO give way to
to tic Fooschow road in popularity, we
can omit that also from further consid-
Grafton here, famous as it is all over

difficult decision.

Fewer Strong Men Found Among Recruits of Today

tDECRUITS In the army are deterior-
N ating in physical standards since
the days Of the Civil war, according
to Captain Harold w. Jones and 9TH
.er officers OF the army medical corps
During a recent investigation meas
urements Of 500 recruits we're examin-
ed, and 1t was found that the per-
Icentage of strong men enlisted is by
far the lowest at the present day, only
SO per cent, as against 81 per cent.
in 1875.
The men considered weak at the
present time are 43 per cent. as
against 10 per cent. In 1875 At
tention is called to the fact that the
percentage of foreign-born recruits
has fallen from more than 80 per cent.
to about nine per cent. 1t is suggest
ed that many Of the recruits obtained
Irish emigrants of stocky build,
which may account for the great diff
ference in the percentage of strong
men.
Captain Jones says that many Of the
present recruits from the country
districts of Louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi are found to be i'll fed
and under weight, and that the uni
versal custom of waving several
pounds under the minimum gets
many an undraped scarecrow into the
service"
We must take the figures cautious
ly,' says that officer AS l have said,

Discrimination in Favor of Women, Says Witness

The poor man strolled along Con-
gress avenue about o'clock to take
a look at the crowd that had gathered
to watch the downtown fire. He stop
ped at several places along the way.
When he reached Main and Congress
he tilted himself forward and back
ward on the curbstone. He slipped
and began staggering. Several men
caught him and Strengthened him up.
Then a man with a high crowned hat,
with four dents, took him by the arm
and told him the other fellows had
tried to mob him.
"So?" inquired the unsteady one.
Beckoning to several other men, he
said Come here, l wants to tell you
something"
They surrounded him, but he didn't
say anything Then he called others
Now look" he said. Some women
pushed into the crowd just then and
looked. The man tossed his hat into
the gutter, then his coat, yanked off
his necktie and collar and shirt befor
any one could stop him. Policeman
Altofer was close at hand. The men
in the crowd put the mans clothes
on him, but had hard time keeping
them on. Policeman Altofer tried to
lead the man to the police station,
but 1t was like carrying bundle OF
lath.
No one happened to have a barrel
handy, SO the policeman put the pris-
oner into the next best thing, the pa
troll wagon, and took him away.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-10-31

think there is no doubt that we are
getting a different type of man in
the service today from what we got
years ago; he may be just as good
and he may have more brains. but
he does not seem to have as much
Drawn.
Whether the present-day recruit
would last as we'll under the old con-
dit1ons OF hard frontier service with
sanitary conditions far inferior to
those of the present time is hard
to say.
The high percentage OF strong men
in 1876 to 1879 may be due to the
fact that the recruiting, at least In
this part of the country, was not
very active then and the army could
pick its men, accepting only the hard
lest and best. Finally, believe fur
ther investigation along the lines sug-
gested in this paper in other parts
of the country might tell us whether
our standard Is really deteriorating or
not"

Capital Is Taking on the Attributes Of a Metropolis

throw the rinds out on the front
street. I've complained to the police
man on the beat and he's done moth
ing just want to find out what
we've got to submit to-"
What will you do about that?" the
correspondent asked Mai. Sylvester.
1T must go through the courts
"But the policeman on that beat
shouldn't he have done something?
Wen investigate that. There are
regulations forbidding ball playing
and dlsorderly conduct on the city
thoroughfares,"
Meanwhile the irate gentleman had
followed a quiet-spoken individual who
had asked him TO come with me and
make statement"
Then there is the tragic story OF the
apartment house resident-the clin
dweller OF civilization. One OF these
wooing a greatly desired morning nap,
is awakened in the young hours OF the
morning by the milkman. The milk
man has been awake these many
hours, and has absorbed all that ex-
hilaratlon which, so we are told, may
be extracted from the dawn. Having
absorbed said exhilaration, the milk
man proceeds TO exude II again for the
benefit Of all whom It may concern
whether the beneficiaries desire 1t or
not
Joyfully he scales the fire escape
and clumps through the halls. With
emphasis he deposits full bottle and
collects an empty one from each door
With what breeziness does he retrace
his steps, cheerfully clanking the bas-
ket OF empty bottles, and, mayhap,
whistling a little tune! Not a loud
whistle, you know-just a small, irre-
pressible, exuberant whistle.
Br-r-r-rr! Maledictions upon him!
But, at last, he is gone.
Then comes the ice man, clatter
clatter, into the alley. Certain horses
must be addressed in loud and man
datory tones-else they will not stand
Just right. A swarm OF boys must de-
liver ice in all directions, and call
across intervening space for instruc-
tions, But. at last, they. too. go.
