Where the Tightwads Err.
From the Cleveland Press.

From the Cleveland Press.
1t ought to be easy to tell the differ
euce between thrift and stinginess. But
many folk don't know IT. No tightwad
does. A thrifty man is always liberal
man. though not a wasteful one. When
he spends a dollar his face doesn't show
spasms of pain nor does he tremble with
avarice until his dollar returns. leading
another dollar of profit. He spends in
telligently and therefore willingly, and is
content to await the outcome, because
he knows that in the long run he will
get back from society about in pr: por
ton as he gives. AS with individuals so
with communit ;es. states nations. Econ
omy doesn't mean parsimony. 1t means
when and how to be liberal. 1t means
having foresight.

Advance in Handling Coal.

PARIS, November "a French cav

October. Here is translation of his

two lines are SO near at certain points
that the soldiers throw hand grenades

and has an average depth OF water ap-
proximating nine feet at high tide. The
plans submitted by Col. Harts include
the utilization of this whole basin as
a water resort for the National Capital.
They require the erection of a model
bathhouse, an artificial beach and two
large concrete piers.
The artificial beach is to be 400 feet
in length and to extend between the two
piers. The piers are to be ''T' shaped
and are to extend out into the water
for at least a hundred feet. The top Of
the ''T'' will form an observation point
for visitors who desire to observe the
sports in the water. The beach is to be
covered with sand and will be gently
sloping. SO that those who do not swim
may enjoy exercise in the water without
danger Of going over their depth. The
piers will mark the safety limit for
those who cannot swim well. Outside
of the pier will be a large expanse Of
water. giving ample opportunity for ex-
pert swimmers to exercise their skill
Boating will also be encouraged in the
basin. A certain number of boats will
be provided for hire, and encouragement
will be given to all those who desire to
keep their own boats upon the basin
The safety of the basin will appeal to
amateur cancers as well as to swimmers

PUBLIC BATHS AND
LAUNDRIES.
By Frederic J. H in.

| November IA forward movement in
the direction Of public cleanliness was
established in New York city by the
opening Of a municipal wet-wash laun-
dry in connection with one of the pub
lie lighthouses. The new plant Is un-
der the direction Of the bureau of pub
lie health and hygiene of the New
York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, and it is expect
ed to supply a crying need long felt
| in every large city. The responsibility
of the municipality in providing public
baths is now established. Health Off
cials agree that it is of comparatively
little use to cleanse the body unless
clean clothes are provided to cover It.
Despite the objection of paternalism
urged by conservatives, it seems in
cumbent upon every large city to see
that some provision is made for wash
ing the clothing as well as the person.
In most of the large cities some at
tempts have been made to PROVIDE
washhouSe facilities in connection
with public bathnouses. These wash
houses provide the women of the tene-
ments with tubs, drying facilities and
an unlimited supply of hot and cold
water for washing their clothes. Ihe
value of the public washhouse as an
adjunct to the bath is well eSlapilSneu
In most cities the only fault. found Is
that they are not numerous enough TO
meet the demand or near enough 10 the
people who need them.
But many women have to work all
day and have not time to carry their
clothes to the public washhouse or
time to wash them there. They nave
no conveniences for washing the fam
lily clothing at home other than the
kitchen sink. What wonder tnat
garments are frequently worn which
have no acquaintance with the wash
tub from the time they are nrst put
on until they are worn INTO tatterS
and thrown into the dump heap. 1t
wet-W Nash public laundry is opened
\ number of commercial laundrles
have wet-wash divisions, but their
prices place them out of the reach OF
those ho need them most. Often, too.
the wet-wash work is done in 4 dark
insa nitary cellar, and the clothing is
exposed to disease germs. The wet
wash laundry Just opened in New ork
is upon the second floor of the Mllbank
Memorial Bath building. 1t will wash
thirty pounds of family clothing for
- cents. II they are called for and
delivered the charge will he 30 cents.
\ careful study of the conditions ihdi-
cate that the work can be made self
supporting at these prices. so that
the objection of paUperlZlng lts pa
irons cannot be sustained. The sani-
tary advantage of having the clothing

room and partially dried by the centr1f-
ugal hydro extractor. instead OF
home, is indisputable-
