talk which The Times Dispatch cor
respondent had to-day with Conprcss
man Montague and with members OF
me Rivers and Harbors Committee of
the House. regarding the hearing be-
iore that committee on the subject OF
improving tile James River, IT became
apparent that when the committee re-
ports It's bill for the present session
Mr. Montague will make n fight for n
Digger appropriation. which NAV RIM
through several years.
III appears from what was learned
mere to-day that the committee mem
pcrs were surprised at what develoned
Yesterday, especially when they heard
that the city OF Richmond had put nm
nearly half Of all appropriations for
inc James River; that no survey has
been made since 1884, and that in adj
dltion to this state of affairs II will
take nearly forty years to complete the
present plan at the rate work is pro.
crossing.
MT. Montague said to-day that a fter
thinking over the incidents of yester

III was the proper time to begin an ac
! tive light for permanent Improvement
OF the James River, and that the bat

SLANG.

Whatever arguments may be put for
ward in defence of the use of slang
(and there are a few sound ones in
regard to special occasions) none OF
them should be considered applicable
to youth. To do so is to endanger the
likelihood of their ever being able to
express their ideas in good English.
Until a speaker is master of his moth
er tongue and can employ it readily
in its purest and noblcst FORMS he
should scrupulously refrain from ex-
pressions that are in fact mutilations
of the English language.
ii is distressing to listen to recita-
lions or variations weighed down with
words and phrases that violate every
canon of good usage. Teachers and

CHEWING GUM.

Hygienically speaking, there may be
some excuse for chewing gum. From
the standpoint of good form or ap-
pearances there can be none. To chew
gum in the presence of others is to be
guilty of breach of taste which may
find it hard to pardon.
The best course for any one to pur-
sue whose health or perverted taste
requires the chewing of gum is to be-
take himself to a dark and lonely
cave and there exert his jaws where
sight and sound will not, annoy his
fellow man.

In variety. Then there are the COM

with. With the advance of the season
this particular development Of the

made of organdie, trimmed with valen-

two rows of hem-stitching, one OF
them fastening the lace to the Or

four very fine wires at the back, and
