LETTERING THE STREETS

No matter how active street-clean-
ing departments may be, the thor
oughfaras Of a town never look de
Gently unless some spirit of neat
ness exists in the minds of citizens.
The tendency to litter up streets
with paper bags, hand-bills, scraps of
newspaper, etc, seems to grow worse
ana worse. Many newly arrived al
lens, who keep potatoes in the bath
.ub at home, regard the street as
the natural receptacle for refuse.
But the natives can not lay off ali
this abuse On aliens. Our own boys
and girls acquire every year a little
more Iawlessness in such ways.
They have lordly manners about
throwing waste around. They seem
to think that some street cleaner
should be in servile attendance ev-
cry minute, to pick up their leaVings.
When they get old enough to pay
taxes, they may realize what this
would cost.
DiSOrderly and Uttered streets
give the impression that a place has
no community spirit, and is too poor
for street cleaning. This affects the
minds Of all who pass through, and
makes a place look unattractive to
people who might settle here.
The automobile traffic places ev-
cry town ON dress parade. a stream
of strangers goes through daily in
machines. They pass Judgment ON
the place. If it is disorderly, they
circulate the story that the town is
slack and slovenly.
The summer is a time when pecu-
liar care is necessary. Refreshment
stands, and candy and fruit stores
are running full blast and many peo-
pie cast the debris into the CUTTERS.
A citizen should be as ashamed to
cast refuse into his street as to spit
on his parlor rug at home.

THE FIELD FOR EXPLORATION.

THE FIELD FOR EXPLORATION
Ii is commonly supposed that lit
tie UNEMPLOYED area is left ON the
earthis surface, save in the polar
regions and that adventurous men
like Theodore Roosevelt Will soon
find nothing left to discover. But
when one looks up the uneXpored re-
gionS of the earth, it is found that
there is work still left for the ex-
plorers. Alaska has am unknown sec
ton dis big as New England. There
are UNEMPLOYED regions in South A.
merica, Asia, and upper Canada as
big us California or Texas.
The Sahara desert of Africa was
formerly a great splotch of white on
the maps. 1t was regarded as value
less. 1t was long argued as feas-
fbIe project, that water be let in to
flood it. Further exploration show
ed the absurdity of this theory, by
demonstrating that it has mountains
a mile high, with much elevated
table land.
In this supposedly valueless tract
there are great GASES, one Of
which alone has 1000, 900 date palms.
Considerable areas can be made pro-
ductive by planting with coarse
grasses and tenacious varieties of
trees.
The worldwide search for rubber is
leading to further search in the
South American wilds. Perhaps the
Roosevelt party may have found it.
Very likely a better knowledge of
South America may yet reduce the
high price of automobile tires, and
make it possible to sell rubber oy-
ershoes having some substance.
1t is a costly matter to fit out
expeditions to explore these wilds-
The results are uncertain, and the
governments of the world are not
much inclined toward it. The work
depends on the scientific curiosity
and love for adventure shown by
such men as Mr.. Roosevelt There
will be much interest to learn wheth-
er his expedition, which has just
reached the sea-coast, has found re
sources of value to the world.

ABILITY IN THE ARMY

The work done by the United
States army in its occupation of Vera
Cruz will throw some light on a fire.
ueltly debated question, as to what
Grade of ability the United States is
citing to fill the positions of army
>ffieers.
There is a popular Impression that
the typical army officer is a marti-
net. He is supposed to spend his
life in seeking that guard mount
comes off precisely ON time, and in
ironing out the wrinkles from the
''rookies.'
A superficial view of West Point
and other military schools would
perhaps confirm this impression The
boys are subject to great rigidity of
discipline and study. One would think
the cold fixity of daily routine would
freeze out the warmer impulses of
ambition and originality.
1t has sometimes been maintained
that military schools are not able
to provide instructors capable of Civ
ing such mental stimulous as is found
in the beS colleges. Too often they
are young officers who must sit up
nights to keep barely ahead of the
boys they are teaching.
Nevertheless, graduates of West.
Point and like schools have always
maintained that there is something in
military life that lifts fellow above
amy mere dull routine of ceremony.
The emphasis ON neatnezs, physical
erectness and efficiency, the insist
ence ON truth telling and avoidance
of bad habits, turns out a very clean
cut man. To this is added the inspir-
ing influence of heroic tradition that
surrounds all military education.
Routine as army life may seem,
somehow the army men seem able to
rise to the occasion when some prob
lem of human administration is plac-
ed on them. Having learned to obey,
they seem to know how to command
Whether in the Philippines, Panama,

AS one of our prominent bankers

who proved to be Mr.. Hardin Jones,
prominent merchant of Elizabeth
town. In the course of the CONVEX
sation the fact was mentioned that
burglars had entered several homes

Gently. which brought forth this re-
markable personal experience from
Mr.. Jones: He said he had been
robbed thirteen times in the last
twenty years. There had lately been
good many robberies in and
around Elizabethtown, so he placed
placard on his safe which read;
This safe is not locked Please
do not blow It. take my money
home at night"
Evidently the burglar read the
sign, for few nights ago someone
entered Mr.. Jones home in the
night. and, leaving his watch where
il was on the table, took his trous-
ers. with his money IA the pockets
After this experience he has made
1t a rule to deposit in the bank every
day and to pay by check only
