First Public Fountain

William Rush was the first Ameri-
can sculptor, and one of his creations
was the first public fountain erected
in the United States. According to
the Journal of the American Institute
of Architects, it was originally placed
in Centre Square, Philadelphia, in
commemoration of the establishment
of the water works. Later it was
cast in bronze and placed half way
between the forebay and the Callow-
hill entrance to Paramount Park.
The figure is said to have been an
allegorical representation of the
Schuyllxill river, the drapery being
symbolic of the little waves of a
wind sheltered stream. From the
throat of the bittern issued a jet of
water, while smaller jets sprang up
from the feet of the figure. 1t is in
teresting to note that the latter is
said to have been denounced as i'm
modest when first created, although
to the present generation 1t would
seem to be unusually chaste in design.
In the History of Philadelphia" by
Scharf and Westcott, the statement
is made that Rush's model was the
beautiful Miss Nancy Vanuxem,
daughter of James Vanuxem, a mer-
chant.
Rush was born in Philadelphia July
4, 1856, and was the only American
to attempt carving or modelling prior
to the Revolution. He served an APP
premiership to Edward Catbush, a
wood carver and for many years was
principally occupied in making figure
heads for ships Notable among them
were those for the United States frig-
ates United States ana Constellation

United States" and Mature His
figure of the Indian Trader" on the
ship William Penn was copied by
London artists. His figure of
"River God" for the ship Ganges was
reverenced by the Hindu crowds. who
went in boatloads to see IT. All NJ
works were in wood or clay. Rusf
served in the Revolutionary army
and after independence had been OBJ
tanned was for many years promlnen'
in political affairs in Philadelphia.

THE RAILROAD SLAUGHTER GOES RIGHT ON

The slaughter inflicted upon party of automo-
bsts by the Atlantic City express of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company at unprotected grade
crossing in Gloucester City last night should arouse
the entire State to the deadly peril that turks for all
its people on the highways and for which the State
authorities and the Legislature equally respon-
sible with the railroads.
Three years ago bill to compel the railroads to
abolish their death-traps vetoed by Governor
Wilson because of the cost to the companies. This
year the bill by Senator Edge to compel the COM
panies to safeguard their grade crossings emas
culated The law is practically of little use. The
Edge bill was introduced to make mandatory work
which the State Utility Commission had refused to
order the railroad companies to do.
Since that commission organized 1t has done
nothing for the protection of human life, and the
commission has cost the State $125000 annually for
salaries and expenses.
Murder at the grade crossings in New Jersey has
become an ordinary event In the view of the rail-
road companies the Utility Commission, the Legis-
laure and the Governor it is of not much more
Importance than the killing of farmers COW. The
tragedy at Gloucester City will make no impression
on the minds of these authorities. Railroad diyi-
dends must be protected at any cost of human life.
But why should the great public be so apathetic?
Why do the people elect men to the Legislature who
permit laws their protection to be vetoed or emas-
culated? Why do they keep hgh-salaried recreants
to sworn duty in office? Why do they choose Gov
ernors who approve worthless laws?
The blood of scores of unhappy victims of the
grade crossing death-traps cries aloud for justice
How many more victims are needed to make the cry
loud enough for the public of the State to hear and
heed?

PROGRESS IN MEADOW RECLAMATION.

Material progress has been made in the recama-
ton work the meadows by the engineers OF the
Board of Works and the great noisome morass which
existed long before Newark settled will soon be
solid ground and be occupied for commerce and in
dustry Eventually the bay front of the meadows

of commerce will to receive and discharge their
cargoes while a new industrial city will arise on the
hinterland.
This is city enterprise and, usual, Newark is
betting the example for other cities. Newark made
no appeal aid and all it has asked from the
federal government dredging of the bay, which
is federal duty anyhow. Of all the municipalities
of the State that border on tidal waters Newark is
the only one that has made beginning of harbor
improvement. The rest merely talking it over.
We started late, it is true, and for that we may
blame adverse railroad influence and the knockers,
but the work is we'll advanced and will progress
rapidly to completion. In 1916, when Newark cele-
brates it's two hundred and fftieth anniversary 1t

In an address at Battle Creek, DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, discussed the
deterioration of the Anglo-SaXon
physique and made the statement
that whereas in 1918 the standards
for admission into the British army
was six feet, it is now five feet, says
the Louisville Courier Journal.
A contributor to the columns OF the
New York Times says that Dr. Hills
has been misled. According to this
authority, the required height in 1900
was five feet and three inches, and
It is, in 1914, five feet an three
inches. There has been a variation
in each direction within the last CEN
fury.
Presumably all anthropologists will
agree without looking up the figures
that DIR. Hills erred greatly in belleV-
ing that there was ever a time when
a nation within the Zen of history
could maintain military efficiency
while demanding of its soldiers a
height of six feet in their socks.
There may have been times when
giants were common and six footers

Zapata' S Men Are Fearless

For two years wylie Smith fought
with the rebels in Mexico. NO one
knows the Mexicans better than ne
no one knows the country ana the
condition of warfare.
1.-TWO things we must keep in mind
the Mexican climate-the heat that
withers a white man-and the Ger
tainty that Mexicans instead OF fgnt-
inp in the open, will take to the
mountains, where artillery can't pen
citrate. and there are places men afoot
must pick their way" said Wyne
Smith.
"Reaching down into western Mex
leo are the Sierra Madre Mountains,
the Mothers Teeth they mean inter-
ally, which are a continuation OF the
Rocky Mountains They rise IN
broken and high peaks in the counties
of Sonora, Chihuahua Durango, oAld-
loa and Guerrero.
"During a let-up in our fighting
when | was down there l got news
that the Pacific Coast magazine could
use a story about Zapata, name
which means Shoe the man who
made 1t his business always TO ngnl
against the government, and the fel-
low who had himself fortified in the
hills in a way that reminded me OF
| the DooneS. But L dldn see any
| Lorna there.
HE had $500 men camped in
place in the mountains that made
| perfect dipper. There was only one
way of getting in and going out, and
it was passage only about fifty feet
wide, narrow, rugged, steep, up which
a man could climb only slowly. And
Zapata had machine guns trained on
this mountain pass and obstacles in
the way until he. with his $500 men,
could have held off 100000.
81 don't see how you could attack
the fellow, except with airships. They
are about the only way of getting at
him.
And believe me he's fighter. His
trade is fighting, just as that of the
other mountain bandits is. When re-
bellion is started he joins with the
rebels. When it succeeds he starts
another rebellion.

me story about the Shoe that
wasn't nice to hear when 1 was soor

Miss Ida Tarbell, successful maya
zinist. sounds an optimistic note IN
regard to magazine work as career
for women.
There is a great opportunity for
women in magazine work" says Miss
Tarbell This is one field in which
a. woman labors under no handicap.
No one asks when manuscript is re-
ceived whether it was written by
woman or by a man. Women in the
magazine world stand on their own
merits.
This is a very good thing for
women. 1t makes it impossible for
them to complain that they are
abused because of their sex. l often
grow so tired of hearing those COM
plants | am glad that there Is one
place where they are not possible.
There never was time when there
were so many magazines, so that
there is a great demand for workers
| in this field. There are so many diff
ferent kinds of magazines also that
each person can follow his or her spe-
cial bent.
There is a tremendous demand for
quality in the magazine field today
1 think l may say that there is nc
magazine of any standing whatever
which is not striving for quality OF
every kind.
"The despair of the magazine is that
they don't get better quality of ma
terial than they do. The day when a
brilliant or unusual feature is re.
ceived is marked in the magazine cal.

HUERTA KNOWS A "soFT THING"

Evidently Huerta has read the terms of the treaty
negotiated by Mr.. Bryan with Colombia; how Colon
bia is to get gift of $25,OOO,OOO from the United
States treasury with humble apology to COLOMBIA
for our enterprise in building the Panama Canal
Huerta has instructed his mediators and his terms
for consenting to eliminate himself will be made
known by them at Niagara Falls. Report says that
he wants $500 600, 900 of a loan and $9S,OOO,0oo
lease of Magdalena Bay
There are other conditions, but he may be pre-
pared to compromise on them. Taught by the Colom-
bian treaty Huerta believes he has soft thing"
In dealing with Mr. Bryan whose motto is generosity
at the national expense and surrender for the sake OF
peace"
The sum of $500 600 900 is equal to the cost of
building the Panama Canal but it is contemplated
to virtually present the canal to England, which is
rank outsider" why should the American secretary
of state bak at national loan of the same dimen-
sions to settle the Mexican trouble and enable Mr.
BRYAN to fill his Chautauqua lecture engagements

that was make the militia real national guard In

An amendment for that purpose was deliberately
voted down Mine guards and other employees of the

This is what is responsible for most of the blood

rich rancher in that neighborhood.
The fellow answered with courtesles,
but no money.
He woke up the next morning with
Zapata at his front door. He found
himself the next afternoon tied TO a
post in the middle of bull pen, his
body out of reach, but his legs low
enough to be gored.
Red cloth was tied around the
fellows legs and soldierss were set
to torturing a bull. The beast was
turned loose in the pen, and saw the
red cloth on the post. Maybe you
can guess what happened. The flesh
was gored from the mans legs and
he died as he hung on. the post
Did I say that Zapata had brought
the rancher's wife to the edge of the
pen and made her sit there?
THAT explains to you what those
fellows are-utterly merciless, some
of them not human. But this fellow
Zapata was partly Guerrero Indian,
and that helps to explain him.
"A dry, dark faced, meagre, inn
passive, and yet nervous man l found
him. And he insisted-it seemed
funny to me-that he be quoted COR
rectly. He didn't want people to get
a wrong impression of him.
Il want to impress the fact that
Mexicans are not cowardly; that they
fight we'll in their own way, and that
they can shoot
ITO illustrate: I'd been with the
rebels about a year when they chose
me to pick out thirty sharpshooters
from one hundred soldiers. 1 had
them set up a target at 1000 yards
and put them to firing at 1t. Not a
man made less than 80 per cent. over
half of them got better than 40 per
cent, and the fellow who was
selected as sergeant got 70 per cent.
That man would have killed seven
out of ten soldiers at 1000 yards.
81 remember a time when a small
force of our rebels attacked a town
as a ruse, then retreated, and the

BY MARY
Today Madame Media adds an
other year to her age. She is forty
eight years old and is still usually
spoken of as the greatest living so
prano. Although Melba Is ella med
by the English as a country woman,
she is, as a matter of fact, com
bination of Spanish and Scotch. This
combination, which is also to be
found in the beautiful Empress Eu-
genie, is said to produce very re-
markable results. To add still an
other element to the nationality OF
Melba she was born in Melbourne,
Australia Her name of Melba Is
but a contraction of the name of
the city of her birth. Her own name
was Mitchell.
When it was apparent that she
had a voice of great possib lities,
Melba went to Paris, where she
studied under the great German sing
ing teacher, Mathilde Marchisi. Mar
chisi also taught Eames. Calve, Syoil
