The Death in the Family and the
"DamnabIe" Policy.

To THE EDITOR or THE suS--Sr: This

unusual absence OF open demonstration
over this latest war horror, said:
The whole atmosphere seems like there

death In this comprehensive English
speaking family OF ours. And those Of
our family be their extraction what II

and protest should show no note Of

MORRISON of the United States Navy

MoRRrsoN Of the United States Navy
our sincere thanks for their prompt
defence OF an enlisted man Of the navy
whom the proprietor OF Broadway
eating house attempted to exclude
from his establishment on Saturday
evening. The enlisted man, whose
ship Ii the Florida, was in uniform.
and that uniform instead OF obtaining
for him the respect that 1t should
inspire, was the excuse offered for the
humiliation to which its wearer was
subjected. 1t Is vaguely suggested
that the Lieutenants' protest against
the indignity offered TO the enlisted
man was not unaccompanied by evil
dence OF pugilistic ability and entire
willingness TO resort TO violence to
uphold the ordinary decencies OF life.
We trust they used no more force
than was necessary; and We hope that
their example in sticking up for the
rights OF the men OF the navy may
not be without effect in quarters
where the most unpatriotic and re-
pulsive form OF snobbishness known
Ia not infrequently displayed.

The Palisades Interstate Park.

In the whole Hudson Valley there
10 no spot more beautiful and secluded
Than Highland Lake in the shadow of
Bear Mountain. The shores are well
wooded with a large growth, and
springs abound in the nelghborhood.
Northwest of the lake, and extending
to Tuxedo, lies Wild and hilly coun-
try, with many elevations of more
than a thousand feet and numerous
lonely ponds, the Adirondacks on
reduced scale. This fine territory.
known as Hartman Park. is a para.
disc for nature lovers and campers.
From the Bear Mountain reservation
road runs round and over Dunder-
berg. which looms up near Bear. To
sentinel Hook Mountain on the south.
Still further south, and in the state
Of New Jersey, Pal sades Park proper
extends along the Hudson 10 Fort
Lee; and midway, hut back from the
river, Is Blauvet Park.
We have been taking stock Of the
tracts that compose the Palisades In

region that occasional pedestrians
and roaming hunters penetrated ten
years ago has become recreation and
play ground for many thousands,
chiefly city dwellers. The Commits
sion is doing splendid work-it is a
labor of love-in developing every
part OF the reservation for the enjoy
ment of visitors. Most of them 90 TO
the Palisades Park from New York
by a regular steamboat service espe-
cially provided for them.
The Commi ssion is naturally CIV
ing the ajor share of its attention
to Bear Mountain Park and High
land Lake. Shelters, restaurants,
boat houses and dock have been
built: paths laid out, springs con
verted into fountains; ba seball fields,
running track and childrcn's play
ground constructed and camping sites
developed. Looking to the future
forestry work has been done on a
large scale, no less than 100000 tree,
having been planted in Bear Noun
tain Park during the year past.
Hartman Park is one OF the most
glorious places for Boy Scouts imag
Unable. Five thousand boys from
New York and New Jersey camped
about It's ponds and ranged through
its woods during The last season. Log
houses and mess hall have beer
bull; for Them. Blauyet Park is re
served for working girls, the Commits

From CORNELIUS r. CAHALANR, Pro
lessor Of Police, this affllcted multi
tude gets a word Of cheer and a pre-
scrlption for the relief Of their in.
trinity Professor CAHALANE seems
to know 40 much about the police
force as man we'll can know and
his information is intensely practical.
He trains the able men whom we see
with gratitude on the street. and moth
ing that concerns their welfare is un-
interesting to him. When the inten.
slve studies he has carried on were
begun he learned that 70 per cent. OF
the men who had spent half score
years on the force had trouble with
their terminals. He called an expert
on feet. and in collaboration with
him he devised a trea tment TO re-
store the pedal extremities Of the pa.
trolmen to normal condition:
His nrst order threw out the heavy
soles and stiW arches the men had been
wearing and substituted flexible soles
without stiff arches
Then he gave the mon simple sxsr-
cises for the feet. such as rising on the
ball OF the foot and rocking backward
ard forward, resting the weight of the
body on the outside OF the foot.
In from two weeks to . month the
trouble with fallen arches Wa cured"
That fnal sentence we believe will
enlist the attention of thousands who
are SO unfortunate as not to enjoy
the immediate benefits OF Professor
CAHAIANf's supervision. They will

pline which compelled men to stand at
