SOUNDS A DISCoRDANT NOTE
plan for Civic Identification Is Or
posed by Leading Pittsburgh
Journal.

At Atlantic City the United States
department Of agriculture proposes to
demonstrate for the country what can
be accomplished in civic Identification
by Transforming bare lots. street ter
races, portions Of Fairgrounds and va
cant property into flower gardens.
Alexander Weintrob, who last year
visited Europe to see what is being
done there to spread the Identification
movement among the people has been
designated In charge Of the Atlantic
City plan Substitution OF flowers for
vegetables in lot development will be
urged generally, It is said, If it sue
eeeds there.
The project. says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. recalls the free seed largess.
If She department Of agriculture is GO
ing 10 try to make those seeds grow,
something that few of the recipients
of congressional bounty have been
able to do. It may be all right. but 1t
seems as much a waste of government
tai effort as the seed distribution is of
public money
Civic Identification. further OBJ
serves the Dispatch, might well be left
to the various communities them
selves If Atlantic City heuseholders
or lot owners prefer vegetables to
flowers. in the hope of cutting down
the cost of living or making money
supplying the tables of visitors why
should Uncle Sam intervene? Just at
this time. with SO many important
crop problems to be considered, the
department might be more proftahiy
employed on practical work.

Improving the Little Red School.

At its recent annual meeting in
Springfield the Illinois State Teachers
association passed resolutions. of
which this was one:
we favor law requiring the cree
ton of schoolhouses on plans provid-
ing for proper heating, lighting. venti-
ladon, seating and other sanitary ar
rangements, as provided by the de-
partment of public instruction
Improvement of the facilities. ac-
eemmedations and surroundings of
country schools is highly important

will aid materially in checking the
drift of the population from the coun-
try TO the city.

Caring for Insane.

How enormous in the task of caring
for the insane is shown by the fact
that there are in all our public insti-
tutions approximately 100000 insane
persons, a number exceeding the num-
Der of students enrolled in all the
colleges and institutions in the coun-
try. In New York the expenditure
for the insane is one-fourth of the
total annual appropriations of the
state.

One Good Reason for Being a Woman
By nature man belongs to the hunt
In the open, and woman to the fire in
doors, and just here lies one of the
best reasons for being a woman rather
than a man, because woman can get
along without mans out-of-doors
much better than a man can get along
without woman's indoors, which
proves woman of the two The better
bachelor, as being more self-eontained
and self-contented. Every real man
when abroad on the hunt is always
dreaming of hearth and hob and
wife. whereas no real woman, if she
has the hearth and the hob, is longing
for mans hunting spear or quarry II
she is indeed a real woman she is very
likely longing to give a man the com
fort of the fire, provided he will not
stay too long at stretch. but get out
long enough to give her time to brush
up his hearth and rinse his teapot
satisfactorily to herself.-Atlantic

fatal error comes too late. Twenty
odd men, good and true, have paid
for it with their lives.
There is, must be, some one indi-
Wdual, or perhaps more than one,
upon whom rests the responsibility
for the disaster, or else the naval bu-
reau at Washington is branded as ut
terly incompetent and wholly UNI
worthy.
Not with the idea alone of punish
ing those whose criminal carelessnesS
has cost a score of lives, but that an
awful blot may be removed from the
escutcheon of this nation, that sys-
TEN fraught with appalling possibili-
ties may be eradicated, a searching
Investigation should be instituted.
If, as a result, the fault should be
placed, those officers found guilty of
so recklessly toying with the lives of
faithful sIbordinates should be dis
missed from the service forthwith.
They should be forced to wear the
badge of dishonor, for dishonored
they are by their own actions, if
these charges be true.
T.. There is enough testimony Of, grave
fault already adduced to demand that
court martial sift the affair to the
smallest grain, and the people Of
America will not, for once, be salts
fed with an official whitewashing.

Now, Dame Fashion, being somewhat
