An Organization Of Boys Has Been
Started In New York City.
A Junior police force has been re-
Gently started on the east side in. New
York city. The department is organic
ed on the model of the regular police
force and governed by a written code
Of regulations. The precinct has been
divided into twelve districts, with a
captain Ove each. Each captain has
a lieutenant, two %sergeants. and from
twenty-one to sixty-five patrolmen,
whose duty is summed up in the ten
sentences following:
Prevent swearing in public streets
and places.
Prevent the building of bonfres on
the streets.
Prevent boys from defacing property
and sidewalks with chalk.
Prevent boys from engaging in dan
gerous or unlawful play.
Prevent boys from playing craps or
smoking cigarettes.
Prevent persons placing encum-
brances Dr. Instructions on fire escapes.
See that ash and garbage cans are
removed after being emptied.
Prevent the mixing Of paper, gar
bage and ashes.
Request persons to keep the side
walks and areaways clean in front Of
their premises.
For the above purposes do not enter
any building.
In order to prevent these duties from
interfering with their play hours each
boy is ION" only a half hour each day.
During, this time he. inspects the blocks
assigned to him and reports their con
dition to his superior. The work Is
said to be effective and appeals to the
boys immensely.

WHAT "MoWEs" HAVE DONE.
Stimulated Growth Of Suburbs and
Dead Urban Sections.

Five years of the drama In films have
given a most impressive example of
the valuable support the development
of the movies" has given to real es-
tate. Every afternoon and evening ap-
proximately 1OO.OOO.OOO feet of moving
picture films are unreeled for the en-
tertainment of MANY millions of people
who till seats III more than $4,000 the
alters in the United States alone. In
all probability the capital invested in
such enterprises would aggregate close
to $JOO,O0O,OOO
For New York and other large cities,
where the moving picture industry Is
deeply rooted, these enterprises have
done the service of converting many
vacant lots, former dumping grounds.
into income payers and in not u few
instances helped to restore the life of
many moribund theaters. now com
bined vaudeville and picture play
houses, that make easy for their own
ers the payment of taxes and interest
on the realty they occupy.
One of the features of the moving
picture theaters. owing to their mex
pensive admissions. is that they will
thrive in districts which could not sup
port q legitimate theater. Therefore
because Of this many properties in the
suburbs and in the outskirts Of cities
have been utilized which but for the
picture theaters would doubtless be
untenanted.

The Earth's Motion.

The great Newton declared that
the motions of all bodies in space
are suffering retardation and that
their velocity is steadily becoming
less and will. eventually cease, and
all the a~scertained facts of present
day astronomers are decidedly in
favor of Sir Isaac's idea. The earth,
with it's mass of 5000 trilliops of
tons, travelling through space at the
speed of something like 1000 miles
a minute, is slowly but surely COM
ing to a standstill through the fric-
ton of the tides and other causes.
1t has been calculated by eminent
astronomers that the earth loses
about an hour in, 10000 years and
is therefore gradually coming to q
rest.-New York American.

GARBAGE AND REFUSE.

Five Rules For Collection and Disposal
Advocated.
Mrs. G. III. Wilmerding of Flushing.
N. Y. has given q great deal Of atten-
ton to the question Of garbage dis
pOsal. In q recent address which she
delivered before the American Civic
association she laid down the following
five rules as necessary for all munici-
palitics:
"First.-The city must collect the
garbage every day.
"Second.-Garbage. refuse and ash
cans must not be allowed to stand In
the streets and alleys at all.
"Third.-Tin cans. sticks. paper.
broken china OF any refuse other than
garbage must be kept separate and in
a'suitable receptacle.
"Fourth.-Ashes must be kept sep
arate.
"Fifth.-Garbage must he sorted, and
pressed and not allowed to spoil.
''Failure to observe these rules must
be reported and fines imposed

He Looked Ahead.

A striking illustration Of the
chances of war is found in the fact
that the American army at Cam
bridge during the war of the Revo-
luton would have been left with
out ammunition but for the previ-
sion of John Brown, a merchant Of
Providence, R. l., and one of the
family who gave name to the uni
versity at the place. Brown was a
very wealthy merchant and was the
first of the Rhode Island merchants
to send his ships to China and the
East Indies. Anticipating the war,
he instructed his captains on the re-
turn voyage to load their ships with
powder, which he furnished to the
army when its supply had been re-
stricted to less than four rounds to
each man.

WAR ON THE BILLBOARD.

American Civic Association Says Pub
lie Sentiment Demands Restriction.
From its very institution the Ameri-
can Civic association has devoted itself
to the protection Of the public against
three great MISUNDERSTANDING, poles
and wires und billboards. At the re-
cent annual convention of the associa-
ton in Washington one Of the imp0r-
tant subjects discussed was %billb0ards,
with a principal address entitled ''The
Passing Of the Signboard," by Jesse
Lee Bennett Of Baltimore. in which
he recounted the steps that had been
taken for the legal control Of the bill
board In all parts Of the United States.
Concerning the sentiment against the
billboard Mr.. Bennett said: The feel
ing against the signboard has become
nation wide, and in the past few years
the agitation of civic organizations has
been so successful as to awaken re-
sentiment against it so widespread that
from coast to coast and in almost every
state and city there are now or have
been. vigorous movements seeking the
abolition or regulation Of these unnec-
essary and disfiguring objects.
There has been much agitation. and
from it there has been distilled one
thing-the recognition of the fact that
what is called the signboard problem
is a question more complex than the
mere removal of the signs. The sign
board has been found to be inextrica-
bly, INTERVIEWED with two questions of
even greater importance-the awaken
ing of civic sentiment and the recOgni-
ton by legislators and judges of the
validity of arguments based upon aes-
thetic considerations"
Commenting on what ought to be the
attitude of the law and the courts to-
ward the billboard, he added:
at would take our psychologists but
a few minutes to show that It Is not q
question of ear or nose or eye, but a
question of the brain and of the very
consciousness that is life itself. No
law should permit any nan to intrude
or force himself or his business into
another mans consciousness to the ex-
tent that outdoor advertising has come
to permit, an intrusion UNNECESSARILY
increased by the fact that it Is impos-
sible to avoid seeing s~ignboards."

KILT OF rHE SCOT.
A e4yis Of Attirs That Gees Back 70
the Very Earliest Ages.

~
the Very Earliest Ages.
The first clothing the Celts put
on was a kilt, and it is very likely
that the first garment donned by
man or woman was a kilt. The
earliest clothing was of the skins Of
wild beasts, and the hair or fur was
left on the pelt. These skins were
not fashioned by a tailor into coat,
vest and trousers, nor even into
coat, waistcoat and breeches. The
garment was folded around the
body and the legs from the knees to
the feet were left bare. Thus the
kilt style goes back to the earliest
skin clothing of the human race.
The kilt has been worn in Scot
land from prehistoric times and, ac-
cording to some authorities, it was
a few centuries ago a plaid worn
across the shoulders, and in cold
weather part of it was twisted
around the waist.
The soldiers of Assyria wore the
kilt. The men of Sparta also wore
the kilt, and the Greek name Of it
was the chiffon, which was pro-
nounced "kyton." On occasions the
Greeks also wore a "chlamys," or
short cloak, and the "himatien,"
which was the long and sleeveless
robe familiar to moderns by seeing
it in Greek plays, pageants and the
like. In Jennie Halls "Men of Old
Greece" it is told how Leonidas,
king of Sparta, and his little band
went to Thermopylae while the
great festival of Olympus was being
celebrated by the Greeks. In that
little book it is written: $50 the
Spartan king went with his little
guard of 800. That little army was
fine to look at as it swung out of
the city in double line, with shining
armor and red chitons and long
bronze shields and tall bronze he'll
NETS and dangling swords and stiff
lances."
The Roman troops wore this
short skirt, while the Greek troops
and the mountaineers of the Balkan
lands wear the skirt today.-Wash-
ington Star.

Solomon the Snow White.

Johann Peter Hebel, the German
poet who Aourished in the early
part of the nineteenth century, had
better luck than has fallen to some
greater poets. He became a bishop
and Inspector of schools. He took
pains with the children. Once he
asked a class what Solomon was IA
nous for, but none could tell. Point
ing to the snow outside in the hope
that the white, (weiss) color might
give them the cue to the word weise
(wise), he said: "The snow is white.
Now, what was Solomon" Came
pat the answer, "Snow white!"

THE MOVING SPIRIT.

To the locomotive more than
to anything else may be attrib-
uted the spirit that has made
town development possible. 1t
is perfectly easy now for civic
secretaries to assemble any
where, perhaps a thousand miles
away from home. A. day and
a night behind the. steam mon
ster and the man from Bos-
ton grasps the hand of the Sec
rotary from Cape Girardeau;
North Dakota and South Caro-
lima compare notes; Utah and
Maryland swap experiences;
Kansas and New Jersey are
brothers.
So with all business and COM
merce. Without the locomotive
Chicago today would be a small
town, Atlanta u village, Denver
a hamlet. Development, de-
pendent as it is upon rail traf-
fic, would have been impossible.
The community bordering on no
navigable waterway would have
been stalled.-Town Develop

In arranging a light the position OF

the worker changing from a Tow to'a
higher chair. One may say the higher
chair IL not. so comfortable. That Is
true. but the comfort We receive is not
always the best for us. and the eye.
sight should be the 1rst consideration.
Another thing which should be i'm
