COIOTing In Concrete.

Matthew Page Andrews, president of

written to Mayor Preston of RaltimoltS
suggesting that some form OF coloring
matter be used in mixing concrete to be
laid as sidewalks ia place Of the white

which causes quite glare. extremely un-
pleasant to all pedestrians
La part, the letter read
Scarcely anyone who has to walk or
ride about the city under the summer
sun. is not more or less affected by the
glare of white concrete. Would It not
afford relief to the eyes tolutroduce some
form of coloring matter into The concrete
of the new pavements1 La some sections
OF the city this has been done and the eff =
feet is at once grateful. A noted ocuist
here, who would not be quoted, heartily
endorsed thus suggestion, aud some
neighborhood associations are preparing
to carry ont this idea for future paving.

A New Year!
To many of us it will be year
of plenty-if we do OUR part-if we
but use our brains, and our energy
and our perseverance-if we use them
in the RIGHT way.
But will we do that?
Will the RIGHT way appeal to us?
Many Of us, have made the custom
airy New Years resolutions, with the
full intention to live up to them.
But WILL WE so live?
Will the year be one in which we
place RIGHT above all other consid
erations?
Will it be one in which we place
HONOR above GOLD, and CHARITY
above GREED, and GENTLENESs
above ARROGANCE?
Or will we plunge headlong into a
franctic and gasping rush for the
golden end of the rainbow?
Will it be a year in which our
simple WORD is as good-or even bet.
ter-than our BOND?
Or will it be one in which we
HAGGLE, and TWIST, and SQUIRM,
and EvADE, and CONCEAL, and DE-

But which WILL it be?

we'll?

arily on the outbreak of the European
war, because of the belief that the
investing and creditor nations would
make raid on the gold reserve. All
this is past and gone, The Demo-
cratic administration did not overturn
things; it removed all uncertainty re-
garding the tariff; it gave the country
nothing more extreme in antitrust
legislation than had been received from
two previous Republican administra-
tons; it reorganized the banking and
currency system along lines that have
been pronounced satisfactory by the
moneyed interests; it has carried the
gold reserve safely through the crisis.
Moreover, the tariff question is out
of the way for some years to come,
and importers and manufacturers know
exactly on what basis they can make
their calculations; the banking and cur
rency question is out of the way, and
there is no occasion for unsettled
conditions" on this score Further
more, the gold reserve is immense
and unthreatened, the bank vaults are
full of ready money; the crops, ire
mendous in volume, are commanding
high prices foreign governments are
pouring in orders that aggregate hun
dreds of millions; the President prom
ises that there shall be no further legis.
lation touching business, big or small,
and, last but not least, the railroads
have been granted the advance in rates
which they claimed would insure their
prosperity. y
One might go one reciting reasons
why the United States, presently and
prospectively, is on a much sounder
footing financially, industrially and
commercially than it has been at any
time in, say, the last five and per-
haps in the last ten years. In com.
mon with the rest Of the world it
has just felt a mighty shock, but un.
like some Of its sister nations, it has
recovered from it. Among all the ma
lions Of the earth today it seems to
be in the best position to give an e.
hibition Of confidence in the future.
1ts optimism would be cheering to the
depressed everywhere. Its example Of
prosperity in peace would exert. .
widespread moral influence over pop.
ular thought abroad.
There lie no good reason that we
can see why the United States should
not face the new year with all it's
promises Of better things. The coun.
try is in the enjoyment Of exceptional
opportunities. BY making proper use
of them it can perform a good part for
all the world. Let every one get to
his post and do his part.-Christian
