HISTORY BUILDERS.
Writing a Novel for Recreation.
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.)
Nv DIR. f. j. EDWARDS.

Shortly after the publication of the
first of the novels which were written
by DIR. William Alexander Hammond who
was surgeon-general of the army of the
United States in the last two years Of
the civil war, / spent an hour or two
with him at his home in New York City.
He had become professor In one OF
the medical colleges OF New York, and
was for some time a professor in the
University OF the City OF New York.
BY reason of these occupations he made
his residence in New York. having before
for many years lived in Washington.
DIR. Hammonds novel differs so great
ly from his other published writinGs-al-
most all of which were upon medical
subjects, having particular relation to
incredible that the same man could
have written the picturesque and vivid
novel entitled "Lar' and these standard
medical works. l ventured to ask DR..
Hammond for an explanation, or at least
a description OF the way in which he
worked as writer.
We'll, II illustrates my theory-which
1 believe has been thoroughly estab-
lished-that one of the best ways of
securing mental rest is by mental recre-
alton" he explained. The mind does
not need much rest in the sense in
which that term Is used. provided 1t
gets plenty of recreation.
Il found that, IL after days hard
work at the university or hospital or
after an afternoon of intense applica-
ton in the study of certain medical sub
jects I shifted. so to speak, my mental
occupation SO as to indulge in something
that was real recreation I obtained just
the kind of rest that ! needed
so l wondered exactly what kind OF
mental recreation I could pick up to
advantage. I thought l woud write
story. or at least begin one and plan
taking up my pen for that work an hour
or two before midnight.
THE first night I made this attempt
satisfied me that the plan was a good
one. l went to my desk at about II
O'Clock at night. I had two or three good
cigars with me. 1 wrote steadily for an
hour or an hour and half. / employed

the creatures of my brain as 1 would
have had If they had actually existed and
were with me in the flesh. l talked with
them. joked with them. put them into
exciting situations, and then took them
out Of those difficulties. and 1t was ex-
actly as profitable for me mentally as
would have been the case had 1 gone to
some like entertainment at the theater.
After writing for an hour or hour

Musical Comedy and Great Men.

Musical comedy, it must be admitted, is not
associated with certain most superior beings. We
do not associate it with Herbert Spencer, John
Stuart Mill, George Washington, Marcus Aurelius.
This is rather against it, but it would be mis-
take to conclude too hastily that the instincts
which satisfied by musical comedy are there
fore of a low or discrcdtable order.
If it could be proved that when Herbert Spen.
Ger was little BERTHE Spencer" he never INDUCED
in the exquisite pleasure of playing Jews
harp or mouth organ, never made music on q
comb, l should admit that the case against musi-
cal comedy was damaging. But l firmly believe
that at some time in that powerfully cere-
bral career there needs which nothing but q
mouth organ could assuage. And he who once
has consunmated that desire, hid brick in q
package, or secretly practieed clog dance, or
blackened his face with charcoal or tried on his
fathers hat, has shown the proclivities on which
musical comedy depends.
Marucs Aurelius must at some time have turn
ed handspring on the ancestral lawn History
does not say SO, but it is wrong to infer from his
tory, or from memorial sculpture or portraiture,
that all great men stood throughout life in frozen
attitudes Most history is written in embalming

are In ife.-The Nsu Republic,

MADE 1000, 900 TESTS.
High Grade of Efficiency shown BY
Pennsylvania Railroad Men.

In the first six months OF 1915 the
Pennsylvania Railroad made more than
100000 efficiency tests of all kinds. and
99.9 per cent of them showed perfect OBJ
servance of all rules and regulations on
the part of 135, ,i5S employees, il is stated.
Here are some results of this record:
Twenty-eight and one-half per cent less
employees were killed in the first six
months of 1915 than in the correspond
ing period OF last year. This was not
due to a heavy decrease in train mileage
as passenger train miles were only s per
less than in 1914. In 1914, 119 employees
various causes. while in 1915. s. employees
were killed.
No passengers were killed in a train ac-
cident in the period covered by these
tests-as a matter of fact, no passengers
have been killed in n train accident on
the Pennsylvania Railroad since 1872.
decrease in accidents Is invariably
accompanied by a high record of eff
cheney on the part of all employees. as
shown in the efficiency tests which are
made regularly. These tests cover the
work of both officers and the rank and
file.
The records of the first six months
Of this year show that 1880 tests were
made In the use of signals, and 1914 per
cent of them showed employees living up
to the strict letter OF the rules. Over
10, 900 tests were made with signals set
at stop. and in only 13 cases did the
trains fail to stop before passing the sig
nal by so much as a foot.
The Washington herald., 1915-08-06
Taking the Progressives Too Seriously.

Before another year has passed all the candi-
dates for the Office of President of the United
States will probably have been nominated and the
platforms upon which they will ask for the peo-
pies votes announced to the world. And with
the approach OF these important events the
thought is suggested that the leaders of the two
great parties speculating with rather more
seriousness than the situation justhes upon the
probable intentions OF the Progressives. The is
between Republicans and Democrats arc al
ready clearly defined, the general plan and scope
OF their Campaigns marked out, and organization
be accomplished speedily and with assured
effectiveness. On the other hand, the Progressives
are at without compass ruddcr, with no
issues in sight and with no present prospect of
finding a landing place.
The Progressive party it is true, sprang into
lrsty existence three years ago, and only three
months before election day, but it was born into
instant vigorous life of the sensational feud be-
tween Col Roosevelt and his former intimate
friend, Mr.. TAFT, and of the violent and unprccc-
dcntcd split in the Republican convention. At
the moment OF its advent it stood before the pub
lie thoroughly advertised and with more pledges
OF influential support than could have been gained
iOr it by a year OF preparation for the struggle
Spurious its birthright it dazzed and de-
Ceivcd the voters, with the result shown by the
Roosevelt ballot. But it took scarcely longer to
undeceivc the people than it did to misead them
ard for two years the Progressves have been a
declining party, and the decline has not yet been
checked. The present tendency, if it is continued
points plainly TO the party's finish. Practically
1t has already been reabsorbed by the G. o. P, a
process clearly reflected in the last election re-
turns OF late there has been rush of return
ing Prodigals, unchided by Col. Roosevelt, who
without JUNCTION announces that he will enroll as
a Progressive" and advise others who consult
hlm to do the same. Some great overshadowing
issue, or some frenzied rallying cry must be in
vented if the Progressive party is to breathe again.
and even then there may be hesitation to respond
lest the note again prove false.
So. in spite of Victor Murdock's famboyant
proclamation that winning battle is TO be fought
next year, the most that from present Indications
is to be apprehendcd from the Progrcssives is
that they will be able to maintain some semb-
lance of organization, scattered though if will
DC, and cast their ballots with more or less unani-
nifty for the man or measures that appeal to their
fancy.
