New York's Better Morals
New York World |

lNeW OfK world
After teaching Sunday school in
New York continuously since 1861,
Mrs. Miles e. Jenkins, now eighty
four Years old, thinks that private
morals are better than they used to
be. She sees fewer drunKards on the
streets and believes there Is less vice
in proportion TO the population than
there was fifty years ago. Young
people are cleaner and more moral"
and this Notwithstanding their
girl was afraid to go out on the street
alcne. Now even a child can go to
theaters, but most women would not
go in 1860"
or course all professional moralists
know how mistaken this venerable
observer is in her conclusions, and
social service workers and uplift in
vestigators will smile at her credulity.
Is not everything rotten in this mod
ern Denmark? Mrs. Jenkins even has
a kindly word for the present styles of
womens clothes. Some of them
were pretty bad in 1860, too," she
says.
A woman who sees only the good
side of things would never do for
social research. What perversity of
spirit moves her to laud the present
when her obvious duty was to contrast
its shortcomings with the golden
past? 1t is comforting to have the
testimony of even one survivor from
a former generation that the good
ola times were worse than these
degenerate modern times which in
their turn will be held up to the re-
proof of a generation to come.

LESSON FOR HARRISBURG
TIME activities planned by steeltol

TNHE activities planned by Steelton
in observance of Arbor Day,
April 2S, should be a lesson
against the lethargy shown in regard
TO such events in Harrisburg.
Scarcely an Arbor Day passes in the
thriving mill town to the south of the
city that is not celebrated in some
practical way. This time it is planned
10 have the school children plant hun
dreds of trees in the Kelker Park
tract.
viii not the Harrisburg authorities
do something to instill in the coming
citizenry of this municipality a proper
civic duty and a proper appreciation
of the beautiful? There is no good
reason why every child in Harrisburg
should not take some part in an Arbor
Day celebration. Thousands of spots
in the city parks, hooks about the
school buildings and barren stretches
of street could be made beautiful for
all time by the planting of trees. Why
not do something constructive along
this line hereafter? 1t may not be
too late to plan a city-wide observance
for the coming Arbor Day.

Militant Harvard
New York Times1

New OrK IlmeSl
There are some pacilists at Har-
ward, but they have not been allowed
to create an exaggerated impression
as to either their number or their
importance. The Harvard the Amer
lean public sees and hears is distinct
ly militant, or at least enthusiastic
ally willing to be, and not only have
considerably more than 200 Harvard
men demonstrated practical sympathy
for the Allies in Europe by enlisting
for service of one or another kind
in the field, but the undergraduate
students as a body have gone into
actual and active training to fit them
selves for becoming officers of volun-
teers.
They are not only advocates of
preparedness, but they are prepar-
inS. Ex-President Eliot and Presi-
dent Lowell have not labored in vain,
and the results they have achieved by
preaching a sound and efficient
patriotism must-well they deserve
the attention it is to be hoped they
are receiving from the other Amer
lean colleges.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-26

sed and get away with IL. With the
exception of draped trousers and pur-
pie frock coat, the designers of mems
wear seem to have covered the field
of radical innovations.
Yet the fact remains that the men
who are pointed out as the nations
best dressed are those with the most
conservative ideas of clothes; who in
terpret most accurately the somber
routine of styles marked London. The
well-cut blue serge sack suit, and
plain contrasting tie, are every bit as
conspicuous as the black and white
check suit of elaborate cut, red tie and
tan shoes, but the impression created,
of course. is entirely different. Actors,
who as a matter of professional eX-
pediency alone devote a great deal of
attention to the proper modes of dress,
are very partial to blue serge, and they
almost never wear clamorous ties and
hose.
Lou Tellegen, recently married to
Miss Geraldine Farrar, is considered
one of the best dressed men in New
York. He wants very plain tailored
clothes, with an occasional bright tie
and fancy shirt. Donald Brian, at pres
ent one of the most conspicuous the
atrical figures in New York. would not
create half so great an impression If
he did not understand the value of
simple, well-tailored clothes. His lat
est walking apparel is a dark blue
serge suit, white shirt and dark tie,
shoes with gray tops-not to mention
mustache.
Good clothes are not only of vital
Importance in the theatrical profession,
but in other walks of life as we'll Ask
the successful businessman what he
thinks about clothes, and he will tell
you that the well-dressed man is ten
times as valuable as the carelessly
dressed one. His intelligence may not
be any greater, but the fact that his
apparel is impeccable lends him an
assurance that carries forcible sug-
gestion. If in requesting a job you are
better dressed than the man to whom
you apply, your advantage is half the
battle. One OF the first laws of ora
tory is first to please the eye of the
audience, after which they will listen
to anything you have to say
The increasing Importance attached
to clothes is illustrated by the numer-
Gus varieties of sport attire now on
the market. The man who plays tennis
or golf no longer wears an old suit
and ties a handkerchief around his
forehead. He traVerses the links in
Norfolk jacket, long stockings, cap and
brogans, and he plays tennis in white
linen helmet manufactured for the ex-
press purpose. The polo helmet, in
troduced by English players, has cap
tured the American fancy and has now
been adopted for all sports in this
country. There are golf helmets, rid
ing helmets, tramping helmets. tennis
helmets and fishing helmets. The wide
use of this headdress in the tropics
has demonstrated it's value as a pro-
lection against the sun.
The question is constantly being
raised as to what are good clothes,
and why. Why should it not be in
good taste to wear a Roman tunio in
the summer, or a bird of paradise on
ones hat, or a colonial lace collar?
Why is mans evening dress the same
as the uniform of walters?

HOPE In DELAY

LIVERY day of delay, every new
II conference of officials, increases
the hope that Germany is framing
note that will accede to American
demands in the U-boat controversy
II may be. however, that the imperial
government is merely endeavoring to
formulate a reply that will bring about
more negotiations and more note writ
ing, while the sinking of neutral ships
goes on. Germany's promises are made
SO lightly and broken so easily that
this country in all events must be
guided in the future by deeds rather
than by expressed intentions It is
difficult to understand how, should an
other American life be lost or endan-
Eered by Illegal submarine activities,
the President could do other than sum-
marily sever friendly relations with
Berlin.
But even should the imperial gov
ernment sincerely enter into an agree
ment not to violate the rights of neu-
trails in its submarine warfare against

BRIGHT COLORS FOR MEN
By Frederic J. Haskin

a FTER dressing him for several
~ generations in the dullest and
- most monotonous of clothes, the
style designers are now bestowing up
on man a touch of decoration and
color.
The readiness with which men adopt
the new styles, may indicate that they
are secretly rebellious at the somber
monotony of their apparel, which for
merly consisted of gay plumes, rich
velvets and laces, and that they are
going to insist upon a recrudescence of
gay effects.
Last Spring the modish man wore
his favorite flowers on his necktie and
this year they are marvellous crea-
tions of colors, consisting largely of
striped foliage and designs usually as
sociated with wallpaper.
Shirts, too, which used to be quiet
and unobtrusive affairs, have become
distinctly self-assertive. Moreover.
certain sartorial equipment which for
years enjoyed a permanent and es-
tablished position has been attacked
on the charge of discomfort. Thus the
derby has been thrust from it's high
status of popularity, and under the
leadership of Pierre Lott many coura-
geous males are discarding the stiff
collars.
Men, who were wont to raise loud
and raucous voices in the discussion
of the idiosyncrasies of womans wear,
have suddenly begun to realize. that
there are a few Improvements to be
desired in their own clothing-that the
feminine slave to fashion is no more
restricted by DEGREES from Paris than
is the modern masculine person by
styles created in New York and Lon
don. In fact, the latter is even more
bound by convention. No woman is
ever publicly ridiculed because she
wears a straw hat after the fifteenth
of September, but a man who attempts
such a thing rarely enjoys it. When
he does buy his new Fail hat it is
certain to be like thousands of other
mems hats, even to the band around
the crown. Indeed, 1t has long been
the popular idea that no greater Gala
nifty could befall a man than to wear
a hat, or suit or pair of shoes
which was absolutely unique and diff
ferent from anybody else's. In his ties,
shirts and hose only is there any de-
gree of freedom OF choice, and this
season it amounts to actual liberty.
The latest shipments of shirt ma
terials from abroad include various
color combinations. such as pale blue
with old gold stripes. old rose with
black stripes, gray with green and
lavender stripes; and plain colors such
as peony pink, violet, deep heliotrope
and tulip yellow. Apparently, this is
striped season-there are also strip
ed suits, striped ties and striped hose
Checks are also coming in for their
share OF attention, in which the most
recent novelty is the checked hat to
match the checked suit
With stripes and checks of all ma
terials and colors ranging from old
gold to violet with highly ornate neck
ties and hose: gaily colored handker-
chiefs and shirts, and with the col
lar cut at every conceivable angle and
trimmed with small pearl buttons, II
would appear to the casual observer
that there was every chance for man
to express any individuality he posses

\ "MEITING POT" EXAMPLE

COEMBODY called the United
y States melting pot for hu-
manity and the name stuck.
An incident occurring in New York
yesterday recalls an interesting phase
of our national history and shows that
the melting" process is as old as the
country and that it works under even
very difficult conditions. Contractors
dug up a long buried row of huts in
New York, used during the Revolu-
ton as quarters for the Hessians
brought over here by the English to
fight Americans The bulk of these
hirelings were captured by the Amer
leans and the foreigners liked their
new found friends so well they de-
cided to stay with them. They came
to fight us and they remained to be-
come American citizens. Their de-
scendants served in the Civil War on
the side of the Union and in the Span
ish- American war.

the shipping of its enemies, the con-
cession will be as much an indictment
of the weakness and inefficiency of the
Wilson administration as victory for
its craftsmanship. AS Colonel Roose-
welt said the other day. If Germany
yields to the threats of the United
States now, it would have yielded even
more readily at the very start of the
war had this government assumed a
firm and unyielding attitude with re-
spect to the rights of its citizens.
Whatever happens now, the deaths of
hundreds of men, women and children
aboard torpedoed ships must be
charged up to the tardiness and weak
kneed policies of the Wilson admins
tration. No belated diplomatic victory
desirable though it may be at this
time. can remove that stain.
