Husband a Private Luxury.

"A husband or a wife is personal taste. a
private taste" writes Elsie Clews Parsons, a
Well-known feminist and member of one of New
aaPropos Of the time-honored custom of inviting
dinner guests a couple.
To force your predictions on others is
generally accounted in bad taste. In this case
you not only obtrude your matrimonial taste on
others, you obtrude it crassy and irresponsibly.
Y gu do not even sit next to your husband or
wife at the dinner table or talk to him or her in
the entr'aete. You may enjoy walking or mo-
toring with him or her to the party and talking
it over afterward; but surely to demand that op.
ing little too much Might you not as we'll en-
pect her to provide you with the preprandial hot
bath necessary to put you in pleasant mood
airy room welcome in due time after dinneri
Bath or bed is a private luxury. So is hus-

Contracts for the purchase Of a NAM
month wire torpedo net will soon be let by
the Navy Department, in accordance with
plans drawn by the Bureau of Ordnance.
The net will be Of sixteen units, each
unit to be 96 feet long and So feet deep.
The net purchased will be used for ex-
perimental purposes, as the navy is very
anxious to arrive at some conclusion Of
the problem of torpedo protection. Ac-
cording to present plans, bids will bo
opened for the purchase OF the net about
July !. but no contract award will be
made until after the passage of the naval
appropria ton act The bill provides the
sum of $4,000 for torpedo nets for bat
tleships.
The heavy steel nets, according to plans
of the Bureau of Ordnance, will afford
protection to battleships by the lowering
Of various sections Of the net into the
water, thus building a flexible wire
fence" about the vessel
Such protection measures of course
are chiefly adapted for use while q battle
ship lies at anchor. but it is possible TO
use them when the ship is under way,
though such use naturally results in con-
siderable loss Of speed-a loss ranging
from four to FIVE knots per hour

1t appears that veterinarians Of cav

Inasmuch as there are no members OF

board. it seems. will have TO select from

Dauntless Anacostia.

Hats of to the dauntless and progressive cti-
zens Of Anacostia, D. c., who refuse to abandon
their joy-making progress or permit their en-
thusiasm to be dampened by the weather man.
Having twice been forced to postpone their
festivities because of hostile demonstrations from
the skies, they will make their third try on Mon
day to celebrate the civic progress of the town
on the other side Of the Anacosta River, or
Eastern branch of the Potomac, which insists
on having place of its on the map but
which the Capital refuses to admit is not part
OF itself. Anacostia is proud of its progress and
its improvements and Washington is proud of
Anacostia and will feel itself honored in having
a part in tomorrow's ceremonies if Anacostia
has even a part OF its share of luck in weather
way.

Editor of The Washington Herald: We
have two definitions of Americanisn, one
expressed by President Wilson in his
Flag Day" speech mere, and that Of
Justice Hughes, published in the press.
The Presidents words, IS I caught them,
were: Citizens of alien birth are entitled
to have sympathy for their European
kindred, but America demands their 10y
atty" Justice Hughes puts it in two
words namely: "Undiluted American
ism"
4 citizens allegiance to the fag sym
bo!izes what the flag stands for, Surely
The Stars and Stripes do not stand for
what some of the European belligerents
are fighting for, and how they are fight
lng-namely. for conquest and the killing
OF noncombatants. Prize fights are fought
Under Marquis of Queensbury rules, for
bidding hitting under the belt, etc.
Surely some of the methods in this Euro
pesn conflict are murderous and too rep
rehensible to warrant American sympa-
thy.
True Americanism must disavow all sym
pathy for brothers, sisters, fathers, moth
cal, barbarous methods. as has been prac-
ticed in Europe.
Ike Justice Hughes definition because
it means purity, and the Stars and
Stripes stand for that, as well a for
justice, humanity, and righteousness.
would add to Justice Hughes definition
the words: with a bite to it," or our
own Roosevelt's words: With a fight
ing edge" To be a real American. a
man must fight and die, If need be. for
the symbolisms Of the flag, and the man
with divided sympathy must necessar-
uy have a weakness IN his allegiance.

plain my position:
Roosevelt, in accepting the 1904 Repub-
lican nomination for President made the
following solemn promise to the American
people: The wise custom which limits
the President to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and under
no circumstances will be a candidate
for or accept another nomination"

lowing open letter:

link between the French war ofrice
ana the donors OF the hospital last
year when it was organized, I am
able to quote the head of the French
military board Of health when he Of
hcially visited the institution prior to
the arrival of the first wounded:
This is the best equipped hospital Of
the kind"
Two hundred patients can be shell
tered at Ris Orangis. and the beauti-
full grounds and park that surround
the buildings make il a very desirable
spot for the soldiers of France in
which to recuperate.
The hospital offers great ADVANTAGES
to the patients, as il is situated far
enough from Paris (eighteen miles) to
offer country quiet and a restful at
mosphere, and yet near enough to be
oenented by the proximity of the great
city.
Since the work was started il has
been found so efficient by the French
war office and other headquarters. as
attested by numerous testimonials
now at hand, that not only was the
title of Military Hospital given. but
the administration was also intrusted
with the supervision of 500 patients
