Food Handlers Examined.

To deal with the carrier" problem
and many others along this same line,
the New York city department of
health has passed an ordinance that
demands a certificate of health from
every person who in any manner
handles public food. The manufac-
turers and employees are Pnjoined
from hiring any person who has not
such certificate, and they are made
responsible for his compliance with
the law. They are examined free of
charge, and the public institutions
have been very generous in supplying
them with free treatment, when they
are found not up to requirement. These
regulations include cooks, bakers,
butchers, dairy employees, candy maxi
ers, walters, dlshwashers, delicatessen
workers, food peddlers, etc.

IS THE BEST WAR MEMORIAL
Town Hall or Library Serves Purpose
Well and May Replace Monu-
ments of the Past.

The question of war memorials, of
fitting tributes to those who have met
death through military service or
whose deeds have been marked by sig
nal acts of bravery, has been for a
long time discussed in the foreign ar
~chitectural press. A plan proposed,
and one that has met with general ap-
prevail, has been the building in each
town of a permanent memorial to mark
appreciation of the heroic men who
have gone forth in this war. This plan
will undoubtedly be found to be as
admirable in this country as 1t is in
Europe.
No one, says the American Archi-
tect, will criticize the patriotic i'm
pulse that prompted a grateful people
to set up in our cities and towns the
many soldiers monuments that so
often disfigure public squares and COM
mons and which as often cause a feel
ing of deep regret to every artistic OBJ
server. Now will be found an oppor-
tunity to take steps to avert in the
future a very serious artistic blunder,
and no class of men a exert a great
er influence in these matters than ar
chitects.
AS the town center is the logical
place for these memorials, it is equally
logical to assume that when properly
conceived they would exert a very de-
cided influence On the future develop
ment of the neighborhood. We need
in this country a better development Of
community life, a more intimate inter-
mingling of the people, and there is
no greater or better method than the
facilities offered by the town or village
hall. A welldesigned village hall or
library will admirably serve the pur-
poses of a memorial and provide for
all the people a constant reminder of
the purposes of its erection.

AIDS THRIFT
Being Tied to One Place lie More Prof.
table Than Being Foot-Free
and Homeless.

The owning Of a home, a fortune
greatly desired by every man, Is
a~chievable by most men. And yet the
proportion of Americans who live In
rented quarters grows larger year by
year.
One of the prime reasons for this
increasing tenancy Is that an increas-
ing proportion of are en-
ployees, and being employees they wish
to hold themselves free to move al
better employment may offer itself. 10
this hope Of better employment the
hope of a home is easily sacrificed.
The fear Of being tied to a home Is
not uncommon in those who are not
employees, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal. Some are not content to settle
down permanently, being lured by the
enchantment of the beyond-that be-
yond being the other side of the con-
tlnent or the other side of the street.
Moving becomes a habit, made easy
by those whose business Is transport
tation. But in the end the habit Is
expensive.
As a matter Of everyday demonstra-
ton, two facts stand forth: First,
being tied to a home is vastly more
profitable than being foot-free and
homeless; and, second, the home-owner
need never be tied to his home in an
undesirable way.
Few men ever accumulate enough to
carry them through life without first
being caught and tied up. Every well
established business is a financial
hitchlng post. The business of the life
insurance agent is to catch and tie
those who will not otherwise accumu-
late. Buying a home while living In
1t is one of the surest ways on earth
to persuade a man to accumulate prop
erty.

Two things, above all others, are re-
quired for the success of the separate
skirt. When it is made in plain, famil-
lar materials it must be rescued from
the commonplace by faultless fit and
workmanship. When made of novelty
weaves the selection of unusual and
appropriate patterns reflects the best
talent or modistes. 1t takes an instinct
for dress or an educated taste to make
the most of the separate skirt.
Beautiful color combinations, In
broad and narrow stripes, and original
methods in making are found In the
new separate skirts for afternoon
wear. Some very handsome plalds are
among them but stripes afford better
opportunities for the designer. A fine
example of what may be done with
them appears In the picture above.

ring ne seemed to ave a marvellous vocabulary. Mr.. Ginty told the stranger
ina eve in hi ne had ne listened to as well educated a bird. To which
tribute the bird rapidly replied at that time: "Wel educated! My dear fellow,
you LAY n o idea what 1 know. 1 know it all, if anyone should happen to
ask you, and I'm always willing to chrp at a moments notice"
Mr.. Ginty told the police that the owner of this marvellous conversation
aust made no effort t. sell the bird, but that he, Mr. Ginty, had asked If he
might buy it. The ma appeared reluctant to part with the parrot, but when
Mr. Ginty had raised the price until 1t was $50 the man consented to sell.
He babe the bird goodby and assured both Mr.. Ginty and the parrot that
the parting gave him great pain. He had reached the door when the parrot
looking after him called: Remember, boss If you ae such a cur that you'd
sell IN lie like this I'll never speak another word till o come back and get
me again."
Don't mind that" called the owner to Mr.. Gmty, hell get we his
Crouch" After which the owner vanished.
For five hours Mr.. Ginty tried Ito get a single intelligent word out of the
parrot. Then a customer dropped in and made a suggestion which sent Mr.
Ginty scurrying to the police station, parrot in hand.
1t appears that the nan who sold the parrot is a ventdoquist and has
broken cafe owners hearts in all five borOughs. The birds, far from being
well educated, Ire more of the other. They're speeches..
