DIG pictures arc made of little
I'D ssvecps and daubs Of paint. Big,
scide neutrality-suspicious. some
times are made up of little jottings and
fashings Of men and things. The zcar
"over there" is really collection of er
periences through rvhich millions of men
and rOonsen are going IN various ways.
1t is made up of hozcitsers and food
shortage, of trenches and hospitals, of
sOonsen avho sag .goodby" to their
men with a smile on their faces, and of
men rOho go bravely into hel1-fre over

things IS this z0ar made up. 1t is made
up of English girls zcorking IN big mu-
milton plants zchere they sOear rubber
shoes to keep from bIozcing themselves

station, Of brave men zcho go up over

raiders, Of nurses zrho care for men who
may l;ve and zOho mag die and of silent
folk zrho go zcithout the food they used
to knoz0 about. uncomplaining and reso-
lutte. and it is made up of thouamd
other things, some of z0hich don't look
as if they had any relation to zar.
Here are some little flashes at Just a
fe70 Of the things that zoe sac wh;le we
zyent through Britain and France-a
tour lasting 1ive aOeeks, in zVhich zoe sac
and sazU until our eyes ached zCith see
ing and oar minds baked at taking IN
any more Of the multitude of strange
Impressions.
The war is as near to New York as it
is to Paris. The fighting is not. If it were
you would see something like this:
The lions that flank the Public Library
entrance would be covered with sandbags.
The statue of Ben Franklin down by City
Hall would no longer stand as a visible
symbol of meditation and wisdom. You
would see yellow pile of irregular shape
protection against bombs and bits of
shrapnel. They would be taking the glass
out of the most precious of the art win
dows in the cathedrals and churches.
Queer criss-crosses Of paper would turn
shop windows into checkerboards, so that
when the flying bits of iron came splinter
ing through them the glass wouldn't fly
in large quantities.
In Washington Square the great arch
would be lost tosview under a protecting
structure of wood and sandbags or brush.
There would be signs near every subway
approach and near every basement door.
On these signs would be an arrow and this
inscription, Bomb shelter; SO people," or
whatever number the place might accom-
modate. Now and then a structure. would
be closed to the public-wrecked by
bomb, as is st. Gervais's Church, in Paris,
where on Good Friday u shell from the
supercannon came hurting against a huge
pillar, killing 1o7 as they prayed. bit
OF stone Clipped out Of the Municipal
Building would show where a crippled air
plane had crashed into the structure while
trying to make a landing in the inadequate
space near the bridge approach.
And the visitor would be told about how
things used to be before the Germans came
so near. But the fortitude Of liberty-loy-
ing humanity would be just as evident in
New York as it is in Paris, let us hope.

PASSING THE BUCK

n. e. DEARHoLT., M D., DIRECTOR

De,r Sir: Can you send liturature and a
typewriter lie; ter to Mr. Blank, of this city, in
regard to tuberculosis? He has bad case and
expectorates not only in his own yard, but on
every one elsa. in town. We eighbOrs are
very anxious to have this splitting" stopped as
it endangers all our lives. I've reported it to
the health commissioner but he is inactive con-
corning the case. Please tell Mr. Blank to get
paper bags and spit in them. Or have you a
receptacle you can send him?
typewriter, personal letter, tactfully writ
ten, might accomplish wonders. CITIZEN.
This is typical of considerable mum
Der of unsigned requests sent to us.
Our pleasure in receiving such evil
d. noes of awakening public consciousness
on the part of our correspondents is not
unmixed with considerable amusement
over the desire to pass dsagreeable
job along to the next in line.
We are not much more anxious to in
cur the displeasure, or to hurt the feel
ings of this disease germ spreader than
is our anonymous correspondent or the
health officer who has ignored his
sworn duty. Furthermore, it is an ex
ceedingly difficult job to tell a man, in
tactfnl manner, that he is personally
dangerous and Objectionable citizen
and neighbor.
This case illustrates the difficulty = if
not impossib ility-of overcoming, to
anv great extent individual violations
of health laws by the use Of a police
mans club. The. complaining witness
does not wish to be known. The police
man does not wish to ''get in bad' with
neighbor Therefore, everybody most
directly and personally affected prefers
to take chance on being the victim of
offensive and dangerous habits rather
than to appear to be offensive.
A generally awakened public opinion
will accomplish more in curbing care
less and dangerous spitters than any
thing else. Consider the manner in
which gasolineless Sundays were OBJ
served. No law was ever better OBJ
severed than this request, backed up
by patriotic public opinion. Let US
make careless splitting as questionable
as woman's five year old hat. Then
consumptives and other victims of spit.
borne diseases will cease jeopardizing
the lives of their neighbors.
