WHEN OPTIMISM is DANGEROUS

lust SO soon as the grip epidemic shows

will relax the precautions which so far
have proved adequate to preserve them
from the misery and danger Of an attack.
Ever after the scourge has passed what
the doctors call its peak" when new
cases grow fewer and the danger seems
abated. the need for caution will be i'm
perative. Convalescents from the disease
often spread the infection unconsciously,
even after they seem TO have fully recov-
cred.
To be safe ii will be well to observe all
the familiar preventive measures for an
indefinite period.

Little Studies in Words
HANGAR

WHEN the airship advanced beyond the
w purely experimental stage and began
TO be used by adventurous spirits the word
hangar made its appearance in the news
papers. Those who had never seen II be
fore were able to gather from the context
that It referred to the building in which
the airship was housed. as a garage is the
stable for an automobile. The word, how.
ever. is only the common French term for
a shed for sheltering grain or farm tools.
If we had adopted an English instead of a
French term we should have spoken of
the airship shed.
The word mas a romantic history It's
root is the same as that OF angel. Every
one knows that angel is merely a modifi-
cation OF the Greek word for messenger
The ancient Romans sent messengers from
the capital to the military commanders

country. They built for themselves little
open shelters OF branches in which "a

angel was used to describe these open shell

The Republic Of Ararat

The announcement of the formation of
the independent republic of Ararat" will
brush away the fallacy which regards Ararat
as Just mountain. instead of a country.
albeit the very mountain on which the ark
rested when the waters of the deluge began
to abate. Genesis is explicit enough to have
prevented the mistake. It might be thought
1t says quite distinctly: THE ark rested
upon the mountains of Ararat" In it's day
Ararat was a great power holding sway
far to the east and to the west But to west
ern Europe Ararat has long been known as
the place where the dove first piucked the
olive leaf and returned with her message of
hope to the ark.--Christian Science Monitor.

ONE CAUSE OF DIRTY STREETS

A LII the blame that is being heaped
IA upon street-cleaning contractors whose
negligence helps to give epidemics like the
present one a good start and a stout
stronghold is deserved.
At the same time it might be well IL the
city would enforce the ordinances which
prohibit householders from making the
<treets. a dumping ground for refuse of all
sorts. In some sections the alleys and the
'roadways and the cutters are made the
daily disposal places of household refuse
The extent to which the police tolerate
that habit is apparent even in the center
Of the city.
Fines might serve to keep the streets a
.Nttle cleaner. A Jail sentence now and
then might help in the cases of people too
lsnorant or stubborn to cooperate in de.
sent precautions against the diseases which
turn upon them in the end to ravage their
families.

THE READERS VIEWPOINT
Guns on Merchant Ships

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-would you kindly answer the follow
ing inquiry? How many guns does the most
protected merchant ship carry plying between
United States and Great Lritain?
The reason / am asking is to convince a
fellow worker that he must be mistaken
when he swears that he. saw British
merchant ship coming up the Delaware show
ing sixteen guns. l said they must be wooden
ones probably to deceive submarines. the
construction of such a ship would, in my
estimation, be impossible; but i could not
convince him. BRiTiSHER.

LIE DID not sail from Bremen town
IL With blutwurst in his hold.
He did not plow the Weser down
For realms that were not old
He did not drive his sailors feet
Goose-steppng down the deck.
He did not gluttonously eat
Limburger, kraut und speck.
He did not sink ships off the coast,
Washed by the ocean blue
He did not make an evil boast
In 1892.
He did not reach San Salvador
With blood-lust in his mind.
He did not claim possession for
Gott's pal left far behind.
He did not swill gross stems of beer
(Though not averse to sherry.
He did not, after starting here
The first Atlantic ferry,
Sow seeds for national life that would
When Europe was blood red
Make Kultur's profits any good
To Bernstorff or Boy-Ed.
He did not do the things we said
He didn't. And today
When several million folk are glad
He came along our way.
Why is one land exempted from
Delight and gala glee?
Why is the scene more grimly glum
Than aught in history?
Why cannot bands roar down the shame
That halts all festal clatter?
