sCANDALOUs WASTE.

1t would seem to ordinary common-sense citi-
zens who make no pretentions to craftsmanship
as though a better use might be found for forty
seven thousand automobiles than to let them
rust and rot into uselessness. The people paid
for them and the government has now no use
for them; but Secretary Baker insists on keep
ing them, though most of them, exposed to the
weather. are deteriorating very fast. Some
thing over eleven thousand of these machines
are touring cars and it is said that sixty-two Of
them have been sold some of them for about
what their nearly new tires cost Possibly that
was all that they were worth, SO greatly had
they deprecated for lack of housing and care.
But if SO, the rest of them will never be worth
any more than they are today, and the sooner
they are sold the better.
1t is denounced in congress as scandalous
state of affairs. Brigadier General Drake tes-
titled before house committee that. four hum
dred and seventy communications had gone
from his Office to the sales bureau OF the war
department. but that Director Hutchinson, or
that bureau, sent them back with the comment
that he 'sdid not care for any Instructions on
this matter" Evidently he is carrying out
Secretary Bakers orders and, feeling secure i'll
his backing, is pursuing the same policy with
reference to automobiles that was pursued with
reference to food. Congress had to force the
war department before it would put pound of
foodstuffs on the market, the department pre-
ferring, seemingly, to keep them till they spoil
ed.
There are plenty of buyers for secondhand
touring cars, and if these eleven thousand
which are weathering at Camp Holabird and
elsewhere brought only three hundred dollars
apiece, that would seem to be worth saving. It
appears almost incredible that the war depart
ment could take the position that it does But
apparently there are powerful interests in the
country which oppose the marketing of these
machines, just as there was fierce and persist
ent opposition to the sale of food.

FROM WEST TO EAST.

I Spokane Spokesman-Reyiew Take
almost any of the great moral ques-
tons and you will find that they begin
to stir up the east anywhere from a
month to couple of years after the
west has got through with them. It
was that way with prohibition, which
originated in the west (for Maine
doesn't count, and 1t was that way
with the various scandalous ballroom
dances which have been first encui ed,
then pitied. then embraced.
Another instance is the great moral
Question of whether women should
wear stockings with their bathing cos
tunes. 1t is safe to assert that there
has not been stocking worn by a
woman bather at any lake, beacn,
|natatoriurn, creek or duckpound on the
Pacific slope for at least two years,
nor have long sleeves, high necks and
voluminous skirts Jared much better.
Yet the subject of stockings and
correlated articles Of aquatic apparel
is a very live one this summer from
Chicago eastward. If you are Il
woman on the beach at Atlantic city
you have to wear stockings, and they
must be full length, too, and not even
peek-aboo. The Coney Island rules
are much the same. Chicago inclines
a bit more toward the liberal side, but
has numerous hawk-eyed functionaries
to suppress inadequacies in attire. In
fact, at every eastern water resort
there Is continual warfare between
the limb of the law and the hickory
limb, with all odds on the former.
The women's bathing costume OF
the west, differing in no essential par
ticular from the mems, would have no
more chance in the east than the
SNOWFALL of legend in the internal re-
gions. Why? Perhaps there is soiu-
ton in the fact that when western
women go swimming they swim.

FUTURE OF THE TROLLEY LINES.

The street and interurban railways OF the
country are facing a dark and troubled future,
or so at least the secretary of the Indiana pub
lie service commission tells the federal commits
sion. Motor bus competition is hurting them,
and the cost of operation has so increased while
the difficulty Of raising fares is so great that
promoters of the roads are discouraged over
their investment
In the cities of the country generally the OPP
position to an advance in fares comes from the
with their hands. Yet, it would seem, these are
the very people, and almost the only class OF
people, to whom efficiently operated trolley sys-
TENS are Indispensable. What chance would
there be for a man of limited means to get q
home or roof to cover him at any price that
he could pay except that the trolley opens the
suburbs and lessons the pressure the centers
of population7 The trolley alone can give the
worker who wants it a home, door yard or
garden of his own. Trolley companies that do
not prosper do not extend their lines but are
often forced to restrict their service, at which
a great outcry is raised But it is the man of
moderate means who suffers most by this re-
striction or inability to extend. The trolley is
his motor car which never costs him anything
for repairs; and while he pays in pennies, and
naturally does not want to be overcharged, the
service tkat it renders him is measured in dol
lars instead of cents. No city can prosper un-
less its trolleys do; and they are like some other
benefits and blessings that we come to take for
granted as ours by right and never really APP
preciate until they are gone cease to serve
us as they did.

MOTION PICTURE EDUCATION.

Use of motion pictures In pubic school edn-
cation is I'D for discussion in New York City
and there is such interest in the matter engag-
ing both educators and picture producers
that experiments are probable to deter
mine the best mode of procedure to get what IS
needed. No one questions the potential value OF
motion pictures as a help to education; the PIC
lures have educated vast public, not always
usefully, but with no room for doubt OF EN-
cheney. Now direct use Of them is proposed
and it will be made sooner or later
One fact will be recognized when the brains
of educators are set to the planning: that PIC
t,,.es must be made to coordinate with the I'M
mediate lessons the pupils are learning. Al
ready DR.. Ettinger, superintendent OF the New
York CITY schools, foreshadows this IN the
statement that the real education is the product
of teaching and that the teacher is the most I'M
,,o,tant INIT. The teacher will find patent help
when nictr1res are furnished that directly bear
IN the matter presented to the class. For in
stance. geography is to the average child sub
iact remote from actual visualized experience.
Pictures can supply this actual v1suahzed eS'
,,arience But lot of miscellaneous pictures,
while of themselves excellent, may result only
IN q confused and desultory progress in the sub
iect. IF series of pictures were made co-ordl-
Mating closely with the text the pupil studies
and following the routine presentation or the
subject. a real educational help would be pro-
duced In other sub jects the pictures might
furnish vivid means of impressing, the pupil
with facts that he or she assimilate by the
eve. the best medium for producing lasting I'M
pressions.
It is when motion pictures are prepared as il
