To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: New

ago. 1t Is undoubtedly far more hui

was that city.
Probably the war and a common suf-
fcring and a common pride during those
ntirring times have done much to knit
the city closer together. But the CEN

GET THE HOOK"
Pompeli Used the Expression Twenty
Centuries Before New York.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
expression Get the hook" which be-
came a byword when. amateur night
was a popular diversion in the flourish
ing vaudeville days. Is, like many things
under the sun, not new.
In "Pompeii" by NOR, on page 4S2.
Is a reference to "graffiti,' Something's
on walls found extensively on buildings
excavated at Pompeii, the city tragi-
cally buried alive some 1000 years ago.
One of these scratched writings refers
to a partisan fight among the throng
gathered TO witness one of the CORY
Roman exhibitions in the circus or am
phltheatre at Pompeit.
II seems that the Pompeiians, who
were friends of the Pithecusans, had en-
gagged In this fight against the Nuce-
rams. friends of the Puteolaneans. AZ
ter the battle royal some one. who has
been dead twenty centuries. scratched
on stone the words which remain to-
day and translated read: 'Hurrah for
the Puteolaneans good luck to all Nu-
cerians: a hook for the Pompeiians and
Pithecusans"
The historian records that the hook
referred to was that used by execution
ers and the attendants of the amphi-
theatre In dragging off the dead. This
expression. then. has come right down
tho ages with the one meanins-draS-
cling the dead ones off the stage.

Pedestrians In Nassau Street Don't

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: II

far more pleasant these hot days for

cause they were run into or delayed

No better example OF the Importance
of the rule OF keeping TO the right can
be had than Is the every day rush hour
condition OF Nassau street At that
time foot travel on the narrow street
Is slow and vexatious. not so much be-
cause the street is narrow as because
the rule is not followed by more than

suit is that one has TO keep ones mind
and feet active all the time TO avoid
running into people coming in the op-
posite direction. And often the hands
must be kept active, too, and be used
as bumpers to ward of rushing pedes-

THE COST OF UNIFORMS.
Newly Graduated Marine. Officers
Obliged to Spend $500 Each.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: The
recent graduation Of over 230 marines
as Second Lieutenants has aroused much
comment as to why these men were
put to an average expense of s300-at
least-at graduation when the APP
pointive authorities knew the graduates
were to be put Immediately upon the
inactive list without pay. or perhaps
one months pay year.
Thus $4,000 has been thrown to the
military tailors and furnishers. which
sum would have been of inest!mable
assistance to these officers while en-
deavoring to obtain positions for their
own and their families support.
On the morning of the graduation
exercises at ouantico and for some time
prior to that date it was common
knowledge that these men would be
thrown on the beach," to use sailors
phrase when out of occupation.
These graduates worked hard against
many difficulties TO obtain their COM
missions. Their relatives made sacri-
fees to furnish money for necessary
expenses during the course of instruc
ton and at graduation.
lnelr motto, we never SURRENDER,
has been fully exemplified. to the death
in many cases.
1t behooves Congress and the country
to show appreciation and gratitude by
providing every one of these men, the
graduates and those who failed to pass.
with suitable occupation at n Second
Lieutenant's pay. and reimbursing them
fer the unnecessary expense by which
the tradesmen reaped a harvest.
If we wish to keep these trained
men available for immediate use-look
ing at it from a purely selfish stand
point-they must be treated not only
fairly but generously. Unless this is
done. this our finest body of fighters,
will become scattered and all the work
of their faithful instructors lost.
note thousands OF new piacards
posted about the city encouraging and
begging men TO enlist In the marines.
The enlisting officers hold out most
alluring prospects Of advancement. With
such incidents as the above mentioned
can the Department really expect am
bilious men to swallow the bait? II
this recruiting is successful who is TO
officer them? SAlLoRMAN.
