SOME USEFUL HINTS.

At this time OF the year most
~girls are thinking about their win
ter evening frocks, and many are
asking, "Are sleeves to be worn
this year," and How long will
the skirts be?"
Most evening gowns have no
sleeves at all. but of course the
girl whose arms are too thin or
too fat simply must put in chiffon
or at least a little tulle in the in
terests of her own vanity But the
girl who can go without sleeves
must consider ways of removing
hair from under the arms.
She can use a dipilatory powder;
any number OF reliable brands are
for sale at the drug stores Unfor-
tunately most of them have bad
odor, but there is no trace of this
when the powder has been washed
off. Perhaps the easiest thing for
her to do is to learn to shave. 1t
isn't bit difficult; it's quicker
and in the end less expensive. y

handle than the fashioned sort.

The San Antonio Flood.

The flood at San Antonio, which has
cost, it Is estimated, 500 lives and q
property loss mounting into millions,
comes unusually late in the season. It
is exceptional to find q disaster Of
this character coming in September.
The cause was an unprecedented rain
fall which began Wednesday night and
continued for more than forty.eight
hours, with a total fall Of about eight
inches. The drainage system was un-
equal to the discharge Of this extraor.
dinary volume. and the union Of the
waters Of creeks tributary to the San
Antonio river caused an overfiowing
Of the banks with a suddenness that
prevented the escape Of great num-
bers.
In an emergency Of this kind the
country always stands ready to render
aid. There is as yet no definite call
for assistance, and relief works may
not be necessary, though when COM
munity the size Of San Antonio Is
stricken it Is hard for it to attend at
once to its own wants. Fortunately,
there is little danger Of extreme cold
in that locality. and the homeless suf-
ferers are not likely to be exposed to
severe weather. as would be the case
in more northerly city.
There Is no known way to prevent
these disasters. When a dam breaks
fault may be laid at the doors Of the
engineers who built it or the authori-
ties who maintained 1t. When the
clouds open, however, and let down
such enormous volumes Of water as
fell in the San Antonio district for two
days and nights. no works Of man can
prevent disaster. And in q situation Of
this kind those who dwell within the
zone Of danger are loath to leave their
homes, hoping constantly for sub
sidence Of the waters. Sometimes they
have no chance to flee, for the flood
comes with an unheralded rush. It Is
stated that the greater part Of the de-
struction at San Antonio occurred in
the Mexican section Of the city, from
which escape was made dihicult by the
overflowing Of the banks Of a creek.
Probably the houses in that section
were Of a less substantial character
and went down readily when the flood
reached them.

Elihu Root.

Mr.. Root is seventy-six. and declares
that he Is an old man entitled to re-
pose. The country will not have it SO.
Work is still found for him. and he is
assigned to it. Whenever large and
difficult questions arise and opinions
In eminent quarters are sought he is
asked for his, and when he gives 1t
the public marks and digests it. Even
when it does not prevail. It never fails
to add by its force to the zest Of the
discussion.
Theodore Roosevelt, who knew him
we'll from both personal and official
relations. said Of Mr.. Root that he was
the best qualified man for public busi-
ness he had ever met. The praise was
high, because spoken when Mr.. Roose.
welt. after years spent in the public
service. had reached the presidency Of
the United States.
Let US try Mr.. Root by this appraise.
ment in the situation that exists today.
He would fit perfectly into any one Of
several cabinet places. Having served
with distinction in both the State and
the War departments, he could MI
either post at present with equal &C.
ceptability. Having as legal adviser
had to do for years with large fnan.
cial affairs, he would make a great
Secretary Of the Treasury, and as the
recognized leader Of the American bar
he would make a great Attorney Gen.
eral.
May it not be said. too, with perfect
safety that he would make a great
President Of the United States? He
has the grasp Of affairs that goes with
the office. and an executive faculty
that would insure prompt dispatch Of
all White House business.
But he has missed the chief prize.
Strong in SO many particulars. he has
lacked the Combination" necessary in
national conventions when contending
ambitions have produced a deadlock,
and all sides Of q man entered into
consideration in connection with a sue

quickly, thanks to the wide streets
and the freedom, from the heavy traffic
congestioiis that impede the progress
Of the fire fighters in other cities There
are no overhead electric wires. Condi-
tions are most favorable for reaching
and fighting fires. II Chief Watson's
proposal were carried into effect the
average loss per alarm would probably
be cut down materially, even from the
present low point. For with a box in
every block the alarm could be rung
for any fire In any part Of the city In
the least possible number Of seconds
after discovery. The difference Of two
or three minutes In getting water on q
blaze may mean the difference Of many
thousands Of dollars in the degree of
destruction.
In most cases in this city the
heaviest loss is caused by water, not
by flames. In many instances. how
ever, the fire is extinguished with the
use Of chemical apparatus. which
causes little damage. Every half min
ute saved in the turning in of an alarm
increases the opportunity for using
this apparatus effectively.
The expenditure, Of $225.oeo for a
thousand more boxes would be one of
the best investments In security the
District government could possibly
make. and 1t Is to be hoped that this
proposal will receive consideration,
even though it may not be possible
to make the installation in one year.
If $50 new boxes were added annually
instead Of twenty, which has been the
recent rate Of increase. the city would
be properly equipped in a few years.

Training School Escapes.

There is evidently something wrong
at the National Training School for
Girls, from which twenty-three In
mates have escaped within two
months. These escapes have been in
three lots, and in each case there was
evidence Of organization and possibly
some aid from outside. In one in
stance there was no doubt that aid was
given from beyond'the walls. The con.
ditions at the institution should be
given especial scrutiny by the board
of charities and the Commissioners. If
the accommodations are not sufficient
other arrangements must be made for
the care Of the inmates. If the dis
cipline is lax changes should be effect,
ed. II there is mischievous interfer-
school that harmful factor should be
checked. This institution is a train
ing school, not merely reform
school," The girls sent there are held
as students rather than as prisoners.
but it is necessary to keep them under
restraint. Some OF them are under
sentence for misconduct. II the condi-
tions are such as to make them want
to escape, even at the risk Of physical
injury, evidently the school is not full
filling its proper function in the best
manner. If it is impossible to conduct
the institution upon the basis Of a
school for all Of the inmates there
should be separation into classes and
the removal to another environment
Of those who are obdurate and undis-
ciplined. To keep such as these in the
same establishment with girls who are
sincerely endeavoring to improve
themselves is to harm the latter
through bad example. The three flights
from the school premises constitute a
symptom that requires careful study.

Summer Nearly Over.

Weather bureau reports indicate the
end Of summer. Freezing tempera-
lures have occurred in Montana and
Wyoming, and the cool wave is NOV.
ing eastward at a rate that 1t Is ex-
pected will cause a decided drop in
temperature here next week. After the
18th of the month there Is little hkeli.
hood of a recurrence Of hot days, and
so If this western wave materializes 1t
may be assumed that this is about the
end Of the season.
1t has been q hot summer in this
city, though no hotter here than else
where. There have been days Of al
most unbearable heat, days following
days of official maximums Of ninety
four to ninety-six degrees and CORE
spondingly hot nights. July was about
as bad a month as has ever been
known here. But there was relief and
respite in early August. and during
that period the city was q delightful
place in which to live. Then came the
late August and early September burst
of heat that made those returning from
vacations sigh for the seashore and
the mountains and the lakes and the
farms they had left. Fortunate. in.
deed, has been the Washingtonian who
left in June to return the middle Of
September.
Weather pessimists are prone to pre-
dict an early fall and q severe winter.
This always happens after hot sum.

ture is sure to make her compensatfng

fact a mild winter frequently follows
a hot summer, and it is by no means
assured on the score Of the heat Of
July and early August and September
that October VIII be raw and chill, and
that snow viii fly at Thanksgiving,
and that the Potomac viii freeze in
December. The truth Of the matter Is
that this, as Lord Dundreary said, is
one Of those things that mo fellow can

German High Cost of Study.

The fall of the mark. with all the
advantages to travellers in Germany
from countries whose exchange is
good, is once more proving disastrous
to those of the native population liv-
ing on fixed incomes or on no In
comes at all. And chief among these
are the struggling students Of both
sexes, who may well be said to have
chosen the worst period in history to
start an intellectual career. says the
Berlin correspondent Of the London
Observer. Though quite willing to
undertake any employment In their
spare time-one occasionally finds
future doctors Of medicine as street.
sweepers and girl students as char
women, between lectures-the jobs
right moment
1t is then that what has rightly
been described as the most wonderful
relief movement in Europe steps in.
Among all the holiday-makers, with
bright faces busy calculating marks
in pounds and dollars, little band is
starting out actually willing to give
and not to receive, and doing in an
. unassuming way more political good
than the rest of the world dream OF.
There are young English undergrad
yates collecting in Swiss and English
holiday resorts for the Worlds Stu
dent Christian Federation; and this
mutual aid, from student to student,
distributed judiciously in Germany
and Austria today. has restored more
faith in humanity and the future OF
central Europe, apart from the happy
hunting ground of those desirous of
cheap excursions, than any other ''re-
lief" yet started. The brotherhood of
all working to a common end, and
that end no pecuniary one. is being
brought nearer to the fncipient conti-
mental communist in q way little
dreamed of, and many of the cerebral
products Of starving bodies grow
aoupder In cnnsanuence.
