WY AsHINGToN makes a
" sacred rite of lunching.
The midday meal means

others make the dinner hour su-

quite regularly, with more or less
formality-but perfunctorily. Tea
is a pleasant time when one may
drop in casually for a cup and a
small cake or two at some hotel
or friends fireside. Dinner is,
generally, a bore. One endures
and eagerly anticipates the demi
tasse as the end of the ordeal.
But luncheon is a different mat
ter. One has but to observe the
men and women lunching at any
hotel or restaurant any day in
Washington. Their faces reflect
the festive mood Of the hour. The
women. conscious OF looking their
best, glance casually but interest
edly around. The men, as interest
their luncheon and the crowd.
The hotels. restaurant and tea
rooms are crowded at the sacred
hour. And not only are the rites
reserved for the business man or
woman, snatChing a few minutes
from crowded desks for hurried
bites. From the residential sec.
tions society maids and matrons
flock downtown at the luncheon
hour. A few may prefer to observe
the midday meal in the privacy
OF their own homes, but the ma.
jority seek the crowded hotels or
public dining places.
Momentous affairs have been
decided over the luncheon table in

EDUCATING THE YOUNG

When anyone discusses an old problem from new angle the novel, ty of it accentuates its simplicity. We wonder at once why the matter has not been viewed in that light before.
 There has been much discussion over the matter of education and the place the colleges and universities should take in the lives of men and women There has been deal said about teachers and the lack of them. But it has remained. as far as we are advised, for the head of the Iowa state teachers college to emphasize what he considers to be a fact, that the greatest educational problem of today is to be found in the elementary schools, the centers for training the masses, and not in the colleges. Every attempt for the improvement of the elementary schools he says, has in mind the necessities of higher education more than the effective training of the children of American people for real efficiency"
 We all knew this had we but stop ped to think. Yet it has not been put forcibly before the people. Certainly the most important part of education, the part which should be perfected, is that part which gives to the young their start in using the mind. The brains Of the young are like sponges which 'are almost dry; they are ready to absorb information of all sorts. Especial care should be taken to see to it that they are taught to use those sponges correctly, and that the spong- es are not placed near something which will be absorbed and which will do the sponge no good nor the owner of the sponge. Possibly college pro- fessors are too narrow in human in- stincts to become wise teachers of the young, but it is submitted that there is infinite wisdom, knowledge and tact needed to teach the young properly to aid and not harm the sensitive minds which are ready to be made wonderful reservoirs of useful knowl- edge, or which may so easily be spoil ed.

THE SEWER PROBLEM

A proper compromise seems to have been reached in the sewer matter. It would be almost foolhardy to spend some s20,0o0 to fill in trenches al- ready dug-money that would be practically wasted-merely for the sake of not spending more money now which will be spent eventually. For the taxpayers of the second taxing district would have to help pay for the sewer that would eventually be built in accordance with the present plans, if that sewer was delayed until such a time as the sections to be benefited come within the boundaries of the enlarged second taxing district.
 If there was mistake made, which is not admitted, it was made when the improvement that would benefit the first taxing district es- pecally, was begun. Now that it has progressed thus far it should not be abandoned at such cost merely to save taxpayers in the second district amounts which, were the delay to be allowed would have to come from them eventually.
 The discussion of the situation, and consideration of the point raised by President Chamberlain of the board of finance and taxation, has considerable value. AS he says the public is not generally informed as to the two tax ing districts. This matter presents the situation more clearly and should rouse interest in the study in regard to increasing the area of the second taxing district. The decision to con- tinue the work until 1t may be dis asptiuusd temporarily without an out

KIND HEARTS

Pennsylvania has a law prohibiting aliens from owning dogs. Dick, a dog, was owned by an alien. Someone complained about Dick. He was or dered shot, probably as the easiest way Of seeing that the law was not violated, Of course, if Dick died the alien could not own him.
 But there were people in the com- munity who liked Dick, There were two little girls, daughters of Dicks owner, who loved him. They all crowd ed into the court room to protest against the killing of Dick. After all, they felt it was not Dicks fault that some one, perhaps in ignorance. had disobeyed a law Dick knew nothing about. Probably Dick obeyed all the dog laws he understood. At any rate a lot of people thought he did, and those two little girls knew he did. Their tears, shed in court over Dick, testified better than words to Dicks good behavior.
 The magistrate, sworn to enforce the law, fined the man because he had broken tho law in owning Dick, but he gave the dog over to the care of society who cares for dogs Kind hearts saved Dicks life Dick would probably be glad 10 do the same for them if he had the chance.
 Dick was in danger because he did not know the law. He did his best to be a good dog. The pathos comes in the hopelessness Of his position.
 There are people in the world whose position is almost as hopeless as that of Dick. There are people who don't care at all about those un- fortunates. They are too busy with their own duties and interests. There are other people who have kind hearts and who are interested in those un- fortunates. They work to help them, to educate them. Thank God for those others.

ist' LID

The wisdom Of investing in building Tn New Britain has been pointed out in these columns, Now come statistics showing coneluskely that this city of fers a better feld for this investment than any othe, nelshboring city of about the same Slze.
 New Britain residences are more crowded than homes in any other of the five remaining cities Of the state having a population between 2b,00O and 100000, There arc a7 persons to a dwelling here, while Waterbury, the nearest in point of number to q house, has but 7s persons to each dwelling, Stamford, Merden, New London and Norwalk follow.
 Leaving aside the point that manu- featuring in this city Is resuming its activity, and the figures here given will probably grow as this activity in- creases, it may be seen that a city where more people are housed in one building than in other cities of op- proXimately the same size. offers greater opportunity in the building line than cities where there are com paratively few people to each dwell ing, There is no question but that new homes would be taken were those houses to be erected Again it may be said that the chance for wise in- yestment in this field is here. .."

SITUATION STILL UNCHANGED HERE
New Haven Road Strikers Making
 No Trouble

New Haven, July 5.--Strike condi- tons on the N. Y. N, H. X H. railroad here and at other shop centers in this state were unchanged today, The operating management of the sys tenn in a statement last night, claimed that train service yesterday in freight and passenger departments was nor mal.

The committees named to look after details of the strike here did not re- port but it is understood that they will be under the direction of the executive committee of the local strike body which will meet each day. The general meeting of the strikers here will be held only twice weekly from now on unless Chair man Ready desires to address the men on some unexpected develop ment.
 It was reported during the meeting that the railroad management yes terday hired 100 men to fill places at the East Hartford shops and that of these only two men reported for work today It was said by the shop men that 200 men had, been engaged in Bridgeport and had been brought to the Cedar Hill shops.
 No Trouble Reported.
 MT Ready said that he had heard of no trouble of any kind on the sys- tenn in spite of reports of slight dis turbances and of train accidents. One report here was that there had been trouble at the Cedar Hill yards but MT. Ready said there was nothing to the story. The Cedar Hill police pre- cinct reported that nothing was known of any incident which would have given rise to the story.
 At the meeting it was understood that attention was directed to the fact that foremen in the shops had gone out These employees, it was stated, are doing work of the shop men. The strikers have hopes they said. that the foremen would also go out although their wage has not been cut under the decision of the labor board
