Standard for Husbands.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
We have before US the article
written by F. b. Acosta on the
ideal type of woman and the quail
ities that a perfect wife should
have. II is a splendid description
Of precious qualities of woman. II
is a nice thing for a man to delin-
cate very ably those heavenly quail
tiles 50 rare in these days.
What We want 10 say is that in
asmuch as Mr.. +. Il. Acosts. being
an able writer, has punctiliously
outlined the qualities OF an ideal
wife, that he would favor us by
giving us through the columns Of
The Herald the standard type Of a
perfect husband. giving in details
the qualities that a good husband
should possess.
Is il not reasonable and just. Mr..
r. 3. Acosta. that a husband should
possess the same sterling qualities
that would match those OF the wife
SO that the couple would he happy?
You have set a high standard type
for wife. can we not claim the same
standard for husband2
This is vital subject that surely
interests the woman readers of The
Herald. and we look forward TO a
sincere oninion Of the gentleman
who precip:tated and invited our
curiosity. trustin~ that he would
give us the heneht Of his intellect
on the matter.

Excess of Population.

ITALY, her latest census shows, has a popula-
tion OF nearly 100000.
During the past ten years, despite devastating
war and epidemic, 100000 souls have been
added to the list of King Victor Emmanuers sub
jects.
All these must living from a territory
less in extent than that of number of American
States. No small portion OF this is mountainous
and unfit for agriculture. 1t includes uncultivated
stretches of swamp land. Some sections of the
peninsula are almost unnhabtable during the sum-
months.
Is it any wonder that the average Italian peas
ant is very poor indeed?
Intensive agriculture in Italy has been devel-
oped to an extent exceeded in few other European
countries. The nations industrial life affords open
ings for millions. Yet considering the question
from the viewpoint of American experience, does it
not seem impossible for SO small land to support
so many inhabitants?
AT the same time in South America Australia
Siberia and some parts of Africa there stretches
OF territory almost as large as Italy which support
only handful of human beings They are as
heathful, as general rule, any part OF Southern
Europe.
Does it not appear illogical that so many hu-
mans should be hivcd together in one little corner
OF the world while virgin territory pleads for the
hand of man,
Italy is not an exception in Europe. The whole
continent, with the possible exception of Russia is
overpopulated.
Yet the great mass of peasants hesitate to fare
forth to any land except the United States where
they know all the comforts of civilization await
them-and where they are not particularly welcome
in large numbers just at present They seem to
prefer their low standards of living to the
venture and opportunity OF pioneers
Is it any wonder that Europe must have a war
every now and then to get rid of some of the
excess?

There still capable scientists in Russia, we
are glad to learn. No government, however poor,
ruin entirely the genius of people while
scholars and laboratory workers are able to func-
ton. The best laid plans OF statesmen and parties
are temporary and of little avail compared with
the silent, far reaching studies of scientists.
The news from Moscow contains another trib-
ute to the genius of woman. The combined intu-
ton and patience of the sex has enabled members
to take high rank in the pursuit of exact science.
Women achieve victories along such lines
quite frequently. Search for the typhus germ has
engaged the energies of famous physicians for many
years and has been looked upon as an almost hope
less task The best remedies this dread plague in
the past have been preventive rather than cura-
tive. Much has been accomplished in the line Of
sanitary precautions. But when patient developed
positive symptoms Of typhus doctors have realized
that his fate rested in their hands longer.
DIR. kraitsch labored for two years in the heart
OF typhus-ridden country in an effort to isolate
the germ. That she at last succeeded will be joy
tul news throughout the scientific world. One more
citadel OF ignorance the plague has fallen before

Death in Car Tokens.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

10 the EDITOR. The Washington Herald:
Or. r. w. Shufeldt has performed
worthy public service by furnish
ing the Omen Court with informa-
tion showing that the street car
token is a public menace by trans
mitting contagious disease TO the
carrier on account of its construc-
ton. II his contention is true, and
there is no doubt as to his sincerity
in the matter. the token should be
abolished without delay. and steps
should be Immediately taken by the
citizens associations in the Dis
trict toward that end.
In addition to the medical side of
this matter I would like to bring up
another phase of the subject and
show other sufTicient reasons why
the token should be done away
with. AT the present time one is
obliged to buy six tokens for 40
cents. The passenger is actually
paying in advance for five fares
which he may never take advan-
tage of. This applies particularly
to persons who are transients in
the District. They give the con-
ductor a bill and he returns six
tokens with change. have seen
conductors do this even when pas
sengers stated they did not want
tokens. This occurred to me At one
time when I handed the conductor
so cents and told him I didn't want
t"Eers. In his "agerness to sell
tokens to me against my wishes h
gave me six tokens and 20 cents In
change instead OF 10 cents Did !
return the excess change? may

Of token which I signed for tive
years ago when dropped an sddi-
tiCnaI one in the box by mistake
The sneaky little tokens have 2
wav of falling out OF your hands
and are seldom recovered when
lost That's another thing in ia
vor of the car companies II would
be interesting to see the figures
show 'ng the number of tokens los
by persons annually. The loss of
one token by a passenger means a
gain Of 8 cents to the company plus
tHe nr"spects of your buying an
additional token in the future to
cover your lost fare.
"l'uy tokens and save time" is a
Misrepresentation. II takes longer
to tumble for a token than tn hand
over cash fare. and the cash fare

Compliments Editorials.

10 the Editor. The Wash ngton Herald:
Your editorial page is a liberal
education for anyone. Scholars
have done so much for the world
in research In all branches OF
science. Our greatest need just
now is TO know how to best apply
II for further growth and ad-
vancement. A great student was
heard to say to one of very sim
pie but practical knowledge on
many subjects: Il have full
library that contains information
on every known subject. but g.,
Goes not give me the ability to
put II into the simple coinage OF
every day life" It is this di-
versity of interest and talent
which makes the bond between
all human relations. As we were
all taught in our kindergarten
days our mighty ocean and pleas
ant land" are made of little drops
OF water and little grains OF
restless little molecules working
in harmony together. Another
plea for the "happer" Our mean
ing given for Flap" is a hinged

Of the tree of life" she IL but
result OF modern evolution. The
modern family tree is not what IL
was in the days OF our fore
fathers. The same law Of cause
and effect apply to all changes in
every age. Woman has been forced
through new conditions to adapt
herself to her new, place in the
world. Man wanted a pal" She
is doing her best to provide him
with one.
An athletic girl who has to be
scrambling for stray hsirpins to
gather up unruly locks of hair
every round in the game is un-
fairly handicapped. II she does
not quite suit with her boldness
and painted face. we all agree she
is less of an evil than the veiled
harem would be.
Prize fighters and heroes" may
be both. The man who has the
strength OF lion and can use il
like a lamb" is a more wonderful
type than god" who has no
more power than "grsven

made of the same material that
all 1neN
are trained men who never break
moral or physical law. Our
college professors realize what an
incentive the game is to moral and
physical well being. The success
ful actor OF today is learning the
same rules of clean living are just
as essential TO keep his mind and
body in prime condition. He does
not need the muscular develop
