Clothes for C0nyaIescents.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: At pres
ent the wards OF Bellevue Hospital arc
extremely crowded with an unusual
number OF pneumonia and influenza
cases who when discharged should be
sent to the country for convalescent
care if their cure Is to be complete.
Owing to the very large number of
men out of employment this winter the
majority OF these cases come into the
Social Service Bureau TO be equipped
with proper clothing before being sent
to the country. ] hope that some OF
your readers may be able to help us in
this situation, which we no longer have
the resources to meet We badly need
warm clothing of all kinds, especially
underclothes and overcoats, or money
with which to buy them.
Contributions sent to Miss Mary E
Wadley. Social Service Bureau, Belle
vue Hospital, will be gratefully re-
ceived. MARGARET S. TRuEspAr.E,
Chairman General Welfare Committee

Erie and the St. Lawrence River the
cost is estimated at $1,294, 900, 900.
The investment, it is calculated,
would yield an income of $416, ZOO, 900
over fixed charges. or this invest
ment more than $4OO. 100000 repre-
sents plants and facilities already
existing. These plants are not to be
scrapped; they would remain integral
parts of the greater system under the
control of their owners.
The entire power area would be
organized in separate unit systems,
each with it's own load centers. The
load centers would be interconnected
so that power might be shifted from
any center to any other without loss
Of time. The various unit systems
would be similarly connected by tie
lines.
The estimates Of the commission
indicate that with the completion of
the system in the smaller area the
yearly saving would be $3.50, ,000, 900;
in the extended area planned for 1880
it is estimated at $3.50, 100000.

does not of course always rest on
automobile drivers. A liberal per-
centage must be allowed for individ-
ual carelessness. But even when this
deduction is made the death and in
Jury toll to be charged against care
less and incompetent driving is still
formidable one. Possibly the edu'
cational effect of the mathematical
problem proposed might have some
restrictive tendency. But the work
ing out of that problem involves rea-
soning faculties and a basic sense of
personal responsibility. The motor
driver who is drunk or under the
sway of speed mania has neither.
The only way to reach the place in
his mental and moral anatomy where
the conscience and intelligence ought
to be and are not is by increasing GER
tainty and severity OF punishment.

Avenve and Copernicvs.
Spelling Of Architects Impaired by
Their Classical Lore

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Permit
me to concur in the objection made to
the use of the letter in place of the
letter in the expression "In God We
Trust" on the new peace dollars. If
these were Roman dollars there might
be some excuse for the liberty the de-
signer took with the English language.
This habit of trying to tie everything
up to classical lore sometimes reaches
ridiculous heights. One of the most
prominent houses in the city of Wash
late Levi p. Morton. formerly Vice-Pres-
ideat of the United States. This house
is setuated at the corner of Fifteenth
street and Rhode Island avenue ana
bears on its corner the expression 1880
Rhode Island avenve." If the intention
to be classical had been carried to its
logical conclusion the Latin word for
island should have been used and the
Arabic numerals 1900 should have been
expressed by MD, even though Mr.. Nor
ton never pretended to be physician.
Around the coping of the buildings of
tho Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, are
the names of many scientists and en-
gineers of bygone days. In every case
where the letter belongs in the mans
name the architect has substituted the
letter V. Some of these are very funny.
In one case we have the word Copper
nicvs. SIDNEY G. KooN.
