Itut how are wn to neeine the relative
intellectual quality of the senses? Human
iieings have been known (o detect thlngi
by their sense of ntnell which the animals
cannot detect. Helen Keller, for example,
who Is blind and deaf, used to be nble to

no other known way by which sho could

Ilio sense of smell in the ordinary civilized
man, however, is not so acute ns In the

defended himself for his inability to dis

F0U the good of their narrow -visloned

jingoes, nil the hard -shelled old codgers who
view plans for world pence n the work of
dangerous idealists, and nil the folk who
saw in American effotts townul new Inter

light -bended visionaries, ought now to be
loaded on a barge. The barge should be
towed to the open sen off the Delaware

They areti t going to tove.il half that they

Vet what they have made public is enough
to stagger any ordinary imagination.
The most important trials will bo made
in this itistance with asphyxiation gas shells
of a sort thnt. according to experts, will in
the future kill instantly every one aboard 11
ship on which they fall.
Tho niind of mnn hn created many in

in awful significance the work done in recent
vcars in the name of mill'" y preparedness.
'Ine 1'nited States Army 1ms a gas which,
it insists, will kill any living thing it
tom lies. With thnt gas the army fliers feel
able to make themselves actual masters of
the sea. "We'll stop anv ship you send."

air the crews would perish. "If you don't
want to send your ships to a certain finish."
say the 1 hemienl warfare men to all the
nnvy departments of the inuld. "vou will
have to mnke them airtight in th" near
future. One of our shell, will io for a
ship if the gas-bomber's aim is half good.
We'll simply create uti island of gas around
eirry vessel nnd ail the men on that vessel
will lie dead before the ship can tind n way

again You've got anti-aircraft guns, but
we'll ride out of range."
The trials on the Atlantic waters in June
will b" in the nature of duels between war

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Following a City Trail May Bring tho
Lucky One to a Museum That
Has Given New York Some
New Ideas
SAKA1I I). I.OWItlK
SOME years ago we brought down from
tho Adlromlarks one of tho guide's sous
who was himself a lumberman in winter
ami our chore boy in summer. He had
never been on n railroad train, never seen
a city nnd never been In a house built of
any tnnterlal except wood or of more thnn
throe stories high, never worked in n shop
larger than 11 blacksmith's or made a pur
ihoe in a store more pretentious than the
village store of his own little postoflice cen
ter of '.'(M) or so Inhabitants. If he was
Interested to see the city wo were 100 per
cent more Interested to see him wlillo he
saw It. He enjoyed himself thoroughly both
on the journey down by train and Hudson
ltlver boat, and during his week here, where
he visited everything from the Zoo to the
Navy Yard. The surprising thing was that
he found his way after the first day nr two
without anv trouble. He had his own
theory about, that which he propounded to
me in his slow way ami In his north woods
vernacular.
"It ain't so surprising, come to think
n it, that I have n pretty good Ideo of how
to get round without losing myself. It's like
tins: I'm used to following u trail. Well,
may be to some folks thnt ain't used to
noticing things the woods look kind a the
same one place and miother. IJut if jott
get used to looking out for things and kcop
ing your direction, north or south, and cal
culating when you get to a stream whether
It goes up and down your trail or crosses
lt.iuul whither u mountln Is to one side of
a clearing, and what tho trees are near
where the trail forks, nnd if them's been n
lumber job that's slushed the trail for 11
quarter of a tulle, or if there's been a clear
ing that's git grovved up in popples so vou
have to keep vour eves on the ground." or
111111 be a deer-run Icis crossed and sort of
bogged up the ground, or 11 windfall that
makes you go loutid or tinder well, follow
lug 11 trail in a city ain't a grent deal harder
than following one in the woods. I went
up to the ltalilwln Locomotive, Works dfter
I seen where it was on the map and I como
back acrost without bothering to look at
the names of tho streets. I seen the Bamo
things coming back home that I'd seen
going, so I knew I'd struck tho right trail!
( ompared to a timber slash tills city la
easy to inc."
SINCE then I have often beguiled the
sameness of my way downtown bv pre
tending it was trail and, taking "n leaf
out ot the Adirondack woodman's experi
ence, noticed things! Tliere is the Trail of
Little Jstr.ets. the Trail of Stable Mews,
the Itig 1 rail, the Cross-Cut Trail, all wav,
ot gating to IJrond and Chestnut streets ; or
there nie longer trails reaching distant
places, points where down u vista one can
see Italy China, the Ohctto, Gcrmnuv.
Atiiin, Ktiiuania. Hussia ! In New York
they show you bits f things thnt are quaint
ni- reminding of M civilization unlike that
of the avi nues. They call something a vil
lage that is nothing but n piece of a eitv
with onlv lure and there a scrap of a street
that might have belonged to 11 small toivn
of 11 lenturv ago. They herald their Me
Dougal alley as though it was u unique
survival vuuth perpetuating by blue and
green doors and tlniver pots. What would
they do if they had our Cafnao street! Or
would fin 1 over cense from boasting if thov
could plant their village 111 lower Pine meet

On Protection of Children
WOKKEKS of the Pennsylvania Societv

investigating "cases" tind that many more
nro those of neglect or unfoi Innate circum
stances than cruelty.
This is the statement of Mrs. E M. Crit
tenden, superintendent of the temporaiy
home fif tin- society ut -Ull South Fifteenth
sheet.
"Only yesterday we had a ease of five
(hiblteti. ages four to thirteen, who were
running up and down the street, their mother
having just been taken tn n hospital with an
Incurable i nse of tuberculosis nnd the father
out of work," Mrs. Crittenden said.
"The children were brought here. Wo
had another case, also by loincidenee of
five children, nges two to twelve, vvliete the
mother is awny and the father intoxicated.
Thev also were brought lieie. These nie
only a few of many instances.
"We accept ihildren here from two yenrs
up. The oldest boys we arcepr nie twelve
years old, the girls nie any age. Hefoie
coining Into the home proper they go tn the
medical clinic, are taken before tho sur
geons and carefully examined.
Sent to Isolation Ward
"If they are all right thev aic sent to the
temporary home In the isolation ward, and
cilltuies are taken and sent to the city
laboratories. If the tcport from the cultures
is negative, the children nie taken Into the
home. If there is a disease present the
children are taken to the Philadelphia Hos
pital for Contagious DJsiases
"We have in our homo a loom for bins,
one for girls, with separate bathrooms. The
cliihiicti take their meals line also. They
have ii blc playroom with an outsit!" porch,
and plenty of toys and books and games with
which they amuse themselves. They arc
under constant supervision at all times.
"Concerning tho physical' condition of the
children, hospitals refuse to take cases of
scabies if tho children are running around.
So wc linvc what wc call 'scabies' homeB,'
where we board the ihildren In private homes
iiuilcr whnt we call 'home mothers' until
they are cured and come to the home here.
Vorll for Hoard
"We liave thirteen children hern now in
nnr homo. My business, besides overseeing
tilings here. Is to get the children out. Wu
send them to various agencies which mnke a
business of placing childien in proper homes
or we place them ourselves. vVe are most
