But Mich a charge U groundless. The contractors have been permitted to haw their stables wherever they wanted them, and they have had their disposal plants where it was prolitable to put them. The buildinss and the dl"poal plants irhlch the cltj proposes to erect will be lcs objectionable than thoie opeinted bv ihe contractors. They will be operated 011 fcientific principles and will nor be nffeushi J11 any neighborhood in which it 1- proposed to put them. No one should be deceived by the solicitude irbich the contractnr-upporlin Counci'men re show In; for the protection of residence neighborhoods from invasion.

It was nsreed to change the rules of the committee In surh if wnv as to make women elijiblc to any office, from chairman to suh-nstant spcretar. But there is n great difference between making women eligible nnd eleain-; them to ny of these positions. The responsible posts in the lommlttee me held politi cians who tire influential lemlers In their own risht or who have exhibited .1 willing ness to take order from inlluentiiil leaders. Even tiTinber of the committee is "e'lgi We" to the ehalrmnnshin But no member. even in the dnvs when the women did not have the vote, was ever ele- ted chairman merely bcinue he was a mm.

What will rhev miv finalh of unthorirics who permit them to be vntlms of the most spec tacular faking i'a me of recent times? AIR OR SEA NAVIES? THEIti: is in Washington u disposition to take too serious a view of the re. ord established bv airplanes in the trials against battleships 11 minced icmmiiIj by the 11,1 vr nnd army t.iffs. Some t'ongressmen talk ns If the dreadnought were nlreudv obsolete Senator Kin1;, of I'tnh would halt all major ,hlp construction without fuither deluv and divert the luonev nvailnble for upcr-drcad -noughts to the aviation wings of the mili tary senile. The gentleman fiom I'lah appears to hae t short mcmoi.i He lias forgotten the les- sons of the Eii'iitckt war in hisiorv TIib dazzling feat of u gioup of army liters have . diverted his mind from truths established through four tcni of he.idlong win It is true that tieneral Mitchell and Ins men r'nnk u drVadnought of the lust class after an attack thut lasted less than twenty minute. But the dreadnought was deserted and un armed. During Ihe last two jears of the World War desperate efforts weie made time ihftcr time to carry out successful air at tacks 011 Heels mid Individual warships. JJow many capital ships weie sunk or even put out of commission in neilul attacks? Wr Hie American fleets of trimiint-r. i'M stopped? Wrre the British .rippled? Whai L 4A 'frt did the libra play In the battle of , $.J(U!nnuV tAt lators In erery service manifested un believable courage and daring over land and over the scu. They were willing to take n'ny sort of desperute clmnCe. Vet the big ships always got away from them mid in the great sea lights they were unable to render any decisive service, though some of theiu sacrificed their lives In the attempt. In those dnys airplanes were not armed so heavily us they are now. Bombs of 1000 pounds weight were comparatively lure. The modern bombing plane carries 2000 pound bombs. Planes nie more formidable than the.t used to be. That Is about all that can be said for them at the moment. In future oii battles they may ulnk hips If their pilots arc willing to give their lives In the attempt. But while aircraft Is being improved, the nrtlllery devised for Its destruction is being improved, too. We lriivivvct to learn what will happen when the first great modern bombing plain goes to actual buttle against n fullj irnied super-dieiidnought. It Is relatUely certain that for years to come the full brunt of nn ntlnik or defense in nawil warfare will lie borne bv heavy ships. The nlr forces will render nn Increasingly Important service. Tor Mint reason Secretary Dcuby should be supported In his efforts to equip the navy with large airplane nirlers of the first class. But to talk now of ending all battleship construc tion Is to talk nonsense.

On August 1 immigrant (Jreeks from the liner Megnli Hellas and immigrant Italians from the liner Argeutiun will be pi -mltted to land in accordance with the pievniling system ,of monthly proportions. But these vessels also carrv n total of l'J American citizens, who are also to be de tained several days without the governmen tal three-mile line. They cannot hind until they have passed quniuntine. They caunot pass quarantine until they come to it. They cannot come to it if the ships nre sta tioned three miles nut in the ocean ! The pedantry of such proceedings is 0 .oiry reflection upon a (Jovotntnent which assumes to protect Us citizens and treat them fairly. If the administrators of the present Immigration Law aim lo construct a new monument to red tape, they have here ingloriously laid its foundations COST OF AN OPERATION THE tiustecs nf a hopitnl 1 uunot control the fees charged by surgeons who use its uncrating 100ms. but the trustees of the Johns Hopkins Hospital In Baltimore hnve Issued what amounts to a protc-t against extravagant fees Thev announce that the maximum sum thnt nnv surgeon ought to charge, no matter how winlthv the patient uinv b'.

This minister, vvho had to lenve his job, took up life insiirnucc. He Vx plained that the one logical opportunity for people with education and no means was soliciting. It wns their open door. This sounded reasonable, so the joiing woman decided to get her training ns a book agent. She did so well that. In six months, sho wns offered the agency for a whcle State. But Instead she went down lo Chicago und presented herself at tho offices of n big lusiirnnre company. "Wo. don't hire women," they said. "We don't vvnnt to see them around." The day of woman In business had not then dawned. "You wouldn't mind me," ventured the girl from Michigan. They tried her out. She picked her own prospects and ignored all but the big ones.

When Senator Willis spoke he commented on this Incident. lie thought thnt there would never come a time when there would not be a handy American standing by to catch the flag. As though the happening had been staged tho stnnd turned over again nt Just that moment and General Lcjeune. the best pic ture of a rugged fighting man In the service, seized It on the way down. Senator Willis contended that his proph ecy had worked out. The passing of Chief Justice White has called to mind t political feud which, some years ngn. grew ont,if the question of vvho should succeed to n vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. Edmund Winston Pettus, of Solmn, Ala., then past his allotted three-cori and ten. asked Senator Pew. of Alabama, to urge lib appointment to the Supreme Court. The Senator lepllecl that Pettus was too old for the post nnd refused to recommend him. Thereupon this venerable gentleman an nounced himself as a candidate for the Sen nte ngnlnst Pew-, vvho had been safely en sconced for two decades, and defeated him. Points for vears held the distinction of being the oldest man In Congress.

Quito mutually office-seekers make out strong case against those now holding posts which they want. They come and unbur den themselves to Dr. Work, tell him won dioiis tales of the carryings on of the people they would displace. "That is fine," snys the doctor. "It ought to lie sufficient ginuncN for action. Now you put in writing all jou have said to me thnt I may have the ecord straight." And so often the charges end right there. Letting one's tongue wag at' will Is a quite different thing from writing n charge on paper and signing oiio'n name to It.

GRACE GODFREY On Summer Nutrition A CAREFUL watching of the lood habits of children, nnd of their elders ns well, is essential to health anil comfort in the hot weather, says Miss M. Grace Godfrey, one of 'the foremost nuthoiities in the country in the teaching of nutrition and home man ngement. "During the hot weathci." .snys Miss Godfrey. "It Is always a matter for niiich thought as to how children can live health fully and have tho comfort which is their right. If this problem be correctly solved by the parents-, much of tho terror of the hot term vnnlsbes. "The first nnd principal consideration Is to feed the children sanely. This does not necessarily mean thnt a different type of food should be used from that which Is cus tomary In the cooler weather, but that the food habits of the little ones should be cure fully watched. "The matter of the dress of the child In the hot weather is also of the first impor tance. The mother should see to it that the clothing of the, children is cool anil that they are dressed in a perfectly comfortabls maimer. Children nie easily affected by the temperature nnd therefore this is a matter of Importance, because if the child is not physically comfortable It will not long re main in good health "In the matter ot food. It first of nil should always be both fresh and thoroughly clean. This is ically of more importance than the actual ingredients of the food, which do not vary greatly with the changing seasons. The l'o of Ice Cream "Ice cream is always a valuable food for summer, provided, nnd nlwnys provided, thnt cither it 1 iiiaclo at home or the parents know where it Is made and that the in-, gredlents am pine. Ice cienin Is peculiarly susceptible to adulteration, and parents should know the origin of every bit of It that the children eat. "It Is also wise for the parents to know where the children get all of the food which they eat outside of their own home The ope'ii-atr stands at which food of various kinds, but generally of the sweetmeat variety. Is old. and usually eaten In front of the stand, me not ut all ron.liulve to good health for the children, not milv on account of the doubtful quality of the products sold, but for the reason that the snnitolion of the dishes leaves much to be desired. If the chihl is given plenty of cool unci pine fond at its own home, it is not likely to eut much outside, and theieforc much of this risk Is Unlimited. "The candy habit Is nlvo generally a per nicious one, ami though it does not always icsiilr in illness, still the ilsk of it is ever present. This is not because euudv in Itself is harmful, because il is not, mid for that mutter the system demands a certain amount of sweets; bin the kind of candy which the i hlldi on buy should be known to the parents, n well as the place nt which it Ih pur chased The Penny-Giving Habit "This buying of candy in miscellaneous places Is often the oiilc-on.e of the habit of patents of giving pennies to their children and letting the children buy what and where they will with them. This is always dan gerous unless the pan nis know that the pennies will h spent for c andy or some other indole t' eat ' which it generally is) in a Hioiouglily leputiiblp place, where candies of the unadulterated kind mo sold "A child Is more susceptible tr. attack of disease in the ..timinei than at the other seasons of the yenr hci.iusn during tho hot weather the power of icslsinnco to disease I lessened. For this reason the food und the general habits of the i Midi en should hu iiioii cmefiillv watched iliiring this time than at any other. The iimo thing in a lesser degree applies to older poisons as well "During the hot weather It I important that the children's sleep he not Interiupted for nuy reason IVrseiiial Cleanliness " The matter of poi-mml cleanliness K "TIT OV HOME AIWT WHAT IT USED TO BE!". available nnd the ehenpev-t, and people should take advantage of thisifuct nnd use them ns much as they can. Of theso vege tables, carrots, beets, beans, spinach, etc., are excellent In food vulues and In their cooling qualities, while all the fresh fruits aie equally valuable. "And, of course, plenty of milk should be used. Tho sanitary conditions under which the milk Is made ready for the con sumer aro very Important, nnd most of the States now luivo adequato laws providing for this matter. Tho Milk nt tho Home "In tho homo It Is the duty of the mother to see that the milk Is kept sweet and fresh and thnt It is In this condition xvhen the child receives It. If the child does not care for milk nlone, It may bo introduced in the form of ico cream, which few children will refuse. "Milk Is one of the most important of the foods for children, and each child should have a quart of it a day. If this Is Im possible In some families ifor nnv lcasnn whutever, at least a pint n day should be jirovideel for each child. Eggs also should lie frequently on the table. Their food value Is very great and they form an invaluoble form of food for nil seasons, but especially in the summer. ThcMiitler of Meat "Regurdlng moat. It Is safe to say that, especially In the hot weather, the less meat u child has the better. A child doesn't really need meat until it Is at least eight years old. Of course, It can digest nnd use meat before this age, but It does not really need it earlier. "Any ripe fruits may safelv bo used for any person past babyhood, nud they may be eaten raw, with the exception of bananas, which should alwa.vs be cooked beforo being eaten , "The same general rules as to diet and living apply to adults. Much depends upon the psychology of tho food question In the summer. Fooling the Tuste "By this I mean that the housewife who knows how to prepare food so that it has a cool appearance need not worry much nbout the fnmll) eating it heartily nnd considering that they are eating cooling food, no matter what the actual ingredients of it are. "This may he done by serving ii'ed foods and bv special garnishes. If this js skill fully done It will bring about the Impression of being nn entirely different kind of meal from that served to the fmnlly In the winter, no inattei whether the- food values be of the same kind or not. But in the summer months fiesh fiuits nnd vegetables should bo used from an economical standpoint as well as from thut of health "Tho whole matter resolves itself into a question of sane living In Ihe vviirni weather. But there mo thousand of persons who are not sane in their habits of living nnd of eating In the summer months, and thev wonder what is tho matter with them. They blame it on the weather, whereas the real blumo lies upon their own shoulders." What Do You Know? QUIZ 1 Whnt religious nmityra were tast Into the flumes with Hiolr hats on?
