That th" wrongdoing in children may nearly al- rays be traced to a physical origin is the subject of an exhaustive article by Professor Jacob D. Thayer in "The T<*rher." After much study of th* 'question he finds that Inspirations to misdeeds are Jar more likely to come from a physical than a mtntal cause. "It would surprise many mothers." he says, "to know how much better the: could control their children if when mental distemper prevails and naughtiness re!gn.«. they started to look for its physical ortgir " and he cites as parallels: Prickly heat causes bad temper; biliousness, a tendency to single Mows; r.ervoupnt-ss. tendency to lie; Irritated spine develop* a thieving disposition. He follows this up with comparisons In adults, to prove that the rule holds gce><3. "We know," he avers, "that astigmatism of the eyeF. extremely aggravated, ran an.l does produce a moral astigmatism in the adult nature that is nMoundinp." Ho concludes his article with a dis- sertation e>n the relative values of foods on mental- ity, claiming that as the baby's vital e.r physical functions develop so grows its mind, and therefore an impure physical roass produces an Impure nnd debasing mentality. In line with this Dr. Alfred W. Zimmerman has declared that it h« not bo much when they eat nor how much that is pivirsfc the Americans lr.dlges- tion, but It is the food mixtures they force into their Btom.i'-hs. He is. grieved that diners "unite strawberries and J<~« , -. on cr Ice cream ana apple pie." He asserts that th**e combinations. m dear to the average American young perron, "form a poisonous compound in the stomach and sickness is quite likely to follow." And he admon- ishes everybody to be so far sighted us to remem- ber, when it comes to dessert. Just what he ate in the e.irly part ol a dinner. ••people will eat spinach." h« sayw. "and then take for dessert strawberries about as unhenltn- ful a combination as a physician can well lm- acme. I have known d'-.-ith to result from this. Jf th« stomach is to be treated with respect we must know what It will afcest nnJ what It will not. Our particular stomach is not the stomach or another person. gf> that we must study our own system and not that of another. It is :t law, pleas- ant or unpleasant as you cboose to take. it. that the simpler the eatlns the better the dlcestive health." It is really becemilng almost Impossible to find a way to "rough It" nowaday*. The.T<? are so many luxuries everywhere!

THE TRIBUNE PATTERN. The coat that la so tucked or pleated as to give lcnp lines is the one that makes little girls look at their best.

They are not very roc-2 <-old. and not suitable for especially hot weather. Try for a change Inclosing in each pop- ever before baking It a small piece of banana or a tit cf preserved Sometimes popovers, after baking, are filled with fresh berries, instead of be- ing merely accompanied by them. Inmaking pop- overs it is well to rcniember that the eggs mast Dot be beaten et all. If the eggs are beaten the pepever will not "popover." and be hollow Inside, bat will merely rise and become extremely delicate but ordinary muffins. A good rule for popovers- one that never fails— calls for two eggs, two cups of rr.iik. two cups sf flour and two tiny pinches of salt. This rule is easy enough to remember, because everything in it is two. After mixing the ingredi- ents beat the batter thoroughly, or until it seems to be full of air bubbles. Then put Into the cups or muffin pans and bake. I/EATB OF A MEMBER. The announcement of the death last week of Miss S. LHtleSeld, of the Dover N. H.) Branch No. 1, will cause sadness to many members to whom she had endeared herself by unnumbered kindly acts. Being a "phut-in" for years, she entertained the deepest sympathy for other Invalids", and hardly a day passed that the did 804 do something to carry cheer into some lonely life. Miss Llttlefleld was among the first to Join the T. S. 8., and for ten years had lived up to the spirit of helpfulness which is called Sunshine. PERSONALS. An unexpected bat none the less pleasant call was received .... office on Monday froir Mr#. Charles McKay, j.re-sident of the Custf-r branch in Montana, who had many interesting things to tell about ranch life. She will remain in the East a month or two. Mrs. Pierre] A. Greene and Mr?.

I received twelve pretty postals, also a "McCiure's Magazine'" from some one in Delrio, Wash., and a card telling about Ada Skelton's gar- den, from Derby, Conn., all of which I enjoyed very much. "Now I must tell you about my great and pleas- ant surprise of \u25a0 few weeks ago. E. Benson, of lowa, sent me money to buy an out-of-door wheel chair; it is to be his property, but he gives me the use of it as long as I need it. God will bless him, I know." Mrs. Fleming would like the children of the Gloversville Congregational Church to know how Kratefu! she is for the helpful gift of mow sent by them, which enabled her to buy shoes and other necessary things for her little boy. A working girl came to the office to express her thanks personally for the pretty suit and hat passed on to her. She looked neat and well dressed Ht-r wages help to support her widowed mother and two little brothers. The poor woman on the East Side who has eight children and a sick husband believes that prayers are answered, for when a second remittance of money was sent to her from the office he replied: •1 was praying when the Sunshine letter came, and I can never tell what cheer it brought to us. My children were hungry." Mrs. 8., of Massachusetts, In thanking for her special ray of Sunshine from the office writes: "Those who can go about can never know how much the little tokens of sympathy mean to one shut in and shut out from so much that is beauti- fulin the. great world."

They were principally children, although twenty aged people had special pleasures given to them by being sent for one or more days to the country. The day's outings given to 200 children of the Children's Aid Society in former years were not required this year, as the society .... ample summer facilities at its own fresh air homes. Mrs. Burns, the T. B. S. president, took out the largest party—a chartered car filled with tenement house boys.

General Frederick Dent Grant beat his first mili- tary retreat yesterday, and It was a woman who forced the commanding officer 1 I the Department of the East to give ground. She had visited **\u25a0 office on Governor's Island to plead for the freedom of a son who had enlisted without her consent. When told that nothing could be done for her the woman became hysterical. Cryir.s out in broken English and Yiddish that she could not live without her boy. she made a dive for the general, and before he could stop her had planted two resounding smacks en the warrior's sunburnt hand- General Grant was uncomfortable, but held his ground. The woman followed up her advantage and fell to the floor and clasped General Grant's i legs in her arms, raining kisses on his regulation tan boots. That was too much, and with a su- preme effort the commander wrenched himself from her embrace, slid out of his chair and made a quick but unsoldierly dodge around the corner i of his table and to safety.

He Is one of the foremost experts m his line, and. being in love with Central Park and Its development and main- tenance, he is so anxious to remain there that he would hardly risk the loss of his place by accept- In* a commissionership which would last possibly only two years.

" Confetti and "Ticklers" Cause Epi« demic of Sore Eyes. i Thousands of victims of the Mardi Gras cele- j bration at Coney Island have been treated la various hospitals and dispensaries for inflamed and sore eyes, caused by the throwfng of con- fetti, according to several physicians, who say ; also that the merrymakers, by rubbing "tick- lers" in one another's faces, will probably causa an epidemic of skin diseases. Although tho j police have received strict orders to stop th* ! nuisance. It seems to have gone on unabated i since the opening 1 of the celebration. "For the spreading" of disease." said a prom- inent physician, "especially tuberculosis, this confetti is an excellent medium. It is thrown ; in the faces of thousands of aaasassßj fillingtheir '< eyes and mouths, and when the crowd goes home the streets are nearly an inch deep with the stuff. It is then picked up and resold, after | it has been trampled upon and covered with ! dirt, and is again thrown Into the mouths and | faces of the people. '\u25a0 "The 'ticklers.' too. are Just as bad. Each I is rubbed against, maybe, a thousand faces, a ' good percentage of which have either eye or skin diseases. The feathers on the ticklers at- tract disease more quickly than almost any other medium. As a result hundreds of per- sona are suffering1 either from weak or soro : eyes hot and some of them may never gate I their proper sight ajraln." Commissioner Darlington of the Health De- partment, when seen yesterday, said the depart- ! ment had no records of any diseases caused by j the throwing of confetti. "Deputy Commis- • sioner OTCeefe has ordered the r.uisane* : stopped," said the Commissioner. "Th» mat- I ter rests entirely in the hands of the Police i Department.

Va., Sept. 19.—t0-day's sessions of th? eleventh annual convention of the American League of Municipalities were devoted almost exclusively to the discussion of "municipal government by commission, versus mayor and council." An ad- dress was made by Rear Admiral French E. Chad- wick. U. S. N., of Newport. R. 1., .who contrasted American municipal government with that abroad and took a decided stand against government by commission. He said in part: After such study as I have been able to give the subject, I have become convinced that the main cause of our failure is in placing city administra- tion, a profession which demands thorough knowl- edge and experience, in the hands of haphazard. short term men. A mayor with us is the accident of a day: the same may be said of all tha real of our officials. Germany recognized in the greatest degree the business aspect of municipal administration, and it is to Germany that we must go to find its high- est and best development. The mayor in Germany is a :;;ayor by profession, a highly trained and ex- perienced city administrator. He may be called, if he acquires a reputation, from city to city. : Taking for his subject "Municipal Government by Board or Commission vs. Mayor and City Coun- cil." former Mayor J. M. Head, of Nashville, Term.. said that "no matter what the form of city gov- ernment may be, its efficiency will be determined very largely by those intrusted with Its adminis- tration. All that any of us can hope to do Is to approximate the Ideal as near as possible with the material we have to deal with." William H. Allen, secretary of the bureau of municipal research. New York City, declared that the cities of the United States owe a debt of grati- tude to Galveston and Dcs Bfoiaes for bavins caused the country to consider seriously the de- I fects of existing city charters.

But it should not b« forgotten that the advo- I cates of government by commission have hereto- fore failed to recognize three fundamental facts: (1) Mi«government in a democracy is due primarily •", ignorance on the part of the general public as to official acts and community needs.

It Is ex- pected that this exhibition of the products of tKe arts and crafts will be the most important ever held In New York. J. \u25a0William Fosdick. vice-president of the society, has been in Europe during the summer making careful researches for reproductions of the most modern examples of the arts and crafts work, which will be shown a! the forthcoming exhibition. A full and complete exhibition Is expected from the craftworkers of this country. The work of each department will be carefully selected, it is prom- ised, and so far as possible will be piaced together Frederick S. Lamb, secretary of the society, said yesterday that the exhibition would differ from all previous exhibitions from the fact that there would be examples of antique craftwork representing so far as possible their development during different centuries Many interesting specimens have already been promised. During the exhibition lectures will be given by prominent craftworkers, explaining the growth and development of this movement. using the exhibits as examples for demonstrations.

We are finding that a major- ity of the m!lk bottles are cleaned, and by that I mean that they have been properly cleansed by the use of warm and cold water, the latter first, and then they have been properly drained by standing neck down." m Mr Kracke said that the Inspections of milk ebnuns Into N. x York mads by his men i »w a much improved ... as to the quality of the milk and tha condition of th« cans. The producers of milk have learned that the Agricultural Depart- ment means business, and they are taking no chances of having their cans condemned and the it. llk lost. HOUSEKEEPERS CLEAN MILK BOTTLES. ! Funds Needed to Aid in Work of 1 Audubon Societies. ! William Dutcher, president of the National As- \u25a0 sociation of Audubon Societies, yesterday an- nounced the acquisition of new reservations for the : protection of native birds, and appealed to the public for financial aid to enable the association to continue its work. An expedition was sent last spring from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Texas line to find out if there were any large colonies of birds breeding on the marshes and shell islands off the coast. The expedition was sent in a small schooner, headed by Henry H. Kopman. who Is con- sidered one of the best ornithologists in the South. He Is employed by the association as a lecturer and organizer in the Gulf States, attending the schools, talking to the grangers, and, In general, taking up the subject of the economic valuo of birds and the necessity for their protection. Kopman and his crew of two were gone about six weeks. He made a. report to the. association, giving a census of the birds. As soon as he re- turned and the big colonies of birds had been found, the association sent to the Department of the Interior to ascertain whether certain of these Islands and keys were not still the property of the federal government. "We found." said Mr. Dutcher, "that several of them were the property of the federal government, and we applied to the Department of the Interior to have them set aside as public reservations. Papers were drawn up and submitted to President Roose- velt, and he approved them. On August 8 he made what Is known as the Tern Island Reservation , for the protection of native birds at the mouth of 1 the Mississippi, embracing all the small Islets and [ 'mud lumps' in the territory covered by the delta ! of the Mississippi River. : "President Roosevelt made another reservation i on August 17. known as the Shell Keys Reservation. j situated about two hundred miles west of the I mouth of the Mississippi. The President sets these aside in charge of the Department of Agriculture, I with the general understanding that the National ! Association of Audubcn Societies shall nominate a \ warden, who shall be appointed as a federal officer, and whose salary shall be paid by the association. I We have had made into reservations all the prop- I erty of the federal government on the Louisiana coast that is occupied as breeding Islands or { marshes. We still find there are a number of ! Islands that contain large colonies of birds that j need protection, but they are either the- property i of the State of Louisiana or of Individuals, and we j have either got to buy them or lease them. We have Just bought one island of thirty, acres for the small sum of $74. It lies off the coast; during hurricanes It is run over with tidal waves, and Is ! worthless, except as a breeding home for birds. { "Our funds are now exhausted, and It Is up to ! th« nature loving public, by membership In the Iassociation or by direct contributions, to buy or ! lease more of these Islands. We have examined the ! coast from Maine to the Texas line— a thorough j survey of the whole, Atlantic coast. We can mak<' 1 surveys only in a limited part of the year. When j the Mrrls come together in the breeding season wo I can get their relative number la, from six to ' eight weeks In May and June. Bjr July they are through breeding In Southern waters. We want t" examine the T*-x.os coast and then take up th© Pa- cific coast, and in m..- places In the interior or on the big lakes we think we can find the Fame thing. Tho mast Islands can bo bought at from $2 to |8 an acre, For HM \u25a0 man could buy a big island to b« set aside In perpetuity. This Is the only way In which the sea birds can be preserved. We would like to hive as soon as popMble Ikssl at least, to buy this character of ground.

Mr. Ellis r.a« crawly robbed woman at her dearest posses- sion—what Fhe has always called her greater sen- Fibility. It is i all: men who have the sensibility, be says; what women fondly consider their sensi- bmtr is only Irritability roar.;-. After ~ few more remarks and quotations, as that chefs and piano- forte tuners are mostly men. and that women are rarely rood connoisseurs r,f wine, and that the word" -gourmet" dees not possess a feminine farm —the bearing of which statement? upon the di- vorce question is really iust a bit obscure— the \u25a0writer passes on to a criticism of the idolatry in wnic*: the besotted American nation is sunk— the neificel - of woman. That Beems perilously like b criticism of man. for surely if woman is deified rian has done it. It is= that putting woman on a pedestal. *ays the writer, that niakee our young wives selfish and intolerant— which wifely quali- ties are held responsible fcr the "scandalous sia<-k- er.ir.? of marriage tses in the United States." Ever- foreigner who comes to this country. the writer says, is attoniFhed and grieved at the fiornir.ation of the female, .-.\u25a0-•- subordi- Ration to her of the self-«ltactng male ' etc.. etc. Thea the author gives a vivid picture of the chcyping districts in our American cities— streets Bad Shops a congested mass of women, irritable women, pale, fretful women, women dressed, many cf them, cut of all proportion to their husbands' incomes' and their surroundings; women killing tlrie it an idle strcll from one coaster to another, tern the manicurist's to the hair dresser's, while their husbands are slaving In some dingy office to pet th« money these women are wasting. "All lie writer cares to claim," she er.ds — and, really. Itseems enough" — "is that our women as a -who!* Ere spelled, extremely Idle and curiously unde- ssssssl of the maudlin worship that they demand Ircra our raen." Another reason the write? discovers for the prev- el«s"» Of divorce is that the modern women are T.Ol dependent enough. The way women have r.ow- ctJars ef gettinc off streetcars without the help of a sssß'a hand is gradually undermining the marriage bone. Gymnastics and breathing exercises, the \u25a0writer says, have prodnded a curious hybrid— a "cross between a magnificent, rather unmannerly "bey and a spoiled, exacting derni-mendaine. who Eiacerely tHIWIT" Before marriaee she re- pulses courtesy, after marriage the cries or scolds If she finds that the lias killed it in the man she has married- Surely. Judging by this picture, the lot of the American man is a bard ere—if.as the writer a?- per.? "cine times out of ten in th!s country a man marries for love." One cannot help thinking It extraordinary that zr.en should be 50 weak as to love such unlovable women, but in the next sen- tence the writer explains: "Of course he"— the man "idealizes her." Men ar*- not held entirely fclame- lets in this rather caustic article. Two or three times they are almost called self.sh. "Under all man's selfish shunting of the responsibility of home heppinws on to the woman's shoulders lies a deep Justifying truth— it is h«r business." The" man's motives, if selfish, are generally as pure as -re consistent with fan! humanity. He married because he wanted to be happy, and when the rift ccnues In the lute he is bewildered, help- less. Not entirely helpless, however, fcr, as the writer sayr. the man can always put on h:s hat end c*-ek distraction— elsewhere. But for the wom- an what is left for her, in this world where men do everything so well that there is no use whatever In trying to ccnap*te \u25a0with them? Are the animadversions upon women in "Why American Marriages Fail?" quite true? If so, then, poor American man! But poor woman, also! for what does the writer My of her work— the only* •work she can do' "Marriage la ... her diffi- cult, often intensely disagreeable and dangerous life task.

Following, how- ever. : ? a role for English muffins— kin risen with yeast and toasted on a griddle in muffin rings. These muffins call for one quart of flour. one teaspoonful of salt, one-third of a cake of com- pressed yeast or one-third of a cupful of liquid yeast, and. lastly, one and a half cupfuls of water. Have the water blood warm. Dissolve the y^ast cake in one-third of a cupful of cold water, add it and the salt to the warm water and stir the mixture into the flour. Beat the batter as hard as possible. Then let it rise (covered) until it Is spongy look- ing. At the end of that time mould the dough in small cakes about one-third of an inch thick. Grease a rather hot griddle, put the griddle whore the cakes will bake slowly, after they are each set on it in muffin rings. Cook them 'about twenty minutes, taking great care that they do not burn. Turn them occasionally. Plain biscuit dough is very good when baked In muffin rings on top cf the stove. » •'When we have women architects, and only then, may we expect the proper, the adequate, clothes pantries in apartment houses." is the con- tinuous plaint of the homekeeper who racks her brain in an endeavor not to have a large part of the wearing apparel of the family hanging on ex- hibition. Almost every window—even to the dining-room — has its deep "seat"— "'shirtwaist- bos." filled with clothing— and shirtwaist boxes, hat boxes, and t-vc-n steamer trunks, are stowed away under va lanced beds; curtains bone on shelves in the bedrooms to conceal hooks crowded with more clothing:, while the clothes tree is brought into requisition in many bedrooms to hold the bath- robes and the outer wraps of the occupant. But. with all the Ingenuity for doing away with unsightly objects, there Is one other apartment house problem that the bomekeeper cannot solve — that of ventilation — and it has been suggested .by M. J. Bundy, in his article. "The Modern Sane House," in "The Builder." that women who Ix- pect some time to build a house take up the study of ventilation. He admits that men rarely think Of the importance of ventilation by natural means and that women will give all heed to closet room and location. He explains that "ventilation means getting in large amounts of sunshine and fresh air and keeping out damp and wet." and he spe- cially deplores the lack of ventilation In halls. "What sunshine dots get in merely percolates," he says. "There is a sane, a healthful way to keep every bouse thoroughly ventilated without drafts, and it is the feminine head of the new home who ought to study this subject and be an authority upon it. for it is she and her children who will have the most use of the interior." •It is in a quaint old house, filled with "real" antique furniture, up in Portland, Me., that Mrs. Lillian M. W. Stevens, president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, plans all of the work for that body. The bouse was built more than a century ago by her husband's father, for his bride, and modern effects have been religiously barred out, even to the exclusion of electricity, which is available. Kero- sene lamps and candles are used for lighting . There Is a Bne old oven built of brick, from which the good old New England baked bear.s axe still produced. Just as they were a hundred'' years ago, and in Mr?. Stevens'! study is a fireplace to bold a four-foot log. , Certain fashionable physicians are prescribing onions extensively as a cure for gout and kindred ills. As so many have gout in some form or other, and as no remedy for the odor of the "medicine" has yet been discovered, the question naturally arises, will these dietists, after indulging in three D . .; s of the odorous fruit a day, continue to min- gle with the world at targe, in church, in theatres and at social functions, or will they considerately either keep to themselves or go Into retirement? To the rgyman who recently besrged his con- gregation to <tjr their furs and heavy wraps after the summer's ....... moth prevent before wearing them to church, this cure may not appeal real forcibly. •^^"^S "y^TV^" /^jpo/ «3/*^~ \u25a0 '%^S(ydi^mm^ tmJteftajK^gH 5 clean 5 !NG3

That th" wrongdoing in children may nearly al-rays be traced to a physical origin is the subject

of an exhaustive article by Professor Jacob D.

Thayer in "The T<*rher." After much study ofth* 'question he finds that Inspirations to misdeedsare Jar more likely to come from a physical than amtntal cause.

"It would surprise many mothers." he says, "to

know how much better the: could control theirchildren if when mental distemper prevails andnaughtiness re!gn.«. they started to look for itsphysical ortgir

" and he cites as parallels: Pricklyheat causes bad temper; biliousness, a tendency tosingle Mows; r.ervoupnt-ss. tendency to lie; Irritatedspine develop* a thieving disposition.

He follows this up with comparisons In adults, toprove that the rule holds gce><3.

"We know," he avers, "that astigmatism of theeyeF. extremely aggravated, ran an.l does producea moral astigmatism in the adult nature that isnMoundinp." Ho concludes his article with a dis-

sertation e>n the relative values of foods on mental-ity, claiming that as the baby's vital e.r physical

functions develop so grows its mind, and thereforean impure physical roass produces an Impure nnddebasing mentality.

In line with this Dr. Alfred W. Zimmerman hasdeclared that it h« not bo much when they eat norhow much that is pivirsfc the Americans lr.dlges-tion, but It is the food mixtures they force into

their Btom.i'-hs. He is.grieved that diners "unitestrawberries and J<~« , -. on cr Ice cream anaapple pie." He asserts that th**e combinations.m dear to the average American young perron,"form a poisonous compound in the stomach andsickness is quite likely to follow." And he admon-ishes everybody to be so far sighted us to remem-ber, when it comes to dessert. Just what he ate

in the e.irly part ol a dinner.••people will eat spinach." h« sayw. "and then

take for dessert strawberries about as unhenltn-ful a combination as a physician can well lm-

acme. Ihave known d'-.-ith to result from this.Jf th« stomach is to be treated with respect wemust know what It will afcest nnJ what It willnot. Our particular stomach is not the stomach oranother person. gf> that we must study our ownsystem and not that of another.

RULE FOR POPOVERS.Popovers are often popular on cool summer

laomir.ifs with fresh berries. They are not very

roc-2 <-old. and not suitable for especially hotweather. Try for a change Inclosing in each pop-ever before baking It a small piece of banana or atit cf preserved Sometimes popovers, afterbaking, are filled with fresh berries, instead of be-ingmerely accompanied by them. Inmaking pop-overs it is well to rcniember that the eggs mast

Dot be beaten et all. If the eggs are beaten thepepever will not "popover." and be hollow Inside,

bat will merely rise and become extremely delicatebut ordinary muffins. A good rule for popovers-one that never fails—calls for two eggs, two cups ofrr.iik. two cups sf flour and two tiny pinches of salt.This rule is easy enough to remember, because

everything in itis two. After mixing the ingredi-

ents beat the batter thoroughly, or until it seemsto be full of air bubbles. Then put Into the cupsor muffin pans and bake.

Confetti and "Ticklers" Cause Epi«demic of Sore Eyes.

i Thousands of victims of the Mardi Gras cele-jbration at Coney Island have been treated la

various hospitals and dispensaries for inflamedand sore eyes, caused by the throwfng of con-fetti, according to several physicians, who say

; also that the merrymakers, by rubbing "tick-

lers" in one another's faces, willprobably causaan epidemic of skin diseases. Although tho

j police have received strict orders to stop th*! nuisance. It seems to have gone on unabatedi since the opening 1 of the celebration.

"For the spreading" of disease." said a prom-inent physician, "especially tuberculosis, this

confetti is an excellent medium. It is thrown; in the faces of thousands of aaasassßj fillingtheir'< eyes and mouths, and when the crowd goes

home the streets are nearly an inch deep withthe stuff. It is then picked up and resold, after

'\u25a0 "The 'ticklers.' too. are Just as bad. Each

Different Methods Contrasted hySpeakers at Norfolk.

Norfolk. Va., Sept. 19.—t0-day's sessions of th?eleventh annual convention of the American Leagueof Municipalities were devoted almost exclusivelyto the discussion of "municipal government bycommission, versus mayor and council." An ad-dress was made by Rear Admiral French E. Chad-wick. U. S. N., of Newport. R. 1., .who contrastedAmerican municipal government with that abroadand took a decided stand against government by

commission. He said in part:

After such study as Ihave been able to givethe subject, Ihave become convinced that the maincause of our failure is in placing city administra-tion, a profession which demands thorough knowl-edge and experience, in the hands of haphazard.short term men. A mayor with us is the accidentof a day: the same may be said of all tha realof our officials.

Germany recognized in the greatest degree thebusiness aspect of municipal administration, andit is to Germany that we must go to find its high-est and best development. The mayor in Germanyis a :;;ayor by profession, a highly trained and ex-perienced city administrator. He may be called,ifhe acquires a reputation, from city to city. :

Taking for his subject "Municipal Governmentby Board or Commission vs. Mayor and City Coun-

cil." former Mayor J. M. Head, of Nashville, Term..said that "no matter what the form of city gov-

ernment may be, its efficiency will be determinedvery largely by those intrusted with Its adminis-tration. All that any of us can hope to do Is to

approximate the Ideal as near as possible with

the material we have to deal with."

ised, and so far as possible willbe piaced together

Frederick S. Lamb, secretary of the society, saidyesterday that the exhibition would differ from allprevious exhibitions from the fact that there would

be examples of antique craftwork representing sofar as possible their development during different

centuries Many interesting specimens have already

been promised. During the exhibition lectures will

!Funds Needed to Aid in Work of1 Audubon Societies.!

William Dutcher, president of the National As-\u25a0 sociation of Audubon Societies, yesterday an-

nounced the acquisition of new reservations for the: protection of native birds, and appealed to the

public for financial aid to enable the associationto continue its work.

An expedition was sent last spring from themouth of the Mississippi River to the Texas lineto find out if there were any large colonies ofbirds breeding on the marshes and shell islands offthe coast. The expedition was sent in a smallschooner, headed by Henry H. Kopman. who Is con-sidered one of the best ornithologists in the South.He Is employed by the association as a lecturerand organizer in the Gulf States, attending theschools, talking to the grangers, and, In general,

taking up the subject of the economic valuo of

birds and the necessity for their protection.Kopman and his crew of two were gone about

six weeks. He made a. report to the. association,

giving a census of the birds. As soon as he re-turned and the big colonies of birds had beenfound, the association sent to the Department ofthe Interior to ascertain whether certain of theseIslands and keys were not still the property ofthe federal government.

"We found." said Mr. Dutcher, "that several ofthem were the property of the federal government,

and we applied to the Department of the Interior to

have them set aside as public reservations. Paperswere drawn up and submitted to President Roose-velt, and he approved them. On August 8 he made

what Is known as the Tern Island Reservation, for the protection of native birds at the mouth of1 the Mississippi, embracing all the small Islets and[ 'mud lumps' in the territory covered by the delta!of the Mississippi River.: "President Roosevelt made another reservationi on August 17. known as the Shell Keys Reservation.j situated about two hundred miles west of the

I mouth of the Mississippi. The President sets theseaside in charge of the Department of Agriculture,

Iwith the general understanding that the National

!Association of Audubcn Societies shall nominate a\ warden, who shall be appointed as a federal officer,

and whose salary shall be paid by the association.I We have had made into reservations all the prop-

I erty of the federal government on the Louisiana

coast that is occupied as breeding Islands or{ marshes. We still find there are a number of!Islands that contain large colonies of birds thatj need protection, but they are either the- property

i of the State of Louisiana or of Individuals, and we

j have either got to buy them or lease them. We

have Just bought one island of thirty, acres for

the small sum of $74. Itlies off the coast; during

hurricanes It is run over with tidal waves, and Is

! worthless, except as a breeding home for birds.{ "Our funds are now exhausted, and It Is up to

! th« nature loving public, by membership In theIassociation or by direct contributions, to buy or! lease more of these Islands. We have examined the!coast from Maine to the Texas line— a thorough

j survey of the whole, Atlantic coast. We can mak<'

1 surveys only in a limited part of the year. Whenj the Mrrls come together in the breeding season woI can get their relative number la, from six to'

eight weeks In May and June. Bjr July they arethrough breeding In Southern waters. We want t"

examine the T*-x.os coast and then take up th© Pa-cific coast, and in m..- places In the interior oron the big lakes we think we can find the Fame

thing. Tho mast Islands can bo bought at from$2 to |8 an acre, For HM \u25a0 man could buy a big

island to b« set aside In perpetuity. This Is theonly way In which the sea birds can be preserved.

We would like to hive as soon as popMble Ikssl atleast, to buy this character of ground. Subscrip-

tions mey be pent to the office of the National As-

•'When we have women architects, and onlythen, may we expect the proper, the adequate,clothes pantries in apartment houses." is the con-tinuous plaint of the homekeeper who racks herbrain in an endeavor not to have a large part ofthe wearing apparel of the family hanging on ex-hibition.

Almost every window—even to the dining-room—

has its deep "seat"— "'shirtwaist- bos." filledwith clothing—and shirtwaist boxes, hat boxes, andt-vc-n steamer trunks, are stowed away undervalanced beds; curtains bone on shelves in thebedrooms to conceal hooks crowded with moreclothing:, while the clothes tree is brought intorequisition in many bedrooms to hold the bath-robes and the outer wraps of the occupant.

But. with all the Ingenuity for doing away withunsightly objects, there Is one other apartmenthouse problem that the bomekeeper cannot solve

—that of ventilation

—and it has been suggested .by

M. J. Bundy, in his article. "The Modern SaneHouse," in "The Builder." that women who Ix-pect some time to build a house take up the studyof ventilation. He admits that men rarely thinkOf the importance of ventilation by natural meansand that women will give all heed to closet roomand location. He explains that "ventilation meansgetting in large amounts of sunshine and freshair and keeping out damp and wet." and he spe-

cially deplores the lack of ventilation In halls."What sunshine dots get in merely percolates,"

he says. "There is a sane, a healthful way tokeep every bouse thoroughly ventilated withoutdrafts, and it is the feminine head of the newhome who ought to study this subject and be anauthority upon it. for it is she and her childrenwho willhave the most use of the interior."

•It is in a quaint old house, filled with "real"antique furniture, up in Portland, Me., that Mrs.Lillian M. W. Stevens, president of the NationalWoman's Christian Temperance Union, plans all ofthe work for that body.

The bouse was built more than a century ago byher husband's father, for his bride, and moderneffects have been religiously barred out, even to theexclusion of electricity, which is available. Kero-sene lamps and candles are used for lighting.

There Is a Bne old oven built of brick, fromwhich the good old New England baked bear.s axestill produced. Just as they were a hundred'' yearsago, and in Mr?. Stevens'! study is a fireplace tobold a four-foot log. ,

Certain fashionable physicians are prescribingonions extensively as a cure for gout and kindredills. As so many have gout in some form or other,

and as no remedy for the odor of the "medicine"has yet been discovered, the question naturally

arises, will these dietists, after indulging in threeD. .;s of the odorous fruit a day, continue to min-

gle with the world at targe, in church, in theatres

and at social functions, or will they considerately

either keep to themselves or go Into retirement?To the rgyman who recently besrged his con-

gregation to <tjr their furs and heavy wraps afterthe summer's ....... moth prevent

before wearing them to church, this cure may not

appeal real forcibly.
