NEW TURK, Aug. IJ. (opcii.(
An ugly acandal la developing In
the matter of tha new Municipal
n.thhnmea at Conev Island, and th
chances ar that Mayor Gaynofa Com
missioner of Accounts will b called
upon to Investigate.
Tha bath were formally "openeo. on
August 1. with, elaborate ceremonies,
bat tha public have not yet been ad
mitted to them. And, what good la a
bath If you cannot ua it?
In the meantime everybody concerned
Is trying to shift th blame to aom
.l.a'a shoulder. And th private
bath-owner ar charging- on dollar or
higher on Sundays, joei as xnsy nave
bn doing right along. Th chances
ara that their graft will not b Inter
fered with for th present year at least.
Daniel Garber la prealdent of the
Northeastsrn Contracting Company
rhlch has put up th building. r.
arber does not mince words In de
scribing conditions. Ha says:
Tbf baunousea at nowuere near
completion. In fact, it will be late In
September before they can be really
ready for use. The reaaon for the
early opening was that everyone who
had anything to do with the project,
waa wild to have th building formally
turned over at the earliest possible
date. They hoped In this way to divert
criticism.
Politicians Bally Contractor.
Tbe fact of the matter la that I have
bean hampered from th start, and re
duced to the position of being the bul
lied servant of the city engineers, ar
chitects and other officials.
"Whenever I tried to do anything,
someone else In the city administration
wanted another thing done. - I re
ceived the contract on November last,
but the plana were not approved until
th following February. I am frank
to say that the baths would have been
fully completed on July 1 last, had It
not been for lnefflolent and Incom
petent Interference."
In addition the work haa been held
up br numerous mysterioua "labor
strikes," generally growing out of a
f question of Jurisdiction between varl-
oua unions. The charge has been mace
that certain labor leaders have made
money out of the affair, for the longer
the baths are held up. the greater is
the profit of the private bathhouse
keepers.
Camera enthusiasts are talking of
. making a concerted appeal to Mayor
I Gaynor for changes In the regulations
of the Bronx zoo. Thia la tne place
where most of the clty"s animals are
kept, and the birds and beasta make
excellent aubjects for photographs.
But under the Park Board regula
tions, no camera, not even a Brownie
Kodah, Is permitted In the sacred pre
cincts. The city makes a fair revenue
by the sale of postcards, and the claim
Is made that this would b spoiled If
anybody was allowed to take pictures.
The protestants. however, point out
that camera enthusiasts seldom or
never buy or sell' postcards,, and tha
they would not Interfere in any way
with the city's business. They suggest
a compromise whereby small cameras
be permitted In the park, and hope to
have It adopted.
howdlea Fear "Strong-Arm" Men.
One of the first things Bhlnelander
Waldo did when he became Police Com
missioner, was to organize a "strong-
arm squad." The necessity of this or
ganliatlon was due to the fact that car
rowdlea made travel on the traction
lines, especially on Sundays, a terrible
ordeal.
It was Waldo's Idea that the best way
to discourage the car rowdies was to
argue gently with them. using i
nlsrht stick, then lock thera up and in
slst upon their receiving Jail sentences.
And the Idea has worked out most sue
cessfully.
The strong-arm squad Is composed
of 15 huskr ollcemen. ant on Sundays
and holidays he number Is Increased
to 1S. They know most of the storm
centers, and are generally on hand
when troublo breaks out.
Official figures for July. Just given
out. show that the squad has made 346
arrests, while 308 rowdies have been
convicted, the workhouse sentences lm
Dosed ss-gregatlng 274S days. It is
promised by the Board of Police Magis
trates that more severe punishment
will be Imposed In the future. Some of
the Judges have been too lenient, but
the public disapproval arouaed thereby
has had a proper effect upon them.
Many persons have committed suicide
by gas, but few of them nave tnougnt
of the financial loss they entail upon
their Iandlorda. Therefore the case of
Miss Dorothy Cadmus Is In a class by
Itself.
Miss Cadmus waa found dead In her
furnished room, and one of the letters
sho left waa addressed o the woman
with whom she boarded. In It she
said:
"Excuse m for doing, this In your
home. In my bank-book there Is a
balance of 7 that you can keep for
the gaa I used.
Suicide rays for Gas
Miss Cadmus, who seems to have been
a most methodical person, left a let
ter to an undertaker, telling him she
had "aflwaya admired hla work," and
Inclosing her small life Insurance policy
so that she could be certain of burial.
Th bankbook and the policy, by the
way, were all she had In the world, and
ah ha4 boen out of work for several
months, which explains her suicide.
Despite the unusual heat. July's
Infant mortality was the lowest In the
hletory of the city. This 1s so stated
in the official report of Health Com
missioner Lederle.
In July of last year. 2253 Infants
under 1 year old, died. In thla July,
the total waa only 1522. although the
city Is growing. The best previous July
was that of 1909, when the total waa
1767.
"Tho weakest babies have usually
nerlshed with the first hot spell." says
Commissioner Lederle. "Many of them
were saved this year by the milk sta
tions, with, their doctors and nursea I
urge upon parents the need of constant
attention to babies. The doctors at the
milk stations should be called at the
first sign of an Infant's Illness. August
usually brings hot weather, and the In
fant mortality rate has frequently gon
higher In that month than In July."
The Postal Savlnga Bank has been
running long-enough to make It clear
that the experiment is a success. Al
though it pays only 2 per cent Interest,
while the regular savings banks give
ju or 4, its popularity cannot b
denied.
rostal Bank Great Success.
Already It has seriously affected the
Irresponsible private banks which have
swindled so many foreigners. As a rule
the aliens In our midst look with sus
picion on the prosperous institution,
and either keep their cash at home
where robbers and Black Handera get
It. or open accounts wltn men oi meir

The regular savings banks have not
been affected, for their depositors, as a
rule are Intelligent persons. But a new
class of cosh savers has oeveiopeo.
which Is a mighty good thing.
A large proportion of the depositors
are women, which is explained by the
fact that a married woman may open

will recognise no claim of her husband
to any part of the property she has left
with Uncle Sam.

OOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) Sirica their organization
hero three months ago by Rev.
Edward T. Simpson, rector of St. Mark's
Episcopal Church, the Boy Scouts have
made remarkable progress. - Troop 1.
Boy Scouts, of Hood River, composed
of three patrols, the Stags, the Wolves
and tha Foxes, have been organized.
In the past week Albert L. Crocker, a
Harvard graduate, who Is engaged In
the fruit and commission business here,
has taken a great Interest in the move
ment and has. organized another troop.
The merchants and professional men
of the city are assisting- the boys in
their activities.
Troop 1, composed of more than 20 of
the youth of tha city, returned last
week from a two weeks' outing in the
region of Lost Lake. Some of the In
cidents of camp life are told by Rev.
Mr. Simpson, who had charge of tho
part-. He said:
A bugle call In the early morning
and the routine of. camp life began.
The Wolves, under the leadership of
the grown-ups In the party, were cooks
for the first day and were followed In
turn by tha Foxes and the Stags. But
life was not all work. We had a plenty
of fun. It was a surprise to find that
the pleasure and interest of the camp
ers were guarded on the body of water
by a fleet of one-man power, son
sinkable, flat-bottomed cruisers with a
guaranteed speed of one knot an hour.
The flat boats might be overturned
In such a way as to catch and hold a
layer of air and the boys used to dive
nd arlso with heads in the enclosed
air. Sometimes they would run along
the smooth, upturned boat's bottom
slide as though on ice and drop with
a delightful splash into the deep, cool
water. Equipped with spoons, or fly
hooks, the scouts or their older guar
dians waged successful war against the
trout. The sport of trolling for them
and suddenly finding one hooked, was
fine. But best of all was the delight
of eating them.
One of the great objects of the trip
was to give tne poys lessons in ine
first aid to tho injured." Dr. E. D.
Kanaga accompanied the troop and

dally lessons In the manner of treating

were given. No accident, however, oc
curred to give the boys a real demon

While encamped at Lost Lake the
Hood-River members of the organiza
tion were visited by W. W. Schultz,
scoutmaster of Troop 18 of the Phila

is passing the Summer In the Upper

How to Be Happy Though
Married Is Told by Writer
Madison C. Peters Says Love Should Enle in Family, and Both Should Be
Companions, Chums, as It Were.
THE
a
at
BT MADISON C. PETERS.
HERE was published some years
ago an English book by "A Gradu-
te of the University of Matri
mony, with th alarmingly suggestive
title, "How To Be Happy Though Mar
ried." .
The title waa not original with the
author. An old English preacher,
named Skelton; first used It as a title
for a sermon. The rather startling
heme Inculcates . the important and
frequently forgotten truth that domes
tic happiness does not come as a mat
ter of course, but. like everything else
worth having, has to be worked for
hard.
The wedding ring anciently symbol
ised that marriage waa a binding to
gether of two hearts in one indissol
uble union. The custom of wearing
the wedding ring on the fourth finger
of the left hand had Its origin with the
Egyptians, from whom the Greeks
borrowed the custom and handed It to
the Romans. The .fourth finger was
dedicated to Apollo. Gold was a sym
bol of the sum It was believed that
Apollo's fourth finger waa connected
by a nerve directly to the heart, and It
was therefore considered appropriate
that the sign of loving union should
rest on this finger.
s King; Pledges Faith.
Since the earliest days of Christian
ity the ring haa been a precious pledge
of faithfulness. Sad 'truth is that mar
riage nowadays is seldom spoken of
seriously. It Is looked upon by many
as a Joke, and entered upon lightly,
111-advisedly and prayerlessly. More
than 760.000 divorces have been grant
ed in the United States In 15 years, and
only about 225,000 in all Europe dur
ing the same time, with 400,0f0,000
population against our S0.000.000. There
is one divorce to every nine marriages
throughout the United States, while in
some of the states there Is one divorce
to every four or five marriages.
Marriage Is' the world's great civi
llzer. Without It the family could have
no existence; there would be no social
order, no civilization and no progress.
The dissolution of the nuptial ties in
volves the dissolution of society. What
a signal realization or this truth was
presented to the gaze of the world by
France during the Reign of Terror,
which Carlisle calls "the shabbiest
page in the annals of history." That
chaotio state of things was heralded
by the granting of 20.000 divorces In
Paris in one year.
Rome, In BOO years of her history, had
not one divorce those rere Rome's
years of power and glory. Rome
changed her laws, divorces became
common, down went the" home and
down went Rome.
Facts like these have a terrible sig
nificance, showing, as they do, that
wheresoever marriage, the chief sup
port of domestic virtue, becomes sub
verted, all the interests of society will
be Involved In Its overthrow.
How to Bo Happy Is Told.
We have told you what kind of a
man to marry, what sort of a man to
tie to, and now ask how to be happy
though married.'
Let love rule. Love Implies gentle
ness of manner, blindness to Imper
fections and at least as much polite at
tention as la shown to other men and
other women. As time goes on, mar
ried life does not want less love, but
more; not less expression of love, but
more.
Genuine love continues as real 25
years after marriage as on tho morn
ing of the wedding day. It may not
be so demonstrative age is less dem
onstrative than youth but still real.
Love will keep the -soul sweet and
free from the warping process of life.
Love is a wife's only wages. Don't
scrimp in your pay. Consult each other.
Lord Bollngbroke said:
"If I was making up a plan of con
sequence I should like first to consult
a sensible woman." Be frank with one
another. Avoid, as much as possible,
all disputes. Every dispute between
husband and wife forces good humor
out of its channel ana insidiously.
though Insensibly, undermines affec
tion and at last' destroys that cor
diality which Is the soul of matri
monial harmony.
Both Should Apologize at Times.'
Never be ashamed to apologize when
you have made a fool of yourself. Peo
ple who never act foolishly seldom act
wisely. Nobody Is always consistent.
The man or woman who never made
a mistake Is a myth. The most dan
gerous Infernal machine in the home is
the last word. If you must get mad
don't both get mad at the same time.
Take turn about.
Once in a while let your husband
have the last word It will please him
and be no particular loss to you.
Carry over Into the wedded life the
refinement of manner that character
ized your wooing days. Don't im
agine that because you have now won
each other you need no longer be af
fectionate. Some women make all their charms
a net" for one haul and when they
have made the haul they throw away
Via ii cnanri n much time after
your marriage making cages as you did
making nets before marriage and your
bird will not be so apt to fly away to
some other charmer.
Have some knowledge of what Is go
ing on in the world. Read the news
papers. Be interesting-- Be a compan
ion to your husband. He would rather
talk with his wife than with anyone
else if she has anything to talk about
besides her petty annoyances. Man Is
apt to be self-centered, and If you can
talk interestingly about his hobby he
will likely have his club at home.
Praise Each Other Is Advised.
Don't be afraid to praise each other.
Let your husband feel that you think
him a g-ood one; It will be a strong
stimulus to his being' so. Let him know
that he has lost the name and he will
soon abandon the reality. Wives must
not cease honoring their husbands on
discovering that. Instead of being poetio
and romantic, they are only very ordi
nary, imperfect beings.
Husband, don't be afraid to tell your
wife that you appreciate her she has
a right to an expression of apprecia
tion of her unselfish devotion to your
interests. Don't keep all your flowers
for her cold, dead brow. As Nixon
Waterman has it. "A rose to the living
is more than sumptuous wreaths to the
dead."
Don't pitch your expenanures too
high. Better shut down on petty ex
penses than stoop to peny seiunsn
Never speak to anyone ui une b.iiuhi-
er s fauns: not even iu jwuk huuidici
or your doctor: they have troubles
enough of their own.
Pay attention to little things. Es
trangements are rarely the work of one
day or caused by one offense.
The sunbeam is composed oi minions
of minute rays. So the home lire must
be constituted of little tendernesses, of
kind looks, sweet laughter, gentle
words, loving counsels, ana soon it win
be found that kindliness will spring up
on every side, displacing incompatibil
ity of temper and Irreconcilability of
spirit and want of mutual knowledge, '
even as we have seen sweet violets and
primroses dispelling the depressing
gloom of the gray sea rocks.
r.
