SUNDAY AFTERNOON WALKS. Some customs and institutions pass away so swiftly and completely that a succeeding geniration can scarcely realize to what extent such i custom was once prevalent and how much it neant to the generation that came before. The boys and girls and young men and Aromen who live in our large cities can not appreciate how much the pastime known as the Sunday afternoon walk once meant to people tfho are now along in years. This diversion is lot to be compared to what is known as "hikng;" the Sunday afternoon walk was not so Jtren'uous and energetic as this latter day form )f leg-exercise. The modern hike expects some tangible reurns on his investment. He is out for air and :xercise and he purposes to get them. Over hill ind dale along the country road he stretches lis legs and the more tired he gets the better he ikes it. Though he has no particular distinction n mind and sets no time limit on his performmce, the modern hiker is none the less a very usiness-like person. Not so the Sunday afternoon walker of a ;eneration or two ago. His was a leisurely proeeding. He was in search neither of romantic cenery nor of violent exercise. His performance

Consisted of nothing more strenuous than an

tmiable ambling through parts of the city into vhich he did not venture every day, or perlaps his stroll took him a short way out into he country. Thus accompanied by his loyal pouse and followed or preceded by a troupe of rom two to four or five children he wended his iray in peace of mind. Then home to the Sunlay evening meal. But it is gone, this custom. One by one onditions changed as mechanical inventions ame in to cut us off from this simple pleasure, 'he bicycle, the automobile, the motion picture how, and the commercialized amusement park -all contributed to supplant the Sunday afteroon walk with something more hurried and sverish than we had ever known before. We ave become hot in our pursuit of pleasure and iversions; we must be always going somewhere, nd when we get there 'we must either be ensrtained or hurry o elsewhere.

The quiet Sunday afternoon walk is as extinct an institution as are the stage-coach and

hoop-skirt. In another decade or two we shall i

marvel at the fact that people ever took pleas ure in such idling away of their time.

DON'T WAIT TO SWAT. The efforts of the human race against pests might be more effective if we did not so complacently take for granted that such bugs and insects come into being full grown and active and have their origin in nothing more than nature's desire to play havoc with the works of man. -The best way to deal with these pests is, of course, to carry the war into the enemy's country. For although these our enemies get around pretty well after they are full grown and on the "wing, there is a time in their brief existence when they are confined to restricted areas. Mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of the water. The more out of the way and inacessible such water is to man the more likely the mosquito is to use it as a breeding place. A tin can in the back yard with a half inch of water in it will supply a whole community with enough mosquitaes to keep the entire population busy chasing them when they are once grown up. Flies breed in filth and garbage. Such breeding places are as congenial and attractive to them as is a soft nest to a setting hen. By unerring instinct they are drawn to them, and once they have found them, the result is swarms of flies in the months that follow. It is nature's inexorable law that where there are filth and garbage in the spring, there will be flies in the summer. The best way to forestall this effect is to make man's law that there shall be no exposed filth and garbage as inexorable as nature's law. By a careful cleaning up of such places we can rid ourselves of both mosquitoes and flies. To make this result the more inevitable it is best to begin action against these pests before they are hatched to remove every possible opportunity for breeding on their part. In proportion as we take seriously a health commissioner's suggestion to dedicate the month of May to such house cleaning, we shall have gratifying returns from our efforts in the months to come.

But what is thi

PERSONAL. G. S. You say you object to the folding chairs that they have at funerals because they are so uncomfortable. Well, one does not go to a funeral to be comfortable. To go and sit on one of those little backbreakers lends extra sadness to the occasion and helps make everybody ptrry that the man is dead. We cannot, in all sincerity, start a crusade for more comfortable funer-1 chairs, and beg to be excused. " H. D. Yes, indeed, it seems as though there are days when a man can't lay up a cent, especially when the collectors wait out in the anteroom and take their turns, as irr a barber shop.

His present whereabouts, therefore, must be guessed at. You have one guess. That's all that's necessary. e A Boston paper announces that fermented blueberries develop an alcoholic content of 9 per cent. But if they are so enthusiastic and full of the joy of life, why are they called blueberries? Judge Walther of Cleveland forced his own wife to serve as a juror, against her wishes. A judge is about the only man who can get awaj with anything like that, these days. Northwestern University girls have been told they must not flirt any more. Maybe they couldn t. "TERRIBLE IS THE WORD. They were friends and they were fond of each other. This was an anniversary, and they were going to celebrate. They went to one of those places where a good dinner is served for a reasonable price. Each had a cocktail of synthetic gin. Then they had some wine made who iows where and hew. The friends parted in anger. The anniversary was a failure. They had spent the evening in argument. Ain't this modern "stuff" terrible? Marcel Steinbrugge. Somebody's toupe flew past our window yesterday. We wish this had happened in Llarch, and then we could have referred to it as a mad March hair.
