Over The Hill

Over the hill is a place you have wanted to eee again. Can the $25 you have saved for your week's vacation take you there? We hope bo. The truth is if you only have $25 for a vacation you probably need it. The tired girl in the overall factory amid the flying lint. The man at the lathe in the hot woodworking shop. The man who rings up fares on the street cars over long stretches of hours. The mail clerk with his tuberculosis specter banging over him. The linotype operator. "I . The bookkeeper. 1 The stenographer. All these are steadily at a work of routine with little human fnterest. They are cegs in the machine.

Do you suppose that Thomas A. Edison could bp torn away from hi3 experiments with the tempting of a vacation? Do you suppose that Roosevelt could be enticed away from a fight? Not any more than Michael Angelo could have been induced to leave off a mighty architectural scheme, nor William Morris led astray from the varieties of work that gave him joy. Of course o these men, work was play and meat and drink and the vigor of fresh air.

Harriman had to be dragged away a corpse before he quit.

These people who die with their

To them there comes up nothing at their work a longing to fling off the load. Their desire is more time to be in the fight. To steal off to that place just over the hill where you have always wanted to go that is the best Iu-k we can wish to our many friends who wrote of their longings and experiences and a vacation for $25 a week.

Richmond Slums

The Commercial club is to consider a real large human subject at its flrsti meeting in the Fall after the torrid cummer. This is the wiping outof the slums of Richmond.

To many people it will be news that Richmond has slums. To them and to the citizens of 'Other towns who may chance to hear of this it needs to be explained that the village and the country and the small town have their slums quite as well aa great cities. It was along about last Christmas time that we reprinted from The Survey an article on what was done in Evansville by the people who woke up to the fact that there were slums in the low river bottoms. Photographs of these low lying boxes in which many peaple lived together In a few sQuare feet; ill drained, ill ventilated, freezing cold in winter stuffy In summer showed that these were slums. The fire traps, the tuberculosis shacks, the stricken abodes of typhoid places where the Fever Pony stalks with hunger These are noIess slums than the tenement houses of big cities.

We remember printing a picture one Christmas a few years ago of a two-room shack in which lived a colored woman so old that she had lost count she must have been ancient at the time of the proclamation of emancipation. The conditions in which she lived were miserable. Everyone knows that the streets of the south part of town which are Inhabited by the German element put to shame the streets sometimes called "fashionable" and others which are long and gray with sloverishness and suffering.

When the building code first came up we suggested that it was quite as much a part of this city's work to take care of the slum districts as to take care of the business center. Which is the worse, fire or tuberculosis? Both are waste and preventable by almost the same means. Is it more horrible to be consumed in a half hour or a week? Fire or tuberculosis. And within a year we are glad to see action coming from the source that it should come from hard headed business men. The day is not far off, when in America we are going to have to take German cities for models. They are many years ahead of us in this line. This should be treated as a business proposition this wiping out of the slums. It is that and not what we are pleased to call "charity" for the "deserving poor." When people talk of the "deserving" poor there isn't likely to be much charity about it. Let's call it common decency and common sense.

"My Experience By FORD HAM It's an old story to you and your readers calling attention to the many attractions in Richmond it's beautiful streets. Glen Miller Park, the superb golf course, etc., etc. And many of your citizens believe in the "panicproof" city's future, and incldently in futures speculation in "th market." No city of it's size in the country caters to the tastes of the margin speculator liko the Quaker City of Indiana, A regular house and two bucket shops now take care of the business of those who guess the turns of the New York and Chicago markets in stocks and grains. That a lot of curious characters one meets in this looking-into-the-future business, to be sure. Everyone has a tip. After cotton had dropped about 150 points one man drops in the broker's office smiiing, a telegram in his hand: "Well boys' the flurry is all over. I have it straight from headquarters that cotton is on rock bottom." And, sure enough, he showed the documents from New Orleans, where you'll admit, they ought to know something about the price of the Huffy material. The bears, alas, proceeded to jump on the fairy like steeple, and it slumped yet another 150 points. Then there's the fellow who came in "THIS DATE

With Futures" MORGAN breathlessly one -morning and all he could say between pants was: "Sell pork; 1 have it straight from Chicago." To you, gentle reader, to whom this may seem so much Greek, I will explain that pork, selling then at so much, was tipped to go down in price. "The people are aroused." he explained, when his air values began to clear. "The price of pigs must drop in the Windy City. Notice how they are buying the funny food fodder and fish balls." So we sold pork, and those meat Bacons in Hog Town immediately boosted the price skyward. I mustn't forget the dear old gentleman who through the sunshine and frost of many years has been a bull on grain. He never sells. Be it 75 cents or a dollar, with him- it's always the same story. "Wheat is too low, sir, it's got to go up." He sees microbes lurking in every sheaf and ear, the weather is always out of order, and the foreign demand so abnormal, that wheat and corn Is sure to "break the old tops" and go sky high. Yet, after all life is a speculation. "Brave your pluck and prove your luck" is the motto of those who deal in" futures. Some few win, and as to the rest, why "The rapture of pursuing Is the prize that vanquished gain." IN HISTORY"

WHAT OTHERS SAY

TRAVEL AND TRAVELERS. From the Philadelphia Ledger. It is often much harder to stay at home than it is to go traveling. The life at home frequently lacks the spice of variety. We know each day what to expect, and the surprise parties are few and far between. Nothing out of the ordinary happens. One day is added to another in monotonous sequence on the calendar, but at a year's end the sum of our accomplishments appears little or nothing. Then we be gin to imagine all manner of interesting and exciting things going on in other places, just as those on a vacation piazza at the seashore think that all th things worth doing are in town, and those in town believe that all the movements are down there among the holiday-makers on the sand. The stirring center of everything always seems to be somewhere else than just where we are. Travel, with some of us, is a constant migration to get away from ourselves, from the chafing routine, and from the accustomed environment. But to be perpetually "on the go," is a very different thing from traveling. Travel, like love, ought to be a liberal education. It ought to be more a change of mind than a change of place. It should mean an enlargement of the mental horizon and a widening of the scope of one's ideas. BALTIMORE PLAYGROUNDS. From the Baltimore Sun. When summer comes and the schools are closed the children troop by thousands into the playgrounds. There they find wholesome amusement and recreation, exercise and games that develop the body and mind. They are under the care of competent leaders, who direct their games and contests and keep them interested. They are kept out of mischief, they are prevented from falling under the evil influences that menace the child who runs wild on the streets. Many a tired mother finds it a blessed respite when the children spend a fewhours on the playground, and she has the satisfaction of knowing that they are as safe as if they were under her own watchful eye. Baltimore has been a leader among American cities in providing recreation for its young people under careful direction, and the Playgrounds association, during the fourteen years of its existence, has accomplished a service of almost incal culable value. The rapid expansion of its field has been due to public demand and is proof that parents appreciate what the association is doing. FROCK COATS AND TROUSERS. From the New Yark World. By the municipal art authorities of Paris it has been decreed that there shall not be erected in that city any more statues of men in frock coats or in evening coats. In Rome a number of sculptors have declared against statutes wearing trousers. There is an agitation in both these art centers for the adoption by men of a form of dress that will be comfortable to wear and artistic to look at either In real life or in marble. This combined Ro man and Parisian movement comes timely . to the season of graduation days, when so many young orators and thinkers are inviting us to the question. Whither are we drifting? Something less than a century ago the wo men of London erected in Hyde Park a statue of the Duke of Wellington as Achilles. There is a Washington in a toga or blanket in the National Capital. But we have ceased to be classic. Who would approce a statue of Roosevelt as Hercules or Taft as Apollo? HAPPY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY. From the Pittsburg Chronicle. Half of the year gone! The next thing we know, we'll be looking around for that snow shovel. MEETING TROUBLE. Our veiled and terrible guest (trouble) brings for us, if we will accept it, the boon of fortitude, patience, self control, wisdom, sympathy, faith. If we reject that then we find in our hands the other gift cowardice, weakness, isolation, despair. G. & Merriam. SCALES Ai CRUSTS Eczema from Top of Head to Waist. Suffered Untold Agony and Pain. Doctors Said It Could Not Be Cured. Set of Cuticura Remedies Successful When All Else Had Failed. "Sottip time aco I was taken with eczema from the top of tny tipad to my waist. It twgan with scales on my twviy. I suffered untold itching and burning, and could not slpp. I was creatly rlisSeured with scales and crusts.

I tried two doctors who said I had eczema in its fullest sta?e. and that it could not be cured. I then tried other remedies to no avail. At last, I tried a set of the fenuine Cuticura Remedies, which cured me. Cuticura Remedies cured me of enema when all else had failed, therefore I cannot praise them too highly. ' I suffered with eczema about ten months, but am now entirely cured, aad I believe Cuticura Remedies are the best skin cure there is." (Siened) Miss Mattie J. Shaffer, R. F. D. I, Box S.

Rolling Cigars. It Is cotnm'ju to hear men complain of poorly tn.-.de cigars, but it is not always because a cijrar Is indifferently or badly made that the wrapper curls up and coiues otf. Much oftener this comes from the ciyar having been rolled by a maker's left hand and later smoked from the baud of a right handed man AH cigurniukers must use both hands euuully well, and economy both in time nud material Is the prevailing rule In tobacco factories. When a piece of tobacco Is cut for the wrapper It Is cut n the bias and rolled from left to rlghc on the filler, and at the same time nud by the other hand the remaining pieces are used, being necessarily rolled in the opposite way. For this reason the man who holds a cigar in his right hand, which always gives a few twists during the course of a smoke, rubs the wrapper tho wrong way, and caeily enough it becomes loosened.

Auto Cycle

If it's speed in a motor cycle that you are wanting, the races of the 4th of July should convince you that the Excelsior is the speediest of them all. In endurance the Excelsior reigns supreme. It was built to stand hard knocks, rough roads, etc. The following are the many reasons for you to consider before buying: It is the most economical in its upkeep, taking less gasoline than other makes. It has a belt drive which accounts for its beig noiseless and smooth riding. With its long handle bars and low saddle position, it makes it the most comfortable riding machine made. Another good feature of the Excelsior is that the machine is entirely under control by handle grips. The mechanical parts are so protected that in case of accident it will not be seriously damaged. One of the greatest advantages in the Excelsior is that all sundries and repairs are handled here at this store. Come to the store and let me explain its many technical points and you, like its many proud owners will be convinced of its supremacy over other machines. If you are a rider of a machine, bring it here for repairs. All repairs and sundries kept in stock. Also numerous makes of bicycles and repairs.
