Tbe committee urged the club to take up the building code and to urge council to act upon it; suggested plans for campaign for studying Are insurance rates and recommended the Installation of an additional Are mala in this city. Street Cars Roasted. In no uncertain terms tbe committee upon electric railways condemned the present street cars in use in this city and recommended that the club take action for the residents north of tbe railroad and In tbe southeastern part of the city to secure car extension In those sections. Although tbe Industries of this city were not In as flourishing condition last year as the year previous tbe committee on manufacturing interests reported that Richmond industries were now above the average us compared with other cities throughout the country. The committee on public health recommended that oiling or streets be continued this year and that it be under the direct supervision of the street commissioner. The membership committer reported that 169 new members had been taken in during tbe past year. A banquet and smoker followed tbe meeting. Children are much more likely to contract the contagious diseases when they have colds. 'Whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and consumption are diseases that are often contracted when the child has a cold. That Is why all medical authorities ay beware of colds.

The Theaters At the Murray. The "realistic panoramic battleship finish" of the headllners at the Murray this week is hardly consistent with Its eighteenth century beginning, with the costumes of the Louises and a remarkably realistic imitation of au old tapestry. This latter is one of the best things on the bill. The banjoists are, however, skillful musicians and glvo some classic excerpts with great verve and vivacity. They are in fact uncommonly good. It Is left to question whether or not the battleship manifestation Is the famous fight between the Monitor and Merrlmac or a mere scenic device. "At Hickory Crossing." is a vaudeville sketch which, while built on hackneyed lines, has a better finals than start, and the singing and costuming of the feminine duo, which immediately precedes it, are effective. In sartorial effectiveness these young women are chic. The acrobats who introduce tbe bill do the usual hair-raising stunts and the contortionist dog is a favorite with the audience. E. O.

DOflTHAVETOTRAVEL TO BE A COSMOPOLITAN

Aristocracy of Small Towns Not Always What It Cracked Up to Be. Some People Constitutionally Green Whatever Comes.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "What's the matter with the Easterman's?" asked Sarah. "Nothing more than usual, I trust," said the cynic. "That's a mean remark," replied Sarah. "I can remember when the Eastermana were just like anybody else." "I can't," replied the cynic, "they always did give me tbe jimmies." "Well," said Sarah generously, "the girla weren't so bad when they were little specially Janet. Janet used to go to school with me " "What!" exclaimed the cynic. "Dear me," said Sal, "why shouldn't she!" "No reason In the world," murmured the cynic, "none whatever. None. I don't know why I said it," he grinned apologetically. "Only," be added hastily, "having beard you talk about , the people who used to go to school with you, the other day " "Don't recall things I have said before," said Sarah. "It is always hard to remember what you were talking about day before yesterday. You are apt to say something else which contradicts it. This makes you out inconsistent when, the truth Is, you are as honest as anybody only " "Only!" said Sarah, "anyway there is something the matter with the Easterman?. They talk so lunny," she added. "Talk funny?" asked the cynic. "Yes some sort of Choctaw. They used to talk like human beings. Now they talk like the heathen Chinee." "I've often noticed that with people after they've returned from abroad," said the cynic, "and wondered what ailed 'em. Maybe it affects their vocal cords trying to order off a French menu." "It's so ridiculous," went on Sarah, "to put on airs. Why do people born right here in Pumpkin Center try to talk like Bostonians, the British aristocracy or Hungarians just learning English. Why do they bite and chew their words, eliminate their "rs," use the broad "a" outside its natural habitat and generally assassinate the language?" "To be frank," interpolated the cynic, "the Eastermans always reminded me strongly of a visit I ones made to an asylum for the feeble-minded. The teeth-wrenching vocalisms of the inmates bore a strong resemblance to the conversations of the Eastermans." "I don't know of anything so perfect ly silly," continued Sal. "as people pretending to be something they're not.

The Eastermans are common, plebian e very-day slobs and no amount of ParIs gowns, European travel and English accent Is going to cover up the fact. The women have big feet, coarse balr and profuse teeth. The men's taste runs to pickled pigs feet, sauerkraut and fried pork and yet they are called 'tbe aristocrats,' of our town." "Its perfectly disgusting." cried Sal, "to see 'em at parties condescendingly conversing with people whose shoes they aren't fit to lace." "Good heavens, Sal," ejaculated the cynic, "you talk like Lazarus sitting under the rich man's table or whoever it was." "Your dates are somewhat mixed," said Sal, "bat I mean what I say. What is termed the 'aristocracy' of the average American town is a travesty on the name. "Ten to one they murder the language, can't tell a French verb from a house afire, dress like wax figures in a show-window, gossip with the servants and know absolutely nothing about literature, music, or art." "Oh, well we can't all be high-brows, Sal, dear," said the cynic. "Have some mercy on the rank and file." "That's just it," cried Sal. "Real aristocracy is a combination of blood, breeding and culture. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and that's what you find in attempted process in a good many little cross-roads towns." "But consider the Easterman's how they flourish!" interrupted the cynic. "They have a reputation for 'culture.' " "There are some people who are constitutionally green," replied Sal. "They may be educated, informed, traveled, but no amount of polish will ever make them shine. They are inherent greenhorns and would be if they lived a thousand years in some continental capital and were presented at court regularly every other time. "Janet Easterman is one of these. "She may lecture on art from now until doomsday, blither round about color schemes and soul uplifts, Ibsen, the Irish Players, musical motifs and the subconscious mind all in a mongrel English accent, but she's as verdant as Myrtle Sowash from Podunkvillo and always will be." "Yes," said the cynic, "I've always maintained that you can sit in your backyard admiring the sunsets over the top of Perkins's barn, and be more cosmopolitan than if you girdled the globe every six months."

"Its a state of mind not a social habit," said the cynic. "Its a condition, not a fact," retorted Sal. "It's a temperamental possession not an educational asset," deployed the cynic. "I think you might let me be last!" said Sal. "I thought of something brilliant to say Just then and you made me forget it." "Poor, abused, old Sal!" murmured the cynic. "Do not blcjne me If I speak in epigrams nrr constant association with you" "Well, anyway," Insisted Sal, "there is something different the matter wth the Eastermans.

WATCH FOR

FONDLING BABIES.

It la Bad For Their Nerves and Injurleua to Health. "Too much love kills many babies is tbe opinion of Mrs. Mary Hlnes, for years matron of the Sunnyside day nursery In Boston. There la too much kissing, fond line and caressing'.' continued the matron. "Babies are not any happier when coddled by mothers or neighbors. In fact. It makes many of them miserable. I have known a number to pine away and die from too mucb physical affection. Take yourself for an example When not feeling well would you rather He by yourself on a couch or be close up against some ; one? Well, that Is tbe baby's feeling exactly unless his constant handling bas made him prefer it. "Kissing is bad for children, because It might give them serious disease, and it certainly does no good. If mothers would consider that a baby bas rights the same as a grown person there would be fewer sick babies and mucb of this harmful affection would be abandoned. "The love of many mothers seems to be wholly to gratify the whims of the child, which is not a sane love. It Is really true In my experience that where there Is a large family of children the individual child Is stronger and healthier." "Is that because only tbe fittest survive?" was asked. -"Not at all." replied the matron. "It Is simply because each child does not get so mucb attention and therefore Is not weakened by an excess of affection. It learns to stand up for Itself." Exchange. Miss M. Louise McLaughlin, who gave to the world that form of pottery known as "Losanti" ware, experimented for ten years before she produced it.
