city activities. The old divine afflatus of life will not remain buried among paved streets and under factory walls but pours out into tented exhibits, flower parades, marching bands, baby shows, sweating side-show spielers, rows and rows of horses and cows and pigs, surging crowds, laughter, pushing, talk, good-natured banter and hilarity. Folks get together and satisfy the universal human instinct of gregariousness. They get acquainted with the town in which they live and learn to appreciate their own activities. The Fall Festival is the town enjoying itself, it is the city revealing itself, the community arriving at self-consciousness.

beginning to the end of the long engagement. "Within the Law," Bayard Yeiller's absorbing melodrama of modern life in New York, will come to the Gennett Theatre next Monday. Sept. 29. This play which has for its principal theme an exposition of the police mthods and economic conditions that exist in the metropolis, has excited more comment than anv

Festivals. This is the age of cities. The big town is a product of the past century. It is a child of modern days, made possible by James Watt's steam engine, by modern systems of communication, transportation and hygiene. Such cities as we have about the earth were never dreamed of until a hundred years ago. Cities have changed the complexion of the world, they have transformed politics, industry and social life. When George Washington took his oath of office only four in every hundred lived in towns of ten thousand or over; today every other man is a town tweller. When Lorenzo the Magnificent built Florence over into the "modern Athens," the richest and most cultured city in the world was so insanitary, so disease ridden and plague stricken, more citizens died each year than were born. Consequently the city was constantly compelled to recuperate itself from the country. To live in a town was to carry one's life in one's hands. Cities were spawning places of vice, crime and corruption. No one stayed long enough to know anybody else or to learn to think of the town as his home. He was either a traveler or a transient in almost every case. In all ancient literatures cities have served as the very symbol of vice and crime. Babylon, Nineveh, Tyre and Rome ; these very names carry with them the suggestion of all that perverts and ruins. The city was the rotting spring of corruption which sent its venal blood, poisoned, impure and polluting throughout the fabric of society; the country sent back fresh arterial blood carrying a freightage of health and strength. The vast multitudes of the race lived under the skies close to the rocks and primitive soil. They kept companionship with the stars and learned to familiarize with wild things as brethren. The ever recurring cycles of the seasons kept them in constant remembrance of the everlasting flux of the world and bared before them the stern but kindly powers of Nature. Out of man's gratitude for harvest, for escape from peril, for happy families and growing children, out of his awe of the vastness of the

universe about him sprang the Festival, Festivals were the expressions of the poetry of life and the joy of simple people. Country dwellers made festivals; expressions of overflowing emotions; city dwellers made shows and pageants, expressions of pomp and vanity. When the Nineteenth Century dawned the millions who, through an evolution in society beyond their control, found themselves driven into the city with its roof of smoke, its fever and its everlasting uproar, missed above all things the poetry, the mystery and the peace of the age old country life. The passing of the seasons ceased to interest them, seed-time and harvest came and went unnoticed. All over the civilized world poets began to chant the death of poetry, romance and beauty. Like a monster the town had engulfed all that had fecUthe soul of man with romance and made the world a place of awe and wonder. Men began to say that while God had made the country man had made the city and had made ill. But today we see everywhere a change coming. Modern science has created sanitation. It is found that a smoke filled atmosphere, reeking and garbage filled alleys, impure water, epidemics, vice, crime and corruption are not necessarily a part of city life at all. And because of modern hygiene the city man has caught up with the country man in vitality and health. No longer is the city driven to the country for recruits to fill up its plague decimated ranks. Families are taking root, growing, gaining ground and

propagating themselves in the thickest areas of

the greatest cities.

The result is that the city dweller is no long

er a transient in the big town. The big town has become his home. He has taken root there.

It is chiefly because man has become at home

in the city that we are seeing all over the world the movement for municipal reconstruction and cood city government. City government no

longer merely affects our business interests, it

affects our lives and our families and our homes

And life rooted in the town is beginning to flower forth into poetry as of old. Romance is

not dead. City life has its own poetry, its own mystery, its own revelation of the awe and wonder of life. Sirius glows down upon us here as well as upon lonely mountain tops. Spring flows along paved streets a swell as along meadow brooks. Autumn burns our maple foliage as brightly as the beech covered hillsides. We are becoming acquainted with each other, becoming acclimated to the town, and beginning to find all the interests of life blossom out here. The Fall Festival is a revelation of the joy and poetry of city life. It is a prose poem of

Root's Little Flop. A group of insincere Republican politicians are now behind a movement to affect a merger between the Republican and Progressive parties on a progressive basis, not because they are less reactionary than when they scuttled the Republican party, but because political expediency demands such action on their part. One of the men behind this hypocritical movement is Senator Root, of New York. The Washington Times comments on his activities along this line in the following editorial : "Senator Root presided over the national convention at Chicago last year, which unseated enough honestly elected delegates to give control to Taft, and then nominated Taft. "He was the nominal head of the organization which did the various things that split the Republican party. "Now the same Senator Root takes a leading part in a New York State convention, serves as its chairman, and helps to put through a set of resolutions which in effect repudiate the work of the Chicago convention, and pledge the New York Republicans to a reorganization of the Republican party on such lines that the outrage of last year will be impossible of repetition ! "Always a versatile gentleman, the senior senator never displayed quite such talents as- in this affair."

COLOR BLIND ENGINEERS CAUSE MANY WRECKS

Philadelphia North American. The danger of wrecks on railroads, steamships, electric cars and other common carriers may soon be greatly reduced if favorable action is taken on a plan which is now being considered by the government's health authorities, and which calls for annual physical examinations of all railway engineers, ship pilots, motormen and perhaps chauffeurs who work for any company engaged in the transportation of passengers in interstate traffic. This proposed annual examination will include tests for defective eyesight, defective hearing, mental diseases and organic heart trouble. The holding of yearly physical tests of every man who runs a train or steamship or electric car, and who is often responsible for the safety of thousands of lives each day, will, it is believed, bring to light one of the principal causes of wrecks. Officers of the United States public health service believe that physical unfitness is responsible for more wrecks

than most persons realize, particularly in the disasters caused by engineers running heedlessly past signals.

It will never be known how many wrecks have been

caused by color blindness. This peculiar defect in the

sense of sight is known to exist in many persons who little suspect that they are affected. Reds, greeds and browns look almost alike to people who are color blind, and health officers point out thajt it is obvious that an engineer so affected might make many mistakes every day in passing signals which are usually shown by red and green lights. At the present time there is no general law which compels engineers to pass sight tests of any kind, although steamship pilots have been required for a number of years, under the navigation laws, to undergo yearly examinations to determine their vision and color sense. Tests of hearing, public health officers say, should also be held at regular periods, for the detection of unusual sounds Is considered most important in guiding a man who handles either a vessel or railroad train.

TO AUTUMN

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness! Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep. Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers; And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider press with a patient look. Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours. John Keats

"I am intensely in favor of the tuberculin test," says City Health Officer Dr. T. H. Davis; "I believe tuberculosis should be gotten out of every herd supplying local markets." Mr. Chas. Flook, local dairy inspector, said : "All dairy cows really should be tested." According to Mr. Flooks records twenty dairies are now supplying milk to Richmond citizens; they milk about 450 head and handle about 1,100 galions daily. According to general statistics this will doubtless cause the death on one or two and infect eight or ten annually in Richmond. Where tuberculosis does not immediately result from such infection the way is paved for other serious maladies such as typhoid, spinal meningitis and infantile paralysis. SchroedeKs View. "Unclean milk is today the most important cause tolerated by civilization for unnecessary disease, suffering and death," says Prof. K. C. Schroeder. Prof. Mohler, another federal authority, says: "Tuberculosis is the most dangerous of diseases through infected milk," and the U. S. Marine Hospital Service as represented by Dr. Anderson, writes: "The results of our test show the great necessity for the enactment and rigorous enforcement of a law requiring that all cows supplying milk be tuberculin tested. The danger from infected meat is quite as important, say the authori

ties, but has received thus far less attention. A tuberculous gland contained in meat used for food may infect an entire family. And if a butcher is

Chicago Is Active. 1

Chicago has passed a stringent ordinance which is designed completely to rid the dairy herds of infection in ten years. Waco. Texas; I-os Angeles. Calif.; and Little Rock, Ark., are other prominent cities now successfully compelling the test. Dr. Bitting, former state veterinarian, suggests a campaign to secure stringent state regulation, co-operation by dairymen, urgent action by municipal authorities and the preserving determination of all consumers not to use any except tested milk. The fight for the tuberculin test is part of the world-wide effort to destroy tuberculosis 4n all its forms. There is little use to attempt to eradicate the white plague from Richmond if one of the most dangerous of all its sources is overlooked.

When she and her husband are left alone she treats the subject in the same light, but manages to question him so adroitly that she finds out the name of the woman with whom he rather fancies himself in love. To her mother she confides the fact that she intends to put her own attractions against those
