SUMMER HATS Some senseleBs Idiots, or some syn¬ dicate operating in tbe interests of heavy, not uncomfortable bead gear for men, decided in tbeir own arbit¬ rary manner, tbat no man bad tbe rlgbt to wear a straw bat after a cer¬ tain date. If a man was caugbt wear- lag one after tbat arbitraryily set date, tben tbe aforesaid, self-consti¬ tuted bead gear gurdians took tbe rigbt to demolisb and destroy said offensive bead gear and mai treat tbe wearer tbereof, to any extend tbey dared or pleased. Tbe weatber migbt •end tbe mercury up close to 90 de¬ grees, as it bas done lately, but no straw bat must appear. :
It is one of tboce foul customs, a relic of   barbarism   tbat   goes   rigbt along witb bazing at colleges and tbe persecution  of  newly-weds.    Women can and often do take tbe pleasing liberty of going wltbout bats.    And tbey  certainly exercise tbe rigbt to wear   any   sort   of   head   gear   tbey please.   It would bustle any mere man to find any two women wearing bead gear Just alike.    How tbey manage to obtain and maintain tbe complex complexity and the immense immen¬ sity  of  this  diverse   diversity,  is   of course wholly unknown to men.   But while men tolerate some of tbe fool customs of which tbey are guilty, we can't put   a   very   strong   argument against women voting and tben ask- Ing ber aid to help  emancipate tbe male sex from some of their fool cus¬ tom and habits.   We'll, admit tbat we had to buy a new  bat.    The above argument holds good we maintain.
not want tae men of this natkn or any other nation, slain Uke sheep In tbe shameless and no great gain hy the slaying.
So the women of New Tork are go¬ ing to have another peace march Sun¬ day. Thla time they will go 19 to Orant'a Tomb bearing banners with the splendid epigram of the great warrior, "let us bave peace," printed tbereon. Of course tbey must remem¬ ber tbat the great general obtained the right to use tbis phrase, because be bad coined another and lived up to it, to unit. "We will light it out on this line If it takes all summer." And it is quite demonstrable that the last beautiful saying would have been robbed of its beauty and truth if he had not followed out tbe prophesy em¬ bodied  in  tbe first
But Its splendid in the women any¬ way. Tbey truly declare tbat they had no voice in tbe making of war, and tbe declare with equal truth, taht tbey have tbe rigbt to protest against it, and in their own way. And, on the wbole, it Is a good way. And the way to make It still more effective would be to bave as witnesses, all tbe child¬ ren tbat can be gathered together with enough adults among tbem to tell tbem wbat the women were marching for. It might not bear fmlt for a little time, but we live not wholly for tbe things of the day and hour.

"American beauties," witb Lew Hil¬ ton and Ross Snow, commedlans, at the Casino Theatre, Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, next week. Tbls production is said to be one of tbe most com¬ plete and enjoyable shows on tbe road.
Tbere are other clever artists witb the show, and a well drilled chorus to do tbeir part. It has been said by some critics that the chorus of tbe "American Beauties," is tbe best dressed, most graceful and talented in the field of burlesqw today.
PEACE DEMANDS HER TOLL "Peace hath her Tlctories as well as war." This is a true and trite say¬ ing . Tbe merciful goddews also levies her toll of human life and suffering. To tbe average mind It makes much ditference bow a man dies. The pic¬ tures of wounded and suffering hu¬ manity in war stricken countries three thousand miles away, excite our pity
"BUY A BALE" A great movement bas been set in motion all over tbe country, but more especially In New York, which will enable the South to bold its immense cotton crop until things are settled In the wared piarket and fair prices can be secured.' Experts say tbat cot¬ ton Is well worth at present 10 cents per pound. Tbls price, tbey say, will Insure a good profit to tbe bolder, and win also enable tbe producer to hold a good portion of tbe crop for the rise that seems an absolute cer- 1t*inty. It Is this kind of oo-operatlon that makes a country, city or village .strong, self sustaining and gives It a dominant Influence among tbe people Of the earth.

several lives during Its construction. £ery bridge spanning the Bast River
has cost a dozen lives eacb, beside numerous wounds and bruises that may have crippled permanently.
Consider tbe Panama Canal In this light for a moment. The cost in good American dollars was about four himd- red million. Tbe cost in human Uves was 2,190 during tbe ten years of Its construction. As a matter of fact It takes as higb an order of physical and moral courage to meet tbe dangers of toil, sickness, cave-ms, sUps and sUdes incident to tbe Panama Canal work as It would to go Into battle. Now measure this mortaUty with some of tbe death toU caused In active war¬ fare.
In the Revolutionary War deaths on the battlefield or resulting fron wcrti^ds were 1735. In the war oi 1S12 those kUled In hattie or dying later of wounds, numbered lOSf.

What a wonderful picture Mrs. Browning draws of Italy, ber past and present. "Less wretched If less fair," and "alas." t2ils lUly bas too long swept heroic ashes up for bour-glase sand." May tbls country be spared such fate.
A great commotion bas been raised in tbe New York papers over tbe fate of "Ounda," the huge elephant that, has stood on a stone floor for years, chained by two of his feet Re is ?aid to be dangerous. He Is dangerous to the peace of any one that witnesses sucb a sight. And the eagle of our poem. Ttae Uving emblem of tbis great country, tbe bird that loves free¬ dom as he does Ufe. caged and ronflned in a small, filthy cage. Do you won¬ der that be protests, recites how he has aided tbls nation In accomplishing its mighty destlng, and, finally gives his reason for being caged?
Many seusitivo people refrain from visiting these Zoo's, because tbey cannot bear to see animals ilt-prived of their rightful liberty.
ITALY
"Less wretched if less fair."   Perhaps a truth is so far plain '.a tbis—tbat Italy,
Long trammelled with tbe purple of her youth Against  her age's ripe activity.
Sits still upor  ber tomb, wltbout death's ruth, But also without life's brave energy.
"Now tell u? what is Italy?" men ask: JitaA others answer, "VirgU, Cicero,
Catullus. Caesar."   Wbat beside? to task The memory closer—"Why Boccaccio,
Dante, Petrarca"—and if still the flask Appears to yield its wine by drops too slow—
"Angelo, Raffael, Pergolesse"—all Whose strong nearts beat through stone, or cLargt-d agalu
The paint with fire of souU electrical. Or I roke up hoav«n for music.   Wbat more then?
Why, then, uo more.    The chaplet's last beads fall In naming tbe last saintsbip witbin ken.
And, after tbat, none prayetb in the land. Alas, this Italy has too long swept

THE CAGER EAGLE A flne specimen of the Bald or American Eagle has beeu confined in « small caga at the Central Park Zoo, for years uncounted.
O, are you American Men?   Is this the land of the free?
You blazon 11 on a flag and send it over tbe wave.-s.
You boast of a mlgbty land tbat stretches from sea to sea,
Of valorous deeds, of war-like breeds, with neither king nor slaves.
"A poet felt Slid wrote, it was thrilled In glorious song. That a kingly bird was found on a bleak and desolate shore, That it cried to a pilgrim band, whose hearts were brave and strong, To live or die, tbe Iring defy, to be free—and their God adore.
"Your fathers kept tbeir faith and I led them through the strife.
I screamed above the flght, I cheered the yoemen brave,
I showed th'*m a mlgbty land, a broader and sweeter life,
'Jf sweets to gain from forest and plain, of wealth to spend and save.
"Again in the fearful storm, when the elans of the North and South Mot in a Ireazied strife, and called with prayers and tears, 1 swiftly, silently came from tbe land of desert and drouth. To the fierce, wild flght and declared that right must rule the cycle of years.
O, never ye failed to call when skies were wild and dark. And never I tailed to come with pinions swift and strong. And over above the flght, I've scared Uke a Joyous lark, And never ye failed, when victory hailed to worship me In song
"But now in an imbecile peace, you chatter and lounge aud laugh. You cruel and heartless grow, you trail my wings In tbe dust. You bow to » brazen god, and worship a golden calf. In a narrow cage, I have dwelt for an age, and still I hope and trust
"O, if I am needed not. then open wide the door, I will soar «o the biasing sun and Siirw over distant plain, I WlU haste to my mounUia hosoe juiidrwalt as I did of yore, In the hour of need. 1 will come with speed, and we'll go to tbe the battle again.
"I have beard of a nearby strife, ot graft and corruptions' rei^n. It waa only a careless word of the way the right was waged. I've heard 'twas an evil work, where blood is bartered for gato. If tbls be so—surely 1 know, wby the eagle Is caged." C. J. G.
