BUILDS IDEAL TOWN IN HER IMAGINATION. -
If It Existed ’Tv/ould Be a “Slightly Elevated Spot Somewhere in Now Jersey"
—Only One Church Needed, and Little For Lawyers and Doctors to
Do—Mrs. Pattison Tells Womens Civic Club About It.
Arlington. N. J. —Mrs. Mary Patti
ron. president of the New Jersey
Women’s Federated Clubs, has built
the ideal village -in her imagination.
But she is sure that, if such a place ex
isted in fact it. would be “a slightly
elevated spot somewhere, of course,
in New Jersey.”
This is how Mrs. Pattison pictured
the ideal village in a talk before the
members of the Civic Club of Ar
lington :
‘‘Let us take an imaginary jour
ney,” she said, "to a slightly elevated
spot somewhere—-of* course in New
Jersey—and build an ideal village or
town. Let there be a clean, wide
sweep of greensward shaded with
trees and cut with winding roads, a
few hills and a cool, picturesque val
ley to one side, through which a clear,
happy rivulet curls its way untain-ed
with sewerage and disease-carrying
insects and unspoiled by the dumps of
refuse usually deposited along such
banks. Let u see there instead
grass, flowers and birds.
“On one of these hills near by we
find a roomy school house, than which
nothing better is known, where the
children are being educated in the
real things of life, in common sense,
and in industrial and organic matters,
with no danger of forced mentality.
Here we find usefulness with beauty
of method; as a result, horse or
coarse play and disrespect are un
known; individual and careful think
ing are encouraged, and appreciation
is developed, with charm of manner
and the cultivation of the healthiest
bodies.
‘'ln the centre of the town, near a
few choice shons and offices, we find
an airy and well built market, where
only the best and purest foods can be
bought, not necessarily luxuries, hut
the substantial varieties that make
blood and muscle strong and of good
quality—a place where it is not suffi
cient to simply label the contents of
packages, but where it is necessary to
tell which beefsteak has had its juice
AMERICAN HABITS ARE BREEDING INSANITY
So Says Dr. Crafts ancf Names Alcohol and Special Maladies
as Chief Causes.
St. Louis. That conditions of
American life promote insanity and
that heredity, alcohol and a special
group of diseases are rapidly increas
ing the number of insane persons in
proportion to the total population
were statements made by Dr. Leo M.
Crafts, of Minneapolis, before the
Mississippi Valley Medical Associa
tion.
Dr. Crafts, giving figures for States
which he said were typical, showed
the extent to which insanity had in
creased in this country during the
past generation. The insane percent
age of Illinois as typical of this sec
tion, he said, in the past thirty years
AUTO DUST FIEND HAS REVENGE
Me Rushes Through Darien, Conn., With a Tree Drag
gins Behind and Yet Breaks No Law.
South Norwalk, Conn. —The police
and public of Darien are up in arms
over the actions of a New York auto
mobilist who is. they say, the mean
est man on earth. This man. whose
number they think is 1770. fastens a
large limb to the rear of his machine
and. with this trailing in the road,
he <r oes racing through the town,
leaving a cloud of dust which entire
ly envelops him and the machine
number, and which leaves the town
sputtering and fuming, winking and
blinking, for some minutes.
Even the Rev. H. S. Brown has
joined in the protest, saying that the
nuisance is the cause of perversion,
extracted, what fish and fowl have
been embalmed, what animals died
in disease, and what fruit has had its
natural fermentation stopped by the
use of preservatives. It is, in fact, a
place to buy food where one is not in
danger of one's life, or worse, one's
health, at every turn.
‘‘Let us perhap; build two churches
' in our beautiful village, although that
! may be one too many, but let there be
j one opening the gate of heaven
! through the intellectual door or un-
I der the portal of the understanding
I where reason reigns and science
| proves; then a little further on let us
! find another, bringing God on earth
through the aid of the emotions, with
the heart as the knower and the
senses trained to love. Let them both
be beautiful, but let us go first to one
and then the other till in the future
they unite.
‘‘Our community is made up of
homes, cheerful. normal. happy
homes, individual xpression. co
operate in management and lovely in
design, where the atmosphere is the
guiding element, where nothing is
held that gives more trouble than
worth, where harmony, health and
happiness leave not a crevice for hell
to peek through.
“And now a little walk to the right,
and opposite the park we are led to
the village clubhouse, a fine pleasure
edifice equipped for all ages. Tt is a
place where play and gymnastics are
supervised, a place for games of all
sorts, with rooms for music, art,
dancing, etc., and for that foolish
frivolity without which society would
lose its charms.
“May we keep our hand to tlm
wheel, and help to usher in the new r
village home, if not in detail, at least
in essence—a home where one might
free the spirit by just living, where
doctors and lawyers are at the mini
mum in number and teachers at the
maximum, a place where only health
is known, and w r here the whole air
rings with life,”
has increased four times as rapidly
as has the population. Other States
and sections were no better off, he
said.
According to Dr. Crafts, other
countries were developing insanity
through American habits. Since
Japan adopted Western methods of
doing things the proportion of insane
persons in that empire has rapidly in
creased. The negro was also pointed
to as furnishing another example of a
race incapable of adoption of Ameri
can methods and environment with
out an increase in the number of
those who go crazy and have to be
1 confined in retreats.
and that a match factory would have
a better chance of doing business in
the atmosphere of the place than a
preacher when the dust is in the air.
The autoist fastens the large limb to
his machine at one end of the town
and drops it off at the other end.
Under the old Connecticut law Da
rien had a reputation for arresting
speeding automobilists. As many as
fifty were caught in a day and fined.
It is thought that the dust fiend is a
victim getting even. The new law al
lows of no arresting save in extreme
speed cases, hut the police intend to
arrest him as a common nuisance and
put him under bonds.
MILITIA NEARING CRISIS
January 21 Will Decide Fate of
National Guard.
REGULAR ARMY STANDARD
Unless Various Guard Organizations
Conform to Standards They Will Re
ceive No More Government Money.
Washington, D. C. —January 21,
1910. will b e ;j critical date in the
hitsory of the national guard, ofr
thereafter no portion of the money
appropriated by congress for the sup
l*oi i of the militia can be paid to
any organization that fails to con
form to the standards of the regular
army.
The Dick bill of 1903, originally pre
scribed a period of five years for the
bringing about of the considerable
changes necessary to place the nation
al guardsmen in uniformity of organi
eation and equipment with the regu
lar ooldicr. Hut as the time limit ap
proached, it was found that, vey few
of the states had been able to con
form, so an extension was granted un
til January 21, 1910.
As the date grows near, the offi
cers of the war department who are
directly charged with the administra
tion of the law's governing the gela
tions of the department with the mi
litia are taking stock of the work
accomplished and calculating the per
centage of the national guard, as it
stands today, that will be thus quali
fied to retain governmental support.
Through it;; system of inspection of
militia organizations by regular of
ficers, (he war (jejmrtment is in pos
session of some exact information re
garding the conditions. The detailed
results will be made public in the
fotrhcoming annual report of Colonel
E. Al. Weaver, chief of the division of
militia affairs.
It may be stated that, on the whole,
the war department expresses great
satisfaction in the prospect, and the
apparent Success attending the work
ings of the Dick bill. Next year, for
the first time in its history, the mih
tia, oi so much of it as remains under
the caption of “The National Guard,”
will he found armed with the latest
pattern of military rifles, clothed from
head to foot in regualr army gear;
supplied with all regular equipment
and with ranks filled to the require
ment. of the law.
The task has been one of consider
able magnitude, and that the difficul
ties have been met and overcome by
so many of the states and territories
of the union, is held by the depart
ment as reflecting credit upon the na
tional guard officers. In many cases
the companies and regiments were
mere skeletons; twenty-five men made
up an active company in many states.
Some organizations had showy dress
uniforms for parades, but lacked the
homely, businesslike khaki outfits re
quired for field service. Still others
had only fragments of any kind of
uniform —perhaps a soldier’s cap or
coat, which, with some discarded style
of rifle, was supposed to indicate mem
bership in the guard.
The improvement in conditions has
been general, hut markedly so in the
south, which had formerly been re
garded as a weak spot by the strict
disciplinarians of the regular army,
who felt that in that section undue
prominence had been given to the so
cial and club feattfres by the militia
men at the sacrifice of military quali
ty. Though lacking the massive bri
gades and divisions of the more popu
lous northern states, the militia com
panies in a number of the southern
states are now' reported by the in
specting offices to be in a very satis
factory condition of conformity to
army standards.
The west also is doing well, though
there are some spots regarded qs
weak, notably in Nevada.
