Wood Engraving.
The election of Timothy Cole as a
member of the American Academy of
Arts and Letters, thus constituting him
one of the "immortals*' of tht- I'nited
States, revives interest in an art that
has virtually passed. Cole is the leading
and almost the only v.ood engraver now
producing, ar.d his work serves to keep up
consideration of this n t le of reproduc
tion for printing pnrpost s. which has been
practically superseded in all lines by
photographic processes. A quarter of a
century ago wood ? ntjravlng for the
cheaper forms of illustration was about
the only mode of picturemaking in books
and periodicals. It was virtually useless
for newspaper purposes, and In the ah
sen< e of a practicable method tile daily
prints were seldom embellished with
-. uts." It was partly due to the demand
for a process of newspaper illustration
that the fhotosraphic m?th?'ds Were
evolved, and as thes. were perfected wood
engraving necessarily lost its vogue, for
it was comparatively slow and moreover
expensive in all the higher and finer
grades of workmanship. Timothy Cole
was always an artist In everything lie
undertook, and it is highly creditable tiiat
his services have during recent years
'???en engaged by one of the leading
magazines of this country to the end of
perpetuating an art that invention seems
destined to destroy, unless public taste
can be educated to appreciate once more
t e intrinsic beauty of the graven line in
interpretation of massed color anil shade.

Apportionment and Examinations.
The reasonableness and righteousness
cf the apportionment-of-offices law are
rot to he Judged with reference t ? ?he
effectiveness of the competitive ? xatnina
tions which at present form the test of
qualifications for government appoint
ments The examinations furnish a mode
of selection of those who are supposedly
< ompeteiit to fill public pla> es. They may
be improved upon to the end of furnish
ing a more efficient range of candidates
for final appointment. Perhaps they are
at times too technical, perhaps at other
times not sufficiently technical. But
whatexer those examinations may be in
practice, howevt-r they in:i\ work out
as h meant of permitting intelligent se
lection. the. must stand as the present
mode of determining fitness, regardless
of all other considerations. The appor
tionment law then supervenes and de
clares tnat those who are l?\ the pre
scribed method pronounced capable must
i?e divided into arbitrary classifications,
state by state, in proportion {<? popula
tion. and selections must he made in
jkccufiiai^^ with llit-ftc divisious. TUus
the best people are not necessarily se
lected. The best may come from a state
which has an already full quota, or
possibly from a state with an unfilled
<?uota whose representatives in Congress
ha\e less influence than those from an
other state. The net result of appoint
ments upon this basis is that the govern
ment is continually ?>eing deprived of
the services of competent people, who
possess no other fault than that they
have their residence in states which
have already reached the limit of the
proportional patronage.
Abolish the apportionment system, con-j
sider all candidates fo: public positions
as standing upon an equal basis, whether
[ they come from New York or MicM^tn,
j Mis*o'?r, or California. New Jersey or
i the District of Columbia. Apply then
; such tests for entrance as may he wisest
land most effective in separating the tit
! from the unfit, and take the candidates
in order from the top of tlfe list, with
no record kept as to their places of offi
cial living. Then the government will be
civ en a competent force of helpers. It
will make no difference to the federal
organization, from the point of view of
j the public business, whether every man
J<?r woman of thone named comes from
j one state or the corps is divided pro
portionately among the sr=?*s. They
might well all come from Maryland or
Virginia or the District, and if they
have beaten all others in the com pet i
i tions or whatever other tests are applied
1 they will serve th> government the best,
j As long as the apportionment law
| stands oji the hooks the selection of gov
ernment workers savors of the distribu
tion of patronage. The I'nited States is
| maintaining supposedly a strict merit j
? system. In fact, it is distributing spoils j
; under the guise uf civil service reform. ?
It is giving offices to people, instead ot j
hiring hellers The Piesident's efficiency '
commission wisely recognizes this dis
tinction and recommends the repeal of
j the apportionment law. President Wil
son. long-time advocate of merit in the
tilling o' public places, strong friend of
civil service reform, undoubtedly sees
Iclearlj the truth of the commission's j
statements. It is to y?e hoped that iie will
take early opportunity to supp'ement the j
commission's report with a statement of i
his own. pressing upon < ongress the j
importance of an amendment to the civil
service law which wipes out stat" bound
ary s in the matter of subordinate ap
pointments and gi\' s the government the
privilege, which every business enter
prise establishes as a primary right, of
I selecting its helpers w ithout reference to
an> other consideration save merit.
The District's Population.
The police census figures, announced ;
today, are a disappointment to those who :
expected a material increase In the local 1
population during the past year. Accord- j
ing to this enumeration the number of
people in the Distri t the week of April
L'S-May :: was .Vki.i.".!?. as against I5.VJ ICttS ;
the year previous, or a f,a-n of :???i- The
white population in the twelve months
Increased from l!">4,'_,tln to iV>, 1.V1. a gain of
v.Kt. wh'le the colored populat'ou fell from
to VS. 14-f. a loss of The local
population virtually stood sti'.l in the ag
gregate. but there were some interesting
changes in precinct totals. Thus there j
was a Rain of 4.iK>4 persons in the tenth
precinct, which compr ses the Mount
Pleasant and Columb'a Heights suburban
area, while there was a decrease of
J.41W in the second precinct, which in
cludes ^he north middle portion of the
city. It is Interesting in this connection
to note that there was a counterbalancing
gain, as against this second precinct loss,
in the precinct Immediately north, indi
cat ng a material shifting of colored popu
lation from one section to another. In
deed, the whole showing of the census is
one of transfer and readjustment. The
movement of the population is steadily
northward, away from the business sec
tion. There is no reason to doubt the
steady growth of Washington because of
this check in its progression in numbers.
Washingtonians w ho have studied munic
ipal conditions elsewhere do not deplore
such a halt in the advance of population,
for there is no substantial reason to re
jo'ce in mere numerical growth unless it
s indicative of and accompanied by busi
ness development. Washington has gain
ed no employment-yield ing enterprises
j during the past year and has no reason
to expect growth from any other source
than the incoming of persons of means
seeking here a comfortable place of resi
dence during ,the social season and ulti
mately making this their permanent
home. An increase of population from
this source is highly desirable and it is
to be hoped that the tendency in this
respect will continue.

Spelling.
Possibly the National Press Club's
spelling bee. participated in by represent
atives of the press and Congress, will
have the effect of stimulating a country
i wide interest in orthography. That there
is need of a more intimate study of the
i formation of words in the English lan
guage is amply evidenced by the exami
nation of personal documents. This may
be ?n part the result of recent attempts
to establish new systems of spelling based
upon phonetics, which have undoubtedly
created or rather, perhaps, fostered a
spirit of independence on the part of
peop'e regarding the formation of words.
As long, however, as no such system has
been formally adopted, save by a few
periodicals and individuals, the public
duty to spell in accordance with some
j semblance .of system remains unabated,
i In t it* public schools spelling is now
tau; ht chiefl\ by indirection. No longer
t are classes stood up in line and drilled
in the old-fashioned way that afforded
the stimulus of competition to quicken
zeal, acquiring familiarity with the com
ponentsofw ords. Pupilsare"marked,"and
in the correction of spelling papers they
| have no vivid object lessons in accuracy
to impress upon them the proper
mode of putting their letters together.
The "spelling bee" possessed, too. the
Interest of an exhibition, and while it
had its terrors for some who were un
able to think quickly and spell aloud
with confidence, it afforded good training
in a rapid concentration. Many a good
speller is put down and out in an oral
match by simple words which can be
written accurately without the slightest
hesitation. Co-ordlnaiion between the
ear and I he tongue is in some cases
more effecti\e than in others, and so the
champion in a spelling match may not
necessarily be a better intrinsic speller

She thinks, while glancing up at him,
"There is a man of heart and brain
Worth any lass' while to gain.
I'd like to have him in my care
And fix his neckties and his hair."
Yet this is all she has to say:
"It is a pleasant day. today."
And Jim, with feelings all intense.
Thinks, "There's a girl of real sense,
And pretty as the flow'rs in spring.
And sweet of voice as birds that sing.
There's not a chance that ehe could be
Attrac ted by a chap like me "
So this is all Jim has to say:
"It IS a pleasant day, today."
So. as the years too swift have fled,
They've left their real thought unsaid.
It is the custom of mankind
A timid refuge thus to find
When some frank sentiment intrudes,
A refuge in dull platitudes.
We slight the best of life and say
"It is a pleasant day, today."
Parcel Post Defects.
From tb?> New York Sun.
The evidence concerning the operation
of the parcel post given before the Post
Office Department Investigating commit
tee is of considerable Interest to the pub.
lie. It was not to be expected that a sys
tf m that has been inaugurated only a few
months should work smoothly in every
detail. That minor reforms would be re
quired was only to be anticipated, and
the parcel post service has been further
handicapped by recent legislation respect
ing the hours of postal clerks. When,
however, responsible merchants declare In
thfir evidence that their use of the par
cel post has been reduced by nearly two
thirds since its inception and that they
have been compelled, however unwilling
ly, to give their business back to the ex
press companies, it Is obvious that some
thing is seriously wrong. The almost
universal complaint seems to be of care
lessness in the handling of packages, one
merchant testified: "Our early experience
with the parcel post was that about one
half of these packages (i. e., packages
liable to be damaged through crushing)
arrived at their destination in a damaged
condition," and similar testimony was
given by other witnesses. If the parcel
post department cannot handle any but
packages that are impervious to rough
treatment it is evident that its useful
ness to the community, as well as its po
tentiality of becoming a source of profit
to the government, will not be of much
account. In other countries where the
system Is in effect damage to packages in
transit is comparatively rare, and there
appears no reason why a similar security
should not be obtained I ere.
"We Should Worry."
From the Chicago Pout.
There is a movement on foot to expel
the whole senior class of the high school
at Muscatine. Iowa, because It Insists
upon adopting as Its motto the phrase
??We should worry." The expulsion
ought to be visited upon the school's
faculty. If this amusing 'bit of under
graduate irreverence was too much for
the dignified traditions of the school,
It could never be killed by such a hor
rendous frontal attack. Whereas a
little keen ridicule, a mere lifting of
the eyebrow in gentle satire, would
cause those tender young souls to drag
the sign of their immaturity back un
der cover. When high schools show
vengeful rows over trifles the wrong
is almost universally on the adult side
instead of that of the "kids."

to our generous assortments of suits for every occasion.
BBye Serge Suits, $5.00 to $15.00 ?The range of the
prices doesn't begin to tell of the variety that is presented for your

.-.uits there is still a complete showing. You may desire a plain blue,
a self-patterned blue, an attractive striped or fancy weave; these
and many others can be easily secured. It is a helpful stock, if you
have something in m?nd you can be suited, and if you are doubtful
as to what you want you are sure to find a satisfactory choice. Nor
folk and double-breasted.
Fancy Norfolk Suits, $5.00 to $113.50?The Norfolk is
the one style that boys are wearing this season, and the many hand
some lancv patterns and colorings that it is made up in affords a
variety such as has never been equaled. The soft light grays are
high in favor, as are the fancy checks. And you will like the many
different styles of Norfolks, carefully made in youthful effects as
the best of tailoring judgment dictates.
* Wash Suits, $11.00 to $6.00 ?There has never been a

to comply with your wishes. The materials are sturdy percales,

Summer To!:.
Suggestions,
Warm weather induces many women to
use powder who dispense with it In win
ter. and the difficulty of carrying it I*
often a problem. The pompadour l?ac
solves this problem. Made of the softest
kid and lined with a dainty silk, they ar.
as pretty as they are useful. The puff
comes attached In these baps, the bottom
of the bag being the |?ufT. so when the
powder is needed all one has to do is t?>
open it. turn hack the hair itself, and :t
is ready for use. This puff can he filled
with enough powder for quite a w hib
without the danger of spilling any. An
other is made of kid. with the inside left
unfinished, to he used in plaee of th>
chamois. Ranging In price from 'Si <dit
to $1.
A dainty "summery" satehet is ?m?.
made of rose leaves and lavender; these
are either in little h?art-shaped hags or
like two small pillow <s tied together with
delicately tinted ribbons. Put up in thin
little bags so none of the fragrance Is
lost, they will be delightful to put amonw
one's dainty linger!-. Any shape
cents.
Quite an unusual novelty in the form
of a complete manicure set is in tie
new Parisian Ivory Tills material ha.
tlie soft coloring of the ivory as well as
its durability. The cas?' is quite large,
holding all the necessary articles for this
function of milady's toilet, and yet leav
ing room for many other little tilings,
such as rouge, powder, etc. The buffer in
this case is unusually attracU\e, as the
chamois can be readily removed and re
placed with a new ?>n>- Nothing emiid

outfit is priced at *lo.
