SUNiDAY, MARCH S, 1908,
THIS MOVEMENT SHOULD BE
PUSHED.
Tlie proposition of certain officers
of (he Chamber of Commerce to have
that I'.xly take up the question of com
pHHng certain lot holders lit Wash?
ington avenue to have paved sidewalks
in front of tholr property, should have
? aucceasful culmination. It In for
just such things that an organization
of the calibre of the Chamber of
Commerce can wlold a great good for
the city, and it Is In such eases lhat
they can prove their worth. There
are many questions of public Interest
which can, bo brought to u "focus by
nn Organization composed of public
spirited men, while their efforts as
individuals would amount to nothing.
It the Chamber of Commerce takes
Up the question of having better side?
walks. In "Washington avenue in nn
earnest nnd aggressive manner, there
Id ho doubt but that a great good for
the city will bo accomplished. That
i lie spaces in the avenue which have
no sidewalks, except mother Earth,
should he Improved nobody will dis?
pute. There scents to be a question
of whether tho owners can legally be
forced to lay sidewalks, but If this
Is true, certainly there must bo
method!! by which the present law,
if 11 Is defective, can be made ho as
to allow the proper authorities
._f.o take tho necessary action to bring
about the desired result.
The condition of some of the spac?
es in Washington avenue as they ex?
ist at the present time is anything
^hut a credit to the city nnd tho prop
'lerty owner; in fact, they are a dis?
grace to a city of tho proportions of
' Newport News. The impression made
upon a stranger who in compelled to
walk' over them must be most un
fftvotftble and Is one or tho things of
; Which he will have a most vivid re
collection relative to the city. The
plr-a that a lot holder cannot afford
to lay sidewalks can hardly be en?
ter; ii In this case, a3 It Is perfectly
reasonable to believe that any per?
son who can afford to own Washing?
ton avonuo property, can afford to go
to the expense of placing sidewalks in
front of that proiierty.
ft is lo be hoped that the Cham
!"r of Commerco will take up thh
? pe stion nnd fight it out lo the end,
and that its efforts to improve the
main business thoroughfare of New?
port News will receive the hearty
| Hupport of the people ?nt large.' If Is
a movement that deserves any sup
. port that may be given to It.
WE CAN ALL DOCTOR FOR THIS
AILMENT.
'With n corps of distinguished phy?
sicians, the Orthopaedic hospital In
'latjelphla is maintaining an unique

inning number of nervous break?
downs.
One or the attending physicians at
this clinic la reported to have said!
thai Ike cominonest complaint treat I
ed. when stripped or Its scientific ver-1
bage, Is nothing more or less than im-J
warrantable worry. "Kindness and1
sympathy." runs the report, "are the (
principal remedies used." nnd the ob-j
Vloua suggestion Is that In thlB com?
monest of diseases, every man can ]
safely be his nelghl'Jr's physician.
There Is staut danger of giving thoj
patient an overdose of either kindness]
or sympathy. 'Everybody can help j
everybody else on toward a cheerful,
cheerier, saner, healthier !lf<\ It Is]
to bo remembered that every place]
where pooplo resort, be It a parlor,
shop school or store, may be made an]
