It i3 safe to say that there are more children living in that section than in any other, The majority of them have parents who work hard in the factories and who live in tenement houses where there are no back yards. As a result, the youngsters must spend their spare | hours in the streets exposing them- | selves to death or injury under the wheels of passing automobiles, i nonsense to reply that children should remain on the sidewalks. They should, it is true, but children are children and they go where the spirtt leads. They must have some pigce to play and the street affords thegonly open space. is criminal to neglect this mat- ter langer. On the outskirts of the district' referred to are wide open spaces which could be hought by | the city and converted into an ac- | ceptable playground at elight ex- pense, Enough work could be done on them to afford a temporary rec- reation spot for the summer and | the finishing touches could be ap- plied next year. At the intersection of Broad and | Burritt streets is a triangle of*land, too smnall to accommodate all the {ehildren of the neighborhood, which could provide a safe play- | ground for several hundred boys and |girls. It is much like the triangu- {lar tract al the Intersection of Elm {and Stanley streets around which a |fence has been built and in which |the children of the street play in safety, The Observer understands that the city now owns the plot at the corner of Broad and Burritt streets. Why not use it to the best advantage—Ilet the boys and girls play there safe from molestation and safe from dangers that lurk in the streets. 5 Milady's invasion of the barber- | {shop, begun some years back with the creation of the then latest vogue, the bob, has grown to such startling |proportions as to threaten the very |underlying fundamentals upon which |such establishments are founded. |The barbershop as such, was one of |the lust strongholds to fall before the determined assault of the eternal feminine, and the collapse.now ap- pears so complete that apparently nothing will be saved from the wreckage. For the barbershop, |once so proud in the appellation |“tonsorfal parlor,” has today degen- erated to such an extent as to be re- |garded as a mere beauty parior. And as proof thereof, a trip into any of the downtown shops will suf- fice, In one place, fn particular, one of |the barbers claimed that for every four men who came in during the course of a day, there is always one woman—truly an alarming The shop is seldom, if ever, without at least one, he added, and there are times when there are no men at al " hut a veritable bery of the so-called fairer sex. Last Thursday, he sald, as an ex ample, it seemed as if there nothing but women, women, women in the city of New Britain, He as- serted that in the passing of a few paltry afternoon hours, he himself, exclusive of what was done in the morning and evening and by the r remaining barbers, trimmed bobs for 13 women. “There scemed to be: o many coming in," he said, “that I countcd just for the fun of it.” | This barber further sald that from his observations the bob was on the increase rather than on the decline, as stated in so many different in- stances and by so many different au- thorities. Business in his shop, he declared is getting befter almost !daily and all thyough the influx of milady, her bobbed invasion, And what will the menfolk do Where will they go, that they may in perfect security swap story and anecdote far from the prying cye and the eager ear of friend wife? The bowling alley is thronged with ladyfolk, the saloon has vanished, even the highwayman field has heen entered by the bobbed bandit frater- !nity, and the barbershop, according to the hest of testimony, that of the barbers themselves, has not only been invaded, hut has capitulated, and the surrender apparently has become unconditional and complete. Is there any alternative? And if s0, what? Do you believe in hayfever? That's very much like asking a man if he Felieves in the Einstein theory. Like the theory, he has to “get” hayfever to believe in it. Otherwise it's a funny figment of the imagination. The hayfever season s here in full blast.

It has lssued a bul- letin on the subject this week in which it explains that: “Hayfever s caused by inhaling the pollen from certain plants, the protein of which Is toxic to certain 'people. The spring hay fever in this Isection of the country is caused by ||ha pollen from gragses while that in the fall is largely from ragweed. |{These two are the chief causes of hayfever, though there are other !plants and trees which during poll- Ination will cause hayfever in certain people, Hayfever can only exist during the time when polien in these various plants Is being formed and blown about in the air. It has been noted. that after a high wind, when the alr is filled with pollen, severe attacks of hayfever result. Again, after a rain storm during which pol- len becomes heavy and settles down, patients secure much rellef, which continues until dry weather and wind prevail. “Bpecial hayfever resorts have been much advertised and many suf- ferers from the disease have found relief there. That this is due to Itheir high altitude 1s a mistaken no- tlon, since hayfever is found to éxist up to 6,000 feet, " The important factor is the absence of plants whose pollen is wind-borne. Roses, daisies and goldenrod, pollinated by insects do not cause hayfever unless one fn- hales the pollen by direct contact, “I'he best means of preventing hayfever is to get rid of or keep away from, the offending agent—the pollen-bearing plant or tree, | caused the disease by the intrader- mal test in which there is injected into the skin of the forearm an ex- tract of the pollen, this being re. peated with different pollens until a positive reaction is secured, | “While pollen and vaccine there- apy have proven fairly successful in the treatment of hayfever, especially it these precede the actual onset of the disease, more would be accom- plished if the general public were informped about the pollen-bearing lation to hayfever, By cutting “all wecds, plants and grasses that grow in vacant lots, much can be accom- plished toward the - prevention of ‘hayfever.” Of interest to members . of Evangelical Lutheran Church the of convention of the Synod of New N.

Representatives from each of the three Synods, acting as a commisslon on merger, have al- ready vunanimously approved the combination of forces of the three bodles and have also unanimously approved a constitution for the new body, which would be called the United Synod of New York.

It has 67,000 confirmed members and 148 pastars. The New York and New England Synod was formed in 1902 and has 30,000 confirmed members and 7% pastors. The New York Synod, er- ganized in 1908, has 38,000 con- firmed members and 143 pastors, Our congratulations are extended to the policemen who broke up a gang of young rowdies in Walnut Hill park early this week and brought- the chief offenders to po- tice headquarters for presentation in court.

But when they assemble in reservations like Walnut Hill park and exercise their bad m ners by rowdy conduct in the pres- ence of girls the Observer believes ttat nothing short of tar and feath- ers would be suitable treatment.

Washington, June 5.—The Public Health Service claims great credit | for medical science, on account of | its euccess, during the last two or three decades, in stretching out the average human life longer and long- |er.

When one of them pays a doctor to keep him hanging on as long as possibie, it as- surcdly is the doctor’s business to do | his best and earn his money. 1f he | does a good job he's entitled to feel proud of it But as a broad general proposi- StQWdl’t’ | fortune tion, what's gained by prolonging the ! average human hfe?
