V" HOPE that no scintilla of the glory for the capture of Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and his fifty eleuths, It thould be made as clear as day to everybody that although the eelf- confessed thief turned up in the hands of Burns detectives it was Central Office men who got him. This is probably the most valuable lesson of the great Fifth avenue jewel robbery. When this agile young man jumped out of the window at Head- quarters last Monday under the nose of High Police Authority, High Police Authority felt sure its guest was only scared by the awe- inspiring presence of ite august self. “It was the most peculiar thing that he shonld have wshted to escape,” declared Deputy Commissioner Dongherty at the time, “since there was not the least suspicion against him.” By this time the Deputy Commissioner’s complete and obvious grasp of the case from the start must have shown him that you never can tell. At least he will admit that it might be worth while during the warm weather to keep an eye on the open casements of his in- quisitorial chambers. Jnmping out of the window of Police Head- quarters is an exceedingly neat and very humorous exploit, likely to appeal strongly to worried guests who find themselves embarrassed by same overwhelming display of insight and acumen from the great minds that dwell therein, 5 a eee Borough President Steers slips gracefully out cf office Into a ten-year Judgeship on the City Magistrates’ bench.

HE FIRST of the Better Babies’ Coniests for which The Even- T ing World has offered prizes in a joint campaign with the Babies’ Welfare Association for healthier, happier youngsters, has made a flying start. Within three hours after the first Tegistra- tion had opened at Public School No. 91, Brooklyn, one hundred and twenty-eight mothers had entered their babies. In planning its prizes The Evening World has aimed not only to give awards to the healthiest babies of various ages, but also to en- courage by special improvement prizes awarded at the end of six months’ increasing care and intelligence on the part of parents in Uringing up healthy children, This newspaper will print daily application blanks and other in- formation to make it as easy as possible for every mother to enter her baby in one of the contests, A wide movement to better the care of youthful citizens in the first five years of life would mean millionfold veturns in health and happiness to the eity a few years hence, $——____—_____ ‘The appointment of Dr. John H.

Also the annual query: Why “dog” days? The name goes back tos mistaken notion of the Romans. he greet heat of the month that Mark Antony decreed should he @alled July in honor of J alius Caesar, started a superstition that ac- Geexpanying discomfort, disease and disasters were somehow connected mith the fact that the star Canicule (“Little Dog”) between certain _ Wahes at that season rove and set with the sun, The Romans acoord- fingly gave the name dog days to the period between July 8 and Aug. Gi, and abused them cordially in speech and ting. That the dog star had nothing to do with the case is Proved by Gertact that with the subsequent changes in the heavenly procession fo ster does not in our time rise in coincidence with the oun until ‘the end of August, while the weather from July 3 to Aug. 11 is pretty geech what it always has been. But, lfke the Latin menths, “dog days” and the Mtles attached to them clung and got « good deal mixed up in later times with our.notions of the effect of heat upon house dogs. For generations, soon after July 1 magistrates of towns used to order all _ dogs to be muzsied and the poets announced i ‘The dogged dog days had begun to bite, SH disagreeable qual- Many of us eave town to-day for the Fourth.
