sized steamer will require, as in the 
City of Boston, five horses in the 
winter to convey it to the fire. It 
is likely from every point of good 
service that the Metropolitan steam- 
er number two will give Beverly 
Farms the service required. Judg- 
ing from the appropriation this is 
probably the intention of those in 
authority. 
Sidewalks. 
A way out has been presented at 
last for new sidewalks in Beverly 
Farms. The well-cared for side- 
walks of Manchester have always 
been the envy of the residents of 
Beverly Farms. <A restricting ordi- 
nance has always hindered progress 
in this direction. An _ effort was 
made early this year to present an 
appropriation of $6000, $1000 to be 
distributed in each ward. The 
measure was defeated because of its 
political ‘‘possibilities.’’ But here 
is a way out for Beverly Farms. 
The failure of this order will have 
paved the way for an effective order 
for the benefit of the Ward. The 
Breeze has been assured that if the 
citizens of the Ward will present 
through their representative, Mr. 
Loring, a petition requesting the 
division of the budget appropriation 
so that a portion, say, one thousand 
dollars is assigned for work in Bey- 
erly Farms, that there is no real 
reason why the money will not be 
forth-coming. If the Ward can have 
one thousand dollars a year for side 
walks and will inaugurate a defin- 
ite plan of construction and lay the 
entire amount in one place it will 
not take many years to put the en- 
tire district in good condition. If 
the award is successfully obtained a 
helter-skelter use of the funds would 
defeat its ends. A plan of the vil- 
lage can easily be made and a de- 
cision made as to the proper start- 
ing place. Begin somewhere and the 
next year begin where you leave off 
this year. At last the dreams of the 
Ward are to come true. Now for 
the petition!

The New Paintings. 
The Boston Art Museum has al- 
ready begun to profit by the exper- 
lence of Jean Guiffrey and _ evi- 
dences of his valuable work are al- 
ready hung. The new policy was 
inaugurated after much discussion 
and this bright young Frenchman 
was elected to the office created for 
him as Curator of Paintings. Fresh 
from suecessful work in his native 
land, he is energetically studying the 
situation in Boston. The Museum 
must profit from the new arrange- 
ment. As the first fruits of the new 
policy the sojourners on the North 
Shore, will find on their return in 
the fall hung on the east wall four 
new and prized portrait canvases. 
The portrait of Giovanni Bentivoglio 
by Andrea Solario is the prize pic- 
ture of the four canvases. <A real 
Thomas Gainsborough, a landscape 
with a Blind Man Crossing a Bridge, 
is certain to draw old visitors back. 
The Fleet of Gondolas on the Grand 
Canal by Francesco Guardi and the 
Portrait of Marquise de Pastort by 
Paul Delaroche are the other gems 
of art. Give to the directors of the 
Museum the funds and time and it 
will out-class itself. Progress is 
their watchword. 
An Important Decision. 
Massachusetts has always been in 
the fore-front in its legislation in 
aid of weak members of society and 
in providing protection and _ over- 
sight for minors. An important in- 
terpretation of its law protecting 
minors has been handed down rela- 
tive to child labor and responsibil- 
ity in ease of accident. The Tremont 
and Suffolk Mills employed Elias 
Berdos, aged thirteen, and he was 
injured on the hand by a gear. The 
law forbids the employment of 
minors. The counsel for the child 
was sustained and the court said, 
‘“‘The statute imposes no penalty 
upon the child for being employed.’’ 
The eourt further determined that 
he had a civil opportunity to pre- 
sent his case for adjustment. The

time must come when every enter- 
prise shall guard its machinery SO 
as to make accidents almost impossi- 
ble. A great deal has already been 
done in this way. Many of the 
large enterprises are voluntarily en- 
casing moving parts of machinery 
that the possibility for accidents may 
be reduced to the minimum. ) 
Recognition. 
The North Shore has been justly 
recognized by the nominating com- 
mittee of the new Y.M. G. A. at 
Beverly. They have elected to its 
board of directors, James B. Dow. 
The committee has shown its wis- 
dom in the policy inaugurated of 
recognizing Beverly Farms and 
moreover they have chosen the right 
man. The Y.M.C. A. fills a place in 
the life of the community which is 
unmet by any other social or re- 
ligious agency and the future work 
of this good enterprise in our midst 
will be increasingly popular in_ its 
devotion to the good of the people. 
American Prosperity. 
The prosperity of America is and 
has been so common-place to the ay- 
erage citizen that he requires a 
startling item of news to arouse him 
to attention. In Belgium a syndi- 
cate has been formed with a capital 
of six millions of dollars to be in- 
vested in American securities. The 
name of the syndicate is the Societe 
Fiancere de valeurs Americaines. 
The organization of such a company 
presents a tribute to American enter- 
prise rarely expressed. There is no 
need for American funds to seek in- 
vestments at the ends of the earth. 
They are at our very doors. 
I do the best I know. The very 
best I can; and I mean to keep right 
on doing so until the end. If the end 
brings me out all right, what is said 
against me won’t amount to any- 
thing. If the end brings me out 
wrong, ten angels swearing I was 
right would make no difference.
