NO INTERFERENCE WITH COMMISSION
v ARIoUs stories are circulating that the five

" ARIOUS stories are circulating that the FIVE
new policemen are not to be appointed
until the police commissioners agree that certain
men shall be named on the force In other words,
the power OF naming the policemen, if pos
sible IS to be taken from the hands OF the police
commissioners. We do not know how true these
tales are; we presume they are untrue
The police commissioners are responsible for
the appointment of the patrolmen and they are
not responsible to any members of City Council
to political leaders. We should fancy that the
police commissioners would resent any interfer-
ence with their perogatives if there is to be inter-
ference
Certainly our police commissioners should not
be subject to the manipulatons of party leaders,
whether those leaders be great or small The
people are interested in a well organized and
equipped police force, and they look to the COM
missioners to see that. this end is attained We
want no political police force in Wilmington No
place on the police force should be dependent
upon the political work that patrolman has done
in the past or will do in the future should he Sc
cure an appointment The Chester police force
ought to be example enough of mixing politics
with police duties
What we want is police force that treats all
citizens alike, force that is subject neither to
political nor corporation manipulation.

the first excitement of meeting was
over, and the two old friends had set
tied down for a good talk, land
what has become of Mary Laughlin
Is she still as wonderful as ever?''
"a hundred times more So her
hostess answered promptly.
What is she doing? Has she become
a famous artist, as you expected? The
last thing that I heard definitely was
that she took the first prize at the
academy, and you looked for great
things from her"
The other woman smiled the slow
smile of one whose thought wanders
back through memoried years.
Mary Laughlin is greater than we
ever dreamed" she said. For six years
she has been painting dinner cards and
favors."
Painting dinner cards?"
They are exquisite dinner cards, V
the friends declared whimsically. They
are all the rage"
But dinner cards! Helen Andrews,
what do you mean?''
II mean,' Mary's friend said, gently
now, that Mary has proved herself
greater than her art. The year that she
was to go abroad, her sisters husband
died, leaving her with no means and
four little children. She could not sup

The Girl Who Asks Questions.

There is no better way to find out
about things we do not really under
stand, says an exchange, than to ask
questions of those who are wiser than
ourselves. But the girl of whom we are
going to tell you asks another kind of
questions, and about things she. has no
need to know.
How much did your dress cost a
yard" she asks her neighbor Mamie,
when she comes to school some morn
ing in pretty new frock Instead of
answering, Nannie's face grows red.
for the new dress is made over from
some things that belonged to a cousin
in another city. Before Mamie can
make up her mind what to say to that
first question, others come thick and
fast: Where did your mamma buy
it?' We'll, if she didn't buy it, who
did?"
This girl who asks questions never
stops till she gets to the bottom of a
matter. 1t never seems to enter her
head that people may not care to tell
her everything she wishes to know
When she learns that Mollie Lees aunt
has come to live at her house, she can
not rest until she has asked Mollie
whether her aunt is nice, and why she
doesn't have home of her own, and as
many other questions as Mollie will lis
ten to-
The worst thing about this girl is not
her questions, although they are neither
courteous nor kind, but the curiosity
that makes her ask them.
With all the wonderful and beautiful
things there are to know in this world
Of ours, she is interested only to find
out little, foolish facts about her neigh
bors. Isn't it a pity?

To Talk Well.

Don't speak in a low, monotonous
voice. Conversation is like song. 1t
needs pronounced accent and a great
variety of intonations to keep up a
sustained interest
Don't tell long stories of personal eX-
periences. One who has the habit of
making personal recitals takes the lions
share of the conversation and doesn'
give a listener a chance.
Don't ask trifling questions. Don't
air your prejudices. Neither contrib
utes to the grace of conversational art,
the essence Of which should be sym
pathy.
Don't talk of melancholy or grew
some matters. Give the talk a happy
turn. Don't ride conversation too hard.
Leave breathing. spaces in the talk. 1t
is not essential that every moment two
people are together should be filled with
a flow of words.
Don't deaden and hinder the CONVEX
sation by being too accurate over de-
tails. Don't go back and add appen-
dices to subject after you have once
left it. If the subject was not closed
to your satisfaction, no matter.
Don't run one story into another.
When you have told a good story stop
short in order that its effect may tell.
A good story should be set off by a
blank or dull space in the talk.
Don't make a point of agreeing with
every speaker. The real zest of CONVEX
sation lies in just enough difference of
opinion to bring out the strong points
of two peoples character. There is
nothing more genial than the warmth
of friendly discussion which never rises
to anger
Don't harp too long on one string.

self-reliant, joyous. That she had had
her battles no one could doubt but the
completeness of her victory was shown
by her generous, unenvious TecOgni-
ton of the successes of her old COM
rades at the academy. She talked
much of them-Of the one who had won
fame as portrait painter, of the two
who had become well-known illustra-
tors, and of many others. And all the
time she talked the guest was conscious
of the exquisite atmosphere of the sim
pie little home. She had not meant to
speak of it, but the question came in
spite of herself.
Don't you ever long for 1.-THE

Mary Laughlin's steady eyes met hers
quietly.

the conversation gracefully is like re-
versing in the waltz, nice point of
skill.

Many People Do Not Walk Properly.

Walking is almost as common as
breathing, eating and sleeping, yet there
are many people who do not know how
to walk. Some loiter along with half
head, half alive air, while others mad
" rush as if but a moment of time
was theirs.
Now. there is much character in a
walk it should embody energy, ambi-
ton and enterprise, and at the same
time grace and dignity.
To walk for health certain prepara-
tions should be made. In cold weather
the clothing should be warm. but not
heavy. The clothing should be loose,
for tight garment restricts circula-
ton. The skirt should be short and
the shoes should be low-heeled, wide
and thick-soled.
Deep breathing goes hand in hand
with walking. and it is good habit
to breathe rhythmically, counting the
while.

This is applied to the skin frequently

How to Cure a coldsore.

and annoying, a cold sore is most dis
figuring to the face and mouth. The
best way in which to cure this pain
full little blister is to moisten it with
camphor to dry it up. Peroxide of hy-
drogen also is an excellent remedy, and
it may be applied by moistening a
piece of absorbent cotton with the cam
phor and then daubing it on the sore,
or else it may be applied with the tip
of the finger. If the scab forms for
any reason. cold cream should be ap-
piled literally to keep it soft and pre-

Since IL has become usual for young
or sons OF the English aristocracy to
engage in the automobile business. It
is extremely difiicult for the ordinary
purchaser to distinguish between the
professional chauffeur and the aristo-
cratic driver who occasionally ex.
hibits a car to client. There are at
least 30 young Englishmen of noble
families studying the fine points Of
motoring and taking customers for
trial runs. with the result that some
amusing mistakes are made.

himself agreeable, and when the car
returned to the big house in Belgra-
