WHY RAISE YOUR HAT?"
Motto of a Society for Promotion of
German Mode of Greeting.

Why raise your hat?" is the motto
of the Society for the Promotion of
German Modes OF Greeting. whose
headquarters are at DarmStadt. 1t is
a wasteful habit, because it wears out
the hat brim. 1t is unhealthy be
cause in bad weather it is apt to bring
on colds. And, worst of all, it is I'M
patriotic, for the custom was adopted
from the French, the first nation in
Europe to bare the head as form
o. politeness. The true mode of greet
ing for Germans, we are told, is the
military salute, which is of purely Teu-
ton origin, having originated among
the officers of the Prussian Grenadiers
The society has gained many adher,
ents, and the inhabitants of Darn
stadt are now accustomed to see ell
derby civilians stand rigidly to atten-
ton and bring the hand smartly to
the forehead when they meet acquaint-
ances in the street.
The mere salute, without raising the
hat will be welcomed by many of us,
for when we wear the soft hat or the
cloth cap we find it easy enough 10
pluck it off. But how to return it to
its place? There is no brim-the
clutch of courtesy is stopped midway,
and there is no courtier living who
can take off golf cap and return it
to his head gracefully. So let us agree
not to take off our hats, but merely
indicate with our hands that we would
take them off if we could put them
on again.-London Chronicle.

CONSISTENCY WITH CHILDREN
Mischiei Should Not Be Laughed At
Ono Day and Punished the Next.

On" Of the greatest faults in train
ing our children is a lack of consist
ency. We hake a great mistake in
laughing at cunning baby prankS that
Will some day cease to be amusing.
When the 2-year-old baby feels her
self badly misused and sulks in the
corner with cOnical look of offended
dignity on her face it is laughable, but
when the 6-year-old girl screams in
a passion because she cannot wear her
new dress out to play in it is not so
funny And yet the principle involved
in both instances is the same and the
poor child is the sufferer.
Little William had been taught not
TO touch the piano and very seldom
disobeyed, but one day he grew rest
less. and watching mother and Aunt
Mary out of the corner of his eyes
went over to the piano and down came
the little fist on the shiny keys. He
walked away with such look of COM
plete innocence that mother and auntie
both laughed heartily, and auntie
caught him up with kiss and carried
him out to see the kittens. But the

little boy soon discovered the piano
and started to play. His mother spoke
to him, but he paid no heed, so she
rose and started to close the piano
but Master William objected and there
were angry screams and mother had
to carry the little boy to her chair.
Any why not? Yesterday it had been
play; they had laughed at him then,
so why not today? 1t was injustice
to his baby heart and he rebelled If
no attention had been paid to the baby
when she .sulked she would have soon
tired of her lonesome corner and for
gotten her grievance, and if William
reminded of the piano being a forbid
den thing and his attention directed
to something else. he probably would
not have troubled the piano again. A
good idea if the baby sulks is to leave
the room Immediately. With no at
tention a baby's offended dignity wears
off, and with no audience a screaming
child will soon tire of its tantrum. But
babies demand attention, and if we
laugh at them for some little mischief

VILE FIX VALUES
State Board Of Assessment Will Put
in Week Figuring


Pierre-The state assessment board
meets today and will put in most OF
the week on the assessment OF corpor-
ate property. Just what will be done
in the way of changing valuations OF
such property Is yet to be developed.
OF course there will be a slight in
crease In valuations of telephone oper-
ating in the state on new companies
which have made returns, but they
are all small companies with a low
valuation, and the increase in that d.
rection will not be heavy. With the
work OF physical valuation of rail-
ways of the state not yet completed,
and the further fact that a suit Is
pending in the United States court in
which the question of railway valua-
tons in the state is one Of the vital
factors, It is not likely that the board
will make any radical changes in such
valuations for the year. There Is no
new mileage to add, and the chances
appear to be that the figures for cor
porate property will nots how any
thing heavy in the way Of increases.
Whether or not personal property
valuations will show up any great In
crease depends upon the manner In
which assessors have done their work.
The personal property assessment Is q
farce at the best, and not much can
be expected from that source. But
there will be an increase Of fully ten
million dollars in lands. This Is Sc
cured through the assessment Of new
lands and the increases on valuations
of lands in the different counties,
which was fixed by the county audit
ors at their meeting last March. The
new lands will show an increase of
practically Ave million dollars, and
the net increases in assessed valua-
lions in lands in the older counties
will show as much more.
The total assessed valuation OF the
state last year was $3.50, 000. 900. For
this year the total is likely to go to
about 1926, 0O0, 900, but is hardly likely
to reach three hundred million, re-
~gardless of the increase Of nearly for
ty million last year. If the increase
gets up to fifteen million this year 1t
will be doing better than the tndi-
cations at present show for it.
