There is a perpetual restessnsss from
which it is impossible to get away. In
| Berlin one must get on-p&sh on, hur.

| Berliners do not In their scramble
neglect minor details, such as minute
order and cleanliness I'm every path OF
life.
This has been a topic of caricature
and ridicule for many years, but there
ID no doubt that the order has become
now more a natural development than
a police enforcement. A city growing
at the pace Berlin grows, with the
amount Of business 1t concentrates
must have order.
Artistically 1t Is In a very curious II
not unique position. The art OF the
past is wonderfully represented In the
museums. The Kaiser Frederick gal.

SoME ARE POOR.

-
Some people are poor because their
IDEAS are larger than their purses.
They think the world owes them q
living.
They do not keep account of their
expenditures.
They try to do what others expect
Of them, not what they can afford.
The parents are economical, but the
children have ~extravagant ideas.
They prefer to incur debts rather
than to do worn which they consider
beneath them.
They risk all their eggs in one bas
ket when they are not in a position to
watch or control 1t.
They think it will be time enough
to begin to save for a rainy day when
the rainy day comes.
The only thing the daughters accom-
plish Is to develop fondness for sn arl
clothes and expensive jewelry.
They do not realize that one expen
sive habit may introduce them to q
whole family of e~xtravagant habits.
On a moderate income, they try to
compete in appearance with a wealthy
neighbor.
They believe they have been able to
make much in the business they under.
stand best, but have thought that they
could make a fortune by investing in
something they know nothing about

Ss-Cslled, Ii the same No Matte
Where He Lives.
The normal temperature Of a huma
being is generally given as 1886 dt
grees. but the statement must b.
slightly qualified. 1t is the norma
temperature when taken by placing tn,
thermometer under the tongue or H.
the armpit or the groin. The surface
temperature Of the head. hands or alb
domen varies from SO degrees to 93 de
grees, or ever lower. That Of the In
ternal regions may 60 up to lO2,2 de
grees, that being the average heat Of
the blood circulating In the liver and
some other organs.
But 9S.6 degrees Ia called the norma.
temperature Of a human being, and II
doesn't matter whether he lives in th'
Desert OF Sahara or In Greenland, as
cording to a writer In the Technical
World. Awake or asleep, at work o.
just loafing, a mans temperature re
mains practically at this level. When
II varies more than a fraction OF o
degree 1t Is because the heat regulat
ing mechanism is ~disarranged by dis
ease or by abnormal conditions OF
some sort. Excessively high measures
Of heat may be borne for several min
utes by an Individual without raising
his temperature more than a fraction
Of a degree. Persons who sometimes
are styled human s~alamanders have
given exhibitions Of their ability to
stand high temperatures

MORE TROUBLE FOR D. q. R.
CORPORATION Counsel Has Two Com
plants Ready; Others In Sight.

plants READY OtHeTs ~ SiS"As
The Detroit United railway IL fast
piling UP trouble for itself by refusing
10 accept workingmen's tickets on the
stretch of track between the old and
the new city limits out Grand River
ave. Corporation Counsel Hally now
has two complaints ready for fling,
and probably will have a couple of
more when Wednesday, complaint
day, rolls around.
James Walsh, the employe OF the
CORPORATION counsel's Office who Ia
gathering the evidence for these COM
plants, was put of the car, Saturday
night, when he offered q working
mans ticket in payment OF his fare.
This will be the basis OF one OF the
complaints Walsh will go out again
Monday evening. on the same mis-
sion to do so as long as the company
keeps on refusing to accept the
tickets.
On top of this comes evidence that
the company is violating the edlct of
the supreme court with respect to the
'Fairyiew district. Mr.. Hally has re-
ceiyed a letter from J. w. Berns, q
member of the Crosse Pointe village
council, who complains that an extra
fare was demanded of him between
the Jefferson car barns and the Alter
road after he had once paid his fare
with a three-cent ticket. when he
boarded the car down town. At the
harms a new crew took charge OF the
car and the conductor proceeded to
collect another fare from everybody
as, tho car Mr.. Hally will advise Mr.
Berns to demand his nickel back and,
II the company refuses to give 1t, to
bring suit as a matter of principle.

hALLF TO PREPARE
PHONE ORDINANCE
Committee Recommends That He Go
Ahead With Measure To Provide
Reasonable Regulation.

Definite steps toward securing ade-
Quate telephone service at reasonable
rates and under reasonable regula-
tons were taken, Monday morning, In
. meeting OF the special committee ap-
pointed over two years ago to investi-
gate the question The committee.
headed by Aid. Ellis. decided to recon-
mend to the council. Tuesday night.
that Corporation Counsel Hally be In
structed to draft an ordinance cover
Ing the subject and that he be allowed
to employ such assistance as he
deems necessary to. secure the needed
Information. Mr.. Hally told the CON-
mittee that he would be ready to start
In about three weeks.
This plan was stoutly opposed by
Aid. Freiwald and Field. who main
tanned that II was the committees
duty to make the investigation and Sc
cure the data to be used by Mr.. Hally
In drafting the ordinance. The conn.,
mittee had no right. they contended,
to delegate such powers to the cor
poration counsel, and charged that
the other members we're trying to
shirk their duty. In q yelled way 1t
was suggested that the corporation
counsel had been responsible for
much OF the delay In taking up the
investigation.
The action taken by the committee.
Monday, was based on the opinion rem
dered by Mr.. Hally last week to the
effect that the council has power 70
regulate the rates and service OF the
telephone companies. Aid. Grindley
moved at the outset that MIR. Hally be
instructed to 60 ahead with the prep
aration OF an ordinance, and the mat
ter was argued for about an hour be-
fore vote was TAKEN Aid. Field 3
amendment, which Freiwald seconded,
providing for an Investigation by the
committee, was defeated by vote OF
7 to S. Grindley's motion then car
ried, Field and Freiwald still holding
out against 1t.
To secure the Information necessary
for the framing OF the ordinance 1t
will be necessary to hire an expert.
and inquiries will have to be made
In other cities as to the rates that
obtain there. For this purpose the
council already has appropriated
1000. When Mr.. Hally has prepared
the ordnance ne Will suUIuit IL 10 thC
council, and the telephone companies
will then be given an opportunity to
come In and be heard on the PROPOSE
ton. That the courts will be called
upon to determine the validity Of such
an ordinance Is regarded as almost
certain, and one Of the main reasons
why the majority OF the committee
favored turning the work over to Mr..
Hally was the certainty that he would
be called upon to defend the ordinance
in court.
The special telephone committee Is
composed of the committees on pub
lie utilities and ordinances. Those
present, Monday morning. were: Aid.
Ellis, chairman: Allan, Grindley. Fre[
valid, Walsh, Garvey, 0oeschel, Gut
man. Field, Deimei, Koenig and Rein
hardt.
During the discussion Mr.. Hally an
nounced that he would begin suit TO
establish the city's title to the old
Peoples Telephone Co. conduits,
which were purchased by the Mich[
gan State Telephone Co.. as soon as
he had made up his mind as to the
form OF procedure.
