A reader of the New York Sun
writes To that paper calling attention
to the fact that women cashiers al
ways look as though they had
gudge against the world and every
thing in 1t. The lady cashier has
become nm institution in New York,
ond may be found in almost every no
tel, restaurant and business house
where much money is handled. And,
according to this correspondent, she
always wears the stern, forbidding
face.
The correspondent naturally won-
ders what her object is. lie is of the
opinion that she would make friends
for her employers, and consequently
improve their business, If she would
unbend little. She need not be friv-
olous or eoquettish, but she might
smile occasionally without doing vio-
lence to her reputation.
As a matter of fact the frozen face
Is characteristic of cashiers, men and

good many people have wondered in
an idle way, why it is necessary. When
a patron Of Il business establishment
spends mis- money he should be greeted
with some show of cordiality, but he
generally finds himself in an arctic
atmosphere, that takes all the en-
| thuslasm out of him.
This matter should be investigated
at once, and while we are at IL there
might be some satisfaction in trying
to discover why hotel clerks, all over
the country, consider it the proper
thing TO elothe themselves with an
lawful dignity, instead Of being urbane
and companionable. Many excellent
Icitizens sleep in box cars rather than
go TO a hotel and be chilled to the
marrow by the scornful glances of the
young man with the banged hair.

French Aviator is Winner in Big Race.
Nine Airmen Finish Course.

PARIS, July Lieutenant Con-
neau, whose racing name is Andre
beaumont, won the l,000-mile inter-
national circuit aviation race which
|ended today at the aviation field at
Vincennes. AS he already had won
the Paris-to-R Rome contest, Conneau
brings added glory to the French
navy, of which he is an officer. Gar
ros was second and Vidart finished
third.
OF the fifty aeroplanists who took
wing Mt Vineennes on June 16 nine
reached the final goal. Two of the
racers, LaMartin and Adron and Cap
ron Priueetau, who had been detailed
TO work out problems in reconnaissance
in connection with the race, were kill
ed ON the opening day. Several 9TH
ers received serious injuries from
falls.
The course took the airmen through
four countries, from Paris across to
Belgium and from Holland over the
English channel to London and return.
Prizes aggregating hundred thou
sand dollars were given.
The nine survivors started at Calais
at 6 o'clock this morning on the final
leg to Paris, with stop at Amiens.
Kimmerling had a bad fall into
wheat field. His machine capsized and
was demolished. The aviator for a
wonder escaped injured and motored
back TO Calais where he procured a
new aeroplane and made fresh start.
Today the project Of police forbade
aviators flying over Paris and ordered
them to make detour Of the city.
The racers were given splendid
welcome as they came to earth. The
Vincennes woods rang with cheers as
Beaumont stepped out of his machine.
Fellow officers rushed up and first en-
braced, and then carried him off the
field in triumph.
