COMMON COURTESY.

 employees. the Union Pacific railway calls their attention to the fact that
 courtesy and good will are of ines timable value in our daily life: incom-
 mercial life they are as important as brains and energy" The bulletin goes on to expounds this thought for the benefit of the employees of the great corporation. and to impress on them the need of it's application, says the Omaha Bee. The lesson might we'll be needed by others One of the regret table features of our busy life is the growing disregard of the little things that make mp much of our daily exist ence. We fail in common courtesy, where it would be just as easy to show a little consideration for others. It is not necessary 10 adopt a ceremonial formula for conduct in business: just q little thoughtfulness in the matter of dealing with others. a show of self-re- straint when the impulse is to push forward and grab. and a slight sign of at all times for the folks We meet along the way Is all that is needed.
 IL is easy to be courteous as 1t Is to be impolite: no more time is required to give a c11sfderate reply than to shut off the inquirer It will pay anybody to observe the suggestion of the Union Pacific to its employees.

The automobile is responsible for a change in the method by which a g cd many merchants in the suburbs SUD- ply themselves with goods from the city Nowadays there run out from the city in many directions motor ex- press vans. They are big five ton cars. carrying almost as much as a railroad baggage car and doing twen- ty miles an hour easily. They carry a lot of supplies to grocers. butchers and other tradesmen which formerly were brought by the railroad.
 Some of these motor expresses run out to the Connecticut line. Others run up the Hudson and many radiate These vans back up to a grocer's door. unload what they have for him and go speeding on to the next town. At night they make a return trip to the city.
 The sight of these motor expresses on the roads leading out of New York is now a familiar one. and between the towns along the Sound they fre- quently run as fast as thirty miles an hour They have taken the place Of the trolley express cars which were what changed the character of the express business done by the rail- roads. It is all a development of the last few years and 1t has quickened delivery to the suburbs.
 One thing which has led to the motor express is the improved condi-
