PROOF OF THE MAN.

Unthinking and self-engrossed
young womanhood is apt to plume
itself on a lovers devotion 30 COM
plete that it leaves no room for even
common courtesy to the rest Of the
world.
This type of girl rather prides
herself on the passion she has in
spired, when her lover crushes care
lessly past any woman to get to her,
and all the time if she knew men,
she might feel pang of fear as
to her own future.
Once the fever of his love dream
is over, just with the careless dis
courtesy with which he treats other
women will her lover treat her after
marriage.
The best proof that a man viii
prove as kind and considerate hus-
band as he is in his unfailing cour-
tesy and consideration to all women.
Because he loves one does not
make a gentleman less gentle-but
more.

Bows Corn Growing Contest for
The County.

The several committees of the
Commercial Club enjoyed another
very profitable meeting and
luncheon together at the Hoxsey
last Friday.
Secretary r. f. Race reported
results of the Board of Directors
meeting held Thursday night,
one action taken being the adop-
ton of the following resolution
Resolved, that this CONNER
cial Club cooperate with the
State Board of Agriculture, and
the Northern Cross State High.
way Association, and the County
Court, and the Eight Mile Road
District Commission and the
farmers along the Northern
Route for the purpose of inaugu-
rating system of dragging the
roads along the Northern Route. F"
Another action of the Board
was the passage of a resolution
favoring the reduction of letter
postage from two to one cent, and
calling upon Congressman Champ
Clark to work for this reduction.
The proposed Boys Corn Grow
ing Contest for the county was
thoroly discussed and rules gov
erning the same will be published

cost. There will be two first anu

for the best sample of quality and
prize for the best yield on an
acre Of ground.
W. j. Morris, of the Shoe Fac

that the subway under the rail-

is one of the greatest needs of
the city. The superintendents of
the Wabash and G.. G. A. roads
by motion are urged to meet
with the Club to consider imme-
diate action for this improvement.
Clay Mcclure, foreman of the
recent grand jury, made state
ment as to the attitude of that
body as regards the building of

unanimous for a new structure

be held this spring, but later up
on the consideration Of the costs,
reported favoring a vote for
bonds at the general election in
November. One of the members
OF the grand jury, after his in
Spection of the old jail, said ::
Why, if were sick in bed and
knew my hogs were quartered in

SAYS THE SNAIL IS BLIND
Patient investigator Finds That It's
So-ealIed Eyes Are Not Or
gans Of Vision.

The snail docs not receive in th
country the attention that Euro
pcous see fit to bestow upon him.
For some time a controversy has
been gong on between scientists
lh.ry over the question Of the eye
s,eht Of the humble mollusc.
One school holds that the eyes of
tho snail cannot stand the bright
sunlight, and point to the fact that
he takes his leisurely walks abroad
at night, and that he has a. fondness
for the shade.
Now comes "A patient investigator
named Nung, who claims that the
snail doesn't see at all. He has made
2,ioo experiments upon 116 speci-
mems, and he SAYS that when you
put snails into an inclosure where
there is both light and shade, their
distribution is a matter of chance.
The snail, he says, does not shun
the light so much as he hunts for Sc
chsion.
His conclusion is that the snail
docs not perceive obstacles in his
uath until he bumps into them; his
speed being low, he escapes injury.
Having once selected a resting place,
flashing lights into his apology for
face does not disturb him. If you
put bright object like the head of a
pin or tiny mirror within the
twcnty-ffth of an inch from his
so-called eyes he pays no attention.
To complete his experiments, Mr..
Hung amputated the organs of sight
from several snails and couldn't find
that it made any difference in their
happy, if placid, lives.

Amateur Aviator Demands Recon-

New York, July 17.-What is prob

by an aviator to recover accident in
surance for injuries received while fly
ing is now before the state supreme
court here, brought by Albert Ridge
lev, who is a financial writer when he
is not flying. He took an accident
policy in the defendant company in
1911 under which he was insured for
$3.50 a week. He fell in July, 1911,
while he was learning to fly, although
as he deposed, he used great care. His
complaint alleges that he suffered
from his injuries for "a weeks.
The writer-a aviator filed his claim
properly but the company repudiated
it, alleging that the contract provided
that he had not in contemplation any
hazardous journey nor undertaking
not required by his business.

Revision of Train Rules Pre-
dicted in United States.
Standard Code Suggested by
Commerce Commission.
AN AID TO EMPLOYEES
Would Be Able to Go From One
Road to Another.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

New York, July IA meeting is IN
progress in this city of the transpor-
tation committee of the American Rail-
way association, composed of repre-
sentatives of nine of the leading rail-
ways of the country for revision Oh
the standard code of train rules. Some
thing over a year ago the Interstate
commerce commission suggested to the
American Railway association that
compIete revision of the rules should
he made. so that the commission could
a6ont them as standard for all rail-
roads of the country, after when
changes in them could only be maue
nv order of the commission. About nVe
wears ago the transportation commit
tee. after more than two years of Ia
hor. completed a uniform code OF train
r,1Ies. which was adopted by the asso-
citation.
while in the main these rules are
used by all roads, many OF the prlI'Cl-
pal roads have made more or less
changes in them. so that these rules,
while known as standard, are not
of uniform application. Under the
proposed plan every road in the coun-
trv would use the same code of rules
in its entirety, so that an employees
going from one road 10 another would
not have to learn new rules.
The subcommittee of the transpor-
+ation committee has now completed
the revision of the general body OIL
rules, and these are being gone over
nv the full committee. The subcom-
r1ittee is now working on the inter
locking and block signal rules, and
will have the revision of these ready
to present to the main committee some
time this fall.
