Have you never heard the telephone

connection is abruptly broken. No apol-
ogy, not the slightest infection of voice
or turn of speech to indicate the speak
er's polite regret at the inconvenience
she has caused. She feels that we do not
know who she is, and so graciousness is
unmportant.
This style of conduct is common in

likeness and consideration are desirable,
not because they make the world pleas

the moment such eXpedieney seems I'M
necessary they revert to their innate
boorishness.
The man who puts his dusty feet on

For more than twenty years our coun-
try has been playing hide and seek with
the trusts and the economic questions
which have come with them, vet we are
apparently no nearer solution than
when we started. Consequently, it
might not he bad idea to try a plan
similar TO the one to be tried in Ger
many. As soon as the necessary legis-
lation can be put through, the Reich.
stag apparently it has been agreed on,
a corporation nominally private but UNI
der government supervision, will have the
sole right to sell oil and oil products
at wholesale in Germany. The capital
stock of the concern is to be privately
owned. but no dividends above the pre-
vailing rate OF interest may be earned
on the stock. Prices of oil are to be re-
adjusted every three months. and four
ffths of the profits when prices are at
minimum are 10 accrue 20 the empire.
But il Is not 10 gain revenue that the
undertaking is to be launched. IL is
rather TO protect the public against trust
domination. IL there be a monopoly
say the Germans, the government must
practically own and control IL. There
seems to be some sense and consistency
in Germany's treatment Of the trust
problem.

Care of Sponges.

These useful articles are often neg
lected. They require frequent attention
in order to keep them fresh and clean.
The soap should not be rubbed upon
them, nor should they be allowed to lie
for any length of time in soapy water.
When cleaning them use soft water,
in which 4 geenrous quantity of borax
has been dissolved.
Let them soak for several hours.
Squeeze them out, rinse in clear water
and dry them in the sun.
