When to Say Coodby.

One of the few things which CRATE
upon ones nerves and that has not
been entirely eliminated in the rapid
development of the telephone is the
practise of not saying 'goodby' or
some other suitable closing remark
when finishing telephone converse
ton. Many of us have experienced
the 'click" In the car caused by the
party on the other end of the line
slamming the receiver on the hook
before we were through talking. 1t
leaves a doubt in our mind whether
the conversation Is finished. If the
remarks are concluded with a polite
'goodby'' or something similar no
room for doubt Is left. None of us
are so busy but that we can sacrifice
''lost motion" for politeness. especial
ly when only a word of two is in
volved. From every angle the voice
with the smile WINS for it inculcates
in our minds the real idea of tele.
phony. But the voice that neglects to
say parting word of courtesy leaves
a bad impression. which retards to a
large extent the still wonderful rise
of an invention whose progress must
necessarily be built around polite
ness.--New York Telephone Review.

Suggests Soda Water Probe.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The work of your esteemed paper
in standing up for pure food prompts
me to write to ask whether our local
Health Board is keeping a strict
watch upon the manufacture and COM
position of the several kinds of soda
waters, of which so much is con-
sumed in the summer. We read the
other day of raid upon the makers
of these beverages In Brooklyn, and
their subsequent punishment for
using coal-tar dyes to color their
wares.
The vividness of the hues in some
of these waters suggests that HARM
less extracts are not always used in
their making. They are largely con-
sumed by children, and the thought
that we are poisoning young America,
it seems to me. is reason enough to
be especially apprehensive on this
score. Yours truly
sUBURBANITE.

Isaiah Sellers, of the New Orleans
| Picayune.
Just as Mark Twain easily ranks
superior to any other American hui
morous writer, SO does he seem to
have exceeded them all in the variety
of his experiences and the extent of
his wanderings into the odd corners
of our country. When in Nevada he
became a reporter and staff writer.
1t was there that he first learned his
power of expression For a time he
tried mining, going to California and
other gold mining districts. In San
Francisco he tried his hand at jour-
nalism again, and took a trip to the
Sandwich Islands, which he wrote up
for local paper From 1869 to 1871
he was editor of prominent Buffalo
daily.
An experience that undoubtedly had
great effect upon Mark Twain's per-
sonal character, bringing him friends
in great number who until that time
had known him simply as humorous
writer of considerable ability, was the
failure of his business. In 1884 he be-
came owner, with others. of a pub
fishing house. The business failed
ten years later with large liabilities
Mark Twain accepted responsibility
for these debts, toured the world in a
triumphant lecture tour, and paid
them entire.
1t is hard for us Of the present day
critics, living still in the memory of
Mark Twain's delightful personality,
with his mirth provoking after dinner
speeches still ringing In our ears, to
say just how he will be measured
as humorist or as a serious writer;
he has written so much of both kinds
all good.

The fact that the Newark Club owes
much of it's success this season in
the International League race to it's
own southpaw pitchers was again
amply Illustrated yesterday, when
Wyatt Lee won his fourth straight
game for the Bengals. Lee is doing
for the Tigers just now what he did
for them three seasons ago, when the
Tigers were in sore straits for pitch
ers and Joe McGinnity and Lee
shouldered the burden of the Bengals'
pitching. 1t was closer race that
season and Newark lost out because
Lee was overworked when it came
down to the final sprint.
Wyatt has been doing more than his
share of twirling since Johnny Enz-

gruelling rounds to win a I'll victory
over Bill Donovan yesterday, but he

The largest crowd Of the season
and by far the best racing of the year

yesterday afternoon. Every one Of
the eight races on the bill was hotly
contested and the results were In
doubt until the final tape was
reached. Thorwald Ellegaard, of Den
mark, took his match with ALI Gren-
da, the Australian, in straight heats,

ship came up to expectations, al
though he was far from being in his
best form.

was won by ALI Goullet, another
Australian. from a classy field of

mer was missing as a result of being
disqualified for switching Vedrine. OF
France. in his heat which he won
from Joe Fogler and Herman Packe-
busch, of Germany. The tandem race

nished one of the greatest contests

jabs and jolts as we'll as speed fig

the riding of young Aubrey Taylor.
the amateur champion of Australia,
who signalized his first appearance
here by taking both of the open races
for amateurs.
Great interest was shown In the
Ellegaard-Grenda match, and the
Dane received q great ovation when
he led the way home for the Aus

that the bat was made of a sheet of
