A PROUD DISTINCTION.

In a talk on department to a class
of 1000 shop girls by a matron of one
of the largest New York department
stores, she declared that the United
States is the home of true politeness.
and predicted that in twenty years this
nation will be known as the p~olitest
in the world.
MY pupils among American girls
are quicker to adopt courteous phrases
than those of European parentaga," the
matron told her audience. The latter
mistake the purpose Of the training
here, having a too recent memory of
the enforced servility among the
country is the consideration shown
equals. It's source is the courtesy
shown by husbands to wives, by wives
to husbands, and by both to their chill
dren."
Ever since the declaration of indie
p~endence asserted that every man was
born free and equal, equality has been
established as a principle in this oun-
try. The speakers description of true
~politeness is an apt one. To be polite
and obliging to an equal is a pleasure,
while the same disposition to yield
precedence, shown by one of a lower
class to a higher is servility. An
American citizen will go far out of his
way to oblige, while r~esenting a re-
quest made in a supercilious manner.
Sometimes the conduct of the end
seat hog, Of the shopper who sacrifices
the time and nerves of the .salesgirl
unnecessarily, and Of the altogether
selfish individual produces feeling of
dispalr, yet, the, disapproval which is
indicates that such are not
samples of the whole people.
If the prediction that the United
States is to be known as The po,itest
nation in a decade or two is fulfilled
the people are to be congratulated.
Such a reputation is not to be built
up hastily to order, but by long tested
evidences Of the possession of that
spirit of human kindness that DISPLAYS
itself in the every day walks of life.
Parents can give their children no
better heritage than training in true
~politeness. Happy the child who early
learns that a consideration for the
rights of others, is one of the trrlest
stamps of manliness or womanliness,
A reputation for courtesy born of the
knowledge of equality, rather than Of
inequality is a proud distinction for an
individual or a nation.

simply unemptiable. And this was a
plain matter of physics.
People in a panic rush along aisles
and down Stairways, with the pressure
OF more people behind them, and quite
out of control as a mass, even il half
of them keep their heads. When such
a living stream strikes a, narrow pass
age, Or encounters another stream of
flying people, it usually jams tight. On
a stairway wide enough for two per-
sons to walk abreast, but not wide
enough for three, the mass will press
together SO tightly that it cannot
move at all, even If the way be open
at the bottom. For individuals are
held together in actual arches all up
the stair and, as an arch grows
stronger with pressure, the greater the
jam. Generally the stair railing on
n side gives way, or the stair itself
falls under the weight of many tons.
If the people flow down a stair that
IS wide enough, and come up against
such an obstruction as the locked door
Of a theatre, they will pile upon one
another, until their bodies made it
possible. for the stream to flow out
through a transom window at the top
of the door. This has happened more
than once. And though these are not
nice details, they are facts about peo-
pie IN a panic. +
Given, a panic in a twelve-story loft
building, and eleven streams of people
from the different floors, pouring into
the n stair-well, would quickly fit. it
and jam it tight. When Mr.. Porter
undertook to organize a fire drill that
would empty such a building, he found
ne had undertaken something that was
.hopelessly impossible. Not more than
twenty to twenty-four persons per
floor could get out by a common four
Ioot stairway. The rest must either
jump or walt until the flow from below
had passed out.
IF a plumber were to install twelve
nathtubs,' he says, and connect them
all to a solitary one-inch drain pipe,
and then fill his tubs and pull ali the
plugs at once. you can see that they
would not empty very quickly. Archi-
would condemn a plumber for do
ing that. Yet this is just what was
being done legally with people and
stairways.
This startling situation kept the en-
glneer awake for two nights. All over

Washington, May 15.-Dr. j. N
Hurtz, health commissioner of Indiana,
n of those in attendance on the
meetings of physicians in Washington,
was not so timtd as the others when
the question of discussing DR.. Fried
rich Franz friedman and his alleg-
ed tuberculosis cure was under con-
stderation. He had an idea hat DR..
friedman vas in medicine some
thing like DR.. Cook was in .explora-
ton.
Government physicians who had
studied the friedman experiments in
New York were very guarded in their
statements about him and the turtle
cure. They intimated they did not
have much faith in it or it's author,
but would not directly advise against
it's use. DR.. Hurtz was among those
who were shocked by Friedmann's
sale of his cure for $3.50 and pro-
spectiVe profits to a syndicate after
various statements that he was not
looking for gain.

 Sixty six citizens of Nashville are named as stockholders in the Nashville News Company, of Nashville, which takes over the paper of that town.

Powers, secretary and treasurer.
 Two thousand hard simole0ns, real round dollars, were depos- ited in the State Treasury, Mon. day, by the sheriff of Benton county, and less than an hour later the same old distress sign floated above the treasury. The only reason the small sum of cash remained as long as it did was because the holders of war rants did not know there was real money in the treasury.
 On Saturday, May 17th, the annual school election will be held. It is of personal impor- tance to every citizen that per. sons capable and worthy are elected to the school board in the district, for the directors have very broad and discretionary powers, as well as full authority to handle the affairs of the-dis- trict, and, once elected, hold office for three years.
