Daily Chronicle Warns Great Britain
Against Accusing United States.

London, August 27.-The Daily
Chronicle in a long article warns the
English government of the danger
of England becoming embroiled with
the United States over questions of
contraband Of war and urges that
any cstrangcmcnt between the two

this provision presents a very real

the right of search, which the United

which was the cause of the war of

THE HURRYING HABIT

1t is generally agreed that the bus
Ting, hurrying man is not the best
worker. Too much of his energy is
expended in stirring up the dust.
Some men fall into the habit of hur-
rying, or feeling in a hurry-which
is about the same thing. When bruin
goes after man. he should get up
his speed; but that's quite a different
matter. This hurrying habit is fatal
to good work. Nothing is done right
when the worker is possessed by this
feeling; the friction is too intense.
Such n worker cannot return from his
occupation at night with a satisfying
consciousness of having his work well
done.

ONE FROM HOPPER

At the Lambs one night number
Of players, forsaking for once talk of
shop, were discussing the wonders OF
invention and the discovery during the
past century, when d. Wolf Hopper
got fresh.
During the lull in the conversation
the tall comedian ventured to observe,
with becoming gravity, that to him
the most wonderful of inventions was
dynamite.
"Why DYNAMITE" asked someone,
falling for Hoppers gag.
Because there's nothing in the
world that can hold candle to it,"
said Hopper.
Whereupon they chased him from
the place.

WOMAN MANAGES EVERY

gives US some interesting facts about
woman's queer traits" in Pictorial
Review for August. She says:
The traditions and habits of domcs-
ticiy have become so fixed that wo-
men who are quite capable Of thinking
to good purpose on matters of re-
form, education and civics, seem to
stop thinking when it concerns the
best use of their own time and
strength. There is an apparent re
version to the attitude of the pcou.

Unconsciously moved by this tradi-
tional attitude the exceptional woman.
as often as not, commits the same
fault of giving hrself too hcedessly

immense correspondence, she had no
other study than the living room and

As for what is worth while when

One sees them frittcring away their
resources because they cannot refrain
from buying whatever they see or

save IN the wrong place. The woman
who darns the family stockings to the

would have saved several dollars.

 Hardly his equal-for there is no one now. playing second base who is that.
