1t was said of the men who had worked along the docks in New York

It was said of the men who had worked along the docks in New York before the war suddenly paralyZed commerce and left them in direst want. ''They had so much work and made such big wages that they never thought, of a change coming, so that few of them had ever known what it was to economize.''
 The wasteful spirit of parents eH tends to their children and is copied by them.
 ,, The boy or girl who voluntarily gathers up apples, or chips, or cares for the garden or lawn, or sweeps the walk, or in fact does anything thor oughly or well. is getting to be almost as rare as the dodo! It is foolishly wealth and the power which it brings, to live Iavishly, carelessly, often dis honestly in fact, since what is wasted too often belong to others-in wasted material and goods not paid for.
 The habit of waste leads to dis regard for the property of others. The tenant thinks he is not geeting his moneys worth, unless he defaces the walls, damages the woodwork, wears out before their time the blinds and gates and stairs and what not on his landlords property. There is no con science in throwing away or abusing ones own possessions, no realization that one is merely a steward;- con sequently there is even less compunc- ton about doing damage to what is one's neighboF's.
 Perhaps, as one beneficial effect of the terrible war, people will have to learn how to economize-some have had to learn the lesson already-and there may be formed this needed Anti Waste Guild, to leave 8 clean, thrifty, careful nation!

"oirt is aood material out of place."

'Dirt is good material out of place." is the modern axiom. Now what ap pears to be dirt to the eyes of one, to another has in it the possibilities of utility and money-Talue. Fortunes are made in the collection of what care less persons throw away. No city has yet made important enough the work of the junk man and scavenger, the real cleanup agents!
 It is an American characteristic to do things with a swagger which inn plies that, oh, well, we are the biggest people on the globe, and 9. fig for being stipgy, anyway! So we order at our meals so many dishes that even the stomach of the ostrich could not di- gest them, and after a taste of each. we waste the rest.
 We scorn the careful methods and strict economy of peoples of other lands; we fancy it implies generosity to scatter plenty about; and while this spirit Of bigness and prosperity has it's merits, it leads unconaciously to arI extravaganza and carelessness and wastefulness certain to end wrong.

l was reading story the other day of the visit of a Bishop to d Catholic school in the South of Ireland, and he asked the pupils if there was q single crime worse than murder. and one of the girls said: There is. On being asked what the crime was she replied: '<Perjury. ''Why is perjury a worse crime than murder?'' asked the Bishop. "Because,'' replied the girl, "a periurer has called upon God to witness that lie is telling the truth. and makes him a partner in falsellood.' It is plain enough to see what a man is doing to his own soul when he ven lures to put himself in such rela- tion to his Maker. I must confess the snornity of the offense was never be- fore put before me in such @ light, and this is the only eXcuse l expect to
 make for presenting it to those who read this column. If those who are tempted to make false oaths realized what it meant to them it would cause them to avoid it, and perjury would not be as common as it is in the courts of all countries today. Plutarch says of 8, liar: He first despises God and then fears men, Truth can stand alone, but Q lie ventured upon re- duires a hundred more to give it sup port.

We cannot get along without the mirror although it is often derided by man as the chief instrument of Van- ity. If man and woman had not seen themselves in the early age of the race mirrored in Gods smooth pure picture reversing and revealing waters, the hand mirror would never have been invented. The ref1ecting surface is really of divine origin, al- though it's use has come to be far from being divine. A woman uses a mirror to make herself attractive, to add beauties which are artificial. A man uses the mirror to determine whether he looks like a. hero or a. gay Lothario, or mental giant, and too many men imagine they see a hero every time they look in the glass. Man taunts woman of being vain, and she takes the iibe with 8 sardonic smile, for no one has the grip upon the weaknesses Of man like a woman. In vanity as in most other things man and woman are very evenly matched, and from this fact came the. saying that the pot is calling the kettle black The mirror aids cleanliness as we'll as comeliness and is properly held in high esteem for it's best uses. e.

It makes no difference from which angle we view this financial problem, whether the state angle or the local angle. The dominating question is one of revenue. Nothing will be gained fpy transferring the burden from one pocket to another. The problem will still be one of increased revenues and decreased expenses. The way out is to make a study of the condition as was done during the administration of former Governor Cooke, and to fornu- late a budget system of revenues and expenditure which will possess some of the characteristics of science. The entire Connecticut financial system needs overhauling from top to bottom: New Haven Journal Courier.

It is hoped that the city will furnish the money to the health department so that it can engage nurses and start Fan active campaign against consump- ton in this community. It is a great work and the citizens of New Britain should stand bacl~of the board of health and see that it gets the neces sary funds to successfully combat tuberculosis. There is much to be done on the preventive side, as well as taking care of the patients when they are affected with the dread disease New Britain Record.

 Tn European countries, the poor peo- pie would have gatherd up all such branches, tWigs, limbs and tree trunks, and the fagots would be considered q godsend.

 What is needed to remedy the cry ing evil of waste, is some sort. of a national--or at least sectfonal-organ- i1ation, With agents paid by the scores of benevolent people who seem always willing and ready to go down into their pockets for any project proven to be for public betterment.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Do not think every person to whom you are introduced is anxious to con-
 tinue the acquaintance. There are 1ntroduct1onS by request which can be interpreted, of course, in no other way; but perhaps you do not care to con tlnue the acquaintance These social and business introductions are really or an unknown quantity until they have developed. It is every ones priv uege to be intimate with congenia1 people, to be social with people of sim liar feelings and tastes and to be civil toward all. This leaves no room for lnclVility because there is no need of it, for 1t is indefensible. An Introduction coEters no license, only the pleasure of acqualntance if it is a pleasure. I have como out of an Introduction feel ing as if had been up against q bear and was sorry did not have my gun with me. Many of these introductions you would check if you could are has a rasping effect upon your tyn panum although it was well intended. Take introductions as simple incidents in life. and if they develop into pleas ant relations they will be something m raore-sonetninS memorable, perhaps.
 The Golden Rule is all right, for it IS framed in love, of love, by Love, and is divine. It expresses the true spirit of holiness, and 1t will endure forever: but man prefers to make his own golden rule. the material of which IS selhshness so thinly plated with gold that it will not stand an acid test; and with this false measure he gets himself into all sorts of scrapes. Here are Russia. England, Germany and France with all the rest of the fight ing nations holding up the golden rule to their people and 1evoutly praying for the assistance of God when they are breaking all the commandments of which the Golden rule is a divine con- densation. I do not wonder the maxim still lives which gives man more credit for his hindsisht than his foresight or that those looking clear-eyed upon life make no secret of the fact that they behold t'the blind leading the blind" What the world needs is to have the good things made practical; we now have too many commercials.
