Holmes says that there are six peo-
pie present whenever two meet in con-
versation-the real A, the real B. A
as he sees himself, B as he sees him
SELF A as B sees him and B as A sees
him. The remark comes back when
one goes out upon the street and con-
siders himself and the other people
who pass, particularly those who seem
on the slippery road to success. 1t is
not they themselves who go by; it is
what they would have other people
think them. If they are young and
inexperienced they mus tighten up
their faces with an artificial solem-
nifty; if they are getting on in years
they must affect an artificial snappi-
ness They wear their outward as

ing in the ears of young men: BE

From 1890 to 1870 the actual work
of gathering census statistics was per-
formed by United States marshals, and
the enumerations varied in length
from ten to eighteen months. In 1880

TAXI DRIVERS VERY
 INsOLENT IN LONDON
Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The taxi shorl. age in London has caused the pub lie to fill the mail bags of the local newspapers with complaints regard ing the insolence of drivers and the Whlstllng nuisance. During rush hours especially during dinner and theater times, drivers often refuse to take fares unless they chance to be going in the direction the driver favors. This IS due to the rule that drivers when not carrying passengers must pay for their own gasoline. A movement for a law to prevent the use of whistles to call taxis is suggested, but while putting down nuisance, it would not help transportation facilities.
 The real trouble is traced to the enlistment of competent drivers. Be- cause of this, some of the taxi con- panies have temporarily retired from business. Scotland Yard has hindered the substitution of new drivers by refusal to relax on the strict geo. graphical examination of former days. Then, every candidate had to show an intimate knowledge of London's streets and by-ways Many women could easily qualify on the mechani- cal side and show fair general know edge of London, if the rules were re- axed Meantime, Londoners who used to look down on plebeian modes of travel are taking to the undergrounds and the buses, which maintain excel lent services notwithstanding the war

GERMANY HAS \ LARGE PEARL INDUSTRY
Associated Pressl

BERLIN, Feb. 17-It is not gen. 9rally known, but Germany has an ot inconsiderable pearl industry, and in the last leo years many thousanGs of the gems have been fished up out of the waters of the various German rivers.
 Bavaria has been the most produc- tive portion of the Empire. A total of 155,880 pearls, it is estimated, wer> sound there between 1874 and 1857, and the annual aggregate has only decreased as the waters of Bavarian rivers have been spoiled by various industrial projects.
 The most productive river has al ways been the Elster in Saxony, which for centuries has been rented to one family by the state. The year in, year-out, average has shown that from three to four pearls can be ob- tained from every 100 mussels fished up, and that one out of every IS pearls is of special value.
 About 300 pearls of value have been taken from the Blister by the family in question in the last decade, the of 1915 being the most pro- ductive, with 47 good examples.
