Business District for New York,


Planning a model business district
where the merchants, manufacturers,
realty owners and transportation
heads will cooperate in eliminating
the unnecessary friction in industry
and commerce due to unscientific
methods and lack of teamwork, the
Central Mercantile association has in
vited city officials to confer with its
directors as to the first steps which
may be taken to realize this ideal. This
associations industrial survey of New
York city and of the central mercan-
tile district is to be used as the basis
for the constructive program. Tenta-
tive plans include development along
industrial, residential, transportation
and real estate lines. Merchants and
manufacturers are working with rail
road and steamship officials to assure
the maximum efficiency of the central
mercantile districts shipping facili-
ties, which include the Chelsea docks
and the freight and passenger service
of many of the largest railroads. Co
operating with the city planning COM
mission, the Central Mercantile dis
trict is to be provided with restricted
zones for residential purposes, where
apartments of all types may provide
for 100000 workers in the plants of
the district.

GIRLS WITH HASTY TEMPERS.

The charms of youth at once are seen
and past;
And nature says: "They are too sweet to
last"
So blooms the rose, and so the blushing
maid.
Be gay, not cross. Too soon the flowers
of spring will fade.
1t is always the most seemingly per-
feet peach that is found to have a
speck on it. 1t is always the ideal
maiden who possesses just one little
fault that keeps her out of the earth
angel class and puts her II the ranks
of human girlhood.
Those who live under the roof with
a girl are the first to discover her
failipgs. In all the catalogue of faults
none is so hard for those about her to
contend with as hasty temper. Each
and every member of the family is
obliged to be constantly on his or her
guard lest by some thoughtlessly spo-
ken word or act her temper may be
aroused and family quarrel ensue.
To imagine child is born with g.
hasty temper is a mistake. The spirit
is fostered in the child in infancy.
am sorry to say philosophers and doc
tors at large firmly assert the mother
has much to do with cultivating q
baby's bad temper or succeeding by
patience in roofing it out.
It is said that the child soon discov-
ers that it can have anything it wants
by screaming hard enough for it, re-
fusing to be quelled until it conquers.
Exasperated mothers, with nerves all
atingle, do anything, give them what
they want, to hush the distressing
cries. Through childhood. girlhood
and into woDanhood they carry the
wand which has proved SO successful
for them

Acouaintances. friends and sweet
hearts are not so amenable as their
family and refuse to give. the girl with
a hasty temper her own way. There
fore she gets many a jolt and heart
ache as she goes through life.C
If she must earn her own living
hasty temper is the most serious
drawback she could be cursed with.
Employer or fellow workers will not
submit to her will She soon discov-
ers that her lack of Judgment in not
holding her peace and her tongue has
cost her good position.
After a few such experiences, she
practices that which she should have
been made to do in childhood-curbs
her angry emotions by strong will
power.
The most pitiful thing that can hap
pen young woman is to carry hasty
temper into her married life. All of
the happiness of her after life depends
upon the disposition of the man she
has annexed. If he is of peaceful
nature, abhoring contention, he will
most likely continue to give her her
own way just as her home folks have
done and live in continual turmoil
ever after. These are the husbands
who are apt to vote marriage failure.
Sweethearts' quarrels usually mean
that one or the other possesses a has
ty temper 1t should be overcome in
the trying school of courtship. A
hasty temper is the cause of more
misery in this world than most people
are aware of. This is just word of
warning to those who need it.

forth in search of kindred heart. Inc
same desire animates ali species en-
lowed with life-to answer to the
trumpet call of spring.
Few men like to change their mode
of living in the cold of winter. They
are costly housed and comfortable and
are not averse to letting it go at that.
In the springtime. mixed with the JOY
of living, certain twinge of lonell-
ness creeps in. He longs to be in the
open, to have someone near who en-
joys the sunshine as much as he does.
Aye, and when the balmy evenings
come, heralding the delights OF sum-
mer, the human nature in him cries
out necessarily for someone's dear lit
tie hands to hold. someone to make
love to, not lightly with no further
thought than the enjoyment of gol-
den hour, but with the earnest inten-
ton of wooing in the spring and we'd
ding while the glorious summer is
still here. That is why so many
matches are made in summer.
Women, too, are moved by spring
influences in affairs of the heart. The
girl who has steadfastly refused to
look upon a man in the light OF a
lover while the world was white and
cold in it's mantle Of snow and ice
more often than not changes her mind
without apparent rhyme or reason as
the warm, sweet Gays draw on apace.

story under the light of the May moon.
If he has not quite arrived at the pro-
posing time, for enc reason or an
other, by that mystical month, any 9TH
er month of the dear old summertime
will do, but the earlier the better. A
happy man is he who has taken time
by the forelock, has passed through
the courtship state successfully and is
awaiting a glorious spring day to have
the wedding solemnized.
Why not make your vacation we'd
ding trip? Many man has settled
the question in that happy manner
and ever afterward has cause to bless
the. hour that the thought occurred to
him. Women delight in spring be-.
trothals, weddings and bridal trips.
Why shouldn't they when it is the
most delightful season of the entire
year? They, too, take their little les
sons from the b,ithesome robins of
spring.
Unfortunate is tho man who sees the
balmy months approaching with no
sweetheart to aid him to greet 1t. Wise
is he who repairs the lack Of fore
sight by remedying the unfortunate
situation at the earliest day possible.
No energetic man who realizes the re-
sponsibility placed upon him by al
lowing him entrance to this world and
the privilege of living here should
shirk his duty of going forth to find
the mate the Lord has created for
him.
His father Adam and mother Eve

should likewise choose the early

Before Doctor Haynes had been six
weeks in Bishopsville everybody was
agreed that there had been some mys-
terry in his life. Tongues wag in small
communities. Doctor Haynes lived
the life of a recluse; and even the
country people could see that his
knowledge was that of a practiced
city operator.
There was the case of Mary Par
sons, the bankers younger child. She
was taken i'll with appendicitis on a
Sunday morning, in the small hours,
and the nearest hospital was fifteen
miles away. The case was acute, a
journey in the car to the railroad sta
ton meant almost certainly death.
Doctor Haynes operated in the bed
room, by the light Of an oil lamp, and
= week later Mary was sitting up in
bed, playing with her dolls.
Il wonder what the mystery is, ia
ther?" asked Gladys, the bankers
pretty twenty-year-old daughter.
at might be more charitable not to
wonder, DEAR" answered her mother.
Nevertheless the banker and his
family liked Haynes. Mary adored

Poetry Increases Temperature.

A local disengagemento of heat seems
to accompany brain activity. DR.. ]. s.
Lombard found in more than $4,000
observations that any intellectual eff
fort, such as computing, composing, re-
citing poetry silently or aloud, and
especially that emotional excitement,
such as a fit of anger, caused a gen.
eral rise of temperature.
The rise was in most cases more
marked in the middle region of the
head than elsewhere. Strange to say,
1t was greater in reciting poetry ST.
lently than IN reciting it aloud. Doc
tor Lombard's explanation is that "in
internal recitation an additional por-
ton of energy, which in recitation
aloud was converted into nervous and
muscular force, now appears as heat"

Love Test Blinded Him.

Nine months ago Walter Engelysh's
wife objected to his looking at
other women, and as love test he
agreed not to open his eyes until the
vision of women ceased to come be-
fore him, relates the San Francisco
Chronicle. Engelysh is now blind.
He and his wife were arrested on
charges of vagrancy in Fresno, CAL,
the other day, and are being held in
jail pending an investigation. They
have been in Fresno for a few weeks.
They posed as father and daughter,
and were reported to be searching for
Engelysh's son.
IN the mystery with which the police
find themselves confronted is the
mans inexplicable devotion to the
girls slightest within. She is twenty
two years old and looks hardly eight
cen. The husband is thirty-four.

Fight OFF SHYNESS
SELF-CoNScIoUs PERSON Al.
WAYS uNJUsTLY RATED.
Those, Afflicted With That Form Of
Timidity Underestimated Because
Their Real Selves Are Never
II Allowed Proper Expression.

DR.. Orison SWEET Marden, the world
known philosopher, says: s4
Hawthorne was one of the shyest
men that ever lived. He used to walk
the streets with his eyes on the ground
to avoid recognizing others, and if he
saw anyone he knew he would cross
the street to escape the embarrass-
ment of meeting. Later in life he
said God might forgive sins, but awk-
wardness had no forgiveness in heaven
or on earth. His own imagined awk-
wardness was due to his timidity, his
morbid self-consciousness
After spending the evening at Emer-
sons house, George William Curtis
spoke of Hawthorne, who had sat 81
lent as shadow all evening and had
scarcely spoken to anyone. Curtis won
dered why no one had looked after
him. But being looked after" would
only have made him more miserable.
Once, when making a call, Hawthorne
asked his hostess what he should
talk about and she advised him eli
mate
1t is not recorded whether he found
even this topic sufficiently inspiring to
tempt him to break his habitual ST.
lence. Visiting naval officer, and
being pressed for something to say,
Hawthorne asked him if he had ever
been in the Sandwich islands. His
host concluded that the man who
would ask aimless, silly questions of
this sort could not be much of a
genius.
know people of great scholarly at
tainments and mental caliber who go
through life practically unknown, un-
appreciated even in their own neighbor-
hood. They live by themselves just
because nobody seems able to get at
them, to understand them. They do
to make themselves unapproachable.
There is something about them that
repels people, and yet they feel kindly
toward everybody. They would be
glad of a chance to do favor to
anyone, but they are misunderstood
because they are too timid and shy
to come out of their shell.
Shy people are constantly misunder-
stood and underestimated, because
their real selves are never allowed
expression. They are so afraid that
others are weighing and measuring
them in the balance and finding them
wanting that whenever they can they
flock by themselves as the Irish
man puts it.
Their shrinking, self-effacing, apollo
getic attitude is fatal to their eff
cheney as we'll as to their comfort and
happiness. If, instead of avoiding
others, they would mix freely in soci-
ETY. and undertake responsibility at
every opportunity, no matter how it
might pain them Or how every nerve
might shrink from human contact; if
they would stop staying alone in cor
ners at receptions and in drawing
rooms, if they would cease worrying
about their appearance and manner,
and would force themselves into the
great human current, they would soon
entirely overcome their self-conscious-
ness.-Pictorial Review.

him. He broke his rule of privacy in
favor of them. Very occasionally he
would pay them visit on Sunday
afternoon. The Parsonses encouraged
the young man. He was so obviously
q gentleman, and he had been so kind
to Mary. And it was not long before
a deeper feeling grew up between
Haynes and Gladys.
Just as the banker and his wife,
who looked favorably upon the mat
ter, began to expect the announce
ment of an engagement, Haynes fell
back into his old recluse habits. The
banker said nothing; his wife was
sorely troubled. Gladys grew paler,
but she stified her pride.
Until that day of the dinner party,
when Haynes, who had refused an in
vitation, was summoned to attend
child that had overeaten. Mary had
invited all her little friends, the par
ents had come to take them home,
and the doctor found himself the
cynosure of all eyes. And Gladys sud-
denly felt acutely the humiliation Of
his presence.
She was white with anger; and no.
body knew what was said until the
bankers wife found her crying upon
the doorstep, while Haynes was walk
Ing quickly away.
HE has behaved shamefully!" said
Mrs. Parsons Indignantly.
Gladys raised her eyes in pathetic
appeal. You don't understand, moth
err" she answered.
The doctor had told her he loved
her, and that he had never loved any
body else: also that he could never
ask her to become his wife and would
try to forget her, as he hoped she
would forget him.
Mrs. Parson was laxative. The
story got about the village, and much
criticism of Haynes was expressed.
His patients fell away, though the old
doctor was an ignoramus and had
killed as many people as he had
cured. At length 1t was bruited
about that Haynes was leaving Bish-
opsville.
Grimly the neighbors watched his
household possessions carted away to

the hotel for a week, until he had fin
ished attending those patients who
still claimed him. He would take no
