"Civility costs nothing is q COM
mon saying. but the truth is, 1t goes
without saying, for It is self-evident.
But incivility often costs much. II has
been known to cost man his position.
or his opportunity for advancement,
and many other things besides. A
churlish answer, or forbidding man
ner, is often the turning-point which
brings disappointment and disaster.
Courtesy first" is the motto of GER
tain large establishment In a western
city. All the employees, clerks. and
others, associated in the enterprise,
wear bright buttons with these words
upon them, and 1t is a genuine pleas
ure .to be waited upon by any Of them.
TIE atmosphere throughout the whole
building breathes good will. Perhaps
the courtesy does cost Asomething-
some self-denial, some patience and
forbearance, but the returns overpay
any such outlay. And let US always
remember the definition:
True politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way"

THE AUTOMOBILE MENACE.

Statistics supplied by Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Dill, showing the increase
Of the number Of motor vehicles in this
state, astonishing. Last month there
were 1917 examinations for drivers
licenses, sixteen hundred more than fol
the same month last year. The gross
receipts of the department for the irsl
half of the year were 81. lbs, 900, as com
pared to 81 ,062, 600 for the entire year OF
1915. Commissioner Dill predicts thai
the increase in the number of drivers
this year over last will be twenty thous
and. And to think, it was only a few
years ago that there was pretty general
conviction that the automobile was a
fad that would quickly disappear from,
the earth. Growing as it is, the time i.
not far distant when regulation of auto
mobile traffic will confront municipal
authorities as a serious problem to solve
This class of vehicles has taken posses
sion of the highways already to such an
extent that there is little room for any
thing else, and it is an unfortunate fact
that drivers of automobiles seem to
think that they have the right of way
oyer everybody else, to go where they
please at whatever speed they may
choose. The continually extending use
OF the motor vehicle has increased the
danger to human life on public thorough
fares to point where the menace turks
at every corner. and some day there will
be demand from the people for protec-
ton, that must be needed Trenton Ca
zeffe.

~ You Would Live Long Go Over to
Halifax County, Va, and Hear
Mr.. Thomas Bruce.

II any of these authorities on what
constitutes old age are in the vicinity
will they please drop around to the
Wolcot hotel and discuss the matter
with Thomas e. Bruce of Halifax coun-
ty, Va? Mr.. Bruce. who is eighty
years young, has some definite ideas
on the subject, and he knows where
the years may be successfully interned
so that they are harmless.
That benefcent spot is Halifax coun-
ty, Va, sub! 1t is beyond doubt the
most wonderful spot on the whole
green earth. If Metchnikoff, who
made goats milk popular by discover
ing that the Bulgarians who drank it
managed to live long time, had only
gone to Halifax county instead, there
would be less artificial buttermilk on
the market now.
Believe all Of this from Mr.. Bruce.
The other day he halted in the foyer
Of the Wolcott. where he has been
coming for many years. to hear one
man condole with another over the
death Of his father, seventy-five years
old.
He died of old age" the grieving
one said.
"Old agef" broke in Mr.. Bruce, in
dignantly. "Old age7 Why, / am
eighty years old-or young-myself
My mother lived to be ninety-six years
old, my father was past ninety when he
went on and / have an uncle living
and In good health at one hundred and
four. This old age is tommy rot. al
though l suppose people can't live
long around here. They should come
to my country, where the years are
held in leash"

Few people have any idea of the
swiftness attained by some fish. The
dolphin and porpoise are perhaps the
swiftest Of all. The latter fish has been
seen to dart round and round a steam
er proceeding at between IT and 18
miles an hour. Probably a bonitc Ia
fish Of the mackerel family at its best
could move for some distance at 40
miles an hour. Salmon, too, and trout
swim very fast, particularly when &C
complishing their annual spawning mi
grafton up stream. Herrings, in shoals.
move at steady 10 or IL miles, but
mackerel much faster Whales, though
not fish, can swim at a great speed.
When excited they will dash along at
as much as II miles an hour, but ordi-
narily four or five miles an hour 10
their speed. Seals, again, are much
more speedy, and certain eastern wa
ter-snakes glide along at terrific We
locity.

Did anyone perceive in the st. Louis
platform Of the Democratic party the
slightest reference to the tariff as the
cause Of the high cost of living? That
was their chief asset in the campaign of
1912. Did Senator Ollie James have
anything to say about free sugar? That
was his prize piece of stump bunk in the
campaign Of 1912. Free sugar was to
save the housewife cents a pound on
every pound she purchased. The tariff
on sugar was cut 25 per cent. to 60 on
the free list May l, 1916. The price did
not bulge before the war broke out
when it rose. 1t is passing strange that
the Democratic party should have oyer
looked their old friend. His Highness,
Sir Living Cost, in their 1916 platform,
but the party is as tickle as its chieftain

Press Comments.

It is said President Wilson would
much prefer that Congressman scully
should be candidate for re nomination
than seek the Senatorial nomination,
and that White House influence is be-
ing exercised to keep the track as clear
as possible for Attorney General Yves
colt, Administration fayorite in the
Senatorial race. If it shall be made
very plain to Mr.. Scully that the Ad-
ministration is backing Judge Wescott
and that his Quitting in" will bring him
into disfavor at the White House, he
will probably reconside. the decision
made month ago to have try for Mar
tines toga. Mr.. Wilson is past mastC I
at the elimination game, but this time
it will not be Judge Wescott who will be
jockeyed out Of the race.-Post 7ele-
