sewing and cooking and to give a
course in the care of infants. A class

tails of h feeding, clothing and care
Of babies.

Village Signs.
g New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The weary motorist, his own eyes
fixed on the treadmill Of roadway
ahead, his wife's eyes fixed on the fair
and sunny page of a blue book por>
traying the said roadway in motoring
parlance-"jog right at irregular four
corners past iron fountain. sharp left
at small park. entering Jugginsville.
1898 miles"-will be the first to utter
cry Of at the new campaign for
village sig Is. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle
has enterprisingly set the scheme roa-
ing. and the supervisors of several
Long Island towns are favorably dis
posed. If the movement spreads, you
will not have to guess wildly and curse
large sign will confirm or deny your
guess forthwith. Getting lost on the
road and in the Blue Book will become
next to impossible. Towns will. in ef-
feet, hand you their cards upon ap.
proach.
Thus comes another innovation in the
trail Of the touring automobile. Before
such strange and far-hung monsters
appeared there was almost as much
need for a village to label itself as for
a farmer to paint his name on his hat.
Everybody that ever logged along tho
roads was personally acquainted with
every bull calf on the route-to say
nothing of the towns. Why advertise
what all knew by heart? The shuffiing
of human beings through motoring has
changed all this. The man from West
End avenue might not know a calf II
he saw one. legitimate need for the
Introduction of towns arises.
1t may be remote hope. but we can
conceive of this new practice as work.
ing little benefit to all concerned. The
motor cycle policeman is an expensive
luxury. Those villages which have pre-
ferred the personal, courteous appeal
by signboard to visiting motorists have
reported good results. A polite request
for a reasonable speed and careful
driving In crowded districts. in place
of a sharp warning. awakens a very
friendly response. Now. IL villages are
to announce their identity. 1t is a short
step to the establishing of new and
more personal relationships all along
the line. Jugginsville may cease to be
a dubious jog in the blue book and be-
come a real Jugginsville. with good or
bad roads and good or bad sentiments
on its signs of greeting. May the new
plan prosper!

Reading in Bed.
From the New York Tribune.

From the new 1ofk IrlDune.
The habit of doing in bed is made
the subject Of clever little essay by
an anonymous writer in the current
number of the Atlantic. The writer
treats of that borderland of home
sponsible state of half-awakeness in
which the balance between sense and
oblivion defies analysis. Lying in
bed" he says. being a halfway house
between sleeping and waking. and the
mind equally Indifferent to logic and
exact realism. the Iier-in-bed can and
does create his own dreams.
The fine art of lying in bed consists
largely In cultivatinG that inward eye
with which Wordsworth saw the daffo-
dis"
whether the habit of reading in bed
is more prevalent now than it was a
generation ago is a question. The fact
that most bedrooms are now steam
heated and electric lighted Is certainly
conducive to the practice. Anyway, 1t
can hardly be denied that our best
sellers" and popular magazines are ad-
mirably suited to this now I lay me

a state the mind is uncritical, credu-
lous. relaxed and uninterested in the
pursuit of correct information. 1t

Ancient Game of Coli.

From the Seattle oPst-Intelligencer.
1t long has been mystery to the man
who doesn't play golf to understand
what there is about the game to make
otherwise dignified and rational per-
sons to go nutty over 1t. Should a
non-golfer casually confide to his fam
lily doctor that all is not well. and that
he finds that he can't get away with
three square meals a day and a light
lunch before retiring quite SO happily
as he used to: the medical man prob.
ably will tell him to play golf. And II
the non-golfer asks II the doctor plays
the game. the physician proceeds to
give him 5000 words on how he made
the seventeen hole in three. and that
he can swing his mashie like Chick
Evans. And 1t Is the same with other
acquaintances; they all prescribe their
fad as a means of battling old age.
Another queer thing about the game
is the ready concett acquired by the
lessons and he Is ready to bet money
on himself. And he will go to a lot of
trouble to round up a bunch of other
dubs and take them out to the links
to trim them out of 40 cents. Any
player may be a champion in his class.
He may be the best 240-pound, side
whiskered and bald-headed player in
the world. If he doesn't like the ordi-
nary classification he can make new
ones to suit him. There Is no reason
why any man should not be champion
in his class.
Also 1t is eXasperating for man who
must stay in the office or store all day
to have somebody come in and clank
his golf sticks on the floor and talk
about niblicks and brassies and the
drive through stroke" whatever that
is And just when the conversation
gets around to the point where one
could happily expatiate on the joys of
a backyard garden. a motor boat or a
fivver, the bounder usually rises and
leaves hurriedly.
