= S POLITENESS in fashion? Are we

All these questions have been pour

And mad hurry never yet remem-

tain a vestige Of consideration for
thers-cOnsideratio which is great

must slow up a bit.
Every one has heard the story OF
the japanese diplomat who was hur-

further on hurried back to a local.
Couldn't we have stayed on the
first train >" he asked
''Oh. yes. But by making those two
changes, we saved a minute and a
half" was the answer.
The Great Question.
With oriental impassivity (and
always imagine that there is almost
a Yankee twinkle back OF that orr
entail calm) the great Japenese diplo-
mat asked: And now that we have
that minute and a half, what are we
going to do with it,"
Generally after we have saved ten
seconds or five minutes by 4 lack Of
consideration for others. we never
have any particular use for them.
