Courtesy to Unbidden Callers

When a person enters your office
by mistake you do not treat him churl-
ishly. On the contrary, your courteous
acknowledgment of his apology helps
to tighten his embarrassment over the
erfor.
Sometimes your telephone rings
and you find that you have been called
to the telephone by mistake.
1t is we'll at such time to practise
the same courtesy that you would hket
have extended to you were the same sit
uation reversed and you had uninteh-
tionally become a telephone intruder.

The second phase Of the Austrian Of

lure Of the open fighting which a.

him OF the Indian combats IN the GA
days. Knife fighting and bush Whic
: ing methods are necessary although
they are not favored BY the military
authorities because Of the confusion
and danger OF firing upon their own

The Austrian losses have been AZ.

they have only about One-thlrd inclnd

as the town Of NeFvesa which has
been set on fire by the Italian arlil,

QueStiOnnarireS Here

Quostionnaires for the one hundred
and thirty.nine young men who regis.
tered in this city on June have been
received by the local draft board. The
local board has received no instruc-
lions as to how and when they will
be filled out II is likely that the same
method which was used in the first
registration will be followed out. The
missionaries will be mailed out to
each Iegistrant with instruction TO fill
out and return them before a certain
fixed date. It is probable also that the
legal advisory board will be asked to
assist in filling out the missionaries.
The rogistrantS will then he classified

new DEVICE FOR HEADLIGHT
Motorist With Can Of Paint Should
Be Able to Fix Lights to Suit
Laws Of Any State.

The Illinois law requiring the dim
ming of headlights on approaching an
other vehicle does little more than
make formality of what has long
been custom. More drastic laws
in other states, however, bid fair to
get the Chicago mOtOrist into trouble
if he tours far afield without due prep
aratiOn.
Many headlight devices have been
approved for use in these states, but
the simplest suggestion for comply
ing with the most of the varying regu.
lations seems to be that suggested by
Macy +. Deming. who framed the
law now in effect in New York.
Mr.. Deming says five minutes spent
in painting your light bulbs will give
a mOtOrist an effective nOnglare de-
vice in any state. For New York he
describes the method as follows:
paint the right side of the light
bulbs green and at the tip of each
bulb make circle Of green paint one
half the diameter Of the bulb. The
paint should cover the right of the
bulbs, looking with the car, for an arc
of 80 degrees"
Painting the right side Of the bulbs
is prescribed because the New York
law limits the amount of light that
many be directed to the left of the car.
The reason for this Is the fact (Which
some motorists know and many don't)
