which he can "cut up all he
pleases. And then make it q point
TO contrast what he can do in that

She has gathered about her oil the
things that make home for her in
a strange city, and this is her home
for the time being. Her pictures,
her belongings, bespeak long asso-
ciation-some of them, sentiment
and that association, which makes
our belongings dear to us. and this
Is the fundamental upon which the
homecoming instinct lies.
All of these things have been at

stow privileges, not to have them
seized; one likes to invite people,
not to have hospitality invaded.
Moreover, in one small room there

No wonder the girl felt that some
one had been there "the moment
she entered the room."
Privacy amid our own belongings
is a blessed privilege-one of the
boons of civilization has made for
us-and no one mas a right to in
/ wade 1t. Most people cling to this
and guard it with jealous care.
Since Germany has taught so
many things concerning personal
rights We are made aware of the
spirit which asserts, "I want, there

1t with relentless vigor.

If my correspondent had as
serted her rights at once and said
the first time that she found her
rights invaded that no one was to
enter her hoom in her absence and
firmly insisted on 1t, even questioned
that easy manner. of entertaining

have won both respect and consid-

pened again, but she would then
take a more definite stand and
herself the victim of persons who
have kept out her invaders.
Neglecting to do so, she made
seltishly use what and where they
can get. And these people always
need the sharp hand of discipline,
as my correspondent will learn as
she goes farther along in life.
Take ones right in both hands /;
never encroach on another's, and
many. little annoyances will smooth
themselves out automatically.
Be sure what ones rights are;
but certainly they are in ones

which this pair secure privileges
that are not theirs by any right of

so trivial in a way, and her neigh
bors-two sisters-take 1t all so
much as a matter of course that the
girl hesitates to take a stand lest
she be making mountain out of q
molehill.
She leaves home early in the
morning, locking her door and hang
ing the key in a place known, she
supposed, only to the maid and her
self, that the maid might make up
the room when ready. She returns
at in the evening, often tired and
wanting rest for a few moments;
and yet she says that the moment
she enters the room she knows that
some one has been there before her
how long she cannot tell, but an
"alien presence breathes an atmos-
phere there"
A book is displaced. Her sewing
basket is disarranged. A picture or
photograph is not in its accus-
toned place. the pillows on her
couch bear the imprint of the Ian

self.

An Auto Can't Stop
Quickly if Going Fast

Somebody with lots of time and a

chart showing the distance which an
automobile travelling at different
speeds, must go before it can be
brought to stand-still if the brakes
are working perfectly.
If you can't stop your auto with
in the distance given below your
brakes are not working properly.
This is worth pasting in your hat.
An auto going
per hour
10 miles-9.2 feet.
15 miles-20S feet.
20 miles-58 feet.
80 miles-83.3 feet
35 miles-113 feet.
40 miles-148 feet.
SO miles-231 feet.
This test may save you from kill
ing some one.
Then stop and THINK!!n!
If you are going 35 miles per hour
and your brakes are in ace high con-
dition, you have to run 113 feet be-
fore you can stop.
Consider the danger in that speed
going through the streets.

not danger.-Exchange.
