NOW, WHAT WOULD you DOT
New Yorker Saw Only One Way TO
Settle Problem Of Street-car Eth
quette Confronting Him.

A business man who was raised far
enough away from New York stiil 10
say ''ma'am" when he speaks to a
strange woman was recently confront
ed with a new angle of one of the
major transportation problems of city
life.
His theory is that since women have
sought and found equal opportunity in
business and in politics. tired man
should have an equal opportunity in
the seat lottery on the way home al
night. II isn't a fixed rule, but he
has the exceptions TO il pretty well in
mind. He will not take seat If there
is a woman standing near ii. He will
yield his seat TO an elderly woman.
and-this is cardinal exception-to
a woman with a baby.
But he did not have the answer
ready the other night when he looked
up from his paper to find clinging to
the strap before him handsome
young woman with poodle under her
arm.
The hero of this experience is a
quick thinker. but also set in his con-
victiOns. OF course, he reasoned. a
dog isn't a baby: woman who will
carry one on the subway in the rush
hour isn't a 'tired working girl" If
/ gave up my seat TO woman with a
baby / should be doing only what is
right, but If l give my seat to this
woman with the pup every man in the
car will laugh and I shall feel silly
myself.
Being a diplomat he got off at the
next station and waited for another
train.-New York Sun.

LETTER Il" NOT POPULAR
Many Writers Would View With
Equanimity Its Complete Disappear
ance From the Language.

In tract recently issued under the
auspices OF the Society for Pure Eng
fish. DR.. Robert Bridges deplores the
practical disappearance of the letter Il
from the speech of southern English
then, according 10 the Manchester
Guardian. Yet. some people would be
disposed TO regard the extinction OF
this letter with composure or even APP
prevail. John Aubrey. for instance. ap-
pears TO have nursed a prejudice
against those who sound II too proIni-
nently In their speech. In his Lives
Aubrey animadverts on the fact that
"Milton pronounced the letter X Tilt
terra canlna) very hard-a certain sign
of a satyricall witt"
In Germany the canine letter" has
found many enemies, who maintain
that Its Astounding employment largely
accounts for the ruggedness OF Teu-
tonic speech. Some writer's have gone
so far as to produce works from which
1t is entirely banished-a remarkably
difficult feat, seeing that ii figures In
about 80 per cent OF German words.
Two minor luminaries Of the eight
zenith century, Brockes and Gottlieh
Burmann. wrote a number of poems
from which the letter is deliberately
excluded, so as TO produce an atmos-
phere of Sweetness and light"
These facts were eclipsed by nine
teenth century author, Granz Ritter,
who held the letter in aversion, though
1t appears twice In his own surname.
He published two novels. ''Die Evil.
hinge" and "Lisette ind Wilhelm" In
which no II can be found.
Paul Won Schonthau and Leo Kobe
are responsible for similar works on q
lesser scale.

Beautiful St. Sophie.

st. Sophia's church at Constanti-
nople is one of the most remarkable
buildings in the world. In architec-
tural features the structure has a 107-
foot dome carried on four pillars, one
at each corner, and composed of light
pumice stone, with the apex 175 feet
above the floor.
So extraordinary is the appearance
of the church that the awe-stricken
Sultan Mohammed is reported as hav-
ing stopped at the door when the build
Ing was taken over by the Moslems
and, seeing a soldier hewing at the
floor "For the faith" exclaimed, I'VE
have the whole city to pillage and en-
slave; leave We me the buildings"
The Mohammedans have never de-
stroyed the treasures of art they found
upon taking Constantinople, but have
covered them up. They have pre-
served whole cisterns or cellars full
of priceless manuscripts of Greek and
Byzantine literature, and writings be-
longing to the early part of the Cos
pei age.

APPLY NAMED MOLTEN sea-
High Priests Swimming Pool in Solo,
mons Temple Most Wonderful
"Tub" Ever Constructed.

How many persons ponder, while
"tubbing" in the midst of modern con-
veniences, on how the rest of the world
performs this same act of personal
cleanliness? The stolen pleasures of
the "old swimmin' hole" the wooden
tub in the kitchen surrounded by that
questionable curtain of privacy-a
sheet over the clothes horse-a real
sea bath or swim in gym" pool have
been the stepping stones of progress
sion for most of us to the modern con-
veniences.
This bathing idea started with Bible
folk, who built the most wonderful
swimming pool the world has ever
seen in Solomon's temple. This
"molten sea" measured ten cubits from
brim to brim, five cubits in height and
was round in compass; the thickness
was a hands breadth, and the brim,
shaped like that of a teacup, was
carved with lilies and leaves. The
immense basin was borne aloft by
u carved oxen, three each facing
north, south, east and west. The pool
received and held 5000 bathers at one
time and was designed for and used
by high priests, there being 10000
baths of wine and the same number
of oil provided for the laymen.-In-

Supplying Palestine With Water.

From the average yearly rainfall
of 26 inches enough water could be
stored up in Palestine to support q
population of 100000. according to
James Haines. secretary of the Zion
list Society of Engineers, which is lay
ing plans for water supply system
for the Holy land as part of the restor-
alton work necessary to make the
land ready to receive the hundreds
of thousands of Jews from all over
the world who viii emigrate there
as soon as the political status of the
country is cleared up.
Allowing for 90 per cent loss
through evaporation and running off.
Mr.. Haines has figured that the yearly
rainfall over the 10000 square miles
of Palestine will provide future pop.
ulation of 100000 with daily pes
capita supply of 2,055 gallons. Th4
average daily consumption in New
York at present is estimated 81
about 500 gallons per capita.

KING ALFoNSo'S FIRST SMOKE
Experience of Spanish Monarch Very
Much Like That of Some Ameri-
can Small Boy2

King Alfonso has been telling the
story of his first cigarette.
The incident, 1t appears. occurred
Immediately after he had been formal
ly enthroned as king of Spain when
attaining his majority on his sixteenth
birthday.
Up to that time he had not been al
lowed to smoke, nor even then was the
prohibition withdrawn. Nevertheless,
he came to the conclusion that, as a
ruling monarch, he might at least do
as he liked is this respect.
Accordingly he asked his brother-In-
law, the prince OF Asturias, for a
cigarette.
II haven't got one" said the prince.
faithful to family orders.
Then the king applied to the officer
of the guard. who said solemnly:
II regret that do not smoke them.
your majesty"
At last the young king made his way
to the sentry at the palace door. whw
amiably produced plug of black to.
baccO from his trousers pocket and
rolled cigarette for his majesty, whc
smoked 1t proudly through the palace.
1T made me violently sick later on"
he said in telling the story; "but j
enjoyed it at the time. l felt, as I
-puffed and pulled. that was really
and truly grown up at last"

Mark Iwaln,s Imagination.

Mark Twain had such vivid imae
nation, such a brain for embroidery,
that it was difficult task for him to
tell a straight story just as it hap
pened-he could make up one thac

Albert Bigelow Paine, working Oh
Mark Twain's Life" found it neces.
sary to discard much of the autobio-
graphic material Mark Twain had writ
ten. Investigation, talks with men
still living who knew the facts, simply
proved that the tales were not SO.
And Mark Twain was no liar. He had
q glorious, almost superhuman, imas-
Ination. As he approached threescore
and ten he said, as quoted in the
Life" when / was younger l could
remember anything, whether it hap
pened or not: but I am getting old,
and soon l shall remember only the
acts."-William w. Ellsworth, "a

CLIMB THAT REQUIRED NERVE
English Workman Went $50 Feet in
Air to Make Repairs to Marconi
Wireless Mast.

The Morning Post of London gives
the description of a climb performed
by a workman in the employ Of the
Marconi company at their works in
Chelmsford. a short time ago the
highest part of wireless mast 400
feet high, higher than the cross on
the top OF st. Paul's, was broken by a
gale. How was IL TO be repaired?
Ladders were out of the question. But
the difficulties did not daunt one of
the worlSmen, who noticed that the
mast was made of quarter-sections
bolted together and then fitted one on
top of the other. He asked, and was
given permission, TO try The climb. He
made himself a belt, at The two ends
of which were rings that would slip
over the ends of the bolts. Thus
equipped he started to mount on high,
the bolts being his only means of
support. On the first day he swarmed
up 200 feet, fitted the tackle, and
descended to earth, for it was too cold
to proceed farther. .On the second day
he was hoisted up the 200 feet, and
then, hand over hand by means of his
rings and bolts, he got to the top of
the mast, where he effected the neces-
sary repairs. The last $50 feet of
climbing was done in an hour. The
mans name was Post.

the Detroit News recalls. The JUS
tice of Tobago's claim TO be called
Crusoe's island is unquestionable. De
foes hero was one Alexander Selkirk
in real life. That he was marooned

MORALE

j Much was said during the war
about Morale" Many people
did not know at first what the
word meant. 1t frequently APP
peared in public print spelled
"morals," until the idea convey
ed by the word became SO uni
versal and so important that it
irresistibly made a place for it
self in the language of every
country whose destiny was in
volved in the World War. 1t is
no less important in the smaller
spheres of community life.
The United States raised by
private subscription some $780,
100000 purely to promote morale
among the soldiers. This was
spent through the Y. Nj. c. A., X.
of c.. War Camp Community
Service, etc. 1t was recognized
that a soldier with heart and
hope and good cheer in him will
fight three times as we'll as one
who is depressed.
The same need exists in every
day civic life, from seething New
York and Chicago, and down to
the littlest Lonesomehurst on the
prairies. As the soldier is a bet
ter fighter if his morale is good,
so the citizen needs morale to
perform we'll his task in industry
and in the state.
There are already many or
CARNATIONS that work for COM
munity morale. Every church,
every helpful social center, every
fraternal society is one. But
there are vast numbers of people
who are not touched by these &C
tivities. Some of these organiza-
tions have other purposes so dis
tinct that they do not definitely
promote this end to any very
large extent There needs to be
a positive influence to help peo-
pie TO self Improvement, to give
them new hope and ambition, to
give them something to think
about and talk about besides the
shortcomings of others. teach
ing that sweet philosophy aloud
which sees the silver lining of the
cloud" In other words, to be
constructive and progressive and
not destructive or reactionary.
All these clements are within the
meaning of the word morale,
and all Annapolitans will recog-
nize the Importance of encourag-
ing every impulse in that direc-
ton.
