tie Time for the Merest Ele-
mentary Courtesy.

1t was the hottest and most uncom-
portable day of the summer and the
car was even more crowded than usual,
says the indianapolis News. Two
young women who had done their full
share of work for eight long hours.
managed to squeeze into the car with
the rest of the passengers. OF course
all the seats were taken. Even a sug-
gestion that some one offer the girls
seat was far from their minds. They
stood in the aisle. as good-naturedly
as they had done nearly every day IN
months past. One can imagine their
surprise when an elderly man rose to
proffer one of the girls seat.
"Take my seat, lady" he said. "you
look lots more tired than l."
Gratefully, one of the girls started
for the seat. A tall broad-shouldered
man was just ahead of her.
'Naw, yuh don't" he snarled, "G
guess I'm nearer the seat than you
are" and he started to sit down.
swell, I guess if you are going TO
take the seat / may as well keep It
until / am ready TO get off," the fret
man said, and with that he sat down
again.
Two blocks later he got off the car,
the tall broad-shouldered man rushed
to the seat. and the young women held
on to the straps.

AMERICAN SLANG
USED TO EXCESS, AND
SOME UNFIT FOR USE

An English critic, writing IN Lon
don newspaper. says that American
slang is more pointed and expressive
than British slang. This observation
is just Many English slang express
sions are meaningless or in bad taste
Yet it is not altogether certain that
the American brand of slang is more
desirable than the brand used by the
English.
Some American slang words are so
pointed and expressive" that many
Americans find it hard 10 avoid using
them. Men and women who, by edu-
cation and training, have acquired CO.
pious vocabluaries, still are unable to

popular use. 1T gets my goat" He

are, for instance, expressions not very
elegant or meaningful. which are
amazingly prevalent in the converse
ton of fairly wellspoken people.
Few things are more futile than to
rail against slang. Yet number of
the more inane slang phrases ought
to be avoided by persons who have
some regard for their own dignity.

not how little. slang they can use.
Although slang is too often used to
excess. il has, without a doubt, been a
means of enriching the language. One
might paraphrase a saying of Emer-
sons by declaring that the slang of
one generation may be the language
of the next" Such expressions as
make good" "get busy. and make
a hit" in the sense of making a sue
cessful effort, have already a fairly
respectable standing. In. LowelPs es-
say on Emerson he criticises the great
philosopher for the use of reliable"
which he characterizes as an "abomi-
nable word"
1t is, of course, pretty hard to avoid
altogether the oral use of slang. But
it can at least be used discriminating

Tomb Was Tramp's Home.

A tramp who had solved the present
day problem of where to live by taking
up his abode in one of the old Roman
tombs at Aries, on the Rhone, gave two
Dutch tourists the fright of their
lives.
They had gone out to see the remains
by moonlight, when suddenly out of a
tomb emerged a human form, which
the moon caused to appear exceedingly
ghostlike. The tourists fled at top
speed for the town, declaring that they
had seen a resurrection. The ghost

WHEN THE SOIL IS
READY FOR WORK

Get busy as soon as soil is in condi-
ton to be worked. This is the COM
monest advice to gardeners, but it has
a kickback. When is the soil in con-
dition to be worked? Not just because
the frost is out of the ground. 1t is
a temptation to swing the fork or
spade. but wait. Try only one spade
or forkful. If it turns over all in one
piece. and a blow from the digging
tool merely cleaves it at the point of
contact. don't dig any more. 1t is too
wet
Don't start digging until the soil is
sufficiently dried out to break up
easily. Nothing is gained by too much
speed. If it is so wet that you leave
a track, wait a bit Your plants ought
to be waiting in boxes. to be trans
planted, at least a good portion of
them. or in a hotbed or cold frame.
Wherever your foot sinks in, the soil
is packed and gives the markings of a
lump or clod.
If spaded or forked over while too
wet, you are bound TO have a lot of
Jumps that will be troublesome. and
you cannot give the soil the proper
filth for seed sowing or for young
seedlings to be transplanted.
The ground is in condition to be
worked when it will break up readily
Don't start before that time.
