DON'T. AND PARIS

After living in Paris about month, and moving about rather promscuousy through streets hotels pub lie buildings churches theaters restaurants and caves and chambers where human beings circulate l find something pleasant has happened to me.
 Ididn't know what it was. This morning, lying in bed and considering the serious problem of getting up thought of it. It came to me.

 Iwent to see Elsie Janiss show the other night and Spanard who sat next to calmly pulled big black cigar out of his pocket and lit it. No usher ushed him out. No woman pewed nor mmmed. Nothing hap pened.
 I saw long haired artst-looking man the other morning walking along the street bareheaded and bare footed. Even the boys didn't guy him.

 But I am wondering why it is that in America. where policemen bark and conductors snarl, and all public places are loaded with Donts and Fines and Warnings people are, rule, dscourteous and snip py; and in France where policemen stroll about as pleasant as gentlemen taking the air and tip their hats and smile when they speak to you and there are no hor rible Signs and nobody bit worried about your doing anything wrong-in France, in all this shocking looseness everybody is polite and all get along fam ! ousy.

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-Giving an entire city the correct time each night by an electric light signal is a project that is being talked of since traveller recently brought back word that Montevideo achieves correct time by this method.
 Each evening at a set time, electric lights all over the South American city grow dim for an instant. then flash back to their normal brilliancy- People on the streets, in restaurants, at home, catch the signal and can set their watches and clocks by it. knowing that all the other timepieces in town will be using the same guide. By this simple device Montevideo does away with the endless variety of time which the clocks in the aver age city offer.
 The success of the Uruguxan sys- tenn is being brought to the attention of cities in this country by the Holo- logical Institute of America.
 According to A. F. Beal, chief of the time section of the bureau of standards, and a member of the in stitute. the electric light time signal is quite desirable from the stapdpoint of the public.
 'So far as the power companies are concerned, however" he explained. there are a few difficulties to con- sider If the signal is operated by hand, a reliable man must be ap- pointed to operate the switch each evening" If the man entrusted with this duty delayed giving the signal for a minute or two, or forgot to flash it altogether. there might be criticism of the company. However, mistakes are very unlikely to happen The chances are that the time signal would never be in error more than 10 seconds, and it is entirely beyond the question to assume that 1t would be in error as much as minute with a reliable man at the switch. If a small mistake did occur. however and the signal were given a few sec onds too soon or too late, all the clocks of the city would still be uni form if adjusted by it.
 Automatic Device Practical
 ''The operation of the signal could easily be made automatic. Necessary apparatus to accomplish this would involve a small initial expense. bu by using an automatic signal th' company would be practically fre' from receiving criticism because oi some slight inaccuracy. Whether the signal is operated by hand or auto matically there must be a reliab clock to be used as a guide. It may be figured that a couple of hundred the power company. It is quite pos. sible that this would be provided by many cities by popular subscription.

(Any reader can get the answer to any question by writing The Repub- lican Information Bureau, Frederic J. Haskin, Director. Washington, D. c. This offer applies strictly to informa- ton.

A Bets B that an airplane has flown as fast as four miles a minute. Who is right? L. w.
 A. The air service of the war de- partment says that no plane has ever | flown as fast as four miles per min- ute on level flying. Such speed has doubtless been obtained by airplanes in diving, but no effort has ever been made to keep the exact record of speed attained in diving.

Time Regulation By Electric Light

electricity, the signal would be easiest to manage. One man Could give it by throwing a single switch at s o'clock each night.
 In cities that have several plants the signal would have to be given from each base. It has been sug- gested that where the same circuits are used for lighting current and for power to drive heavy machinery the flash down and up of the current might possibly involve difficulties. Engineers have considered this point. however, and believe the signal would not cause any trouble.
 These difficulties which power company would have to consider and investigate thoroughly before offer ing to give the time signal are offset by certain advantages to the com pany. There are at least two. ad- vantages, MT. Beal points out. First, the intangible but important asset known as good will" which means satisfaction and kindly feeling between a company and it's patrons; and this would undoubtedly be stim ulated by supplying the time signal Then, second, in more substantial way, the company would be likely to profit by giving the signal as this would be an extra advantage of us- ing electricity in the home. Houses using gas alone would be without the signal unless they were able to catch it from some outside electric light. The important thing about the electric time signal Is that it is flashed to the people of whole city so that they are compelled for an | instant to think about the time. h. stinctively, they pull out their watch ] es or look up at the clock and note the variation. Without the signal they could get the approximate time daily at number of more or less reliable clocks about the streets. but that involves effort and the effort is not impelled by an outside influence as in the case of the electric light signal.
 Need for Such Reform The need for a single standard of correct time is apparent in our cities. Because of the large number of such calls, telephone operators are forbid den to respond to appeals for "the right time please" Comparisons of the big clocks on towers and posts and the chronometers in windows will show that scarcely two have ex- actly the same time. According to MT. Beal, most people would be sur prised to know how much window chronometers are permitted to get in error, even though they may carry a card inscribed correct time" Yet, people set their watches by these diff ferent clocks and chronometers daily, each feeling that the particular one he selects as a standard is the most reliable.

The Rodie. of Returned Soldier.

A military funeral took place yesterday at Casa Grande. The dead private soldier young Mexican whose body the government brought back from France where he fell was carried 5000 miles accorded honor along route It was laid away with appropriate circumstance. All this must have been consolng to the mother.
 There was a divided opinion in this country as to the policy of bringing back the bodies from abroad. Many relatives like the late Colonel Roosevelt preferred they lie undisturbed in the land where they had fallen Others very nat urally desired that their rest finally in cemeteries at home. There was some comfort to them in the sense of nearness.
 There some scandal attached the proposi- ton for the wholesale return of the bodies fallen heroes largely because of the activities of representatives eastern undertakers its be- half. It agreed though that the government should undertake the return of the only at request of relatives communication in which relatives had signified desire or a willingness to receive them.
 There was naturally some ensuing confusion leading to stories manufactured exaggerated of relatives surprised by the receipt, which they had intimation of boxes containing their dead; of boxes supposed to hold bodies of dear ones who had already returned home in health.
 That there mistakes is undoubtedly true. It could not well be otherwise, but think such mistakes very
