Gossip" says George Eliot, SIS a
sort of smoke that come from the
dirty tobacco pipes Of those who
diffuse it; it proves nothing but the
bad taste of the smoker"
When you hear a story affecting
the life and character of another,
before you resolve to repeat it, put
these three questions TO yourself, and
in all probability that story will not
be heard from your lips:
(D Is it true? GU Is it kind?
(3) Is it necessary to speak of it?
1t has been asserted by great and
true men that we have no right TO
speak evil of any man, or TO report
harm of him, unless We have a just
and good end in view.

When Husbands Place is in the
Home.

And this we mean to maintain,
that discreet husband is the mob
lest work of creation. To our way
of thinking Br'er Adam was the first
of him.. We don't believe he cared
anything at all about the apple
which, in those early days, must
have been a crab. But Eve said
"eat" and Adam Discreetly ate.
Take the case of Mr.. Franklin X.
Woodruff, of New York state, who
was nominated by the regulars" of
his party to go as delegate to the
state convention. His wife pointedly
advised him to decline, but he ac-
-epted, and a day or two later it
leaked out that the "irregulars" had
secretly nominated Mrs. Woodruff to
run for the same delegateship.
Franklin, old boy, campaigned
half-heartedly for few days
against Mrs. Frank, and then gave
it up. He Discreetly withdrew.
When it comes to running for
office against your wife, husbands
place is in the home.

Costly to be in Love.

Young man, admonishes the
Charlottesville Imprint, every time
you buy an ice cream sundae for
yourself and your best girl, you
spend the price of two bushels Of
oats or one bushel Of corn. Every
gallon of gas burned giving her a
10y ride, bushel Of oats goes up in
smoke. To be in love nowadays will
soon empty the old mans granary.
Young man, marry the girl and feed
her on oatmeal.

Yen. She Was Right

One of the Office stenogs blew in
a cold morning last winter, stamp
ing her feet and declaring them to
be almost frozen.
"Well, said the boss, "what do you
expect when you insist on wearing
thin kid shoes?"
Raising her skirt, she thrust forth
her foot, and answered:
chin kid nothing; look at that
heavy calf"
And, do you know, it was?

Sausage Cut Instead of Chopped

By the use of new chopping
machine made for the manufacture
of sausage, the meat is chopped
rather than ground and the result
is said to be a much superior ar
ticle. The knives are seven in
number and larger than a big
butcher knife and they work just
like one operated by the human
hand.

Up TO the Council

IF five members Of the council are willing to pass
this ordinance in the face Of opinion that IL is H.
legal seems to me that at least five members should
Dc willing as temporary relief to the Cowen Park peo
pie at least to restore the thru bus transportation
that section by the approval of proper permits there
for
That sentence, taken from Mayor Caldwels expana-
tion or his veto OF the $4,000 appropriation for
ncpaly operated Cowen Park bus line is the most og
cal suggestion that has been offered In all the discus
sion that has been heard on the subject.
The Star was in favor of the municipal bus line
periment-not because we believed it an inspired idea
but simply because realized how urgently Cowen
Park>needs some transportation service. But be-
ieve that Mayor Caldwell has offered better plan
AS the mayor points out II does seem fallacous to
spend $4,000 to provide service which could be given
BY private interests, not only without expense to the
city, but at actual proft-as the jitney men are
willing to pay for their permits.
The entire explanation is highly interesting docu-
ment and, altho The Star does not agree with every
thing the mayor says, he has briefed his case with
accuracy and precision.
His first contention, that the ordinance was I'M
timely Is well taken. Certainly no drastic change
should be made in the street car policy until Superin-
tendent Henderson returns from the trip which he
cities
that rapid transportation properly regulated, should
not be abolished until we have something to offer in
place of it, and his opinion that the proposed $500
appropration-out OF the street fund-mght give
Stone Webster an additional claim against the city
equally sound.
The Star fails to the validity Of his argument
that municipal bus operation is iegal-in view of the
fact that illegal not the city is actually operating
quite few buses already.
But We won't quarrel with the mayor on that The
explanation of his veto is entirely satisfactory
And it's up to the council either to follow his sug-
geston offer better
The principal fact to remember is that in the mean
time, Cowen Park goes without transportation Some
thing should be done-at once.
