SMALL CHILD HIT BY
EXPRESS COMPANY AUTO

The little daughter of Harold Isaac,
of S. Main street, broke away from an
elder sister Tuesday morning and ran
into the street just as an automobile
truck belonging to the American Rail-
way Express Company was passing.
The truck struck the child and knock
ed her to the paved street. The child
was quickly picked up and conveyed
to the office of a physician, where it
was found that her ankle had been
broken. The driver of the truck was
exonerated from blame, as the child
had deliberately run out from the side
walk in the path of the machine.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
OCEAN, ETIQUETTE.

Good breathing is the result of much
good sense.-Chesterfield.
TT is so many months since Ameri-
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up little on
the question of the etiquette of ocean
travel. War workers and the men in
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
cumstances from those of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
of manners go it was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean voyager has good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because it is
considered only courteous for her to
send off little notes of thanks to those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that is taken
off with the ships pilot. However.
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure Of being on deck
during the first of your voyage in
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation of their
generosity.
The question Is sometimes asked
whether 1t Is in good form to use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines, or whether 1t is not better
TO use ones own stationery. Good
form seems TO sanction the use Of the
ships stationery, and it Is surely more
interesting to those who received let
tiers to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board. Must you therefore keep TO
yourself because there is no way for
YOU to have introductions to the
other passengers? Certainly not 1t
is quite good form for you to begin
with courteous good morning adj
dressed to those whom you meet at
table or whom you pass every day
on deck. At least by the second or
third day out you would naturally
start conversation with the person
seated next TO you on deck and to
resent any such friendliness on the
part of others would indeed be I'M
kind. If for any reason you wish TO
be left entirely to yourself you should
make a special request that your
steamer chair be placed in an isolated
part of the deck.
1t viii then become apparent that
you do not wish to mingle with the
others and you will have no trouble
in keeping by yourself. But by far the
most agreeable thing is to accept the
friendly advances of persons whom you
meet and If they appear congenial
there is, no reason why you should
not let the friendship progress quite
as If you had had a formal introduc-
ton. (CopyrighO

erossmith Defines Humor.

Lawrence Grossmith, the English
comedian. is quoted as saying: There
Is no more difference between English
and American humor than there is
between English and American trag-
edy. All humor. whether it be Eng
lish or American, depends upon the
seriousness with which the person try
ing TO be humorous acts the fool. This
may sound like q paradox, but it Is
one of the most extraordinary para
tloxes which are vitality true. If an
actor does not enter into his humor
with the full possession Of his senses
and all his faculties he misses the
most of it.
''Tc be humorous it is necessary 10
lose oneself In ones part, retaining
just sufficient retrospective faculties
to feel the sincerity of ones acting.
Sincerity here. as in all other branches
of acting is the mainstay. And sin
cerity' gets across the footlights
whether it is in Germany, France,
England or America. whether in trag-
edy, comedy. musical or dramatic
plays"

PLAGUE THAT FOLLOWS WAR
In Ali Ages Rinderpest Has Marked
the Path Taken by Armies
on Their March.

The newspapers told recently of the
trouble that arose when the authOri-
ties of Montevhleo refused TO admit
to that port little dog owned by a
woman who had taken It there on
passenger steamer. the refusal being
based upon the epidemic of rinder-
pest prevailing among the cattle OF
Uruguay. Rinderpest is the most ter
rible of the diseases that affect cat
tie, and Is often called simply cattle
plague"
1t affects, so far as Is known, only
the ruminant, cloven-footed animals
oxen. sheep, goats, camels, etc.-but
is so infectious that it may be car
ried from one herd to another by at
tendants, dogs, cats and birds or by
fodder. Therefore, the dog was ex-
Guided from, fear not that 1t would
contract the disease but that it might
contribute to spreading 1t.
The cause of rinderpest is not yet
definitely known, but it is an ancient
disease which always breaks out after
great wars. The ravages of the Goths
and Huns in the early Middle ages
were followed by frightful epidemics.
It's commonest symptoms are fever,
cough, dysentery and exhaustion. Its
mortality is high, but the disease IL
not necessarily fatal.

THE VERY WISE.

WYE ARE the wise, the very wise
w Who have no need of God;
We understand His seas, His
skies.
His sunset and His sod,
There is no magic In rose,
Its petals pulled apart,
For we explain just how 1t grows
With scientific art.
And yet no man l ever knew
Could tell me how the first one grew.
We are the wise, the very wise
All things we understand;
1t is no trick to analyze
And give them breed and brand.
We know the distances of night
From Pleiades to Mars,
And we can measure all the light
OF all the shining stars.
And yet, wonder, could we place
A single star in all of space?
We are the wise, the very wise,
No need of God have we.
We know man lives, we know man
dies
The rest is mystery.
And, since we cannot comprehend,
No more may hope to know,
We say that death must be the end
And nothing more is so.
1t seems to me, mere manikins,
Our knowledge ends where Gods be-
gins.

Pneumatic Drill Cleaner.
THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER /. ROBINSON.


THE sun cannot shine con-
stantly. There always will
be some rainy days.
A person who would throw
away his umbrella or his rain
coat every time the clouds dis
appeared would be considered
lunatic.
One meal will not satisfy our
stumachs the remainder of our
lives. We must eat every so
often If we wish to live and
avoid hunger. No one would
think of eating everything he
had If he didn't expect to get an
other meal within a reasonable
time.
These assertions may seem
but primary lessons on the i'm
portance of vision. Yet many OF
mature age could study them
with benefit. Experience already
has taught quite few that look
ing ahead is essential to happi-
ness and comfort.
Wages and incomes during the
last few years have been higher
than ever before. Luxury buy
ing and extravaganza in pleas
ure seeking have gone along to-
gether. Many thought they had
struck ''well of gold" that
never would 90 dry.
But the inevitable has hap
pened. Those who demanded eX-
orbitant profits and those who
forced high wages and who, in
both instances, spent as fast as
they received, are beginning to
see the folly Of their ways. In
many cases the fruit has an ex-
tremely bitter taste.
A little vision In the beginning
would have prevented cries of
distress. Some may find it too
late to benefit from their lesson
since they are sliding down the
/ precipice. These will have many
difficulties in climbing back over
the jagged rocks.
Few there are who cannot
still make a start in the road of
thrift and fairness which is the
sure way to prepare if rainy
days" should come.
