STATION ETIQUETTE

ITO SAY that the well-bred person
i is on time when he takes train
might be unfair. But it is a fact the
well-bred person shows his consider
alton for others i'm his actions, and
the person who comes into the station
behind time, pushes by other people,
runs into them with his travelling bag,
summons a porter CURLY and tries TO
push ahead of others at the ticket
window, is acting in an inconsiderate
manner. He is also making himself
conspicuous, and the well-bred per-
son does not attract undue attention
to himself in public places.
1t is nothing to be ashamed OF If one
has travelled but little, and some ex-
cellent folk have perhaps never been
in, railroad train more than once or
twice in their lives. Still it is but
natural that we should all want to
appear to be at ease when we travel,
and not to proclaim by our manners
that we have never been about before.
Your conduct in the railroad station
should therefore be composed and I'M
ruffled. If you have time to idle
away before train time it is quite all
right to go to the newsstand and pur-
chase a paper or magazine and read
it; but there is no reason why you
should have to invest in chewing gum,
sailed nuts and gum drops, weigh
yourself, and have your fortune told
by one of the penny-in-the-slot ma
chimes, pace back and forth in the sta
ton, delve in your travelling bag to see
whether you remembered to bring
your slippers, or ask the station at
tendants innuInerable unnecessary
questions about why the train is late.
If you have been unable to get any
lunch and really feel the need Of
nourishment, then you may be excused
for eating little milk chocolate while
you wait, but remember that well-bred
people do not eat in any public places
save restaurants and other places, es-
pecially intended for that.
And the consensus of opinion seems
to be that the very well-bred people
do not kiss in the station. At any
rate, they DO III without attracting any
undue attention, and save such signs
~, devotion till they have reached
home. To be sure, when we travel in
continental Europe we see much kiss
ing and embracing in the railroad sta
tions-fathers embracing their grown
sons and brothers with tears in their
eyes kissing brothers, though they
may not have been separated for
many weeks. But we Anglo-Saxons
avoid such Observation-Disclosures and
the American way as well as the Brit
ish way Is to reveal as little as pos
sible of our own personal affairs to
others in the railway station. We
can excuse the woman who weeps
audibIy In the station when she sees
her dear ones departing If she is old
very much overweight, but the
young woman should do her utmost
TO avoid such demonstration of her
feelings I'm the station. 1t makes II
very much harder for those who
leave her, and sometimes is painfully
embarrassing.

Various Storm Warnings.

Flowers, trees and low-growing
plants send out storm warnings. Ger
tain plants and flowers close up tight
ly on the approach of rain. They give
ample warning. The common dande-
lion does this, and also the leaves of
the white clover. The silver leaf pop
lar gives fair warning of rain by toss
ing the silver under side of its leaves
upward continuously.

Cost of Education

eight times its school bill for 1918 and
was AZ per cent of its public school
bill for the 9S years from 1892 to
1920 This includes appropriations
for higher education, for norma
schools, and schools for the deaf,
dumb and blind.
Maryland's direct tax bill OF $751;
452,S67 in 1920 was 13 times its edu-
cation bill for 1918 and more than half
it's school bill for the 90 years from

bill of S162, ,320 in 1920 was sew

expenditures for education, higher and

years of its existence as Colony and

other figures which might be easily
determined show very clearly the con-
tention in the first part of this article,
that, compared with other expendi-
lures, public and private, expcndi-
lures for education are almost negli-
gible.
We think We believe in education.
We talk much about it, and many of
us have believed that we pay much
for it; that it in fact constitutes Il
very great burden, if, indeed, it is not
our chief burden. No doubt we do
believe in education in way, but We
have not paid and do not pay much
for it. If this statement helps to dis
pei this illusion and to give some ac-
curate information as to actual eX-
penditures for education as compared
with other expenditures it will serve
its purpose.

STEALS CHURCH BIBLE

One Bible, one eight day clock and
a number of hymn books were stolen
Sunday night from the Gum Springs
Baptist Church, colored, Fairfax
county, according to a report made to
the police today. by one Of the church
deaconS.
The police say that this is the first
time such a theft has ever been re-
ported to them. The church officials
stated that they hope the Bible does
the thief some good, although they ex
pressed doubt, and one Of the deacons
said the thief probably took the clock
in order to keep time reading the
Bible. With such a man, however,
the church officials are inclined to
believe that the Bible will do but lit
tie good. In the meantime arrange
ments are being made by the church
for the purphase Of another Bible for
their services on Christmas day and
it is expected that the next Bible will
be under lock and key.
