BENEFACTOR AND ROBBER.

In the year 1894, moving tt
the growing city of Alexandria
La, my husband and l paid {
monthly rental of twenty dol
lars for a barry old house much
out of date and repairs. Houses
were very scarce and one had tt
take what they could get at any
price the owners chose to ask
for them.
Living in the town near us was
a public-spirited citizen, Bring
hurst by name, who, seeing tho
great and pressing need fc,
homes. started in and built a
number of houses all over our
section of the city. These were
built ON his own land and rented
anywhere from ten to thirty dol
lars. We rented one for twelve
dollars which suited our purpose
better than the one we formerly
rented for twenty.
Another good citizen who was
also our laeighbor and stood well
in the community, spent all his
surplus earning in buying up
land out in West Alexandria, to-
wards which the city was rapidly
trending. He built no houses
but cut up into building lots his
various additions as the city APP
preached him. These lots were
nabbed up almost as rapidly as
were the houses our friend
Bringhurst had built, and the
people in their ignorance felt as
grateful to this speculator in
land as to Bringhurst, who real
ly benefited the town. They
did as is the habit even to this
day, taxed the benefactor very
heavily and the robber very
lightly. MIR. Binghurst died sew
eral years since a bankrupt,
though the town yet has num-
Der of the pretty homes he built
twenty-seven years ago. His
daughters live there and exc out
a scanty income by taking in
boarders and renting rooms.
Jim O'Shea, on the contary,
grew rich and emigrated to New
Orleans, though he is yet reaping
a harvest from his "shrewcd'
Alexandria investments, Mr..
O'Shea is now considered
much wiser and more prudent
investor than Mr.. Bringhurst.
Thus you see how our laws pun
ish the benefactor and reward
those who rob and exploit them.

Courtesy is best developed by
being polite and kind to others
and considerable and sympathe-
tic with their views and opin-
ions. Sternly repress an over
yourself to have a ''hoiler than
thou feeling for a moment.
OF course, you should always
think well of yourself. but it is
the ''Oh, you poor fish, | won
der what use you are in the
world attitude to which | refer.
We should get the other fell
lew to express his beliefs and
opinions and should carefully
weigh them against our own be-
fore forming a judgment as to
their respective merits. This
develops tolerance and the feel
ing that others have the same
right to think and act for them
selves as we have to think and
act for ourselves.
The habit of doing things for
others before they ask should
be cultivated. You know how
good it makes you feel when
some one does something nice
for you, especially when you
were not expecting it. Well,
the other fellow will feel just as
good every time you practice on
him. After all, it is the unex-
pected things done for us by
others. We always remember
the one who went out of his
way to do us a favor and soon
forget those who might have
but didn't. We should not lose
sight of the fact that we grow in
strength by exercise and should
keep in mind the old Biblical in
junction. 1t is more blessed to
give than to receive" for this is
as true today as it was when it
was written. In addition to the
pleasure of giving, we benefit by
the growth of our character
when we give-by C. G. Trock-

ILLEGAL TO WATER OATS
TO INCREASE THEIR
WEIGHT.

From the interest displayed
by the trade, much good is ex-
pected to result from the series
of joint conferences recently
concluded in number of South
ern cities between officials of
the Bureau of Markets and the
Bureau of Chemistry of the
United States Department of
Agriculture and representatives
of the grain trade, held for the
purpose of making clear the re-
quirements of the Food and
Drug Act and its relationship to
the Grain Standards Act.
A misunderstanding of the
meaning of adulteration of
grain. particularly oats, it is
said, has been more or less pre-
valent in certain localities.
Some dealers have thought that
it would not be a violation of tl,c
Food and Drug Act to add water
or foreign material so long as
the grain made the grade" I'M
der the requirements of the
Grain Standards Act. Oats are
apt to have a lower moisture
content at this time of the year
than the maximum permissible
under the standards, and this
presents a temptation, it is said.
to add water before marketing,
to increase the weight. The
made clear the fac.
that this is illegal.

COURTESY.

Have you ever stopped to con.
slider what this world owes tc
fabrication? The coating OF
two hard unyielding surfaces
with some substance so that they
never come in actual contact,
but no matter how they push
and pull or twist and turn
against each other, their is al
ways a fine film of lubricant be-
tween them.
Ever since some old Assyrian
away back in the dawn of civil
lization discovered that he could
get more miles per hour out of
his war chariot after he had
soaked the wooden hubs and
axles in hot butter and animal
fat, the world has been getting
more and more work out of
machinery by reducing friction.
We can almost trace the advance
in civilization by the progress
made in the science of lubrica-
ton. Destroy the lubricating
properties of all the oil and
greases in the world to-day and
Whist would happen? Not a
machine could move, not a wheel
would turn, all manufacturing
would cease and the hand of
time would be turned back to
the stone age and our cave
dwelling ancestors.
Just as we must keen oil or
greases between moving parts
of machine to make it work
smoothly and continuously, we
must use something to keep our
contact with other people from
resulting in discord, irritation
and i'll feeling.
Your attention has already
been called to tact as a means of
filling up and smoothing out any
rough spots we may encounter
as we meet and pass others in
our daily life. Tact, however
may be lackened to the heavy
duty oil or transmission grease
that is used where the work is
hardest and the pressure great
est. That kind of grease won't
work in your engine and you
have TO use a different kind of oil
there. Just so in life-tact alone
will not work to the best advan-
tage under all circumstances,
for tact is of the mind and we
need something of the soul. A
sincere desire to serve our fei-
low man, a longing to do some
thing for somebody just for the
pleasure we get out of that act. |
furnishes the missing lubricant
Courtesy, just plain, old fashion
ed thoughtfulness and politeness.
Courtesy and tact should not !
be confused, for we are tactful
because our reason tells us il is
to our advantage to be SO.
Courtesy, on the other hand. is
the outward expression of an in
ward desire to be of service and i
is performed without thought !
for the future or the desire of
reward. The pleasure we get
from the fact is its own reward. i
Tact fills our rough spots and
covers the points of contact be-
tween us and others SO complete
~ that there is no chance for
them to scrape the other fellow
Or for his sharp edges to dig into. !
Courtesy makes us get out the
file and smooth off the rough
spots themselves that are annoy-
ing to others, and when the
other fellow finds we doing this

THROUGH A WOMANS EYES
BY JEAN NEWTON

statuesque blondes and girls of the chicken type is all wrong and l do not know who Is responsible for it. I think it is a joke. While no em- pioyment manager will deliberately pick out types of women who will make the place look like an old ladies or young frights' home. it is just as true that there is no desire to have an office turned into a musi
 cal comedy setting for pretty girls
 There is no doubt that employers are today judging their applicants great deal more carefully than they did during the period when female help was difficult to get-the same as they are doing with men. It is ridiculous. however, to believe that any of them make beauty the basis of their choice. The trend of the times is distinctly toward obtaining the highest type of help possible: but the type desired is higher in educa- tion. training and personality than it is in good looks. In fact. time and again have l heard business men re- iterate that the pretty girl applicant immediately puts them on guard. and all unconsciously they make their re- quirements in the way of efficiency more exacting; while the plain girl who is clean-cut. modest and busi- nesslike puts them in receptive mood and has her path smoothed.

BEAUTY VERSUS BRAINS

The depression in business has thrown hosts Of young women out or work with the oft-repeated. age-oid pliant on the part of our plainer sls- ter that she is at a disadvantage in the race for a job against the pretty girl.
 s'The average employer. when it comes to taking on girls, is chicken brained,'' said an angry and dis gusted little stenographer to me the other day
 If a girl isn't a fashion show with a Lima Cavalleri complexion, she can whistle for a place. And the harder the competition for jobs, the simmer her chance of landing one if there's d baby-face article within a mile $ reach. They give me a pain"
 Is this a fact?
 American business men are cred ited with being the shrewdest. most levelheaded. fairest of any in the world. Is the possession of these faculties belied when it comes to choosing their female help?
 That is all bunk" is the emphatic answer of the employment manager of one of the largest concerns in New York city. and incidentally in the world.
 Business men prefer pretty girls, of course, for the same reason one pTeI6fS any tilDS t1dt IS pfGltN anu ornamental and artistic to what is | not. But beauty alone never in all the world gets d girl by. or carries | her very far in business. A girl must | have head on her shoulders, for one l thing; and, even more important, l she must have the ability to deal | with people in a pleasant manner :. l This means that she must have per sonality and common sense, and the | extent to which she and the firm will | profit from their rels tions depends
 very largely upon the degree to which
 she possesses those desirable quail 1 ties.
 l There are other things thai ! count when we consider whether we ! shall take a girl on. Of course. the first thing we ascertain is whether | the applicant can do the work she wants to do. After we have beer assured of her efficiency then neat ness of person and appearance arc gone into. And with the aiority ol ! business men, clean fingernails mear

FEW GERMAN SUPER GUNS

Investigations carried on by allied officers at Paris disclose the fact that the Germans during the world war had no such piece of artillery as was popularly described as a Big Der tha," says a dispatch from the French capital to the New York Times. Paris was shelled at long range not by a super-gun which was generally be- lieved to be a remarkable invention but by a naval gun of F or 14-inch caliber. The piece was made doubiy strong by the introduction of a sheath, which reduced the caliber 10 about nine inches. The breech was similarly e-enforced by massive steel jacket. This. says the dispatch. made the use of a double charge pos sible. and. combined with modifica- tions in the she'll which was longer and more pointed than the ordinary proiectile. with added grooves to in crease the effect of rifling, gave the long range attained.
 A high allied authority on ballistics in Paris, whose identity is not dis closed, is quoted as saying that the Germans had assured him that there

THE SPRING STRAW HAT

All winter long man wears a hat that is easy and comfortable-a friendly, slouchy, well-worn sort of thing that he can pull down over his ears when the wind blows or throw into the air at a football game It's just the sort of clothing a man ought to wear. not tyrannical but com panionable. And then along comes spring. In the spring, say the poets the spirit of man breaks it's bonds. A fellow feels restless and indomit- able, fit for anything and free as the wind. He brooks no restraint not he. He looks upon his good old cap or hat and decides he ought to buy another. And he does. He goes and gets himself a straw hat-a stiff, un- comfortable, unreliable sort of thing that is faithless to every passing breeze. A man cant roll it up and put it in his pocket, he can't throw 1t into the air, he can't pull it down over his ears, he can't do anything with it except wear it daintily and carefully, until the time comes to smash il in the autumn and go back to the old cloth hat And that's the best proof of the madness of sprlng-not iove. not blooming flow CTS, but the new straw hat that leaves red mark on fellows fore head.-F'rom the San Francisco Call.
