Diggers uncover an old gas pipe,
installed underground, seventy years
ago, in Canandaigua, N. Y. The pipe
is wooden, six inches in diameter,
bored out Of a tree trunk. We of
1922 do not realize the enormous
progress that has been made since our
grandfathers' boyhood. In 1852 pipes
were made of wood and houses were
put together with wooden pins in
stead of iron nails. That was typical
Of general conditions In those times.
The world has made more material
progress in the last century than in
all previous centuries combined.

A horse ambles along Pennsylvania
railroad tracks near Riverside Sta
ton, N. Y. Train approaches. Engi-
neer toots his whistle. Horse starts
running, faster and faster. It gallops
three miles, locomotive at it's heels,
before it's brain conceives the idea of
leaping off the tracks. Some will see
in this the great value Of mans power
OF reasoning and decision, which this
horse, lacked. But in many things,
most Of us rarely have sense enough
to get off the tracks. Mans avarice
induces him to flirt with danger.
Knowing that a certain course is fatal,
man still remains on the tracks, play
ing the stock market, overeating,
patronizing bootleggers. -

Trouer, Chat within a period of about
10 years all the steam roads in the
republic will be electrified. The work
Is to be begun in the region Of the
Pyrenees, where the mountains fur
nish waterfalls, and next in the Alpine
district. Then the work will be carried
to central France, where enough pow
er can be derived from the Auvergne,
and later the north and east, together
with Brittany and Normandy, will be
attended to. The change will save
the consumption of 100000 tons of
coal yearly, will promote cleanliness,
lessen repair work on locomotives and

LISTENERS

! Simeon Strunsky pleads for more
and better listeners in society. He
thinks it would be a great thing for
any social gathering if there were one
good listener present. This listener
must confess that he has not read 1T
Winter Comes" He has not read any
thing, in fact, says the Wichita Eagle.
Thus he gives the others a chance to
tell all about it, and everybody is
happy. There is much to be said for
the listener If he is a good feeder"
he helps to make those about him,
feel important. And, feeling thus, they
are happy. Also, the good listener-is
loved by all. The fellow who has a
stale story to tell loves the man who
admits eagerly that he has not heard
it. The listener, however, must be
fully as we'll informed and as we'll
equipped as the talker. He must listen
}ntelligently. He must feed in a word
or a phrase, or in emergencies, q
whole sentence, in order to demon
strate that he is really worth while
talking to. Of course, the takers are
talking largely to hear themselves
talk, and to impress the others who
happen to- be within range, but they
will not feel right about it at all I'M
less the listener listens intelligently.

Lawrence, Kan, July 17.-Stan-
dardization of all watches used at
track meets to a, measure OF tenths
rather than fifth seconds. and a SIM
pier and uniform system of time nota-
ton for the press, are two reforms for
big meets that have been proposed by
Dr. f. c. Allen, director of athletics
at the University of Kansas He in
timated that an effort would be made
to put into erect both propositions
at the first annual Kansas relays next
year. The one-tenth second results
have come into use within the last
year or SO.
The Kansas coach gives two reasons
for the proposed changes: First the
possibility of discovering new records
by increased accuracy in calculation of
time; and second, uniform method
of recording time. that will lessen con-
fusion alike for officials and reading
public.
New records could be caught and
definitely established, which for lack
of agreement among timers and
judges equipped with the old one-fifth
stop watch, or using both kinds, are
now lost" Doctor Allen said.
He urged also the adoption among
officials and newspapers of a uniform
notation of time. Instead OF the ex-
tended fractions. sometimes confusing
to those not understanding it, he
would use a single decimal, indicating
the fraction.
If both % 4-5, IT $40 were to ap-
pear as results. DIR. Allen would
suit from a race of different nature,
such as 4.16 LIS, indicating a race
finished in minutes. 16 and one-fifth
seconds, would be handled 4:16.2, in
dicating Enthusiastically to those IA
miliar with an accepted uniform sys-
tenn what was meant.
Papers are now using both the
above methods with loss of time, and
results that are confusing, said the
director
More education in track is what
people really need" Doctor Allen re-
marked.
