LET'S BE MORE THOUGHTFUL
AND CONSIDERABLE OF LADIES

An Avalanche reporter is wonder
ing IL II IL nowadays bad style for
gentleman 90 extend the same
courteies 20 ladies so well known
TO our fathers, Of few years past.
OF course said reporter knows That
II such Is the cnsc II ia because
someone has started something that
should have never been known 90
the young men Of the country, but
nevertheless al indications are that
there ls some influence 90 that cf-
feet, as had been shown on several
occasions
Within the past few days we have
seen men stand hy and watch a lady
make futile attempts 90 crank an
automobile, and by the time wc
reached said automobiles. the poor
lady had made many attempts 20
crank the car, when there were
enough men 20 crank hundred
automobiles within n half n block,
who absolutely could have not kept
from seeing her make the attempts,
and could have easily relieved her
Of the task.
# may be that we are so FAR
behind the times that this article
could be made modern Joke, but
let Il be what Il may, such conduct
on the part Of men is liable 10 make
the coming generation even more
prone 10 offering such courtesies
and assistance as cranking on auto
mobile FOR n lady quite boyod their
station, which would be an unfay-
orable disposition indeed
Ladies Of today deserve the same
consideration and courtceics Of
their mothers IN the days that have
passed, and IN our opinion man
is no part Of n gentleman who
would forget that 20 let one crank
an automobile within a few steps
Of where he Is idly passing away
the time, Is discourteous In the ex-
IRENE.
Let's be moro thoughtful and con
sidcrato Of ladies.

the United States " far and away
ahead Of all other countries, includ-

example. a. Of January !, 1921, the
latest date for which comparable
figures are available, the number
Of telephones for every one hum

States, 80 In Germany, ~ In
Great Britain, and ~ IN France
An important factor in the con-
sidcration Of telephone development

mcnt. II Be- generally true In for
cign countries that the rural Soc
tions have been almost entirely me-
elected, and that what telephones
exist are 20 be found almost ox-
clusively IN the cities Exact data
are not available, largely because
Of lack Of interest IN the subject
on the part Of government officials
abroad, but IL Is safe statement
that a telephone on a farm in many
parts Of Europe is curiosity.
Needless 10 say. this Is far from be-
ing the case in the United States,
where forty per cent Of the farms
are provided with telephone service,
according 10 statistics recently pub
lished by the Bureau Of the Census.
