The interstate commerce commits
sion in deciding that the railroads
are entitled to q return OF only 5%
per cent on their valuation instead of
s per cent, formerly granted. appears
to take little account of the fact that
there has been a big decline in inter-
est rates and in profits of other in
dustries. However, nobody proba bly,
will object to the roads getting the
5 q per cent if they can. There will
be disappointment on the part OF the
travelling public that rate reductions
ordered by the commission did not in
clude the SO per cent surcharge on
Pullman fares This burden on pas
sengers is wholly inexcusable, to say
nothing Of its being a handicap on
the Pullman company.

in view of the rate at which Amer
leans are journeying to Europe. it
seems probable that European nations
soon will have passed beyond the ne
cessity of borrowing our money. They
are in a fair way to obtain enough to
meet their needs in the ordinary
course of trade. The current month
has broken all records for passport
receipts in the UnitedSStates. Close to
1000 passports will have been issued
by the state department. this month,
BY fay the largest number in any
month in it's history. The total pass
ports issued up to May 81 of the cur
rent year will number 1900. Since
the passport fee is $40, that means
$4,000 of revenue for Uncle Sam.
But it also means a large invisible
balance against the country. 1t has
been said that the average amount
spent by American tourists abroad is
not less than $1,000. At this rate this
would mean ST., 100000 of American
money spent in foreign parts.

Amiability--2.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
wcz8a's Rfshesa Paid Woman WratsR.


81 slave for my husband and chill
dren. 1 deny myself everything for
them. I give them better food, better
clothes. more comforts than she does
hers, but because 1 am not always
Sinking and smiling, and don't take
things lightly as she does. my family
doesn't care half as much for me as
hers does for her. And it's unjust.
And 1 don't understand it, walls the
devoted wife and mother.
Yet the matter is not hard to I'M
derstand. The things of the spirit
are eternally more important than
those of the flesh. Not even husbands
and children live by bread alone, and
there are very few of us who would
not rather sit down to a dinner of
herbs with a cheerful, pleasant, anna
Bile woman to bear US company, than
to a feast that is eaten to accom-
Paniment of fault finding and bicker-
ing.
Not many of US are selfish enough,
anyway, to desire those about US to
sacrifice themselves for us, but what
we do yearn for is to have them pleas
ant, and easy to get along with. The
thing that we hate and Ioathe is to
have to be perpetually on our guard,
for fear of precipitating a scene by
inadvertently bringing up the topic
that is like a red rag to mad bull, or
stepping on the feelings of someone
whose morbid sensibilities are spread
all over the place
Most of US get all the fighting we
have stomach for in the outside world.
We get our vanity pounded to a pulp
by strangers with whom we match
wits, and when-we come home we
want peace, and some one to apply
poultices of praise and admiration to
our wounded egotism, and that is why
we all adore the good-natured, amia-
Bile woman who takes US as we are,
faults and weaknesses, and all, and
doesn't worry US about them.
She is easy to get along with, and
that IS q headliner Qality in the per-
son with whom you have to live three
hundred and sixty-five days in the
year
And so it goes thru life. When we
go to a shop the clerk we pick out to
buy from is the one with a good-na-
tured, pleasant face not the grumpy,
sour visaged one, tho the latter one
may be ten times as competent a sales
man or woman. The people we put
ourselves out to boost are the agree
able people, with charming manners,
and the knack Aof saying nice things.
We let the gronchy shift for them
selves no matter how deserving they
may be.
mo man and woman who cannot
get along with their fellow workers
can hope to succeed unless they are
transient geniuses, but we all push
agreeable mediocrity into the lime
light. All of which leads one to say
that if you can't be anything else,
be amiable. Be agreeable. Cultivate
a pleasant manner, and the gentle art
of smoothing out rough places, and
pouring oil upon the troubled waters
of life.
1t pays the biggest dividend on the
smallest investment in effort that you
can possible make.
