bribery is at en- end in official circles in that coun-
try. Anybody familiar by experience or even from
reading with the congratulated methods of doing
business in Russia knows that bribery and the
payment of secret commissions always have been
recognized as necessary, and therefore, il not quite
proper, at least so nearly universal as to involve
no appreciablc amount of either disgrace or turpi-
tude.
That is the way it was under the car, according
to all accounts and reports, and the first revolution
brought no change in the old custom. But the Boil
sheviki really seem to be different. At amy rate,
they announce that in the past few months they
have sentenced ~forty-two persons to death for this
crime, and sent over 1900 to prison for terms
of considerable length.
Soviet news, especially if official, is not always
true, but i'll the present instance it seems to be a
statement of fact. If so a third revolution is in
progress, and, as anything is possible in Russia,
it may be that bribery has ceased to be there the
next to invariable accompaniment to commercial
transactions.

The Curse of Waste

TT is STATED as a fact that rust causes an an
l. nual loss of six hundred millions of dollars in.
our country alone. What must the loss SO occa.
stoned be throughout the world.
The action of moisture on exposed surfaces of
iron and steel and iron piping and roofing is de-
structive.
That could be avoided in part by protecting iron
against the action of moisture, still more by sub.
shutting brass and copper wherever possible.
How rapidly will national wealth grow, when
people learn TO stop waste? Everybody knows of
the ~frightful annual loss due to fires that could
be prevented; also of the loss through insect pests
destroying crops, and the havoc created by the op
erations of rats and mice; lives needlessly lost
through disease or ignorance, especially the val
liable lives of children.
You can see on Notre Dame Cathedral, in Paris
as good as the day it was put there, the copper
roof that covered the church when Henry VIII
threatened to come with his soldiers. How many
times would you single your barn in four hundred
years if you live that long?

Are They Woman Haters

ANTAGONIST to what is called co-education has
"A broken out in the student groups of young men
who are accommodating wisdom at Johns Hopkins
university.
They do not want the company of young women
in their classrooms and on a vote on the question
they have said SO by a majority closely approx
mating unanimity.
1t excites wonder. Of course the arguments are
familiar enough-antogonism to the feminization
of instruction, and the like-but somehow it is
difficult to avoid the suspicion that, these reasons
not being those that appeal vehemently to the aver
age boy, there must be others, as yet unayowed.
Can one of the other reasons be the fact that
whenever girls compete with boys for ~scolastic
honors and prizes they win more than a fair share?
1t is to be hoped not, Jealousy being such a mean
emotion and, of course, prizes and honors in school
do not have much relevance to success in life or
even to the deserving of it. So why should the
boys mind? And something should tell them that
as yet, anybody, they need have no real fear of
feminine competition-that as a rule they will get
more than girls from a college course and make
more use of it later.

Quiet Tip

SoME PEOPLE have made a decided success in
~ life by attending to their own business.
Thus relieved of the cares of everybody elseis
affairs they have found time and opportunity to
attend TO their own.
And being of that particular fibre their devo,
ton to their own business was bound to bring
success.
Beyond a passing and friendly interest in your
neighbours general affairs and his welfare and
prosperity, we can't imagine what call you have
to horn in to the extent of advising and regulating,
inquiring and directing. If your neighbor is help
less, it is of course too bad, but your business is
not to conduct his business. That is his business.
There are a lot of people who are blessed with
plenty of nose. In fact, so we'll equipped are they
that it is eternally getting into other peoples bust
ness with varying results and damage.
The old fashioned boy who plows right along the
line of his own affairs has no troubles to worry
him nor other people to tell him to mind his own.
In the book of experience there are two pages
the one is headed "your business" the other is
headed, "my business" 1t is a pretty good plan not
to get the two pages confused and get to making
prOnisciOus entries.
The fellow who attends to his own comes out at
the end of the race away ahead of the other fellow
who stops by the wayside to dip into the affairs
Of other people. This may partially explain why
the one makes n success while the other does not.
