tongue tied" and they want to over come this.
 The one remedy for the whole thing is to say nothing if you have nothing to say, and if the thought comes spontaneously during the con versatlon, say it. Any time you force talk in order to be heard you say the wrong thing and are naturally em- barrassed.
 Thoughts should come right from the heart and the mind and not merely the tongue. They never ring true unless they do come frcm within. Their falsity Is readily dis covered. You can always tell when people are just making conversation, and when they do 1t often enough they show themselves to be the frothy, talkative kind that you usually wish to avoid.
 The real souls respect silence as much as speech.

 It is said motor car thievery is large and well-organized industry in many of our big cities. The number or cars stolen each year in the United States is put around 100000.
 Activity of professional thieves and carelessness of drivers both fig ure in the theft and fire rate. So, too,> does the nature of the car. Un- like some other forms of motor car insurance, the lower priced cars pay a proportionately higher rate There are obvious reasons. A Ford is less conspicuous, more easily disposed of and more likely to be left unguarded than the highest priced cars
 Some states have endeavored by legislation to lessen the marketabil- fly of stolen cars In general these

''0FFICIAL" ON GOLF
BALL RULED ILLEGAL

Unauthorized use of the word Off
cial" in connection with designation
and sale of golf balls manufactured
by the Allied Golf Company of Chi
cago. Ill, is charged in a complaint
issued by the Federal Trade Com
mission today in an unfair competi-
ton case.
The citation says the company pur-
chases golf balls in large quantities
and causes to be stamped or cut on
the balls the word. Official" in con-
nection with or as part of its trade
name. In addition, the wrapper of
the ball bears the legend official
golf ball"
The effect of the use of the word
official and the legend on the wrap
per, the citation says, is to deceive
the public into the belief that the
company golf ball has been desfg-
mated by the United States Golf AS
sociation and the Royal and Ancient
Club of st. Andrews, Scotland, as the
one officially adopted for use in all tour
naments or contests conducted by or
under their auspices. Neither organ
ization, the citation says, has au-
thorized or designated the golf ball
of the Allied Golf Company as official
The acts of the company, it is alleg-
ed, not only deceive the public, but
are to the prejudice of the competi-

received the bonus. and, accordingly.
in preserving the differentiation be-
tween grades in recIaSsification their
salaries show a much larger actual
increase.
Take the bureau OF mines, for ex-
ample. There the net increase in
the professional service Is 3.3 per
cent above the present base pay plus
the bonus. The average salary under
reclassification Is 1874, or a net
average increase of S119. In the
reclamation service the average net
increase in the professional service
is 1916, while the reclassification SAL
ary Is $3.457. or an average net in
crease of S466. Both of these are
engineering services and comparable.
The explanation by the personnel
ancies in figures is that many in the
reclamation service were brought up
to the minimum of the grade. while
in the bureau of mines they were
already mostly above the minimum
lsalary for the grade.
In the geological survey for the
professional and scientific service the
average net percentage of increase is
not so large as in the reclamation
service-11.2 as against 1916 per cent
The average net increase in salary
for this service in the geological
survey is S299, while for the reclama
ttoR service IL IS S4bb. II IS explained
that this is due TO the fact that the
service is so much larger that nat
uralry there are more in the lower
grades.
BY making comparative study of
the accompanying table. the per-
sonnel classification board points
out, IL will be found that there are
reasons behind all such seeming dis
orepancies in the figures. This Illus
trates the intricate task of fitting the
$4,000 employees of Uncle Sam in the
District OF Columbia covered by the
reclassification act into the grades
of services provided in the act.

INDoRsE HARVEY SPEECH.
State Officials Say He States U. S.
Position Clearly.

Ambassador Harvey's speech last
night in London was described in ad-
ninistration circles today as clearly
stating once more the position of the
Washington government with refer
ence to the reparations tangle.
It was emphasized that officials
here had entertained some hope that
abandonment by Germany of passive
resistance in the Ruhr would open a
way TO adjustment of the reparations
problem. So far as participation by
the United States in such an adjust
fnent was concerned, however, it was
reiterated that the statement Of the
Washington attitude made by Secre-
fary Hughes in his New Haven
speech remained unchanged.
While the situation in Germany has
undergone various changes due to the
occupation of the Ruhr and more re-
Gently to the Rhineland republic
movement, the factors that must gov
ern the Washington government are
regarded here as still precisely as
stated by Mr.. Hughes at New Haven.
The comment was made today in Of
hctal quarters, however, that IL Ger

GREAT MASONIC
EVENT WILL Be
MECCA OF MANY
S4,00O,000 Memorial to
Washington Starts
.. Soon

Though no definite arrangements
have yet been made, it is anti
cipated that at least one delegate
will represent Imperial Valley Ma
sons November l in Washington ID.
c.. on the occasion of the laying
of the corner stone of the $4,000
900 George Washington National
Masonic Memorial.
The great structure is to be erect
ed at Alexandria, Virginia, the
home of the first president, whom
the monument is to honor.
Masons of the United States are
planning upon making this great
occasion the most impressive in the
history of the order. 1t is expected
that every one of the 1900 Blue
Lodges in this country will have
one or more representatives at the
November l festivities. Railroads
already are preparing to handle the
enormous number of travellers to
Washington, which is expected to
reach into the hundreds thousands.
The George Washington National
Masonic Memorial project was de-
termined upon at a meeting of prom
inent Masons from several grand
jurisdictions in Alexandria On Feb
ruary %, 1910.
On Shooters Hill
The memorial is being erected on
Shooters Hill at Alexandria, on
the Arlington Ridge, which com
mands view of the city of Wash
ington.
The dimensions of the edifice
over all will be 230 feet in depth
by 160 feet in width, exclusive of
the steps, terraces and approaches.
Its height to the summit of the
observation tower will be 200 feet.
One of the most stately features
will be an imposing atrium, 20 feet
wide and 100 feet deep, which will
form the Memorial Hall, and in
which it is proposed to set statue
of George Washington.
Magnificent Entrance
The entrance of the building will
be expressed in "a six columned por-
tico of pure Greek Doric design,
forming an interesting contrast to
the plain unbroken side walls of
the Masonic rooms. Rising above
the Memorial Hall, and forming
the second story of the tower, will
be museum room to house the
many memorabilia of George Wash
ington and his time, as well as in
teresting relics connected with
Washington s service as Master of
Alexandria-W ashingtOn Lodge.
In addition to housing the price
less relics of Washington possessed
by the Alexandria Lodge, the mem
orial will be the center and rallying
point for Masons of the United
States and of all other countries.
One of the most priced of the relics
