Achievement i'll any line of human endeavor and prog

ON BEING CIVIL

We heard the other day Of a-Gentleman who cursed
a lady over the telephone! And we read, not long ago, the
story of an old Quaker woman who, while quietly making her
way to the entrance of a large auditorium, was subjected to
discourteous treatmept- at the hands of an inconsiderate and
impatient group of young men. Heb niece standing near her
was IA witness to the mseemly behavior and exclaimed,
''Auntie, should think you would be boiling.' 81 am boil
ing, my dear she answered, ''but without steam" She felt
the indignity but will power and common sense won a moral
victory. In this connection it is pertinent to note that any one
commits a wrong had done himself more harm than the one
wronged.
Selfrestraint and forbearance under slight or strong
provocation are not only educational; they are sure to evoke
of our modern life one can not afford to forget the common
work in the home, or out of it. Civility is needed in school,
on the highways of life, and in business.
There is a choice bit Of philosophy in the following ancient
expression:
"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a CITY. "
such an expression is Just as relevant to modern conditions
and the strengthening of character as when it was first uttered.
The statement reenforces what all experience teaches, that the
strong man Is the man who controls his temper. Every life
has within itself untold potentiaities, and every life has UNI
limited resources to meet every emergency, and every crisis.
Life yields only what one puts into it-this is his capital. Al
mans real capital is made up of sterling qualities like chiv-I
airy, courage, clVllty, reverence, and self-control. These are
necessary for "A wellordered society. Inciviity never settled
anything. We all belong to the moral order, and mutual self
respect is fundamental. Civility, therefore, is something each
one owes to the other, regardless of class, color or creed.
What compares with the result of the performance of that OBJ

How Siluer in India
HELPED to Win the War

Silver fought another good fight in
the World wal. In 1913 the allied
armies We're battling desperately.
Every available man was on the fight
ing line. One of the things the allies
needed most was jute; gunny sacking
is another name for jute. There is
only one place in the world to get jute
India. Patiently the British govern
ment had taught the natives that sill
yer certificates We're as good as silver,
but by 1918 the British government. by
Jute purchases, had withdrawn nearly
all the silver used to back these GER
titicates, says Il bulletin Of the Nation
al Geographic society. Germany
learned this and began propaganda in
India. A run on Indian banks would
have destroyed the confidence Of the
natives in Britain and thrown India
Into revolt.
Silver must be found somewhere to
save India, and possibly to ave the
allies. Supplies Of mined silver had
beer exhausted. There was only n
big source Of silver, the vaults Of the
United States treasury. Here great
piles Of silver dollars backed our silver
certificates. Britain asked for that
silver. The United States sold 1t glad
ly. More than 400, 100000 Of silver
dollars were melted and sent to India,
later to be replaced in the vaults by
new purchases through the Pittman
silver act. That's how silver helped
win the war.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 THEIR CAMPAIGN
Shaver Considers Davis Going
 tO the Coast

1 Washington. July 24.--With party
 organization problems started on the way to solution, Glenn L. Shaver. act ing chairman of the democratic na- tionsl committee, is considering the question of speaking engagements for the party's nominee John w. Davis. He said today there was strong urge" for Mir. Davis to visit the Paci- fife coast, and that 1t was certain he would go "a good way west"
 He added that is should not be un- derstood that Mir. Davis intended to base regularly" at the New York city headquarters, or at his Locust Valley, Long Island, home. He would not dis cuss that question in detail.
 Consideration of eisibles to be placed in charge of the various head quarters is another phase of organi- ration work engaging the attention of Mir. Shaver. The name of Franklin D. Roosevelt, manager of the pre-con- vention campaign for Governor Smith of New York. is known to be under consideration for the New York head quarters post. Other prominent demo- crats, however, are being considered for the New York assignment, and for the Chicago and regional offices.
 Mir. Shaver announced that a group of officers representing the United- McAdoo-for-president clubs had in- formed him that all of these organiza- tions, numbering about HOO, would be immediately converted into Davis- Bryan clubs.
