: Sin Of Intolerance
By JOHN CARLYLE.

One of the commonest sins of man is his intolerance. And some of the people who pride themselves the most and the oftenest on their iberality of mind are the ones who are tue most intolerant. 2f.
 It's just this way. They go about express ing their hatred of intolerance They work themselves into a fever over it. They then become just as intolerant of intolerance as those they attack are intoleFant of other things.
 They go about trying to cast the mote out of their brothers eye without ever being con scious of the beam in their own eye.
 have heard men rave about religious in. tolerance and those who they think are guilty of it. I have heard them bitterly attack churches which they thought. were run by bigOts. l have heard them preach wild ser mons about intolerance.
 All the time they were forgetting that they had become just as intolerant in their thought and expression.
 man must approach the subject of intol erance with clean hands.
 A man must be sure that he can speak without prejudice-without intolerance-be fore he venture to attack the viewpoints of his fellows.
 Are you able to stand up to the test? Are you sure that you think in straighter lines and in more sincerity about your affairs and your interests than the bigot does about his
 Are you any fairer in your approach tC his religion, for instance, than he is in his approach to some other mans religion?
 Or are you as intolerant of his intolerance as he is intolerant of something else?
 One of the biggest, most valuable things a man can do is to get a fair perspective on himself. It is also one of the rarest things q man does. It is one of the most difficult
 To learn to judge yourself, impersonally and impartially, is a tremendous achievement But it can be learned and it is wonderfully worth while.

low to Teach Young Lady to Swim

 (EdQuette Series) .;.
 This the time of year when the social careers of countless young men win De ruined through ignorance of the proper etiquette to pursue in the matter of imparting to young women instruction in the art of swimming Society prescribes very definite form of procedure.
 Not to know waht to do when fair bather indicates she would like to learn to swim Is to invite humiliation and disgrace. Good water manners are very essential to the makeup of the Perfect Gent. The Well Brought Up Man will know what to do and how at once and will observe always the fol lowing rules for salt and fresh water be- havior: ia'
 l. Under no circumstances attempt, to teach swimming to a young lady you have never met. If she is just Tapping about and the water IS warm she probably will remain in bathing long enough for you to hunt up some mutual friend and be properly presented
 2 The letter of introduction is taboo. It is bound to get all wet before delivery and notH. ing looks so coarse as a gentleman wrinRing out a letter in an effort to get 1t in decent shape to present to a lady. @
 g. Assuming ke knows the lady or has been properly presented, the gentleman should swim around her a few times making such remarks as:
 "Howza water?" T see your nose has be- gun to peel" etc, and then get to the point of remarking You sure are terrible swim mer It's wonder you wouldn't learn sumpin'"
 4. If the lady wishes to learn to swim she will signify by the usual gigglesa
 5. The gentleman then should, bow and say formally, May have the next swim ming lesson with your" The lady should re- ply, Charmed l am sure" and, the lesson should begin.
 6. The gentleman should keep on the lady s right during the lesson.
 z. It is very bad form for gentleman giv- ing lady swimming lesson to talk about business conditions or politics.
 8. He should place one arm about her waist and the other under her chin and say simply and with dignity, "Now kick out with your feet and make your hands g4." is a good idea here to push her face under water to give her the fish instinct and remove her timidity.
 after you get started, is it. lady?" To which the lady, if well bred, will answer, "Glug- ug-ug-gurgle-gim-gurgel-g lug-ug."
 1V. " heh tue senueAdn IeetS tnat Ihe- Aduy is hopeless and that he will wear himself out he may suggest that maybe the lady doesn't care for swimming anyhow and would rather E sit on a raft.
 II. The lady probably will want little more instruction and remark. 'I am doing a little better now, am I not?" To which the proper reply is Little is right, lady!"
 13 If this doesn't work the gentleman may leave the lady flat, lowing politely and say ing, Excuse me, must step into the kitchen and see the chef with regard to the salad course" 28

LIE AND LAY
.By CURTIS NICHOLSON

 The discussion of lie and lay is always in order
 A man asked me the other day to explain when these words should be used. He said that this had always been problem to him
 Tomorrow note the number of people who make such statements as the following:

 It lays over there.
 Your report is laying on my desk. He laid there for an hour.
 First, lay (with one exception), laying, and laid are not used to express the idea of reclining or resting. One may say, T Jay the book on the table," but not, ''The book lays on the table," Correct: The book lies on the table.
 And now the exception mentioned above. Lay may be used in the past tense for re- cline; as, It lay on the table yesterday.
 When speaking of reclining, always use lain with have and had; as, It has lain there a long time; He had lain down before ar rived.
 Finally, remember that the proper way to express the idea of reclining is as follows (nOte that reclining applies to a person, ami nal, or something without life, such as q tree, brook, or a golf stickl:
 l. The tree lies where it fell tnot lays where it fell).
 ? The brook lies a mile beyond my house tnot lays).
 g. The dog is lying on the bed (not lay ing on the bed).

break up organized graft. Philadelphia had become notorious for it's disregard of law. The politico-liquor situation was especially bad, and there was abundant evidence of connivance by the police un- der direction of municipal politicians. Mayor Kendrick gave General Butler support for while. Then the politicians stepped in with demandS on the mayor. and he is reported to have reached the breaking point with General Butler, and to have advised him that his services will not be, needed at the expiration of the year for which he was loaned. It is also reported that unless Butler eases off in his methods, especially that of redistrict- ing the police and discharging men from the force, he will be forced out very shortly.
 It is interesting to note in this con- nection that if General Butler is not given more support by the mayor he may offer his services to Governor Pin chot to carry with him a picked state police force of five hundred men from the Philadelphia police to clean up the city under state laws providing such au- thority. If his proposition is acceptable to Governor Pinchot, Butler would return to the job of cleaning up Philadelphia with brighter prospects of success.
 Whether or not this report is we'll founded, it is plain that the officials of Philadelphia are more interested in the appearance of a cleanup than in the reality. Citizens of Philadelphia are sad victims of an organized gang of profes- sional politicians who have built up a most pernicious system of graft They are demonstrating a boldness that is alarming to contemplate. If General But Ter is forced out under their influence, they will be bolder than ever. Such a situation would create enough injury to offset anything he has accomplished to- wards cleanup. It would be in effect notice to the lawless element that the city does not want law enforcement, and an admission that the force of lawless- ness outweighs the force of law and order. Such confession would be in the nature of municipal calamity.
 Meantime, General Butler has served notice on his political enemies that he has no notion of resigning, that he will stick until he is kicked out, and declares that he and the mayor are not at swords points.

Historical Notes

Professor Thayer in the latest and most authentic biography of George Washington has called attention to the amount of abuse he had to live down.
 Not the least among the stories concerning Washington is the one about the cherry tree, which has had few rivals in publicity, but which has, according to Thayer, done more than anything Iese to implant an instinetive contempt of its hero in the hearts of four generations of readers.
 ''whx couldn't George Washington lie ?'' asked little boy knew. Couldn't he talk?''

WANT FARES PARED
Speakers Assert Skip-Stop
Must Go, Too-Commis-
.Sioners Are Praised.

The Mid-City Citizene' Association
stands ready to cooperate with other
civic bodies in an organized move
ment to bring about a reduction in
street car fares and abolition of the
skip-stop system Of cars in the Dis
trict of Columbia. This was made
evident by members who joined in
the discussion Of the street car ques-
ton at last nights meeting of the
association in the auditorium of the
Thomson School, 18th and l. streets
northwest.
In the meant time the association
will direct it's immediate attention
to the abolition of the far-side car
stop, which was severely criticized
by several speakers as a great in
convenience. A committee Will be
appointed by President a. J. Driscoll
of tho association to take up the
matter of car stops with the Public
Utilities Commission.
No Action Voted.
Although no decisive action was
taken last night in the matter Of re-
duced carfares, it was plainly evident
that the association will insist on
lower fares In the future. Several of
the speakers voiced their approval of
the fight being waged for that project
by Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee.
The discussion followed a report by
Bates NJ. Stovall. who represented the
association at a recent meeting of the
