THE PLEASING VOICE

A. I NO period Of our existence does
A the pleasing voice with its mu-
steal intonations and lucid articula-
tions fail to win an audience and re-
spect
There is a compelling charm In Its
accent, its deliberatlve sweetness and
enunciation which Is well-nigh IRE
sistible, whether 1t praises or con-
demns-a carrying, impressive quallty
which sways the hearers at will.
And yet with all the subtle power
invested in the organs of speech. men
and women in their oral intercourse
with one another are habitually care
less.
They have a few set words and
phrases which go round and round
their dial of conversation like the
hands of the clock, incapable Of do
ing anything else, or Of stirring a
single new pleasurable emotion.
Such voices narrow and dampen
the spirit of expectant hearers until
they wish they could go suddenly deaf
or vanish in the air.
Whether the rasping discords come
from the lips of vestals or sculllons,
the effect produced is always creepy"
and depressing to the refined.

COMET4ING TO THINK
- ABOUT ByF. A. WALKER

And this would seem to show the
Importance Of pleasing voice at the
fireside, tho desk. behind the counter,
everywhere, in fact where tired ears
are pausing on tip-toe for a soothing
sound to assuage their pent-up nerv-
BUSINESS.
If you would succeed beyond the
mediocre. you will find that 1t be-
hooves you to cultivate the pleasing
voice, not one that Is marked by af-
lection, but by sweet soul-strains at
tuned to discriminating and dellcately
adjusted ears accustomed to pure ac-
cent and undue emphasis.
Nothing is more destructive to a
salesman's success than loud, coarse
and braZen enunciation, with a touch
of authoritative command In every
vowel and aspirate.
And this applies not only to the
salesman but to every man and woman
in all walks of life, and especially to
those who are dependent on others for
a livelihood.
The discriminating employer natu-
rally gives preference to him or her
who habitually uses a pleasing voice
in company with kindly smile and
courteous manners, in all kinds Of
weather and in all sorts of business

Balloon Problem Met

The main trouble experienced by
owners who have installed balloon
tires on their cars is that there has
been entirely too much bobbing action.
Many of the excellent spring control
devices have been unable to check this
successfully, even on some Of the new
cars which have not been especially
designed for balloons Though you
will still need your spring control de-
vice, the excess bobbing can be done
away with by taking few leaves out
Of the springs. You will note on cars
especially designed for balloons that
there are fewer spring leaves. as a
rule.

GOOD MANNERS
IN MOTORING
Connecticut Commissioner
Stocked Sees Need of
Code of Ethics.

That the present lack of good man
ners In motoring calls for code OF
ethics to be observed by automobile
drivers, is the belief of Robbins b.
Stocked, commissioner Of the Con-
necticut state department OF motor
vehicles. whose views on this sub
ject are being sent to the country
wide mbership Of the National
Safety council. Mr.. Stoeckeps sug-
gestions are intended to impress mo-
florists with the importance of courtesy
to fellow drivers and pedestrians alike.
His advice should not only help to
prevent accidents but should keep
some motor operators out of trouble.
Importance of Courtesy.
"To be a good driver, In the terms
Of applied ethics, Is to be a person
Of good manners. truly an altruist.
ready to see and appreciate the prob
lens of others, to make proper al
lowances for them and to exercise
even a little more patience, care and
consideration than is actually called
for by the letter Of the law" declares
Commissioner Stoeckel's bulletin.
Pointing out that there are certain
actions which are so obviously bad
manners that it becomes source of
wonder how any person can bring
himself to commit one of them, Mr..
Stoeckel cites examples, such as:
Driving an automobile through wa
ter or mud so as to splash same upon
pedestrians, a common pastime with
some motorists who have peculiar
ideas of what constitutes q joke.
Failing to give proper warning to
a pedestrian or other user of high
way. Even animals should receive
reasonable notice.
Neglecting to give proper attention
to headlights, thus often causing in
convenience and danger to others.
Disobeying the instructions received
from traffic officers and trying to steal
few feet of space, instead of re-
manning in the proper spot, a practice
that not only annoys pedestrians and
other motorists but which is danger
Gus.
Starting an argument with the traffic
officer is not only bad etiquette but
is counting trouble with the law.
The expert driver must tone down
his skill by not swiftly weaving in
and out of moderately moving
stream Of traffic.
A common offense against road
etiquette is committed when a motor
car operator places his car at cross
Ing so as to obstruct pedestrian
traffic. thus compelling pedestrians to
walk around his machine.
Exercise of Kindness.
In conclusion, Commissioner Stock
Ell says:
"The exercise of kindness to others,
consideration and true courtesy will
prevent any operator from getting
wrong attitude of mind for driving in
traffic. Any operator who loses his
temper, who becomes sulky, or is alb
normal from any one of many differ
ent causes is unfit to drive because his
automobile provides a medium of ex-
preston for his personality. If that
personality is upset, he is bound TO
make trouble for himself or for others
generally for BOTH"

Public Rafhs for Dogs

In Munich, Bavaria, public baths for
dogs have been established and are
being maintained by the local authori-
ties out of public taxes. This was
thought necessary, due to the great
number of unclean CANNES that were
noticeable on the streets since the war.
The baths are open from 9 80 a. m. to
p. m. and they are widely used by
pet owners.
