The account of the battle be-
tween pupils from rival schools in
this city was not particularly elevat-
Ing. Up to certain point rivalry is
a good thing, but when 1t takes the
form Of stick and stone fight 1t is
time for teachers, police and the
parents to take a hand and guide
the erring warriors into paths OF
peace.

pruper obelsance TO the law,
TO stop the machine at tho wrong
spot-the cross ver--is not exactly
violating law spread upon city
ordinances. but It Is IN bad taste. is
ungentlemanly. shows bad manners
and Is unkind and inconsiderate to
unfortunate pedestrians who In such
cases are compelled to pass around
the cars or tread a torturous route
between many OF them.
There Ia no valid reason why
gentlemen, when they are In motor
cars, should cease TO be such.
But this Is not an editorial of
fauIt-hndlng. Rather. It Is one OF
commentator.
For this species Of bad manners
on tires, once common in the city
and in most other cities, is disap-
pearing. Fewer automobiles are be-
ing momentarily parked on cross
walks than ever before. IT is IN
creasingly possible for pedestrians
10 cross a street, when traffic has
been stopped, without trying to find
the cross.walk area meant for their
accommodation.
The autoists OF the city are to
be praised for this improvement;
and those who have not yet Joined
the army following the principles of
the golden rule will lose nothing by
having their attention called to this
manifest rule Of good conduct.
We think the police are entitled
to credit for the improvement. IT
has been noticeable for some
months that during the most con-
| gested hours OF the day officers have
been seen In the vicinity OF such
places where the rudiments of good
conduct might be Violated. Some
times they have been at one corner
and sometimes at another; appar-
emily there haven't been sufficient
| OF them TO be at all corners at the
same time. But they have circulated
around quite effectively; and as a
largo proportion of downtown mo-
tors are driven by the same con-
tingent OF drivers every day, the In
fluence OF this supplementary traf-
f1c oversight probably has been a
factor In bringing about the reform
under way.
There also is something to be
said In favor of improving road
manners through experience. Peo-
pie as a rule want to do the right
thing. whether they are in motor
cars or on foot. And when motorists
have had sufficient opportunity to
see the evil effects of parking on
cross-over walks while waiting fol-
the traffic signal 1t Is natural for
them to avoid doing so.
So far as the Center is concerned
and it is not the only place In the
city where the improvement has be
come noticeable--the recently In
stalled automatic traffic signals ma!
have been an influence in this con
nection. The change from the greer
light to the red not being made

use OF a yellow light, motorists per
haps are given time TO prepare fo

as soon as the green light goes of
and the yellow appears, brakes be
gin to grind. so that by the tim
the red light Is seen, most driver
are already near a stop. The inter
mediary yellow light apparent
gives them time 10 avoid parking o.

Nothing to Wear
By Wallace NJ. Bayliss
The women are funny set,
or that there's no denying;
Whate'cr they want they always get
With just little crying!
They handle men like 80 much
clay;
Rich city man or country Jay,
All men fall In the same old way
When any girls half trying.
They have all sorts OF funny ways
That keep us fellows guessing,
The baby lisp and baby gaze,
Their cooling and caresslne,
And every woman Is the same,
The single or the married dame.
Some fellows think it Is shame
The way they now are dressing.
And yet there Is reason why
Their styles are now SO daring;
For many, many years gone by
They all have been declaring,
Whenever asked to go somewhere.
II haven't got a thing to wear"
Poor souls. That's t"st "''-ut. l
swear,
As much as most are wearing!

1.-THE consistent policy OF the

weeks OF the strike has been to
remain entirely aloof and leave
the warning parties to settle
their differences without feder-
al Intervention or suggestion.
Due to the Presidents refusal
even to mention coal, the sus-
pension OF mining has received
little attention. In other years
the determinations OF the
| miners and operators have re-
Ceived a vast amount OF notice.
Public officers we're tumbling
over one another to effect n re-
sumption OF mining. This year
all is different. Government and
state officials have realized their
| impotency. Even the dauntless
Gov. Pinchot Of Pennsylvania
has found anthracite too hot an
article TO handle and this year
has called neither miner nor
