THE TRAFFIC POLICE AND "DIRTY LOOK $"

IL isn't hard 10 sympathlze with 2 traffic policeman when he com plains of receiving so many dirty looks" from autoists and pedes- trians that he wants to go on some other kind of police duty. It can not be otherwise than tough job 10 be scowled at all day and made to feel as if he were a human be- ing unworthy of the fellowship and respect of man. People are not ar- rested for giving angry looks at a traffic cop-there has been no law passed against handing them the dirty looks" complained of; hence there is nothing for a poor traffic policeman to do but stand up and bear the show. It must be a terri ble ordeal.
 But why is it necessary 10 give a traffic policeman the perpetual scowI? It does no good and smile would be just as cheap. Of course, it may be difficult to smile when traffic policeman stops a nicely calculated dash ahead and forces a stop to give converging traffic q chance: but whea a smile amounts 10 most is when it substitutes for the more easily acquired scowl. Nothing disarms like a smile at the right time. If traffic policemen got more of them they would smile back oftener. and this business of regulating traffic would by no means be bereft of joy.
 This business Of giving traffic cops dirty looks" is due 10 too much seriousness about getting ahead; it is due to being in too much of a hurry, Most of our hur- ry4 is. unnecessary. The best way 10 get 10 destination early is to start earlier and be at more leisure en route. How much this eternal hurry amounts to is indicated by the fact that if a pedestrian meets a friend he usually has time enough to indulge in a conversation lasting minutes: or when the average flashing autoist stops al the filling station he has plenty of time to talk leisurcIy with the fellow in overalls; and so forth. We seem to be in more of a hurry at street in- tersections than anywhere else.
 It would he a good plan, perhaps, 10 start q smile al the traffic cop week: or make il month, or a year - until We get so used 10 il that evcrytfme We see a traffic cop We shall burst into laughter.
 As things are now traffic cops look to be lonely and crcstfallen individuals. Let's make them hap pier and bring more cheer into their lives. and incidentally make ourselves happier at the same time. Give traffic cop a word Of cheer and a smile and watch the effect One good deed deserves another and they may be easier on LIS when they see an ocean Of smiles 'aIr the place of the m}riads of dirty looks" of which complaint is made.
 Lets start the era Of smiling with traffic cops right away We need the personal reaction and they need tho good will and th" cops could start if by smiling tlIo themselves.

 How much pain it will cost you! really did not doubt you, dear; I thought if angry I'd appear Sweet. loving protest I would hear Instead, I almost lost you! I much regret our little fight And yet. it brought that wondrous
