Exhibition of Real Courtesy Under Trial

1t is, of course, under trying condi-
lions that courtesy is worth most, and
for this reason story brought in by a
woman employee about sleeping car
porter on one of our trains deserves
to go into the record, the Union Pacific
Magazine recounts.
A young mother with small baby
and an extraordinary quantity of hand
baggage, and clearly without much ex-
perience in travelling had ridden two
days in the pOrter's car, and on the
third day had to 60 into another car
because the first one was to be cut out
of the train to so different route II
was warm morning and the porter,
perspiring but cheerful, brought first
the collapsble baby carriage and then,
in two installments. the hand baggage
into the new car. He took perhaps a
shade longer than necessary to get
things into place. and then retreated
with only the reward of having done
his job well.
After while he came back into the
car and said to the young mother that
he wanted to see that everything was

Spontaneous Combustion

When large quantities of SCOT. linen,
paper, cotton or WOODEN stuff, ships
cables, etc, become soaked with rela-
lively small amounts of oils Especially
drying oils) and are exposed to a
limited access of air, they may take
fire sooner or later. The presence of
moisture, frequently aids spontane-
Gus combustion, and piles of damp
hay, freshly mown grass, sometimes
take fire spontaneously. The phenome-
non is not, however. without clearly
defined cause. Fats and oils can be
shown to undergo slow process Of
combustion at but slightly elevated
temperatures. Combustion of a small
amount of oil causes the evolution of
a corresponding amount Of heat; rise
of temperature accelerates the COM
bustion, producing further degree Of
heat, until at a given moment the tenn
perature may become so high as to
cause the mass to burst into flame.

A little New York girl, Marjorie
Hardesty. is visiting the Middle West.
She has never been along real country
roads before. Friday she saw a sign
on Victory highway, Fresh Cow For
Sale," "Oh, look at that cute sign"
she laughed, "Ive heard plenty
of people called fresh but l never
heard of cow described that way"
The significance of "fresh" as applied
in nature was explained to her. The
next day as she and her hosts drove
across a bridge Marjorie read a sign
which had been placed there by fish,
erman. "Well> this" she exclaimed,
sis the most amazing thing I've learned
yet! That sign we just passed says

library in London filed eight houses;
when it was sold at auction the sale

"Then the dog must have been

Several policemen came into sight,

into the pool to help. Another five
minutes and the owner and the dog
were on the bank, and the man, too, in
the grasp of the policeman. But the
man was big, thick-set brutal-look-
