z MATIN. paris.-When the code


of the telephone demands as
much courtesy and considera-
- ton in the matter of private
calls as it does for public bust
ness. then the advantages of this Won
derful invention will be greatly multi
piled. We are not talking of the tele-
phones installed in offices, stores, fac
tories and other places OF business,
where they are part of the necessary
sible to every appeal. But are private.
residence telephones used in the same
way?
The. private telephone, most of the
time. Is used for a succession OF alb
surdities. 1t is subject to all the ca
prices of our friends, and any other
people who telephone because they have
a void in their soul, five minutes to
spend and nothing special to say They
never ask If they are diverting you, or
disturbing you. In fact they are not
thinking of you at ALL but only of
themselves. They chatter for their own
qualification, not for yours. And little
it bothers them that they make you lose
your time, provided they occupy their
own.
The task OF womankind is to per-
petuate high level of courtesy. Be-

Park Commission
Looks After Parked Cars.
Irish Independent, Dublin,-Every
day more than 1000 motorists leave
their cars in the streets OF Dublin, and
expect to find them all right on their
return after an absence, whether Of
hours or of minutes, but only a very
small per cent of owners appreciate the
protection afforded them by the corps
of motor parks comissionaires. These
commissionaireS are body OF AZ men,
who voluntarily look after the cars left
in the parking spaces. They are all eX-
soldiers of the British or Irish Army,
and whether requisitioned to do so or
not, look after all cars left in the parks,
throughout the day and far into the
night. Their remuneration is just what
the owners wish to give them, but Most
of them drive off without even thank
you" There are not more than zoo
owners in Dublin willing to pay as much
as S shillings a month for this pro-
lection, which would give each volun-
tary Waterman IL shillings a week.
Honolulu Protects Bathers.
Star Bulletin, Honolulu-The Board
OF Harbor Commissioners has again eS-
tablished rules to prevent the decapita-
ton of some defenseless bather at
WAIKIKI by charging HoCoI OodS
Now the only need to relieve an annoy
ing and dangerous condition is enforce
ment. Motor boats may not speed
within 800 yards from shore. This pro-
tects not only swimmers, but surf board
riders and canoeists, as well. Violators
of the new rule will be heavily pun

to motor boats that is not i'll the prox-

Unemployment
Diminishes in Cologne.
Cologne Gazette, Cologne.-The num-
bers of the unemployed in Cologne are
steadily diminishing The peak was
reached March S, when the municipal
records showed that 27.673 who desired
work, were unable to obtain 1t. A
check taken less than two weeks later,
showed a total of 27,3l3 out of work.
1t is expected that the number OF those
not working will be reduced at faster
rate in the ensuing weeks. The revival
Of business seems most pronounced in
the agricultural, building materials,
bookkeeping and clothing manufac-
turing lines: though improving slowly,
the trend seems definitely for the bet
ter The metal industries, too, are be-
ginning to show signs of life.
