lonely lane by Ruane's pasture.
For months the lane would
stand empty save for the rab-

small blue butterflies that
spread in a trembling web
above the wild mustard. Then

ONCE-OVERS
Up With the Times


Do you keep up with the
times in your work?
Or do you oppose changes
recommended as more advanced
methods?
Just because a method was
acceptable five years ago does
not make it more effective and
best to use now.
Changing conditions have
made is compulsory to adopt
new methods.
You considered yourself very
proficient a few years back
But unless you are willing to
acknowledge that there are bet
ter ways to do what you call
your work" in the present
scheme of things you are retro
grading and you will suffer for
it.
Don't take the attitude that
all new wa7s are worthls ssS ex-
periments.
You can't know 1t all.
One of the reasons why so
many older men are dropped is
that they like to cling to The
older methods and are so slow
to see and make changes.
The man who is young takes
up new ideas readily and is not
hampered by the thought Of a
decade or more ago.
The young man has enthuSi-
asm and wants to try out new
ways for everything is new to
him, and the only way az older
man can hold his job Is to be
progressive enough to try new
ways and keep up to date.

more about LOVE these days
and know less about it than in
any age since the world began.
That nine-tenths of the poems
written in the days of Byron
and Moore we're protestations
of love and devotion to some
fair Cloe or Myrtilla; but most
of those we read in the periodi-
Gals today are poems of def
ance, telling Myrtilla to "take
her hat and CO."
That many an April bride
groom will find that it takes
nearly all of the honeymoon to
cure him of the headache,
ennui and pessimism created by
a show-wedding.
That when a man begins to
have that faraway look in his
eyes while he's kissing you,
what he probably sees is a new
lovelight-in another woman'S
eyes.
That many a girl secretly
thinks she ought to have mar
ried a millionaire when she
can't even make a success of
the half-portion she managed
to get.
That most women suffer from
a strange malady called "chintz
madness" at this time Of year,
brought on by the proximity of
flowers. Rose fever is nothing
beside it.

Questions on Traffic Change
Editor, Times:
Well, sir, we may be all
wrong and we may be doing
some of our leading and fellow
citizens an injustice but
Looking at a few Of the
major problems with which our
street car companies are con-
fronted and then holding some
of the more prominent sore
spots to the light at certain
angles it makes a whole that
can be made to hang together
if the brand of stickum used
is the right kind.
It's like this:
Our street car companies
needed to boost their incomes.
So they boosted the fares.
And the number of people
travelling to and fro and from
here to there by way Of the
electric lines fell off. Quite
considerably.
They have claimed right
along that the net revenues
climbed. But the last monthly
report tells a different story.
We are, it is assured from
announced plans Of the Dis
trict Commissioners, to have
some new traffic regulations
which are designed to make
life much more worth while in
the National Capital.

Lukewarm Facts
More things that you may
have suspected:
That in London they never
speak of reducing" They call
It "slimming," which the sales
girl will tell you is much more
feminine" and delicate.
That many wife who could
keep her husband away from
the corner saloon in the old
days, cannot manage to keep
him from Sneaking out into
the cocktail-kitchen half a
dozen times an evening.
That mixing a little common
sense with love is like mixing a
little flour with corn-meal. 1t
sort of holds it together and
gives it staying power.
That this is the time of year
when you have the urge to
dose your husband with the
usual spring tonic. But don't be
surprised if it makes him forget
his bald spots, his age, his
rheumatism and his wedding
vows.
That sophisticated women are

under the electric lights.

say-are probably strong for
just that.
But the effect Of some parts
of the new proposed regulations
will be to make it impossible
for hundreds of Government
employees to go to and from
their places of work in their
automobiles.
True enough, there is moth
ing in the new rules saying
that they can't drive their
machines on the streets of the
city, but by defining new park
ing zones and prohibiting them
from parking machines on the
streets until after they have to
be at work, the rules might
