than were taken away by all the wars

That. think, is an extreme thing 10
say. Hundreds of thousands Of men
We're killed during the wars of Ma

during the American Civil War and

1t is true. however. that Lister saved

him full credit for all the saving OF
lives which will take place through
the use of "antiseptics" in time to

the work of one man depends on what
has been done by others who have

Slowly, painfully. through the ages.
scientists have labored to learn new

they have learned. This building up
of knowledge has given the human

During the long period of human
history, another force has been at work

Dear Mrs. Post: I have been taking
a girl out for the greater part OF two
years. We always have to take her
mother or sister Cor BOTH with us,
no matter whether it is to the movies
or for a ride in my car-and, I might
add. at my expense. I have COM
planned to the girl, and she saws II l
like her as much as I pretend, l won't
mind. What. if anything, is there
left for me to do?"
Answer: Thirty years ago her be-
havior would have been conventional.
Today it is SO unreasonable as to sug-
gest that she likes your car and the
movies more than she does you. In
your place I would tell her frankly
that one man. two girls and an older
woman are not your idea of a pleas
ant party. If she still insists on in
Guiding her whole family, I would
transfer my attentions to another girl.
Dear Mrs. Post: l received a post
card from a friend who is away on her
vacation. The card has no salutation

coldness, until some one told me that
none were intended for post cards.
Is this true?"

AMERICAN SHeu.


In Capt. John Smiths diary, in 1922,
there is an entry recording the TACT
that "of smelts there is such abundance
that the Salvages doe take them up the
river with baskets. like sieves."
During the Winter vast numbers are
taken After being frozen, they are
shipped to the large cities. When
shipped unfrozen, they are referred to
as green" smelts and bring a much
higher price.
Smells are great fishermen them
selves. They are fond of shrimp and
other small crustaceans. The largest
Smelt is rarely over IL inches in length.
They are transparent olive greenlsh
color, silvery sided, with tiny, dusky
spots The fins are dark. eyes very
bright. The form of this fish is slen-
der, the head is long and pointed. the
tail deeply notched, After spawning
time. the adults return to salt water
to spend the Summer. They move
about in schools, seeking their food.
The eggs are very tiny and sink at
once to the bottom. where they STICK IN
clusters to the pebbles. sticks, roots,
grass stems and to each other. A fe-
male that weighs over two ounces Will
produce from 10000 to $4,000 eggs.

when the young fry are several weeks
older they, too, go down to the sea.
| In early Autumn, the adult members
of the family gather in vast numbers
in brackish waters and in harbors.
Here they remain until the ice forms
They pass the Winter months between
the harbor mouths and the brackish
estuaries Just as soon as the water
warns up a bit, they migrate to the
fresh water to spawn. They are not
great travellers and many go only a
few hundred yards above tidewater.
/ They are year and a half old before
/ they spawn.
1t is possible to hatch Smelt eggs
under artificial conditions, and intro
duce the young fry into streams from
which all smelts have disappeared. In
this way. artificial propagation has re-
stocked waters with this fish.

known, and the catching and packing
of this fish brings a living to many

Smelt fishermen, thousands of them,
flock to the harbors and streams in
the Autumn. The smelt is greedy and

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPRoWLS.
Occupational Satisfaction.

Almost every one now and then en-
tertains some doubt about his or her
choice of occupation. When things
don't go just right, they have their mo-
ments of reflection on the possible mis-
\ take they have made in choice of occu-
patton.
Occupational psychology is one of the
newest and most interesting of all the
fields of mental investigation.
Suppose a lawyer, at the age Of 25,
thinks he has made mistake in his
choice of occupation. What now does
he day-dream about? The occupation
of private secretary is likely to be his
first choice.
Suppose a 30-year-old physician feels
that he has made mistake. The fig
ures show that he likes the idea of be-
ing pharmacist.
Suppose a 30-year-old minister thinks
he has made mistake. He is likely to
think he would be a better success as a
social worker.
What sort of professional man is least
likely to imagine that he has made a
mistake? The minister seems to be the
best satisfied from all ages-25 to 55.
Who is likely to be most dissatisfied?
Life insurance statesmen seem to lead
the list in this respect.
OF course, the investigation of occu-
pational psychology is just beginning.
One thing seems certain. If man
likes his occupation at 25, he is pretty
likely to keep on liking it. The ways
of the shop" turn out to be habits. II
he makes change after 30 he is pretty
likely to lead life Of regrets.

have q beginning nor do they have
more than the most abbreviated sigma
ture possible at the close.
Introductions.
Introductions are really very simple.
but they are limited by certain definite
tabus. For example, one may not say,
Mr.. Jones, shake hands with Mr..
Brown" Or, Mrs Brown, meet Mrs.
Jones'" or Mr.. johnson, let me make
you acquainted with -" The word
acquainted" is tabu, always. But
one may say, Mrs. Eminent, let me in
troduce Mr.. Neighbour" But Mrs.
Eminent. may present Mr.. Neighbour"
is best form.
One Of the most rigid rules Of eti-
quette exactS that you say How do you
do" after an introduction. Nothing
else ever, except under unusual circum-
stances-such as when you are hostess
Cor host) and a stranger is brought by
friend to your house. Then you say,
I'm very glad to see you" or I'm de-
lighted to see you" Or again, when
you are introduced to some one about
whom you have long heard through
mutual friends, or with whom you have
some especial interest in common. IN
this case you say, I'm very glad TO
meet you," or I'm so glad to see you
at last" One must never say PLEASED
to meet you" or I'm pleased to make
your acquaintance"
Make your acquaintance" is bad
phrase; pleased to meet you" Is not a
sentence. But why I'm very pleased
to meet you" should be tabu, l don't
know, except that these last four words
have SO long been associated with Vul-
garity that they have come finally 70
represent vulgarity. Many valuable
words and phrases have in this way
been disqualified by misuse.
On formal occasions, a hostess always
stands at the door and shakes hands
with every arrival. Informally, she
rises and goes forward to greet every
guest-a man as well as woman. A
woman guest does not stand when in
troduced to some one at distance, but
she stands II a stranger offers her hand.
She does not stand when shaking hands
with friend of her own-unlesS the
friend is very much older.
Should an old lady enter the room IN
which many other ladies are seated, the
others do not rise unless members o.
the family. One young person would,
of course, rise If an elderly person came
into the room But seven or eight all
getting up and sitting down every little
while would produce an effect not so
much of politeneSS as OF confusion.
Younger members OF a family rise
whenever friends of their parents, or OF
! their own, enter. Every gentleman
stands for as long as his hostess or any
other lady does.

And always they found these patches
far from the dear Old Briar-patch and
chuckled as they watched Peter stuff
himself while pretending that he was
merely sampling each patch. They
knew that it hadn't once entered his
head that the work of carrying the
clover and grasses so great distance
back to the dear Old Briar-patch would
be many times the work of cutting
them. 1t was little joke on their part
and they wondered how long it would
be before Peter awoke to this fact.
On the morning when Peter really
did begin work close to the Briar-patch
Sammy came over to tell him of an
ether patch Of clover he had found
AS usual, it was far across the Green
MeadowS.
Thanks" said Peter somewhat gruf-
fly. "It is too far away. The nearer
home can get my supply the shorter
the distance will have to carry it."
Sammy's eyes twinkled. when are
you going to begin work." he asked.
Il have already begun" replied Peter.
Excuse me, Sammy, but am too busy
to talk. have too much to do"
II beg your pardon, Peter. wouldn't
interrupt for the world" replied Sam
my gravely. "You don't mind if I
watch you, do you?"
mot at ALL said Peter.
So Sammy perched in a little tree on
the edge of the dear Old Briar-patch
and his eyes twinkled more than ever
as he watched Peter work. Peter would
cut two or three stems of clover and
let them lie where they fell. Then he
would find a particularly nice one and
stop to eat it. He took his time about
this Then he would sit up to look
around Presently in half-hearted
sort of way he would cut few more
stems.
Silently Sammy flew away. When
he was beyond hearing he chuckled.
He hunted up Blacky the Grow. Peter
has begun work." he announced.
mot really" exclaimed Blacky.
Really" replied Sammy, chuckling.
"At least he thinks he is working
II am going to see for myself" de-
clared Blacky.
"Do," said Sammy. "Peter Rabbit
working is something to see.''
Sammy spread his blue-and-white
wings and few OF to spread the news

and Blacky headed straight for the
dear Old ar-patch. When he ar
rived Peter was sitting in the middle
of the clover idly looking of across the
Green Meadows. A leaf of clover hung
from a corner of his mouth.
Il hear you really have begun work, -
said Blacky.
Peter at once became very busy.
yes" said he. Il have begun har-
vesting my Winter supply Of food and
have a great deal to do You'll ex-
cuse me, I'm sure, IL do not stop to
gossip. 1 really haven't the time"
Certainly" replied Blacky gravely
Far be it from me to interfere with
any one who has work to do"
Peter cut two stems Of clover, and
then stopped to eat one. Just then
Bob White arrived. Carol the Meadow
Lark dropped in. One after another
other friends arrived They had come
to see Peter work. Despite his good in
tentions, Peter stopped to gossip.

Uncommon Sense
Travelling
BY JOHN BLAKE.

"HE proverb says that a man Is
known by the company he
keeps 1t might also say that he
Is made by the company he
keeps. However individual peo-
pie may be, however intelligent or tal-
ented. they need the association and the
companionship of others.
1t is impossible in this world to play
a lone hand. Even such great and COM
pelling world figures as Napoleon have
needed and had friends, II not advisers.
Young men and women advance more
rapidly, learn more. and think stralghter
if they pick friends who are intelligent
and ambitious, and use the minds that
the Creator bestowed upon them.
In the swirl and mix of the current OF
life, you are certain to meet all sorts
and conditions of people, When you find
those who are congenial who are inter-
ested in the same things, and share IN
general way the same ambltlons,
'grapple them to thy soul with hooks OF
steel" You will not meet many OF
them. So make firm friends with those
whom you find
You need friends who follow the same
calling as your own, but they are not
enough. You will broaden your mind
and increase your capacity Tor thougnt
if YOU make friends who are In otner
occupations, and from whom you can
learn things which would otherwise pe
outside your sphere.
Travel whenever it is possible. See
other lands and countries. Learn at
least enough of one or two foreign IAN
guages to be able to exchange IDEAS
with men and women OF other natlonS.
In your own sphere, get acquainted with
people who are in activities quite dl1er-
ent from your own.
You will naturally want to associate
with those Of your own calling. because
you will have more in common with
them. But If you make no other asso-
Citations, you are sure to grow narrow
and to lose q great deal OF the fun OF
life.
So while you are on the long journey,
which can lead to happiness or ruin,
choose those with whom you must take
your way. They will take the place OF
teachers and of parents.
They will supply you with something
to think about, and something to argue
about, and argument, while 1t Is dis
tasteful to the weak-minded, Is the best
possible tonic for the thoughtful and
ambitious
If you are shy and difddent and
averse to meeting people. force yourself
to do it for q time, and your shyness
will soon wear OIL.
However brilliant, however learned
you may be, you can no more win hap
piness with q lone hand than you can
build your own house or your own motor
car alone.

To wash chamois skins which

To keep dahlia bulbs during
the Winter, fill a box with dry
leaves and bury the bulbs in
them, but if ones cellar is very
damp, even then the leaves might
collect dampness and so rot the
bulbs. They need a fairly dry
