STAID BRITISH
 REPORTERS STUNC

London, April 18 - (UP) The arrival of five Alstian puppies in a Southend-O -On-Sea Nursing Home upset Fleet street on end today.
 The happy event caused the word to fly that quintuplets had been born to woman in the home. Norm ally staid British reporters scurricd to telephones.
 Then 1t turned out that someone was leading them on. The owner of the nursing home, Mrs. l.. M. Pirie, issued the following statement:
 Somebody has been playing q joke. My Alsatian dog, Betty, had five puppies yesterday. My daughter telegraphed to her aunt, Betty gave birth to five
 Perhaps someone in the telegraph office, knowing owned a nursing home, jumped to the conclusion from my daughters message that quintuplets had been born. The only unusual birth in my nursing home was on April E, when a six months baby was born"

ported sales Up l3,l per cent in March and Easter business was sub- stantial. Wholesalers were more ac- tive with hardware and shoe mer- chants doing particularly well.
 Slightly lower prices on new WoolS failed to attract buyers in the local market and concessions were eX- pected to be temporary. Wool tops firmed. Imports continued large with over 6h million pounds ar- irving during the week. Few orders for WooIen and worsted yarns were booked and prices were weak. Wool ems for mems wear were quiet, but fabrics for WomenS lines were in de- mand. Garment manufacturers were busy.
 Raw cotton was slightly higher, but finished goods tended to decline. Gray goods moved slowly, but cot- ton yarn spinners received good volume of small orders. A sharp in- crease in quantities of rayon yarns used for spinning fabrics was re- ported.
 Few hides changed hands in the local market during the week, but prices were steady. Demand for many gardes of leather improved. although prices were practically un- changed. Footwear manufacturers were expected to increase cutting op- erations soon because retail sales were markedly higher and whole salcrs have delivered considerable merchandise.
 Heavy building materials were more active and price incrcascs were reported for sewer pipe and roofing. Lumber was quiet, except for hard woods, which were bought for furai- turc manufacture.
 Demand for pig iron in the local market was moderate, and was largely filled from foreign cargocs arriving this week. Estimates of carloadings for the next quarter in- dicate a gain of about 61a per cent. Collections were good, but whole Salers and manufacturers have given concessions to merchants in the flood area, which reduced their averages.

The American boy had been for mer U. s. Navy submarine chaser and grounded late yesterday short ly after the start of reserve cruise from New Haven. The yacht went ashore at Two Tree Island, north of Bartlett's Reef, in dense fog. The location was one of the most treach- erous along the coast.
 Patrol Boat To Rescue
 A radiogram was sent to the coast guard base and the patrol boat 402, under command of Chief Boatswain Ora Lambert, was dis patched to the yachts aid. The 48 reserves and six members of the crew were taken off under difficult ty, due to the fog and rolling sea. Meanwhile the patrol 404 was sent to assist and the patrol was ordered to stand by because two members of the crew decided to remain aboard for the night. During the night, however, the sea became so rough the two crew hands asked to be talk en off and they were taken aboard the 404 which proceeded to New London to obtain longer hawser to pull the American Boy off the reef.
 The fire broke out while the 404 was returning to Two Tree Island. The blaze had gained such head way 1t was impossible to try to save the boat and the 404 remained standing by until the fire burned It. self out. The reservemen, all from New York, were quartered and fed at the base here and will be re- turned to New York by bus tomor- row.

Editorial

It is said that among certain OrientaIs the weather Is never dis cussed because It is sacrilegious to question the work ot God. To criti- cize the weather Is to criticize d. rectIy, while to comment about the weatners beIng good Is to imply that it could be otherwise. Do We not all complain too much of the weather! The weather Is only one cause of complaint. Do We not all spend too much ot our lives ln futile dlscoutent? Why should we worry constantly about multitude ot tri1les?

Typlng

The typing classes have more popularity than any other class in high school. Twenty-three students are taking typing and as there are only twelve typewriters the stu dents are divided into two classes. Typing A is third period in the morning and typing B is second period in the afternoon. The school has three new Underwood typewrit- CTS this year.
 Each student has a graphic rec ord for every test on accuracy and speed. The tests last five, ten or twenty minutes. At the end of the semester some students will make thirty-five words per minute while others will make twelve or fifteen words per minute. There is no set amount of words to make.
 Some students have done little mimeographing but everyone at the present time is working on business letters.
 MT. Cline, instructor, said that the typing classes were doing very well as a whole.

Courtesy is politeness combined with kindness. A person can be po- lite, yet there may be no kindness in his manner. Courtesy is the abil- ity to make one feel that it is a pleasure to serve or assist him in any way possible. If you have a courteous manner you will make the stranger feel more at home and the man with a difficult task to per form will feel that it is not so hard.

Courtesy

Courtesy means politeness or be- ing a gentleman, who is not selfish and is willing to help others when help is needed Often courtesy is not taken very seriously and many people can thereby judge a person by that. But when one is with friends and pals he usually dis regards it, because he thinks that the more merry he is the more pub licity he will receive. However, very few people have realized that cour- tesy is one of the most essential things in life; once he obtains the habit, it is almost automatically used wherever he goes.

What Courtesy Means to Me

To me, courtesy means politeness and also kindness. Some people be- lieYe that it isn't necessary to be courteous but 1t is important throughout your life. Courtesy is one of the first things that shows character. If you are speaking to person and you interrupt him, he will immediately say to himself, you are very impolite and have never been taught manners" So, everyone should practice courtesy, and when you have conquered that, you can be sure you have progressed one step nearer to your goal.
