Omeplaint used to be made about the doings of the high-steppers, but the gas steppers seem to maké more trouble now. #f the men take to wearing whiskers again, they-may appear to have superior wisdom until they open. their mouths and begin to talk. ‘Can you remember the time when your maiden aunts used to protest if old Dobbin was being driven as fast as eight miles an hour? The people declare that their rights shall not be trampled upon, but the householder can not say = that with equal confidence about his flower garden. Apparently many thousands of people who visit’ Washington think that the president will feel hurt if they do not call on him and ask after the folks, Ringing the bells is a way of. expressing pop- ular Joy, but the solicitors of Key West need not think they must keep ringing our doorbells to make us joyful. The girls may not hear the stern voice of amherity from their parents, but a faintly whisper- ed ifjvitation to go out to ice cream will be per- fectl¥ audible. Suggestions are often given for avoiding business failure, and the only suggestion that will save some folks from this misfortune is not to go into business. HURRY, WORRY AND FEAR The following suggestions are from a leaflet entitled “Business Chemistry,” which is issued every little while by Skinner, Sherman & Esselen, Inc. “Reading Burnham's ‘The Normal Mind’ re- cently we came upon some paragraphs which we wish might be worked into the life philosophy of every man and every woman. “Riggs has formulated an excellent code of rules in substance as follows: “Be efficient in what you do, . .. In short, do not drive your tacks with a sledge-hammer. There is a better, less fatiguing way. Find out how easily you can do things well, and take pride in such skill. “Do not accept hurry a’ a necessary part of modern life. spells success, and quality is destroyed by hurry. ‘The worst enemy of efficiency, as well as the a whirling best ally of nervousness, is worry. complete circle of inefficient thought about a pivot of fear. To avoid it, consider first whether the problem in hand is actually your busi- ness. If it is not turn to something that is. If it is your business decide next whether it be your Worry is business now. “Lastly, to evoid breaks in character, breaks between your ideals and your everyday actions, recognize that your problem is fundamentally the | same as everyone else's, no matter what your par ticular job may be. . . . De not criticize your part im the play, study it, understand it, and then play | | with | it, sick or well, rich or poor, with faith, courage and with proper grace.’ “Why not clip this out and slip it in your pocket-book, to read every time you get a hurry, worry or fear complex?” « « « Quality of work, not quantity, | KEY WEST COMES INTO HER OWN When, during a terrific blizzard in New Eng- | land last February, Key West graciously offered | its top-notch brand of “summer-all-winter” weath- | er to Boston, and courtesies were exchanged by wire and friendship were forged which even the flood of | anti-Florida propaganha has not weakened. | The serious novelty of that wholly fair and | honorable advertising stunt has effected the per- | sonnel of the railway publicity departments, -as | and by mail, strong links of esteem nouncing for the first time known along the keys first-class round trip tickets betwcen Key West | and Boston, “gateway to the summer playground | of New England.” This advertisement deserves more than pass- | The Atlantic Coast | Line Railroad in connection with the Flagler Sys- | tem had on daily sale round trip tickets between Key West and Boston, as well as Key West and New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. _What does this mean? the initial time Key West at the extreme southern tip of the nation has been doing things that have so attracted the attention of travellers that the railroads have been called upon to give information | to inquirers. The railroad advertising men know this. ing mention; it is noteworthy. It means that for | Inquirers are potential customers. | Therefore an opportunity has been seized to extend the hand | of our Island City to the world at large. And it is made just as easy to buy a round | trip ticket between any of the other cities and Key | West. Hence, mutual helpfulness; an opportunity | for increased friendliness. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad is distinctly “in right.” It has de- veloped a new line of thought; it is suggesting in its very captivating advertisement that the era of better feeling -between the North and Florida can find through this railroad yet another channel along which to flow. “Economical, enjoyable tours. * Round tickets on sale daily.” trip | MORONS A word that you frequently hear in modern discussion, but which you may not be able to find in your dictionary if it was compiled quite a num- ber of years ago, “moron.” To hear some cynical people talk, you would think that about half of the people of the United States were morons. , As correctly defined, a moron isa mentally deficient person above the needs care and supervision for his own protection and that of the public. 5 Some of the children who are unable to keep up in grammar schools are morons, although they may be doing the best they can under éxisting con- ditions. There are said to be several hundred thousand of them in this country. While many people will do things that seem sited only to moron intelligence, yet it does not imbecile ‘ class, who witness the recent publication in issues of The | Citizen of a striking two-column advertisement an- | The Fun Is Temporarily Postponed reser) ; | Saux- Thougat KE SAD ARour we wit NOW Jake uP ThE RIVERS ANP HARBORS BiLL_AND The FRENCH DEBT AGREEMENT AN Don'T FORGET, You mus?

That | child may be thoroughly competent in many ways. | But with the moron class the mental deficiency in- volves a lack of perception that is much below the average. The failure of the community to give proper | care to these young people has been one of the | most serious mistakes of our social system in past | years. Most of them are capable of doing good honest work along certain simple lines. What is | needed is to show them how to do that work, and | to help them to form fixed habits of industry, and then they may need to be placed in homes or in- stitutions where they will be looked after. Prob- | ably most of them would become useful members of society if they had the right kind of training and care. 2 The community long ago learned to look af- | ter people who are deficient in health in hospitals, | but it seemed to have the idea that many of those who were deficient in brain power could look after themselves, which unfortunately is not usually the case. TREE BEAUTY Thickly settled cities and towns can not have the wild beauty of the open country, but any of them can have a marvelous display of beauty along their home streets by the cultivation of fine shade trees. Many cities have become famous as the re sult of the wonderful beauty of their trees. Paris, for instance, not merely is a wonder ful’ city in its historical and artistic sights, but it hes remarkable physical beauty through its fine horse chestnut trees, and those who when those trees are in bloom will net forget that touch of beauty. visit that city Many of the older American towns are noted for their graceful elms, which point to heaven like | ® gothic arch, Florida and for their | luxuriant palms, California for its study eucalyptus, California ¥ city might well specialize on some fine Variety of trees which shall give that t a dis: | tinctive character The br | but some are waitir June | Ideas. | wants the best breaks he can get.
