They may fear the penalty or they may be honestly concerned for fear they should en- danger people alighting from the car or coming around it. But most drivers want to pass a car that is constantly stopping every block or two; shme- times it is necessary for such drivers to make as good time, within reason and law, as possible. The best time, of course, to pass a trolley is when it is traveling at a slow rate of speed. But the motorist is often without knowledge whether the trolley is about to stop, whether it has just started, or whether its slow speed is caused by some other reason. They are “up in the air,” Thy do not know, often, whether or not the car is about to stop. They are obliged sometimes to regulate their own speed by that of the car they desire to pass. There would seem to he absolutely no reason why the trolley cars and all the jitneys as well should not be re- quired to have “Stop Lights” at the rear of each trolley or jitney, just as automobiles have them .Tt is the com- son habit of motorists, when desiring | to pass a car, to watch for the hand of the conductor of the car to see if he is about to pull the cord bringing | *, the car to a stop.

The writer, perhaps even her name, is forgotten by them in the memory of the sweet hopefulness of one who loved the whdle world and particularly the little ones of it. The story is simplicity itself and breathing affection for hu- manity in every line, It is cited now, rather than any other of the many stories Mrs. Wiggin wrote, because it any represents, perhaps, better than any other of her accomplishments, the ideal of her which we hold in memory. ¥ew see behind the simplicity of that tale the foundations built for it. As the most plain and unadorned structure, if enduring, is the result of | innumerable inventions and discover- ies, so this simple tale and so the life of the accomplished writer resulted from a flne human understanding, cherished and cncouraged by ,study and practical work for the benefit of others. The details in the life Kate Douglas Wiggin, appearing the news “‘columns today, show her early interest in work which has long been consldered peculiarly that of women. Her teaching of children and her study of kindergarten work is an ex- ample. Today, when the proper entry of woipen into the business field is $0 noticeable,.it does no harm to re- member, too, this phase of the life of women as it appeared in the day when Mrs. Wiggin was active in it. One is impelled to hope devoutly that with the increasing recognition of women in the world!s affairs, there will not come a tendency to forget that other side of life interest which men's hands are too awkward to mould. of in [} Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLXN.

Duesseldorf, Aug. 24.—Traders in the Ruhr have learned to hew to the line of the gold basis let the marks fall where they may. Although the prices of commodities are still given in marks all transactions whether in newspapers or automobiles, are figur- cd mentally in dollars, pounds or francs, Until recently the foreigner with crisp dollar bills in his pocket, could find real bargains, but this is no long- er possible, Every little shop now received three or four times a day the official quotation on the mark in Berlin, London and New York and prices are adjusted each time a new quotation arrives. TFurthermore a liberal margin is tacked on in antici- pation of a further drop before the stores close for the day. Calculations are simplified by means of a table of figures somewhat resembling a logarithm table furnish- ed to all shopkeepers by the Cham- ber of Commerce in each town. Prices of merchandise, in good values are printed in one column, while the day's prices in paper marks appear in an adjacent column. The adjustment between the gold and paper value is reached by means of what is called a4 “multiplicator.” | When the mark was quoted at around | three million to the dollar, for exam- ple, it was estimated that the multi- plicator should be 300,000. That is, an article worth one mark gold would Miss Mildred Mann is at Niantic for a short stay. William E. Burk, who has been in Tampa, Florida for several ,months, has returned. S. W.
