How different with the Carlyon bill! It was born in secrecy, hatched in mystery, and passed by the lash of the legislative whips. The Star KNOWS of legislators who voted FOR the measure if order to stay regular’ but who privately were AGAINST it. The Carlyon bill was rail- roaded thru; there was no public sentiment for it; the pub- lic knew nothing about it; even the automobile interests which are now boosting it weren't consulted; leading good roads workers were ignored; it was a special interest meas- ure pure and simple, slipped over by a few men who knew what they wanted. And if they could have done so, they would not have let the people vote on the measure. But be- cause $30,000,000, as they claim the measure calls for, or $42,000,000, which is the real amount, exceeds the constitu- 4 “tn waning. my daughter, see that/ tional limit, they were compelled to give the people a voice ; behave becominglty, neither coTin the matter. with haste, nor too slowly; since ie an evidence of being puffed up walk too slowly, and tily causes a vicious habit of rest and instability. oer i your head much tnelined, or “Tyour bedy bent; nor as Little go with 3 head very much raised; walk r with your head slightly in eee _ Bee, my daughter, that you give Ro concern about the words may hear, in going thru the 5 OF pay any regard to them, those who come and go say what wil a eee | Bee, my daughter, that you never walking | Counting the interest.

Thinking men and women alike have deplored this tendency, not for the sake of the personal deference accorded women, but because of the realization that all conventions, even the mere manners of social veage, are the outgrowth of those fundamentals upon which civilization Women have long since observed, smiled over and paaned by euch fine distinctions as “hats off” in department store and hotel elevators and hats on in elevators of office buildings. But the mpidity with which the bars are being let down in more serious ways by the younger busl- ness generation, is not a thing to smile over. Women executives, in- stinctively feminine, know this. Nevertheless, they are smiling: emfiing with a studied polifeness that has but one intent, and that is the reestablishment of a single code of manners.
