It is doubtful also whether Hie youngsters require instruction in manners any more urgently than the adults, for it must bo confessed that as a people Ameri cans are not distinguished for courtesy. ' Two answers are made by those who resent such criticism of American manners; (Jiat a hustling people have no time for cere mony and that much of the politeness of Europeans is only on the surface "and does not spring from the heart. It is a mistaken idea that politeness is a waste of time. As for "surface courtesy," il: is better than none at all. It would be absurd to import such an exaggerated courtesy and bowing to the other passengers on en tering and leaving a public conveyance, or requiring conductors to express' thanks for each fare, but it is not unreasonable to suggest that there are other ways in which national manners might be materially improved.

Simon Ilenson erected the hotel in the usual Ilenson manner complete in every detail and made it a most beautiful place, litit .Mr. Tienson has reached the time' of life when he does not care for hotels. In the purchase Mr. Starr secures the land surrounding the line hotel and intends to erect forty bungalows, it is a case of seeing into tho future. Jlr. Starr knows the travel is coming. He knows people are living on wheels these days and use their mean-; to enjoy themselves as they never did before. He also knows they all want to stop at first class hotels and his venture is to be one of a series which will spell first class hotel accomodations for the touring public. A Soviet Bible Plan '.

The official soviet press declares that the .Moscow regime may eventually be da-posed to "buy" trade relations with America by part payment of debts incurred by Uussia. At the same time the validity of those debts is vigorously denied.' r'rom this it would appear that the soviet fails to grasp the American view. It is not merely mi tlu- payment of debts that the Washington government lays stress. Us recognition is conditioned 'on proof of good faith, of whieh payment of debts would be evidence. The soviet plan outlined by the Moscow press plainly negatives good : faith and places debt payment on the basis of a bribe. Thus even ' in pi-oposing to pay part of Russia's debt, the reds show their in lioront crookedness. That Rude Awakening Two little boys ami to tittle oj,ls j,, ,. !(,ml 0(11,nll.v H,M,0(I.
