lu u paper read at a civic» conference
beiti under the* auspices of the Wo-
inau's club of Concord, N. II.. Mrs.
Edward N. I'earaon, the club's presl-
dent, »poke on a pnase of town Im-
proVeUK-liL which is both useful and
attractive. She said in part:
"The Hubji-ct of city rest ruoms be­
comes Interesting when we learn of
places when- they are successfully
support»«!. In every community there
are public spirited citizens who desire
to improve tile condition of Uie home
town, either in making it more lieauti-
ful or more habitable both for resi­
dent nnd visitor. It may be true that
Concord is conservative, but it is
equally true that when an appeal is
made to further a worthy object her
citizens respond generously. One of
the questions that interests us this
evening is, 1 *<x-s Concord need a rest
room? We answer. Yea, because there
are no rest uccominiMiations that wo­
men may make use of while shop­
plug or when detained here for any
reason. The hospitality of the stores
bus lieen gratefully accepted. Iiut they
cannot offer the freedom a rest room
would provide. Among the patrons of
nudi a room there would lie women
living in extreme parts of the town
who are obliged to take their young
children with them while shopping
nnd women from the adjoining towns
who from January to December leave

farms mid who would appreciate a
place where they were welcome to

themselves of the privileges of a rest

courngement they secured two cen­
trally locnt«l rooms. Each member of
the club gave something toward the

soon becoming inadequate for their
needs, two more were addl'd, one to

Heart to Heart

“TH1NKOGRAMS.”
Each of us is a wireless telegraph
station for the transmission of
thought, and each of us is his own
operator.
We send our silent messages day
and night from our station to other
stations. The things we ttdnk are the
messages we send and receive.
"As it man thlnketh in his heart so
is be."
If we think good thoughts and help­
ful thoughts we send out and receive
messages of good nnd of helpfulness.
'Every instrument that is attuned to
this kind of messages receives and
sends out such "thlukograms.”
And—
if we think evil and destructive
thoughts we send out—and recel ve­
evil and destructive thought messages.
< >r
Some may send out messages for
help and assistance, just ns Jack Binns,
wireless hero, who sent his “U Q
calls from the sinking ship over
Atlantic And. believe me. there
receiving instruments so delicate
they Twelve such appeals.
Each Operator adjusts bis instrument
to take only what he wants to hear,
just as tlie wireless machine is adjust-
<-»( to receive only one kind of aero-
gra ins.
Some of us have failed properly to
attune our thought machines, and they
send out nnd receive nil sorts of Jum
hied nnd discordant mi'ssages.
Mind you—
if your thought transmitter sends
out a smile message, a message of
smiles comes back; a frown message
brings back frowns; a hateful mes­
sage hate, and so on.
You say this is fanciful?
it is not. in so far ns mental telep­
athy has been investigated it is the
same sort ns the wireless telegraphy. It
nil depends U|s>n the attuning of the
instruments to the waves.
You do not understand how the wire
loss operator aboard the ship sends
the dots nnd dashes out on the waves I
of tlie air to tlie station on the In nd.
do yon?
But they go!
So you do not understand how your
thought messages go out over the
waves of mental transmission to the
sensitized brain station of another.
but—
They go!
Ilow u<*cessary that wo should at-
nine tlie deltcnte machinery of thought
telegraphy so that only the good and
true and brave "thitikograms” shall
come mid go.
SACRILEGIOUS YOUTHS.
Tlie Memorial day parade was pass­
ing by.
Tlie Sons of Veterans, acting as es­
cort of honor, were in advance of the
old soldiers, some of whom were
marching, and some, too feeble to
march, were being conveyed in auto-
mobiles.
Suddenly, out from it cross street,
cp.me an nnto with its "honk. bonk,
honk." It was occupied by two gig­
gling girls and two callow boys.
Tlie machine plutig«] into the parade
just behind the band, the silly girls
giggling nnd tin* silly lioys making
noises after their kind.
And thus the machine remained so
fur as the present writer could see.
An old Indy who stoisl on the side-
walk—she was the widow of a veteran
- exclaimed as the tears rolled down
her chi*eks:
“Oh, what a sacrilege!"
It was sacrilege ind«-d. Of course
the flippant youngsters did not so re­
gard it. They were out for a holiday
lark and were unconscious of any spe­
cial Irreverence.
That is the pity of it.
The incident Is typh nl. A disregard
of sacred things Is common to a cer-
■:|'n < lii-s of youths.

I m it not so?
And this unenring. indifferent «ÎHpo-
*riti<ai is often found to exist along-
«ide tl seeming contempt for parental
authority, a disregard for th»* aged
and a general r«klessnes* for the
rights of uthero.

Who is to blame?
Parents and teachers. It is wasp ko
cultivate in the heart of a child an
undemanding of the self sacrifice «f
patriotic endeavor and a deep seated
love of American inatituUomi.
No child thus instructed would do
what these malapert youngster* «lid on
Memorial day.
LIVING WITH PEOPLE.
Human life Ls a school, and one of
its most difficult lessons is the art of
living with people.
it is not easy to live with people.
At the best there is friction.
To live iu ibis world with people
mentis wounds made in contact, injus­
tices suffered, annoyance*, misunder­
standings. heartache*.
Oue must needs cultivate self forget­
fulness. self controL good cheer, char­
ity. One must learn to overlook an un-
kindness, forget a discourtesy and en
dure in hi* optimism.
Which is uot easy.
As some one has said. “We need to
have our sharp corners rubtied off and
to learn sweet reasonableness and tol­
erance for other people's points of
view."
lu practice many of u* renlly forget
at times tiiat there are other people in
the world.
Notea few little things:
Does tlie woman who wears the un­
conscionably big hat seriously realize
how inconvenient she makes it for
others?
And the woman with the Jong sharp
hatpin, which endangers tlie eyes of
her neighbors?
Some p«*ople will carry a closed um­
brella in such a way as to trip pedes­
trians or Impale them with the sharp
ferrule.
Others will stop 11 friend in the mid­
dle of the sidewalk and compel the
stream of humanity to eddy around
them.
Or one lias a habit of making a sud­
den halt to look into the shop win­
dows, causing the one who is close be­
hind to topple over him.
Or tliure is the one who opens the
car window or shuts it down, consult­
ing only his personal comfort and to
tally disregarding the wishes of (be
other passengers.
Little things?
Yes. and mostly the result of
thoughtlessness, a forgetting that
there are other people with whom one
must live.
I say nothing of the disagreeable
person who is loud or fussy or grouchy
or dk'tatoriai. deliberately refusing to
live amicably with other people.
Let us not forget that even should
we get to heaven we must live with
people.
Consistency.

Mat Currency In Samoa.
The medium of exchange between
Samoans themselves is still tine mats,
ns it lias been as far liack as their his­
tory can la* verified. The services of
one Samoan to another, a bride’s mar­
riage settlement and the price of land
are all paid in fine mats—mats which
take months of patient labor to pro­
duce, whose texture is as fine as
woven cloth. But. of course, any trans
action between merchants or other
white men and the Samoans must of
necessity tie performed through the
medium of coin, and in minor pur­
chases tietween the whites and natives
the unit of value is tlie shilling. The
Sainoan majestically scorns to notice
the existence of any coin whose value
is less than 25 cents; therefore, even
though you may be able to purchase
a bunch of fine bananas for that
amount, you will also pay a shilling
(aliout the same amount) for a dozen.-
