MUCH DIFFERENCE /?v MORAL ATTITUDE French and English Do Not See Eye to Eye. The Entlish Itintunge and the AngloSaxon temper distinguish aliarply between manners and morals Manners arc desirable things, excellent things; they should be taught early and constantly maintained; but they are superficial, secondary ; and the possessor us commendable morals may be sometimes excused if his manners are inadequate. Indeed, there Is often a feeling that manners are not only superficial, but artificial; that an excess of them indicates insincerity and hypocrisy; and that a finely finished bearing suggests an insufficient moral basis, says a writer In the Youth's < ‘ompnnlon. The French attitude Is quite different. In fact, the French have the same word for manners and for morals, and there is, If not a confusion, nt least a constant Interplay between the two. In French a moralist Is not a person who passionately preaches improvement of the spiritual nature, but a student of humnn life' and character and motive. Indeed, the Identity of thought goes back beyond the French language to the Latin, In which the word mores, the direct original of our morals, means primarily manners and customs. The Anglo-Saxon Is naturally scornful of the Latin attitude, assuming that It implies mistaking mere courtesy for solid virtue. At the same time it is by no means certain that I there is not a deeper truth In the | French View of the matter. Morals ■ deal with our relations to others. MatI tliew Arnold said that conduct was . three-fourths of human life. Arnold's | mathematics may be disputable, but at any rate conduct is a very great part of life and conduct is morals and morals is that part of life which is 1 ohcerned with our dealings with other lives. Now, if we reflect a moment, we shall see that all that Is really beautiful and valuable in manners is ' also a matter of our relations to others. True politeness, true courtesy. I are not based on display or effect, but wholly on kindness; on a quick and sure apprehension of what will help ethers, will soothe them, will' make them feel at their ease. The esssence i of all good manners is to cultivate and lo strengthen the habit and the power of putting yourself in another’s place. And thus manners and morals are not so far tipart after all. Hour of Death For some time there lias been a prevalent idea that more people die at midnight than at any other hour. This lias led to an Investigation of the 24,742 natural deaths that occurred in the borough of Manhattan, New York, during 1923. It was found that fewer people died at midnight than at any I other hour of the day. The heaviest I mortality took place between the hours , •>{ 1 and 3 a. m., those small hours i of the morning in which doctors have long declared that vitally is at its lowest. The number of deaths were lowest from eight o'clock to midnight. For the 24 hours of the day deaths occurred as follows; 1 a. m., 1,254; 2 a. m., 1,114; 3, 1,074; 4, 1,085; •5. 1,118 : 6, 1,089 ; 7, 1,014, 8, 1,024; 9, 1,043; 10, 1.046; 11, 1,086; noon. 878; 1 p. tn., 986; 2 p. m., 1,013; 3, 1,042; 4, 1,090 ; 5, 1,026 ; 6, 991; 7, 1,100; 8, , 919; 9, 952; 10, 989; 11, 991; midnight, 801 deaths. Fighting Japanese Beetle Seeking for a siren lure for the scourge of New Jersey and Pennsylvania orchards and gardens, the Japanese beetle, the bureau of entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, has discovered that geraniol sprayed in plants brings every Jap- . anese beetle for a long distance to I windward to the tree. The beetles hover around it, inhaling the odor with apparent delight. They do not eat the geraniol, but recent experiments have shown that they enjoy the taste of lead 1 oleate. Previously it has not been posI sihle tn persuade them to eat arsenate of lead, because some instinct Seems to warn them it is poisonous, but when i this is mixed with lead oleate the taste of the arsenic and lead Is dis- ! guised. Ahead of Times Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department, is thinking | of starting a crusade against the state ' seal. | "\Ve are not cutting down trees any more, nr at least we should not advoI cate it, and soon we will not be able ( to,” he said. "Our jiresent seal, do you know what It represents? I will tell you. The last man in the state cutting down the last tree in the state, while the last buffalo leaves the state and the sun is sinking behind the dis- , tant hills to leaie a barren state in complete darkness. The designer of the scall was a prophet.”—lndianapolis ’ News'. Not a Legal Precedent • In Chancery court in London recently a decision involving SSOO was made on ths togs of • penny.

limits power of THIEF DETECTIVES i I Horse Thief Detectives Not Law Enforcing Officer, Gilliom Holds A recent informal opinion by State attorney-General Arthur GHliam. may lave some effect in Adams county, ueording to local attorneys and nen about the court house. The ruing pertains to the Horse-Thief Deactive Associations, which are organzed in nearly every county in the tate. The Attorney General holds hat members of those associations ■ave no right to occupy law-enforcing Hisitions, because of their memberhip in such, and that their arresting lowers are routined to hore thieves •nly. In this county there are between 50 and 175 members of the Horse I’hief Detective Association and. ac•ording to the law. they Uave been nvested with the powers of a con(table, which include the making of n arrest. In some counties they are iven the right to carry guns, but as ar as could be learned here, not aany of the members do this. Members of the association have men of service to regular officers in apprehending offenders of the law, ut it is doubtful, according to Mr. lilliom. that any county needs an rmed police force. The attorney-general's opinion was lot given as an official ruling, but in •eply to a request for his informal opinion on the law and regulations >y a member of the Horse-Thief letcctive Association, and it is not known what, effect his opinion will lave. In recent years, there has been very little horse stealing. o- , FRACTION WRECK NEAR BLUFFTON (Continued from Page One) •d on the tracks. The night schedule was run on a detour around the wreckage.

o —— South Bend And Evansville Win In School Enumeration Indianapolis. May 16. — Unofficial ■school enumeration figures from South Bend. Evansville and Fort Wayne tolay gave Soul 11 Bend and Evansville epresent .lion on the state board of ■ducation for the coming year. The figures gave South 25.095, •Dansville, 23,392; Fort Wayne. 23,The three cities engaged in an an- I nual fight for membership on the I •oard because of ute closeness of their I enumeration figures. Under the state law the three cities I with the largest school population are entitled to membership on the I board. Indianapolis is easily assured of permanent membership. I The other two places are in doubt I each year until reports are received from South Bend. Evansville and Fort Wayne. South Bend showed a gain of 906 in school population for the year and Evansville 513. Fort Wayne's * n i crease was 689. 1 In view of the fact that Evansville holds membership over Fort Wayne by only 70 on the basis of the enum-eration,-it is regarded as nro’'-'-’- that i a recount will be asked. I I Ast year when Evansv lie replaced Foit Wayne on the board, a second enumeration was demanded by Fort Wayne officials. o_ ( 1,000 Homing Pigeons To , Be Released Here Sunday H. B.
