LET'S GIVE ANOTHER YAWN! : probithle week of beins; without street car lur ilanmiond. WhiflnK and East ruicago.!

It is a la- : .t.!t of affairs. The majority of the people ". l ::ue ji cion. are quite- willing to pay tbe 7-cent i- think 'he company is entitled to it, but a few in '-j"' Hammond city council de.clare that the siiould spend S 100,000 before it is permitted to its fare, and they seem to control the situation, s no concerted effort to get street car service, fret and fame, but nothing is done. Oh. very
tures the heads of some of the divisions realized that they would probably come in for criticism and the word was nassed around that if any strangers entered ihe
i room, the clerks were to be busy. Although the instruci tinn m nnt si hlnntlv nresserl it meant that the
clerks must keep up an appearance of being busy, lest
' the force be reduced. One clerk giving an account of the manner in which
' the appearance of work is kept up relates that it i the
practice of many to start the day's work by writing half a letter on the typewriter, then tfrking another letter in hand go visiting some other clerk with the letter as a pretext. The half-finished letter left in the typewriter
and the letter carried alonp, supplies an explanation for a half dav's idleness.. A little of that kind of waste of time is always expected and overlooked, but it is so com jfnon in some of the var bureaus in Washington as to ja.mount to a public scandal. A new kind of waste of public funds was disclosed recently when the "yoomanettes" were demobilized. The i yeomanettes were women enlisted in the navy on pracI tically tbe same conditions as men but assigned to rler- ' ical duty. Their services were retained some time after
thfy were really needed, but finally discharge became necessary. When they were mustered out they were given travel compensation amounting to 5 cents petmile to their homes, but most of them were immediately given other employment, in the navy department in
Washington, without the loss of a day's time. The buyer i
I of a tl00 Liberty Bond is not likely to feel particularly
vi,l pleased to know that the $100 went to pay the '"transportation" of a yeomanette whose discharge was on paper only and who continued to draw a salary probably larger than that of the bond buyer, with an allowance of 30 days Vacation and 30 days sick leave, each year. And while this is going on, private enterprise is un able to get desired stenographic help.

THE CARD OF THANKS AND ITS WORK. Some supercilious persons poke fun at the so-called "card of thanks," the brief newspaper notice by which, bereaved friends express gratitude to those who have helped them through periods of sorrow. Yet those who have been through sad experience have come up against places where they find the use of these cards very helpful. - It is not ' from any feeling of conventional politeness that a man is impelled to visit a newspaper office and insert a card of thanks. He has been through the evperi ence of a distressing loss, is upset with grief, and burdened by the many things that have to be done at such a time. A great number of friends and neighbors have done acts of kindness and offered sympathy. He wants to recognize all this friendly spirit, but finds it difficult to do so. He might sit down and write letters to every one. But few people havn time fir that. Many persons write letters with great difficulty Some people have printed or engraved cards distributed, which is thoroughly appropriate. Yet there is always the likelihood that some people would be unintentionally omitted. . . It is a simple and appropriate thing, in such cases, for a family to resort to the newspaper card, in which they can make their gratitude clear to all their friends. Thus tbey relieve themselves of a heavy burden in a time of strain, and show that appreciation which every one feels on receiving kindly acts. . Newspaper people have helped great numbers of bereaved families to formulate these notices, and are giad to offer their services to put the' same into shape. They should do it, not as a mere item in a day's business like taking in a want ad. but with some feeling that they are helping in the exchange of human sympathy, and doing a bit to relieve the suffering of the world. -Lafayette Journal.

HERE'S THE LATEST. NBvr YORK. Aug. 23.--Already tbe country's foremost dancing masters are ready to offer a new step or a series of them to take the place, of the discarded shimmy. It is to bo known as the Internationale because it contains stepR representing all of the allied nations. "The Internationale is quite simple. " as Oscar Duryea dmonslrated cd it and above ail fs moral. "You see, just take two steps forward, then three quick balancing: steps, left foot to the right, right to left and loft to right. Then step :o Ibe left side with tb' right foot and click the hoels together. Thftt is army taps. Repeat the ssme to the left s.ide. That is navy taps. Then two steps, military in effect, to th right angle forward. That is the military dash of France. "Put in a few recognized ariations and you have the Internationale."
