mit. CATO NINETAILS TALKS ABOUT TACT And Incidentally an Event - of Golden Youth. ~ “It 1s all very tactful, of course, to know what to say or do, and be able to say or to do it,” said Mr. Cato Ninetails; “but it seems to me that much more {s accomplished in the way of keeping the peace by knowing what net to suy or to do and being able not to say or to do it—and-that is no easy task. Yielding to the temptation to say what seems to be effective has caused a good deal’ of hard feeling, not a few fist fights and some wars, . “Some people get so much satisfaction fromw exercising their critical and controversial abilities that they seem to be williu~ to cause any amount of unpleasantn.ss for. the privilege and even prefer a reputation for smartness to a reputation for courtesy. On the other hand, there are the blunderers, who mean better than they say, and suffer from their gaucheries more than the victims of them. They, of course, are never so offensive as the people who are intentionally rude, though they are sometimes quite as entertaining to disinterested auditors. : “As tactlessness may be the effect of either intention or ineptitude, and as tact is something in the nature of a. talent, a good many more people say and do wrongly than say and do rightly. There are, of course, times when it is tactless to say or do nothing, but it is much less disturbing than to say or do the wrong thing. When I was quite a young man there was for a brief season a fashion that required the trousers to be worn very tight. 'Among my friends of about my own age was one, generally known as Slim, who seemed to have been born for tavalry service. Slim believed in fashion, and followed it to the limit. Thus it was that he appeared in a pair of trousers that were apparently skin . tight. ‘Slim, I said, the first time I saw him In them, ‘you look like a pair of calipers.”’ The comparison was not original with me or, indeed of recent origin, and I bhad no jdea that he was so sensitive, but—well, the spectators said that it was quite entertaining before they got us apart. . “We made it up afterward, and bave been good friends ever since. The other day I saw him at the barber shop. ‘Well, he said, with a rather reminiscent air, ‘your mnose never grew quite straight agaln, did 1t? ‘No’ T agreed, touched, myself, somewhat with the charm of remipiscence : ‘and 1 see that you are still wearing two of your incisors on a bridge’ ‘Ah; he exclaimed, heartily, ‘those were the golden days!'”—lndianapoils News. :

New Source of Rubber | The Madagascar rubber vine, with which Edison is experimenting as a possible source of tires, is-a relative of the commen milkweeds, according to Dr. 0. F. Cook, senlor botanist of the United States Department of Agriculture. About 4 per cent of the total weight of the plant is rubber, and the product as exported from Madagascar has been regarded as of good quality, though not equal to the rubber of the Brazilian hevea tree. The lower quality, however, may possibly be due to the primitive methods now used in obtaining the Madagascar rubber, and more scientific chemical treatment may serve to remedy this. Though no serious efforts have hither. to been made to exploit the vine commercially, it is knewn that it will grow freely in southern Florida, and efforts fo extend its range northward into the regions of occasional frosts will be followed with interest. Tha vine ‘belongs to the genus known to botanists as cryptostegia. : ‘ A Bad Light Publisher George Doran was cons demning the piracy, or theft, of non. copyrighted books. . = ~ “Theft is theft,” said Mr. Doran, “whether lt'{ legal or not. Our book thieves are very glib with their pleag and excuses, but, after all, they don’t show up in a very goed light, do they} They're rather like the married man, aren’t they? : “A shameless married man, in the voluptuous moonlight of Coral Gables, tried to kiss a girl under a date-palm, but she pushed him off indignantly. “ ‘How dare you?” she hissed. 3‘How dare you try to kiss me? Only thig afternoon I saw you kissing your wife, and I heard you tell her she was all the world to you.’ “‘Yes, that's right, hon’ And thg married man laughed shamelessly, ‘But there are two worlds, see? Wifq is the old world, you are the ne’w,"’

Power From the Sea By utilizing the difference of temperatuare between the ever-tepid wa ters of tropical seas and the alwayy cold submarine waters, two French scientists claim to have discovered & method of obtaining power from thg sea. : ‘ They claim to have accomplished i by boiling the tepid surface water in vacuum.
