Glaring Headlights

The greatest menace to pedestrians and automobiles at night is a glaring headlight. Fortunately no calamities have taken place in Richmond, but this condition is no safeguard for the future. At Lancaster, Ohio, one night last week, a glaring headlight caused an automobilist to crash into a telegraph pole, killing a young man outright. Carrying these glaring headlights is not only insolent and unlawful, but also a murderous practice. The full weight of the law must be directed against drivers of these machines to bring them to time.

Common Courtesy Some days ago we stepped into one of our leading dry goods stores and, with eyes open for

observation, having been cited to the fact that

some of the clerks in this establishment (and they are no different in other places) were deficient in courtesy demanded of good salesmen and salesladies. ; On the particular occasion referred to, we j were led to believe that the complaints were well founded. On entering the store, we observed a woman, wife of one of our well known laboring men, looking over the goods displayed on the counter in a certain department with the evident intention of buying, while the clerk stood indifferent, and apparently with no outward desire of selling the woman anything, or even displaying any effort in helping the woman to select that which she evidently desired and was undecided in the selection. In fact the clerk stood with a va

cant stare toward another part of the room as if her mind was wandering after the ghosts of departed saints. While Woman No. 1 was still standing at the counter trying to select from the few bolts of goods, her purchase, Woman To. 2 entered and advanced to the same counter. At once the clerk assumed a patronizing air, deserted the first customer and with all the grace of a perfect clerk began to show Mrs. No. 2 bolt after bolt that was for sale in this department. We could not help noticing the difference in the attitude of the clerk toward the two customers, and we began to reason for a cause. Mrs. No. 1, as was stated, was the wife of a laboring man, Mrs. No. 2 was the wife of a well-to-do citizen. The question now arises: Was not the money of Mrs. No. 1 just as good to the proprietor of the store as that of Mrs. No. 2 ? Ought social environment make any difference to the "hired servant" of any store? Should not common courtesy be extended to the lowly as well as to a member of "society?" The answers to these questions are obvious to people of high ideals, yet possibly there might be some excuse for the treatment extended by the one behind the counter, but to one not on the inside, it looked like an act of wilful neglect an effort to snub the one, and open endeavor to fraternize with the other, both attitudes having a tendency to breed contempt toward the clerk in

both customer's minds.

This attitude of a clerk toward customers

would lead one to believe that the clerk was de

f icient in the art of true salesmanship, and also a lack in one of the most essential elements of the

craft that of innate politeness, for Mrs. No. 1

deserved just as much consideration and atten

tion as did Mrs. No. 2. Hence we came to the conclusion that in this special case at least, there is a necessity of continuing the classes in salesmanship in our common schools that was inaugurated last winter and which was under the supervision of one of our leading dry goods men. If we remember rightly, this supervisor in his lectures was very explicit in his application of this one element of true salesmanship common courtesy, for, if the reports were correct the lecture did not forget to impress this upon his qjass every night, or in all of his twelve lectures. Do not take that all the clerks in the city are of the same kind, but it is evident that there are quite a few from the complaints registered, and it would be well if the proprietors would take a day off and find them out.

TAKE IT IN TIME

Read the Story In the Palladium nd See It at the Palace , It was not until his restless master discovered the telephone wires to be 'dead, and went, storming through the house to determine the reason for this : misadventure, that Wrench realized his chance had come. Slipping Into the deserted library on the pretext of adjusting the rugs, he stopped before the rosewood table, hesitated a mo,xnent, and then lifted the heavily, chased lid of Golden's cigar case and dropped the note inside. A moment later he had left the room, unobserved and unsuspected. ; It did not take many minutes of Iwaltlng to confirm the wisdom of (Wrench's movement For Enoch Golden, striding restlessly back Into his library, sank with a sigh of weariness Into the armchair beside the rosewood table. For a moment or two he stared abstractedly and unhappily about him. Then, with still another sigh, he reached out and lifted the heavilychased lid of silver. His fingers. Instead of coming in contact with a perfecto corseted in gold, rustled against

a sheet of paper. Automatically he picked it up and unfolded it Written on that mysterious sheet he found the following: "To fight me further tn this It useless. And unlets you open your eyes to thlt fact It will toon be worse than utelets. It will be fatal. I repeat that I want your half of that chart. If you want your daughter to live, want her tent back to you, take that chart to the twenty-fourth floor of the Central Tower building, within the next hour, and hand It to the man In the black ulster who will be waiting there. No trickery can tucceed. And thit It your last chancel JULES LEGAR." Silently the beaten man stared down at this strango missive. Slowly as he did so, tho last of his once iron will melted away. He roso heavily from his chair and crossed to the vault. From this vault he took the map, the time-yellowed square of manllla about which so many of the sorrows and troubles of all hl3 life seemed to revolve. Then, calling for his hat and coat and ordering a

car, he tremblingly made ready for hi3 midnight visit of capitulation to the Central Tower building. Whilo these events were taking place, however, there was one member of the Golden household who remained far from inactive. When David Manley so abruptly left a tranquil bungalow at Cedarton and so stealthily pushed his way through the shrubbery surrounding that bungalow, it was because he had made the sudden discovery that Legar himself was in the neighborhood. Nor was it hard for him to guest the reason for that master-criminal's invasion of those sequestered grounds. And Manley, promptly deciding to stalk the stalker himself, was rewarded by overhearing enough of Legar't plans, as the latter hurriedly Issuod his instructions to two of his

confederates near the roadside, to

realise tfco nocercity of at once set

ting in touch witn fnocn ' ooiden. Whatever happened, be felt, it was his duty to warn Margery's father that Legar himself had acknowledged his ignorance of the girl's whereabouts and had expressed his intention of tricking the chart out of its present owner's hands. Ten minutes of frantic efforts at a telephone booth in the nearby village, however, convinced Manley of the impossibility of getting in touch with Golden by wire. Stanley's first thought, in his dilemma, was to commandeer some nearby car. Yet nothing but a racer, he remembered as he snatched out his watch, could get him to the Central Tower building in time. His next thought, however, took him tearing down the village street like a madman. For the name of "Cedarton" had brought into his mind yet another name, the name of "Bobby Evart." And Bobby Evart, who bad his workshop and hangar on the southerly outskirts of that village, had been the first of the Racquet club members to forsake automobiles for aviation, and startle Long Island by his early morning hydroplane maneuvers over suburban golf courses and country homes. He had been the first civilian volunteer for the federal air scouts and at San Diego had twice broken his own altitude record established at Pensacola, and was now Immured in the mysterious task of fashioning a stabilizer for monoplanes, a stabilizer, Manley remembered, which was receiving sym

pathetic attention from certain navy

officials in Washington. Instead of finding this tame in

trepid Bobby poring over blue prints

of stabilizer parts, however, the breath

less Manley found his old-time friend

in a rattan club chair tranquilly play

ing chess with his maiden aunt In two minutes the breathless newcomer

had explained to the somewhat ased young chess player a situation which brought a brighter light into the latter's boyish eyes. The point is," cried Manley, "could you get me there. Could you make a landing at night?" They were already on their feet again, running for the hangar.

"Yes. I can get you there! But what have we got to make a landing on?" "The main building of the Central tower stops at the eighteenth story. That gives us a flat roof of several hundred yards. Could you make it on that?" "Not unless it was lighted!" explained Evart, shouting for hit mechanician as he rounded the gloomy corner of the hangar itaelf. "But it it lighted." Manley told him. "It gets the light from the tower itself, and the whole cornice line it strung with electrics, the tame as the Singer building!" Evart's finger, touching a button, threw a white flood across the vaulted roof of the building. A touch on another button sent the great doors swincinz open. Manley looked at his

watch. Then he shook hjp head. . ;

"It's too late," he -proclaimed, nut Evart and his mechanician were already at work on the wide-winged monstrosity nested under its metal roof like a pterodactyl in a cave. "Get aboard," commanded Evart. "We're going to try for it anyway!" He turned to his helper. "Hey, Brown, throw my friend up that fur coat of yours!" "But what speed can you get out of this machine?" asked Manley as he clambered aboard the chassis and struggled with his seat-straps. Evart, who had been stooping over his engines, looked up. "I got one hundred and four an hour out of her this morning," he off-hand-edly announced. "But I think I can push her up to one hundred and ten." Manley's heart beat faster. "Then there's a chance!" he cried. "A fighting chance." A sudden sense of chill caused Manley to clutch for the fur coat thrown In at his feet, and struggle Into it As he did so the earth seemed suddenly to fall away from him. Villages became spangled checker-boards of lights. Highways became winding

strings of pearls. Manley forgot the chilliness striking Into his bones. He forgot Margery Golden and Legar. He forgot the origin of his mission that brought him winging through the midnight heavens. He forgot the fact of his own

puny existence and the trivial ends to which it had been given over. All these he forgot, completely and utterly, nntil Evart, sweeping out along the twinkling shore lights of South Brooklyn, circled north again where the brazen figure of Liberty guarded the upper bay, and dropped lower along that tapering point of gloom where Battery park-nosed like a ship's prow into the tides of the Atlantic. They were still planing down, gently, like a settling sea bird, with the tilted planes veering a little westward to escape the beetling skyscrapers along the canyon of lower Broadway. Manley thought, for a moment, that Evart had misjudged his position. Then he felt sure that Evart had also misjudged his height,-that his stabilizing fin was already too low to clear the flat roof that abutted the lightstrewn tower itself. But Evart, obviously, knew what he was about For he took that oblong of flat gloom outlined in electrics with a gentle upward undulation like the upward swoop of a bluebird alighting on a maple tree. Into that artful upward swoop was absorbed much of their momentum, for Evart had plainly remembered that their running space was limited. But even with this precaution there remained a perilous paucity of runway, for before the bounding and quivering organism of

nickel and steel and canvas came to a stop it lurched head-on into a wall of the tower itself, ' ",. To Be Continued.
