A courteous ethciency. When the modern world is convulsed with the application of energy to speed; when countless sta- Te tisticians are employed by gigantic corporations to ascertain how fast the average man can work with- out lessening his productive power; when efficiency er is beinmeasured in terms of "how slow' 'or "how fast," what part has courtesy in our civilization? econd We canont shift our world back to the days of chivalry. Knights-errant and ladies walk no more, while the doffed plume of the veiled face are gone forever. Yet, after all, that was only formal cour- ces of tesy. Courtesy still thrives although often uncul- atte tivated.

How far does courtesy go toward increasing a man's ability to perform? Is courtesy a quality that tends toward efficiency? The answer is unmistaka- bly yes. 'The most-successful people are selfless people.; Against the,'crowds of humanity that clamor for consideration-and special considera- tion-the gfeat man stands undainted with a sur- plus of good humor. The factory where employes \ are most courteous is usually one of the most effi- cient plants that can be found. . Courtesy creates a mental condition whch tends, at least, toward success. Courtesy takes time, but a very little time. Could not enough speed be sacrificed to permit courtesy everywhere? That was the individual's question. -The Michigan Wolverine. Why the Canoe Upset He (poetically inclined)-Surely you remember "Horatious at the Bridge?" She-No, I can't say I do. I 've met so many men while boating on phe Huron that I can't quite~ place him.

I have a girl friend whom I do not care for and yet who fairly dotes on me. What would you advise? Worried. The only thing I can suggest is for you to ad-' minsteran antiote. . LESSON III ln L'How to Be Witty Tho' in Love" It is presumed by this time that you have thor- oughly mastered the two previous lessons before proceeding with this one. This lesson is especially useful in case your old girl has given you what is known in vulgar parlance.as "the mitt." This fact, however, will probably only add to your popularity with the other girls sin'ce anything that looks cheap or marked down will inevitably appeal to their in- nate bargain-hinting instinct. Accordingly you remark to the new object of your affections, "Yes, it's all off between Mary and me. She returned to me all the presents I have given her." Your subtle application of the term "poor" to Mary 'implies that Mary is the real loser and is more to be pitied than censored. .The young lady, feigning a casual,manner in order to conceal. her breathless interest, asks, "And what did you dIo then ?" Assuming n tone of righteous anger (a sort of Father-];-cannot-tell-a-lie Mflection) you reply, "Why, I sent her back six boxes. of face powder as I figured that I tad taken that much home vyith me on my coat." The girl perceives at once that you are one to be trusted, a man who would not even steal a kiss without returning it, and at the saine time it clearly shows that you have a military spirit since you are not afraid of the smell of powder. Stude-Can't I get off ,this afternoon. My girl wants me to take her into Detroit. Prof.-No. sir, you cannot. Stude - (fervently)-Thank you, sir. You are very kind.
