But while I have always lived, moved and had my being under con

thfnk of it, I hnve never seen a majority, while everywhere about UJ
is the largo, active and exceedingly vocal and assertive minority.
The majority of the people in the United States believe in our pres
ent form of government, yet I never met a man in my life that did not
think he could improve it.
The majority are sound and well, but did you ever run across a well

Tho majority are sane, yet have you ever found one man indu- 4

Tho fact of the matter is that the average man is a myth; he 1

London Police Use
Most Gentle Methods
By Hugh Gardiner, London, England
erate men, and yet they carry their point and uphold the law in a thon
sand cases, when the bluecoats in tho United States would deem it neces
sary to use their clubs.
Instead of haling a very drunken man to the station, one of out
bobbies will call a cab, if the inebriated one is at all gentlemanly looking,
and send him to his home or hotel.
No drunken man is ever' harshly dealt with in Ixmdon, provided only
that he will keep on moving. If he stops and obstruct the street the
police will coax him to move on, and they do this without the brutality
that I've seen used in American cities.
I have seen in my country a stalwart policeman allow a disorderly
chap to rain blows on his body without showing the least anger, or resort
ing to violent tactics. This may bo going to the other extrenw, but X
prefer it to clubbing.
The reluctance of the London police to tise severe measures is espe
ciailly noted in the case of women. In London a woman has to do some
thing desperate before she will be taken in charge.

Many Miles Covered
by Merry Dancers
By C H. KETTNER, Su Louia
faster immediately a dance is starte'd and the heart has a little more work
to do. There is, therefore, greater need for fresh air, to the end that the
blood passing through the lungs may be properly oxygenated.
Sixteen numbers, such ns Hpicnr on the cards ut "hops," carry the
dancers over a greater distunce in actual miles than soldiers parade on
Memorial day. Tour dances are equal to a drill night in the armory.
In Dundee, Scotland, where the Caledonians are enthusiastic devo
tees of the dance, a statistician counted the steps in a doen different kind
of dances. As a result it is shown that an average waltz takes a dancer
over about three-quarters of a mile; a square dance makes him cover
half mile. A girl with a well-filled program travels thus in one evening:
Twelve waltzes, nine miles; four oilier dances at half a mile each, two
miles; the interval strolls nud trips to the dressing room, half a mile;
total, eleven and a half miles.
Education of Ameri
can Girl Is Defective
By PROF. W. C DEFOREST
Uwraatr oi Ctliioraia
There is no reason why every housewife in this good land ehould not
bake her own bread, and this would make the public absolutely indepen
dent. It would also bring the bukers to time and the loaf that weighed
less than the standard would soon be known no more forever.
The education of the American girl is woefully defective, if it doe
not include knowledge of bread making.
One rightly made home loaf is worth any two that ever came out of
a bakery. I am talking from intimate knowledge of the subject, and the
commercial bread could not find a place on nvy table, even if it were
donation.
