Perhaps It does; few of as have enough of It to And out certainly. On the other hand, other authorities declare that ‘politeness pays,’ a dictum that has nothing to do with pride or leisure. Probably nobody la more Interested In making things pay than the busy man. That’s the principal reason why he keeps busy. Apprehension also has a considerable InAuence on politeness. If discourtesy is likely to * get us Into trouble, the probabilities are that we shall be polite; but; per haps this aspect of the question Is included In the assertion that polite ness pays. “Whether It Is pride, leisure or ac quisitiveness that develops polite ness, there Is none too much of it. Sometimes we are impolite through ignorance, sometimes through care lessness, sometimes intentionally, sometimes because we are in a hurry knd sometimes because we won’t bother about' It With all that, the question of what constitutes polite ness still remains. As in the case of a great many other words, the deAnltton is likely to vary a great deal both geographically and chrono- logically. Politeness here may not be politeness there, and politeness now may hot have been politeness then. Hence the wail *0 tempora, O mores!’ Times and things and people are not what they once were, or what we are convinced they were long an we do not examine the records carefully. “Politeness, of course, should mean well, bat much of It merely says well or does well; It sounds well and looks wett # Trot%' Dttte analysts w show that It does not mean anything.

So perhaps It Is well not to be too ex acting In regard to what constitutes politeness."—Indianapolis News.

SMding into the tuny at these tart Iflc the car to the track except the tire. \ Mile after mile, lap after lap, greater and greater beet and increased centrifugal force developed to separate the tread from the body of the tire. Every conceivable force known was working to tear the tires to pieces—yet Firestone High Speed Tires, with Gum-Dipped High S»—nth Cords, withstood this most grnellttig test. Thirty-three demons of speed—thirty-three ears equipped with Firestone High Speed Three—ell protected by Gum-Dipped High Stretch Cord*—entered the Annual Speed Classic. Every tire was bought by the driver or owneF of the car. In all the heat—in all the grinding—in aU the straining and palling—not one cotton strand loosened—net one life was jendangOred by tire failure—not one car was forced out of the race by tire trouble. Six of the winners finished without a tiro change. What a tribute to the Extra Strength —Safety and Durability built into Firestone High Speed Tires.
