OF INTEREST TO FINDING OUT YOURSELF By BEATRICE FAIRFAX "Experience Is costly, as all of us can tell; We purchase it at retail— and then at wholesale sell." The tragedy of youth i. that it never profits by any experience Lave its own! The older generation tells Youth how its fingers were burned when It tried to pull chestnuts from the fire or how near it. came to drown ing when it skated on the thin ice —and Youth smiles intolerantly—and *ays: "Oh, yes, of course you had difficulty, but I should have man- Rged better in the same circum stances." Each of us has, as the Scotch say, to "dres his ain weird." This means, as we all know, that everybody has to go through with his own experi ences. A devoted mother says to her sick child, "I wish I could take the pain for you." But she can't—life doe 3 not permit that. And the greater tragedy is that, when sorrow and be reavement and trial and temptation come to that child grown up, the mother can neither bear the pain for it nor even tissure the child out of her own experience how best to meet the situation. We have all to find out for our selves. That is life. Those of us who are particularly clever can draw parallels from the experiences of others. Those of u3 who are wise and sane try to profit by experience. But most of us buy our own ex perience In the school of life—and learn too slowly even from this ex pensive shopping! I once knew a girl who was wooed and won by a man who fell In love with her at first sight and jilted the girl to whom he was engaged In order to become engaged to her. A fine soul might have considered the other girl's pain. A sane soul would surely have profited by the other girl's ex perience! The man who was false to one love when a new fancy attracted htm was equally false to the second CAMP CURTIN TRUST COMPANY Sixth and Maclay Streets Acts as Administrator of Estates; Executor, appointed by decedent, to carry out provisions of a will; Guardian of minor children.

The girl who had stolen another girl's lover suffered terribly when it came her turn to lose. But did she profit by that experience bought at a high price? Not at all. She went through precisely similar experiences twice more in her life—an actual wholesale of the expensive knowledge slie should have gained once and for all in the first place. The sum total of human experience teaches us that an habitual liar will lie whenever he feels the slightest need or excuse for it. Constant repetition of the same cir cumstances shows that a wantonly selfish person is bound to consider himself first under almost any condi tions. The coward generally acts like the craven he is. The extravagant wastrel seldom saves. The brute is al most invariably cruel. In the weakling there may be a flare of good. Your coward may, in a magnificent moment, sacrifice him self bravely, and the most selfish In dividual may be kind to some one. But in dealing with people it isn't safe to work on a basis of comfort able exceptions. To expect things from the world is to lay up tragic disap pointments for yourself. And experience ought to make us prepare to deal with rules rather than with exceptions. Idealizing people and situations against precedent and constant habit is going to lead to disappointment in ninety-nine cases out of any given hundred. And that is what costly experience ought to teach us before we permit ourselves to suffer over and over again tragedies which are similar or parallel, and which we ought to have been able to forecast from experiences in the past. If you don't learn by experience, don't whimp and whimper and rail at cruel fate. Instead, proceed to amend your stupidity and make an honest effort to sell your experience as dear as you purchase it.

LIFTING MAGNETS SIMPLIFY HANDLING OF RAILS Although it cannot yet be said to be general practice, lifting magnets are coming to be used at rolling mills to facilitate the handling of steel rails. In the past flat cars were usually load ed by either swinging the rails into position with a sling, or by skidding them, one at a time, from the piles. The latter way is obviously the slow est and requires more labor than either of the others. The advantage of employing magnets, which are more commonly used for handling pig iron, is that time is saved and the labor charges lessened. Rails are transferred In the same orderly man ner as when a sling is used, but with out requiring irons to be passed be neath them or chains fastened. ' A picture in the November Popular Me chanics Magazine shows the magnets in use loading rails. WEDDING AT RATTLING RUN Dauphin, Pa., Nov. 7.

Magee in a decision rendered by the Public Service Commission directing the making of new schedules for such transportation in the Pitts burgh district. The commissioner takes a position exactly the opposite from the Interstate Commerce Com mission. In recommending the new rules Commissioner Magee says: "These rules, extremely simple in form, give effect in their operation to all the principles of rate making ap plicable to this sort of consignment. They recognize the likeness the mixed carload bears to the straight carload from the viewpoint of cost of service and to the less t carload shipment from U<r> * lewnoin) of value of service.

Rules such as these could be intro duced In all the jobbing centers of the country without harm to the carriers and without undue discrimination to f.ny jobbing center or to any other class of shippers or kinds of ship ments. The highest public policy de mands the cheapest possible cost of food production and distribution. It should be the last kind of commodity upon which technical reasoning should be exercised; but on the contrary it should be the aim of all concerned in the food traffic to relax ordinary re strictions regardless of the causes dic tating their superior weight in other cares.
