Show Labor-SavIng Impoliteness. , We wish some record had been preserved pre-served of tho time saved by changing from the old-fashioned profound Inclination In-clination of the head toward the earth perhaps Itself a labor-saving Improvement Im-provement on an earlier ceremonial of greeting In which tho forehead was brought, oriental fashion, in actual contact with tho floor to tho modern hrlsk nod. Wo wish there wore statistics sta-tistics to show bow much tinio mankind man-kind has gained In cutting courtesy down from paragraphs to grunts. We doubt whether all tho vaunted economies econo-mies at labor-saving machinery have oqualed those of labor-saving impoliteness. |
