Wlth the excepfiun of its plcturesque situ- ation among mountalns, its aloofness and its surrounding gardens, She-; ‘shawan presents no very particular features. Its fohabitants are poor. Thelr in- dustries are the making of furniture | —and the weaving of woolen stuffs. ‘They are renowned for their mean- ness, .and a native proverb states: “If you see a Moslem merchant from Fez weeplng, it i» only a Moor of She- shawan who could have got the bet- ter of him.” PARODIES ALWAYS IN ORDER | Omar ‘Khayyam lnd the Ever-Delight- < i ful Pepys Have by No Means Ex- hausted the List. Does your memory go back to the time when everyone was writing par- | odies of the Rubaiyat of Omar Kbay- yam? When it was considered very literary to know-all about Omar, and | when all the writers, both would-be | and - prafessional, were reducing the lypnotic guatrains to modern terms? The newspapers were full of “Omars Up-to-date,” and quite a lot of them zot into the magazines before the craze | dled’ down. After that parodists sought other |¥ inspiration, but found no material that suite@ them quite #o well, until a few yenrs ago, one of them chanced on the Diary of Samuel Pepys. What a rich vein.. The parodists went mad over it, and have been digging there ever since. - Almost anybody can fill up a column with chronicles in the Pepys | stylé, ‘while 'the clever writer, by this means, can make himself entertaining. | Some other original genius will sooun take the place of Mr. Pepys in the re- gard. of the copylsts, for the popular- g ity of the creative masters of litera- | ture is more or less changeful, de- | penilent upon time or circumstances, while the .work.of the parodist goes on forever,~Ohio State Journal. British Warship Badges. " The British admiralty has decided to provide every British warship In | future with its own distinctive badge. These are being designed by Maj. Charles’ Fonlkes, heraldic adviser to the ‘admiralty, who has already In- vented 160 badges. Considerable in- genuity has been exercised, as the'! . following examples will show: turous, two dice; Sportive, a butting | Ven- goat; Tactician, a chess knight; In- constant, a butterfly; Sesame, a key; Sterling, £; Watchful, an eye; Viva- clous, head of Mr. Lloyd George; Ter- magant,.a fury; Nile, head of Nelson; Tfuculent, Britisher smashing a Hun. Each badge will be carved in wood | nnd ‘then cast in brass, colored, and | fitted on the quarterdeck, as well as on either bow of the boat. Two plaques are to be used, the emaller one for the boats being about eight | inches square, and the one for the quarterdeck about 18 inches square. Each badge s designed fo soine way to represent the name of the boat plc- torially, or when that is impossible, | embodylng some _device , connected | with its history. The desigus*will be used also on note paper, and probably on the brass muzsle-caps of znns. which are privately bought by omurl of battleships. Flat Fest Treatment Successfub ‘War experiences have changed our views about flat feet. It was at one ' time assumed that individuals so af- | flicted were destined to lead sedentary lives, and that they were disqualified from partaking in vocations requiring the constant use of the feet, such as military service. This erroneous idea is still universal in Europe and to a large extent in America. It is in| weak feet that the bones of the arch | drep to the ground, the muscles and | ligaments being so weak and flabby | that they cannot hold up the nrch bones. After a serles of treatments In_the most chronic cases, the pro- | early lspsed bones will gradually rise until | they reach their normal helght. “Fllwtr” Alrplanes, From time to time a photograph ap- pears, depleting a new alrplane of com- | Last-Minute Bargains., | Wishing 'you a Merry| generdlly hailed as “‘everybody’s” eir- | pact dimensions and equipped with a | low-power engine. Such nlrphnu are | plane and the coming “flivvers” of the | . air, Yet an examination of these ma- | chines soon discloses the fact that they are of little practical value. They ! are too small to be steady in flight, ' too low-powered to fly under moder- ately adverse conditions, too flimsy to last long and, taking it all in all, ab- any kind:.
