WOMAN'S PAGE.} FAMOUS WITS OF HISTORY Bismarck Jested Brilliantly While Settling Fate of Nations. BY J. P. GLASS. Tut! Look ATME. | AM MUCH oLDER (@8 THAN YOU, N AAmsTiL ABLE T» Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of Germany, founded the empire to the running fire of his own witty com- ments and observations. As a master of retort he was fully up to himself as a master of statecraft, Even the French admired his wit, though they Were sometimes the victims of it. After conquering Paris in the Franco- Prussian war _of 1870-71, Bismarck treated with Louis Thiers, who was chosen the first President of the third republic, regarding the city’s war con- tribution, “At what figure do you intend to fix it?” asked Thiers. “Ah,” replied Bismarck, “a city as wealthy as Parls would feel ftself in- sulted if I demanded less than a mil- liard francs in gold.” Of course the chancellor did not ex- pect such a sum. Two hundred mil- lion was agreed upon. Returning to Germany in his citizen clothes, the head waiter in a restaurant scarcely recognized him. “Ja, mein lieber,” observed Bismarck, “it was with the French as with you— they only recognized us with our uni- forms on.” He had no very high opinion of the beauty of French women, which has by many others been highly praised. “I don’t remember ever having seen 8 pretty country girl in France, but plenty of ugly ones,” he said. “Any few beauties there may be, go to Paris to find their market.” In his old age, he naturally was the center of attention from following crowds when he went out walking. “I have ceased to be an individual, and have become an event,” said Bis- marck, MENU FOR A DAY.

Cook until tender. 0Old age brought weakness and phy- sical suffering. Frequently he com- plained to the emperor, William I, of Prussia before the empire. “Tut!” said his majesty one day, “Look at me. I am much older than you, Bismarck, and yet I am still able to ride.” “Ah, yes” replied the chancellor, “but then your majesty must remember that a rider always lasts longer than his_horre.” Describing the legistlative bodies at Berlin, he once said that the Reichstag (imperial Parliament) had a higher tone than the Landtag (Prussian Parli- ment). He added: “The Lower Chamber of the Landtag can drink champagne, but cannot pay for it; the Upper Chamber can pay for it, but cannot drink it; but the Reich- stag can both drink and pay for it.” At Kissingen, a Bavarian watering place, Bismarck was slightly wounded by an assassin. At dinner he observed Jovially: “This affair is not part of my pre- scribed treatment, but it is what a man of my profession must expect.” He called universal suffrage “govern- ment_of a house by its nursery,” but added, “you can do anything with chil- dren if you play with them.” Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Mechanism. The body is & machine. The mind is 2 machine, They are both parts of the same machine—a body—mind machine, These statements are hard to believe. Chiefly 80, because we all possess the prejudiced notion that mind and body are two separate things. ‘The mind is the most intricate and complicated part of the body. We see the body. We cannot see the mind. And so we draw a distinction between the seen and the unseen. By all the laws of common-sense logic, we come the conclusion that somehow, mind is one thing, body another. Perhaps the best way to get a picture of the body-mind mechanism is to con- sider what happens immediately after the body-mind has been at rest. ‘When you get up in the morning you are actually s little taller than you were when you went to sleep. The muscles, state of relaxation. The body as an state of relaxation. " The body an an assembled machine has undergone & drawing apart. Your first steps are likely to be somewhat faltering. In the case of a long confinement in bed by reason of illness you actually have to “learn to walk,” even though you make allowance for a general debility due to the lack of exercise. You begin to walk as usual when the bodily parts for what is called the mind—the part that is known only in terms of the unob- servable mechanisms, called ideas, thoughts, memories, images, etc. During a period of relaxation your attention ceases to be focused. Your thoughts are disjoined. Dreams prove this. You flit mentally from one dream image to another. e reason for all this may be that the extremely dzll% disjointment. In other visible parts of the mind are behaving like the bones, muscles and ligaments. That is the reason why, quite often, when you awaken you fail to realize where you are. You regain full and complete consclousness only when the brain cells are again properly joined. (Copyright, 1929, THE EVENING Lessons in English BY W. L.

Something really new and very pleasing has come to us in the way of hand-blocked linen shade cloth, in floral designs. Aside from the lovely color- ings in which they come (green, blue, gray, vellow, peach or pink ground), this material is reversible, thus making the window decorative from the street as well as from the interior. Over such a window shade as this no glass curtains are necessary—they would, in fact, give the effect of keep- ing out the beautiful out-of-doo: draperies of a plain-colored fabric lend themselves to create a graceful window treatment. These shades are delightful for the Summer home or for Summer days in the city home, and they should be very carefully chosen so that they will have the appearance of being made especially for the room in which ‘hey are used. The overdraperies may be of plain chintz in a glazed or semi-glazed finish. ‘The color in which they are chosen will depend greatly upon the hues in the de- sign. It is pleasing to have the draperies match the predominating color of the flowers or leaves, which will make them in contrast to ound of the shade.

MOVIES AND HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,, May 16.—The little bird that prattles German about Hollywood tells me Prince Ferdinand has received a pointed cablegram. In cholcest German the message con- veyed the idea that Hollywood was no place for the son of a Hohenzollern to be idling about. Grandpa “Kaiser” has evidently read some of the red hot copy about the village of the famous. And i some of the rumors of the princeling's engagement to a movie beauty have crossed the Atlantic. Well, one thing sure, no prince will ever be lonely in movieland. The lean and lovely ladies have a penchant for )lees. And princes, mes enfants, rank igh. Next to a prince of the blood, the in- terest of a movie mogul is perhaps the most telling. I said this at luncheon today, with the following result: “Oh, Shah!" “That's Emir Pun!” “King's X, if you want to descend to such low wit.” “I'd khedive under the table if I were you—" And some even worse. Strange to say, & lot of ’em were famous. For mentality, I might add, not beauty. So I'll spare you their blushes.

Mustard stains on table linen may be eradicated if the article is boiled in water in which has been dissolved one teaspoonful of washing soda to each quart of water. The boiling should last as long as any trace of the spot remains, and should be followed by a thorough rinsing. P. 0, THURSDAY, MAY 16 the colony is that between Eleanor Boardman and Peggy Wood.

Mix thoroughly together three- fourths cupful of sugar, three table- spoonfuls of cornstarch, & pinch of salt, then thin to the consistency of cream with some of the hot milk. When the milk in the double boiler has bubbles all over the top, add about half a cupful to the sugar mixture, then turn it back into the milk, stirring constantly for a few minutes until it is smooth and thick. Cook for 15 minutes,. then turn it onto the beaten yolks of three eggs, cook for a minute longer, then add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Divide the mixture into three equal portions, turning the last into a baked pie shell. To one portion add two tablespoonfuls of melted chocolate and to the other one-third glassful of strawberry preserves and one-fourth cupful of rboken nut meats. Put the brown mixture over the yellow in the shell and the pink layer on top.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Liberty and Learning. Text: “Wisdom hath builded her home, she th hewn out her seven pillars.”—Prov., 1x.1. To have a free nation you must have an educated citizenship, for liberty can- not survive where the people are ig- norant. The guardian genius of lib- erty and democracy is the cultivated citizen. Realizing that liberty and learning must go hand in hand, the builders of America have always been vitally in- terested in education. Before the first white child born in America was 21 years old Harvard University had opened its doors to him. Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Columbia, Dart- mouth and the University of Pennsyl- vania are all older than the Nation itself. It was these institutions, found- ed by the ploneers of early American | history, that kindled the spirit of de- mocracy and freedom among the For Salads POMPEIAN PURE VIRGIN IMPORTED OLIVE OIL At All Good Stores 4 FEATURES,” 5 erican colonies, resulting finally in |tion and the preservation of our free the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the American Nation. Not only did liberty and learning go hand in hand in the early days of the Nation, along the Atlantic seaboard, but likewise they have gone side by side across the continenf to the Pacific, in building the individual commonwealths of the States which today constitute the American Republic. Throughout our intitutions, It shouid be remembered, however, that the learning liberty requires for its safeguarding is not merely education of the head, but education of the heart as well. Culture of the mind without cul- ture of the conscience does not afford an adequate basis for a permanent democracy. This fact has been well recognized in our educational program. entire history the conviction has ever | Failure to recognize it would be fatal been regnant that upon the diffusion of learning rests the liberty of the Na- to our freedom and democratic institu- tions.
