Likes and Dislikes. Why do you like some people, merely | | tolerate some, secretly dislike some, and | | openly express contempt for still other | people? | Intelligence and reason have little to do with human relations, outside of strictly economic considerations. Prejudices, old and new, are the usual | generators of affinities and antipathies. |” For example, the very name alone |ofton determines one's initial attitude toward a stronger. If a child incurs |a dislike for the X family, living in its neighborhood, then all the X's he meets during the rest of his life are | likely to share that childish antipathy. An “old” prejudice often blocks the road to many social contacts. But there is still another prejudice, ever “old” in origin, ever “new” in its operation. T refer to the sensitive “sense of self,” which every human being cherishes in the interest of self-pride and self-preservation. If a new acquaintance says or does something that enlarges your sense of self, you immediately conclude that that person is likable. To put it another | way, you like those who are clever | enough to guess your unconsious weak- ness and to transform it into apparent strength. This is a social trait which in its universal application is possessed by very few persons—those who are universally loved and admired. h:‘ your sense of self is deflated in it | 18, presence of an acquaintance—that person. So if you trace your likes and dislikes |among your uaintances to their | origin, you will d your sense of self or pure ego at the end of the trail. (Copyright, 1930.)

NANCY PAGE Fresh Asparagus Is Good, No Matter How Prepared. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Cold days of Winter, rainy days of April are worth living through when one remembers that May brings fresh green vegetables. ‘This was running through Nancy's mind as she went to market. As she had hoped, there was a goodly supply of fresh asparagus. ‘That was the vegetable for her own lunch and for dinner that evening. She chose bunches with stalks about as thick as her middle finger, By dig- ging her thumb nail into the stalk about 2 inches from the cut end she was able to determine by the ease with which it went in just how tender the stalks would be. & At home she cut off the woody part just below the point where her sl ring knife cut through the s easily. These rejected parts were peeled and cooled, put through sieve and used for asparagus soup. For lunch she had whole stalks whieh had been steamed until tender. With them she served Hollandaise sauce. For_the evennig meal she cut stalks into 2-inch pieces. She reserved the heads and put them in boiling, salted water after the remainder of stalks had been cooking for 10 minutes. This method kept heads from overcooking. Bhe used little enough water so that it was practically absorbed when vege- table was tender. Over the cooked as- paragus she poured a little hot cream, added salt and pepper to taste, Crusty dinner rolls had been hollowed, buttered and toasted lightly.

DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) Great Fighters Hannibal Took Poison Rather Than Give Triumph. BY J. P. GLASS. “THE SOLDIERS FOUND ONLY HIS LIFELESS BODY.” Hannibal's last gesture against Rome had been to give his services to Anti- ochus, King of Syria, one of the suc- cessors of Alexander the Great. Antiochus, angered because Rome had successfully invaded Macedonia, set off with a great army to battle the Romans, disdaining the advice of Hannibal that he form an alli of Macedon! “Are mnot enough for the Ro- mans?” he ed, pointing to his great array of soldiers. “Yes,” replied Hannibal, sarcastically, “enough for Romans, however greedy they may be.” The Romans defeated Antiochus easily. They demanded that he turn over Hannibal to them. Antiochus agreed. In his days of glory Hannibal had performed the immortal feat of crossing the Alps with an army. For 15 years he had maintained himself in Italy, and at Cannae he had inflicted the most disastrous defeat ever met by Roman arms. Called back to Carthage to de- fend it from a Roman army under Sciplo, he had lost disastrously because he had had to use raw troops against Scipio’s veteran legions. But that vic- tory did not suffice to erase Rome's memory of previous defeats. Knowing that death might well be his portion if Antiochus surrendered him, Hannibal contrived to flee to Bithynia, where King Prusias gave him haven for the next five years. Roman vengeance would not let him remain at peace. A demand for Han- nibal's surrender was sent to Prusias. Unable to resist, he agreed to it. For years Hannibal had worn on his finger a ring containing deadly poison. It was his last resource against capture by his great enemy. en Now news came to him that Prusias had forsaken him, he turned the ring on his finger, considering. “Is there, then, no other escape?” he thought. Hearing heavy footsteps in the avenue fance with Philip, King | poi: approaching his house, he looked out. guards of Prusias had marched into the street and were surrounding the place on all sides. “Why try to live longer?” asked Han. nibal. "“I'am in my sixty-fourth year, and life holds nothing more of promise for me, even if I am able to flee away.” He took off the ring to release the n. son. “Death s tenfold more to be pre- ferred than to figure in & Roman tri- \mwh " he told himself, ith a renunciatory gesturs he swal- lowed the poison. The soldiers of Prusias, entering his mansion to take him away, found only his lifeless body. (Copyright. 1980.)

OLDEN TIMES It is not strange that Shakespeare wrote such triumphs of the pen, for modern schemes to get man’s goat were not existing then. He could sit down, in peace, alone, to write a deathless play, and none would call him on the phone and keep it up all day. There was no radio next door to bellow tin- horn songs, and make his jaded spirit sore while brooding o'er his wrongs. No phonographs were grinding late, on records loud or soft, stale records he had learned to hate, from hearing them 8o oft. No car went honking past his door with noise enough for ten, and so he sat upon the floor and plied his gift- ed pen. No agents to his window came to sell him bonds and stocks, or to ex- plain some giddy game that would bring in the rocks. The interruptions William knew were trifling, I suppose; the hun- gry flles around him flew and bit him on the nose. He longed for an electric fan when sweat rolled by the quart, but no one then had tried to plan a dingus of that sort. Refrigeration had not yet put microbes on the blink; the cistern was the one.best bet when he would have a drink. He had his troubles, one may say, when he sat down to write; but there was quiet all the day and twice as much at night. And if he stepped outside the door, to look for signs of nm,mphomnplwn. some six or four, caused him no grievous pain. He was not asked to write his name in forty million books, to play the auto- graphic game for tourists hunting nooks.

Of course, Danny and Nanny would never have thought of building a home in that tin can up in a tree had it not | been for two or three things.
