Their Tongues Concealed Weapons.

MADISON, x. J., March 22.-Ed- ward l.. Cook. justice of the peace here and who has been the terror of automobilists for many years, has now decided that woman's tongue is a concealed weapon. Mrs. Parker made a complaint against Mrs. Eva Morse for calling her names. The justice tried to settle the case and after dis missing the complaint endeavored to make the women shake hands. It was then that they turned their tongues loose upon the justice. He did not look up the law. but made out con- plaint under the seventh section of the disorderly act, which relates to con cealed weapons, and fined them S10 each

yestisate the charges against Vice Presi-
dent James II. Hyde and other officials
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety.
According to one of the men familiar
with the situation the efforts of the sup
erintendent of insurance by no means
will be limited to an endeavor to prove
the falsity or ruth of the charges against
Mr.. Hyde I'VE have cleared the deck
for action" said member of the Equit-
able's policy holders committee.
Hyde is said to have made no reply
to the following charges, which are
among those to be Investigated:
Il. That T. Williamson, the superin-
tendent of his Bay Shore country place
and of his Paris home, is on the pay roll
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
for 1920 year.
y That some of his servants are on
the pay roll Of the Equitable
g. That he paid for the banquet
which he gave to Ambassador Cambon
out Of the treasury funds Of the Equit-

Saturdays conference with the State
insurance superintendent is said to have
resulted in the rout of the HYDE faction,
four of its members being forced to resign
from the executive committee These

A Nightmareless Rarehit.

A bachelor whose skill at getting up
dainty supper dishes assures him plen-
ty OF company in the evenings Is re-
sponsibe for substitute Tor the Welsh
rabbit that is free from nightmare. He
covers lightly toasted bread with finely
grated cheese and instead of slipping
it in the oven places it beneath the
flame of the gas broiler until the
cheese has been toasted light brown.
II good cream cheese is used there
is not the slightest suggestion of sog-
giness or greasiness, and even those to
whom rabbit means night of trou-
bled dreams may indulge in this with
no fear of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the grating of the
cheese Broken into bits, 1t would melt
into pasty mass. Finely divided, each
particle should be individually toasted
before 1t has chance to melt down,
and in that state 1t is readily asslmil-

rises 400 feet above the water and is

of it:

Ehrenbreitstein has its legends.
Upon the spot sacred now to engineers
and gunmakers once stood the her
mitage inhabited by Rita, the grand
daughter of Charlemagne. Disguised
with the court of her father, Louis
the Debonnair," she left the world and
lived on the summit of the Ehrenbreit-

WHAT REAL SELF CONTROL 10.

Not Merely Repression of Outward Ex-
preston of Wrong Feelings.
To most people self-control means
the control Of appearances and not the
control of realities, says a writer in
Leslle's Magazine. This Is a radical
mistake and must be corrected if we
are to get clear idea Of self-control
and IL we are to make fair start In
acquiring it as permanent habit.
If man is ugly to me and l want
to knock him down and refrain from
doing so simply because it would not
appear well and is not the habit of the
people about me my desire TO knock
him down is still a part OF myself and
| have not controlled myself until
am absolutely free from that interior
desire. So long as l am in hatred to
another l am in bondage to my hatred;
and if, for the sake of appearances, /
do not act or speak from II. / am none
the less ut It's mercy and 1t viii find
an outlet wherever 1t can do so with
out debasing me IN the eyes Of other
men more willing than / am to be
debased. My selfish desire tc injure
the man | hate is counterbalanced by
my desire to stand well in the eyes of
other men.
There can be nc true self-control so
long as either form of selfishness dom
mates my actions. The control of ap-
pearances Is merely outward repres-
sion and a very common instance of
this may be observed III the effort to
control a laugh.

BEAUTY OF THE RHINE

Story.

Nowhere on earth have romance
and nature combined more successful
~ to charm the human soul than on
the Rhine Above the majestic stream
the sky spreads like canopy of per-
feet blue. The green slopes are brok-
en- here and there by towering rock
and stately fortress and as one APP
its banks from Rotterdam to Lake
Constance the mellow music of old ca
thedral chimes may fail upon the ear
like a benediction IN the hush Of the
eventide. TO the beauties of nature
man through many centuries has add
ed what the PIT of the architect and
the painter and the skill of the builder
can give. The Rhine, stripped of its
legends, would yet be one or the
worlds enchanting spots When over
It is cast the spell of mystery and le-
gend which has come down from the
early days and the real is invested
with the supernatural there is brought
to the mind that which caphyates and
enslaves.
Where nature. nor too sornber, nor too
gay,
Wild, but not rude. awful yet not aus
tere,
Is to the mellow earth as autumn to
the year.
From under the veil of mysticism
which envelopes the river have been
drawn the scenes which opera and the
painters canvas have made a part of
the life of the world. Its tales are for
the nursery and the stage. For every
mile of the Rhine there is song and

EFFECT OF POWDER ON GUNS.
More Powerful Kinds Damage Ord
nance by Erosion or RurninU

More Powerful Kinds Damage Ord
nance by Erosion or Burning.
A serious trouble that confronts the
modern artillerists is the tendency of
the smokeless powders that are now
exclusively used to burn out the in
terror lining of the guns, particularly
near the powder chamber. The pow
der itself is the cause of more or less
anxiety because of its chemical insta-
billy. The erosion or burning out of
the interior tube of the gun, which is
In immediate contact with the powder
gases, is due to the high pressure and
Intense heat Of the gases.
AT the instant a charge is fired
great volume Of gas Is generated and,
being confined In the powder chamber
by the projectlle, its pressure rises to
an enormous amount, which, in the
case of the service charges in the
United States guns, is as high as sew
enteen tons to the square inch. This
IS accompanied by a proportlonate rise
In the temperaturel of the gases.
1T 1t were possible to look into the
powder chambers at the instant Of dis
charge it would be found to be at a
dazzling white heat AS the pro
Jectile begins to move down the
bore of the gun these white-hot gases
rush out of the powder chamber and
as they stream from the larger cham
Der into the smaller bore they literally
melt the hardened steel surface OF the
bore, the process being probably as
sisted by some chemical reaction not
yet thoroughly understood.
The gases, under the enormous pres
sure, quickly find out the very small
est way of escape past the base of the
shell and they stream at an enormous
velocity and still at white heat
through any such slight opening and
melt the hard steel of the guns Just
as stream of steam or hot water
would cut Its way through block Of
ice.
British artillerists have had great
trouble from erosion because of the
quality of powder which they use. The
powder Is known as cordite and the
erosion is the price which the British
pay for certain desirable qualities
which are absent from other powders
that do not cause so much erosion.
Cordite consists of fifty-elght parts of
nitroglycerln, thirty-seyen parts of gun
cotton and five parts vaseline, and it
Is responsible for the serious erodlng
effects. Bulk for bulk, the English
powder is much more powerful than
the United States navy powder.

IN cognomens which have survived the
years. 1t was of one of these that By
ron sang:
The castled crag of Drachenfels
Frowns Ger the wide and winding Rhine,
Whose breast OF waters proudly swells
Between the banks which bear the vine,
And hills all rich with blossomed trees,
And fields which promise corn and wine
And scattered cites crownias these,
Whose fair white walls along them
shine.
And peasant girls with deep blue eyes,
And hands which offer early flowers.
Walk smiling DER this paradise;
Above, the frequent feudal towers
Through green leaves lift their walls of
gray;
And many rock which steeply lowers,
And noble arch in proud decay,
Look Ger this vale Of vintage-bowers.
The river nobly foams and flows.
The charm of this enchanted ground,
And all its thousand turns disclose
Some fresher beauty varying round;
The haughtiest breast its wish might
bound
Through life to dwell delighted here;
Nor could on earth a spot ne found
To nature and to me so dear.
