AN EyER-YOUNG DIVA

A correspondent who met the beloved Patti recently at her home. Craig-y- nos, commented upon the conversation thus: "I don't mind a bit getting old,' she said, provided I don't look old. That is the one thing that matters The most unl1ind of Pattis enemies could not say that she looks 40. Her figure is that of a girl This she attributes to the fact that since she was 25 she has never passed a day without going through her physical culture exercise and when In the country, taking her walk be the weather what 1t may. Rain beating soft ly on the face, the diva believes to be a greater beautifier than all the special ties of beauty doctor. In fit of con- fidence she told friend who asked her how on earth she had managed never to grow a wrinkls-~'Never worry Be hap py and rub into the spots where wrinkles are likely to come common mutton rat. According to this youthful lady of 6S there is more nourishment in mutton fat as a skin food than in half those under aesthetic names advertised for the same effect.

Washington, April S.-Keen disap' pointment prevailed today in the VI cinity of the supreme court of the uni- ted States when that tribunal finished it's weekly task of handing down de- cisions without touching on the dis solution suits against the Standard oil and the tobacco corporations.
 The biggest crowd that has attempt ed in years to get into the court room today blocked the corridors in the cap- itol. Women and men stood in line for hours even while the court was taking a recess for luncheon, in the hope that they would gain admittance.
 The failure of the court to decide the cases today precludes~the announce ment of the decisions until next Monday at least.
 Some of the members of the bar thought the court was flirting with one question involved in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases when it decided that proprietary medicine companies are not entitled to monopolies in the sale of their medicines and that the public is entitled to the benefit of competition among retailers thereof. Justice Holmes in dissenting alone, ut tered some caustic words about the
 popular, but mistaken" notion that

SOME THINGS CAN . NOT BE ARb|TRATED

London, April 3-Sir Oliver Lodge, writer and principal of the University of Birmingham, in a lengthy review of the possibilities for universal arbitration, published today, holds that while every thing a.rbitral should be arbtrated, there are certain things which no nation would consent to submit to arbitration.
 For instance he does not believe that the United States would agree to arbi- trate the matter should an European pow CT be unwise enough to interfere in the event that difflSultx arose between the United States government and Mexico. Similarly Great Britain would never ac- cept arbitration should a foreign power insist upon home rule for Ireland, or If France desired to arbitrate an issue in Egypt.
 Tuching upon the question in Germany Sir Oliver foresees in the near future the question of German outlet to the Mediterranean occupying the center of the stage in the world politics. This, he also considers quite outside the possi- tilty of arbitration, as he believes that to secure such an outlet has been a long standing secret policy of the Ger man government

BANKING BOARD
 MEETS THURSDAY
Two Examiners Will Probably Be Named at the First
 Meeting

Montgomery, April 3-(Specal. )-Super- intendent of Banks A. E. Walker, who was several weeks ago appointed to that office by Governor O'Neal, has called a meeting of the state banking board for Thursday of this week at the capitol, at which time two bank examiners will probably be appointed and an office ass- sstant.
 The members of state banking board m addition to Superintendent Walker are George A. Searcy of Tuscaloosa and E. ]. Buck of Mobile. The meetnig on next Thursday will be the first that has been held since the banking department was created, and at this meeting it is ex- pected that the officials of the department will outline the work to be done during the present year, well as make all ar engagements for the opening up of the state office.
 The act by which the department was created provides that the office shall be located at the capitol, but in view of the fact that the state house is at present crowded to Its utmost capacity, an effort will be made to have the office located at some desirable place in the business dis trict of the city.
 There is at present a bill before the legislature to provide that the governor may locate several of the departments at the capitol elsewhere in the city, and it is believed that the banking department will also be located in the downtown" district.
 Superintendent Walker declares that the various banking enterprises of the state have manifested considerable interest in the new department. and 1t Is understood that they all stand ready to cooperate with the superintendent and his assist ants in the work of the new office.
 ( 4l,. ThttrC 1a ig expected that Superintendent Walker will name two bank examiners and an office assistant. MT. Walker has had large number Of applicants for the office of ex- aminer and he has also been besieged with applications for the other position to be il.I ,

esty with money, or whatever it stands for Of course I don't say that Polly Prim isn't perfectly square and fair in money matters and all that, but I still contend that she is not honest when. il comes to fastening clothes, and making a human buttoner of me-. Knowing that she couldn't afford maid to take with her to the Springs, she deliberately and with malice afore thought had every dress she had buttoned up the back and then had the termity to tell me that she would fasten my clothes if I'd fasten hers"
 That was turn about-surely it was fair play suggested Peggy
 "But she didn't live lp to it." snapped Nancy. Why I'd rather wear dress with rubber draw string in the neck and waist that could slip over my head than to have my clothes gotten up in the fashion that hers were. It required rot only my services, ,buk that of the girl across the hall to get Polly into her clothes. She weighs at least hundred and seventy-flve, and wears clothes just about big enough for hundred and thirty-five pound woman. She has to get in them with shoe horn, almost"
 Didn't it make you life long friends though?" asked Peggy.

You. see our rooms ad joined and Polly is one of that dress, kind I'd put on a shirt waist and white pique skirt and kept it on until dime, time, while she would make three oi four toiletts a day. It took me hall hour by the clock to hook one of those strange frocks that have two rows c1 books up the back. and one across the shoulder and up into the collar.

month before I expected to. My fingers and thumbs were absolutely ruined. My nails looked like potato diggers, and sc I packed up and came home.'' What you say reminds me of a con versation I heard the other day between two working girls" said Peggy. "one was saying that she had given up her boarding house, that she no longer room ed with Mazie."
 Was there any trouble?" asked the other
 "Oh, no, I am still very fond of Ma zie," was the reply. But it was just this way Magic took up too much time with her toilett. She had a particular dark blue dress which had 30 small hooks down the back of it, on the lining and the same number on the outside Then there was yoke acros the should er which had to be hooked over one shoulder, and then it crossed and hooked down the fornt. When I would see her put on that dress in the morning I just knew as well as anything what was com ing. I had to do the human buttoner ect. In the first place it was too small for her. She had >to hold her breath while I lost my temper trying to squeeze her into it. It was a fearful ordeal. The result was we were always late for breakfast. I was all to pieces and pers- piring and didn't look like l had ever been dressed fresh for the day after had accomplished the task. Often I'd bolt my breakfast, and get down to my work in bad humor and all tired out before the day began, and so I just look ed about for another boarding house and went and got me a room and established myself"
 Did your room mate know why you were leaving?" was the query. T think she suspected" was the re- ply Probably she thought inc mean and unaccommodating and all that sort of thing, but I was losing my temper, my health and my religion, on account of being a mere human buttoner and life is too short to filter it away in such manner, so I moved. I am happy giving my employers better service, myself a better disposition and altogeth- CT I am different person."
 "In the end," declared Nancy as Peg gy finished telling her story, these two girls were exactly the same as myself and Polly Prim, and l still maintain that no woman is strictly honest, who will impose on her friends by asking them to be human buttoner."
 And Peggy finally admitted that doubt less she was right

NEWS OF THE DAY
 IN SOCIETY WORLD Monday Marked By Lecture on "Barbe Bleu" MID LENTEN NOTES
Miss Crozier Addresses an Audience at Margaret Allen School-Other Topics of Social Interest.
 Stark Crittenden
By MYRTLE MILES

Miss Lucy Graham Crozer's interpre- tation of 'iAriane ct Barbe Bleu,' as given yesterday at Jthe Margaret Allen school was one of the most delightful in telectual treats of the season. It is un- fortunate that the women of Birmingham had so short a period in which to prepare for the event-whose exact date could not be announced until Sunday, for if the fact of Miss Crozier's lecture had been more widely known there is no question that she would have had an immense audience of club women. However, a coterie of wonen representative of the cultured side of life in the community, and large enough to make her lecture worth while, assembled in response to the notice that Miss Crozier would ap- pear and listened with attentive interest to her analysis of the opera.
 Miss Crozler is a remarkably intel lectual woman. Broad study and deep thought have prepared her for the pro cess of giving the salient points in what ever subject she chooses. She gave the story of the opera yesterday, definitely and with the simplicity which one would use in talking to children, yet interspers- ed it with clever flashes of wit. Content poraneous operas were mentioned incl dentally and brief comparisons with the other works of Maeterlinck evidenced a broad viewpoint. Miss Crozier's inter pretation of 'Barbe Bleu,'' as given to her audience proved her to be finish ed student of Maeterlincks philosophy as we'll as woman of broad culture. That she has been induced to give series Of lessons on the appreciation of Maeter- lincks works will be learned with itner- est to those who failed to hear her yes terday. She has found that her engage ments will permit her to remain in Bir- mingham longer than she at first hoped Among those noted in her audience yes terday were Mrs. John London, Mrs Louis Shulhoefer, Mrs. Thomas Parke, Mrs. Donald Conner. Mrs. Falk, Miss Sue Allen Ball. Miss Ruth Allen, Mrs. Charles Doman, Mrs. Samuel Rand, Mrs. Mayrice Lenk, Mrs. Houstoun Johnston, Mrs. Laurens Block, Miss Mona Hitler and others.

IT Ingredients in One Perfect Blend

It takes IF ingredients to make a spaghetti such as we cook for you. It takes hours to prepare it. If you had the recipe it would cost YOU to make it full twice what we charge to supply it.
 And you haven't the recipe. Nobody has 1t outside of our kitchens. It is our creation-the result of two years' work. And its immense popu. larity makes it priceless possession. All who have tried this spaghetti say that they never have anywhere tasted anything like it.
 Yet many have eaten Italian spa. shetti as it is cooked in Rome.
 We use in the making:
 Dufum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese.
 Best creamery butter.
 The same expensive tomato sauce wa
 use in Van Camps Pork & Beans. It comes ready cooked. All you have to do is to heat it.
 We have made good things for nearly fifty years. But no other dish which we ever devised has created such q furore of favor.
 We ask you to try, and you'll be glad that we make it. Order . few cana now.
