vunnP v..,,.u DIFFERENCE
 IN OPINION AMONG
 ITALIAN CABINET
Crisis May Develop-Mem- bers of Cabinet Seem Un- able to Agree on the
 Balkan Situation

Rome, November 5--Sharp differences of opinion have developed in the cabinet concerning the war. These differences have not reached the extent of crisis, but have brought about a conflict in views leading to an exciting incident.
 One of the ministers at recent meet ing of the cabinet is said to have ex- pressed the view that Italy's best inter ests would be served by assisting move- ment toward the restoration of peace. This caused an angry protest and charges were made against the good faith of the minister suggesting peace. Epithets were exchanged and one of the ministers, &C., cording to reports, overcome by indigna- tion, threw book at his colleague, whose suggestion had caused the strife.
 The incident is declared to have been largely of personal nature and the cabi- net and country are united, with this exception, for continuing the present policy.
 While a cabinet crisis, such as those which have occurred in France, England and Russia, has been avoided, opinion here is divided concerning the conduct Ol tHo WdE, cSpCCAdiy cS ASSesA~a7 eI ''e-A kan expedition. Lieutenant General Cadornas iron will has triumphed in this respect.
 He said he would rather resign as chief of the general staff than allow a part of his troops to participate in Balkan undertaking, and his view was finally adopted by the minister of war and the entire cabinet.
 The navy department also has passed through crisis. Vice Admiral Camille Corsi, was substituted for Vice Admiral viale as minister of marine and this ac- tion was quickly followed by the reliev- ing of Vice Admiral Thaon Di Revel from the head of the naval general staff. Vice Admiral Corsi has now assumed active direction of the fleet, which is expected to lead to an aggressive naval campaign.

 .'We shall do infiite harm to the neigh boring nations as well as to ourselves if we are drawn into this policy which pro- vokes war by a preparation which is inn possible without a large increase in tax ation and the arousing of military sys- tenn which sets up false standards of honor We are now spending more than $250, ,000,000 year on preparedness-ten times as much as we spend on agricul- ture-and I feel sure that the taxpayers are not in favor of increasing this sum at this time, when change is not only un- necessary but menace to our national ideals.
 There has not been time in 50 years when there was less reason to add to the expenses of the army and navy, for we are not only without an enemy, but our preparedness is increasing relatively as other nations exhaust themselves.

History of Yesterday and Plans of
 Today Known By Reading PdDers
By MRS. J. B. REID.

Newspaper reading is an essential habit. The individual who fails to read the news of the day, the local happen ings, the current events, even the for eign, is simply drifting and living 8 half-filled life.
 The daily paper is a teacher; it talks to you and for you-the lessons are we'll worth knowing.
 Many people have said foolishly, q haven't had time to read the morning paper" Think of the misfortune of not knowing what the evolution of 12 hours has done for your neighbor, perhaps even for you. The real morning has never dawned, you are in darkness still.
 For the hours, cen the minutes whirl
 by you,
 Burdened in their freight with speed And ere you catch their errand, nigh
 you
 They unfold some wonderous deed.
 Besides the lesson gained from the worlds progress, calculate the sug- gestions for daily service. The papers consider the needs of the people from the standpoint of advanced methods of living-they give results from practi- cal experience-thus the waste of ex- pertinent is obviated.
 The domestic science column is sup piled by a profound student of home makingsand a close study of the needs of nature which cannot fail to help.
 Not only of the making of things does this column treat, but there is in- formation about purchasing; and buy ing is an art

Carries a Rusty Nail

"A fellow I know carries rusty nail in his pocket which he found in a cross road. He says the notion is old as the hills that finding a rusty nail at such a place is sure to bring good fortune. He has no idea why it should, but says his grandfather told him of it. Of course, you will say there is no such thing as bad or good luck. But why should the superstition have come to be believed?"
 "DOUBTING THOMAS"
 The sperstition is old-if not quite as ancient as the hills. heard 1t often as child. I was 40 years old before I found the history of it in a work upon demonology and popular superstitions. Early in the Christian era the story grew that the three nails used in fast ening the Divine Sufferer to the cross were still somewhere upon the earth, and that any one finding them, or even one of the three, would have good for tune for the rest of his life. The su- perstition was carried on into the mid dle ages. We ought to have outgrown it. You are right in supposing that the Corner has no faith in good and bad luck. Nothing happens by chance in the universe governed by One who makes no mistakes.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-06

Advertisers send you. a message di- rect--they state facts as regard price and quality-this gives you an oppor- tunity to figure out your needs, to fix your spending limit and know just what and where to buy and the actual cost to you Therefore, reading adver- tisements require strict attention-it teaches a method in shopping and makes thingA easy for salesman and shopper besides save hours in time.
 Advertising means good business in many ways-it sells, for the man who has something to sell and reminds people of their needs
 Every houseke eeper should keep stock as well as the storekeeper, this keeps one posted as to when things are needed. Nothing done we'll today is into every vocation-and method is the parent of success.
 The housekeeper who has no plans lives in chaos and needs the inspira- tion stirred by knowing what others are doing; thus the papers should reach the door of all classes, giving a daily lesson. What. somebody has done, is doing, we can do ourselves. This campaign on reading the papers may appear as a scheme only to make them more money-and it is practically, but this making of greater circulation means broader, greater lesson to you -it means more news, move bargains and better business for all--this is the strongest foundation of the world, CO., operation, nothing but getting together for everybody's good--it's the papers business. and upon it's columns depend much of the prosperity and traffic of the times. The paper shows you how other people are living and by this you learn to live yourself

Autumn Leaves for Bououets

Can you please tell me in the Corner how can preserve autumn leaves for winter bouquets without the use of paraf- fin only? That gives them such an un- natural look, and the paraffin is so evil dent I think the Corner is doing some fine, helpful work. MAY M"
 wish it could add to the fine work by telling you how to preserve your leaves In former times we put them, when fully ripe" but not dry, between two sheets of plotting paper, then laid them under heavy weight, not removing this for some days. They kept their color well. l have seen them, when dried, sponged lightly with thin varnish. Thus pre- served, they looked pretty all winter. As to arrangement into bouquets, after treat ing them with paraffin, know nothing Some of our artistic members who have handled our glorious autumnal foliage with skill and intelligence will write di- rections for the art, and let us all know how.

Kerosene on Mating

'I had the misfortune to upset a kerosene lamp upon my dining room floor, which is covered with matting I have scrubbed and scrubbed in vain, succeeding in nothing except spread ing the spot for yards around. I used pails of. soapsuds Now, here comes a neighbor who says if I had let 1t alone and left the windows open all night there would have been no sign of the oil by morning. I can't believe it. She thinks you said something like that some years ago. I don't believe that either. It doesn't stand to reason that grease would evaporate Would 1t, now? And what ought I to do?
 "WORRIED TO DEATH"
 Taking the last question first-make paste of fullers earth and cover the spot with it. Leave it on for A hours. By then the alkali should have ab- sorbed the grease. Then wash the mat ting with pure tepid water. Let it dry and sprinkle white Indian meal thick ly over the mating. Rub it in gently and leave it for a day. Then sweep all the meal out. do not guarantee clean Illness or restoration to comeliness. But the general effect will be better for the process.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Omar the Tentmaker,,

The quatrains of Omar Khayyam have bewitched countless readers and when Richard Walton Fully conceived the idea Of a play based on these verses, he had a great deal of imagery to work on but very little plot However, the master hand of the person who staged the play, caught with wealth of color and trans cending allusion the very heartbeats of old Persia, the land where Omar lived and sang the juice of the grape. Although his libations may have been more figura- tive than real, in the play, the poet ap- pears as a drunkard who quotes the fa- nous lines of Edward Fitzgerald and pndergoes a series of thrilling experiences typical of the Orient in theme and in treatment
 The play is remarkably well staged and the pictorial effects are at times superb when enhanced and at the same time soft ened by the proper light effects, some of the scenes look like the work of a painter a gifted colorist, a. master of light and shade who is steeped in orien- talism. An ingenious mechanism per- mits Omar to move through space while he delves into certain of those problems of the soul which he confesses in his poetry that he is unable to solve
 
 Guy Bates Post, who is an accomplished actor, and has appeared in Birmingham iE wide variety of roles, makes Omar picturesque character who is not with out humor. The role is so different from the parts in which MT Post has been seen before that it is agreeably surpris- ing to see how well he plays the conviv- ial philosopher. The play is rather high flown melodrama and not particularly in- teresting, but Mr Post humanizes Omar to such an extent that the poet, at least, is a lovable and fascipAung man.
 The members of the company had nu- merous small pafts to look after and it must be said that all worked hard and truthfully simulated the fiery sons of the desert. Louise Grassler and Mabel Emer- son had the principal roles among the women players.
 Admirers of Omars poetry will find much to please and interest them in the stage adventures of the poet. while the spectacular features compensate for any paucity of material in the play itself.
