PREMIER VENIzELOS
MAN OF THE HOUR
Holds The Scales Of Peace or
War In Balkans.

In the very center Of the huge kalei-
doscope which the war god h moving
before the gaze Of the world stands at
present the Greek statesman, Eleutbe-
rios VenizelOs. He is in the completest
sense the man OF the hour. His recent
recall, after i've months Of voluntary
exile, to the premiership has fixed the
eyes of the world upon him
During the past months the psyche
logical moment for all the Balkan
states has been approaching with a
continual growth Of its own impor-
lance, not to the Balkans alone, but to
the world. Now it seems to have come.
A steady stream Of propositions has
flowed to Bucharest, Sofia and Athens
from the Teutons on one side and the
entente powers on the other, all striv-
ing to induce the governments seated
IN the three capitals to abandon their
policy OF hesitation and to adopt one

New Towel Ends.

The ends Of the newest embroidered
towels are surely trying to emulate
the latest Of dress fashions, for they
are showing every variety Of scallOpS
Where one was once content to hem
stitch the ends Of a buck towel and
place a simple embroidered letter in
the middle Of one end, to be strictly
up to date one must now slash the tow
cling into some new cut Of scaIOping.
There are square scallOps, pointed
ones, wide and shallow and deep round
ed scallOps and scallops within seal
lops- And they are embroidered in col
ors, often with a finish Of a second
buttonholing Of another color or
crocheted picot edge. Fillet crochet
inserts are quite the thing now for
towel ends; sometimes one sees a piece
of flIlet insertion with three initials Of
the intended owner crocheted in the
mesh. Cutwork initials or solid initials
with an oval background Of cutwork
are very effective and are not difficult
when one considers the results obtain
ed. The plain woven ends Of Turkish
towels are now being embroidered,
most often with a Powered border Of
darned work or French knots.

Many Uses Of Graphite.

Few people begin to realize the range
Of uses TO which graphite is put, says
the Scientific American, for It Is an
essential though minor ingredient in q
great number Of unsupported connec-
tons as common as that OF lead PEN
els. With many OF these the graphite
man Is himself unfamiliar, beyond the
simple fact that this or that manufac-
turer purchases from him, for In such
uses 1t Is apt to represent part OF q
secret process.
Lead pencils, lubricants, electrical
conductors and black poiishes and
paints are prominent conventional uses,
but It Is liable to be present pretty
much anywhere that anti-friction, IN
fading blackness, heat resistance, cleo
trical conductivity or noncorosfveness
Is a desirable property, and the fact
that without graphite the derby hat, as
We know 1t could not be, Is an exam
pie Of its Importance as an incidental
Ingredient

Edwin soo.h and lincoln.


Il has long been known that Edwin
Booth felt deeply the grief that Il was
one OF his own family who took Abra-
ham Llncoln's life. This little story,
which the editor of a well known mag

fact:

The great actor stood for a moment
before the wonderful bronze with his
head barred. Then he took a rose from

OF the statue. he entered the carriage
and was driven away, utterly uncon-

OF the problem.
Cabled dispatches from Europe state
that Venizelos agreed to resume his
position as head Of the Greek govern

should not oppose armed Intervention

VeniZelos so well organized In 1912,
after the Balkan war, and which he
