LOST BY TIMIDITY.
An Early British Naval Failure at
the DardaneI,eS.
GOT HIS FLEET INTO A TRAP.

Admiral Duckworth Could Have Won
Had He Acted Promptly, but He Hes
itated, Gave the Turks Time to Arm
and Was Bombarded Back TO the Sea.
The unsuccessful campaign at Gal
upoli when the forces of the allied
powers failed in their attempt to reach
Constantinople after Turkey had ar
rayed herself on the side of Germany
recalls the time when Sir John Duck
worth sailed through the Dardanelles
and then turned round and sailed out
again. 1t was in 1907, when Napoleon
was at war With more than half q
world and when England had on the
throne king with an infrm brain and
ministry called that of "all the tai
ents,' which in spite of its name was
wretchedly inefficient
The French were trying to come to
an understanding with the irresolute
Sultan Selim, which was greatly dis
quieting to the ear since in view of
the great victories of the Little Cor
poral' In Prussia he could Ill afford to
spare any forces from the Russian
frontier So he asked the British to
send q fleet to the sublime porte and
compel Selim TO make terms with Rus
sia and England.
Accordingly Sir John DuckWorth was
ordered to join Admiral Louis in the

Chief Executive Confident He Can Put
Labor Measure Through.
Evidence is rapidly accommodating
that the presidents plan for a compul-
sorry investigation of railroad labor
troubles is to have hard Shedding In
congress. Nevertheless the president
is determined TO put the proposition
through His mind Is made up about
this Just as firmly as it was In the case
Of the Adamson law
According to his friends. the presi
dent is prepared to exercise all the
power he can command over congress.
1t has been intimated strongly that 1t
would take more than the opposition Of
the labor combination to cause him to
recede from his position or even to
consent 80 any compromise plan which
would not obtain for the country a Sc
curity from the conditions which men
aced II last summer
Opponents of the presidents plan are
making point of the Clayton act.
which was passed BY the Democrats.
Senator Hughes of New Jersey, who
ordinarily sides with the president,
said the other day that in his opinion
any plan such as the president appar-
emily has in mind would be taking
away from labor the right to concerted
action, which was expressly given to it
by that act.
Section 20 Of the Clayton law forbids
injunctions being issued to prohibit any
person or persons, whether acting singly
or In concert, from ceasing to perform
any work Of labor Senator Hughes
declared he had personally fought hard
to get this exemption for labor, and he
was not in favor of now taking it
away.
My attitude, said Senator Hughes,
will of course depend upon the plan
that is offered, but so far no plan seems
to have been proposed that would not
be in direct conflict with the right CIV
en- to labor under this act"
Senator Hughes statement reflects
the opinion Of many not only in the
house, but in the senate. While Re
publcans in the main appear to be
more favorable to placing this curb on
the railroad brotherhoods than DO the
Democrats, some are opposed to the
compulsory plan.
Senator Sherman, Illinois, said: In
order to enforce such a law there must
be penalties attached for its violation.
The law must provide for contempt of
court or whatever tribunal makes the
investigation if strike is undertaken
before the Investigation is completed,
and Jail and fine penalties must be at

an employee to render service involun-

The whole blame for this story lies
on the Grass Widows of the North
Shore. That is, several of them were
dragged into the case of Ed Fawng
and his wife, Louise, 1913 Center st.,
Friday in the court of domestic
relations.
Ed and Louise have a. 7-year-old
son. Ed complained to the court that
his wife was contributing to the de-
linquency of their child by spending
good deal of her time at cards,
night and day, with some Grass
Widows located on the North Side.
"She has been out all night six
times in the past few months" Ed
told the Judge; They play cards and
make me Wy. 1 wish your honor
would make her promise not to meet
with these Grass widows any more"
How do these Grass Widows
make their liying?" Judge asked Ed.
They all get alimony," Ed
claimed.

BEAUTY AND HAPPINESS

Acquire a pleasing expression, for
expression stamps and characterizes
you. Your countenance portrays
your inner self and hence its express
sion is influenced by health and the
emotions The troubled expression
of the neurasthenic, the depressed,
forlorn expression of the melan-
choliac, the stupid, vacuous express
sion of the imbecile are classic types.
In marked contrast is the alert, cheer
full, very much-alive expression of
the full of health and happy indi-
viduals. All of the emotions can be
depicted by the expressions of the
face. Hate, anger, love, rapture,
misery, sorPow-all can be expressed
and recognized by their expression.
To this is due the success of the
movies. Without proper facial ex-
preston, the movies would soon lose
their popularity and fall into d.
vor.
If the expression is right, it will
intensity beauty. The right express
sion is the most pleasing one and is
best brought forth through the me-
dunn of happiness. How to be hap
Ply? You can only be happy if health
| is yours, but other things besides
health are also necessary. Your sur
roundings will aid in bringing happi-
ness to you. Keep busy and active.
Make every moment of the day mean
something. Idleness is wastefulness
and breeds mischievousness. Sur
round yourself with pleasing people
and pleasant objects. Keep your
spirits, your moods, your thoughts in
accord with the cheerful, the gay, the
jovial with whom you come in con-
tact. Seek out the young-even the
little children. Gather them around
you and let them teach you cheerful
ness. Their happiness is impulsive
and effected by lack of self-con-
seriousness. Initiate them and be
happy. Let happiness be reflected all
over you. Through it you will be
kept perpetually young and beauty
viii be yours, for happiness is health
and health is happiness-the perfect
circle withir which dyells that ever.

Beauty.

In your beauty-hunt, devote some
of your precious moments to cult
waiting the quality that rounds off
beauty and endows it with polish and
elegance-grace. Grace has a beauty
entirely its own and the beauty of
grace often covers many weak spots
in physical beauty; it never detracts
from it. Grace is governed by the
movements, by carriage, and by at
titude. Free, easy, supple movement,
correct and beftting carriage and
graceful attitude-these are the en-
bodiments of grace. These also be-
token the state of health. There is
nothing of the graceful in the limp
of the tight-shoe foot or the fallen
arch; nor is the Gstless, draggy gait
of the tired pain-wracked body a
pleasing sight. The rounded shout
ders with the slight bunch of the back
in the fashionable "debutante SLOUGH
is far from fascinating. Nor is il
conducive to health, since it depresses
the chest and interferes with proper
breathing. Don't be "slouchy." Throw
back your shoulders, hold your head
up and high. Then can you walk more
freely and breathe more deeply.

THE IDEAL HOSTESS

custard, mistaking it for sugar, we
all smiled and remarked what a
honey time we were having.
You've met the hostess, doubtless,
who is jumping jack. Scarcely does
she get seated at the table and the
conversation begin to flow with that
momentum which is necessary for an
enjoyable dinner, when up she jumps
to get something, which, if given
time, the maid could easily supply
Do you start to tell your favorite
anecdote or your most thrilling ex-
perience, she halts you to remark
querously that you are not eating
enough, and that you must have po-
tatoes.
"Man does not live by bread alone"
but she doesn't know it. 1t is her
conviction that she is failing in hos
pitality if she does not obtrude at
tentions upon you. If you are seated
comfortably on the porch for a quiet
chat or meditation, she wrinkles up
her brow and beseeches you not to
nave stupid Time. She turns on
the talking machine and suggests
dancing. Do you become fascinated
with dancing, she wonders if you
wouldn't have better time at auc-
ton, and forthwith the card tables
are brought out.
Like Tennyson's brook, she goes on
forever. She has no repose. Her
idea of showing her guests a good
time is never for an instant to per
nit them to lose sight of the fact
that they are guests. One leaves hel
house not refreshed by the visit, but
wearied with an awful WEAKNESS, tt
recuperate from which it is neces
sary to take another vacation.

all than to be the jumpihg-jack sort

Summer entertaining, even under
the most ideal circumstances, is apt
to be difficult, because weather con-
ditions usually conspire to make
guests and hostess, to say nothing of
servants, as touchy as a hairspring,

fortune to meet that rarest of all

1t was not that she had money to

On the contrary, luck was against
her. The COOK LETT on the eve OF the

OUR DAILY BREAD.

Here it is beside the way
For our taking as we stray;
Here it blooms in cup of bloom.
Here it is in grasses fine
Where the August crickets boom,
And the grapes are dripping wine;
Here wild cherries, here the spell
Of the hawbush and the shine
Of the paw-paw in the dell
What a holy bread is mine!
Here it is in field and stream,
Hillsides sloping in their sheen;
Here where flags and lilies dream
And the hollows glow between.
Here 1t is in morns that rise
Like an epoch in the skies,
While auroral feet are on
Silver stream and dewy dawn,
Touching with their opal shoon
Paths de.~rted of the moon.
Here it is, the bread of life,
Daily bread for which we pray
In the fanfare and the strife
Of our loud and brutal day,
Here it is to thank Him, for,
Just outside the kitchen door,
Musk of hay in stubble sweet,
Songs Of summer birds to greet
Hearts and memories that have cate
Other bread than merely wheaton.
-Folger McKinsey, in Baltimore Su
