A German Name in France.


Writing of his visit to the perfume
factories of Grasse in Harper's Maya
zine, Herbert Adams Gibbons tells Of
questioning the use of the German
name Cologne on a French product.
II noticed a table of bottles labeled
eau-de-cologne. Surely this is now
eau-de-liege in France? l remarked.
Are not German names taboo?
my guide answered seriously: We
have tried our best here and in every
perfumery in France, but dealers tell
us that they cannot sell eau-de-liege,
even though they assure their custom
ers that it is exactly the same product,
and explain the patriotic reason for
the change Of name. Once given,
names stick. The public will not ac-
custom itself to a change. Once we
launched a new perfume that made q
big hit. Afterward we discovered that
we had named it from a wrong flower.
But could we correct the mistake? It
goes by the wrong name today all ovey
the world"

Francis Hackett, in the New Republic.

Francis Hackett, In the New Republic.
Were man boiled and served with
caper sauce 1 do not believe you could
tell him from mutton. In his own mind
man always fears to be a wolf. Tho
much greater probability. Of course, is
his approximation to a sheep. If there
were more deep self knowledge in the
prayer book human beings would not
exclaim against their turbulent desires.
They would beg God for courage enough
to keep from giving the hatboy a dime.
They would ask the good Lord to de-
liver them from the terror Of wearing
a Panama after September Is. 1t is very
gratifying to pretend to the Lord that
we restrain ourselves with great diff
Guilty from murder. The horrible truth,
as we we'll know, is Jul mute submis-
sion to every form Of grand n petty
tyranny. Why are we straphangers?
Why do we wear black evening clothes?
Why do we go to funerals? why do we
eat bakers white bread? Why do we
sign our letters, yours sincerely? Why
do we let Horlick and Hershey and Bur
rowes and Carter and all the other in
famous vulgarians scrawl their ugly
names across the fair face OF America!
Not because we are such surging icono-
clasts that we need the Lord to keep W
/. In q cage.

AUSTRIAN SLAYER
DECLARED MADMAN
Assassin of Premier Mentally
Unbalanced BY War, Is Be-
lief of Austro-Ger-
man Public.

Berlin. Oct. %. (via London, oct.
2D.-All accounts in the morning pa
pers agree in calling the assassination
of Premier Stuergkh, of Austria, the
deed Of an irrepressible political ia
matte, if not a ne~urasthenic, whose
mind has given way under the strain
of the war.
DR.. Friedrich Adler, the assassin, is
described by acquaintance as a man
of Il naturally fanatical temperament
in whose family insanity runs-his
sister has been in an insane asylum for
years. These acquaintance say Adler
has given the impression for months
of one whose nerves We're stretched to
the breaking point and that his wild
demcanor had caused much agitation
in the socialist central committee, of
which he was secretary. Young Adler
led q small but vehement opposition to
the policy of the party under his faith
cr's leadership.
Vienna, Oct. %, (via London, Oct.
23).-Gcvernment circles here regard
the killing of Premier Stuergkh as an
act of a political crank, which can in
no wise influence the political situation
or the course of the war. This state
ment was made to the correspondent
Of the Associated Press il highly re-
sponsib1e quarters.
1t is pointed out hat the time which
has elapsed since the murder has
shown that Adler, the assassin, stands
alone. His act is disavowed by the so
cialist party and press and condemned
by his father, Victor Adler, socialist
member Of the lower chamber of the
reichsrath. Adler stated to the police
tina he shot Stuergkh because the
premier opposed the c%onvening Of par
lament. 1t is stated officially that
Stuerokh had at no time done this and
that he could not do it because the
c%onvening Of parliament was a matter
in the hands of the political parties.
The Austro-Hungarian press brands
Adler as a vile, irresponsible criminal,
and without exception deplores the fact
thai the act of a crazy man should dis
turb the peace of the people. The city

MEXICAN PLOT TO
UNSEAT CARRANzA
Angeles, Gomez and Villa Said
to Be involved in Conspir-
acy Against First
Chief.

Washington. d. c.. Oct. 2s.-Fresh
reports Of ar attempt at a coalition OF
Mexican generals against Carranza
have reached here. They are unofficial,
but persons advised or Mexican Affairs
consider them well founded.
Villa is said to have agreed to leave
Mexico If Carranza is deposed. The two
candidates who are being most prom
inently considered by the coalition are
General Angeles and DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez. Both are in this coun-
try.
In support of the stories Of a coali-
ton, it is pointed out that the families
of Carranza and Obregon are in the
United States; and, though Secretary
Lansing has denied this Is Of any sig
%nificance, the denial is disputed by those
who say the revolt is being planned.
So far as known here, General Obregon
is not in the plot and is loyal to tho
first chief.

Very Fine Handiwork,

DR.. Heylin in his "Life Of King
Charles" records that during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth "there
was one who wrote the Ten Com
mandments, the creed, the Pater-
noster, the queens name and the
prayer of our Lord within the
compass of a penny and gave her
majesty a pair of spectacles of such
an artificial making that by the help
thereof she did plainly and distinct
ly discern every letter."
A somewhat similar feat was that
.trare piece of work brought to pass
by Peter Bales, an Englishman, who
also exhibited before her majesty
the entire Bible written in a book
containing as many leaves as a full
sized edition, but fitting into a wal
nut"
