Responsible for Many Of Our
Most Famous Sayings.

With the thought Of yesterdays cpl
grammatists In mind, it should be set
to record that no one has handed
down to this age more homely and i'm
mortal sayings than Cervantes. 'Don

"Sure as a gum" Within a stones
throw" 'Iit+aa-said is soonest mend
ed" "There is no, love lost between

hatched;" "My thoughts ran a-wool
gathering" and GAS secret as the
grave"
One need not look far behind to find
''mad as a March hare" also attrib-
uted to this prolific Spaniard, but
really it was an inspiration of the
English poet, John Shelton, who lived
in the time Of Edward ". "Set the

OF Basile Maklakof, Russian ambas-
sador to France, and who is participant
ing In the conferences of Russian

said:
additional entente military forces
are necessary to restore order and
check anarchy in Russia. It Is i'm
possible for the disorganized country
to right itself otherwise.
Il am not military expert, but In
my judgment, 100000 soldiers would
be adequate. The opposition Is weak.
PetrOgrad practically has ceased to ex-
ist and could be taken with slight re-
sistance"
In reply to question as to what
