c,l remarks concerning the industries and
institutions of the United States. lie
chose the motion picture as the major
target for his verbal cannonade, hurting
unon this widespread national amuse
mont the most unrcstrained dcnuncla-

criticisms directed against certain bad
men in office which results IN rotten
legislatures.

However moving pictures may be
made highly educational and instructive

The trouble with our legislatures Is
that there arc 50 many men IN office VINO

GAUDY COSTUME HIS F0lBLE
Marshal Murat, Napoleon's Famous
Cavalry Leader, Seemingly Had
Craze for "Fine Feathers"

Marshal Murat was the dandy
among NapOleon's generals One Paris
tailor said that in some years he had
made as much as 100000 francs worth
of suits, overcOats and uniforms for
Murnt. He liked to invent new and
fantastic uniforms he strutted about
In suit of sky-blue overalls covered
all over with gold spangles, and he
decorated his busby with aigrettes. On
the occasion of his triumphant entry
into Warsaw when he supposed he
would be made king Of Poland. he
wore an impossible looking uniform,
red leather boots, tunic of cloth Of
gold, sword belt blazing with dia-
rnonds. and great busby of fur
decked out with costly plumes. On
this occasion Napoleon lost his temper
and testify exclaimed to his general
go and put on your proper uniform
you look like clown" But the EN-
peror was not misled by Murat's love
of finery, for II is recorded that he
once said of him. you may smite At
my dandified marshal. but you will no
tice that when columns are shot down
today, Murats gaudy plume will be
dancing in the hottest of the fight. Lei

PAINTED OVER COURT FINERY
Ruse by Which Nuns Had Queen De-
plcted az 4 Member Of Their
Religious Order.

Through chance discovery in the
garnet Of ducal palace in Madrid, a
observation-disclosures romance of Il
wonderful Veasquez has been re-
vealed. Hidden for three centuries as
picture of nun, this portrait of
Queen Isabella Of Spain, the first wife
of King Philip ", has recently been
restored in London.
In the disguised picture practically
nothing but the face and hands of the
original was left uncovered and the
secret was first guessed at owing to
the paint peeling away from the nuns
hood, when there was revealed the
fringe of a lace collar.
Princess Isabella OF Bourbon was
married to Philip In 1915, and in 1924
was staying In the convent of the nuns
belonging to the order of the Descnl-
EOS. AS n mark OF the kindness she
there received she presented the nuns
with this velasquez portrait Of her
self.
Later Isabella wished to enter the
convent, but the pope would not con
sent. The inmates Of the convent
called in n painter, and secretly in
structed him to paint out the queens
court dress and the lace handkerchief
in her left hand, and to present her In
the complete garb of professed nun.

Failure 10 the Final Test.

Real winners in life never show the
white feather. They ere like the drum
mer boy In our Civil war, who. when
his regiment was being moved down
still kept pushing ahead, beating an
advance. When ordered to beat re-
treat, the boy replied that he had
never learned how-he had only been
taught to beat an advance.
The finest type Of manhood is never
overwhelmed or entirely dismayed no
matter what comes. II man Of this
kind loses property, II his ambition is
thwarted and his plans demolished his
spirit remains undaunted, his courage,
his resistance and his self-confidence
