FASCINATED THE FAIR SEX
Marat, Repulsive In Person and Man.
ners, Was Noted for His At
tractveness to Women.

Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading
and most infamous figures of the
French Revolution, was described by
a contemporary as beyond any ques.
ton the ugiest man in the whole OF
France-and not merely ugly, but pos
lively repulsive in person, habits and
manners" And yet, in his early years,
he was the most popular physician in
Paris, not because of supposed pro
fessional skill, but on, account of his
tttractiveness to women, the most
wealthy and beautiful women of
France daily crowdlng his consulta-
tion rooms, pushing, almost fighting,
TO get word or perhaps, a smile from
him. That he turned gold shoulder
TO their allurements seemed only to
inflame their ardor, and at one time
he contemplated flight, so embarrass-
Ing became their attentions. Even
when he contracted loathsome skin
disease while hiding in the sewers of
Paris. fair women continued to adore
him.

Safety First.

Mrs. Smith and her daughter attend
ed the movie. On entering they found
it very dark. The daughter, taking the
lead, found seats No. and 3, about
midway in the balcjhy. The man in
seat No. stood up to let the two pass,
and when they had entered the row
the mother thought she was falling
and reached her hand forward to catch
herself, The man. still standing, said
- the mother: Lady, you have your
hand on that mans head"
Drawing her hand back with sur
prise she turned to the speaker and
said; "Oh, / thought It was a post, for
1t shone like that post up there"
After seating herself she addressed
her daughter in loud voice and said:
II put my hand right on that mans
head" pointing to man in the row
below. Much laughter followed and
many lost interest in the rest of the
film.

ROMANCE BECK0NS TO ALL
According to Theatrical Star, Men and
Women Never Really Forego
Their Childhood Dreams.

'We are all more or less only grown
up boys or girls" Mr.. Ditrichsteln
said in an interview given recently to
a New York Evening Sun reporter.
1.-THE less grown up we are the more
we enjoy life and the thrill of living.
1t is this JOY of human experience
which makes the stage possible and
which particularly aids the actor of
melodrama.
"The life of the rowing buccaneer of
adventure or the suave cavalier with
his romantic conquests is denied to
most of us" Mr.. Ditrichstein said al
most sadly, but there lives in us all
the desire to do the rash, impossible
and delightful things of our great he
roes of fiction. The wisened, colorless
little man you see on the commuters
train, who tolls by day over his prosaic
books and figures, possibly may be a
d'Artagnan or n Don Quixote within
the infinite realm of his nocturnal
imagination. The shop girl during
the daylight hours may be the rein
carnation of Cleopatra or Helen OF
Troy over library book during the
evening. She may practice before her
mirror the walk and manner Of Eu-
ropean queen and, in extreme cases,
where the imagination buoys hope to
the highest point, even go so far as
to think of herself as queen Of the
movies.
ut is not too much to say" Mr.. Dit
richstein said, with a sly twinkle of
his buccaneering eye, that even the
famous tired business man is occa-
slonally subject to hope that there
is something In life more romantic and
exciting than the cutting of coupons
and worry over the high cost of ste
noSraphers and other business com
modities."
Disciples of "the good old days"
when men and wine ran free; when
dashing cavaliers plunged through the
guardian moat to the castle walls and
carried the lady of their hearts de-
sire away through the moOnlit lanes
Of the whispering forests and matched
their lances against the bravest men
OF the enemy forces simply for the JOY
of gallant fight or to aveage a lady's
honor-of such, according to the mel
dramatic star, is the kingdom Of the
orchestra and the gallery wherever
meIodrama is produced.

STEAM CAR GOES
 WHEN HE TELLS IT

A copy of an interesting letter was re- ceived last week by A. J. Bunch of the Bunch Morrow Motor Co.,, Alabama dis tributors of the Stanley Steam car. The letter was from Robert L. Carter of Balls ton Spa, N Y, to a friend, and read as follows: T recently had a passenger on the front seat of my Stanley with me, bright little fellow from California, about years old He had never seen steam car and immediately began asking ques- tions. I got in and started the car, the lad loked at me and exclaimed, what made it start?' told him l had just sim ply told it to go and it went. We rode about 35 miles that day, and I'll bet l answered 200 questions.
 .'The next day I drove in a garage to initiate a spare tire and just before step ping in the car I took peek at my pilot. The little fellow said, Did you whisper to it and tell it to go?' When l said Yes, he came back with the question, Does II always go when you ask it to?' l had to tel him it always had, for I have driven two Stanleys about 40,000 miles and al ways come home on my own power. VIII not say that never had any trouble in driving that number of miles, for no one who ever drove car of any kind nearly 17.OO0 miles and have seen the engine Just once, and nothing was done to 1t then. The cylinders I have never seen, and she runs like a watch today"

An organized effort on the part of the conservative element of automobile
 drivers to force the road hog from the streets is advocated by George W. Hanson, president of the Hanson Motor
 Company, and for years one of the most prominent automobile men in the south.
 "The nefarious practices of a great many taxi drivers and owners of very llow-priced cars" MT. Hanson states, are becoming so obnoxious and unbearable that the man who drives with respect to the rights Of others does so at imminent risk of damage or destruction to his ma chine, as well as injury to it's occu- pants.
 Many of these reckless and irrespon- sible drivers proceed upon the theory that the odds in collision are in their flavor, or, in many cases, they have no no money invested and their employers VIII suffer the loss.
 Tn many cases this is true. The man who makes an investment in car anu takes pride in it's appearance ana op- seration. does not want to run the oanger sof having it's appearance belittied. ana Econsequently will surrender his rights 10

Finally they took me to the hospital and I stayed there six weeks. but did not seem to improve in the least. bo I was brought home and had just hbout given up hope when friend per- buaded me to try Tanlac.

ConserUatiUe Element of Auto DriUers Should Force
 Road Hog" From Streets
George w. Hanson President of Hanson Motor Company, Outlines Plan for Protection of Careful Drivers and Public Wel-Drastic Measures
 Should Be Adopted, He Says

the road in lieu of the hog
 How many times have the conserVa- tive speakers of which speak expe- rienced these conditions? Have you ever attempted to thread through the maze of rush hour traffic in a conglomer- ated line of street cars, passenger cars and trucks extending for several blocks?
 While you keep to the right and en- deavor 10 protect the lives of pedestrians, have YOU ever seen some ramshackle car in which the driver has at most only a few hundred invested, rush by you to either right or left, endangering the lives of persons alighting from the street car, or. failing to effect this passage, at tempting to cut you off at imminent risk of smashing your car with probable slight injury to himself.
 If he cannot pass to the right of you he will, in nearly every instance, at tempt to crowd you to one side, and if you refuse to give wax will push on to your left, passing street cars and block ing traffic in the coming direction, the while attempting to hog all the road, regardless of the rights of other drivers and the lives of those walking the streets.
 ITO avoid this danger and to promote the intelligent use of an automobile, laws must be devised and enforced. The con servative drivers must awaken to their duty and report the drivers who snow their utter disregard of the rights or others and their. own incapaeity to own or drive an automobile.
 ''The police must be impressed with the necessity of enforcing the laws relatlVe to reckless driving. They should also pc reminded of the existence of Jay walk ing laws and prevent the danger to pc destrians crossing the street in the ma de of .he blcck. The element of reck- less drivers is increasing rapidly durins this era of prosperity. and the tune mas come when a halt must be called

The Paris Insignia

Fortunately for members of the A. F. F. Paris command whose shoulder emblem created considerable discus sion among the French art critics, they were wearing the fleur-de-lis accord ing to regulations of 1918 and not in the manner made popular by authori- ties in the time when "The Three Mus keteers" were making history, and "Milady''-the lovely villainess of the 'book-was branded on the left shoul- der with red hot flour-de-lis just be- cause she had been careless enough to cause the downfall of a priest. In those days. instead of calling on a tailor in search of sporty fleur-de-lis, person was hauled before the royal blacksmith and given a decoration he did not lose on being demobilized.
 According to the Home Sector the ex-soldiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes. the fleur- de-lis. long be- fore the eighteenth century had come tc stand for just one thing sovereign. unlimited power as represented in the ruling Bourbon family.
 1t says: The most charitable ex- planation of such totally incompre- hensible blunder is that the originator of the gray or silver shoulder badge merely had the notion that this em- Hem was in some way associated with France and let the thing go at that. So far he was right. The flour lis iS associated close.S with France. But it is associated with phases in the his tory of France which the Frenchman generally avoids. To tag a part of an allied army with the flour-de-lis is about as tactful as it would be to christen a French child Benedict Ar mold out of coroVEment to widely known American.
 The selection did not shock the Americans. because the Bourbons were nothing in their young lives. but it did cause some hilarity. for the administra- tion of the Paris command had been a trifle monarchical in tone-so much Sc that Brig.
