when education is needed ii col

an the Days News"

William Jennings Bryan, for
years a dominant figure in the
democratic party, three times the
nominee Of that party for presi-
dent, and still considered by many
as power to be reckoned with, is
in line for congratulations today,
this being his 60th birthday ami
versary. Mr.. Bryan has had a long
and remarkable public career,
which began with his election to
congress from one of the Nebraska
districts in 1891. Only five years
later he became a national figure
through his famous Gross ofIGo1d"
speech delivered at the Chicago
convention, and which resulted in
his nomination for the presidency.
He was defeated for election by
Mr. Mckinley, but four years later
he was again chosen to head his
party's national ticket His third
nomination and third defeat for
the presidency came in 1908. In
1912 he broke his Instructions at
the Baltimore convention and
forced the nomination of woodrow
Wilson for president. In the Will
son cabinet he became secretary of
state, holding the2 position until
June 5. 1915, when he resigned

anne Bovary he says: Her real
beauty was in her eyes. Although
brown, they seemed black because
of the lashes. Her look came at
you frankly with a candid bold
ness"
Is this the sort of black eye that
you possess? Let's hope that you
use it to better purposes than did
the unfortunate Bovary.
Poe was not so analytical, for In
describing Legeia he says: THE
hue of the orbs was of the most
brilliant of black and far over
them hung jetty lashes of great
length" Again, it was the lashes
that made the eyes appear black,
but Poe thought it was the eyes
themselves.
In Shakespeare's sonnets there
is a tribute to black eyes that
should be read by every woman
whose eyes are 50 called
Thine eyes / love, and they, as
plying me,
with disdain,
Have put on black and loving
mourners be,
Looking with pretty ruth upon
my pain"
And again in the sonnets he says:
Therefore my mistress eyes are
raven black"
Among Orientals there seems to
be special fondness for black
eyes, which are looked upon as
betokening more fire and passion
than brown orbs. You know Thorn
as Moore said:
"A Persian's heaven is easily made,
tbs but black eyes and lemonade"
Among our own physiognomists
it is generally said, too, that the
black eye indicates a passionate ma
ture and ardor in love. Perhaps
that is because when a brown eye
appears TO be black it is usually
luminous and full of fire and shad
ed with heavy lashes, indications
of the virtility that makes for high
passion.
What a large number of cele-
brated actors and actresses have
had eyes that looked black and
are so described The, great Kean
is described as "a small man with
an Italian face and fatal eyes,"
and again his eye is spoken of as
IAN orb of light" or he is said to
possess "eyes which looked dark
and yet bright as lamps, SO large
were they. so piercing, so absorb
ing | could see no other features"
Barrett had very dark eyes and
they are described as black, and
Booth Isl described as having wild
black eyes" and friend of his
said: His large, melancholy dark
eyes satisfy the most fastidiops im-

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any
drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone. and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve. and entirely
destroy, every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp win stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft. and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter 70.

For something that actually does
not exist a great deal has been said
and written about black eyes. For
you know there really are no such
things. Eyes look black, but come
right down to it and you will find
that the so-called black eye is al
ways a very dark, lustrous or pen
etrating bTOWn--or else one of
those gray black eyes that we
spoke of once before. For the
most part it is the dark brown eye
that is known as the black eye.

realistic in his descriptions of
faces as in everything else, seems
to have realized this fact. In de-
scribing that much discussed Mad

GERMAN MENACE REVIVED.

When the reorgani2crs Of the
German government adopted the
descriptive appellation. Imperial
Republic" they gave notice that
the old ambitions which had led
to disaster had not been aban-
doned. NominalIy all power was
reserved TO the people, which was
good in the sight Of the democratic
peoples outside the German Dor
ders. But the spirit of the Ger
mans not having been changed, al
iteration of the form of government
was of minor significance. Fac
tiopal contests for dominance
would be- between frank monarch
lists and nominal democrats, with
the chances for success faVorlng
the former, for a time at least,
since with them were enrollcd the
forceful elements who could not
unreasonably claim to be the best
qualified by experience to rule,
The country being united in pur-
pose to regain the pre-war Ger
man prestige, the presence of the
strongest possible government at
Berlin appeared desirable.
The Pan-Germanists, Fatherland
party and common run of militar-
lists were not all that were out of
patience with the Ebert govern
ment. Opportunity presenting, a
bloodless revolution was accom-
plished. That it will lead to a res
toration of the Hohenzollern mon
archy is not likely. But that it
Twill unsettle the work of European
reconstruction is not to be doubted.
This coup d'etat will prove dis
quoting throughout the world.
1t is ordinarily no rightful con-
Germ of any other country what
kind of government rules in Ger
many. This is not an ordinary
time. however. The German peo-
pie, through their qualified repre-
sentatives, have entered into GER
tain solemn contracts with the
states that vanquished the German
empire The faithful discharge of
the obligations assumed is essential
to the pacification of Europe ana
the world. The Ebert government
was FESTIVE of just demands made
upon it. 1t achieved more success
in this than should have been per-
mitted.
But in the sight of certain Ger
man elements it was weak in it's
dealings with the entente. The
chief object of the reactionaries
who have gained power in the Will
helmstrasse is to put up SITTER re-
sistance to the conquerors. In sub
stance, they propose to test the
degree of the victory which was
secured in the field and nominally
confirmed by Germany's accept
ance of the terms of the treaty OF
Paris They mean to make trouble
for the entente and if possible TO
force Germany back into its Old
position of power among the ma
tons.
SO the revolution is Of very great
concern to the victorious nations.
They must stand by their guns and
prevent the realization of the hopes
of old German autocracy that are
frightened by its return to the
houses of government. Complete
success of the junker-militarists
would revive all the menaces of the
past.
