Newman Levy did the clever pen ard

J used it with extraordinary ease and

strike the right note, beginning with
their choice Of titles. Young April,

If Youth But Knew--with themes like
these half the battle was won at the
start, and they preserved an amazing

every new task was really new, based
on genuine invention.

"that we always labor under the diff

Apparently, no two come out in any
way alike. Fiction can at times be as
stubborn a thing as fact and insist
on being written in certain color or
mood or key and in no other The
books Of the Castles have all, no doubt,
family likeness, but they are richly
varied in mood and color. These au-
thors had to the full the sense of
drama essential in romance, and they
had specifically true feeling for
comedy.
Jennico was put on the stage. So
was The Bath Comedy, which Belasco
produced here as "Sweet Kitty Bel

largely responsible for this piece, but

He was endlessly careful about keep

he wrote a story with an American

he had got his slang terms just right
This last suggests that he was in his

William and Mary Chairs.

The use Of cane work in the back and
for the seat Of black walnut chairs be-
gan late I'm the Stuart reigns. The cane
back was retained later than the cane
seat. as is shown In a chair of the time
of William and Mary, where rich
damask was used on the upholstered
seat
1t is interesting to see how the
stretcher. which in earlier days was of
use to keep the feet raised from wet
or draushty floor becomes by the time
Of William and Mary merely an occa-
sion for elaborate ornament Genuine
chairs of Elizabethan and early Stuart
days show the marks of the feet of the
sitters. as do the lower rails on old
tables. But when carpeted floors made
the use Of the stretcher as foot rest
unnecessary. It was still found in Will
liam and Mary chairs either Joining the
legs diagonally. or higher than it used
to be, us an ornament with a carved
front. BY the time of Chippendale and
Sheraton it had almost entirely dis
appeared.
The Gabrielle leg. with its sudden out
ward curve. became popular in this
reign, at first as an English adaptation
Of Dutch models brought in with klng

crate and characteristic of the great

To make prune jelly, soak the
prunes overnight; in the morning add

stew again for half an hour. This
jelly is excellent for constipated

buster Bear
To Buster Bear the Great World
seemed somehow all wrong. 1t didn't
once enter his head that the trouble
might be in himself. 1t is queer. but
when people get into trouble they sell
dom do blame themselves. Always they
blame some one else. So it was with
Buster Bear.
After cutting his paw on the knife
of Farmer Browns boy, which he had.
In a fit of anger, knocked from the
stump where he had found it, Buster
Bear limped off with his mind made up
to have nothing to do with anything
Farmer Browns boy had anything to
do with. He hated that boy. At least
he told himself that he did. And he was
afraid of him. Yes. sir. he was afraid
blame for that cut paw. Anyway, that
is what Buster thought.
HE put that shiny thing on that
stump just to hurt me-" grumbled Bus
ter, as he licked the little cut made by
the knife. II don't know what it was,
but when I struck it it bit me. 1t was
a trick of Farmer Browns boy, for l
smelled his scent Some day l will get
even with him. Yes. sir, I'll get even
with him. Gr-r-r-r, / wish l had him
here now"
Then Buster Bear did funny thing.
He hastily looked all around to mai
sure that Farmer Browns boy wasn't
there. You see he was just boasting. If
he had suspected that Farmer Browns
boy was anywhere near he would have
taken to his heels at once And this
fear was all because Buster couldn't
understand the things that had hap
pened to him. Things you cannot un-
derstand are mysterious, and mys-
ferrous things are almost sure to arouse
fear. That Misunderstanding knife had
cut him, and it had carried the scent
of Farmer Browns boy. Not knowing
what knife was, perhaps, Buster was
to be excused for thinking that it had
been left there to hurt him. So Buster
made up his mind to keep away from
that bee tree.
But the best intentions in the world
too often are unable to stand before
temptation For the rest of that day
Buster Bear had no desire to go back
to that bee tree but by afternoon Of the
next day he was feeling SO much better
that his thoughts would keep going back
to that honey. 1t was dreadful to know
where there was all the honey he could
eat and not dare go get it.
Buster prowled about uneasily. He
had lost his appetite for anything but
honey. Nothing else tempted him.
Three times he started for that bee
tree and each time when he was al

Of Interest to Women
MAKING CATsUP.

Catsup Is almost as varied in COM
position as in spelling. The diCtion-
airy permits "catshup" and "ketchup"
and speaks of mushrooms and wal
probable origin of the word as East
Indian. No common recipe includes
mushrooms and walnuts. but IL sounds
| quite worth trying.
Some recipes in common use are
| as follows: Take twenty ripe to-
| matoes. peeled. two large onions and
| four green peppers. chopped fine: two
| tablespoonfuls of salt, two of brown
! sugar. two OF ginger, one OF CHINA
mon. one of mustard. a grated nut
| meg and four cups of cider vinegar.
! Boil three hours. stirring often. Bot
| tie hot.
Or stew peck Of ripe tomatoes
and press them through a. sieve. TO
! the strained pulp add pint of cider
vinegar a quarter cup of salt. tea
spoonful each of ground cloves. az
spice and black pepper and MAJ,
spoonful of cayenne: Boil sently
for three hours stirring often. For
very thick catsup, boil eight hours
An old fashioned and very pretty
catsup is made Of barberries ana
cranberries; three quarts of the for.
mer, four of the latter: cup or
raisins, a large ounce and four small
onions Stew and strain the barber
ries alone. Stew the other things
with a quart of water until quite
soft. and strain. Mix with the
strained barberries. add half a cup
each Of vinegar and salt. two cups
of sugar. teaspoonful each of cloves
mustard, cayenne and ginger Lei
the whole boil one minute. If too
thick, add vinegar or water rms
makes about three-quarters of catsup.

UP THE TREE.
most there he lost his courage and
turned back. At last a happy thought
came to him. Farmer Browns boy
never came into the Green Forest
after dark. At least Buster never had
seen him after dark, excepting in the
early spring at the sugar camp So
Buster decided that after dark he
would get that honey. Righ away he
felt better.
So just after the Black Shadows had
crept all through the Green Forest
that night Buster Bear started for the
bee tree. He was very careful to
make no noise. He walked around
that tree in a big circle. testing every
breath of air for the dreaded man
scent. There was none. and Buster
began to feel very bold.
Presently Busters keen nose found
drop Of honey on the ground and
then another and another. They had
dripped from one of the pals in which
Farmer Browns boy had carried away
the honey that morning. Buster lick
more and more reckless with each
taste of honey.
When he reached the bee tree there
was still some scent of Farmer
Browns boy. but it was SO faint that
Buster knew it was quite old. With q
hasty look this way and that way he
scrambled up the tree. Poor Buster
Bear! That hollow was empty save
for a few bits Of broken comb! 1t
was a bitter, bitter disappointment.
1t was one Of the greatest disappoint-
ments of his whole life.

LOWER PRICES ARE COMsNG
Consumers Soon To Feel Relief From
High Prices, Says Federal
Bank Review.

WaShirgton.-Price cutting has
taken hoIi of the wholesale trade to
an extent that soon must be felt sub
Stantially in lower prices to consum-
ers, according to the Federal Reserve
Boards monthly business review. Re
vival of the wave of price reduction
and its spread TO many retail lines
are attributed to "a more eXacting de-
mand by buying public as to price and
quality" Retail purchasers are show
ing continued determination to await
move by dealers TO meet those de-
mands while foregoing luXuries and
seml-luXuries, reports to the board de-
clared
Although the board believes the
buying public is largely dominating
the markets now, it says that labor
and production are having marked
effect on prices. There is much evil
dence, it says, of increased efficiency
on the part of labor, and as q result
production is on the increase and the
factory operations begin to approach

that business conditions now are

nave featured almost all of the textile
lines, agents of the various reserve
banks reported, and they added that
due TO reductions already announced
by Wholesalers and jobbers the retail
ers are buying carefully and not in
large quantities. The retailers atti-
tude is depicted as necessarily con-
Servative for the reason that n mar
ket with downward trend leaves HIM
the alternative of taking q loss or
Keeping his shelves stocked with high
priced goods. Similar Influences are
shown to be bearing on the shoe and
leather industry. In these lines par
tlcularly the reports of the board dis
close the influence of demand lessen
ed by high prices is strong and gives
no Indication of weakening. Because
of this apparent sentiment, the review
states, retailers are postr 0ning buy
ing or are buying only for current
requirements.

Session in Cleveland That Post OBJ

portaton Laws.

Cleveland, O.-DismiSSal from Office
of Louis f. Post, Assistant Secretary
of Labor, for alleged obstruction of
enforcement of the deportation law
was recommended in a resolution
adopted by The new National Executive
Committee Of the American Legion. in
session here.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, From the report of our.
special investigating committee we are
convinced that Louis f. Post, Assist
ant Secretary of Labor, has beer
guilty of obStructing the enforcement
OF the alien deportation laws and that
his continuance in Office constitutes a
serious menace TO public security.
BE it resolved, That we ADOPT ana
approve the report of tine Investigat-
ing Committee and that the Natiorai
Commander be directed to take all
steps necessary 10 bring about the dis
lnissal of the said Louis f.. Post at the
earliest possible moment"
The Investigating Committees re-
port was signed by NJ. X Gordon, of
Kentucky, Chairman; Wilbur c. Hall,
Virginia, and Champion Harris, Ala
bama.
Virtually all who spoke in favor of
adoption of the report and resolution
stated that, while they were Demo
Gratis, they were better Americans.
Among those who favored it were
Emmett O'Neil, of Kentucky; Roy
Hoffman, Oklahoma; Henry Lindsay,
former State Commander and former
Mayor of Dallas, Texas, and Commit
teeman Storey, of Texas, and Drain,
of the District of Columbia.
1t was explained that this was not
commission of the legion to politics,
but that it was outspOken utterance
on a fundamental principle of Amer
icanism.
