NeWly Rich Vex
Queen Marie

Disguised by the invasions OF her
royal privacy by American social
climbers Queen Marie of Rumania
has left the Ritz. ostensibly for
Brides-les-Bains, although really
she is living incognito in Paris with
the Countess Grinedelani. a school
girl friend, who married a member
of the noble Rumania family.
Queen Marie makes no secret OF
her contempt for newly rich spend
ers. who seem to think queen is
legitimate game for their social
bullets. To intimates she has con-
fided the fact that life at the Ritz
became unbearable.
Sheayes of invitations and cards
are left at the royal suite daily, and
the climbers" seemed to disregard
the fact that a queen, as much as
anyone else, likes to choose her
friends.
II couldn't cross the lobby" she
told a close friend, without some
American woman introducing her
self and in the same breath inviting
me to dinner. People I'd never even
heard Of, coming from all sorts of
impossible places like New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, and even Kan
sas City, would wait in the res
taurant for a chance to speak to me.
and some even tried to bribe the
waiter to give them a table next
to mine.
"a Queens incognito Is respected
by the Parisians, but Americans
never let her forget she has the
right to wear a crown"
The Queens grievance is more or
less an inherited one. Belonging to
an old Victorian branch of the Brit
ish royal family, she was brought
up by the old Queen to dislike all
foreigners, and Americans espe-
cially.

Scientists are greatly interested

center of Philadelphia. They es-
innate it Travelled from 1900 to
10000 miles and required more
than FIVE years in it's journey.
The Lousitania was torpedoed off
the Irish Coast on May 7, 1915.
photographers figure that the belt
went through the Irish Sea and
around the north of Scotland, down
through the North Sea and the
English Channel and down the
coast of France and Spain and
Africa There the current bore it
across the Atlantic. Entering the
Gulf Stream it was carried north.
1t escaped from this current and
drifted to the Delaware Capes.
Probably the propeller Of a steam
ship caught it up at the capes and
brought it UP the Delaware. When
found afioat it was 100 miles up
the river from the capes.
The lifebelt was covered with
barnacles. When these were scrap
ed off the name of the Lusitania

you. BY Irving II. Allen. New York;
Cosmopolitan Book Corporation
Scores OF books have made their
appearance In the last year or two
which could be generally CLASSIFIED
as belonging TO the "self-help"
branch or literature. Many have
been inspirational in theme and
have sought through glowing words
and vivid pictures TO arouse la
tent ambitions OF the reader TO
tread the paths OF success. Some
have been devoted TO more or less
elaborate memory systems. to the
development OF personal power and
magnetism, mastery over other
men, effective public speaking, etc. b.
But the book you" while dealing
with all these and many other sub
jects. is far different from all the
rest.
As the author states in one OF the
Introductory paragraphs. "As
source of entertainment. the dullest
popular novel probably offers more
diversion in every chapter than is
contained In this whole book. But
as source of personal profit, not
money-profit but ail-around gain,
this little volume holds the things
you want-the things you have been
seeking. That Is a broad statement,
but the facts will bear IL
out"
He does not base his conclusions
on elaborate theories, but proceeds
in simple language to explain the
workings of The Great Law. And
II is a simple LAWN fact, 1t con-
tains but eleven short words. The
reader will probably be disappointed
because 1t isn't more elaborate; will
probably say that he has known the
Law all his life. While this Is prob
ably true, the author proceeds to
explain that the reader has never
understood 1t well enough to adapl
1t to his life, for a practice of this
great law Of attraction brings sue
cess to all who follow its precepts.
This is but a simple outline OF
"You." The reader will find it's les
sons easy and it's terms thoroughly
understandable. It's sentences are
broken up into short paragraphs.
literally loaded. making for easy
reading.
The measure OF good the reader
will derive from this book seems to
depend entirely on the use he makes
of it's formula for obtaining from
life the worthwhile things one
wants.

best In the garden or on the market
the wise woman cans enough for
use when II Is out OF season. The
Following directions for canning
string beans are suggested:
Select small, tender wax or green
Deans Tor canning purposes. Beans
which have grown within the pod
TO any size are difficult to can, and
the resulting product is not as sat
isfactory as one from younger
beans. The sooner the beans are in
the jar after picking the better
the flavor and the more certain
they are TO keep. Wash, string,
and cut of the ends OF the beans
Whole beans may be canned or
they may be cut in short lengths.
Those cut diagonaliy are attractive
In appearance.
FILL JARS WITH HOT BRINE.
Place the beans in a wire sieve
or In cheesecloth and blanch (scald)
in hot water or live steam for
from three to five minutes, or until
the pod will bend without breaking.
On removal, drain well and pack
into hot jars which have been
boiled for fifteen minutes. on the
Jars place rubbers which have been
boiled in a solution OF one table,
spoon of soda to one quart OF
water.
Cover beans with a hot brine
made from four tablespoonsful of
salt to four quarts of boiling water.
Put on top which has been boiled
fifteen minutes. With glass-top
jars put one wire bail in position.
Make screw tops about half tight.
Processing beans under steam pres
sure is recommended. Quart jars
should be processed forty-five min
utes under pressure of ten pounds.
With a hot-water Gamer or with a
home made Gamer made out OF
wash boiler or lard can process the
jars three hours IL the one-period
procedure Is used. Make sure the
water is boiling before starting to
count time. When boiled, tighten
the covers and cool.
II the Intermittent boiling pro-
cedure is used, boil for one hour on
three successive days. Before each
boiling loosen the covers. Tighten
covers after each boiling. When
the processing is finished. lift the
jars from the Gamer. Cool in a spot
free from drafts: test, and store. In
event Of leakage when jar is test
ed, remove rubber, put on neV wet,
boiled one, and process fifteen min
utes more.
