WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY
Intimate OF Great Editor Declares
Swearing Was More Than Bad
Habit With Him.

Joseph Pulitzer, the famous blind
foupder Of the New York World, was
not always a purist in language. 1T
least so writes Charles Chaplin, who
was for, 20 years city editor of the
Evening World in his autobiography,
called Charles Chapin's Story"
Sometimes when | was reading to
him he would become explosively pro-
fame" writes Chaplin. "And how
shockingly that blind man could swear!
With him profanity was more of an
art than a vice. Once when I had read
something to him that made him angry
with the writer's stupidity he swore SO
passionately and so loud and grew so
choleric and red in the face that l
feared something inside Of him might
snap.
"SuGdenly he checked himself and
pricked up his ears. There were angry
voices in an adjoining room. One Of
his young sons was having run-in
with his tutor and was forcibly telling
what he thought of him. 4 peculiar
expression. mixture of annoyance
and amusement came over my employ
cr's coun;:nancp.
"'Dcar me- he said, 4 wonder where
that boy learned TO swear He didn't

NEW SPORT ON SUBMARINES
Fishing With Balted Lines Is Now
Employed to Relieve the Tediun'
OF the Life.

Fishing with inverted lines from the
decks of American submarines Is the
newest pastime among members or
their crews operating In the Pacific
ocean from the Los Angeles submarine
base, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
The boats make frequent practice
trips between Los Angeles and Santa
Catalina island. The water In this
area averages about 80 feet In depth.
and Is one Of the finest fishing
grounds of the Pacific coast.
Frequently the boats dive to the bot
tom, and lie there with their motors
shut off while practicing submarine
signaling, t6rpedo-tube routine and the
like.
The upside-down fishing Is done In a
very simple manner. Prior to making
a dive the men arrange their lines on
the deck rails Of the submarine. The
hooks are baited and are strung out
on the decks to be carried upward
when the boat dives. by float at.
tached near the hook. E
Since any fish that takes the bait
can not be removed until the boat
comes to the surface, the lines are
fastened to the deck rail by coll
springs. This practically eliminates
the chance of losing the fish by its
breaking the line, or tearing the hook
out of Its mouth.

Kesn Llfs,s Windows Open.

Life ,is constantly confronted With
new ideas. They must be examined be-
fore being accepted. In this as In
everything else there mast be the right
light In which to make the eSamna-
ton. The bright light that makes the
diamond flash destroys the sensitized
plate. Each must have the light II
needs to meet the thing 1t was maze
for. So each challenging thought must
have it's setting and Hfe's windows are
the media through which we see them.
He who knows how to use his win
dows can have just the kind of light
he needs within. He who closes his
windows to the light is sure TO settle
farther and farther into himself ana
sour In his own stagnatlon. To live
sweet and fresh lives men must see.
It's a matter of opening the windows.

NOW EAT LlaHT BREAKFASTS

and chops as an early morning meal,

BILE British habit, disappeared some

at comparatively moderate. price.
Busy men find they can work better
after light breakfast-boiled egg or
a thin rasher Of ham or bacon. But
they satisfy their appetites fully at
luncheon, giving an hour OF even more
to enjoy their food in comfort.
With women. too. the hearty lunch.
con is becoming popular. They no
longer are satisfied with a cup OF cor
fee and some buttered cakes. Girl
stenographers and clerks take sub
stantial meal of meat and pudding.
Probably they have done a good morn

HIGH PLAY AT MONTE CARLO
Tables Always Full and Bank Doing
Well, Says Londoner>Who Brought
Back Some Money.

Walter Martin, q Piccadilly cigar
dealer, has the distinction of having
broken the bank at Monte Carlo three
times in an hour recently and to have
returned to his home in London With
money in his pocket, according TO the
London correspondence of the Sun and
New York Herald. To many persons
who have heard wonderful accounts OF
winnings-and losses-at Monte Carlo,
"to break the bank" looks big. How
ever, Mr.. Martins winnings in that
one hour of play Melted him just $1,000
francs, today worth about $3.50 in
American gold.
Mr.. Martin admits that he was "in
luck" He said that he played with
"a defensive system" Of his own.
Two "sittings' stood out in his MEM
DRY. One of them was when he broke
the bank as related above. The other
was when he lost 100000 francs. He
played roulette.

penses of myself and a party of
friends off the tables, and also to come
home in pocket as a result OF my

and French are at Monte Carlo IN
about equal numbers. and one thing
that struck me was the number OF

there are three of them to every man.

who were having bad luck and losing
a lot, but one young Frenchman had
done amazing we'll and in three months
had won f250,O00. And, like a wise
