LECTURER GIVES IDEAS
OF FAMOUS LITERARY MEN

Sidney Landon, noted character
impersonator of Cleveland, Ohio,
was very realistic in his illustrative
reviews presented Tuesday after
noon before South Bend WOmen's
club members and guests. 1t was
Mr. Landon's purpose TO give his
personal conception Of few Of the
men of the recent literary age who
have laid the foundations of the
worlds literature.
In the first impersonation. Mr..
Landon presented a study Of Victor
Hugo, as he addresses the populace
on the occasion OF his SOth birthday
after that sO-called e. JtistiCal liter
airy success has been invited 10 re-
turn to Paris following his long en-
forced political and social exile.
In contrast TO the character of
the French novelist Mr.. Landon
next portrayed the quaint character
OF Edgar Wilson Nye. Familiarity
known as Bill Nye" to whom he
alluded as a mOdestly successful
man. In connection with this inter-
probation Mr.. Landon read sketches
from Nye's lecture "Our Boy" In
the presentation of the character of
Edgar Allen Poe. Mr. LandOn dis
played a sympathy ard appreciation
that made the study particularly ap-

pealing, as illustrative of the cratic
genius of Poe. Mr.. Landon used
the lyric "Annabelle Lee" Rudyard
Kipling. British man of letters and
affairs and winner of the Nobel lit
erary prize, was the last of the
character studies presented and the
philosophic bit of verse. 'LiEnvio, -
was read.
Preceding the lecture Mrs. We're
Strayer rendered two vocal solos.
Mrs. Nina Doolittle presented the
problems confronting the education
al institutions. Mrs. DOolittle ex-
planned that one reason for the pres
ent dearth of teachers was due to
the inadequate pay offered public
school instructors
Miss Grace Galloway gave a re-
port of the results accomplished in
the Americanization work being
carried on by the club at the Wash
ington school. Miss Galloway an
nounced that the pupils in the op-
portunity room, for which the club
is furnishing milk, show a total gain
Of 3O4 pounds for the period of six
weeks that they have received the
milk. Announcement was also made
of the appearance here if Miss Ior-
raine Baer, soprano. who will give

Kitchen Economics
FIVE UNUSUALLY DELICIOUS
WAYS TO ADD FIGS TO
THE DIET

During the war period figs and
dates were almost prohibitive in
price because so few were on the
market. But figs are now obtain
able in abundance. and as they are
a most wholesome dried fruit they
should be served frequently. Ger
tainly they are usually more ac-
ceptable at The table than the lowly
prune. although, having somewhat
less flavor than the prune. il is
necessary to add some additional
seasoning when cooking them.
Figs may be served plain, stewed.
baked or in pudding form. This fig
custard is excellent for the child
ren's lunch.
Stewed Figs.
Wash the dried figs and then
cover with cold water and let soak
over night. In the morning stew
gently in the same water in which
they have soaked until tender. Then
add a half-cupful Of sugar and the
juice of half a lemon. and continue
TO simmer until a thick syrup is
formed A stick OF cinnamon may
be cooked with the figs and then
remove before the sugar is added.

"Oh. oh, Oh MY" and a lot Of

banks. arising from the basement,
whittier she had gone 10 unlock a
safety deposit box for one of the
banks customers. II was a scream
Of fright; an appeal for help. and
over and over again until much OF
the bank force had rushed down
the stair. ostensibly TO her rescue.
And there they found her, still
screaming for help, just planted up
/ against q post while the bank Gus
toner with a sickly smile looked
at her pitifuly and at her wouldbe
rescuers with feigned nonchalance.
Would they hold him responsible .?
They might, That runs something
ike his troubled brain, at least for
the moment. He was casting about
for an alibi but the band descending
the stair weren't-at least apparent
~. They proceeded as though at
first. they had anticipated a bank
robber, and Mr.. Bank Customer
thought almost that he saw them
armed with a 44-calibre bulldog in
each hand, rings in their noses and
ears, and knives between their teeth.
" 4AoN were you uOlHk 10 lldL
girl ?'' the bank teller demanded. So
did the assistant cashier: so the head
boOkkeeper. II was quite of one
voice but woefully void OF harmony
and naturally, as a thief when
caught-even though an innocent
thief-Mr. Bank Customers optics
focused upon the floor, much 10 his
relief.
Behold a mouse, Planted there
midway between the foot Of the
stair and the entrance to the vault,
IL sat. calmly and Serenely as the
rats that were enchanted by the Pied
Piper of Hamelin. Mr. Bank Gus
toner advanced-"over the top
and deposited his forward foot
forthwith on the little culprit, which
never budged, made no effort to es
cape whatever
And then the dispute Had the
mouse been lulled into insensibility
by the 'fbabble Of tongues" the
screams of the frightened young wo-
man, or had some mischievous gaz-
taboo put II there, for the purpose
Of creating a scene? Anyhow il was
rather a defunct mouse.
And lastly, did Mr.. Bank Gus
toner slip down stairs in advance,
and plant the mouse there for an
abb to be used in case the screams
of the young lady should get beyond
him and attract attention?
The Investigators left tn t
TO her to answer and she not only
answered. but proved II. Yes, it
was the mouse" she said. He never
touched me-" and rushing up stairs
she saw something on the floor of
the bank lobby. and such a dancer
OF the highland fling you never saw.
One Of the other girls was heard
to remark TO her about that time
that she was awful glad it was her
and not her!
