CHRIsrMAs SEALS.

We have reached the time of year once more when the opportunity pre- sents itself to help those who are suf- fering from the white. plague and those who are putting forth energetic methods of combating it to carry on through the purchase of the Christmas seals.
 However excellent the many other ob- jects that are deserving of support there cannot be overlooked the wide spread appeal that must be made through the sale of the Christmas seals to make needed contributions to relieve those who are already stricken and to protect others from the dangers of the dread disease.
 It was 6 decade and half ago that the seals. were offered to the public in order. to arouse interest in the effort and to get as general a contribution as pos sible from the people and the result has been that about twenty million dollars have been contributed in small sums during that time to checking and pre- venting tuberculosis. The death rate on the battlefield is little compared to the effects of disease each year and every good wori that IS aimed at the reduc- tion of this great loss ought to make strong appeal to the individual.
 Because of the decrease in the death rate which has been brought about through the attacks upon tuberculosis it is estimated that more than 75,O00 lives have been saved in the past Is years That certainly is worth the effort and the dollars that have been given to tht cause, and with such good results ob 1 tained in the past there can.iot fail tt | be the same amount of interest in keep | ing the good work going.
 ] By means of the Christmas seals | | is possible tc make your contribution 1 in accord with your means. The objee | is such that everyone should be anxiou | to be included in the cause. The big | ger the purchase the greater the goo: 1 that can be accomplished but there i not to he over ooi1ed the handsome sun | that con be rolled un through the grea number of small contributions.

Famous Trials

Probably the only instance ir h's- tory where a father tried two of his ons for treason, found them guiity. sentenced them tD death, ana was present at their execution was that related of Lucius Junius Brutus by Livy. Lucius Junius was Ncelebrated Roman during the reign of Tarquinius Superbus, and was the author of the conspiracy which drove this monarch from his throne and into banishment.
 '''o vet yoHng in years Brutus saw his father and brother slain by the
 4 u 1arqGih, and having no means of avenSing them, and fearing the same fate to himself, he affected a all formidable in the eyes of a sus- picious and cruel tyrant.
 At length. however. when the Elm peror's eldest son, Sextus Tarquinius, outraged Lucretia, the daughter of Brutus, the father, amid the indig nation that pervaded all orders, threw off his mark and snatehed the dagger from the bosom of the victim and swore upon it eternal exile to the fam fly of Tarquin.
 Wearied out with the tyranny of this monarch, and exasperated by the spectacle of the funeral solemnities of Lucretia, the people abolished TO- yalty, and confided the chief author ity to the Senate and two ma agistrates. naming as the latter Brutus and the husband of Lucretia. Tney signalized their entrance upon it's duties by mak- ! ing all the people take a solemn oath never again to have a King of Rome. Efforts, nevertheless were soon made in favor of the Tarquins, and before 1 the end of the year a conspiracy was ! formed in which many of the youn mo- 1 bill ywere concerned, among the rest | the two sons of Brutts. They. were so infatuated by supernatural blind ness,'' says Dionysius, as to write under their own hands letters to the | tyrant informing him of the number of conspirators,- and time appointed for dispatching the consuls.
 A slave of the name of Vindicu: became acquainted with their design: and gave information to the consuls who immediately went with a strong guard and apprehended the conspira- tors and seized the letters.
 As soon as it was day Brutus as cended the tribunal. The prisoners wer, ] brought before him and tried in form The evidence of Vindicus was heard and the letters of Tarquin read; afte 
 which the conspiraters were asked i they had anything to urge in thei defense.
 Signs, groans and tears were thei only answer. The whole assembly stoot with downcast looks, and no man ven tured to speak. This mofnful silenc was at last broken with slow mur murs of Punishment Punishment but the public good. which predomina ted over the feelings of parent, urg ed Brutus to pronounce on them tn | sentence of death.
 Never was an event more capabl of creating at the same time feling of grief and horror Brutus, fathe and judge of the two offenders, wa obliged by his office to see his owl sons executed. A great number of tn most noble youths suffered death d the same time. but they were as littl regarded as if they had been person unknown.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
The Full, Round Strong Voice
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1891

 The full, round, strong voice is usually, as perhaps you have noticed, also a cheerful voice.
 It is not the voice of the dreamer, or the abstract thinker. It is not the person whose pent-up impatience and energy demand an outlet for relief.
 It is thes voice of a practical indi vidual, who can become energetic upon occasion, but always consciously for the purpose of accomplishing some practical beneficial end.
 Women of this type don't undertake vigorous house. cleaning to relieve their energies. They do it for the pur- pose of getting the house clean, and don't do it any oftener than is really necessary for that purpose. Men of this temperament don't play golf because they take sturdy delight in 'wham- ming the ball as far as they can, but because the game sets them up'' physically and mentally. In youth they may be energetic as result of the example and emulation of youth around | them, but in more settled years thye 1 do not, for instance take anything as violent as l1orseb ck-riding. They find the automobile much handler and more comfortable.
 I And just as they are capable of be- | ing energetic physically, for a pur- pose, they are usually capable of push | ing their mental work when necessary l but not otherwise. And they can be- come aggressive when the prize is worth fighting for and fighting is the method which promises, the most suc- cess Of all physical elassifications they are the least susceptible to disease, be-
 cause on the average they are strong
 constitutionally, though in many eases
 not muscularly.

GEBMANY's ATTITUDE.

Probably Premier Briand didn't ex- pect that Germany would take his speech to the armament conference n the way he intended and desired it. Jn- fortunately conditions between the countries have not improved to the point where the one is wilin to listen to the other seriously and accept what is said without recalling the past It is the natural rather than the ideal attitude that is taken and that is why there is the disposition in Germany to denounce and attack the French premiers state ments.
 Even though the German press de ,lares it to be packed with lies and that France is disDlaying militaristic atti -ude. N. Eriand's sneech unquestionably made a deeD impression to such a de gree that German criticism is bound .t be taken with a gen vous sprinkling O. salt.
 Premier Briand in hIs address plain, declared that 1t was Germany and Ger many alone that made it necessary for i 10 maintain such strong military es tablishment as 1t has planned And ye T from that direction 1t has arranged t cut Its army in TWO and to reduce tn terms of service to eighteen months.
 Instead of resorting to bitter denun citation. it would have been much nor fitting for Germany to have accepte the responsibility for Frances fear an Fiven assurances that would have mad them bsseless. Even though German infers that France is planning to mak a conquest of continental Europe it ! unwilling to see it's own responsibi' it for the French attitude. It must real .ee that it's own conduct has mad France what It Is and that 1t has n more to fear from that country in tn future than 1t had in the past provide lt conducts itself as 1t should.
 Germany cannot disregard the posl lion it holds before the world ii: vie, Of what has transpired. Even thoug there are new hands at the helm it rs mains for them 10 realize that they mus do everything possible to allay suspic lon and the quicker this is sincerely don the better will he its position in tn minds Of it's neighbors and the world. Germany doesn't get that warning fror NJ. Briand's speech it will be making great mistake

LAUNDRY HINTS.

A tablespoon of coal oil in the wash boiler will whften clothes and disinfect them [
 You can wash any delicate material in gasoline without leaving any stains at the edges of the washed parts if you add just a little salt
 A small whisk broom is an inexpen- sive and effective clothes sprinkler Have a small pan of water in which to dip 1t Periodically.
 Don't let the silk stockings remeain in a seiled condition for number of days after removing them Wash them imme- diately. The moisture of the feet rots them.
 Colored clothes should be washed in as cool water as Is practicable for re- moving the dirt and grease. No colored clothes should be boilHd or scalded or allowed to freeze while wet. They should be ironed while damp but not too damp nor not too hot an iron. To set coIors in materials which you fear will run. you must do something more than throw in handful of salt, which has become the accustomed tradition You must make up strong hot solution of salt. and put the cotton or linen in it, letting it stand until cool. Use one cup of salt to two 1 quarts of water. Or you can use sugar l or lead, one tablespoon to one gallon This is effective for everything but blue | One-half cup Of vinegar to a gallon al water is also effective for reds and pink | Alum may be used on delicate colors sJct as embr Oiderles

DIcTArEs or FASHION

Fur coats are out in abundance and many of them are short and rather full skirted.
 Both fur and cloth coats frequently have hip length capes bordered with fur.
 Velvet dresses with looose panels deeply bordered in fur are noted at smart hotels. Chin-Cisn, ehoker and storm collars of fur Are r1iors often seen than the shawl vari- ety.
 The diagonal decofeffe Is worn exten- sively.
 Coiffure bardeaux are the rule rather than the exception these nights, sometimes worn with bobbed hair.
 Many of the new evening wraps have huge draped or puffed collars of the fa- brio used flor the wrap. A wrap worn one night this week had a deep velvet collar trimmed with three rows of velvet cab bage roses closely grouped.
 Colored lace dresses, with copper lead ing, are noted at restaurants these nights topped usually with velvet hats.
 Bright eolored felt hats, variously trimmed with real and fancy cife auilli casually stuck through the crown or posed on the brifn, have been much seer on the avenue this week.

JAPAN's REGENCY.

Naming Prince Hirohito as regent of Japan comes not unexpectedly in 1e| of the incapacity Of the emperor and the fact that he will in all probability be no better. As the head of the govern rent the emperor has certain responsi- bilities that need to be discharged but matters are left in a rnuddled situation when for any reason he is not in condi- tion to look after his duties.
 A regent is one who governs king dom in the absence or disability of the sovereign. ana 1t will be with all the au- thority of tAa ruler that Prince Hirohit6 becomes regent in accordance with the proclamation the position which he will continue to hold while the emperor is unable to look after the duties.

ABRoGArfxe TREATIES.

For nearly a year and a half there has been in effect the merchant marine law known as the Jones act which was passed for the purpose of bettering the American merchant marine. By one of he provisions it was required of the president that he should abrogate with h period of three months the treaties with other nations which permitted of preferential treatment in the matter of duties and tonnage taxes. It was to De expected that there would be howl from the other nations if any move of the kind was undertaken and it devel- oDea as was anticipated. Favored na- lions were not inclined to give up ad- yartaCes and regardless of the fact that President Wilson signed the bill he re. fused to carry out the bnrs require. ments in that respect, and in that par .cular the marine act has never been fulf led.
 But furthermore If reports that come from Washington are correct the abro. gation of treaties is not likely to be un. dertaken by President Harding. From time to time criticism has been made because the marine act was not beins enforced. because our merchant marin. was not doing more business and be cause so many of the ships in the hand of the shipping board were idle whil foreign vessels are doing so much Amer lean business. But with strong oppos: don to the provision when adopted ant with two administrations convinced Q he troubles involved in enforcing ,hers can he little su-nrise over the an rourcement that President Harding 1 % urge it's repeal at the next session 0 congress.

HATs OF EUR AND FABRIc.

Fur and fabric hats are receiving most of the attention of the important designers at the present time. Many beautiful fabrics colorful and metallic have been recently introduced for just this purpose. Velvets embroidered in tim sel or cre broeades are also used this way. whie the metallic laces are also employed
 Tie furs that seem to be most in fa- vor are squirrel, seal, kolinsky, taupe caracul or broadtail. while one well known designer Is using a great deal of black caracul to make the whole hat ra- ther than any combination of fabrics.
 Some recent designs show an unusua, and attractive use of the fur, and one that is employed because of its light effect. The fur is cut in narrow strips sometimes almost the effect of fringe being obtained while in other models the slightly wider strips are crossed In lattice effect on a cire brocade turban Another way of using the fur Is in a series of points in the front and back on turban of belting. Models so de- veloped follow the soft draped effect rather wide at the side, and with some brini, however indefinite.

His was not the cruel, hard glance of revenge. we are told, but. rather expressed all the inward parental feeling at most unusual ordeal. The sons bore their trial bravely.

 There was a murmur of horror throughout the entire assembly when he passed the sentence Of dath upon them. They received it unflinchingly. It was all or non, and Brutus knew that his sons had been equally guilty with the other young nobles.
