THE LAST OF THE HAPSBURGS
By DR.. Frank Crane

By DR.. Frank, Crane
Charles of Hungary, last of the Harsburgs,
disappears into exile. r.
He is a picturesque and pathetic figure.
He not only represents the petering out of a
noble family, but, what is more tragic, the
peterng out of a dead idea.
He illustrates the senility of the idea of
heredity.
Heredity is a notion that the world chung to
through a good many centuries, trying to find
something stable upon this earth of change.
We are just awakening to the fact that nothing
is stable unless it can change.
Charles is not only the last of the HapSburgs
but he has better right to be called the last
of the Caesars than William of Hohenzollern.
Many authorities regard the House of Haps-
burg as the legitimate continuation of the line
of Caesars.
AS one says, "The Hapsburgs were of royal
and imperial rank long before the Hohenzol-
lerns were petty, quarrelSome, but undiStln
guished East German potentates Whereas the
oldest German empire was no older than its
monarchy =.
But even that is no. quite accurate.
Guglielmo Ferrero, in his recent interesting
volume, "The Ruin of the Ancient Civilization"
says that until the time OF SeptlmuS SeVeruS,
the Roman Empire never acknowledged the
hereditary or dynastic principle as The base OF
it's organization. The Emperor, like the repub-
lcan magistrates, only acquired his power, by
election; parentage or birth was never accepted
as legitimate title to authority"
Hereditary monarchy is an affair of the East
and was only grated on to Europe by the gen.
eraF Influence of paganism throughout the Mid
die Ages.
Charles, therefore, is typical rather of an ex-
tinct idea or moribund idea than of decn
ing house. Personally he is of no importance
Like most hereditary kings, he was second
rater. Continuous heredity has never produced
frSt-caSS men.
The really great men of the race, the leaders,
the men of distinction, originality, and power
always come from the common soil of the
population.
Monarchy is somewhat frantic and intrinSi-
caly absurd effort to avoid the recurring con-
fusion of elections. 1t does not even do that
For in England for instance where exists
probably the most successful monarchy, it is
one only in name, and the violence of political
turmoil goes on just the same with the clash
OF parties, and the king is so removed from it
that he has practically little or nothing to do
with the whole business.

NEW DRUG


A new and mysterious drug has found its

1t was discovered through the, efforts of
Federal Narcotic Director Ralph Oyler. The
existence of the new drug is causing govern

covered in the Harrison law.

to respond to any cocaine test

REVERSE ETIQUETTE

Rules of etiquette requiring gentlemen to

will be reversed when Miss Agnes McPhail, Of
Ceylon, takes her seat as. the first woman
member of the Canadian parliament. She
will be the only member uncovered.
Male members of parliament, maintaining

OUR WASTEFUL HABITS

IN Is frequently remarked by close
observing Englishmen who visit
n America, that our people are
{shamefully wasteful, and fling away
money without any apparent thought
of the proverbiaI rainy day.
Whether these alien cOmmenters
have penetrated deeply into the sub
ject Is not definitely known, but judg-
ing from their Oft-repeated averments.
assuming at times form of caustic
criticism, there is doubtless more
truth In the matter than we suspect.
II is not without pang of regret
a ruffling of our pride, perhaps-that
we Americans. who are disposed TO
analyze conditions with unbiased
minds. reluctantly admit that our Eng
fish cousins are right.
We recognize that we have many
spendthrifts, constantly setting a bad
example to the young. that they are
extravagant and decidedly foolish.
Money is poured out like water, as
though. like Topsy. ''it just growed."
There Is consolation, however, in
the thought that these profigates
come mostly from the ranks of the
newly rich and thoughtless inheritors.
They have no idea Of the stern
realities of life. nor the long dragging
years of incessant labor and self-de-
NAL that are necessary for a working
or professional man to accumulate
even moderate competency for old
age.
These people congregate where the
music flows. where the tables are
heaped with dainties. They smile and
backbite, puff themselves up like frogs
and spend recklessly. They fall natur-
ally into a state which Is common to
their kind.
II we could follow them through
their improvident course to the end,
we would find them in pitiable plights,
repentant and likely as not homeless.

and money ought now be impressed
upon all Of us with considerable more
stress than II has been in the recent
past. and particularly upon the in

With all the winds that blow.
But time shall bring the steady blaze,
The flame that never died;
Yea. time shall bring cOntented days,

OF course you love her as of yore-
The years that you have shared

Your love she ought to know,
For time has brought the steady

But why not tell her so?

"What can | do with these dingy
old floors? Until this year they've
been carpeted, but / know that the
house would be more sanitary and
easier to clean with finished floors and
rugs that could be taken out of doors
every week. I'd like to get the floors
fixed while the boys are home from
school to help, but don't know how
to start"
This problem Is perpleXing many
housekeepers who want their homes to
look well and at the same time to
make house cleaning easier.
Dull Neutral Color is Best.
The most durable and attractive
finish for a floor depends on the kind
of wood and how it has been treated,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. Unfinished pine, spruce,
nished, stained and vanished, or
painted, depending somewhat on the
condition of the wood and the rest
of the woodwork in the house. What
ever finish is chosen. a dull neutral
color that tones in with walls and fur
nishing is best.
First of all, make the floor as level
and smooth as possible. Plane or
sandpaper rough places, and draw out
all remnants of lacks or drive them be-
low the surface with a nail set.
Then scrub the wood with hot soap
suds or securing powder, and rinse
thoroughly with clear water. Ink
stains and similar spots can often be
dissolving one teaspoonful of oxalic
acid In one cupful of hot water. This
solution is poisonous and must, of
course, be carefully handled, also all
traces Of 1t and of soap suds or scour
ing powder must be removed with
clean water, otherwise they will in
jure the finish used on the floor.
Homemade Stain for Floors.
When the wood is perfectly dry the
stain, paint, or varnish can be APP
piled.
For pine floor, good brown stain
can be made by dissolving an ounce
Of permanganate Of potash In quart
of warm water. This liquid is violet
colored, but when applied to wood,
chemical action results and the wood
Is stained brown.
Another brown stain for either hard
wood or softwood is made from IL
ounces Of pulverized gilsonite dissolved
In a quart Of turpentine.
Apply either of these stains with a
clean brush or sponge taking even
