WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
OF House Of Commons to Re-
sist Appointment.

In one respect newly appointed
speaker of the British house of COM
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment of
some of the old customs, for he is
no longer expected to make an elabor-
ate pretense of unwillingness TO accept
his great office.
This pretense was carried TO great
lengths at one time, and the cere-
mony took on some points of likeness
Ia the bridal customs of savage coun-
tries, for the speaker was expected 10
make show even of physical re-
Sistanee when led TO the chair.
II was not an original custom of the
house. Far back in history ii appears
TINT speakers protested TO the house
and 10 the crown against their cleo
ton only when they really did not
want 10 be appointed. 1t seems to
have been under the Tudors that a
ridiculous subservience was imported.

that he should make repeated ex-
cuseS and declare himself unworthy Of

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO FRANK
Honest Criticism by Friends Would
Wreck Relations-Almost Every
One Has "Paste Jewels"

It is impossible TO tell the whole
truth TO an average human being and
still remain on terms of friendship
with him. There is little friendship
without make-believe. If two men are
close friends. you may take 1t that
they have been pretending to con-
slderably higher estimate of each other
than they would set down In a perfect
honest diary. pa
II is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie TO another, but they
must discreetly conceal a certain
amount of criticism that Is going on
all the time behind the bones of their
skulls.
What is said In a spirit of truth is
set down 10 malice. Can a man be
your friend If he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even If he steals single jewel
from your crowfl--especlally the paste
jewell We have all-the greatest and
the meaneSt of us--paste jewels In our
crowns. VIII a true friend point them
out TO a world that is already over
much inclined to scofr? Or viii he not
rather organize claque that will
pretend 10 be dazzled by diamonds? +
Man is not only realist. He is also
a lover of romance. He dreams of
what he would be quite as often as
he deplores what he is. He canpot
help being attracted by people who
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such intense
cyclists that they can believe In the
truth of their dreams without any
assistance from other people. Southey
agreed that his "Madoc" was ''the
best English poem since Paradise
Lost" There was no need 10 tell
him so; he knew it already.--New

seeTs Game Old.

Modern faddists who claim to have
invented the new wrinkles in mys-
ticism might bear in mind that in the
second and third centuries there were
many would-be SenSationalists who
maintained regular schools in which
they taught tricks of the trade.
History recalls the names of Glenn
ems. Pantaenus and Origen as the
leading mystic schoolmasters of those
days. Alexandria was their head
quarters. and we are told that the
more matter-of-fact philosopher, who
also ran private colleges and class
rooms. occasionally branded the three
gentlemen referred to as quacks.
In the Middle ages Germany came
to the fore as hotbed of mystic teach
ing. Eckhart, 1851 to 1929, and John
Tauler of Strassburg. 1290-136l, were
the foremost opponents of mystic
thought.
Henry Souso of London and Birming-
ham, 1900 to 1865. absorbed enough
Of these German teachings to spread
them in revised form throughout Eng

AN OLD RECIPE
To DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded. brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get
large bottle Of this old-time recipe
impr red by the addition of other in
CRED .nts, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years
younger.

Election of light from their exposed

GOVERNOR OF METZ HAD
DISTINGUISHED CAREER

The death of General de Maudhuy.
which took place last week puts an
end to the illustrious career OF one
of Frances best known military men.
Born in Lorraine General de Maud
huy as child saw the surrender OF
Metz TO the Germans during the
Franco Prussian war and al the per
iod of his death the General was MILF
tary Governor of the city.
At the age OF fourteen de Maudhuy
left Lorraine for France, entered the
ST. Cyr Military School al seventeen
and was graduated al twenty among
the first % his class.
At the outbreak of the war he was
in temporary command of the 18TH
Division at Dion. forming part OF
the Sth Corps and the armies OF Lor-
raine. He marched on Sarrebours'

but retreated only under formal su-
perior orders.
His mastery conduct of this re-
treat and his successful execution OF
orders to throw the Germans back
across the Mortagne during the battle
of the Grande Couronne de Nancy,
earned him the command of the 1S'h
Army Corps, at the head of which he
faced the Germans in the battle of
the Marne.
On September 80 he was called to
the command of the 10th Army. and
between October and 10 his men
checked the attack of five German
corps and permitted the movement OF
British troops toward the north in the
race of the belligerents to the sea.

the 10th Army while under Gen. de

A regular patron of one of the mod

that all of the china was changed

the winter il consisted of cheerful
red and brown dishes. while in the
summer most of them were white
with green borders or leaf designs.

THE SALE OF THE COUNTY
SCHOOL BONDS

The announcement, following
the meeting Wednesday of the
County Board of Education. that
bids for 100000 of the School
bond issue authorized by the
Legislature of 1920 had been sub
mitted and that all OF these bids
had been accepted, is a cause OF
congratulation all around and
particularly among those com
munities which will get their
much needed improvements.
In all the discussions concern
ing the proposed bond law it was
generally conceded that the pub
lie school building plant through
out the county was in urgent need
of overhauling and conspicuously
inadequate to meet the require
ments of the present day. The
principal contention was as to the
best means to accomplish the de-
sired end. The advocates of the
School bond law pointed to it as
the one available remedy for the
situation and were unceasing in
their efforts 10 make it effective
The last obstacle that had to be
overcome was an unfavorable
bond market under countrywide
financial depression, and it is a
matter of deep qualification to all
concerned TO see the fulflllment
of their hopes SO close at hand.
1t is easy to visualize now the
school children and teachers of
Millersville, Glen Burnie, Lin
thicum Heights, Odenton, Anna
polls Junction, Severna Park,
Stoney Run, Mayo, lglehart's,
Bristol and Shady Side housed in
comfortable and adequate quart
ers instead of the crowded and di-
lapidated structures they have
been forced to occupy because OF
the lack OF funds. The money
from the bond issue will be a
boon TO them. and the buildings
themselves will be a monument
to those public spirited citizens in
the several communities whose
devoted efforts made these inn
provements possible.
The colored schools. too. will
be the benefciaries of the bond
issue to the extent of their block
of $4,000. and that they are in
need of this help cannot be gain
said.
That Annapolis did not also
take advantage OF the opportunity
created by the other communi-
ties through arrangements with
the Baltimore banking houses. is
to be regretted. All that would
have been necessary would have
been for friends and patrons OF
the Annapolis Public school to
have raised $685. in order to get
the $4,000 of improvements here.
Odenton, for instance. did this
very thing and Glen Burnie's citi-
zens got their 100000 in the same
way. So did all the other COM
munities which submitted bids.
The Millersville Farmers Asso-
citation. the pioneers in the move
ment to finance the bond issue
got the advantage of a % per.
cent. rate from their bankers and
SO promptly and enthusiastically
raised the other 81 900 that it gave
heart to the whole enterprise.
But it is not too late vet for
Annapolis. Arnold's. Pasadena
and the others still outside to
come in and get the respective
amounts allotted to them. the
total of which is only S41. 900 TO
be added to the $780, 900 already
subscribed. The School Board
has taken the very gratifying
stand that if those communities
want to bid for the remaining
blocks OF the bonds they may still
do SO. and the bankers. in turn,
