ROME HOME OF CAUTIONS
Table Of Ancient Emperor VitelIius
Said to Have Cost Him
$500 Every Day.

Very little Is known of the food of
the ancient Egyptians. authorities say,
after explaining that the dwellers in
the Nile valley were so, fond of their
cabbage thai they deified 1t.
The Romans raised a great hurroo
about the art of the Athenian cooks
they captured, history records. But
the delicate aroma of the Grecian pot
was never meant to satisfy the thick
Roman palate. Rome, in its pursuit
of physical pleasure, discarded its
cabbage and sought for rare and deli
cate viands. Polio, it is said, fed the
flesh of human slaves to his fowls to
invest their meat with a new flavor.
Emperor Vitellius' daily market ex-
pense was $4,000. At one banquet he
dispensed 1000 kinds of rare fish and
1000 bird species. His table cost
him $20,000,000 for one four-month
period. To arouse their jaded appe-
tites. it is written. the Romans ate
brains of humming birds. tongues of
ni2htingales and roes Of the rarest
fish.
Testamentary to the skill of the
Grecian cook is the story of the fish
which was so much of sport and
artist that he smiled in admiration
ia. tire face of the chef who was fry
ing him so deftly and with such flavor.

Strive TO Excel.

You are not true to yourself when
you are satisfied with doing what 9TH
ers have done. You may by nature
be fitted for very much greater work
than your neighbors. You may also
be short on some points wherein they
are strong. In either case it would
not be fair to measure yourself by
them. There are certain things you
can surpass in. In these you should
greatly excel if you attain your pos
sibilities. So measure yourself in the
light of your ability and the oppor-
tunities offered by the problem. Then
put yourself to the task of hitting Off
100 per cent efficiency in every at
tempt OF course you will find it hard.

munity would be doing what you are

THE RECEPTION TO DIR. AND
MRS. BURGAN

Much more than denomina-

ception to be given by the CON
gregation and friends OF the First
Methodist Episcopal Church to-
night to Rev. DIR. and Mrs. II.
w. Burgan. DIR. Burgan and his
estimable wife and family. will be
warmly welcomed to- another
years residence in Annapolis. At
the recent conference, DIR. Burgan
was returned To the First Church
by Bishop Mcdowell in the epis-
copal distribution OF the circuit
preachers of this area of Metho-
dism. DIR. Burgan has spent
some years at First Church, and
Annapolis comes as near being
his home as a Methodist preacher
can have a home From the first
he has been actively interested in
the moral welfare of the commu-
nifty, and influential in civic move
ments. The Methodists regard
him as an able preacher and a
sympathetic pastor. and he has
maintained the high scholastic
and forceful oratory standards of
the First Church pulpit In tai
ent, industry and conservation to
duty DIR. Burgan is credit to
the cloth The brotherlv rela-
tions he sustains with the pastors
and people of other dcnomina-
tions, and the whole-souled way
in which he seeks to give his
church its rightful place in the
community and to demonstrate
the value of practical religion
have made him an outstanding
clerical figure, while his warm
heart and clear head have endear-
ed him to the community. ANY
town is better off for having
among its citizens such a cou--
ageous and influential living ex-
ample of Methodism as DR..

FEMINISTS ARISE IN PERSIA
Insist That Wells Are No Longer Re
quired and That Women Are
Independent Thinkers.

That feminine fashions will not be
coerced by law. even thcIgh prison
sentence be inflicted, was the opinion
OF Prof. Jenabe Eazel of the Queens
university OF Teheran, who addressed
members OF the California club re-
Gently on the feminine movement Ia
Persia.
While some American and English
women were being imprisoned for
asking for the suffrage. their progress
i've sisters In Persia were filling the
prisons because they Insisted en- leav-
ing or the veil. The unveiled became
such a majority that the jails in Per-
STA were overcrowded and In despair
the government acquiesced. That
women may appear on the streets OF
Persia without the veil imposed by
the state religion is regarded over
there as a great triumph in the eman-
cipation Of womanhood.
Professor Fazel. who holds the chair
of philosophy In the only university
for women in Persia, spoke in musical
Persian, his sentences being inter-
preted as he went along by Mira All
mad Sohrab, former secretary of the
Persian legation at Washington. and
likewise a believer in the emancipa-
ton of the women of the Orient. Both
are followers of the Bahia philosophy,
through the teachings of which the
Persian women attained what INDIE

enjoy today.
According to the Persian savant, 1t
is the destiny of women to become
members of the congresses and par
liaments of all the countries of the
world.-San Francisco Chronicle.

REMINISCENT OF EARLY DAYS

There Is Il Sardonic common
tary on our civilization III the an
nouncement that postal employees
in the middle west have been
armed with shotguns and revolv-
ers As a precaution against ban
dts. As a result of numerous
train and highway robberies it
has been found necessary to go
back to the days of the pony ex-
press of the early sixties. 1t was
hazardous business to carry the
mail in the West in those DAYS.
and the horSemen engaged in the
service had to be armed to the
teeth to repel the attacks of ban
dts and Indians.
What is the cause of the re-
CrudeScence of banditry of char
acter SO audacious that it has
been truthfully said it was hardly
exceeded by the exploits of Jesse
James? Portraying of daring
crimes in the movies say some /;
contempt for human life that was
bred of the war. say others, while
a third opinion is that diSrespect
for the law shown by lynching
parties and tar-and-feather cpl
sodes is TO blame Probably all
of these are factors to some Eek
tent.
Whatever the cause, there is
need OF drastic steps to meet the
situation. In arming postal serv-
ice workers the postoffice depart
ment seems to have adopted the
only method that has so far been
found effective in counteracting
the holdup man.
