PROVERBS HELD IN COMMON
Remarkable Similarity of Ideas Noted
Among Nations, Both of the
Old and New World.

The similarity of ideas all over the
world is found in the similarity Of eX-
pressions to convey the ideas. The
old English proverb "a fool and his
money are soon parted" finds its
counterpart in the phrase, There is
no medicine for fool" But the
japanese also claim that by good
management they can do something
even with fools, when they say, Fools
and scissors move according to the
mode of using them" Some of us car
ry our Latin with us all our lives,
just because we had good teacher
To these, the old Latin saying, "The
eagle does not catch flies" (Aquila non
capit muscas) will recall old memories
of the pride and sarcasm of the Ro-
mans. So also will they be pleased to
read the Japanese aphOrism, ''The fall
con does not peck at ears of corn,"
which is true, as falcons, especially
those of the peregrine type, are much
more likely to seize and carry small
animals like lambs, rabbits, chickens.

coIorfuI and Metallic Materials Have
Been Recently Imported for
This Purpose.

Fur and fabric hats are receiving
most of the attention of the import
ant designers at the present time.
MANY beautiful fabrics colorful and
metallic have been recently introduced
for lust this purpose. Nelvets EN-
hroidered in tinsei or cire brocades
are also used this way, while the
metallic laces are also employed.
The furs that seem to be most in
favor 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 rather than any cOmbina-
ton of fabrics.
Some recent designs show an unusual
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

OscuTatory.

The COB was on shore leave and
happy because he had found a girl as
affectionate as he. His joy was
dimmed, however, for a bluecoat had
forbidden spooning in the park and his
girl had tabooed it on the streets. But
life took a new turn when he saw a
man kiss his wife farewell in front of
the Pennsylvania station, New York.
He rushed his girl toward a crowd hur-
rying toward the Philadelphia express,
and bade her a fond farewell. When
the crowd thinned, they joined throng
for Washington, and repeated the act.
They repeated it again before the Chi
cago train.
This was too much for colored por-
ter who had been watching. He
stepped up to the COB. "Boss," he said,
''why don't you go downstairs and try
the Long Island station. Dem local
trains am a-leavin' mos all de time !"

''To ridIcule the idea of this country

OCEANS HARD TIC IMAGINE
People of the Middle Ages Found II
Difficult to Conceive Extent
of Waters.

Eratosthenes was right; the earth

Homer was right when he sang of the
mighty flood" but he was thinking
of the insignificant Mediterranean
What poet had Imagination enough tn
picture the vastness of the Pacific!
Many had surmised the truth, but move
had realized its extent. When the
caravels of Columbus had sailed and
returned the wise ones Of the RenaiS
sance were astonished by the story
brought home. 1t seemed Impossible
that there could be so much water.
And still the girth of the seas WAS
uncomprehended. 1t was oniy when
Magellan's Santa Vittoria had circum-

How Sand Dunes Travel.

In the desert of La Joya, Peru.
there are thousands Of cressent-shaped
sand dunes, formed by the winds, and
slowly advancing across the level sur
face. One Investigator measured one
of these dunes, the points Of whose
crescent were 160 feet apart, while the
length round the convex side was 4T711
feet. The width at the widest part nr
the crescent was more than 100 feet.
The weight of the sand composing thu
dune was estimated at 5000 tons, YET it
moved 125 feet in year. ALI the
dunes have the same form, and NIL
have the convex side toward the pre-
vailing south winds.

the suitability of a brocaded fabric

when we consider the simple way in
which they are made and the fact that
they have no trimming, they are quite
appropriate.

COLUMBUS LANDING PLACE

with hand run tucks find them difficult
to keep straight. Yet as they make
pretty and inexpensive trimming for
children's dresses especially they are
apt to remain popular. One inventive

makes tucks on the machine, using the
tucker, q coarse needle and no thread,
she will have the needle marks to use
as guides, the result being quick and
even work at half the outlay of time
and patience required by the old
method.

THE START OF DIVORCE

The most primitive people held that
A husband could repudiate his wife at
will. This was gradually modified, till
separations could be obtained for
cause. The hearing of cases came to
be a function Of the courts, and laws
grew and adapted themselves till a
special code of divorce laws was
framed. with special court to handle
the cases. The first real divorce court
was established in England by act Of
Darliameut ia 1857.

cheered them. Their seven children will be taken
TO them from Switzerland.
Charles and Zita as everyone EnOws sought re-
fuge Switzerland, after the collapse of the CEN
tral powers in 1918. The Swiss government was
not enthusiastic over Charles but consented TO
allow him to remain within its borders on the
distinct understanding that he would hold aloof
from any movement whatsoever for the recovery
of the thrones that he had lost and against the
new governments, duly recognized by the powers
of Europe that had been established in his former
idominions.
Last spring Charles abused the hospitality reluc-
tantly accorded to him by the Swiss government
He left his beautiful residence on the shores Of
Lake Geneva, and proceeded in disguise to Hun
gary turning up at the royal palace at Budapest
and requesting the regent, Admiral Horthy, to sur
render to him the supreme power to which the
admiral had been elected by his fellow citizens.
The admiral quite naturally refused and the coup
came to paltry end Charles vas turned out Of
the country without he his followers making
any fight.
Switzerland announced that it would no longer
harbor him within it's borders, but relented at the
pressing instance of the powers of the entente,
who at the moment did not quite know what to do
with him. So he was allowed to rejoin his family
in Switzerland in return for his giving his parole
and pledgng his most sacred word of honor that
he would abstain from any further attempt to re-
cover the Hungarian throne
Yet despite these solemn pledges, he attempted
last October another coup, leaving Switzerland
by airplane with Zta and aghtng in Hungary.
A number of disaffected troops focked to his flag.
Fighting ensued. There was considerable amount
of blood shed, and the neighborine states went to
the heavy expense of mobilizing heir respective
armies threatening to invade Hungary if Haps-
burg rule was restored at Budapest Charles sec
ond coup ended in dismal failure. The forces that
he gathered around him surrounded and
crushed, while he himself was taken prisoner.
Then came the question Of putting him where
he should be harmless. The congress of Versailles
had adjourned but it had delegated its powers to
a commission composed of it's ambassadors which
had become a more or less permanent body, and
who constitute a sort of supreme international
council These ambassadors, in the name of the
congress of Versailles and in that of the supreme
council decreed Charles of Hapsburg an interna-
tional outlaw unworthy any longer Of belief and
as a standing menace to the peace Of Europe in
the event of his being left in relative freedom,
since no dependence could be placed upon his
word of honor.
Charles freely admitted when taken prisoner in
Hungary that he had broken his pnghted wOrd
but maintained that no promise that he might give
no matter how sacred, could weight Ii the balance
when he felt himself called by his people to
his throne.
Moreover, Charles persistently refused to re-
nounce his hereditary rights" So in November
