Ancient Greeks, Prayer Charm.

Great value has always been at

but with primitive people the intrinsic

favored as charms, but among the
early Greeks none was rated as hay

GOT TRADE SECRET CHEAP
Dying 0runkard Sold for Fifty Dollars
the Only Method of Making
Dolls Eyes.

Dolls eyes have romantic history.
says a writer in Pearson's.
Il Birmingham toy manufactures
years ago was approached by one Of
the largest dealers in dolls, who asked
him to undertake the manufacture of
eyes
The toy manufacturer, thinking
there was nothing in the business,
turned dow the proposition
Bat the business was big one, and
when an order to the value of $500
was mentioned the manufactures I'M
dertOOk the work.
The real difficulties Of the task then
became apparent. The first eyes were
hopeless Failures, and a great deal Of
money was spent on experiments. The
cleverest glass tOy-w0rkers in the
kingdom We're engaged, but all to no
purpose. Finally the attempt was
given up.
About eighteen months later the toy
manufactures, by strange chance,
met a man utterly impoverished by
drink and in the last stages Of con
sumption. who held the secret Of the
process for making dolls eyes. He was
willing TO sell this secret for flo
Eagerly the manufactures paid the
price, but SO incoherent were the dying
mans directions that it was impossi-
bic to follow them.
In desperation the Birmingham
manufactures went to the inventors
garnet and saw the process in actual
operation. Before half a dozen Of the
eyes had been made the secret was
grasped and the manufacturer Of
dolls eyes was firmly established.

terrifying. the ground for quite a dis

as If it had been plowed and pieces of
the tree were hurled many yards aud

The next morning, when the old
negro woman went to the house to

.washIna Ones solIed Linen"

The phrase. washing ones Soiled
linen" is popularity used TO express
airing of unpleasant private affairs
or family quarrels in public, the anal
ogy being. of course, that both are
matters for disposition in the privacy
of ones home
The expression comes down to us
as one of the brain children of Vol
tuire, the famous French satirist. The
occasion for its origin is said to have
taken place in TAO when General
Maustein wrote To Voltaire asking to
be indicated publicly of accusations
made against him,
voltaire happened TO be occupied
in answering the appeal Of Frederick

one of his dilemmas. So he replied
to MauStein;

REBUKE THE sLANDERERs

Secretary of War Weeks has done a nation al service in uncovering the true character of one of the foreign propagandists who are in festing the United States This gentleman, John Fortescue, president of the Royal His torical Society of Great Britain, was scheduled to address the cadets at the West Point Mill tary Academy on Armistice Day. The day previous Secretary Weeks directed the sn- perintendent of the Academy not to permit MT. Fortescue to deliver his talk The reason for the Secretary's action is found in book on aBritish Statesmen of the Great War,'' in which MT. Forescue, the author, makes the following observation:
 Americans esteem good bargain, even if gained by dishonorable means, to mark the highest form of ability. The United States can not engage in any form of competition with us, from athletics to diplomacy, without foul play. They must win, if not by fair skill then by prearranged trickery or violence; if not by open negotiations, then by garbled maps and forged documents. There is the fact. It may be unpleasant, but it can not be denied.''
 Secretary Weeks laconic comment was that An author entertaining these sentiments is not considered to be proper person to ad- dress the students of government academy , We should say not! Neither is he a proper person to address any. other group of AmeTi72 can citizens It is the announced purpose of Mir Forescue to deliver series of lectures throughout the country, and the evil influ- ence he would have spread among our peo- pie would have been tremendouse had not Secretary Weeks shown him up in his true light at the very inception of his tour.
 The president of the Royal Historical So- ciety may be an exaggerated instance of the anti American European, but, judging. from the number of such individuals who are continually visiting the United States, the type must be an extensive one. Few of them are so open in their criticism of Americans as MT. Fortescue, but the fact that they all are so free with their advice on the entrance of this country into the League of Nations, treat ment of the allied debts, and assistance to Europe shows that they are no true friends It is time the American people called halt on such proceedings and announced to the world that the leaders elected by their votes were quite capable of handling the affairs of the United States without outside assistance.
 Secretary Weeks has indicated the course that should guide the authorities throughout the United States State and municipal off cials and leaders of organized movements of all kinds everywhere should take their cue from the Secretary of War. There is no room on the American lecture platform or in the columns of the American press for the dis scmination of propaganda calculated to under mine the respect of our citizens for their gov ernment and its institutions.
