CLASSES HIMSELF HIGH.
In the Realm of Poetry, Does Young
Shah of Persia.

London, March 1.-The young shah
of Persia, who recently left his capital,
Teheran, for another trip to Europe
is said to hold high opinion of him
self as poet. In fact, according to
story told here, he puts himself in
a class with Omar Khayyam and con
siders himself, ii anything, trifie bet
ter than his great countryman.
As the story is told by the Morning
Post, a British minister at Teheran
called on the shah at the request OF
English admirers of the great Persian
poet and asked that better care be
taken of his grave at Nishapur. where,
as Omar predicted, "the north wind
still scatters roses on his tomb" But
the shah could not be impressed with
this need. Persia, he declared, had
lots Of poets and he, himself, was. pos
sibly, little better poet than Omar.
Ahmed Mira, shah OF Persia, is only
"a years old and this, some say, may
account for his opinion. He knows
English and Russian and talks French
fuently and accurately and has been
reported as eager to learn western
ways and institutions.
In appearance his majesty is short
and stout. He takes lively interest
in sports, plays a good lawn tennis
game and, in order TO encourage open
air sports in Persia, founded the I'm

Soothes while it cleanses

Some women will complain that soap is
too harsh, that it ages and dries their
skins. This proves they are using the
wrong soap.

Not extravagant at the price

Ii Palmolivc was a very expensive soap,
such advice would mean extravaganza.
But the firm, long wearing cake of gener-
Gus size costs only 10 cents.
The reason is gigantic production which
keeps the Palmolive factories working
day and night and the importation of the
bland, mild oils in the vast volume which
reduces cost.
Thus this finest facial soap, which if
made in small quantities would cost at
least Is cents, is offered at the popular
price which all can afford for every toilet
purpose.
