APOLOGIZE QUICKLY

All lovers know true love never runs smooth. The tiff comes and he does not appear Wednesday evening and when he is not there Sunday afternoon both the man and the girl realize what an unpleasant thing it is to have a Falling out"
 Sometimes it is the mans fault, sometimes the girls, but as they each sit alone and think it over their one thought Is to smooth things over Human nature Is not always as big and broad IS 1t should be- The man often feels that he will not take the first step, the girl often thinks 1t Is not her place to try for a reconcili ation, even if she Is in the wrong. And so they wait and moon about and make the members of their re- 'spective families perfectly miserable.
 But the thing to do Is to apologize and as soon. as possible. If the man knows he was stubborn or too frank he should be the first to write or to telephone an apology and straighten things out. If the girl feels that she was the ungracious one it is her place to write a note of apology to the young man.
 And after that note or that tele- phone message the hearts of, both young people should bel contented. They have proved that they can solve life's little human problems well to- gether.
 But the lovers note of apology or lar fault to find, other than there is nothing to class the act as being any better than the balance of the bill. The title of the act. likewise. is the title of a song it features. There's little connection between the two

SUMMARY
COLD-MAKINC DEVICES
COMMON IN GERMANY

LEIPSIC. Germany, Dec. 24.-Al-
chemists and near-alchemists are
beginning to pop up in various
parts of Germany with devices for
gold. AS the financial situa-
ton grows worse, the readiness to
believe the tales of these impostors
increases.
In the Middle Ages Bavaria had
much experience with men who pre-
tended to have learned the secret OF
making gold. The Venetian impos-
tor. Marc Bragandino, who fleeced
Duke William v on a gold.making
scheme, was hanged in 1891 in
Munich on a red gibbet with a gold
cord as the moose. For more thar
a century afterward impostors
avoided Bavaria.
